A despatch from Paris says: --In a cold; draughty.barn on a back street of Paris twenty-five years ago Pierre and Marie Curie, poor and unknown, discovered radium. To-day that event was commemorated in a grandiose; celebration at the Sorbonne, with the President of the Republic and a dozen other public dignitaries participating, and paying homage to the modest wo- man scientist. But. Mme. Curie did not let those who had gathered to honor her forget how they had once neglected her. She told of the barn that served as labor- atory for her and her husband, of the loose planks that let in wind and rain, of 'the small cast iron stove that failed to warm the place even when they had fuel enough to feed it. an average of six hundred trees to each car, left Wiarton last month for the city of Pittsburg, these costing the dealer a total of about ten thousand: dollars; Many of the trees shipped] stood as high as fifteen feet, and would be retailed for as much as twenty dollars in the city mentioned. The eastern side of the Bruce Pen- insula has scarcely any coniferous trees, and those on the wooded west- ern side are required for. windbreaks. A movement is at present on foot by! members of the County Council to ask the Government to formulate a policy to regulate this tree-destroying men- ace in the future, and to insist on the protection of the young timber and the reforestation of the areas not fit for cultivation. It is understood that invitations are being sent to the Re- forestation Department asking for a representative to be sent to the Jan- uary session of the County Council to explain what steps the Government are prepared to take in this matter. | £ ie FG | Bag THE FORTUNES' Arthur Henderson, the famous Brit! the British election, with his two sons.

These marsh lands extenid around the head of the Bay of Fundy, in Cumberland, Colchester, Hants, Kings and Annapolis counties of Nova Scotia, and in Westmorland and Albert counties of New Bruns- wick. While the term marsh lands is applied to these low lying areas, they are far from being what the name implies. Looking at them from an eminence they bear the appearance of great flat stretches of prairie lands or meadows, covered with rich grass, while almost as far as the eye can reach innumerable hay-barns and hay- stacks dot the landscape. The marshes have been brought into existence by the extraordinary power of the tide of the Bay of Fundy.| where there is sometimes a difference | of sixty feet between the level of the water at high and low tide. Large areas were therefore subjected to in-' undation at periods:of high tide. The| in the marshes after haying excellent 9 forage for their cattle. No fertilizers of any kind are used upon the marsh land, and the only cultivation consists in an occasional plowing, on an avers age once in ten or fifteen years, when a single crop of oats is sown, followed at once by grass. ' y An extensive market exists for the hay grown on the Bay of Fundy marshes, and at good prices. Large quantities are shipped to the Wet Indies, Newfoundland, Boston and other New England cities. During the war enormous quantities were supplied to Great Britain and France. To the inland Canadian, unused to the ocean tides, 'these dyked lands or hay marshes present a fascinating ap- pearance. Accustomed as they are to but slight variations in the shore-line of lakes and rivers, it is hard to realize that but for the dykes these large areas would at high tide be covered with water.
