Canadian Indians, Faast.

DR.. Henry M. Ami has returned to
Ottawa, Canada, from Quebec prov
ince, where he has spent several
months examining the most recent
geological formations of the st. Law
renee valley. The extent and useful
ness Of the various claps, sands and
gravel were studied and mapped out.
The glacial deposits Of the ice age
were thoroughly examined, and a. spe-
cial study made of the fossil clays and
boulders, many valuable specimens of
which were obtained and are in the
museum. While at River du Loup, DR..
Ami came on a gigantic bed of Clam
shells, which are the remains of many

Using OIL Saves Forests.

Oil as fuel Is coming into use in
California as a means of saving the
forests. The drain on the forests for
fuel in recent years has been alarming.
Wherever cC'l was not available cord
wood vas t. e fuel and this was par
t%icularly the case with all the interior
industries in parts of the state at a
distance from %seaports and other
sources of coal supply. For these, as
we'll as for domestic uses, oil has been
found to be a good fuel and more eco
nomical. In the southern part Of the
state it is already employed and par
ticularly in smelling ores. The smelt-
ing establishments of Shasta county
alone have been using up something
like 10000 cords of wood a year. The
number amid size of these establish
ments have been increasing annually,
and the tremendous drain on the for
ests may be imagined. There Is a
feeling that o the discovery and ap-
~plication of oil may ave the forests.

VALUABLE CANADIAN CATTLE.
A Thoroughly In-and-in-Bred stock

A Thoroughly In-and-in-Brsd stock
From Brittany and Normandy.
Since the entry of French-C Canadian
cattle In the dairy tests at the Pam
American exposition at Buffalo, many
inquiries have been made about the
breed. Many people thought that
Canada had what might be called q
native breed, like the so-called ma
tlves of the United States, made up
by crossing the progeny of early Inn
portations until 1t would be difficult
to tell what blood predominates. The
French settlers who first came to
Canada were natives of Brittany and
Normandy, France. The first cattle
in Quebec, in 1920 or thereabouts,
were brought, no doubt, from those
two districts, and they have been kept
nearly distinct for over $50 years, and
in-and-in breeding has been resorted
TO to fix In a sure manner the charao-
teristics of the breed. Thus they have
much Of the appearance Of the Brit
tany cattle of the day. 1t may be
noted here that the French Canadian,
the Jersey, Guernsey, Kerry and Brit
tany lows are all supposed to come
from the same origin, and the Brit
tany is usually allowed to be the
older stock, the different breeds be-
ing modified by climate, care and per-
haps individual characteristics of ami
mails bred from, until they vary from
the 500-pound Kerry to the Guernsey
almost as large as the Shorthorn. The
three qualities claimed for the French
Canadian are hardness, frugality and
richness of milk. AS they are small,
the ows averaging about 700 pounds
each, they do not require large
amounts of food. In form they are
something like the Jersey, but in color
most frequently a solid black, or black
with brown stripe on the back and
around the muzzle, or brown with
black points, brown brindle, or wen
yellowish.

For years Buffalo's claim to the

mated. 1t now adds another name to
its list, which will probably not be
disputed-the Rainbow city, in defer
.ence to the exposition. Chicago dur
ing the period of the Worlds Fair
was known as the White city, In ac-
acknowledgement of the staff on its fair
buildings, but the title did not sur
vive the close of the fair, and 1t has
reverted to its former name, Garden

referred to as the Windy city. st.

SEVERE TESTS FOR STEEL.
Various Kinds of the Metal That Re-
quire Different Treatments

Various Kinds of the Metal That Re-
quire Different Treatments.
1t is a popular idea that steel Is
a hard, polished metal like a dagger
or a razor and capable of carrying a
cutting edge, but there are steels of
various kinds that do not possess the
qualities mentioned. Structural steel,
for example, such as beams, Orders
and rough-rolled bars, generally has q
much higher tensible strength, elias
ITCHY and tenacity than iron, and yet,
in physical constitution and external
appearance it differs but sli htly from
1t. OF the two bars, one iron and the
other steel, put through the same rolls
at the anne time, not even an expert
could distinguish one from the other
IL they were laid side by side. More
over. careful analysis fails to dis
cover the line of actual departL e be-
tween steel and iron in the lower
grades of each metal or where the
meta commences to be steel. so to
speak, and stops being iron. But as
between the two metals, iron and
Sleel, there is vast ulleTeHCe Ill IA.0lT
endurance and ability to stand severe
work, and modern engineers have a
very great advantage over their pre-
deccssors of half a century ago in the
possession of 1t. In modern OPEN
hearth and other process steels the
amount of fatigue or continuous re-
sistance to crucial strains of long
duration which they will endure Is
simply acknowledgement laboratory or
test machine strains, but the down.
right pounding and ~iogging of daily
work, which is far more serious than
any testing machine can deliver. This
last sets up a certain stress in a
straight line, gradually increasing up
to failure under it, but the duty i'm
posed upon steel by daily work in a
t;gh-speed engine, for example, is not
only to resist tensile strains, but tor
sional and traverse burdens at one and
the same time.

DIAMOND IN BACK YARD.
Valuable Gem Found in Alabama Under
Odd Circumstances.

Ouu Circums tanCes.
Biologists have just about made up
their minds that diamonds will never
be found in this country in any con-
siderable quantities. Every o and
then a gem of this kind turns up in
an accidental sort of way in one place
or another and suggestions of diamond
fields offer themselves to imaginative
people. Why, it is urged, should not
the United States, SO rich in almost
everything else, possess this kind of
mineral wealth, hidden away IN some
unsupported locality? Such a thing 10
possible, but unlikely. G~eologically
nearly the whole of this country has
been pretty well explored, and there
does lot seem to be any prospect that
1t will ever rival South Africa as q
producer of diamonds. A few dollars

ably expect as ar output. The only
diamond Of considerable size that we
produced last year weighed foul and

under ratner odd circumstances. 1t
turned up in a backyard garden where
some earth had been put in to fill up q
few holes. Presumably the gem was
contained originally in this earth, q
portion of which was placed close to
the house, where water dripped upon
it from the o~verhanging roof. BY and
by a little girl came out of the house
into the garden. 1t had been raining
hard, and she noticed near the steps q
particularly bright pebble, which had
been washed clean by the rain. Secur-
ing 1t she took it to her mother, and
later 1t was identified as a real dia-
mond of remarkably pure water. Ex-
ports state that it would yield a cut
stone Of n karat and a half or posi-
bly, more.-Philadelphia Saturday Ev-

The Passing of Spain.

From all indications the present
upheavals and riotous performance
an Spain will eventually result in
her downfall, which will mean the
passing Of Spain as a kingdom.
The age of monarchical govern
ments has passed, and those that yet
exist do so surrounded by such cir
c%umstances that indicate that it is
only a question of time when they
shall a to exist. Spain once
ranked among the foremost nations
of the civilized world, but with the
loss of her possessions and the re.
turn Of several thousand troops to
be mustered out within her portals,
with nothing for them to do,
would naturally cause riots and
social u~pheavals. The predictions
are that the youthful Alfonso will
never rule over Spain, but that the
once proud kingdom is soon to be
no more as such, and great will be
her struggle for existence in the
world again, which can only be as
a republic.

Lithographic stone Is Scarce.

An important industry is the pro-
duction of photographic stone, and up
to the present time our main sources
of supply have been limestone quar-
ries at Solnhofen, Bavaria, Germany.
These quarries have been supplying
the United States with stone for many
years, but are said to be becoming un-
satisfactory, both in regard to quality
and dependability of supply. What
ever the cause the orders for German
stone by firms in this country have
not been expeditiously filled. These
facts are tending to stimulate the
search for good deposits of this stone
