Americznizins Canada.

IL seems that some Canadians are
fearful that the migration OF Ameri-
cans TO the upocoupied farming lands
Of the western part OF the Dominion
may introduce so powerful an Ameri
can element into the population that
Canada may be brought distinctly
under American influence foi this
fear. however. there is little ground.
While the number Of Americans who
have made their homes in the Moth
west Territories Of Canada in recent
years is large with respect to that
section. it is after all small in com
pArison with the whole population of
the Dominion. Canada has altogether
something like 5000. 600 inhabitants.
in comparison with which . hundred
thousand or even two hundred thou
sand Americans settled in the re.
mote Northwest Territories would be
of little more tnan local consequence.
The population of country must
be very small and Immigration ex.
traordinarily large for the immigrants
to gain the ascendency. In the
course Of many years a relatively
small number Of immigrants may
exert a notable influence upon the
sentiment and the customs of the peo-
pie among whom they make their
homes. but their descendants will
ultimately be lost among the mass of
the native inhabitants. Thus the
Germans have to a notable degree
affected American customs in several
particulars, but the descendants of
these immigrants become thorough
Americans, and in the course of two
or three generations practically all
knowledge Of the German language
Is lost.
So, in all probability. the A:neri.
can descendants who make their
homes in Canada Will become Cana
diaus in most important particulars
Even il Canada were admitted into
the American union, it probably
would be many years. If not many
generations, before its inhabitants
would lose all the peculiarities that
now distinguish them from Ameri-
cans. Denver Republican

Animal. That Ar. D.d Sailor.

Animals That Are Had sailoFs.
A French scientist has made inter
esting observations as to the love o.
different Wild animals for the sea.
The polar bear, he says. is the only
one that takes to the sea and is quite
jolly when aboard ship. All others VIC
lently resent a trip on water and votdf-
erously give vent to their feelings until
seaslckness brings silence.
The tiger suffers most Of all. The
mere sight of a ship makes him uncom-
Portable, and when on board he whines
pitifully. his eyes water continually,
and he rubs his stomach with his terri
BILE paws.
Horses are bad sailors and often per-
ish on sea voyage. Oxen are heroic
in their attempts not to give way to
sickness. Elephants do not like the
eea. but are amenable to medical treat
ment. A good remedy in their case Is q
bucketful of hot water containing three
and half pints Of whisky and seven
ounces of quinine.

RED GUM WOOD.
Long Neglected, It Is Now Being Made
of Use as Lumber.

of Use as Lumber.
From the birmingham Age Herald
Because 1t warps and stains in seasoning
red gum was long neglected. but now %
per cent of the barrels and boxes made in
the south are made of red gum. The wood
Is also shipped to Europe. where 1t is made
into furniture. and it Is also used there in
paving blocks. When steamed it is easily
bent and it thus becomes. available for
carriage rims and carriage wood stock.
Ii has been found that lumber from logs
that have been in water six weeks stains
very little. and steam kilning prevents both
warping and staining. The timber Is thor
oughly soaked in live steam for forty-eight
to seventy-two hours. and is then dried by
steam radiation. The boards are then air
dried from two to three months. This
method enables lumbermen to supply a good
grade OF red gum. and this Is why the use
Of the once despised wood Is extending.
The bureau of forestry has timber-test
ing laboratory at Lafayette. Ind. and red
gum has there been subjected to various
tests II has there been demonstrated that
red gum has a high degree of strength. 1t
is almost wholly free from knots. and a
ioist of red gum. 1t has been ascertained
will carry as great a load as a joist Of
North Carolina pine.
At present its use Is chiefly confined to
narrow boards, but IL in larger sizes warp
ing and twisting can be prevented the wood
will come into general use. supplanting in
many cases hickory. oak and ash.
The bureau of forestry says that swampy
bottom lands should be kept planted in red
gum trees. The tree is rapid grower, is
not subject to fire waste. and 1t Is probable
that no crop on lands subject TO overflow
will pay better. for it is already well estab-
l:shed that red gum will soon become COM
mercially valuable. 1t will have to serve to
lengthen out our stock of hardwoods.
