Many people suppose that moonlight W great potency and has a won- derful influence on or over animate and inanimate things on our planet. Such persons should remember that moonlight is only reflected sunlight and that the quality and quantity of the light thus reflected are not what is generally imagined. In fact, it is a truth which has often been demonstrato ed by the speculative astronomers that it would take 618.000 full moons to aflord an amount of light equal to that emitted by the sun. and, furthermore, there is only sky space for 75,000 such disks. Some heat comes from moon- light. However, it is in quantities so small that it cannot be measured by ordinary instruments. Flammarion says that the amount of heat emitted by a full moon while at its zenith can- not be more than one eighty-thou- sandth of the amount that the sun sup- plies when standing on the meridian on a favorable day in July. Such be ing the case, it is really surprising that intelligent people should consider that the moon has such a wonderful “influence" over terrestrial affairs. The Rhinoceros Bird. Among the birds not commonly found is the rhinoceros bird. from the Trans. vaal. Butte} pikker is its Dutch name. Its habits are remarkable and its plum- age unusual. Small flocks accompany most of the large antelopes. the buffa- loes and the rhinoceroses in South At- rica and run all over the creatures’ bodies, picking of! flies and insects. When an enemy approaches the buflel pikkers sit in a line with heads raised on the back of the animal they are at- tending, like sparrows on a roof ridge, and signal “the enemy in sight.” The plumage is curiously close. uniform and compact. so much so that the bird has an artificial look. as it covered with painted satin and not with feathers. The general tint of the body is cinna- mon brown, with yellow beak and legs, giving the color etl‘ect of a brown and yellow iris. A “Turner" Story. Very few London dealers indeed are competent to judge Turner's worksâ€" that is, without a certified history. A lady acquaintance of mine had a large picture in her house which she had al- ways regarded as a Turner, and, desir- ing to sell it, she offered it to five or six of the leading dealers, but not one of them would buy it at any price, as- serting that Turner never saw it and that it was nothing like his work, and so on. A few months afterward a doc- ument turned up among her family pa- pers showing that the picture had been specially painted by Turner for her husband’s father, and in a week she had sold the work for £2,250. The av- erage dealer is almost frightened to touch a Turner. and you Seldom or nev- er see one exposed for sale in the gal- leries. Our Foolish Alphabet. Why. think of it! We‘ve not even a reputable alphabet. The letters are all tangled up. J is J when it isn’t Y, and more than half the time Y is doing duty for I. S is sometimes Z, G is J, and poor C is always either S or K. We’ve got four distinct ways to ex- press the N soundâ€"gn, pn, kn and n; four ways to write the terminal sylla- ble “er”-â€"or. ar, or and ir; five ways to sound the letters “ough”â€"uff, awf, ow, 00 and 0.

Color and Aroma of Cones. There are two things which people imagine are guides to the goodness of coffee which are really of no conse- quence whatever. They are the color of the decoction and the aroma of the coffee when ground or as it escapes from the pot in drawing. The color is due almost entirely to the roasting. This is true also of tea. The finest coflees and teas, when properly roast- ed and prepared, to give out their finest flavors will color the water but little. The real essences which give the flavor have practically no color. A. professor at one of the Australian universities recently informed his class that “the darkest hour in the day is in the middle of the night at 3 o‘clock in the morning.” On another occasion the same professor made his apology for the intricacies of a statement by add- ing, “1 can’t give you an easier expla- nation without making it more diffiâ€" cult.” To'Make It Tender. “Waiter!” called the customer in the restaurant where an orchestra was playing. “Yes, sah.” “Kindly tell the leader of the orches- tra to play something sad and low while I dine.

Old Land Wakes Up to Importance of Canada’s Trade. The complaint has often been made. by Canadians as well as Old Country people, that while the United States and other foreign countries have. been represented in the Dominion by Con- suls and commercial agents, Great Britain has had no official trade repre- sentative in this country. The con- sequence has, undoubtedly, been that much business which otherwise might have gone to the Mother Land has been diverted to American and German firms. But John Bull has at last awak- ened to the fact that, if he wants to preserve the trade he has, or if he wants to secure additional business, he must be as up-tovdate as his competi- tors. It is officially announced that the British Board of Trade (which is a Government department, and not a combination of business men as are our Boards of Trade). has, through its ad- visory committee on commercial intel- ligence, decided to send a commission- er to Canada to investigate and report upon trade possibilities. Other com- missioners have been previously sent to South Africa, Australasia, South Am- erica. Siberia and Persia, and their la- bors have been rewarded with consid- erable success, The gentleman selected for the Canadian mission is Mr. Richard Grigg. of \Vingfleld, Stoke, Devonport, who is apparently well qualified for the position. For many years Mr. Grigg resided in Canada. and since leaving it he has maintained a close connection with the Dominion. He has also been actively associated with important manufacturing concerns in the north of England. Mr. Grigg is thus qualified both by his commercial experience and knowledge of the Dominion for the task he has undertaken. His primary duty will be to inquire into the present position and future prospects of British trade in Canada. His mission will consequently be a wide and comprehen- sive one, and it is understood that the commissioner will have a free hand to pursue his inquiries in every field of investigation likely to yield useful in- formation for the betterment of the trade between the two countries. Mr. Grigg is leaving England immediately to take up his appointment, and will probably be absent until the spring or summer of next year. In this tour through the Dominion he will cross the entire continent, and visit every place of commercial importance from Halifax to Vancouver. Pn pursuance of the new policy of the Board of Trade, correspondents will be appointed in the principal commer- cial and industrial centres of the Dom- inion. It will be their duty to keep the Board of Trade informed of the move- ments of trade in Canada, and to ad- vise British merchants and manufac- turers of the changing requirements of the Canadian market, and it may be as- sumed that the correspondents will be gentlemen specially qualified by knowi- edge and experience to give expert ad- vice to British traders, . And all my light or life grew dim. A “Lady Sleuth” on Board. The Customs Department is evident- ly very much in earnest in its determin- ation to put an end to the petty smug- gling which has been carried on over the border for many years past. A few days ago mention was made of the collection of duties on small parcels at VVlndsor and Sarnia. Now Morrlsburg sends a tale of woe regarding the pres- ence of a “lady sleuth" on the ferry between that town and Ogdensburg. . She was courtesy itself, but the women! passengers had to settle up and add! their mite to the customs revenue of, Canada. Heretofore it has been tho;1 custom of many people to walk past the i customs with anything smaller than a; house and lot, without saying good day. l Not mutual bonds of great and good. No doubt in some 'cases at least they had added to their stock of knowledge in relations to the customs laws of Can- ada. and in future they will know the road to the customs office, and this knowledge may make it pleasanter to all concerned.

It is not what Canada now is or what Canada has done, but what Canada may yet do and may yet become that give distinction and alertness to Canadian lite to-day. The interest is that of the unclouded morning of a new day; the enthusiasm is that of an eager and healthy youth; the rejoicing is that of a strong man to run a race. . As yet Canada has to its crvdit, for the most part, only a fair start, a great oppor- tunity, and a worthy ambition. After four decades of recons ruction and re- adjustment and steady progress the peOple of this half-continent of the Canadian Dominion feel, as never in the Past, the thrill and beat of a new national life. It is the virile and .13.

In its complexity is the charm and the hope of Canadian lire. Not a replica of any of the old-world na- tions, but a composite out of which a new type of national character may emerge, the Canadian type is the op- portunity and the ambition of this lat- est born among the nations. And it that Canadian type is to surâ€" vive it must stand for something more than mere bigness. says The Toronto Globe. The larger Canada must have a soul as well as a body or its decay will be certain and swift. A nation is great not because its territory is wide and its natural resources abundant. Its greatness is in those qualities which cannot be reckoned in the counting- house or stored in the granary; in the greatness of its nature, the magnaniâ€" mity or its _impulses, the integrity of its honor, and the 11 orth of its service. In the day of Canada’s recognition among the nations or the world its rank will be fixed by the courage with which it faced its difficulties, by the high pur- pose with which it’ made use of its un- paralleled and unencumbered heritage, and by the worth of its contribution to the spiritual wealth of the world. The Canadian type of character will fix the national rank of the larger Canada. Dan Dalton, a Wabash engineer, re- siding in St. Thomas, relates a. dog story that is almost beyond acceptance Yet anyone who knows Dalton will ad- mit that he is not given to exaggeration and he is regarded as a man of veracity. “I Was coming west this week with an immigrant special,” said Mr. Dalton in telling of the incident. “Between Ekfrid and Glencoe I noticed a large dog on the track. We whistled, but did not think of stopping. My atten- tion was attracted by the peculiar ac- tions of the animal. He jumped around and kept looking straight at the oncom- ing train. The next time I looked I was horrified to see a little child on the track. “We closed off steam, put on the brakes, 'but I knew that the train could not stop in time. It looked just like murder, but there was absolutely no way of avoiding an accident unless the little tot got out of the way. "The wheels were jarring and the cars were bumping under the brake pressure when we. neared the spot. I wanted to turn my head away, but I kept~my eyes glued on the dog in front of the child. That noble beast never faltered. He stood like the dumb hero that he is, although in his inferior in- telligence the dog must have been warn- ed by instinct to jump out or the way for his own safety. As true as I sat in that engine, the dog remained in front of the baby, who was standing near one rail, perhaps unconscious of danger and perhaps confident of safety in the dog‘s company. “Well, we struck the dog first, but by doing so the dog knocked the child out of harm’s way. Neither were in- jured to any extent, because we were almost stopped at the time. The dog was wild with joy when we picked up the babe and carried it off the track.’ Train Kills Toronto Zoo’s Camel. Passengers on the Canadian Pacific Railway express, coming into the city the other morning were somewhat alarmed by a quick application of the air-brakes, which brought the train to a sudden standstill on the banks of the Don. Those who ran out to discover the cause of the stOp were more surprised to find a. dead camel lying on the track. It appears that as. the train came rushing along the river the engineer saw a huge animal tearing down the track in front of the engine. The aniâ€" mal cast one frightened look behind, and let out a few links of Speed, but the express train was too fast, and in a few seconds the camel, for such it turned out to be, was 'being tossed through the air. The animal was caught on a narrow strip of track and could .get to neither side. The dead camel was the pride or the Zoo. He was formerly a working camel in southern Russia. and carried many thousand dollars of merchandise be- tween China and Russia. Mr. mederick Nicholls brought it to this city and presented it to the Riverdale Zoo. It was out for its usual stroll when the fatality occurred. With Zoo visitors the dead animal was known as “Moses.” A foreigner took out a pedlar’s license in Burk’s Falls recently, says The Ar- row, but results not coming up to his anticipations. he sought out Reeve Menzies, and showing the latter the re- ceipt for the five dollars the license cost, touchingly remarked: “I sell me not- tlngs. I no make one reda. centa. You good manâ€"you geeve me back zee mon- ey, zeé five ”dollar, eh?” But the chlet magistrate could not see the point. and laughingly told him so. Wanted His Money Back. A Dog Hero. Inconveniently Tan. The mayor of one or the commune. of Angers had ordered a gamekeeper and a butcher to take a madman named Legrand to the St. Gemines lunatic asylum. 0n the way the gamekeepe, noticed that their charge was in one of his lucid intervals and concluded that he would never consent to be handed over to the authorities. It was deeided, therefore, to make him drunk, and all three adjourned to the nearest inn, Le. grand took his liquor kindly. So did the others. And when the trio arrived at the asylum the governor could not make head or tail of their story, He therefore wired to the mayor, asking him which was the man who Was to be detained. The mayor replied Le~ grand; but the telegraphist spelled it in two words, “Le grand” (the tall one). The governor, on examining the three men, saw that one was much taller than the others, so be promptly clapped him into a strait waistcoast and sent the other two away. It was three days later before the error was discovered, Bismarck For-gave. Bismarck could forgive, but he wished to do it after proper solicita. (ion. .‘3 the beginning of the Danish war Field Marshal Wrangel, who was at the head of the Prussian troom, was exceedingly annoyed at one point to be telegraphed not to advance farther, and he returned a message telling King William that “these diplomatisti who spoil the most successful opera. tions deserve the gallows.” After that Bismarck ignored him completely, and one day they met at the king's table. where it was especially awkward to preserve a coldness. Wrangcl called everybody “du,” and presently he turned to Bismarck, who was seated. next him, and said, “My son, canst thou not forget?” “No,” was the curt reply. After a pause Wrangel began again, “My son, canst thou not for. give?” “With all my heart,” said Bis. marck, and the breach was healed. The Redwood. Redwood forests are practically un- harmed by forest fires, and it is com- mon practice for the lumbermen to fell the trees and peel the bark from them and when the dry season is on set fire to the felled timber and burn the branches and bark and other wreckage without practical injury to the saw logs, which procedure would mean dis- aster to any other wood. Redwood contains no resin or turpentine of any kind, and, owing to its great resistant qualities in severe climatic conditions, is free from cracking or decay, where Cinders might lodge and start fires. When burning, it is easily extinguished with a small quantity of water. It has the appearance of burnt cork and is harder to ignite a second time than at firstâ€"Scientific American.

The Chinese ladies have an odd kind of coiogneâ€"that is to say, they cun- stantly have upon their person a small bag of sweet smelling gum similar to that which was used by the ancient Egyptian women. Numerous costly jars recently unearthed at Pyramids contain the cosmetics and perfumes which were used by Egyptian prin- cesses, all of which bear a resemblance to those in vogue today among Chinese ladies of the highest rank. Lord Kelvin’s Bravery. Lord Kelvin once performed a daring experiment before a class of students. In the course of his lecture he said that while a voltage of 3,000 or so would be fatal to a man a voltage of some 300.- 000 would be harmless. He was going to give a practical illustration on him- self, but the students cried out, “Try it on a dog!” Lord Kelvin cast a look of reproach at his class. “Didn’t I figure it out myself?” he said quietly, as he walked to the apparatus and safely turned the tremendous voltage into himself. “No,” answered Mr. Cumrox. “I ado mire them, but I don’t envy ’em.
