When a blind person is conâ€" vinced through ignorance that blind people are incapable of working with their hands it is extremely difficult for a sighted person to prove otherâ€" wise. The invariable answer to a vouldâ€"be sighted instructor is, "You in do that with sight, but it is imâ€" vossible for me without sight." With blind instructor, however, their ry presence gives confidence to the ‘ ind people. For this reason, the o=t capable blind people have been hc.en in nearly every instance to â€"â€"v on this home teaching work.

"HOPE" is our watchword and our motto is "Help Them to Help Themselves," This may be a levelâ€"headed, comâ€" monâ€"sense statement, but it is a very uninspiring doctrine to preach to young men, or to men or women of any age. The truth is that it is possible for all of us to be one hundred per cent. more efficient, more successful, better developedall round than we are toâ€"day. But as long as we hold the idea that we can‘t be anything out of common, we can‘t. High Ideals. ‘"We can‘t all be extraordinary," a speaker said recently, addressing a gathering of young men.

Written in 1865, it never has lost its hold on the hearts of men battling for ideals. In the world war bands played the hymn while the youth of the warâ€" ring nations rushed to the colors, and in the camps of armed men there rose the strain: So great and universal is its appeal that it belongs to no sect, or no raceâ€" it has become the heritage of civilizaâ€" tion, rather than exclusively the rallyâ€" ing cry of the Christian church. his home in England, his prolific pen was stilled, but, of his many works in poetry and prose, the Christian church will keep immortal, through countless generations yet unborn, that stirring, martial, devotional song, and his name will live as millions sing "With the Cross of Jesus going on beâ€" fore."

It is made of steel, and is in eight sections for transportaâ€" tion purposes. _ The actual map is painted on to the steel in permanent colors, with all the rivers, lakes, cities, transportation lines, boundaries and territories marked in the usual way. In addition, every natural resource and product of the Dominion is clearly marked in the locality where they are found. Everything there is to know about the wealth of Canada is recordâ€" But the unique feature of the map is that every spot where a certain naâ€" tural product is found or an industry STEAMING COLD. A steaming radiator in bitter cold weather is a paradox many car ownâ€" ers have met. All parts of the car are apparently in good working order. The owner starts on a trip on a cold day, and after running a while finds that the radiator is steaming. He knows that the radiator is full of water and by lifting up the hood finds the fan belt working all right. Why then the steaming? Remarkable and Comprehensive Plan to Show Resources of Dominion. When the British Empire Exhibition opens in London next April Canada will indeed be "put on the map." There has just been completed in Ottawa one of the largest and most illuminatâ€" ing maps of this Dominion ever made. It will tell in a flash everything there is about the natural resources and physical features of this country, and tell it in a way that no map has ever told it before. It seems unreasonable that the boilâ€" ing in the radiator is due to the cold weather. But it is a fact. The water in the radiator moves downward. The hot water is on top and as the water moves toward the bottom it is cooled. In extremely cold weather it is cooled zo much that by the time it reaches the bottom of the radiator it has turnâ€" ed into a sort of slush. This will not circulate either by the thermoâ€"siphon system, such as the flivvers use, or by the pump system. With the suppl of water cut off from the engine cy{ inders the water in the jackets beâ€" comes hotter and hotter and finally starts to boil. The condition can be told by putting the hand on the radiâ€" ator. At the top it is hot and at the bottom quite cold. * Quite soon the slush will freeze solid and then the radiator will be damagâ€" ed. The quickest way to stop the steaming, when it is first noticed, is to cover the radiator with a blanket and let the engine run idle until the bottom of the radiator thaws out. Then some covering must be put on the bottom of the radiator to stop it from freezing again. Many forms of radiator covers are used for this purpose. A very effecâ€" tive one can be made out of a piece of cardboard, which is fastened to the radiator by fine copper wires run through it. The cardboard should be on the bottom of the radiator and, of ENORMOUS MAP FOR EMPRE EXEBITION | AN" FOR GoOODPNESS SAKE , ~â€"~ Qgg_p STILL TILL 1 FiniSH ~~â€"=m HH(S â€" PAPEKRy, W .~_ _ :.; .

"Well, sir," was the reply, "! knew it was somebody with a dog‘s name." This wonderful map will undoubtedâ€" ly be one of the sights of the Empire Exhibition, but it will also be used in other parts of the world, for it is built on permanent lines. Why do people name dogs of which they are fond for such a desperate creature as Nero? We don‘t kn w, but like the boy of whom the Los Angeles Times tells we must accept the fact. These are illuminated by an intriâ€" cate system of wiring. But they can be lighted separately. If a visitor wants to know where gold is found in Canada, the official in charge of the map will simply press a button and every place where gold is found will be illuminated, and none others. Simiâ€" larly if he wants to see where wheat is raised, where textiles are manufacâ€" tured, or where timber is found, the distinguishing lights will be switched on. _ At each side of the map an il luminated index will be placed, on which the key color of each resource or industry will be given, On the opâ€" posite side of the map will be an indiâ€" cator which will reveal the statistics conprected with any particular product.

Modern automobile engines are made to run with hot water in the cooling system. If it is cold the temperature of the engine is too low, the gasoline will not vaporize as it should, and some of the unburned fuel will work down into the crank case. Cover up the radiator enough to keep the engine warm at all times. The efficiency of a storage battery depends much on how easily the curâ€" rent can flow in or out, and if we alâ€" low dirty or corroded terminals to obstruct this flow it naturally follows that it will greatly reduce the effiâ€" ciency of both the battery and of the course, on the outside. The space to be left open to the air depends upon the car and on the weather. In very cold weather only a little of the radiâ€" ator need be open. The open space snould go all the way across the radiâ€" ator at the top. But a square hole in the centre of the cover may allow a few tubes to freeze while the rest are hot. BATTERY EFFICIENCY. It is a good practice occasionally to clean up the terminals of a car‘s storage battery with a solution made of a teaspoonful of baking soda disâ€" solved in a cupful of water. This will wash off the acid and cut the corroâ€" sion, making the terminals last longâ€" ér. However, use extreme care that none of the soda gets inside of the battery. <After carefully tightening the terminals smear them with a small amount of petrolatum, which wards off the corrosive effects of the acid that seems to work out of all storage batteries, spreading in a sort of film over everything.

When the plans for its reconstrucâ€" tion were announced many sought to have it replaced by a tower of another design. The opinion of the great writer was successfully used as an arâ€" gument agrinst this scheme. The buibousâ€"shaped tower was conâ€" structed in the sixteenth century. Vicâ€" tor Hugo compared it to a gigantic watering pot and spoke of how much character it possessed and bhow well it appeared in its frame of gigantic rocks surrounding it.

Ruskin eays, "P There was a total of 1,101,556 pelts of wild animals taken in Ontario in the season 1921â€"22, valued at $4,959,492. The total for Canada in the same year was 4,366,790, valued at $17,â€" 438,867. A great danger exists that the intensive trapping of wild life may seriously deplete many species, as apart from the inroads made by man, each aniâ€" mal class has its own enemies, which naturally keep its inferâ€" iors within a safe range of mulâ€" tiplication. The takings of furâ€" bearers, therefore, must be kept within reasonable limits, by the observance of game laws based upon accurate information of the rate of increase. The Hudâ€" son‘s Bay Co. has kept records of their fur trade since 1821, and these show very wide flueâ€" tuations in the number of difâ€" ferent species tuken, the inâ€" crease and decrease occurring in regular cycles. Beaver and muskrat repreâ€" sent the highest total value of the pelts now taken, a report by the Bureau of Statistics for 1921â€"22 giving the former as $1,â€" 861,479 for the 111,165 beaver pelts and $1,088%,589 for the €16,890 muskrat skins marketâ€" The history of the fur trade is closely associated with the early history of Canada. It was the quest for fur that led the early explorers over a large porâ€" tion of Ontario, and particularâ€" ly that portion which is now known as Northern Ontario. While the wild life is gradually being driven further back with the advance of settlement, there is still considerable trapping done in the forests and on the rivers, lakes and streams of older Ontario. ed ‘The Natural Resources Intelâ€" ligence Service of the Departâ€" ment of the Interior at Ottawa Natural Resources Kingdom of Jewels. ‘exandria, Prolemy a magnificent goid ven with his por fighted Nero, it is ald through which iting gladiators of ntead, still carries i passing fasKion. sappbires | attract Teciing. ig them loath to prétiou m rd b: th Wh en stone. lece of ir high suppleâ€" W * ms At be «lt 6. t} New Record Set of Can 80 two The fav me!
