Canadian History Depicted _â€"In Royal Christmas Cards The next great advance in medical scienco, the distinguished British surâ€" geon, Lord Moynihan, said recently, in an address at Guy‘s Hospital Medical School in London, should be the study of healthy individuals instead of sick ones; perhaps especially the study of individuals who are just about to get sick. When the average patient calls in a physician or goes to a hospital, Lord Moynihan said, the forces of Naâ€" ture usually are fighting in the last ditch. The physician has only a forâ€" lorn hope to work on.

By means of novel machinery, s>a weed can be converted into paper in less than half an hour. ‘Sixteen difâ€" ferent kinds of paper, as well as cardâ€" board and glue, have already been obtained from seaweed, and the chie? waste product is a fireproof sabstance that can be manufartured into tles. From Russia comes news of a disâ€" covery which may revolutiorize the paperâ€"making industry. An engineer named Velijeff was struck some time ago with the idea that seaweed probâ€" ably contained the essential subâ€" stances for making paper. Now he has evolved a process which allows this to be done on a large scale at a remarkably low cost. A factory nearâ€" ing completion in the neighborhood of great sea lakes in Sibera will, it is estimated, yield an annual seaweed crop of 100,000 tons.

It ought to be possible, the British surâ€" geon urged, to develop an entirely difâ€" ferent type of medical science, dealâ€" ing with normal people and with the fight against disease before the first engagement has gone in favor of the enemy instead of afterward. To create the detailed knowledge of norâ€" mal and "nearâ€"normal" human beings necessary for such a science, Lord Monynihan advocated the establishâ€" ment in medical colleges of professorâ€" ships of normal human physiology, giving these professors and their asâ€" sistants access not only to hospital sick paitents and to sick people genâ€" erally but to groups of normal people in ordinary walks of life, and espevial-‘ ly to people who feel themselves just beginning to fall sick. f The Possibilities of Tubes In Kentucky Limestone Boyd and Connor ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO Teacher: "Willte, what did Sir Walter Raleigh say when he placed his cloak on the muddy road for Queen Elizabeth to wa‘k on*" Willie It is interesting to n« the recent articles is th (London), that this road tar macadam surface lik Scottish main roads, a pected that the conseq: ‘tnm skid®A®ng will mak with motor tourists in N The director explained what statisâ€" tics showed that Quebec had beer the seat ofâ€"an earthquake at some what regular intervals every 50 or 60 years since 1660.
