"Hands up!" is not such a discon- certing command after all, provided one wears a certain hat of recent in- vention When the highwayman gives direction as to how he would Hke to have you hand over your valuables you look him ealmly in the eyes and then shoot him by simply blowing a tube passing from the mouth to the (rigger of the gun mounted in the top of the hat. Several cartridges are provided in the magazine, so your aim need not be perfect, Furthermore, the recoil from the explosions will not unseat the hat. It coeks the hammer for the next shot and ejects the used shell. The cartridges are automati- cally fed to 'the breech of the gun, and when the magazine is empty the trigger cannot be operated. A new magazine is then substituted by re- moving the hat. The gun is aimed by the. turning of the head and by blowing through the tube a bulb is expanded whieh trips the cocked hammer, exploding the éartridge. PRINCE LIKES U.S. SLANG, Kaiser's Heir "Learned It From a Neat Little Filly." A neutral diplomat gives an ac- count in the Cornwall Magazine of his conversations with the Crown Prince of Prussia, apparently during his voyage to India. The Prince's answers to his questions was: "None of the bull cow, as the Yap jes say; give me the straight goods." Both expressions, as he confessed with a grin, he "had picked up from "a neat little filly from Kentucky," he had seen at Ostend. MASONRY-AT THE FRONT.

Anderson, com-| mander of the southern branch of the Stefansson Cagadian expedition into the far north, are preparing to make | { reports to the Canadian Government, | Ajbey report many interesting discov- | including findings of great tieg; of copper, new species of \n&mmals, and perhaps new | species of flowers. Stefansson, it was! reported, was believed to be continu- | | Jatrick Island. | Discussing the work of his party, | Anderson says: - We were ingtructed to survey tha | copper deposits already known and! geek new ones. Every explorer from; the earliest times had noted that the! Esquimos, east. of the Mackefd%i used knives, spear heads, and other! weapons and utensils hammered | from copper," and the Coppermine | River, which empties into the Arctiz, | got its name from mineral discovered ! many years ago. We found on Coro- nation Gulf and.Befhurst Inlet vast deposits of copper of low grade. We | were not equipped to mining e¢perations, but upon the sides of clits we could measure the depth of successive flows of amyga- | loidal lava containing nuggets of copper An E:kimo «brought to us a lump copper weighing forty pounds. There were seams in the lava that had been tilled with pure copper. Geologist O'Neill took many samples of rock, which will be pssay- ed. He also made many estimates of the area of ore in sight, . This infor~ mation is for the Canadian Govern- ment, and not to be published by us. The ore had many of the character- istics of the Lake Superior copper rock. It is workable from the sur- face, and is near navigable waters, It would be feasible to construet x railroad from the Mackenzie River, which is navigable five months of the year, to Great Bear Lake, which also is navigable muchvof the year. A further railroad line could be bufit from the lake to the copper fields, enabling the transportation - of the ore to the interior of Canada by way of the Mackenzie River, "We probabiy have discovered a number of new specles of small mammals, and we shall find out about that when the skins and skele- tons are examined at Ottawa. It would not be possible to find a new species or even a new geographical variety of the large mammals. Our botanical specimens probably con- tain new species of flowers, but we do not yet know for a certainty, "The expedition we regard as hav- ing accomplished its purpose." of Orders From Italy, It is expected that Canadian knit- ting mills will receive some further orders for knitted goods from the Italian Government through the Knit Goods Assoclation of London. The mills are at upon a contract for 500,000 shirts for Italy. The order was placed with the Knit Coods Manufacturers' As- sociation of Canada, and the value of the contract is something in excebs | of $600,000. A similar order wad | filled last year. The goods now being manufactured will go forward from New York, It is expected that this order will net the mills a fafr profit and sup- plement their regular business favor- ably. The results should be seen in the annual statements. At the.same time the taking of these orders fis likely to make it ncreasingly difli- cult for late retail orders to be filled for fall delivery. The larger mer-| chants invariably benefited by the universal experience of the last two years and placed their fall orders eariy this spring, but a number of the smaller men were content to "trust to luck" or to the chance of the war closing in the early fall and bringing about a slump in the wool and yarn markets, with a downward reaction to themselves in the manu- factured gods, However they did this in the face of repeated warnings both of the mills and the wholesals dealers, -------------- Meals for M. P.'s, When next the Parliament of Can- ada meets in session, probably some time In January, the members will not have to travel so far for their meals. After the fire, when the two houses moved into the Victoria Memorial Museum, there was no longer a Parli tary restaurant, nor-space in which to put one. Mem- bers who had been accustomed to travel no further than an elevator could take them, were forced to seek pastures new and often distant. The steward of the restaurant found his occupation gone, To overcome in part this discomfort, a large house across the street from the Museum has been taken under lease and is now being remodelled and equipped a8 a restaurant for members and senators. There will be a dining- room, smoking-room, ete., and it is probable that the sergeant-at-arms will bave quarters in the building. "Canada in Flanders." Obed Smith, Commisisoner of Emi- gration, has received, by order of the Canadian Government, ten thou- sand copies of Sir Max Altken's book, "Canada in Flanders" for dis- tribution in Euglish schools.

En eR BETWEEN FIFTY AND SID wi FO BE EMPLQY, Er There is Splendid Demand--Un- limied Sapply of Raw Material. The repair work on the North Am- erican smelter, which was recently taken over by the Kingston Smelung ~Co., is being rushed to completion, and it is expected that the plant will be in operation in three or four About twenty-five' men are now engaged in repair work, and ihe company will have between fifty and fixty men on its pay-roll when it gats the smelter running. The capacity of the emelter will be about twenty fons a day. The company has not found it necessary to install dny new ma- chinery, the 6ld equipment being thoroughly adequate for the work re- quired of it when put into a state of repair. ? The company intend (o smelt lead concentrates into lead, for which there is a splendid. market near at home. Lead is now selling in Mont- undertake | real at 8% cent a pound, while in| the same city last year it sold at 413, 4% and even as low at four cents a pound. The supply of the raw material, lead concentrates is fully equal to the great and growing demand for the iinished product lead. The company for the time being will bring. in the concentrates from the west, prirfei- pally from British Columbia and from Illinois, there being no duty to pay. It expects, however, that it will be able to get concentrates in this district. There is iron ore in these parts, and steps are being taken to extract concentrates from it. * THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN DOUBT Toronto Star, Hughes' speeches have been disa- Ppointing. His friends say that they do not: do justice to his powers, and that his actions will be better than his words. Why then, did he sup- press himself? "The answer given by a practical politician is that his game was to he non-committal, What he had to do was to get the normal RepubHlecan vote, which is more num- erous 'than the Democratic vote. Roosevelt's part was to make appeals of a more fiery kind to the Progres- sives. But Hughes' business was to hold the standpatters, and for them the least said the better, Strong speeches might have revived the in- surgency which wrecked the party in 1912. Undoubtedly, too, it was felt that Wilson's course had offended both pro-allies and pro-Germans, and the Eame was to make a drag-net which There are dan- gers as well as advantages in this sort of fishing, and #t is pbdasible that it will fail. But in order to win, Wilson must obtain many more votes than those of Democrats, and all that can be said is that the recent turn of public opinion has made the result doubtful, eee GLO MY QUT- 2 K 18 PAINTED: Toronto Star (Lib.), An exceedingly gloomy picture of the prospects of the Conservative party was painted by gentlemen at- tending the meeting of the faithful in Ward 6. One said that. all the Grits he met were smiling. There is really nothing to smile about, for the assumption! office by a Liberal government at this time would be a painful duty rather than a source of Joy. servative journals are in a frightful temper, spitting and scratching like enraged cats. x Escapes in Battle, "One bullet went clean through my pocket, struck my notebook, znd stayed there. I have it still. It was my first hit, and so I have kept it as a souvenir" Thus wrote an officer from Flanders some time ago, and the incident Is typical of many occasions when men have been saved from death or disable ment by some object they were carry- ing about their person. ; Not very long ago a private in one of the Yorkshire Regiments was saved from death by a cigarette- €ase which he was carrying in a poe- ket over his heart T missile lodged in\ the inner cover--~of the case, and igarettes were badly damaged, but noether harm was done.
