Hoarfrost is defined in some school- books as frozen dew, Sometimes it ac- tually does consist of congealed dew drops, but as a rule it is produced by the direct condensation in solid form of the gaseous moisture in the atmos- phere. The ice crystals of which it is composed assume a great variety of shapes, hundreds of which have been drawn and photographed with the aid of the microscope. Ho'arfrost occurs not only on out- door objects, after a clear frosty night, but also indoors on window panes, re- frigerating pipes, and other cold sur- faces. Not all the socalled frost figures seen on window panes, however, are due to hoarfrost. Many, including the long feather or fern-like forms, result from the freezing of a thin film of water on the pane, and have sometimes been dptingumhed as “window-ice.” Some of the most beautiful deposits of true hoarfrost are found on the surface ice of lakes and streams and glaciers. They are known as “ice-flow- ers.” Hoarfrost should not be confused with the rought or feathery coating of ice deposited on terrestrial objects in cold weather by drifting fog. This is now termed “time” by meteorologists. Let sleeping dogs lie ‘tis truly said, Life without a friend is as good as dead. Make hay when the sun shines, Misfortunes often cling like vines.

As this figure is arrived at from an average of twelve years’ results it is of more than ordinary interest. The number of eggs required to pay the cost of feed per bird varies, of course, with prevailing market prices from year to year. ‘uu'ring the period of the report it has ranged from as low as 50 eggs in 1922 to a peak of 69 in 1928, while it took 51 to pay the cost of feed in 1931. It is interesting to note that the same cost study shows that an average of 15 eggs is suffic- ient to pay the cost of feed per bird during the winter months only. “Well suh, Mistah Manager,” was the reply, “3 dollah and fo’ bits it uh eats mahself, and a dollah if yo’ eats “What; do you charge a day?” re- quested the manager. not only sells at par but is worth more .

Information received at the ofiices of the Canadian National Steamships whose West Indies liners provide a regular passenger and freight service between the Dominion and the colonies in the Caribbean Sea, state that the Canadian dollar is worth $138 During the past months the dollar has always been well above par and at one time ivas bought as high as $1.31. Its usual value, however, ranges between $1.23 and $1.28. This is welcome news when it is considered that in United tates' funds the Canadian dollar was recently quoted at a discount of 14 4-8 cents.
