What appears' to be a vary comprehensive bohème for the abolllton of the gravel pit nuisance at Spring Ridge, which .would pay for itself, was pro- sen ted to the members of the streets committee at a meeting held last evening. The* matter was discussed at some length, abjd the scheme received the ap- I Pov'al ofv the aldermen. The financial aspect wlfl bè^pnsidered later on. after the property owner» who would be Immediately affected have been Interviewed.v This scheme has been drawn up as ■» result of conférâmes between a special committee of the city council, consisting of Aldermen Stewart, Humber, McKeown and Fullerton, and s committee appointed by the residents of SpringJttidse..Xtai Jmmjmm «** district affected, lot by lot, and have had a plan prepared which greatly facilitated the presenting of the plan proposed -to-ihp. aldermen.I - The Scheme Kxplained

J. G. Brown, chairman of the c|U- *ens‘ committee, was asked 'by Aid. Stewart to explain what It w|s proposed should be done to get rid of these unsightly pit». He explained at the out set that the district to be dealt with was bounded by a line starting from the intersection of Queen s avenue and Chambers struct, running along Queen's avenue to Spring road, thence along Spring road to North road and along the latter thoroughfare to- Pembroke street, and across Pembroke street following the line of block 62 to the north end of lots 2 and S of block 60 to Gladstone avenue and along the latter street east to thé west side of the Bap-

, . list church property, following the lineProperty U* that property south and easterly to

Fernwood r>ad and along Fernwood road south to Grant street and along Grant street to Cham bets street thence along Chambers street to the I*uint<of commencement

all th«*se years, and Itself being an e Render. 4

The committee discussed the financial view, which naturally was art tm- portant one. While the work ts expected to pay for Itself,, whether done at the cost of the city ta a whole or as a local improvement, there must be some money to begin It. The aldermen were satisfied, however, that this can be satisfactorily arranged.

Mayor Hall moved that the council express its approval of the proposition laid before It, and this was agreed to.

Mr. Brown said the committee would have to report back to the ratepayers, besides which they would Interview each Individual proprietor to be expropriated. and find what he or she Would be willing to sell for.

The members of the Spring Ridge committee present were J. G. Brown. James Parfltt, George Morphy and A. Gleason. —■*. • ,

The bridge on the Goj-ge road; tween Manchester street and Washington Avenue, is to be done away with and the rbadway filled In where It crosses the ravine. This decision was brought about by the strenuous oppost tlon of Aid. Humber at the streets committee meeting last night to any half measures,

A petition was read from F. W. Faw celt, Hon. Richard McBride and some two dnxen other owners, protesting against the decision to limit the expenditure on the bridge to $606 for this year. The necessary work was only partly done with this sum, they said. The bridge was commonly considered to be In a bâd condition. In view of they heavy traffic they respectfully petitioned to have the work completed at

Aid. Henderson thought » should be obtained from the ctiy engineer as to the estate of the bridge and the amount it would cost to fill Inthe road. --------

Aid. Humber said the committee had been stampeded last week when they found out there was So much filling being carted out and ordered that no more than $500 be spent on the work this year. The bridge was In bad condition and would have to be replaced inside a year, so that the wise thing was to complete the work of filling in at once. Aid, Humber declared that the bridge was in'a disgraceful condition at present. with earth <lum|*-d on top of It, planks torn up and other damage ddne. Nine horses had gone over there recently.

Mayor Hall laughed,,» sceptical laugh. "I am telling the truth.” said Aid.

Humber. "The premier of the province in that petition there, says the road Is a disgrace. I m<Se that the bridge be filled in at once."

Mayor Hall Raid he agreed with the proposition, but not with the method of doing the work. He saw no reason why It should not be done as a work Of local Improvement and the people of «the. neighborhood pay their share, as the people of Victoria West had to; they should not get the work done out of the general revenue whejL other people in the city had to pay for such work». Some of those who signed the petition, he declared• msS$& JftfcJBKfe. done because it wdutfl enhance their property.

New York, Aprlt JO.—'The World yes terday printed an article by a special Washington correspondent, who say»:

The navy department has announced that the sixteen battleships that formed a part of Admiral Evans' fleet on the world cruise are to be remodelled. This announcement Is regarded as practical confirmation of the current report that Üïe tang voyage practically Wrecked the navv/* .

Contlmrtitg,- the corrtipondftnt mays that the masts of many of the ship# were sprung, plates loosened and machinery and equipment damaged.

The navy department, he says, ad Tnlis that sixteen vessels are laid up for repairs. According" to the plana which

consideration of the authorities, the sixteen vessels may be transformed Into monitors similar to the old type, but having more freeboard. All cumbersome superstructure would be removed. Nothing would appear above the turrets. fore and aft. but the funnels for t#e SofWC and the wire "watte bd» ket" type masts used as lookouts.

The critics assert, according to the World article, that It Is admitted that the armor belt on many of the vessels la misplaced, and that an innovation XVm he accomplished by raising the belt to a point where'll will be more effective. Fighting masts will be dispensed with in favor of the wire bracket type that Is practically Invulnerable.

Secretary Makes Statement. Washington, D. C., April 10.—In

ply to the criticisms of the battleships now undergoing alterations, Secretary of the Navy Meyer yesterday reiterated the statement that the fleet will be united In June In as good war condition i- ewer beftire

The alterations which he stated were planned as a result of the cruise, will

y TOrtr- strip -two fire-contro! masts of the "waste basket" type. These will be painted war color, and the brass figureheads of the vessels . will be rè-

The after bridges and parts of the forward bridges will be removed. This will.be effectivejdn reducing the top hamper to a t oroide rAbk- degree and will make less than an Inch different* in the waterllnf.

The changes being maffe are said to be a result of the extensive tests made during .the summer! manoeuvres.

Sensation.

Washington, D. C, April 30.—Declaring that the people have1 been fooled by the promises of the Republican party, which ha* revised the tariff to suit itself and the American Protective League. Senator I sad ore Raynor, of Maryland, created a sensation on the floor of the senate yesterday.

The people have been fooled again, as they will be fooled until eternity unless federal tasatlon la rescued from the contamination of politics and the combinations that practically own the government," shouted Rayner.

He then analysed the Payne bill and charged that while the schedules were reduced in some instances, they had been raised in others so the reduction hi not effective. Trust oppression will not be relieved J6y the bontemplated changes In the present rales, he declared, arid offered a strong argument favoring the opening of all ports and bringing them Into competition with the whole world.

He praised tariff for revenue only, and said that he favored the lowest

high rate qn luxuries.—The Lumber Tariff Declaring that the lumber tariff Is

building one of the greatest monopeWes in the United States. Senator Hunts Nelson, of Minnesota, made % strong argument In. favor of the .proposed reduction provided for I» the Payne bill, pointed out the Clark Nickerson Company of Washington, of which ex-Governor Aough is manager, as an ei- amplc of the prosperity off the lumber1 business. He. quoted data gathered by the Inter-state commerce comtblssion to show the success of the company.

Senator Piles of Washington, took the floor and stated that all other Washington manufacturers lost money dur* Ing the period referred to by Nelson.

THE BRITISH BUPQgTT ^ JTh# budget speech of the British

Chancellor will prove the fiscal sensation of the day. Confronted with an enormous deficit, due chiefly to heavy charges upon the .revenue on account of internal reforms and Imperial. fence, Mr. Lloyd-Georgqjias not hesitated to impose taxes upon the classes he considers best able to carry the burden. He Is going to increase the income tax and all taxes upon land, land transactions, financial and stock deals, and licenses for the sab liquor. Tobacco and whisky are only luxuries of thq poor from which he purposes exacting an increased revenue, the .real necessities of life being exempt. It Is therefore, or ought to be so considered, a popular budget. Tor that reason It will be assailed with great virulence by the opposition in Parliament. It will cause an increase in the Conservative demand for a completely new system of taxation, having for Its bace, of çourse, fiscal reform. The speech pf the Chancellor of the Exchequer means that the Issue between tariff reformers and free traders le now fairly Joined. The government*. representing the Liberal party, will maintain that the reform can only be #d by transferring thé

In undertaking to raise a. fund of one hundred thousand dollars for a new Y.M.C.A, building In Victoria wRhtn the space of a few weeks, the promoters of that enterprise set themselves to a task of considerable magnitude. Many people thought Ah* thteg. «mid not be done. But the volunteers were enthusiastic, and their enthusiasm has not abated a Jot althoogh the time limit has about expired and they are still short several thousand* of dollars of the goal.

taxation, from the shoulders of those most competent to bear It to the backs of the poor or the great consuming classes. The Conservatives will take the ground that the time has come for an enlargement of the incidence of taxation, which Being lntrepreted, of course, mean» that the so-called ruling classes arè anxious to transfer part at t bel TV obligations- to tbs public at large. Whether the great body of the electorate Is in a position at present" to-appreciate the actual situation is a matter that can only be determined by the result of a general election. There are many side issues in the .case which may affect the popular Judgment. These have been astutely raised fend cultivated by the opposition. *Çhe cry of Imperial unity and the national alarm in regard to the ambitions of Germany, together with the admitted depression In trade and the consequent Inability of many thousands of workers to secure steady employment-all these factors in the case will be marshalled skillfully against the government, and there le Is no question that they* will have the designed effect. Great Britain Is confronted with a political crisis fraught with far-reaching consequences. _______ :

May 2nd is the date set for the game that . will probably be the final soccer match this season »n the island or in which the island playera wilt Ake part. I«adysmlth and Nanaimo are to meet In the Island league schedule,' and from the reports from tjadysmlth and the admissions frbtn Nanaimo that their team la now disorganis^. the vletory should be with the Ladysmith team.

That this will be the last game in which island players will take part this season Is probable from the action of the Vancouver football league by which the abandonment of the British Columbia and Mainland-island championships le probable. Home time ago the officials of the Vancouver league discussed the advisability of not continuing the championship games, and decided that as all the dates were taken up it was practically Impossible to play. The league has called

When the officials meet It Is likely they will decide to abandon the champion matches this year, although no definite «rrangement ha* been made. The mainland teams are all booked until the end of May. and to play the games will require the cancellation of some of their matches. At the. present time every Saturday is taken up with a championship league match on the mainland. The date for the island-mainland game at Vancouver. May 22nd. the Vancouver ground la booked and the Vancouver players will not play the game on the Sunday. On the receipt of advices from the "Vancouver Island league secretary, notifying the mainland league of the dates selected at last Saturday night's meeting, ah Informal meeting of soccer men was held In Vancouver at which the affairs were discussed. Th? meeting dispersed to come together again on Monday night. '

Baylls Is in bis usual fine condition trained to t hi-point that will give hint a -tttm of speed ns well ns stamina-to stay the dlstànce with ease. He is too well known to need particular disertp- tion save that as usual he has attend ed faithfully tp his training, and, will run every inch of the five miles at the hardest pace set.

Three other events are on toj-motifow card at Oak Bay. Besides the five mile race between the two Bay members the card calls for a four mile run. one hundred yards dash and a base ball game. There are eight entered for the tear mile race for which the trophy Is a gift of the J. B. A. A.

The local Japanese are leaving nothing ündohe to show ûtelr- appreciation of the visit.

That the citizens of Victoria will appreciate having a visit from the cruls-

The following message was received from the steamer Admiral Sampson this morning by the United Wirelesa system : New Alaska Pacific liner for the Los Angeles run left Seattle at noon for-rtmrm"W ûnTCwffiTTor guests aboard. They are being excel

lions whether in or out of office, Mr. Balfour would not have been human If at times 'during the past years he had not felt the effect of having before him in the House of Commons an army swamping his own by at least a majority of four or five to one. and an army, moreover, which at first was not tn- i tin.-<l to extend to him the courtesy and respect which his position Justified Considerable sections were after the general elections disposed to disregard him—to treat him as the elegant gentleman who handled the practical matters of life with the airy gracefulness of a political trifler. It speaks much for Mr. Balfour that he soon completely obliterated that feeling from the minds of even his bitterest opponents. But even after this there remained the fact that whenever he rose to speak in the House he had to face an unsympatheticEU* gèliéfaTiy hostile crowd of 513 Liberals, Nationalists, and* Labor members to his own slender following of J57. That- fact sometimes had its unconsciously""' disheartening effect oh the rank and file, and though It never prevented him from flinging h tin self Into |the breach on every possible occasion, it must sometimes have had an effect on hlg mind. For Mr. Balfour with all his courage and tenacity, is an extremely sensitive man. It may even to some extent have Effected his health. Certain it la that since his re turn from Biarritz a new Mr. Balfour has sprung to life in the political world, a dominating statesman who Is not merely pulling his party together but firing them with that forceful enthusiasm without which they cannot hope for any great or sweeping victory.

A Strenuous Month.The leader of the opposition has spent strenuous month. Speeches at im

portant public meetings have alternated with stirring times in the House at Commons. At the end of February he made a stimulating speech on the utilization of Intellect at a meeting of the t arnegie trust for Scottish universities Early in March he explained to a notable city gathering at the Mansion House the value of the deliberations of the House of Lords. Two days later.

ned at lunch at the Constitutional Chib, he delivered a long and important statement on tariff reform. Only a few days ago came his rousing speech at the Agricultural hall, starting the campaign which is to win London back to Unionism. Finally there was his great navy speech at the Guildhall. Jo between all these things was unfailing and most effective work In the House of Commons. Ipdeed, it Is in the House thgt he hae been most effective. Ill

He has become a moving influence In that dominantly Radical assembly. Even the extremists listen to him with

and attention. There Is no re sisting his vital energy, disguised though it Is under soft tones. Always something of a mesmerist, Mr. Balfour has recently added to bis subtly at tractive personality a determination and a force which will inevitably sweep him and his party Into power. There la confidence In his eye. He argues with and talks sweet reasonableness to thg Radical *osts. and they listen to him with what ia sometimes a kind of unwilling sympathy. The power.of P* man shines forth lfkts a beacon: All seem to realize that before long he will again be guldtifg the course of imperial affairs. A perception of this has come to Mr. Balfour'ftlmself. He would Indeed be blind if he did not see that tttir'«wj piwbeWe ‘ *"

“Wear” _______ „Every time you hard rub your clothes

against anything, little particles arc rubbed away.

Boiling softens the fibre of cotton, linen, silk and wool, and when rubbed hard on the washboard they wear away faster than at any other time.

Try to think how many days of wear . are represented by one trip to the old-; ’ time wash tub.

Fels-Napitha requires neither boiling water nor hard rubbing.

And there is no washboard wear on the clothes washed the Fcls-Naptha way.,

Felp-Naptha is made to do away with boiling and hard rubbing; therefore if you use it as ah ordinary soap, you cause yourself unnecessary work.

Use Fcls-Naptha in cool or lukewarm water and it will do all we claim.

It will cut the washday in half, summer or winter, and do silently and effectively all the real hard work.

If you follow the simple directions on the red and green wrapper, you will never return to ordinary soaps and tlv old-fashioned way of wasning.

“The Twentieth Century is Canada’s;” so says Sir Wilfrid Laurier, “Canada’s Grand Old Man.”

Canada begins the twentieth century where the United States began the nineteenth. The opportunities of building rapid fortunes are even greater in Canada now than they were in the early days of the United States.

The richest field for investment and enterprise in America to-day is Western Canada. One of the richest sections of Canada is alluring Alberta, the link between the prairies and the sea.

Lord Strathcena says, “At the end of the twentieth century Canada will have a population twice as large as that of the British Isles.” This will make Canada the dominating unit of the British Empire.

AUSTRALIAN TIMBER.

Made of the Supply In New South Wales.

According to the recently published re- *•8- T5»rt of the. royal eommlsslon appointed

to Inquire Into the timber resources of New South Wales, the total quantity of commercial timber at present standing In the state, excluding timber growing oq private lands, la estimated aj. 25.116.- 606.060 superficial feet, consisting of: Hard woods r Iron-bark. 1J65.006.000 superficial feet; other hardwoods for rqilling. 8.668.000.660 superficial feet; for other purposes. 11.7«.060.W*> superficial feet; total. 21J11.006.000 superficial feet. Soft woods: cedar. 5.060.066 superficial feet; hoop pins. 230.000,000 superficial feet; other brushwoods. 150.000.006 superficial feet : cypreee pine. 920.006.000 superficial feet; total. 1.305.000.000 superficial feet, says the

The ability of snakes to perform feats of swallowing their prey Is astounding. Recently a small boa. scarcely four feet in length, with a head no larger than a man’s thumb, swallowed a full- grown pigeon, says the Scientific American. We put the pigeon -In the cage at night, thinking that an Indian python seven or eight feet luhg wotiM take It, but a great awelllng in tho body of the little boa showed What hod become of the bird. Ah no shake chews or rends his prey, we kne.v tl^t It passed his head and throit e itlfo. The enlargement did not disappear for a week. _L .... '

“Long Tom,” a giant retlctilated python., fed on a pig weighing : pounds. .We wanted to get some photographs of the monster reptile taking large prey, so the pig was put In the den alive: but as^hls prey had been killed for»him in captivity, the snake got frightened when the pig began to move about and squeal, and iuteked away. When the pig was killed and he smelled the blood, he took the animal al once, and In twenty-five minutes it had disappeared. The pig is, however, as easy object to swallow, compared with a dense pelage*of fur or feathers.

For two or three days the stomach was enlarged to almost the size of a beer keg, but on the third day th** swelling began fo diminish, and by the end of the fifth the body had retumel to Its normal diameter. Contrary to common. belief, these big snakes will generally soon learn to take their pre.y after it has been killed. We usually feed them chickens or rabbits, killed, but while still warm. We have, however, fed them with cold-storage rab- blts that were, killed In Australia. Miss Oracrç Clark, the snake charmer, says that she once had a snake that would take a chicken after it was dressed and cut Into pieces, receiving the pieces one At a tlmeT A few months ago we wanted to feed a very large pigeon to if very small Indian python, to order to save him the trouble of working over Uh* shoulder*, we cut off the wings. After gorging the bird, we offered him the wings, which he took and swallowed.

The python which swallowed the pig was received from Carl Hagenbyck, of Hamburg. Germany, In July, 1*07. He has a photograph of It In the adt o| swallowing an Indian antelope weighing over ninety ;$>ound». He had another reticulated python In the Cincinnati soological gardens swallow a

the goat that pa seed Intact were the horns, the hoofs, and » idecet of eàah rope four feet long attached to his* neck.

We recently had a big reticulated python, which pdseed the hoofs of a pig. They were shown to Dr. W. T. Horns- day, the director of the New York soological parl$, g’Jjp Identified them as the hoofs of the Bdfnean wild pig. of about forty pounds weight. A ship’s captain, In bringing over a large retl- utated python, found In the excrement

the qulHs of a Javan p*»rcupine. lying In the same relative position they occupied on the animal's body. The reptile must have begun with the head, extending the colls backward over thv body, and pressing the quills down horizontally In their natural state of rest. Evidently, this ‘ is a species of prey a snake could not disgorge.

Our small snakes feed largely on frogs, toad» and fish, the anacondas feed extensively on fish; king snakes and king cobras eat other species of snakes; but I have never known a boa m- python to take a cold-blooded animal. We often keép small snakes and Iguanas with the boas and pythons, but they never *ey notice1 of them^ In a state o( nature tbeir prey constat* largely wC small deer and Antek»i>gj, lambs, kids. pigs, other mammals weighing less thau a Ituridred pounds, and any bird that may be large enough to attract their attention. That their pr*ry do not always submit without #ght 1# shewn from the number of broken ribs that are found In the skeletons.

A recent dispatch, to the Winnipeg Telegram from Omaha. Neb., says: —

One thousand and twenty-seven' et the very best farmers ot- the central west have, within the past think months, passed " through the OmanV gateway ey route to the: Canadian Northwest. Iowa, Nebraska and otiv-f western states are the losers and they are up in arms over the bold robbery of their best citizens, but Instead <>f being able to stem the tide of emigration, the current la settling towards CTanada. wlto,an ever increasing vel*»- vity. All this section seem* to have sfone land crazy and the eyes of this 'central west are Aet on Canada west.For the first three months of 1909, the emigration from Omaha and vicinity far exceeds that of the first three months of any year since the rush to,.Canada commenced. And from present prospects this is to be the banner year of emigration from the trans-Missouri country.

Two years .ago It was thought, an 4L predicted, that the High tide had been reached and that thereafter there would be a subsidence In the number of people going from the central western states into Canada. Last yearbore out these predictions and. the ..............number fell off considerably, but with the coming of 1909, the rush again started and Is gaining momentum«My.-------- :—:..............................rrip--------------------

The Canadian government land office — ‘ in Omaha, In charge of W. V. Bennett, reports that during January 1909, 188 emigrants to Canada werfi handled through that office. In TKshfff ruary this number was Increased to 292. while during the month of March there were 547 emigrants, making a total of 1.027 who have gone from this Immediate vicinity so far this year.

The 1,027 emigrants who have gone up this year, carried with theth 153 carloads of stuff, valued at *371.160, and this does not Include the actual cash possessed by them. The Canadian \ land office here estimates that between «.MW.OOO *nd UOM.OTO will. be tsken out of Iowa and NebraMca into Western Canada this year. , *Vl

Last year 2,200 emigrants were handled through the Omaha office, their effects, of which there were 325 cars, being valued at |1,260,000.

With only three months of the year gone. Imost one-half as many emigrants have already left Omaha for Canada as went all last year. :—~4-

Alberta has captured almost- twD- thlrds of those who have this year gone from Omaha, the remainder being divided between Saskatchewan and Manitoba and ofher provinces. i

Fully* three-fmirttT* * df grants are foreign born, the vast ma- ^ Jorlty having come to Nebraska and Iowa from the countries of northern Europe. Most of these people cam# out from Europe when qufte young. They took up homesteads and have prospered. Now their children are becoming o4d enough to make homes for themselves and the oWér people see that land in the middle west has become so valuable that the young people can never hope to acquire farms. On the other hand, they see In Canada an opportunity for the young people similar to. the* opportunity which they themselves enjoyed. They have, therefore, sold off their farms here, receiving fab- -nhix prices for them, and have gone to Canada, taking with them all this money with which they will acquire tracts large enough for themselves anti their children.

These emigrants are all successful men—men whom the United States can 10 afford t„o lose—men who willmake of Canada Just what they previously made of Illinois and Towa ahd Nebraska.

Island has an' unusually choice 74-acre ranch therewhich he wants to sell quick.

Hornby Island is on the east •east, 40 miles north of Nanaimo and 15 miles southeast of Union Bay. Steamers call almost dally —the City of Nanaimo from Victoria and Vancouver or the Cowtchan from Victoria. These »C- foul splendid mail service. Residents on the Island are by no means isolated.

The farm contain», as we have said, 74 acres. Three acres are in orchard. 10- year-old trees. Two acres are in garden and small fruits. Forty acres are

/Cleared and are now in grass. The balance Is in good timber, which each

£ear Is becoming Inweas- igty valuable. On the farm are • good wells, supplying an abundance of ex

cellent water.The outbuildings consist of I

stables, 8 sheep pens with fbod racks. 1 chicken houses, 8 bams and root house and a tool house with a complete assortment of tools. A good rowboat also goes with tbs farm. So also do a cow and calf, » ewes With lambs and some farm Implements.

Now for the house. This I» a 1| story building with water tank, pipe connections and complete bathroom. There la a drawing room, dining room, kitchen, pantry, 1 bedrooms. A small quantity of furniture now in the house WlU be Included In the sale, in addition to cooking utensils and sundries.

The tact of the matter Is the present owner has been “baching" as genteelly as possible, but he has decided -at-laaLIhaLiLJgJA-'S.ie of sell out or get a wife. As the lesser of two evils he has decided to sell eut.

Seriously, this Is a splendid bug. For these 7< acres of choice land with the existing accommodation, «8.- . 000 Is a mighty low price. BveiL at this figure we might pQBMbly arrange

There Is a splendid home here for one who enjoys . retirement, with wneljrat opportunities for hunting and fishing to lead ve

"The importing of birds and animals into British Columbia: seem* to. be epidemic. Some of the germs of the diseuse have gone abroad arid at last His Honor, Lieutenant-Governor - James Dunsmulr, has caught It. Black game In to be the" governor’s hobby. He has already ordered a number of birds from Europe and these wilt be stripped early In the autumn. The autumn Is said to be the only time of year at which*these birds can be secured.

The blackcock Is a member of the grouse family, the female being known as the grëy hen and the young aw poults. The birds are vVry generally distributed over thp highland district*• if northern tm.l « entrai Europe, and In some parts of Asia. They are found on the- principal heaths In the south of England. 6ut are specially abundant In the Highland* of Scotland and where great numbers are' killed annually during the shooting season whl« h extends from August 20th to December 10th.

The bird does not occur In Ireland, and all attempts to introduce it have so far been abortive, although it thrives in the southwest of Scotland within a little over twenty miles from the Irish coast r~ k~ " 1

During summer blackcock reside chiefly eu the ground, feeding on seeds, insects and the shoots of heath. In autumn they frequent the stubble.fields, but In winter they spend a good deal of time In the trees, especially the birch and fir, the tender shoots of which then form their princliwl food.

The cock is about twice the *!■* of the hep. The males are polygamous, and during the winter and autumn they associate together feeding in docks apart from the females.

The nests are bulfrun the ground and are .compoeeil of a m «ttalks of grass The hen lays fromÛto ten eggs of a dirty yellow color ^^raled with dark brown. As soon as ^■egg* are laid the cock retires witf^s other male associates and leaves the hen to finish the work of incubation and rearing the chicks alone.

Several years ago 72 black game and capercallsie were Introduced on this island, the majority being black game. These birds do not seem to have prospered well, for they have not been heard from for some time.

■‘Fossil botany is not such a dry-ss- dust study as sottie people might sup* pose/' said Dr. Slopes, "because In the tOKsIt plants we get some of the best proofs of evolution. Most of the specimens l have brought back are certainty not teas than two million years old, and are undoubtedly missing links between Tamilles of an older age and some that.axe, living ai the present Urn*.--------------

”1 have visited many towns In Jap&if In which no other European has yet been, and then» Is scarcely a coal mine in the country down which I have not been! tn search of fossils. I was tremendously Impressed with the vast wealth of coal which Japan possesses. and which practically undeveloped."

Sir Richard Kato, K.C.. is a character in "The Case of Rebellious Busan which will be Mr. Gardiner’s first offering to the Victoria theatre guests, that will appeal strongly to members of the local bar. Sir Richard is engaged throughout the play in keeping the peace and managing the domestic affairs of several young couples, and the advice that he gives carries much weight with It, both from a moral and intellectual standpoint.
