The present situation, however, has again called attention to the necessity of a new residence being built for the Governor-General. Mr. Pugsle~'s ..ian of selling the present Gov- ernment House and grounds, however, does not meet with approvai.

The other Ministers of the Crown have been kept scarcely less as the Council meetings held al- most daily take a great dea! of time from their departments. The appointment of Hon. Dr. Sproule as Speaker of the House is universally He not only has to his credit a long, honorable service in the House, but he bas been a tactful mem- ber, considerate of others, and his rela- tions with his fellow members have uniformly been pleasant. No man is versed in the rules and proced- ure of Parliament, and unless all anti- cipations fail he will become one of the most popular and efficient Speakers who ever presided over the Commons. he Government will present a pow- erfal phalanx inthe next Parliament. Nearly sll the Ministers are trained de- and accomplished pariiamentari- ans, and they will have behind them a number of men no less able or well known throughout the country. Any of these would be almost lost were the Government an c'd one, and with the @pposition doing all the attacking, but with the large nomber of questionable transactions involving the Laurier Gov- ernment likely to come to light during the next session or two, private mem- bers on the Government side will be fally employed in committee and on the floor of the Honse. The present Oppo- sition will for atime at least be mainly on the defensive. Hon. W. S. Fielding, itis said, will come back to the House from Yarmouth, N.8., ing the present member elect, and Hon. Geo. P. Graham hopes to get a seat in South Renfrew.

The ; great secret of having lamps in good working order is to keep them clean Have a regular d lampa Put a folded newspaper on the table so that any stray bits of burned wick and drops of oil may fall upon it. Wash and wipe the chim- neys and shades. Now take off all loose parts of the burner, washing them in hot soap-suds and wiping with a clean soft cloth. Trim the wicks and turn them quite low. With a soft, wet cloth, well soaped, ig = the pomyens thoroughly, working th cloth as as possible more the burner, to get off every parti of the charred wick. Now fill the lis within about one inch of tho top, and wipe with a damp towel and then a dry one. Adjust all the parts and return them to thelr proper places. Whenever a new wick is required in a lamp wash and scald the burner be- fore putting in the wick. Withla student lamp, the receptacle for wuste oil, which is screwed on the bottom of the burner, should pal -- off at least once a wee Sometimes a wick will nt Be dark and dirty before it is half consumed.

COLOURS OF THE OCEAN Tt has been proved that the blue- ness of sea water is in constant ratio higher latitudes. For about 30 degrees both north and south of the equator the waters of the world's oceans are of an cxquisite azure. Beyond these latitudes the blue fades and changes to green, and in the Arctic and i. tarctic Oceans the greens are almost as vivid as the tropical blue. The extraordinary. blueness of Mediterranean has causes. Is that very few large rivers of tresh water run into this sea; the second, that the Mediterranean Is practically land-locked, and, being exposed to a powerful sun, evaporation is ,reat By actual test the waters of the Med!- terranean are heavier and more salt than those of the Atlantic. But blue and green are not the only colours observed in the world's seas and oceans. In January, 1909, a river of yellow water, three miles fae and of enormous length ed running parallel ing the Gulf Stream. It stretched from Cape Florida to Cape Hatteras, and was undoubtedly caused by some tremendous sub- marine upheaval, probably of a vol- canic nature. Again, about nine years ago, the sea turned almost black off a large portion of the California coast. The whole of Santa Cruz Bay assumed this extraordinary inky hue, and fish- ing came abruptly to an end. In this case the darkness seems been caused by millions of tiny animalcules, known as whale f The dull reddish tint which ts occa- sionally seen In the Red Sea, and which has given that sea its name, bas a similar cause. The water be- comes full of microscopic algae -- tiny weed. China's Yellow Sea !s usually sup- posed to owe its origin to the flood of muddy water which its great river pours into it. But here again modern science has proved that living organ- isms are responsible for its pecullar tint. Occasionally, and for some cause as yet undiscove ocean turn milkwhite. 1904, the passengers and crew of a Japanese merchant vessel steaming at night between Hong Kong and Yoko- ama rau into a snow-white sea It was an opaque, phosphorescent sur- face, bu n pure snow- white, ja ae a dazzling effect upon the eyes.
