He represented himself as sell- ing an attractive group insurance pro- position. He got in to see the faCtory men at their work and by a line of talk asked them to join his five hundred club of group insured men. He flour- ished a paper on which he asked sig- natures “without obligation” so that he could make up his list. The men, he said, would pay later in small instal- ments. Meantime he simply asked for their names. - .- 7 _4_ .1-- m-- However the top of the paper was 1 turned underneath and on this was an 1 obligation that those signing agreed to have the nine dollars for the insur- ance taken out of their pay. The order was accepted at the factory oflice and the man dashed down town, casn- ed his cheque for $81 and left town turriedly without paying his hotel bill. Word was sent to nearby towns in an attempt to stop the fast working agent. Later word was received that the iman whose name is Murray was the representative of a Winnipeg concern \which had been trying to get in touch with him. The provincial police have been consulted.â€"â€"Meaford Mirror. Peddlers Must Pay LicenSQ Elmira was provided by the Town Council at its last meeting when it passed a new by-law regulating the . activities of hawkers and peddlers in the municipality. The Peddler nui- sance has been growing of late and the Council was a unit in believmg that it was decidedly unfair to allow non-re- sidents to ply their trade in town while escaping taxation. The license fees should help line the civ1c treasury' while providing a check on the grow- .ing influence of intinerant peddlers. i The bylaw provides that no persons shall come into town from outside and . A ! engage in hawking. peddling, etc..‘ 1 gwithout first procuring a license and {paying a fee to a police officer or the itreasurer. For a person travelling 011.1 .foot and selling from hand or pack the {fee was set at 820. Any person noz a ‘resident using a horse or motor vehicle shall be required to pay a tee of $40. A hawker of medicine only will be 'taxed 525 while a peddler of fish will. ‘only have to pay $2.00. Agents for persons not residing in Waterloo County selling tea, coiIee. ispices, baking powder, dry goods. .watches, silverwear, furniture, rugs. carpets. millinery, spectacles, etc., or showing samples and later delivering goods to anyone not a wholesale or reâ€" tail dealer will be taxed $25 for a year's license.

Those Whicn occurred in 1884 and 1885, following the Kra- katoa eruptions, are still well remem- bered by everybody who was then old enough to notice them. One effect of the layer of volcanic dust high in the air is to take away the blue rays 01 sunlight, so that the sun looks red or orange, especially when it is rising or setting, and thus shining through a greater thickness of air. -, LL _ ALAnnn ”A ant?

The distinguished American meteorol- ogist, Dr. W. J. Humphreys, of the Weather Bureau, in his book “Physics of the Air” presents a curve of the world’s temperatures back to 1750, showing how the great, dust-scattering volcanic explosions were followed in .almost every instance by world-wide 'periods of unusually low temperature. ‘shall pay a. tee of $1 per dayâ€"Elmira WA 1WD vb “It. “w “wâ€"u-J _ _ _ “ he explosion of Krakatoa behaved as theory would suggest.

But that it constitutes one of them, the writer says, is no longer doubtful. If the dust haze from Roxa- tinda proves as thick and World-wide as advance reports lead one to ex- pect. he is certain that the volcanic overcoat will be tried this year. He U “Several months will be required, of course, for the dust to spread as far as EurOpe, or the United States.

"The thin, bubblelike nature of the dust particles explains wny they re- main so long in the air. It was four years before the dust of Kraxatoa was entirely gone. Calculations show that the slivers of volcanic dust fall only a few feet a second. even in still air. Once shot twenty or thirty miles high, natural movements of the air currents are enough to keep the particles float- ing for many years. ‘ It is probably fortunate for man’s “comfort on earth that the greatest {volcanoes of the earth’s history really lare extinct.
