The mountain streams that leap down the sides of Ben Nevis, Scotâ€" land‘s highest mountain, are to be harâ€" nessed. An area of more than 300 square miles that forms the watershed of the famous peak will be used. From the main dam a fifteenâ€"mile tunnel, 300 feet under the ground, will carry the water to the turbines that will drive the generators. It is estimated that more than six bundred million gallons of water a day flow in the streams which pour from Ben Nevis into Loch Treig and Loch Laggan. At Port William, a litâ€" tle town in the valley below the mounâ€" tain, the generating station will be built, and when the work, which is to begin during the present summer, is completed, 75,000 electrical horseâ€" power will be developed.

There is a fascination about the Canadian autumn which cannot be resisted by many, and should not be by many others. Getting into the open, if only for the day, gives one a feeling of freedom from the resâ€" traint of modern community life, and of being nearer to nature. More and more hunters are going into the open, armed, not with the shotgun, but carâ€" rying the camera, that the pleasure of secing wild life in its natural conâ€" dition shall not be terminated by the wellâ€"directed shot of one hunter but retained for future remembrance of the many. k The greatest natural resource that Canada possesses is her people, and upon hor people must depend the ultiâ€" mate development of all other natural resources. It is essential, therefore, that a hsaithy body and mind shall be maintained. This can be greatly asâ€" sisted by getting close to nature and learning to appreciate the beauties of nature as shown in the woods of Canâ€" ada in the autumn. The funniest mistake made British schcolboy has been c: with a prize in a "howler" comp organized by a London newspa Theo boy was asked to tell the And again, what is more entrancing than a day spent in the woods, in the bright sunlight descending through the thinning trees, wading through the fallen leaves, and breathing the healthâ€"giving atmosphere of the open country? What is more beautiful than the changing color of the foliage, the variegated leaves, that are gradually, but surely changing from green to red and then to yellow, passing through all the varied shades of each and then falling revelling to the ground? The brain weighs nine to ten ounces at birth. When a man is full grown his brain weight about three pounds one ounce; a woman‘s, two pounds and ten ounces.. Nails grow more rapidly than is genâ€" erally supposed. The finger nails reâ€" new themesleves in a little over four months. Hair grows at the rate of .018 inch a day, but the life of each individual hair is on an average only six years. Then it falls out. If hair never fell out and always went on growing, a woman seventy years old would have tresses â€" nearly thirtyâ€"eight feet in length. Eyelashes grow steadily, but are not lonâ€"lived. They last only four to five months, then fall out. Their growth is about oneâ€"twentfoth of an inch weekly. Boys are stronger than girls from birth to the age of eleven; then girls become superior physically up to seventeen, after which age the tables are turned again. From November to April children gain little, either in height or weight; from April to July they gain in height, but not in weight; while from July to November they put on weight, but do not grow much in heilght. Girls vcually reach their full height at or about sixteen, and their full weight at twenty; boys, as we have seen, are slower in development. Boys ahd girls grow differently. The year of greatest growth in boys is usâ€" ually the sixteenth * or seventeenth. That is to say, the weight increases most during that year. In girls the chief increase is in the fourteenth year.
