But what a ghameful thing it is that this great dominion, with all Ks manifold resources should continue to remain dependent on an- other country for thé fuel that alone enables our industries to continue their operations or, under certain cifeumstances, prevents our people from freezing to death! With our unlimited water powers, {and With immense coal deposits on the Atlantic coast end throughout the western provinces, we could eas- ily supply our own needs if the effort were made . The federal government will be lacking in duty if it does not with a sincere determination to solve it once and for ail.: It can be done, and it ought to be dome.

To a large extent, our VFy exists ence to-day depends upon the assist- ance so kindly given by a foreign nation. That assistance may be withdrawn at any time, and we cer- tainly could not blame our American friends, if, shoul a crisis occur, they decided to help themselves before they helped us. It is high time that A LOSS OF MORAL PRESTIGE. The New York World rightly de- cares that the fmmediate effect of the senate's refusal to ratify the &reaty of peace is a_mparked decline in the moral prestige of the United States throughout the world. That is already apparent. Although a few British Tories may rejoice along with a handful of German and French Socialists of the Left Wing, there is an almost universal feeling that the action of their senate was a betrayal of the ideals of the Ameri- can people. It cannot be reconciled with what they said during the war or with what they did during the War. + BE Theirs is the only country in which professional politicians have been permitted to make a party ques- tion of the treaty. Everywhere else, except among the elements of ex- treme radicalism that were intent upon destroying the existing order, there has been a elear recognition of the fact that this issue was too grave, too \momentous, to permit division along party lines. Llovd-George has perhaps as many bitter enemies in England as Presi dent Wilson has in the United States, although his enemies may be less influefitial, but when the House of Commons came to deal with the treaty of peace it ignored past quar- rels and future elections and voted unanimously for the treaty. In spite of all the animosities that Mr. Clemenceau has aroused, the at: tempt to play politics with the treaty in the' Chamber of Deputies failed miserably. Nowhere except in the United States has politics been al- lowed to interfere with the ratifica. tion of peace, and if public opinion throughout 'the 'world finds itself be- wildered by the conduct of the sen ate, who can blame it? The Buropean now threatened with starvation, ruin and anarchy as a result of this war, are rightly amaged that the Ameri- can people should have permitted the question of peace to degenerate into '{ a mere political controversy. They do not understand it and they can- not understand it. But one thing fis certain. The prestige that the 'sen- ate has already destroyed will not easily be restored, and in the end it 'is the American people who will pay for the senate's stupendous folly. fi % Be Louisville Courier-Journal) nao why the re are so Many aren't as there sho! fe man has defined dom of speech" mg "the liberty to say what you think Midiont thinking the } supply | peoples who ave | On "Reds" in America is that there} oY Jorma] executions as THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG fot the O.

Hot water will not always cause a cold glass to crack, but is very apt ta, especially a thick glass, The very thin glasses will not crack. The test tubes used by chemists are made of very thin glass, and will not crack when hot liquidg are poured 4% once take hold of this problem | them: When a glass cracks after you have poured a hot liquid into it, it does so because, as soon as the hot liquid is put in, the particles of glass which form the inside of the glass become heated and expand. They begin to do this before the particles which form the outside of the glass be- come heated, and in their efforts to expand the inside particles of glass which form the outside, causing the crack. you put cold water into a hot glass, excepting In this instance the inside particles of the glass contract before the particles which form the outside of the glass have had time to be- come cool and do likewise, ~=From the Dook of Wonders, pub- lished and copyrighted by the Bur- oan of Industrial Education, Inc?

With the coming of the first day of December, 1837, the rebellion in Upper Canada, long threatening, was drawing very near at hand.
