(Continued from last week) We left our readers last week at Halifax. Halifax has in combination an interesting historical past and a present outstanding importance as the site of one of the three or four! greatest harbors in the world. l'n-w like many others, its harbor was not created by the erosion of rivers and streams. Its origin. so geologists in- form us. was a deep depression which took place in the earth‘s crust along this coast in the dim and dist- ant past. As a matter of fact there are three harbors in one. the elevat- ed peninsula Upon which Halifax is situated being almost surronndml by its adjacent waters. The main har- bor. on which fronts the twist im- portant of its oloeks. is in itself capa- ble of affording anchorage for an en- ormous fleet of wean-going steam- ers. while further inland is the rum- ous Redford basin with a wircumt'er- ence of twenty miles. Running for a Ilistancv nt’ ttll't't‘ mitcs np Ih» spaward sin» nf the city is a narrow finrd knuwn as tho Nm-thwnst Arm, 1! shurt IlistaIIcI- to the cntrancc tn which was uncc III- cated a famuus I-htxin hattm'y with a‘ boom stretched t'rum hank to bank for thc pnrpnso- nt‘ km-ping nut Frcnch warships.

On the Dart-k mouth side of the harbor is located a large oil refinery, whose plant covers some 50 acres. and when completed will entail an exnenditnre of $12,000,- 000. The crude. oil is brought from Mexico right to the plant in tank steamers. Here also is a mammoth sugar refinery. with a daily capacity of l.800 barrels. The Dominion Gov- ernment Census of 1917 gave the pro- duct of the factories of Halifax a walue of about $15,247,469, figures 'which must necessarily be below the {present annual output, there having lsinrc then been a substantial expan- ision in the industrial life 01' the city.

Point Pleasant Park and the Public Gardens are two points within the city of Halifax that no tourist who has an eye. for the picturesque and the beautiful should fail to visit. That part of Halifax which was destroyed in 1917 by the explosion which occurred on board one of the munition ships enroute to Europe, resulting in the loss of over 1,000 lives, has been almost completely restored. ‘ Leaving Halifax far 'l‘ruro by the main line of the Canadian National Railways. the traveller encircles the city, passing close to the Northwest Arm at Armdale. At Buckingham the shores of Bedford Basin are reached. along which the train speeds for its total length. finally ar-l riving at \Vindsm' Junction. a few miles beyond. An interesting fea- ture about Windsor Junction is a mass of enormous rocks which have the appearance of having been split by the hammers ot' Titans. "Noah ’must have thrown his ballast, over- liltlal‘ti here." remarked the famous American pOet. Joaquin Miller, when his eyes rested on the scene. Prob- :ihly nothing just like it is to he found on the continent.

'lmuesday afternoon in the cricket match between married and single men, the single fellows won out by three runs. Just as we go to press we learn with regret of the loss by lightning of the tine barn and contents of Mr. Abraham Grutchley, .3, mile and a half east of town. The barn was built only about a year ago.

Dominie Graham feels proud of the result. It wasn’t through evil design, mal- iee aforethought or a desire to “for- get some things" that we omitted to say that a boy arrived at the home of Ed. Kress and a girl at Dr. Holt’s. The latter was burn the. ‘day after the cricket match with \Warton and the doctor never missed an inning. A few days ago Rev. '1‘. H.
