A motor went dashing along the roads of the Pas de Calais, at a speed which made the gendarmes at thelr posts shoulder their bayonets smartly jand stand at strict attention. neither the smartness of the one movement nor the strictness - other had' the slightest effect on the flying motor, which whirred past the sentry's box as if it bad been a rab- bit's warren, Someone in the rear seat sat forward tensely, as if urging the chauffeur to go still faster. The French gendarmes stood and gazed after the cloud of dust in wide- eyed amazement. "C'est les Anglais," was their one comment, 4g If any mad eccentricity might be ixpectes. and nothing come as a surprise.

The work of the Intelligence De- partment abroad is full of excitement and interest, Sometimes the success- ful "rounding-up' 'of a suspect takes months to accomplish, For tact, di. plomacy, secrecy, and care are essen- tials to thoroughness, There is ngt much rest time for the officers and detectives, At 12 o'clock at night they are often working at their posts, at 5 in the morning they may be roused for instructions, "What are we to do about this case?" an officer was asked, one morning, long before the French peasants with: their wares had taken their stands in the market place.

Amid the roars of laughter which ensued Lord Coleridge woke up with | a start, and judgment was eventually given for the defendant.

Northern 'Ontario Camps See, Bright : After War. Different industries pursue their paths. separately, but all proceed to- wards a common goal. Industries that are instrumental in bringing out the best of a country's resources run parallel with « .ch other; they ate not identical but they are all going i the samo direction, says L. I. '"oore in Thu Toronto Globe. In Northern ontario the big industry is mining, and this promises to hold the of the rapid strides which agriculture has 'made wi: iin the Tast four yedrs. It is no handicap to the agricultural industry, towever, that it does 20t occupy first place as a wealth-pro- ducer, It is, on the cqntrary, singularly fortunate that mining has taken such an important place. The latter in- dustry is filling a most important function, Whether consciously or otherwise, in .pening up the north- ern country for agrfculture. The general prosperity [ which results from the high profitsland good wages ps has tended to spur on the farmek. When crops be, on account of lack of. capital, or labor, or other circumetances not within the farmer's control, there is always work to 3 had In the mines, and this may prove the salvation of many a farmer who is badly in need ct funds to make improvements on his farm. A survey 9. the various mining camps of the north showed that there was pler'y of activity, alike in the gold, silver, and nickel districts, The effect which the war may have on the relative impcrtance of gold and silver, was a subject to which the writer devoted special attention. Opinions o" prominent mining men were sought to get an idea of the place which silver will occupy after the conclusion of the war, and the view almost universally expressed was that silver would occupy a more important place than ever before. However it may be, the price of sil- ver has risen to an unprecedented figure in th. history of the Cobalt mining chmps, and although there are the inevitable fluctuations, the price rem..'ns fairly constant around the high-water level. Still, the price of silver will have to rise from ap- proximate! sevonty cents to $1.20 per ounce before the old familiar ratio of sixteen to one is reached. The silver mines of Cobalt are active, and lower grades of ora {are being treated than hitherto, About 3,000 men are employed at the Cobalt mines, and this number is 1,000 less than the record of 4,000, which was reached a year and a half ago. One feature of living conditions in Cobalt which is a sign of the times is the developmgnt of markets, Farmers from New Liskeard and from across Lake Timiskaming, in the Province ot Quebec, come to the markets at Cobalt to dispose of thelr products, The growth in the agri- cultural industry is indicated by tha fact that a 'uch greater propdrtion of fruits, vegetables, and farm . pro- ducts in general for the population of Northern Ontario is raised north of North Bay at the present time tl \. ever before. The advent of the farmers tends to keep ° store prices down, and better stul® is obtainable. Another factor which affects - the mining life of the north is the devel- opment of more electric power, The Northern Ontario Light & Power Company are running a transmission line for a distance of sixty-five miles to Kirkland Lake. This will place both power and light at the disposal of the ever-increasing number Hf farmers who have settled in that dis- trict. L Muzsling Useless Precaution, Since the beginning of the year thirty persons bitten by dogs have re ceived the Pasteur tfeatment at the laboratories of the Ontario Board of Health, and one Toronto man, wh declined to be treated, has died rabies. The cases which were treat- ed all came from the section of On- tario west of the eastern boundaries of the Counties of Ontario and Sim- coe and were distributed as follows: Brant, 2; Dufferin, 2; Elgin, 1; Grey, 1; Middlesex, 1; Ontario, 2; Oxford, 1; Peel, 2; Perth, 1; Simcoe, 4; Wentworth, 1; Welland, 1; York, 1; Toronto, 10. Moreover, it is pointed out by the Provincial Board of Health in a number of cases cows and hogs have died of "hydrophobia, and that at least one dog kennel has been depleted by the dibease. In the section of the province west of the eastern Loundary of Simcoe and Ontario Counties, regulations adopted fn 1910 are in force. Those regulations permit the muzzling of dogs. Muzzling, the Board of Health considers useless. It favors a rule requiring that dogs %"e tied up or kept" within enclosures for a period in order that the. disease may be stamped out. It points out that by legislation passed in 1914 the police commisisoners of municipalities "av- ng populations of 100,000 or less foe empowered to regulate the run- ning at large of dogs.

Lost Part of Pi Hearing Apparatus Fight in Saloon--1Is Doing Per- "Sonal Work Among Soldiers at Barriefield Camp. "Billy" Matheson, of the City Mis- sion, London, Ont., who is doing per- sonal work among the soldiers of Barriefleld Camp, preached a stir- ring sermon in the First Congrega- tional Church Sunday morning. "Billy" is a converted pugilist, and he carries with him a nearly clipped ear, to which he called the attention of the congregation. He lost part of the ear in a fight inh saloon. The ex-puglilist is a big man and he must have put up a good fistic argument. "Billy" was a booge artist as well as a blood artist, and he informed his auditors that frequently he sought repose in the tobacco-juice sprinkled sawdust in a barroom. He started life when seventeen years of age in a lumber camp in Pennsylvania, and hit the trail of iniquity good and hard, until, over twenty years ago, he struck the cross roads of decision and hastened off on the straight and narroy path, "Billy" doesn't glory in his past; but he recounts bits of .it now and then to show the power of the Gospel of the Son of Man to re- deem men no matter how low they may have fallen. This Gospel was 'sufficient in it- self. It did not need the philoso- phies of men, It was complete and all-powerful: It was essential that Everyone should be his own representative of the Gospel and should preach, not the Gospel of Paul, but the Gospel that was within him, the Gospel which had delivered and saved him. The peason why so many churches were not able to boss t fa | sick, and that their breath contam- the devil was that they lacked the | power of the Gospel.
