The musical academy of the canary breeder has its professors, the stamp of whose style is left on the pupils as dis- tinctly as that or the vocal export influ- ences the students of the conservatory. Every breeder makes it his business to constantly be on the lookout for old cock buds of repute as songsters. These are never used for breeding, but are usually kept in small, darkened cages. They are the masters on which the musk cal education of the young birds depends. When the neetlings are about six weekl old the cocks are taken away, says the Detroit Free Press, and put in a large cage until ‘they have developed properly. After two months they are put singly into smaller cages. and placed in a room with the master bird, yet so that they cannot see each other. Now comes the testing of the young voices, and the breeder listens carefully to judge their quality and progress the birds are making; The best singers are picked out and put into what are called “single boxes." small wire, darkened cages, placed inelde a tin box. At one side is 3 our tain, which is withdrawn when the bird is to ling. The greatest care is taken that the oanarles never hear an inferior bird, or, in fact, anv other sort of bird, as they are apt quickly to learn wrong notes and so spoil their song. The birds, too, are kept very quiet, and allowed to sing only under pleasant conditions, as it is considered that any kind of disturbance or fright is likely to create a broken, jerky kind of melody. The excellence of the song consists not so much in its loudness. or even in its tone, as in varied repetitions of certain strains. Each melody has its special name and the birds are classed according to the tunes they sing. There are 22 different strains, and. some birds have a compass of four octaves. ’lhe education of the canary in- volves six months of incessent watchful- neu and activity on the part of the breeder. When the bird has reached seven months he is supposed to have acquired his musical education. although a. mient- ed pupil is often left with the master somewhat longer, in order to gain spec- ial finish.

Plane of an Expedition That I: An-' nounced to Start Under Capt. Bernier of Quebec Next Hayâ€"Opinions at the ‘ Director of the Dominion Geological: Survey and of Dr. Nansen. ‘ The members of Quebec Geographical Society, and some or the Dominion Cabi- net Ministers, as well. believe firmly that their country’s flag will be planted at the North Pole by a French-Canadian navi- gator in the closing days of the present century, or in the opening ones of the 20th. The purely Canadian expedition to the North Pole is expected to start next May. It will be led by Captain Bernier -of Quebec. who comes of an old seafaring family, and has already commanded some 47 ships and steamers in different parts of the world. Arctic exploration has been his lifelong study. The Leurier Govern- ment il giving the expedition substantial aid. and its leader has now the assurance that its total cost will be defrayed, save ‘ about $20,000, which he is confident will be forthcoming from Canadian sources within the next few weeks. BERN IER OF QUEBEC ' Dr. Dawson, director of the Dominion Geological Survey, lays that the expedi- tion has a fair probability 01' success, end Dr. Nansen, after having seen all its details, said to Captain Bernler: “ You will get there it you are persevering enough.” The captain asserts no Special originalitylfor his plans. They are based, he says, on the results achieved by Nan- son. He is of the Opinion that many of the other expeditions failed because they were planned in opposition to nature. They started northward in seas where the current ran toward the south. As the vessel advanced in a northerly direction it was consequently meeting dritt ice, which, instead of assisting it, barred its progress. It the explorers advanced on sledges over the ice flee, they became exhausted by useless eflorts, for the low current gradually drove to the south the floe on which they thought they were advancing. In the case of those expedi- tions which were exceptions to this rule unforeseen circumstances interfered with their success. This was the experience of both the Jeanette and the Fram, and Capt. De Long was perfectly justified, according to Bernier, in saying that it ice he would have passed over the pole or in its immediate vicinity. Barnier esti- mates that if De Long had remained upon the ice floe which crushed his vessel he would, three years later at the most, have reached Spitzbergen, as it was part of a northerly bound drift. The leader of the Canadian expedition proposes to take advantage of just such a northern hound current. Hie intention is to charter a good sealing steamer and proceed to the mouth of the Lena River, Siberia, and as much farther toward the north as possible. probably abandoning her in about 79 degrees north and be- tween 130 degrees and 140 degrees east longitude. The party will consist of seven men, including two scientific observers and two Eskimos to take care of the dogs and reindeer. With every equipment that human ingenuity can devise he expects at a minimum rate of four miles a day to reach the pole. and within 18 months to have finished his mission and reached Spitzbergen in the other hemisphere. He hopes to beassisted thither from the pole w_-__ â€"vrâ€"â€" by a southerly bound current. From Spitzbergen he expects to return to civili- zation by the Norwegian excursion steamer. As a precautionary measure the expedi- tion will be provisioned for two years and a half. In his equipment there will be a unique boat in compartments built of aluminum and wood with all the necessary appliances for wind and hand power and so arranged that it will serve also as a house. There will be 30 siedges of various kinds. modeled to carry 1,500 to 2,000 pounds each, also made of aluminum and wood. to fit into and form the bottom of a rubber raft 25 feet long, six feet wide, four feet deep and capable of carrying 18,000 pounds. Six skeleton kayaks will form part of the outfit, with covers detached, but ready for use in case of emergency. Each of these kayaks will be ablqto acccmmodate two men and six months" provisions. In nan Capt. Bernler will take with him 120 tame and unhorned reindeer to be utilized in carrying the provisions in far north as possible. They will be fed with about 400 pounds of moss a day, and killed one by one to feed the dogs, of which there will be 60 or 60 of the Siberian hound variety. Before going into winter quarters the balance of the reindeer will he killed to provide food for men and dogs. Old Time Surgery. Ambrose Para, a barber surgeon of the sixteenth century, tells in his notes how in 1537 he went to the long wars to get practice in surgery. He invented name new pHV‘WSGS, particularly in the treatment of amputated limbs. Up to Pare’s time the most barbarous means had been used to stop the bleed- ing. In his own words: “So soon as the limb was removed the surgeon would use many cauteries to stop the flow of blood, a thins: very horrible and cruel in the mere telling. And truly of six of these thus cruelly treated scarce two ever escaped. and even these were long lll and the wounds thus burned were slow to heal, because the burning caused such vehement pains that they fell into fever, convulsions and other mortal accidents. In mos: of them. however. when the scar fell ofi" there came fresh bleeding, which must again be stanchud with the centers lee. So that for many healing was lm- possible, and they had an ulcer to the end of their lives, which prevented them from having an artificial limb.” The idea of abolishing such cruelty by using the ligature occurred to Pare in one of his war journeys, and his success went beyond his expectations. His other discovery was made within a :lew hours of joining the army. It was believed by the surgeons of the day that there was poison in a gunshot wound, and one of the accepted authorities insisted that they must be cauterized with oil of elders scalding hot, mixed with a little treacle. The pain was intolerable. It happened that at his first treatment of a gunshot wound Pare’s oil ran short and he used instead. a digestive made of whites 02 eggs, oil of roses and turpentine. To his surprise he found next morning that the patients he had thus treated were in bet- ter condition than the others. He says: “Then I resolved never more to burn thus cruelly poor men with wounds from gunshots. ” , _ “a-“ mmmm .wm<m> 0868.8 mo“. 33 9:92.. 2mmm >420 92.. :55 2.: 0W1}. wmmmsmnn Tho Conclusion In Reached by Lord Kelvin After the Calculations of Year- â€"What He Presents in Proof of m. Statom‘antâ€"Bolation of Motion to Ago â€"-'!'he Depths of the Ocean. At last we know exactly how old the earth is, for Lord Kelvin, the eminent British savant, has, after the calculation of years, reached the definite conclusion that this terrestrial sphere has been such for 30,000,000 years. This is not the ohimerioai assertion of a theorist, but the result of long and laborious study by perhaps the man best qualified .01 all to make an authoritative statement to hu- manity. ____v' . It is of the utmost importance to geolo- gists. many of whom have doubted whether there was any data. on which a definite calculation could be based. This doubt Lord Kelvin has removed. and he gives absolute events of difierent periods or the world’s history which he state! are perfectly susceptible to proof auflicient to satisfy the most carping critic. Lord Kelvin recently issued a formal statement in the matter which outline! his belief and the reasons therefor. In support of his statement that there must have been a. definite beginning of the world just as surely as there ‘wiil be a definite and, he referred to his refutation of the doctrine of uniformity in geology. with its accompanying proof that 11’ heat had been uniformly conducted out of the earth at its present yearly rate the globe 20,000,000 years ago would have been a molten. if not a gaseous maes. Another argument against the huge lengths of time required by the older geologists is songht from the constantly diminishing velocity ,0! the earth’s rota- tion, ow1ng to the tides. It is shown that a thousand million years ago the earth was revolving faster than at present, and consequently that the centrifugal force was greater. If the globe had become consolidated when travelling at this faster rate, it would have possessed oblatonese, and the length of its equatorial radius would have been six and a- halt kilo- metres more than at present. To judge by the properties of rocks and bv underâ€" ground temperatures, the date of the solidification of the earth was most prob- ably twenty or thirty million years ago. The origin of the atmosphere is then discussed. At the time of solidification there could have been no free oxygen, so far as can be seen, and no chemical re- action by which it would be liberated. Vegetable life and sunlight must; have come into play to prepare our atmosphere in the course of a few hundred or thou- sand years. A serious geological question is the mode of production of the ocean depths and the eminences of the continents. Many phenomena are doubtless due to strain on cooling, but that does not aflord a sufficient explanation in this case. Lord helvin thinks that cause is to be found in change of density by cystallization. Perhaps the strongest argument against unlimited geological time is afforded by consideration of the heat of the sun, which, according to the most recent re- searches and corrections, may have illu- minated the earth for somewhere about 20,000,000 years. ‘ .. A -_.j ~',vv-,-V Professbr' Foulton wanted time to find invertebrate ancestors for the vampmtei on the Cambrian rocks. and Professor Perry had attempted to relieve biologists of the burden put upon them by physic- ists, and once more. provide them with an endless “bank of time” on which to draw. But the latest geological estimate or the time required for the formation of all struts since the beginning of the rocks was 17,000,000 years. and he can scarcely be described as merely a. mali- cious physicist trying to curb the aspira- tions of the biologists, when he says that this earth could not have been a habit able globe for more than 30.000,000 years. For the Cyclist. A wheel with a rigid frame is the cyclist’s firm friend. Good bécyclo brakes may be reckoned among our coast defences. Motor cycles at $30 each are said to be in great demand in Paris. The poorest cyclist is the one who occupies tihc other scan on the tandem. ’I‘frycicles are said to be again popu- lnr in the vicinity of I‘ldinbnrgh.
