No American holds a Canadian to be a foreigner. No Canadoian looks upon an American as alien. “Instead of a feeling of distrust, because we are so rich and populous and powerful, the Canadian feels in that very fact his greatest sense of security; next to the security he places in his own manly self-relianceâ€"a feeling tlxat‘“Americans can understand and respect. They share its inspira- tion as they shared its common source. For we know that the foundations of the American people and the Ameri- can republic were laid by a. stream of pioneers that poured from those Teuto-Celtic islands of which England Is the largest factor. “What a marvel has been this Eng- land! For nearly a thousand years her shores have been inviolate from the foot of an invader, while all the rest of Europe has been crosshatched in paths of blood. With an inexorable purpose unparalleled since the R0- mans marked the earth for their own. the sons of England have driven to «wards the outer marches of the world. Uh nastward and westward has gone 'their'genius for empire.

While certain modifications in exist- i lug machines ought to be affected.I Doctor Bell says that as aerial science i stands to-day the offer is a good] sporting chance for airmen. i .“There are machines existing now," said Doctor Bell, “which, if they can I continue‘doing for twenty-four hoiurs what- they have done already for shorter periods, will make the flight possible in r. single day. The '72 hours is a much longer time than will be needed; If the ocean is to be traversed a in an airship at all, it will be in far, less time than Lord Northcliffe allows. ! “If I were tomake the flight," said the veteran inventor, “I wouldn't make I any- allowances for alighting at sea; and replenishing my fuel. To make the trip at all, it ought to be done in a single spurt. i “While hydroâ€"aeroplanes can take lto the water and rise again into the air the chances are against their doing anything of the sort. There is also ivery. little likelihood of their finding gthe supply ship from which .to re- iplenish their tanks. Even if the wings !of the airship are not injured by the descent, the chances are that once jon the water it would remain there ‘until picked up, or until, under the 2,buffetings of the see. it went lower. posed order on the chaotic despotisms . of India. vigor, it turned to the jungles of Africa and let light into the remotest corners of the Dark Continent. Then, with undiminished! Wherever it has gone it has car. ried law and has held aloft the ideal of liberty. Freedom of conscience is l'not an English invention. But 'out of England have come the men who have spread it over the face of the earth. l l v i still and disappeared.” I " Doctor Bell referred to his labora- tory notes and stenographic reports of l conversations with the Canadian in- ventor, F. W. Baldwin, a couple of years ago, looking to long flights by aeroplanes through high altitudes. I Doctor Bell's ideas, based on his in- vestigations made with Mr. Baldwin“ is that the greatest service will be! got from the aeroplanes flying at‘ great heights. Mr. Baldwin advanced J the idea, which Doctor Bell at once accepted, that the resistance to the forward rush of an airship diminishes in exact ration with the density of “Her parliament is the mother of ' the am He found that life could be representativegovernment, and to-day remains the most responsible and the most responsive government on the face of the earthâ€"with the possible exceptions of those improed govern- ments set up in the newer Englands, beyond the seas. “Her language is the vehicle of poetry unmatched since the golden days of Greece. Her Cromwell and Marlborough are the nearest rivals for the crown of the greatest soldier of the modern world. Her sailors, from Drake to Nelson. were on the see. for .300 years what Napoleon was on the ‘land for 15. Her mighty navy is" now the most powerful single influence for peace in all the world. “Back of all this is the firm un- yielding English character, with its love for order, its respect for lay, its intense devotion to duty, its indomit- able will to do what is to be done, its quic"ness to know the rights .of man, and its unyielding courage to maintain them." ‘WOOD BLOCK PAVING "Pine Proving .Good Substitute For Asphalt in Canadian Cities The paving of city streets with wood is again coming into favor, method of laying the pavements mak- ing this one of the most satisfactory .of pavements. Vancouver’s pave- ments are largely of wood. Eighty- two per cent. of the new paving in Minneapolis is wood-block, and Saska- toon and other Western towns are giv- ing the wood-block paving the pre- ference. Best results are obtained from rec- tangular-shaped blocks cut from Southern or Norway pine which are thoroughly seasoned and creosoted. ‘This latter process not only lengthens the life of the wood but reduces its absorptive capacity for water, thus preventing the weakening of the wood- flbres and reducing Its tendency to buckle. The most approved method .don, New York and other large cities, is to flrst make a concrete foundation four to six inches thick on which is laid a thin layer of sand, or, better which the biocks are closely set. The blocks are from five to nine inches in depth and must be free from .defects. Care must be taken to place them with the grain perpendicular to the road-bed. If laid with the lens, edges at right angles to "the curb the Joints are apt to become worn by the calks on horses' shoes, so to prevent this and to best provide for possible expansion. the paving is laid at an angle of about sixty-seven degrees with the curb. The joints are usually filled with ground cement and the sur- face of the paving is then covered with a thin dressing of coarse sand, which beds into the pores of the blocks mad roughens them. Such a pavement has the smoothness of aSphaIt and will last almost without repair for fifteen years under ordinary nos Editions. _â€".-.-. -... _._ -x'. l l | new . i . sustained at a great height if the denâ€" . sity of the air was one-third the nor- mal density at sea level. Therefore a machine capable with sufficient propeller rovolutions of driving 40 miles an hour at sea level â€"and much greater speed had actually been attainedâ€"would go at a rate of 120 miles an hour in the rarer atmos- phere. Even if the atmosphere were thin- ned to one-third its normal density, a speed of three times the normal rate would project the aviator against ex- actly the same number of particles of oxygen as if he went 40 miles an hour on sea level, Dr. Bell declared. In other words, the onward rush of the machine would preserve a normal atmosphere. At the same time, the higher speed would give the lighter air preciseiy’the supporting power of heavier air at sea level with the lower speed. “Starting at Halifax," said one pas- sage in Doctor Bell’s notebook, “in the i early morning by daylight, we should reach the coast of Ireland in time for ! a late dinner. This is assuming that the distance is 2,000 miles.” ‘ Doctor Bell's calculations were = based on an airship capable of 40 miles an hour at normal elevations. He proposed for it to fly actually five miles high in one-third the atmosphere with a triple speed. i i i l “MAN A QUA'DRL'PED” i Learned Savant Thinks Physical Erect- ness is Wrong Is the “upright carriage" of the body all a mistake? Dr. Earnest Klotz, a well known Leipzig physician, thinks it is a very great mistake, and in a learned book, “Man, a Quad- ruped," tries to prove that hu"" .. _ - ings ought to crawl about on r The cause of half our illnesses red of nearly all our digestive strange.

Walking erect d‘ls- placed all the organs, which hang lower in the body than nature intended them to be. If a man crawls instead of walking the organs tend to hang in the right position from the spinal column. ; â€"'_â€"_ 1 Paper Garments The best results yet attained In various attempts that have been made to produce a wearable cloth from paper are said to be those produced by a .patented process employed In saxony._ Narrow strips of paper [are spun into yarn. which may be woven :to form cloth.

'ON SEA AND [AND Old Vessels, Engines and Men That Decline to be Relegated to the Scrap Heap â€"_ The Britannia, King George's big yacht. is how twenty years old, but is still able to hold her owu against almost anything afloat of her own size. Racing yachts are supposed to be fragile affairs, but some of them last a deal longer than anyone would Britannia, for example, has several competitors to ‘ Which, in spite of her some of years of life, she is a mere chicken. Of them all, Bloodhound possesses by far the most marvellous record. Blood- hound is a forty-ton cutter, which was built as long ago as 1874. In 1907, after a long career of successful racing, she was sold to be broken up, when Lord Ailsa, for whom she was originally built, bought her in to save her from the shipbreaker’s yard. He refitted her; and that year she won "thirty prizes in forty starts, sixteen being firsts. In 1908 she was racing i again, when she Was run into by an- other yacht, L’Esp‘erance, and was got on to the mud only with great difficulty in time to save her from sinking. It was thought that this would end her career, but her owner raised his old favorite and repaired her, and 1909 proved her most success- ful of all seasons. In it she won ‘flfty prizes. It was in 1851 that the all-conquer- ing schooner America arrived in Brit- ish Waters and swept the board, carry- ing all before her in the events for which she entered. After a long and eventful career, in which she figured ascruiser, blockade runner, and prac- tice vesséi for naval cadets, she was refitted- as a racer in 1875 and finished fourth in a' fit-ct of twenty-five starters. She was then sold at auction for $5,000, and so late as 1897 was stil. going strong. Pioneer Locomotive Yachts are not the only products of man’s ingenuity which retain thei: speed to an advanced ago. That mos. famous of all Great Western Railwa: engines, the Lord of the Isles, we designed by Sir Daniel Gocch in 15st. and soon after she was built attained the then unheard-of speed of seventy- seven miles an hour. It was not until the year 1906 that the Lord of the Isles and her sister 'the North Star were sent to the scrap heap, and thry were still capable of holding their own in the matter of speed with most of the later productions of railway engineering skill. In years to come our descendants will look with interestvat some of. the famous motors which made records in the first decade of the twentieth century. A petrol motor ages more rapidly than any other form of engine. F. T. Jane, the British "naval ex- pert, drives a racer which was built as long ago as 1903, yet still posses- ses a tremendous turn of speed. Weston’e Little Walk .On the race track we find horses which, though they have attained what is for a horse old age, can still beat competitors of half their age. Of these, Manifesto and Dean Swift are the two most notable‘ examples of recent years. Manifesto was some- where about eighteen when he won his 1 last Grand National, and Dean Swift ‘ was flat racing and winning up to about ten years old. Of veteran racers of the twoâ€"legged variety, it is‘ probable that the most wonderful of recent years was Edward Weston. Having once walked from New York to San Francisco he thinks nothing of a 1,000-mile jaunt. REFUGE FOR BALL PLAYERS Job of Scout or Umpire Open to Those Who Make Good When veteran ball players serve there is just two havens of refuge. for them. One is the position of scout and the other is that of umpire.
