LOVES THE pRAIREs.
Miss Anna Gray Ii Delight with Hes
western Canada Home.

Anna c. Gray is young lady, for
merly of Michigan. She is now
resident of Western Canada, and tbs
following published in the Brown
City (Mich.) Banner are extracts
from a friendship letter written
about March Is to one of her lady
friends in that vicinity. In this let
ter is given some idea of the climate,
social, educational and religious con-
ditions of Alberta, the beautiful land
of sunshine and happy homes. Over
one hundred thousand Americans
have made Western Canada their
home within the past five years. and
in this year upwards of $4,000 will
take up homes there.
Miss Gray took her leave for Dds
bury, Alberta, the home of her sister
and other relatives and friends on
Jan. 10 last, and after a two months
sojourn in her western prairie home,
she writes of it as follows: II know
/ shall grow to love the prairies. We
have a beautiful view of the noun
tains, and it seems wonderful 20 me
TO see home after home for miles,
and it Is becoming thickly settled all
around us. With the exception of the
last few days, which have been cold
and stormy, we have had beautiful
spring weather ever since i came.
The days are beautiful. I call this
the land of the sum- as it seems to
be always shining, the nights are
cold and frosty. On arriving here,
was so greatly surprised in every
way. Didsbury is quite a business
little town. All the people 1 meet
are so pleasant and hospitable. They
have four churches in Didsbury-the
Baptist, Presbyterian, Evangelical
and Mennonite. The Evangelicals
have just completed a handsome
church, very large and finely fur
nished, costing $500. They have a
nice literary society here, meets
every two weeks. They have fine mu-
sical talent here.

coLoRATIoN OF SILK.
That Natural Product Can Be
Controlled Artihclally.

Silk is known to be the secretion of
two glands of the silkworm alongside
of the digestive canal. These glands,
which consist of tubes in numerous
coils, terminate in the spinning-wart,
and open in a common orifice from
which the secretion, of the consisten-
cy of honey, issues forth, promptly
hardening into thread on exposure
to the air. Usually the silk is colorless
on leaving the body of the silkworm,
but sometimes it is straw yellow or
greenish. There has been dispute of
long standing between the savants as
regards the origin of this coloration.
Some claimed that the larva itself
produced the color, others ascribed it
to impurities which it acquired upon
secretion, and still others were of the
opinion that the green color of the
leaves of the mulberry tree was the
cause of the coloring. The last-named
opinion seems to be the correct one.
Latterly, Levrat and Conte fed silk
worms on mulberry leaves which had
been saturated with non-poisonous
aniline red and aniline blue. The re-
suit was that not Only the silkworms
turned red or blue, but they also Sc
creted silk of the respective colors.
injections of the above-named dye
stuffs into the anal organ of the silk
worm produced the same result.-Die

NO STRAPS IN BERLIN CARS.
when All the seats Are FilIed No Pas
senger In Permitted to En-
ter the Car.

There is no hanging on to straps in
the street cars of Berlin, even in the
rush hours. The police regulations for
bid the carrying of larger number of
passengers in car than is authorized,
and that number, which is posted con-
spicuously in every car, is the same as
the number of seats, plus few per-
mitted to be carried on the iIcct YSd
rear platforms, usually six persons
on the two platforms, says the New
York Sun.
When all the seats are filed no pas
senger is permitted to enter the car.
Standing in aisles or holding on to
straps is not permitted. Similarly on
the platforms when six passengers
have found places there.
"This regulation" says Consul Gem
eral Mason, "often separates a man
and his wife, who are not allowed to
return home by the same car, but it
has the effect that there is no over
crowding and standing or each others
feet. The conductor and motorman
are instructed to enforce the regula-
tion and they do it without fear or
favor The conductor is. in this coun-
try. clothed with the authority of q
policeman on board his car, and can
put off any passenger who misbehaves.
This is probably the meat of the whole
matter. The conductor is municipal
officer within the prescribed limits of

The four greatest needs of Greece
grain, coal, iron and lumber-are the
ones which the United States would
best be able to supply.
The yearly gross earnings of the
United States Steel corporation are ap-
proximately equal to the gross revenue
received by the United States govern
ment.
Seventy French firms manufacture
motor cars and their combined output
last year was Il, 200 cars. The industry
employed 10000 workme n, earning on
an average $3.50 year each.
Large deposits of stone suitable for
lithographic purposes have been dis
covered and opened in Thessaly. Greek
experts report that this stone is far SUI
perior in quality to the best litho-
graphic stone heretofore known in Eu-

The membership of the United Mine
Workers of America, as shown from
the number who paid the per capita
tax during the month of March, is
larger than it has ever been in the his
tory of the organization. Last year it
reached $4,000, while this year it is
264,439.
Peat fuel in freight locomotives in
Sweden has hauled the maximum load
the cost being about the same as with
English coal. To avoid the expense of
an extra fireman, however, the peat is
now mixed with an equal weight Of
coal, and the mixture has proven so
satisfactory that it is to be tried on pas
senger trains.
The shape of the rudder of a vessel
seems to be of more Importance than
has been generally supposed. Expert
ments in Scotland by j. Foster King
indicate that the rectangular form has
decided advantages. as it presents a
larger surface at the loda line under
all conditions and requires smaller
stock and working gear than curved
shapes. With sufficient area the mar
row blade is as effective as the broad
one. while it can be set more rapidly.
