"Although nearly a mile in width and 400 feet in length, the grandeur of their proportions is eclipsed by the sudden disappearance of the river, as it plunges into a narrow, rocky fissure extending across its entire width. Only at a single central point is there a breach in this fssure through which the Falls can be seen and appreciated in their full proportions, where the converging waters rush madly to the zigzag canyon below. So restricted is this view that there is an entire abâ€" sence of that aweâ€"inspiring and alâ€" most paralyzing effect which strikes "Each moment increased the beauty and vividness of the scene.

"While Niagara Falls will continue to hold its own as a mecca for honey. mooners and other travelers it must henceforth submit to comparison with another natural wonder, the Victoria Falls of the Zambesi, as Africa "beâ€" comes frequented by tourists," says a recent writer. "From being a place of mystery, so fcared that Livingstone, who discoverâ€" ed the falls in 1855, had great diffiâ€" culty in persuading his followers to acâ€" company him, the falls now is visible ‘rom a railway that crosses that river hall a mile below, and lie under the proposed route of the Cape to Cairo icrial service which is to be estabâ€" ished this autumn." ; Louis Livingston Seaman describes i visit to Victoria Falls and contrasts hem with Niagara, as follows: Our approach was made by rail rom the Indian Ocean at Beira, near he mouth of the Zambesi (that hotbed ( microâ€"organisms, _ described by fam B:ryce as the most deadly in \{rica), and across the narrew belt of wamp up the gradual slope of the olcanic plateau that forms the real itinent of Africa.

Hence the old saying common amongst the inhabitants of the Holy Land, which runs: "When the waters of the Nile flow into Palestine the Turk will be ousted from Jerusalem." As geography tells us this is imposâ€" sible, it is interesting to know it actâ€" ually did happen.: What seemed imâ€" possible was effected by the Engineers of the Egyptian Expeditionary Force. After overcoming great difficulties, they succeeded in laying a large water pipe across the bed of the Suez Canal near Kantara. _ Through this pipe flows water from the River Nile. The water eventually finds its way through the Sinal Desert and into Palestine. Thus it came to pass .Jerusalem was taken two months after "the waters of the Nile flowed into Palestine."

Concerning them Mrs. Gaspard Daigle, Demain, Que., writes: "Baby‘s Own Tablets have been of great benefit to my little boy, who was sytferlng from constipation and indigestion.

A. Home. Every grower of vegetables should make~an effort to select some speciâ€" men vegetable plant from the crop and mark it especially for seed purâ€" poses. In England and France it is a general practice among growers and small holders to save some seed. Seed taken from the best specimens will generally give a good percentage of yield the following year. Some species of vegetable will not proâ€" duce seed in Canada as the seasons are too short and muturity cannot come to perfection, but carrot, parsâ€" nip, lettuce, peas, beans, raddish, squash, corn, marrow, pumpkin, onions, can be relied upon if the seed is selected from the first crown and not the latest seed vessels. Pillar and rambler roses should have liquid manure to encourage new growth. When singing "What is home withâ€" out a mother," it would be in place to give mother a lift in the kitchen. or work. It will keep the bowels in good order and prevent ailments due to indigestion. It produces a sleek coat. A progressive live stock owner should always have some on hand. â€"Michigan Business Farming. About three pounds a day is the everage amount prescribed for cows. Horses are fed from 2 to 6 pounds per day according to the amount of energy or work required from them. Swine benefit on % pound per day per 100 lbs. of live weight. Calves are fed from 14 to 1 cupful per day. A good molasses will please the animal and make it more fit for maxiâ€" mum production whether it be flesh Of course the handling of molasses is different from that of other feeds and for that reason a number of live stock owners refused to feed it, but those who are aware what benefits can be derived through the judicial feeding of molasses will soon find a convenient method of feeding it, and will not be without it. It would seem that the most imâ€" portant use of sugar cane molasses is in connection with the disposal of roughage on the farm. It is surely the most practicable way of making feeds palatable and digestible. The usual method is to thin the molasses with water so that it runs as freely as cream and to pour it over dry corn fodder, straw, old hay, etc. A sprinkâ€" ling can with the holes enlarged, often proves very handy. Some find it well to grind up their roughage and mix the molasses with roughage and grains. This is the best method, for, besides the grains which may be subsâ€" tituted pound for pound to that of molasses, the roughage also re/places much of the grain. First of all, it must be borne in mind that molasses may be divided into as many classes as hay. Simply to say molasses is not saying much. ‘There seems to be very little of beet molasâ€" ses used in straight form as a feed for live stock as in the case of sugar cane molasses. It seems that beet mofasâ€" ses contains too much ash, and it acts as a purgative. There is also sugar cane molasses which does not quite come up to standard of a feeding moâ€" lasses. There is the reâ€"boiled molasâ€" ses with a good deal of sugar extractâ€" ed. There is the domestic molasses with sulphur dioxide marked on barâ€" rel. It seems that the safest molasses is the original pure sugar cane molasâ€" ses. A good molasses should test 52 per cent. sugars and not over 6 per cent. ash. The flavor of the molasses is also important. It may often hapâ€" pen that the same testing molasses is not the same tasting. There is quite an interest displayed by breeders and dairymen all over this country in molasses as supplementary feed. There is no question but that its use on the farm is spreading in such proportion as to make it inâ€" teresting for our readers to know something about the feeding value of molasses, its effect on the live stock, etc. And whereas, it is desirable, in order that the attention of the public may be directed to the extent of the preventable loss of life and property from fire and the best means of conâ€" trolling it, that one day of the year And whereas, it is authoritatively estimated that at least seventyâ€"five per cent. of the fires occurring are preventable by the exercise of proper care on the part of individual citizens, and that therefore a corresponding proportion of the annuai loss from fire can be avoided; And whereas, it is desirable for the wellâ€"being of the nation that a greater regard for the sanctity of human life be inculcated; that the maâ€" terial wealth of the nation be so far as possible conserved, and that every agency which tends to needlessly disâ€" sipate or destroy human life or proâ€" perty be vigorously opposed; average annual loss of property by fire in Canada exceeds twenty million dollars, the loss for the year 1918 beâ€" ing in excess of thirty million dollars, and that there is in addition a large annual unappraised loss from forest fires which, if unchecked, threatens to greatly impair, if not to entirely desâ€" troy, our heritage of forest wealth; And whereas, there is also every year in Canada a deplorable loss of human life as a result of fire; "Fire Prevention Day" for Canada on MOLASSES IN THE RATION.

In Ontario the county unit will be used and organization along these lines is proceeding rapidly. The county canvass will centre in logical places and in this way it is hoped to reach practically every graduate and former student. Counties and local communities have the privilege of establishing a scholarâ€" ship for their own students provl&ed that a sufticient amount is raised. Every graduate and former student is to have the opportunity of contribuâ€" ting to the fund. As far as possible the canvass will be by personal solic!â€" tation. In some centres this has been started and in others it is about to be undertaken. By the latter part of October the campaign will, it is hoped, be in operation throughout the world and will have become the biggest thing of its kind ever attempted, having reâ€" gard to the extent of the field to be covered. The establishment of the scholarâ€" ships, however, will take the larger portion of the $500,000 to be secured. These will be apportioned among the different faculties for the aid of those returned soldierâ€"students and their children who are in need of help, and will be given to soldiers who were alumni and to their dependents. Loans will also be made to soldierâ€" students who could not otherwise com plete their education. The decision to use the funds in this way was reached after a thorough canvass was made throughout Canada. To perpetuate the memory of the Varsity men and women who died in defence of civilization during the Great War it is proposed to erect a Physical Memorial, and also to esâ€" tablish scholarships and a War Memorial Lectureship. A memorial tower built in architectural harmony with the surrounding buildings, conâ€" taining a beautiful chime of bells, will connect the west wing of the Univerâ€" sity of Toronto with Hart House, the magnificent new â€" gymnasium â€" and students‘ union, the centre of underâ€" graduate life in the university. Adâ€" jJoining the tower will be a memorial hall, and in it the names of all stuâ€" dents and former students who served in the war will be recorded in a worthy setting. Among the pages of Canada‘s hisâ€" tory that will tell the story of sacriâ€" fice and devotion so remarkably deâ€" monstrated by young Canadians in the World War, none will illustrate more clearly the spirit of Canada than those devoted to the sacrifices made by men and women who were formerly students at the University of Toronto. Deeds of heroism on their part are not to be recorded here, but it is well known that they played their part fearlessly and well. 5.
