Plato got his account of the destrucâ€" tion of Atlantis from Solon, who was told of it by the priests of Neith, the guardians of the veiled image of Saais in Egypt. DISCOVERIES DESCRIBED. Dr. Arthur Berger, in the "Tage blatt," gives the following account of Dr. RBorchardt‘s discoveries: "Scho‘ars have tried in vain to deâ€" termine the place where Atlantis sank into the sea. Tremendous amounts of earth were dug up, and the sea was soundedâ€"in vain, Till finally the Gerâ€" man savant, Paul Borchardt, put forth the hypothesis some years ago that Atâ€" lantis ought to be looked for some where near Gabes, in the north of Africa. Again the quarrel of scholars flamed upâ€"and now came recently the report that Borchardt‘s hypothesis seems true He himself writes me: ""The sun stood low on the sky; with my glasses 1 was able to see disâ€" cnittly a flat hill which was surroundâ€" ed by a big circle which plants had formed in a shallow valley. I started immediately for it, and twenty minâ€"| utes later I stood on the hill. It wu’ undoubtedly an old settlement, as the remnants of walls which peeped out of the ground proved. Around me was the above mentioned circular valiey. My surprise was still greater when I suddenly discovered a second circle which ran concentrically around the first one. This was no doubt the cirâ€" cular plan which Plato had described.‘ "But then came the spectre of doubt. Was he not perhaps mistaken? Wasn‘t this all his own imagination? MANY RELICS FOUND. "And again he went out on the next day; this time the rector of a French echool accompanied him. The cireular valleys or ditches were known to him; a native shepherd knew even the name for the hill in the center, which he called Kair Gallal, which means ‘water pitcher burg.‘ Plato wrotée ‘water burg.‘ Is it a colncidence or a change of the old name which nowadays does not fit any more? There is no water any more in these ditches,. For thouâ€" sands of years the earth has invaded this region, where formerly the sea and the canals and the harbor were. Around this hill one finds huge masses of old broken pots, stone spear points, broken fire stone knives and now and then those bits of walls which seem to indicate that once a big building, perâ€" haps a temple, stood on this place At many places the wandering sand of the desert has taken away the marks of a former civilization; but at other nlaces there are rather numerous remâ€" C W pla th fr (« a nalive shepi for the hill ealled Kair G:q pitecher burg burg.‘ Is it a of the old nar not fit any m TY Berlin.â€"Paul Porchardt, a German scholar, believes that he has found the Lost Atlantis, of which Plato wrote and which is thought to have disapâ€" peared about 1360 B.C.

Wherever Borchardt rode he met h such traces of an old settlement. re is a fountain spring which, acâ€" ling to the tales of the natives, is posed to date back to the days of Romans, and everywhere there are ements of pottery in the gardens he cases; an entire region is called ‘r these picces of pottery: Dahret Chuga, the ‘Hill of Broken Pieces.‘ : entire country is literally covered h ruins and broken fire stone inâ€" imonts. These could not have been ried here by the winds in the course he centuries; they rather must be relics of a time whken many people d in this region.

Few people realize the urgent need which etists for a forest policy in Canada. The economic facts are that the forest is second only to agriâ€" cultura in production of commodity values, and it contributes toâ€"day oneâ€" quarter of Canada‘s total export trade. Therefore, continued depletion of raw materials essential to the woellâ€" being of the forest industries is a direct menace to our national prosâ€" perity. YES OR NO A parliamentary candidate in a rural district made the following remark in the course of his address: ‘"There is no question in the world which I canâ€" not answer with just ‘yes‘ or ‘no‘." An old farm laborer jumped up and said: "Piease, maister, might I ask ‘e a question?" 7 "Certainly, my good fellow," said the candidate. If you are at all runâ€"down, or weak, you should begin at once to take Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills and you will soon be weill and strong.

The least exertion would leave me tired and breathless. In this condition I began taking Dr. Wilâ€" liams‘ Pink Pills.

The majority of reviewers of the vital statistics find consolation in the fact that the "survival rate"â€"that is the births minus deathsâ€"is still on the right side. This argument is all very well so long as the deathâ€"rate reâ€" "H.F.H.," in the first number of The Statisticlan, the © .an of the Soclety of â€" Statisticians and _ Accountants, writets about an overlooked "fallacy" of the birth and death statistics pubâ€" lished from time to time. "Standardâ€" ized" deathâ€"rates are those which would have been recorded if the sex and age constitution of the population had been the same as in 1901. He says: These are crude facts presented without elaboration or sentimentalism. But as a people we have never lacked the courage to think in decades rathâ€" er than in days. It is that sense of the centuries, so markedly the British heritage, taht should point the human and national warning of the empty cradle. Throughout the country, local auâ€" thorities are reporting, with satisfacâ€" tion, rapidly declining death rates. In England and Wales the rate (standâ€" ardized), per 1,000 of the population has fallen consistently, as the followâ€" ing figures show: Not so happy thoughâ€"at least so many people believeâ€"is the comparaâ€" tively rapid fall of the birthâ€"rate, which has declined as follows: Empty Spaces orf Domifiions I Need More British : People â€" > J Shorn of the Empireâ€"and â€" unless we can people our Doininions we will not hold themâ€"we sink in importance and power and wealth until once more our industries will not support the population, no matter how the birth rate has reduced its numbers.

To do that the vast _empty spaces of the Dominions must be populated by a preponderance of the British race. There is no other way. We have carved our own destiny as a nationâ€" bearing people.

"A girl who jumps at conclusions is always startled when the boy friend gives a hoop." Even if specific cures for the prinâ€" cipal couses of death, such as heart disease, bromchitis, pneumonia, canâ€" cer, diseases of nervous system and tuberculosis, are found, it remains nothing shori of a Utopian idea to exâ€" pect an average age at death to exâ€" ceed three score and ten.

The deathâ€"rate cannot remain at its present low figure; the greater longeâ€" vity of the population is masking the true position, & longevity which folâ€" lows aâ€"score of years of great health reforms, leaving so much less scope for similar improvement in the future. The most remarkable improvement has been made in the saving of child life; for instance, the "standardized" deathâ€"rate per 1,000 of the ageâ€"group 0 to 5 years has declined from 66.0 in 1895 and 51.2 in 1906 to 23.3 in 1926. Eventually a "standardized" deathâ€" rate of about 14 per 1,000 (for 15 to 15 "crude" must obtain by which time the birthâ€"rate will, in all probability, have fallen to that figure, if not beâ€" low. How, then, can the expectation of life fAgure be reconciled with the averâ€" age age at death as measured by the present deathâ€"rate? It cannot; it is only a question of time before the two figures come more nearly into agreeâ€" ment. The next forty years will prove this contention. W. E. DILLON CO., Limited The Registrarâ€"General‘s department has calculated that the average expecâ€" tation of life of every child born is, according to the new life tables, 55.6 years for males and 59.8 years for feâ€" males, which is some seven years longer than the experience of fifteen years before, and 12 years longer than & generation ago. Yet the deathâ€"rate is 10.1 per 1,000 of the population "standardized,‘ or 11.6 "crude."
