g1/ Fa One of the things that President Merdman would do is to make some kind of census of the oceans, as a basis for calculating how much food they can be made to yield and what laws can be agreed upon for the proâ€" tection of fish. It is evident from history and geology and archaeology that man has always got a considerâ€" able part of his food from the sea, yet it is the one field in which, with unâ€" fmportant exceptions, he bas estahâ€" lished no individual rights and done no productive work. On land he has multiplied the gifts of nature a hunâ€" éredfold and improved them in quality as well as in quantity; but what naâ€" ture gives him from the sea ho has takes in its casual form and quantity, and been content. The future is l!kely to see a great ehapge. It has been proved that an aroa «f the som css be made to yield No more distinctly scientific body Yhan the British Association extsts anywhere in the world, yet emong the papers that fi}l the program of its anâ€" nual meetings there are always some that have a wide popular and pracâ€" tical Interest. At the Iatest meeting the address of the president, Prof, W. Uprdman of the University of Livâ€" erpool, was devoted to oceanography, a subject on which he is an authority; and elthough the paper touched the scientific imagination in pointing out the immense feld for study in the chemical, geological and biological story of the oceans and ocean life, it l also dwelt upon the very practical matâ€" ter of the food that we get or could get from the sea. A week later orders came to his batâ€" ‘alion that a strong German machineâ€" kun post must be capiured. A Comâ€" pany was given the task, and failed. UC.

The first of the species to be caught were taken south of Nantucket in 1879 and were at once declared by the United States Fish Commission to be an excellent food fish. For two years or so they came to market in conâ€" siderable quantity. Then, in 1882, the achooner Navarino sailed for two days and a night through water the surface of which was covered with dead tileâ€" fish to the estimated number of 256,000 to the square mile. For a long time no tilefish were caught; then, a few years ago they began to reappear and sn ’oyster business, the lobster business and the salmon business are almost the only departments of the great inâ€" dustry of fishing in which anything has been done to make the supply perâ€" manent.

Her ideas are being apâ€" plied in factories, motionâ€"picture theatres, mines, and wherever noxfous gases are gencrated, and they may even revolutionize our whole theory of ventilation. At one of these demonstrations, Mrs. Ayrton, with a threeâ€"inch fan, sat at one end of a sixâ€"foot table while smoke was poured down from a funnel at the other end. The action of the miniature fan not only dispelled the fumes but quickly gained such control over them that the current of air set up preâ€" vented the smoke from coming out of the funnel. The use of this antigas fan in cases of accumulated sewer gas has also been crowned with success, the fan in this case being applied at _ The Ayrton antigas fan is not more than twenty inches square, is conâ€" structed of light material, and works on the hingeâ€"andâ€"spring principle. It was used by the British troops during the last months of the war, and the soldiers gladly testify to its effectiveâ€" ness.

She discovered that the proper way to use a fan is not to wave it about, making the air undulate over a wide space, but to bring it down sharply from the perpendicular to the horizontal, driving the air beâ€" fore it in steady puffs and setting up a fresh current from behind.

It Is Not Easy. than the home The power of the mind over conâ€" tagious disease is well illustrated by Charles L. Leland in his "Have You a Strong Will?" He cites the case of the celebrated physician, Hufeland, who recalls a personcl experience, as follows: Iliness Cured by Merriment. Miss Margaret little thought, when she wrote her name on tne wall, that she was laying a trap to land her friend and one of his chums in prison. _ "Is Miss Margaret â€"â€" here?" they politely inquired. â€" "That is my name." It was a shock to the inspectors, but they proceeded quickly with their questions. Indignant denial was the fAirst attitude. Then slowly came the admissions. She had cashed the check for a young man with whom she had attended a country school many years before. She led the way to a lodging house in a nearâ€"by street, where the inspectors captured two men and seized the rest of the stolen goods. One of the men a year previous had been a station master at the p]ace1 that was robbed. ' At the spot described the name was ’found. The principal of the college remembered something of the girl and thought she had been staying with friends in Toronto. The city directory was next consulted, but of the five families of the name in the city none had a Margaret, and it was a Margâ€" aret that was wanted. It was decided to call on all the addresses. ‘The first one was that of a house showing signs of wealth and responsibility. It hardâ€" ly seemed worth while, but the inspecâ€" tors touched the bell, and almost imâ€" mediately a refinedâ€"looking young woâ€" man answered. " Before the numbers of the stolen orders had been reported, one of the | orders was cashed in Toronto by a | woman who signed her name as "Warâ€" ren." The teller could not give a desâ€" ! cription of the woman but remembered that another young woman, who was :also at the wicket, had given a little smile of recognition to the woman who was getting the money. It was easy to find the second woman, but she proved to have no recollection of the person wanted, except that she had attended business college with her for a short time two years before. She could not remember her name, but promised to try to recall it. A few hours afterwards she was still unable to recall the name, but she rememberâ€" ed having seen the girl write it on the wall of the cloak room of the college. The trail that leads to a thief is often tortuous, but that identification sometimes hinges on the most trivial circumstances is illustrated in a story from The Recollections of a Police Magistrate in the Canadian Magazine. A railway station at a small town in Ontario had been robbed and, besides some money, a number of express orders and railway tickets had been taken.

Then he sald with great obsequiousness, "As near as I can calculate, we owe you the book and about thirtyâ€"seven and oneâ€" half cents." "And as l1 am a personal friend of the proprietor," Mark moaestly conâ€" tinued, "I presume you will allow me the usual twentyâ€"five per cent. disâ€" count? If so, I think I may as well take the book. What‘s the tax?" it. "As I am also the author of the book," said Mark Twain, "it would appear that I am again entitled to fifty per cent. discount." The clerk bowed, He could not deny There are some singular discounts allowed in the book trade that on one occasion were happily illustrated by Mark Twain. One day while the hum. orist was connected with a publishing house he went to a bookcase and, picking up a volume, asked the price. He then suggested that, as a publishâ€" er, be was entitled to fifty per cent. discount. To this the clerk assented. For all the world is so closely akin that not one individual may realize his desire except all the world share it with him. And every Good Word you send into the world is a silent, mighty â€" power, working â€" for Peace, Health, Love, Joy, Sucâ€" cess to all the worliâ€" Including yourself. i The magazines were dashed to pieces, as the Kimberley papers reâ€" ported, by the terrible power of the explosives. In most instances the galâ€" vanized iron was broken into tiny atoms as if by myriad bammers, and cartridges were scattered far and wide through the debris, exploding in volâ€" leys or in scattering blasts for many minutes after the explosion. One large stone was thrown as far as the Central Company‘s offices, a distance of two miles, and smaller ones to the: west end, three miles from the magaâ€" zines. In the most distant parts of the camp there was a startling breakâ€" age of windows, lamps and chandeâ€" lers; and the hotel bars and canteens were so heavily pelted that the floors were swimming with what we might call dynamite cocktail, a liquid comâ€" posed of every liquor under heaven, from Cape Smoke to Heidsieck and Pommery. Witnesses of the explosion thought that hundreds of people had been killed and injured; but almost miraculously, as it seemed, only two persons were killed, one a white, the other a black.

The town in question is a progressive little city, the centre of a fertile farming and ranching country, and of late years a large oll centre. Appreciatâ€" ing the need of better roads, and realâ€" izing that the funds available from taxation must always be inadequate for such demands, the local council of industry evolved a plan., Briefly, this was to name a certain date as "Good Roads Day," and to issue a call to every publicâ€"spirited citizen to deâ€" vote that day toward the improvement j of the main county hirhwave f Toâ€"dazy nobody argues about the necessity for good roads,.

In short, we‘re chary overmuch of due appreciation, and so Love hobbles on a Crutch, or dies of sheer starvaâ€" tion, when all we need is just to say: "By gum! You look A1 toâ€"day!" So easy! Yes, so easy that we let it drop unthinking, and get to giving Tit for Tat, and Discord comes like winking, whereas if we would pracâ€" tice Praise, a week would hold Seven Happy Days.

Me kept them on the Island one year and they would not breed. He then turned them over to a Mr. Oulton who took them to Cherry Island. Oulton was the only lnhubi-' tant on the island, and the foxes, not | being disturbed, raised the first pair| of silver foxes that ever were reared;‘ in confinement. Dalton and Oulton | | The silver or blackâ€"silver fox is a color phase of the common red fox found pearly everywhere in Canada. Silver foxes bear the same relation to red foxes that black squirrels do to gray squirrels, or black muskrats to brown muskrats. Through selective breeding in captivity, the silver or silverâ€"black markings have become fairly constant and good animals reâ€" produce true to type. In the typical silver fox, black replaces the red of the ordinary fox, the result being &A beautiful black fur overlaid with a| sprinkling of silvery white guard! hairs. Between the ideal silverâ€"black fox and the red are all grades of crosses, which, of course, are less valuable than the true silver blacks, yet worth many times the cost of the ordinary red.

His whole character beâ€" comes affected by this unhappy conâ€" viction of inferiority, and as a result his life is a failure. This unfavorable judgmert makes an impression on the plastic mind of a child that lasts through life. A boy will grow up convinced that he is beâ€" low par mentally, that there is someâ€" thing the matter with his mind, that he hasn‘t the ability of others about him, and that, no matter how hard he may try, he will never get ahead or amount to anything much. In time, this belief so undermines his ambition that he gives up attempting to excel _ There are multitudes of people who have such convictions about themâ€" selves. They often have their beginâ€" ning in the home or the school, when a child is told he is a dunce, a goodâ€" forâ€"nothing, and will never amount to anythingâ€"that be can‘t learn like others, can‘t do things like others. To drag through the years with the belief that there is something wrong with you, that you lack ability to do the thing you long to do, or that you have a serious handicap, physically or mentally, that you are peculiar, queer, or inferior, takes the edge off your endeavor; it mars your peace of mind and happiness; it deprives you of the satisfaction which should come from honest effort to make good. ‘ It is a terrible thing to go through life with the conviction that someâ€" thing serious is the matter with you, that you are inferior in some way to thoese about you, that you lack certain ability or certain qualities which are necessary for great success, or to make your life count for very much, Something the Matter With Me. From Prince Edward Island the inâ€" dustry has spread into New England, Michigan and Alaska and into all of the provinces of Canada, In the early days of the business as high as $31,000 per pair was paid for breeders. Prices slowly declined until the end of the war, 1918, but since then they have steadily advanced until foxes for breeding now sell all the way from $600 to $2,000 apiece, and it is estimated there are more than 4,000 of the animals on the Island. ‘D, »@4lasmoned effort, ess?
