'.TTS LYE s Dim- Errd BANK OF [HOME NINETY-EIGHTII ANNUAL RE. PORT SHOWS BANK IN VERY STRONG POSITION. Exceptional interest attache: this) year to the Annual Report of Canada’s leading Bank, and the addressee deli- vered at the Annual Meeting try the President and General Manager. They afford an insight into the financial consequences of a year of war on the country generally, and into the out- look for the future, as interpreted by men who have every opportunity to judge it. Mr. H. V. Meredith, the President, pointed out that the effeet of the war on Canadian trade had been less in- furious than had been expected, and that this year's bountiful harvest may not only be expected to stimulate cur- rent trade, but to attract renewed emigration to Canada, The Annual Report shows the Bank; of Montreal in a position of unprece-g dented strength. With assets or, tao2,980,554--att increase for the; year of $28,MO,i38--it takes rank with the most powerful banking insti- _ tutions in the world. or this enor-i mous sum, no less than tr70,007,.ruaV, is in cash and liquid assets. This is) over 64 per cent. of the Bank's total; public liabilities---" ratio whose gig-i nilicance will be better understood when it is compared with 55.4 per m-nt. last year, and a little less than :30 per cent. (considered a high pro- portion in normal times) in 1913. While holding so large a proportion m the Bank's assets in liquid form .lmw not tend to large profits, it is a Mrurt'e of great strength not only to the Bank, but to the whole of Canada, .n thrve trying and difficult times. The profits for the year. however, \wro- most gratifying.

Among the many peculiar and dis- concerting plants and creatures that abound in Madagascar, probably none is more surprising and disconcerting than the any tree, so-called, which is not a tree, but a climbing plant. The following incident, quoted by Mr. James Siln'co, F.R.G.S., in "A Natural- ist in Madagascar," illustrates the painful result of contact with the ag)’. The story is told by a Mr. Montgom- cry: Walking under some trees and', pushing aside the reeds and grass, I was startled by a sudden tingling' and pricking sensation over the backs‘ of my hands and fingers. I stopped, in sudden surprise, for the pain was sen-re, and I had touched nothing ex-' eept the grass. But in another minute the pain increased, the tingling, burn- ing sensation seemed to be extending rapidly up my wrists, and I could see nothing to cause, it. As I lowered my head to look, scalding pain shot into my cars and neck, and grew worse ‘cvcry instant. Dazed and bewildered, I stood a few seconds in helplessness, ‘I'm' I could neither see nor guess at the cause of the terrible distrvss. Tl‘hcn I got back to my company with agony written plain cnough on every line of my face. of The men started up when they saw; me, crying out, "You have been stung by the agy'." Some of them led me to a seat, others rushed for water from the river, and two or three brought sand heaped up in their hands. Then they chafed me with the sand and water to take out the sting- ing hairs, which they knew mused the mischief. As they rubbed me, I feit the pain abate, and after they had ehafed me for about a quarter of an hour I was comparatively free from pain. While the men were rubbing me, I was able to discern to some ex- tent the cause of my distress. Count- less hairs, like tiny arrows, almost transparent, pointed at either end, ;and from a third to a fourth of an (inch long, had dropped on me in an (invisible shower from the 82y tree as 1 I stood under it. Before I came away ;that afternoon, very cautiously l ven- Jurnl to examine the tree at a little 'idistance, and found that the tiny ‘hairs grow outside a thickish pod or :shell, not quite so large as a small ibanana. The pods were fully ripe iiunluckily for me) just at that time, [and the light wind was scattering “heir coverings. w C Baby's Own Tablets are a gentle laxative.

( Some of the most picturesque gol- diers who are fhrhtintr in the great war are the Alpine troops of France and Italy. They have already seen much useful service in the Vosges and the Camlc Alps, and if another winter campaign is fought, they are likely to be called upon for still more difficult and important fighting. I Theirs is a life of continual 1slei Occasionally a whole corps has been) lovertaken by avalanche and swept ,away. In 1901, says a writer in the gLondon Field, there were two such accidents within a very short time. ( In one case the fourth company of the 13th Alpine Regiment, which is usually stationed at Chambery, appar- lently brought an avalanche down upon itself by the vibration that its hmarching caused. It was some time before help arrived in sufficient _ strength to dig out the men, and , IN hen they were rescued, it was found 5 that thirty were more or less injured, {and that of the thirty, twelve were '_suffering from fron/bitten feet. The numbers of the French chas- seurs alpins on war footing have not been revealed by the authorities. In times of peace there are thirty batal- lions of chasseurs a pied, stationed for the most part in the mountainous country that forms the eastern fron- tier of France. Their training among the high peaks has made them as familiar with ski and rope as with the rifle. In the other case, a detachment of? the 97th Regiment was on its way to revictral the mountain post on the Col de Frejus (8,200 feet), on the Italian frontier, above the Mont Cenis tunnel, when an avalanche swept down, burying a sergeant and ten men, of whom only five made good their escape. They were roped to- gether, but in two groups, and when the mass of snow and ice struck them, both parties were swept along, "he one to death, and the other down the mountain side until a telegraph ‘post intercepted the rope and saved their lives.

Some years ago it was proposed to establish a chin of British wireless stations round the world, but it was not done. The Germans did, and the result is in- terestintt. Seeing that Germany spent two mil.. lions on her colonial wireless stations, moat of which have been seized or de- stroyed, her money might appear to have been ill-spent. But was it'? Great Britain declared war on Ger. many at midnight on August 4, 1914. Seven hours earlier, at tive o'clock in the afternoon, Germany sent out a message to all its wireless stations. Each station had a radius of 2,000 miles, and each in turn flung this mes- sage forth to German ships out at sea, "War declared on England. Make as quickly as you can for a neutral port." Only fourteen words, and fewer still in code, but it was enough to save Germany the bulk of her mer- chant fleet, The ships saved were an enormous number. Giant German liners crowd Ameri- can ports, and other ships dot the har- bors of every neutral coast. There they are safe till the end of the war. How to Save Your Eyes Do your eyes give you lrouble?
