Co ed Oran a apa tment of With the adyance of agriculture the increase in farm tools, imple- ments, and machines has been great. A century ago, an axe, a scythe, a spade and a saw formed a large part of the equipment of many farms. These few simple tools were probably the most useful in working the small areas of land under process of clear- { ing. The development of the farms brought improvement in tools and a gradual development toward the modern type of farm machines. of quiaine during the recent flu opidemic may be Interested in the origin and treatment of this drug, which, while most useful in the cure of colds and grippe, has its chief value as a. protection against fever in the tropies.

Wright had come from his home in Wobura, Mass., in 1796, on an-ex- ploration veaturs, which was repeat- od several times before he brought his first party of settlers in 1800. Oddly enough, on his second trip he was 30 impressed with the immense resources In timber that he sald there uld be "ashes enough to furnish & foreign market, even to. load 1,000 vessels." On one trip they spent twenty days at Hull, climbing more than 100 trees, in order to see 8s much of thelr surroundings as they could. As a result of the report he was able to hire all the men he wanted." When he set forth in February, 1800, he brought twenty-five men, miill-irons, axes, scythes, hoes, tools generally, fourteen horses, eight ox- | en, seven 'sleighs, five families (this agecrding to his own record of pre- cedence), and many' barrels of clear pork with no bone. They passed through Montreal and slowly ascend- ed the north bank of the Ottawa, tne last portion of the trip being on the ice. "I never saw people more happy and cheerful in my life," sald Wright All hands joined in cutting down ' the first tres on March 2, and 'the sounds of the axe brought the Indians {rom thelr sugar-making." The chiefs of two tribes of Indians living at the Lake of Two Mountains came up and watched them and their tools and materials, "whooping and laughing." They could not understand the meth- od of harnessing oxen and horses in Pairs, and brought up their children to have a look at the first "tame ani- mals' they had ever seen, they hav- ing been born and brought up on the Great Lakes In the west. They bo:-- rowed the white men's axes," which weighed four or five pounds--their own weighed barely half a pound-- and "Jumped and whooped and huzza- ed," their enthusiasm having been stimulated by the towal of a stiff hooker of rum apiece, and then they returned to their sugar-making. Ap- parently, however, the effect of the rum wore off, because shortly after- ward we find them asking through an Interpreter, one George Brown, clerk in the Indian trade, what auth- ority Philemon had to cut down their trees, anyway. Philemon referred them, somewhat disingenuously, to the Great Father.across the 'water, and ta his deputy, Sir John John- ston, the Indian Agent. The Indians offered lands for $30 down, which seemed reasonable enough, but Philemon had a business head of his own, and he replied by asking the Indians to produce their own doecu- ments establishing their rights. The latter replied that their rights had been granted to their ancestors, who -had no documents for obvious rea-| sons.

After long and patient Investiga- tions a Danish scientist, Dr. Joseph Schmidt, has discovered their breed- ing-place in the neighbornood of Ber- muda and the West Indian Islands. The g-grounds of the Americap and the European eels, which are two distinct species, are contiguous, and indeed overlap, though the American eel ranges somewhat" farther north in its deep- 8éa home than its European cousin. The American eel completes the larval stage in about one year, when it must migrate to fresh water. The eel requires three full years to finish its larval develop ment, and during this period makes its way slowly across the whole breadth of the Atlantic to the coastal seszzssey FERRITE 11 igen » Hin 4 | salFEE i353 the Semi-ready way a .
