The Tourist Trade Saint John Timesâ€"Globe (Ind.):â€" Tourist trado is Canada‘s great invisâ€" ible export. It is largely imponderâ€" able. Its magnitude and importance are admitted but little understood. It is almost impossible to gauge the full value of the tourist trado in all its imâ€" plications. All profit by the coming of tourists; how much and how directly it is hard to assess. But while all are participants in what is brought in by tourists, hotelâ€"keepers and retail merâ€" chants are unquestionably those who reap the most direct and visible beneâ€" fAit.

The British Minister of Agricuiture has recently made an order with the object of preâ€" venting the introduction into that country of the Cherry Fruit fiy. This order regulates the importation of cherries into England and Wales durâ€" ing the 1931 season. I Those individual Lonc; Scouts do not care to go alone shoul Lone Patrols will no doubt this seaâ€" son find lots of fun camping together, either making their own sleoping shelâ€" ters or taking along those jolly little "Pupâ€"tents" which are so easily carâ€" rled and are to be obtained so cheaply. it one of these mass camps which aro in reality a "Home from Home."

The tendency of recent years has been, unfortunately, as far as boys‘ camps are concerned, to get away from the original pioneering spirit of camp and to mass boys in a large | readyâ€"made habitation which has been very poor substitute for the joys of || camping as known by those who have 1 roughed it out in the open with only a j amall tent, and who have had to carry | their own water and cook their own|l breakfast!

"Next best to seeing the ocean or the hills or the woods is enjoying a painting of them."â€"Maxfield Parrish, Sir Hubert, said his ambition to study the weather in order to be able to predict it as much as two months in advance had made it necessariy for him to become an exâ€" plorer, so that he could study regions where meteorological conditions originated. A special diving compartment will make it possible to record the temâ€" perature of the water along thouâ€" sands of miles of the voyage and may serve to clear up the mystery of where the Gulf Stream ends, conâ€" firming or exploding theories that it sank or rose out of great holes in the ocean bed, he said. The Nautilus is equipped with 38 new devices which will make it posâ€" sible for it to travel under the polar ice cap, while an ordinary submarâ€" ine would be inadequate, he said. The party expects to travel no further than 50 miles at a time under the ice, he said, with stops at intervals to renew the air supply, recharge batteries, and conduct scientific work. Magnetic and gyroscopic compasses, a theodolite, and other apparatus will . make it possible to navigate withâ€" out any insurmountable obstacles, he ‘added. . _A think we can omit reference to danger," he said. "‘Every one of us experiences danger at one time or another. _ In exploration we estiâ€" mate the hazards and prepare in adâ€" vance to meet them, _ In preparing this expedition we went to men who had had years of experience and the greatest fund of knowledge to supâ€" port us in the situation we shall face. If we are 50 per cent. successful, the expedition will have been worth‘ while.

Sir Hubert Wilâ€" kins, recently expressed confidence that his Submarine expedition unâ€" der the ice cap at the north pole would be successful and declared that it might lead to important disâ€" coveries concerning the Gulf Stream and other marine conditions. ‘ Sir Hubert said that if the Nautilus reaches Spitsborgen safely, he was sure the expedition would be successâ€" ful. ‘‘Nautilus"‘ Not An Ordinary Submarine â€" Has 38 Wilkins Confident The love for common things grow daily, things that cost nothing, and life was full of them.

The insects found | were killed by fumigation and then lm‘ound in water, but in such fashâ€" lion that living germs inside the inâ€" | sects‘ bodies would not perish, Small | amounts of this germ mixture then | were injected into human beings, ’causing cases of typical fever. It is evident, the investigators believe, that the germs of the fever have learned the secret of hibernation also, perhaps from their insect hosts, and that they manage to stay alive all winter in the bodies of the inâ€" sects although the germs can get but little fod or oxygen while the inâ€" sects are in their winter sleep, _ It is probable, MM. Joyeux and Pieri believe, that this long winter sleep weakens the germs somewhat so that they are less virulent when they first emerge in the spring than they, become later on in the summer. What becomes of the germs of the disease called Mediterranean fever I in the winter so that they can live to start a new epidemic in the spring was described recently to the ‘| French Academy of Sciences, in Paris, by MM. Ch. Joyeux and J. Pieri. _ This fever usually breaks out in the summer, the investigators â€"| report, although occasional cases are ‘! met with in winter also, The germ | of the disease is believed to be ‘ | spread by the bites of bloodsucking | ticks and perhaps of other insects. | During the warm weather of summer these ticks are plentiful and many people are bitten, thus causing much fever. _ As cold weather comes on the ticks apparently vanish but by digging into cracks in the walls of | houses, underneath wall paper and . insimilar places M.
