About the first of February, 1899, I

it dropped off, but shortly after another

spite of the large number of remedies l
tried, it would not heal. / then went to

LARGER SCHOOL BUILDINGS RE-
OuIRED.

Owing to the recent large influx Of
population into Western Canada it has
become absolutely necessary in many
parts Of Manitoba, Assiniboia, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta to increase the
school accommodation. In may places
buildings have been erected that are
only half-occupied This is perhaps as
good evidence as will be found not
only Of their satisfaction with their
present school system and their con-
fdence that it will remain as it is. but
also Of their firm belief in the future
expansion of the country, in increased
immigration, and it further indicates
that they have little fear that the well
established rate of births in civilized
communities will not be maintained
there
The free homestead laws and the
cheap railway lands offer great induce
ments, which are opening up the new
settlements. Agents Of the Govern
ment of Canada are actively at work
in different portions of the States for
the purpose of giving information to
possible settlers, and advertisements
are now appearing in large number
of papers, giving the names and loca-
lions of these agents.

AnAlyZirlg
q Meteor
sgFsgssgss

Prof. George p Merrill, curator OF
the department of geology of the Ma
tional Museum, who is engaged in
making a chemical analysis of the
specimen known as Ardmore meteorite.
has recently issued a statement con-
corning stony meteorite which fell
near Felix, Perry county, Ala, on May
10, 1900, says the Washington Times.
This meteorite has many points of re-
semblance to the Ardmore meteorite,
Which latter stone contains an element
so difficult of classification as to lead
many scientists to believe that Prof.
Merrill is on the point Of discovering
new mineral. Prof. Merrill. however,
does not share this belief, thinking that
under further examination the battling
constituent will prove to be known
quantity. For the details concerning
the fall of the Alabama meteor, as well
as for securing the specimen itself, the
National Museum is indebted to J. w.
Coleman, who visited the locality and
obtained the statements of eye wit
nesses. Prof. Merrill describes the gen
eral appearance Of the state as follows:

the information being obtained by Mr..
Coleman from negroes-the state at the

other small piece was found, but has

there was, was never found. The stone
as obtained by Mr.. Coleman, was
broken into five pieces. which weighed
