THE "coMING NATION"

Now the American immigration
question in Canada has reacho., a eli
max. 1t takes only three years for an
immigrant to earn a vote in Canada,
and $4,000 former American voters
will soon come into their Canadian
suffrage. There are in round mum
bers 100000 males more than 1S years
of age in western Canada who former
ly lived in the United States, 100000
of whom are old enough to vote. There
are now between 100000 and 100000
settlers, with possible voting pop
ulation of 100000, a high per centage
because many cattlemen without fam.
lilies are emigrating from Montana
and Wyoming. By the end of 1905
the American vote in the Canadian
West will be overwhelming.
In eastern Canada thousands of peo.
pie believe that this invasion means
the ultimate annexation of Western
Canada by the United tates. It is
called "the coming nation. The

THERMoMETER's ORIGIN.

According to Sir Samuel Wilkes,
Fahreheit constructed his thermom-
eter from one made many years be-
fore by Sir Isaac Newton. "In the
transactions of the Royal Society of
1901 will be found the paper written
by Sir Isaac Newton who was at that
time secretary to the society," says
Sir Samuel. "He invented the instru
ment for measuring the degre of heat
in fluids by taking tube and filling
il with linseed oil On this he mark
ed the freezing point as zero by put
ting the tube in ice, and in the same
way he marked the point when placed
in boiling water. The very awkward
scale which we now use is evidently
that of Newton: for, the decimal sys-
TEN moi being then in use, he took
the number of twelve to denote the
heat of the body. This he found. and
made it the starting point of his
scale both upward and downward. It
was some time after this that. fer
convenience's sake the degrees were
divided in two. and thus the body
heat was twenty-fOur above zero and
the boiling point ffiv-three. When,
many years afterwards, Fahrenheit
made his instrument and used mer-
curry instead of linseed Gil, which was
far more convenient: he again divid-
ed these degrees into four, so if the
number be multiplied accordingly, we
have 212 for the boiling point and
ninety-siX fer the body heat Fab.
renheit. finding that he could get a
lower temperature than freezing,
made this point zero. which brought
the numer eight of Newtons to thirty
two of Fahrenheit In this way the
Thermometer was constructed AWk-
ward as the scale is, yet it is histori
cally interesting as having been made
by our own great philosopher and
formed on the basis of the heat of
the human dy''-Exchange

SHE WAS THE OTHER KIND.
Not One of Those Old Ladies Who
Frown Upon the Travellers

There were but few of us in the pas

apolis, and opposite me sat woman
about 40 years of age. From her Sc
temperance fanatic, and a person who
would scorn the slightest favor at the
bands of fellow traveller. Great was
my surprise, therefore, at the end Of
a couple of hours, when she leaned
forward and queried:
young man might I ask if you have
any peppermint essence in your grip"
| replied that l was sorry | hadn't
and she resumed her bolt upright posi-
ton and nothing further was said for
quarter of an hour. Then she kind
ly asked:
Young man, do you carry the
means to make a glass of lemonade
when you travel?"
that l didn't. but as a matter of fact
| didn't care fer lemonade. She said
it was just as we'll, and another Is
minutes passed Then she sweetly
said:
Young man, do you carry bottle
Of milk or cold tea?"
Never ma'am."
DO you not carry any sort of bot

"Well-er-you know"
young man." she continued as she
looked me straight in the eye. "is it
wine or whisky?'
Wine, ma'am."
"And I've sat here nearly three
hours and you haven't offered me any!

AS I sat down beside her she said

THE POWER OF IMAGINATION.

Imagination in some people is ex-

friend about the power of 1t.

later the two men were walking down
town together when the doctor handed
his friend a cigar.

brand frequently makes me sick But

The other smiled 'It won't make
me SICK" he said. He lighted the cigar.
Just as they were about to part, the
doctor said
"Will, you're looking pale around
the gills. What's wrong?"
FRANKLY" said the other ''that
cigar has made me slightly ILL I nev-
er smoked as strong a weed"
It was the doctors turn to smile.

A VACATION THAT
PAID THIS BOY.

The boy was IL years old.
All that he knew of life was that
there were nine months of school with
a lot of play and no school.
This vacation was to be a little diff
ferent, but the boy didn't know it.
Come on, son, need your help"
said father one evening after his own
days work was done. II want this
dirt carried up to our fiat"
The boy opened his mouth wide.
His father wanted him to carry bas-
kets of earth up three flights of steps.
There was a queer feeling of resent
ment all about inside of him.
81 can't carry dirt" he said.
Never too late to learn said
father good naturedly. "Here. you
take the lighter basket"
Up the stairs went the boy. The
air was close and he got hot and
breathless.
Down he came again. The dirt had
i to be dug up and shoveled into the
baskets. He grew hotter and the
sweat began to trickle down his back
'The boys are playing ball. I'm
going over.' he said at last with i'm
, patience. 81 can't shovel dirt"
/ "All right, old boy" said father
but I'm disappointed in you. I had
| expected to find you able to stick to
thing. I'd counted on your help
| too. But It's all right. Go ahead and
play ball
| The boy washed his hands and went
over into the next yard. 1t was the
| first time he ever remembered of feel
ng uncomfortable when playing ball
| Tonight it wasn't much much fun.
| Pretty soon he left the boys and
went up stairs to his mother BY and

sleeves and went at the shoveling

| The boy sweat and puffed He

At last the work was done. Father
[ and son washed themselves and got
ready for supper.
After supper when the father had
stretched himself out for a pleasant
hour with his newspaper the boy
came to him.
II guess, father" he said with an
air half ashamed and yet of new man.
| liness, II guess it was a good thing
for me to do something that I didn't
want to do"
Father held out his hand. The boy
grasped it in strong grip.

Mr.. Serves, during his stay here, has
lowered the record of the course by
making the eighteen holes in seventy

tremendous handicap imposed upon
him. Mr.. Ives, the local champion,
played in excellent form, but like
