The Ger, mania, which was captured at Cowes at the outbreak of the war, was the property of Lieut. Dr. Gustav von Bohlen und Halbach, head of the Krupp works.

Ottawa says: With the object of determining the, possibilities of production of heavy) guns in Canada, Sir Frederick Don-; aldson and Gen.

They are, new concluding an inspection visit to? the plants of the Dominion Iron and Steel Co., the Nova Scotia Steel Co.,) and similar industries in the Maritimel Provinces, after which they will visit) Montreal, Toronto and other cities. f It is learned that the establishment; of an arsenal for the production off such cannon by the Dominion (h.overp-) ment itself would be acceptable to the i, British War Office. l ' British Agents Look Into the, Possi- T _.-:" bilities of Making Big Guns. me If the Rev. Ernest Houghton has devised a plan which will not only as- sure' the maimed hero a wife but will also deal in an acceptable manner with the pressing problem of support which is sure to come to the front _ after the first brief period of patriotic exaltation, he is indeed a man of real talents. T But a bright idea which ends "r' At the altar and forgets the larder is Nittle too impracticable to confer great increase of fame on its orig- inator. q When the Kaiser made his now famous pilgrimage in 1898, and left a statue of himself in the likeness of a Crusader on the Mount of Olives, it Was expected that after a few years in the "reversed crusade" the alli- ance of Giaour and Moslem would give the Turks license for gun play amid the treasured relics of the life of Christ on earth. But if the sanc- tity of an oath, and the right of the human soul to its own unprofaned holy of holies is disregarded, who can expect that the mailed fist now raised against Christendom will halt at the] door of Christ's tomb? . That war respects places as little as persons is the moral of the appar- ently trustworthy report from the Holy Land of target practice on Gol- gotha and Cavalry bv the Turks. Years ago not a few persons resented the railway from Jaffa to Jerusalem as a commercial intrusion on regions of sacred association; but what is to be said when the walls of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre tremble with the concussion of high explosives? Leaving this slightly obscure argt2- ment in favor of the plan untouched, we may point out the fatal weakness of this as well as of most other beno- volent plans to "cause people to get married on a large scale. The plans do not go beyond the altar. They seem to go on the theory that when the ceremony is performed the whole problem is solved. They take for _.granted‘ that the happy pair will live ever after, undisturbed by such petty considerations as food, clothing, shel-, ter and the like. l The Rev. Ernest Houghton of Bris- til, England, has made an appeal to patriotic women of the nation to come forward and marry the maimed heroes of the war and devote their lives to ameliorating their sad eondi- tion. He contends that unions thus arranged "promise a greater degree of happiness than is customary from the methods in England because they are based upon a high degree of un- selfishness."

An excel- lent substitute is made by beating the white of an egg to a stiff froth, add- ing a ripe banana cut into very thin slices and beating until the banana is only a pulp evenly distributed through the egg.

The coarse elements in grain are those beneficial to health. And these elements are, therefore, almost entire, ly absent in fine flour and the conse- quence is starvation of the teeth and bony structure of the body. Those elements of the grain which go to make bone, teeth and brain are largely removed by boiling, and the lime and phosphorous which nature has placed next the inner surface of the bran are mostly removed with the latter by bolting. This process of bolting is separating the coarser from' the finer particles by sifting. By the chemical changes which take place in the sugar alcohol and car- bonic acid gas form 10 or 15 per cent.

So-called civilization has, to a great extent, to do with the mind and not the heart. The world grows in knowl- edge, in power over nature, in scien- tifie use of nature’s forces for man's purposes. But if the purposes be evil the knowledge only increases the power for evil. Religion aims at teaching men that God is their Creator and Father, and, There is an intimate connection be- tween true religion and world peace. Religion seeks to convert the human heart. It aspires to turn the natural man into the spiritual man. The law of nature is the law of strife. And the law of the spirit, when it shall triumph and be written in men's hearts, will be the law of peace. The process must necessarily be slow. But slow as it is " "And many people shall go and say, {Come ye and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of ‘the God of Jacob, and He will teach us of His ways and we will walk in lHis paths . . . and they shall beat ltheir swords into ploughshares and {their spears into pruning hooks.
