Canada has made a display at the Worlds
Fair which adma:=uiy serves its purpose OF
illustrating the natural and developed re-
eOurces of her own vast territory. No de-
partment of the Exposition, says the Chi
eago Herald. has been sighted by Canada.
Each big building contains compre-
hensive exhibit. installed according to the
best methods that could be employed to
make IT attractive. Possessed of resources
80 nearly similar to those OF this country
that bat slight distinctions can be drawn,
Canada has been animated by the spirit OF
competition more keenly perhaps, than any
other Nation represented at Jackson Park.
She has given special attention to the display
of her agricultural products, upon which she
brides herself most. She has not neglected,
either the treasures hidden beneath her
broad domain, can be seen in the Mining
Building.
Great care has been taken by the Dominion
official to properly present the display in the

At the west corner Of the court, Ontario,

handsome pavilion made entirely of cereals
and grasses from the Ontario Government
Agricultural College at Gelph, is admired by

constitute a beautiful trophy which rises to

west of the central aisle. extending back
under the west gallery. Canadian flags and
bunting give gaia day appearance to this
most interesting section. Upon entering the
large central court the visitor is Immediately
interested By the great pyramids of gold
blocks representing the yield of that precious
metal throughout Canada since it was first
discovered in the far western province Of
British Columbia. The total yield of gold
from British Columbia alone is estimated at
something over $50, 900 900, while across the
continent the surf beaten province of Nova
Scotia on the Atlantic has produced from her
gold deposits since 1864 over 81, $40 900. In
the banner province Of Ontario extensive de-
posts of gold quartz are being worked,
largely by American capitalists. and here the
output is estimated at nearly 81, O00. 600 an
nually.
The samples of coal from British Column
bia show the excellent quality, both anthra-
cite and bituIninous, of the inexhaustible
coal fields of the Pacific province. Black
diamonds are also taken out in large quaint

The showing Of nickel and nickel ore from

why Such a Disaster Occurred.

To THE EDITOR oP THE SuS-Sir: The VIC
toria is the third ironclad OF the British navy
which has been sunk by colliding with sister
ship. These deplorable accidents might have
been avoided IL the Lords OF the Admiralty
had wisely changed the regulations governing
the distances between ships sailing In close
order. which have been in force since 1910.
Since that time the speed OF steamships has
been increased from fourteen to twenty-five
knots per hour. and the gross weiG hit Of battle
ships Is 20 to $50 per cent heavier than in
1865. Hence 1t Is that the I'm pact OF n M dern
battle shin is certain to send ship with which

lations should limit the close order distance
to ono knot, which is short distance when

They Believe Only in Science.

We are not surprised that the Rev. Mr..
SMITH startled many of his Presbyterian
flock in Fifty-seventh street last Sunday
by declaring to them. in substance. that the
question whether the Bible is Divine or
human Is question of fact. which must be
determined by scientific demonstration.
and not a question OF faith and dogma, TO
be determined by the Church.
That Is what no meant when he said that
the judgment Of the General Assembly in the
case OF DR.. BRIGGS "can In no way settle
the matter" that sit must be settled at the
bar of the court OF final resort. the court OF
the worlds scholarship" and that as
there were not five men in that Assembly
who were competent to judge of the mat
ter" the decision rendered was worth
less. He pays no moro respect to the As
sembly's opinions as to the Bible than
II they were opinions as to question
of science. which only special knowledge Is
capable OF deciding. He treats these Pres
byterian ministers and elders as ignora-
muses.. who had the impudence to criticise
and condemn a man to whom they ought to
have gone humbly for instruction. When
Dr. BnIads talks about the authorship of
the Bible and its authenticity. he has the
right to speak on the subject. according to

1t did not detract an iota from the literary
competence OF any OF these gentlemen. nor
from his ueefulhess to tho community,
that he had pronounced political opinions.
He was the moro respected for having

Nothing could be moro preposterous than
the notion that distinguished man OF let
ters, worthy to figure In the list that we
have given. would warp or prostitute his
talents because he had received diplomat
ic appointment. or had conceived the hope
OF gaining one. Equally foolish is 1t to sup

Is built. and cut OF. SO to speak, his prospeii-
ty at the root, by distortinG or discoloring

That would be. indeed. to sacrifice the sub

The simple fact IL that. as England
has become moro democratic. the BRIT
ish Government has awakened to the
truth. long recognized in republics Ike
Tho United States and France. that IL
t!tular distinctions or honors OF an oiti-

reaching is the influence exerted by the
makers OF newspapers In democracy: OF
such transCendent moment are the func-
tons they essay to exercise: that he who
discharges them with credit is deserving OF

We have often seen in Asia and Africa
how the resistance Of native potentates to

large territorial losses or entire subjuga-

esting to find whether the outcome Ia much
