Canada, he said," was fortunate to possess besides true British character- istics French blood, traditions and in- stitutions. After a reference to the Battle of Hastings, Lord Willingdon said that it was peculiarly appropriate that Hastings should return to Can- ada the escutcheon, recalling that British and Canadian troops fought alongside the French for civilization.

A number of these rural power districts have been operat. ing since 1920, and in many of them rate adjustments have been made from time to time. ert miei Cheaper Money Lures British Vacationists from Own Isle A despatch from London say8:-- Britons, like Americans, are getting more $nd more in the habit of taking their holidays on the Continent, not so much because they are bored with their own green island; but because the pound is the pound, while neither the franc nor the lira looks anything like its pre-war self, Last week 25,000 passports were issued by the British Government, and for several weeks the daily average has approximated 8,000, 75 per cent. of them being for Continental travel.

' Natural Resources Bulletin. - The Natural Resources Intelligence Service of the Dept. of the Interior at Ottawa eays: " The fruit season is now upon us, and berries, cherries, peaches, plums, early "apples, etc., are coming onto = the market in tremendous quantities, and in a variety of containers, boxes, baskets, crates and barrels, with many shapes and sizes of each. * Some conception of the quantities: requiréd for a season' fruit handling: is given in a report by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics for 1922. In that year there were 14,906,802 berry boxes made, together with 18,830,021 bas- kets and 1,025,175 crates. Between seasons practically all*this enormous number of containers has disappeared, and a new supply is re- quired. True, they are very frail, be- ing made for temporary use only, and in order to produce the most attrac- tive and saleable fruit new containers Are Necessary. The interdependence of industries is very clearly shown in the relation of the fruit grower to the forest. Practically all the containers used are thé' product of the forest, whether they be of wood or paper. In the manu- : facture of boxes, baskets and crates : in 1922 there were used 96,560,000 : board feet of softwood, 14,162,000 3 board feet of hardwood, and 7,000,000 feet of veneer. st--i------ An Inverted Rainbow Sight for Londoners. : «A sclentific correspondent has coms" municated to the London Dally Mail details of @ phenomenon witnessed in the sky. at Dulwich, *8.H., just after 6. 80 one evening recently, . . At 'that hour filmy clouds «ppoared | ay across the sky and gradually a section a of a rainbow appeared about 20 des grees from the zenith, and thus almost directly overhead. wh The curve of the rainbow was re- versed, the outer side of the arc inm- stead of 'the inner side, which is usual, being towards the sun. The outer side was colored red and the Inner side violet. At the time this unusual seo tion of the rainbow was observed. sun was 26 degrees from the horizon. Usudlly when a rainbow is seen the observer stands between the sun and the arc in the heavens. In this case the position was altered, for the tion of arc observed was almost ov: head and between the observer and the sun. H E; In fps Old Sarum.
