Ar auto with shabby fenders looks like a man with wornâ€"out shoes, dirty and unpressed cothing, or without a collar and tie. Auto fenders become ugly through neglect. They receive seratches and bumps, get out of shape, and become full of holes because of rust. It is not unusual to see auto fenders rusted through. Rust usualy begins its work underâ€" neath. Flying stone and gravel, cakedl mud and vibration all serve to remove the paint or enamel. The oxidization of the metal, or rust, sets in at once. The unobserving man does not know about this destructive work until all of the metal is eaten away from the TAKE CARE OF AUTO FENDERS Building Paised from mon Clay. ible Los Angeles, cli rbins from which he ible The Automobile PC TY a bake a} & iced in the kiln im built up.

ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO | _ Years passed, and the snow had all melted, the debris had been cleared away, and anotlfer and largor village was built on the same spot. Here the people lived in peace and safety, and _had perhaps quite forgotten the first idisaster, when suddenly, one afterâ€" _noon, in 1819, another avalanche of ice and snow from the same mountain came down upon them, burying one hundred _ and elghteen houses, _ toâ€" gether with many people. The house of the village pastor stood a little apart from the others, and so escaped destruction; but such an enormous quantity of snow was lodged in his garden that it did not entirely disapâ€" pear till two years later. Returning now to the region of ine Canadianâ€"Australian liner * from England to Australia, via Calife ing through the Panama Canal. She of the journey. Another example, not so destrucâ€" tive to life and property, but more striking, from its having twice hapâ€" pened in the same place, may be noâ€" ticed in the valley which leads to the village of Zermatt. Here, in 1737, a little town of one hundred and forty houses was completely destroyed by an avalanche of snow from the Weisâ€" horn Mountain. |_ _ The village of Plurs must have been very pleasant for situation, for in front of it a mountain torrent kept up its unceasing roar, while at a litâ€" tle distance in the background rose the high clifis of Montb Conto. It must have been a prosperous town, too, for early in the seventeenth cenâ€" tury it sheltered a population of twenâ€" tyâ€"four hundred and thirty souls. In the autumn of 1618 it was noticed that l masses of earth and rock fell with unâ€" usual frequency, and a number of fisâ€" f sures were seen to form and widen in !the mountain. But the people, disreâ€" | garding these admonitions, continued their usual pursuits till one night a | terrific landslide buried â€" them and | their possessions beneath a pile of \debris more than sixty feet deep. So utter was the destruction that no attempt has ever been made at excaâ€" vation, and the spot is now covered with a beautiful grove of chestnut trees, among whose branches the nimble squirrels play, and at the foot of which boys and girls now search for nuts. On the road from the Italian lakes into Switzerland by the great Maloja Pass ore sees the site of a catastrophe even more appalling than that already mentioned; more appalling because more extensive. Despite all precautions, however, it is not unusual for lives to be lost and single houses to be destroyed, and there are cases on record where enâ€" tire villages have been buried beyond all possibility of excavation. On the Bernina Pass, a great highâ€" way which leads from Switzerland to Italy, the traveler still has his attenâ€" tion directed to the spot where, many years ago, a village named Mille Morti was buried by an evaianche of earth and rock from the slope of a neighborâ€" ing mountain. Very little is known concerning the disaster, for it is one of those sad cases where neither man, woman nor child escaped to tell the story. In some parts of the country avalâ€" anches of either sort are so likely to occur at anmy time> that the people guard against them by planting extenâ€" sive forests on the hillsides, and in some cases strong bulwarks of maâ€" sonry have been erected between the towns and the mountains. The word has a broader meaning, however, and includes those enormous massesâ€"of earth and rock which not infrequently become loosened from the cliffs and dascend into the valleys, carrying death and destruction far and wide. The Swiss people call them "louâ€" wine," and they are sometimes so cailed in English; as when in ono of his poems Lord Byron spoke of the mountains as place, "Where roar the thundering lauwine," though he probâ€" ably meant no more than the snow avalanches which are frequently seen in summer by the traveler.

These are but a fow of the Instances in which the mountains â€" have sent down ruin upon the peaceful valleys of this lovely land. But, notwithstanding all this, the country is a prosperous one.

It was this on a large scale that caused the disâ€" aster. _ Indeed, the catalogue of evil deeds of which the people of the town were guilty was a long one, and it is said | that they were frequently warned that , some terrible judgment would be sent : upon them unless they reformed. | _ _Be that as it may, it is certain that on June 13, 1486, an earthquake shook In the very centre of Bwitzerland, not far from the famous city of Luâ€" cerne, is a tract of country bearing the general name of Goldau.

Imports of wood and paper from the United States last year amounted to $838,365,792, while exports were valued at $220,087,6108. Of the latter newsprint paper was valued at $90,990,711, and unmanuâ€" factured woods, including logs, laths, planks and boards, shingles, square timber, railroad ties, spoolwood and pulpwood amounted to $112,83¢,017. Pulpwood exports alone were 1,830,â€" 200 cords, valued at $13,526,058. Canada‘s forests are more than carrying their share of her foreign tradeâ€"on the credit side. The strain is telling, however, and, with the tre mendous toll being taken by fires, our timber reserves are being depleted. More thought is being given to forest fire dangers, and it is necessary if we aro to sava this walnelt. 2201 The exports of these three classes of mineral products to the United States amounted to $74,107,767, which is made up practically of raw materials, or on which but comparatively little manufacturing has been done. _ Canada‘s total imports from the United States last year amounted to $524,611,087, of which mineral proâ€" ducts, including the three classificaâ€" tions, iron and its products, nonâ€" ferrous meta‘ls, and nonâ€"metallie minâ€" erals, were valued at $267,719,854.
