When Charles alackay was visiting
Lord Lytton at Kncbworth, he was i'm.

with the beauty Of the library. He re.
marked to the novelist that in such a
cheerful room among so many books
any author could get through a vast
amount Of labor.
II cannot write so wen in the IL

other place Take stroll with me, and
viii show you nay favorite study"
They went for considerable dis
lance to the shore Of an artificial lake
in Knebworth park, and there stood a
boathouse. A small boat was drawn
upon one side Of It. and on the other.
near small window, stood a chair
and common deal table, on which
was a pewter inkstand.
Pulling open the drawer, Lord Lytton
showed his guest a good supply OF pa
per, pens and a blotting book.
II can write more freely here" he
said, ethan in the grand library. I will
tell you how the habit grew. When I

got away with that corned beef and

finished, he laid down his knife and
fork with a funny sigh of satisfaction,
put one hand on the stewards shoulder
and said:

THE USE OF STAMPS.
Enough Issued In One Year by the
United States to GirdIe the
Globe Three Times

When stamp is placed on a letter it
represents one of 60 made for each
man, woman and child in the United
States. Enough stamps will be issued
this year to supply each individual in
the United States with at least 60
stamps each. Distributed among the
population of the entire globe, they
supply each person with postage
for not less than three letters. Placed
side by side in a continuous line the
total issue would girdle the entire
earth three times, forming varie-
gated ribbon around it nearly three
inches in width. If spread out in the
same manner across the United States
the stamps would form a paper side
walk from New York to San Francisco
over three feet wide. Pasted into a
stamp collectors book of the conven-
tional size, the issue for the year would
half fill 900, 900 volumes, which, placed
one upon another, would form solid
column over 25 miles high. If It's true,
a Edward Everett Hale says, that the
United States postal system is the
greatest of popular educators, these
figures will serve to show the extent
of Uncle Sans present service as a
school-teacher.

CIVIL ENGINEERING.
It's Progress in the Nineteenth Gen.
tury Has Been Truly Mar
veIous.

Mr.. Charles Hawksley in his presiden-
tial address to the British Institute of
Civil Engineers reviewed the progress
of civil engineering in the nineteenth
century, reports a London paper. In
1911 mail coaches took Al hours for the
journey from London to Holyhead.
Even in 1897 the journey took 81 hours.
The first railway for passengers came
into service in 1925. During the CEN
tury about $5,OO0,O00, 900 was invested
in building railways. In 1910 the total
number of lighthouses in the British
isles was 169; in 1900 the number was
1,100 The early lighthouses were
lighted by oil lamps. The oil lamps of
to-day have a power of 1.S00 candles
and the electric arc gives the light of
millions.
In 1919 the Savannah, propelled part
~ by steam, partly by sail, trayersed
the Atlantic in 26 days. In 1888 the
voyage was made under steam alone
and required II days. The voyage to-
day is accomplished in six days or less.
The largest ships formerly displaced
less than $500 tons and now displace
$4,000 tons or more. The Oceanic's ton
mage is 17,274, the Celtic's is 20,904.C
gas was first used for lighting houses
in 1897. The first telegraph line dates
from 1898; the first submarine cable
(Doyer-Calais) from 1851. Electricity
was first generated by steam engines
in 1881.
Such are a few of the statistics of
engineering progress during the cen
tury. They show a progress toward
comfort; and happiness is, more or less,
q by-product of comfort, so that we

wood with which to cook his dinner.
The former senator is perforce his own
man-of-all-work. His appearance in
these small duties is even more pathet-

evening as regularly as the neighbor-
ing whistle blows, he appears upon
the streets in faded garb Of ancient
cut, bending upon his cane, looking
neither up nor aside, recognizing no
one, doing his few errands, again to
return from his self-chosen isola tion
of the crowded streets to the greater
seclusion of his home. He bears ever
a hunted and haggard look

A diving bell was used some years
ago in the neighborhood of Naples as
dining-room. The table was hung
by cords from the roof of the bell,
which, suspended a few feet above the
water, was submerged while the va
rious courses, of which there were 12,
were being partaken by the half dozen
guests. The dinner, which was cooked
on board a large barge moored near at
hand, was transferred to the novel
dining-room when the latter was
drawn above the surface during the
intervals between the courses.

FOUND AMERICANS BUYING
LAND AT SASKATCHEWAN,
WESTERN CANADA.
a Michigan Farmer Visits Saskatoon
and Is Well Pleased.

Mr.. S. X. Lent was a delegate sent
from the farmers of Allegan County,
Michigan, to Western Canada, to re-
port on the prospects for successful
settlement. His report is as follows:
I went from Winnipeg to Edmonton.
thence east one hundred miles by wag,
on. l found the country in that vicin'
ity a rich, black loan, varying from 12
inches to 3 feet deep; the crops are.
simply something enormous; wheat
and oats by actual measurement often
standing feet in height. have been
q farmer for 40 years, and consider my
self a fair judge of the yield of grain,
and | saw wheat that would yield so
bushels per acre, and oats that would
yield 100 bushels per acre; not one
alone but a good many. AS for root
crops and garden truck, in no country
have l ever seen their equal for all
kinds except corn and tomatoes; the
nights being too cool for these to
ripenwell. As a stock country it has
no equal. East of Edmonton, on the
head waters of the Vermillion River, [
saw hay meadows containing from 10
to 100 acres, the grass standing 4 feet
high, and would often cut to tons to
the acre. From Edmonton / passed
through some fine locations, namely,
Wetaskiwin, Lacopbe and other
points.
From Macleod 7 went to Regina,
thence to Prince Albert. PAT miles
north of the main line. For the first
so miles is fine farming country, but
the next hundred miles is more of
stock country. Then at Saskatoon,
Rosthern and Duck Lake I found some
very fine farming country, so good
that I found party of Americans
from Minnesota buying land for them
selves-one party buying 10 sections,
and the other 20 sections of land for
themselves which they proposed to
improve at once.
7 have Travelled over 90 different
States and Territories in our Union.
and never in my life time have I ever
seen such magnificent crops and es-
pecially as fine a stock country.
