Renfrew, Sept. 14.--The saw mill at Calabogie, belonging to James Dempsey, was destroyed by fire Wed- nesday morning. The origin of the fire is a mystery. Mr, Dempsey had his season's logs at Calabogie ready to be cut. His father, S. J. psey, lost all his property in Cochrgpe by the recent fire there. > [a ARAN ea TE Every Subscriber S 1 a i !

The plantation, whi of the lands owned by the Crown and administered by the Commissioners | of Woods and Forests, included a considerable area covered with } spruce, fir, cots pine, and laren, 'with an undergrowth of chestnut, Not very long ago a party of experts looked at the trees with the dispas- sionate measuring eye of the under- taker, and gave it their opinion that from this wo it was possibie to get 3,000,000 board feet of tim- ber. To-day whole acts of it been swept clear by ind, the quaint square tower 1d Royal lodge, which stands deep-set in the wood, and whieh, so the stcry goes, by its resemblance to the cage of a grandfather's clock gave the planta- tion its curious name, is vigible from the roadway for the first time, per- haps, in a hundred years. And still the Canadian woodsmen g9 on, eat- ing their way through the wood wita a thoroughness that knows no merey, The lumber camp is 'all Canadian ~----men, machinery, and methods. The men, who are drawn from all paris of the Dominion, have the bronsed, healthy look and the easy, confident | swing which we have learned to look | for in Canadians. The kbaki under | their blue overalis proclaims them soldiers; they draw military pay and | they know the rudiments of military drill; but first and last they are woodsmen, with their craft at their | finger-tips. Every man knows his task and does it with an enviable | independence of orders or imstruec. | tions; yet from the first stage to | the last the work proceeds smoothly and harmoniously. Let us follow | the process, under the guidance of | the officer in charge and the sergeant | who is 'foreman of the bush.' | ' Facing the main road stands the ! mill--'home,' the men generally call | it--flanked on the one side by piles of logs and on the other by stacks of i bhava sawn timber. Walk along the wind» ing track of a light railway, not yet | completed, which passes behind the | mill, until you come to a clearing, where burning heaps of 'brush' lop- ped from the tops of the fallen trees are filling the air with the refresh. ing scent of the pine. Here and | there thrgugh the blue smoke you | catch a glimpse of a lumberman in g picturesque slouch hat. A little further you are among gang of 'fallers.' Watch how fell a tree, 70in. or more thick at the A man with an aze kneels at its foot and with a few dexterous strokes cuts & deep nofch in the trunk a few inches from the ground, Two others with a cross-cut saw cut through the stem on the opposite side. In half a minute the tree begins to lean and there is & warning shout. A ge cond or two later, with a loud cracking and rending sound, it to ples and crashes to the ground. With- out any apparent effort, the 'fallers' have controlled the direction of its fall almost to a foot. Next, without 'any ado, half-as dozen "swampers" set to work with dxe, clearing the limbs and straight ening up the tree. Simultaneously a "fitter," with a wooden rod, divides the stem in suitable lengths, mark- ing the cutting points with a notch; while two other men, one Carrying a paint-pot,' measure the tree, enter the size in a book, and mark the read from - over | Canadian | bh. forms part | | ton portion of the tube : 3 Ee 5 _£. a PTL . i a - --te------_t-- ---- ~~ THEDAILY BRITISH WHIG, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1916, Stam and * the butt . of several - trunk with a blob of red paint show that their work 's done. Saw- yers then. cut the stem according to the "fitter"s" marking, and ithe sec. tions are ready to go to the mill. They are dragged -there by horses over deeply scored trails and "sloop- ways," and take their turn to come under the saw. The mill itself is a Stoutly-bullt structure, made of timber cut-and prepared on the spot, the saw and engines coming from Canada. For hours the saw screeches and throws' | off a spray of sawdust as it slices up the logs that a short while before were splendid living trees, and all the 'whole, other saws, trimming the {edges of the boards and cutting off "the ends, join in the chorus. surprising that the daughter of the keeper of the woods was reduced to tears wheh she stood by the mill? CANADA'S BIG TELESCOPE, | Instrument for Victoria; B. C., is | Largest in the World, | The great 72-inch reflecting tele- | scope designed and constructed for | the Dominion Ast 'onomical Observa- | tory at Victoria, B.C., ranks in size as the largest yet completed in _the world. In design the telescope is a | reflector six feet in diameter with an | equatorial type of mounting, having |the main or polar axis pointing to- | wards the north star and swinging | the body of the telescope in a plane | parallel to the earth's equator and |the apparent paths of the stars; and la dectination axis at right angles to |and passing through the centre of |the polar axis, to allow movement inorth and south. The instrument {weighs 55 tons, and will rest upon | massive piers of reinforced concrete. |The polar axis is 23 feet long and | weighs ten tons. The declination {axis weighs five tons, is 141% feet |long, 156% inches in diameter, CAITY- ing a flange 41 inches in diameter and four inches thick, to which the | body of the telescope is attached. | The tube is 31 feet long in three sec- | tions, and weighs 12 tons. The cen- | tral cylindrical casting is 12% f. * in diameter, six'feet long, and weighs {Seven tons. The mirror cell, weigh- ing with counterpoises and mirror six tons, forms the lower end, while to the upper end is firmly attached | the rigid skeleton tube, made of ' structural steel in tension. The skele- is 23 feet long, 7% feet diameter, and weighs "with attachments abouf two tons. A driving clock similar in design tto that which has been so.successful in the Lick and Yerkes telescopes, moves 'the telescope east or west with great precision, through an ae- curately cut worm wheel nine feet in diameter mounted on the polar axis, The telescope is moved from one positiop to another, and is set and guided wholly by electric motors, Seven motors with solenoids and magnetic clutches are provided for these motors. With the focal length of 108 feet the guiding speed neces- sary for a star image is 1-300 inch per second. The observer, at either the upper or lower ends of the tube can clamp or unclamp the telescope, make the fine settings and guide the tele- scope by means of push buttons on a portable key board kept at a con- venient place, The engineering and mechanical Jegblema involved in designing and constructing a telescope of such great proportions and accuracy will be apparent when considering the extreme rigidity, necessary for carry- ing the optical { parts ( invariably in their correct relative-posjtions with- out strain, and at ths same time 80 well poised and adjusted as to en- able the telescope to be easily pointed towards and accurately set on any desired object, and to enable the = whole massive mechanism, weighing 43 tons, to unvaryingly follow the motions of the stars, The sun, the moon, the planets, and the comets all have different rates of motion to that of the stars, and all this must be provided for in the con- trolling mechanism; The revolving dome is 66 feet in ri a Blow for » 8nd is provided with a -- iy. its FA es . « Victory to, Is it | § with 5 = 2 : E = = : B B | ¢ Issue of $100,000,000 5% Bonds Maturing 1st 00 A OE October, 1931.
