was the remark made by a farmer

Manitoba, the capital of Western Can
ada, few days since. He was the adj
vance guard of large body who are
following him, and he has already in
vested in several farming sections for
himself and others and purposes to
take up his permanent abode In this
country. He went on to say: Hun
dreds are coming from my district
alone. / know this to be a fact for
many Of them are neighbors of mine.
The chief topic of conversation with
the farmers is the coming immigra-
ton in the spring.
THE impression general in the part
of Dakota where l live that farmers
can get from 10 to Is cents more q
bushel for wheat on the American
has not prevented people from turning
their eyes to Canada rs a place to
live in. They know they can get land
in this country which is every bit as
fertile as that in Dakota at about one
quarter the price. 1t is safe to say that
the exodus from Dakota into Canada
this year will exceed the expectations
of all Canadians"

fable reproduced not at all as it was

Luminous paint is used more in
the country than in the city, but it's

and night bells, aud keyholes and door
knobs, and it is used to paint match
boxes and various other things. 1t is
not luminous except in the dark, and so,
for sign purposes, it is used only in
such places as are not reached by the
rays from the street lamp.
Luminous paint is not phosphores-
cent, but it absorbs light in the day, or
light from electric or other artificial
lights, which it gives out in the dark;
most commonly, indoors and out, it is
used upon objects that are exposed to
daylight. The distance at which such
objects can be seen at night depends
upon their size Luminous paint is
used in the country on highway sign
boards or guidboards, for painting
posts or stones marking roadways, and
so on, and on the water it is used for
painting harbor buoys.
There is also made luminous card
board, which is used for various pur-
poses.
