It reposes on a round mobile platform in metal and concrete. To some extent this platfarm is stmilar to the turntables used in railway yards. It has eight large beams placed starwise on a cenâ€" tral pivot. At the end of each beam is .an inon wheel which is inserted into a cireular rail. Sufficient space is left for perlodic examination and re pairs. Needless to say, the foundations, of reinforced concrete, are extremely solid, and are built on a special plan. Tte mechanism of gyration is simple enough, and is worked by an electric motor. In the interior of the house a button may be pressed, and the structure will start to turn slowly. It can be stopped instantly. With a motor of four horsepower, it is calcuâ€" lated that the complete circuit can be made in an hour. That is regarde l as rapid enough, and generally spea‘.â€" ing, the house may be turned towa:«¢ the sun in a few minutes, while even when the edifice is in motion it may be entered easily. It will at once be understood that no extraordinary ingenuity is reâ€" quired to carery out the scheme; and yet a revolving house strikes one as almost revolutionary. The architecâ€" ture is sober.

At first sight it would seem to be difficult to compose such a room which should be agreeable to the eye.

Its exalted babble mingles with the lowing apâ€" proval of the cattlé in the nearâ€"by meadows. It wends its irresponsible way in a lurching, twisting, carefree manner. The silly little brooklet has not a single worry. Bushes line the banks in an effort to ward off possible harm. Their slender arms wave a farewell to the stream as it rushes by. The tall, proud trees on the hill seem to smile at its childish antles. Pieces of flotsam retreat to tiny, quiet bays as though trying to catch their breath. They then again join their joyously carousing comrade who has swaggered on alone. A leaf from a ncighborly tree is aroused from its lethargy and swirls down to take part in the fun.

Everything in the house is des{gned in conformity | with the notion that it may be turned i toward the sun. The model that is shown, with its large vestibule, its bureau, its salon, its dining room, its big kitchen and offices, its two bedrooms, its bathâ€" room, its closets, its cabinets, and roomy cupboards, and its central court, its roof terrace, and its external terâ€" race, is estimated at 1,250,000 francs, or about $50,000. This includes the decorations and the furnishings of the most sumptuous kind. The mechâ€" anism, however, only represents 200,â€" 000 francs, or some $8,000. e _ To supply the breakfasts and eggâ€" s nogs, etc., of the Canadian homes nearâ€" 4 ly eleven million dozens of eggs are a kept in storage.

On the roof is a terrace with a pergola, and in the centre a glassâ€"covered dome It may, however, be asked what price is required for such a house. For persons of limited means it should be added that the authors of the project declare that it is possible to build smaller and less luxurlous villas which will turn on a pivot at very little cost. The mechanism of these villas is estimated at 20,000 francsâ€"that is to say, considerably less_than $1,000. All kinds of econâ€" omies can be effected on the ornamenâ€" tations and furnishings, and, in short, a house that turns toward the sun at the pleasure of the occupant can te had for a most reasonable rate. M. Sergine, writing in llllustraâ€" tion, rightly says: "After the instincâ€" tive surprise caused by the idea of a turning house, one will quickly beâ€" come accustomed to such a realization and even be astonished that it should have been thought of so late; for by its form and its rotative movement, the house is in perfect harmony with the form and the movement of the universe." In any case, there is something peâ€" cullarly poetic and attractive in the preject, and it is safe to say that this combination of modern mechanâ€" ism, artistic taste, and the natural love of sunlight, will before long be given in France, in England, and in America practical shape, and many people will avail themselves of the new possibility of living always in the sun. 4g2 temper.

Utilization of Natural Gas. | The low cost of production of natural gas coupled with the belief that the swpply was inexhaustfble has in the past led to certain abuses in Canada. In days gone by, in towns lighted by natural gas it seemed to be an exâ€" travagant expenditure to pay a man to turn the gas off in daytime so the lights were allowed to burn throughâ€" out the twentyâ€"four hours And in Western Ontario, where the earliest wells were drilled from 1890 to 1895, there were few customers in Canada but large potential markets in the cities of Detroit and Buffalo, the proâ€" duct of the wells was heavily export ed; this export was curtailed in 1898 and 1900.

Distribution of Canada‘s Water Power. Canadians Like Eggs. _ Revision of their forest policies seems to be in order in the great timâ€" ‘ber provinces of Canada to the end | that their forest wealth may be furâ€" ther assured of preservation and their forest industries of stabilization and perpetuation. The Quebec Governâ€" : ment recently moved to take steps to | protect its forest industries by followâ€" ‘ing up more actively its policy of | safeguarding the forests through reâ€" | planting and ensuring an abundance | of supplies for those mills already in | existence before favoring the estabâ€" ‘lishment of other mills. Now the Onâ€" tario Government, which has always shown itself progressive in forestry matters, is inaugurating a new and novel policy of conservation calculated to further preserve and perpetuate the ‘province‘s forests to the people through enlisting the support of the general public in the praiseworthy work. FOREST POLICY OF ONTARIO PROVINCE After their Canadian visit the boy choristers of the Royal Chapol return to England, some of them equipped with skates they secured in the Dominion. STOP EXPORT OF PULP. WOOD TO CONSERVE ‘TIMBER Secure Coâ€"operation of Townâ€" ships, Municipalities and Farmers to Aid in Work. "Ontario leads the world in timberâ€" wealth, in spite of the enormous comâ€" mércial demands being made upon its resources and a fire menace which has destroyed many millions of acres and is still a problem of great conâ€" cern to the Government," stated the Minister of Lands and Forests preâ€" senting to the provincial legislature his policy which aims at further inâ€" creasing this wealth and at rehabilitâ€" ating the forest lands within the limâ€" its of the province. The amount of white and red pine alone in the proâ€" vinte he estimated as sufficient to last for fifty years without counting on ned growth, ensuring vast revenue‘ to the province. ! COMMERCIAL DEMAND HEAYY. I The commercial drain on the| province‘s timber resqurces is very., large, both through the lumber and the pulp and paper industries. The first sale of pulpwood was made in‘ the province in 1891 and toâ€"day, of the $500,000,000 invested in the inâ€" dustry, Ontario is represented by about $175,000,000. Of the nearly $210,000,000 invested in the lumber' industry of Canada, almost $55,000,â€" 000 is concerned with Ontario operaâ€" tlons. For the last five years the averago annual value of the producâ€" tion of lumber, laths, shingles and‘ ties has been approximately $37,500,â€" 000; pulp and paper, $66,642,000;| pulpwood exported, $3,300,000; and fuel wood, $12,229,000; or a total of approximately $120,000,000. One compensation for the depletion of the pine resources has been the rapidity with which other timbers, poplar for instance, were_taking its place. Poplar is now coming greatly into demand for the manufacture of fine paper and this fabrication has been successfully inaugurated in the province. At the same time it is the declared intention of the Government to stop the export of pulpwood as rapidly as possible. While it is recâ€" ‘ ognized that Ontario has great timber | resources yet, Northern Ontario, for instance, having vast stretches that FLIGHTâ€"LIEUT. C. R.

NEW REFORESTATION POLICY, The new policy is directed at seâ€" curing the coâ€"operation of the townâ€" ships and municipalities of the proâ€" vince and the farmers of the southern area to aid in the work. These will be invited to set aside tracts of land for reforestation purposes, farmers being asked to devote ten acres, the poorest on their farms, to this purâ€" While this will go a long way toâ€"| wards building up Ontario‘s forests, | it does not affect the province‘s great»l est menace, that of fire, but it isi gratifying to learn that energetic| measures are resulting in a diminuâ€"| tion of the annual loss by this means. | In 1923 Ontario lost 2,120,148 acres of forest land through fire; in 1924, 146,000 acres; in 1925, 187,000 acres; and in 1926 the efficiency of fire paâ€" trol reduced this to 82,000 acres. The Ontario Government had gradually built up and developed a very able mrerial forest patrol service, and has at Sault Ste. Marie what is claimed to be the greatest areodrome centre in America from which fireâ€"fighting forces are able to spot fires and exâ€" tinguish them before any great damâ€" age is done. In 1926 the cost of fire protection amounted to about $1,000,â€" 000, $300,000 of this being contributed by lumbermen who hold concessions in the area. ‘ A SANE AND HEALTHY POLICY. _ Ontario, in common with the rest {of Canada, is endeavoring to follow a sane and healthy policy with regard lto its forests and the insurance of ‘future supplies. The pulp and paper lindustry has in record manner reachâ€" \‘ed the leadership among Canadian inâ€" \dustrial ativities and it is felt has ‘attained adequate heights of producâ€" ‘tion having regard to forest resourâ€" ll Few people realize how steadily land settlement is continuing in the west. In 1926 up to and including September over 5000 homesteads were taken up ‘in the four western provinces, repreâ€" ‘senting an area of over 630,000 acres. This was nearly double the area taken up in 1925. There is still much virgin land in Canada capable of tremendous production agriculturally and this is equally true of every section of the Dominion from the Maritime Proâ€" vinces to the Poace River country. ces. Nothing in Ontario, according to the Minister of Lands and Forests, has done more to stabilize industrial conditions than the pulp and paper industry, but now, following the exâ€" ample of Quebec, the Government hesitates to make further commitâ€" ments. A novel type of taximeter supplies the passonger at the end of his jourâ€" ney with a printed ticket showing the exact amount of fare due. Canada‘s Virgin Soils.

There is something to be eaid for travel. It does broaden and develop minds amazing!y. It does make the heart expand, and the oyes awaken to wider prospects. It does make countries come closer together, and bring the nativeâ€"born of those countries to a better understanding of one another. And for Canadians, whose country cries out mightHy and with rich promise for more people willâ€" ing to come and settle on her fertile soil, the experience of travelling abroad seems to have a superb inten sifying effect. The Bond of Blood. They are more wonderfully Cangâ€" dian than ever, greater in warmth of heart, grander in confidence in their own land, prouder and more purposeâ€" ful in patriotism, if possible, even more hospitable than they ane within their own Canadian domains. It is inâ€" finitely worth while for those who have settled for a few years in Canada to bestir themselves, even at some cost, from the comforts of their new Canaâ€" dian homes, and to voyage forth again towards the Ol4 Lends they have left. Let them learn the marvellous thrill of the backward look towards Canada from their native land. Let them disâ€" cover what it means to begin to think of Canada as "Home" and the Cana dianâ€"born as something nearer and dearer to them than mere neighbors. Then let them by good fortune, and through the fine generosity of some Canadianâ€"born abroad, come to be claimed in those kindly Canadian acâ€" cents, as "Canadians too." If that does not stir them to the very soul with a new loyalty to Canâ€" ada, then there is nothing in the bond of blood for those of the British stock.
