BANKS OF CANADA GAIN; PEo-
PIES SAVINGS BIG.

Record OF Financial institutions for
the Year 1905 shows Remarkable
Prosperity All over the Dominion.
Ottawa, Ontario, March 1.-TAe year
which has just closed has been one
most satisfactory and progressive with
the financial institutions Of Canada,
and the business of the chartered banks
reflects the unprecedented prosperity
enjoyed throughout the country during
the year 1905.
The increased demands made upon
the banks Of the Dominion by the COM
mercial and agricultural expansion OF
the year were provided for without the
monetary disturbances sometimes noted
In the United States. Whatever opin-
ions may be held as to the composition
OF the Canadian banking system, 1t is
claimed that its flexible currency has
many ~commendable features, and with
out which the last few months Of the
year must have produced a money
suits. 1t Is felt that q wider field Of
credit in the Dominion is needed, and
consequently the capital OF many exist
ing banking institutions has been in
creased and several new banks are in
process OF organization.
The chartered banks Of Canada to-
day enjoy the confidence of the general
public to a greater extent than ever be-
fore. The total deposits OF the people
la these institutions last year were
$522,3lT,0 00, which shows an increase
Of owe S56,000,000 for the year. In
actual money in bank probably no otn-
er country in the world. comparatively
speaking, can make a better showing
than Canada.
The total deposits OF the Canadian
people In the government savings
banks, in special savings institutions,
and in the chartered banks alone
amounted last year to the enormous
sum of $609,454,000. This represents
an average credit balance OF over 500
per head of the population of the Do
minion, and ii is stated that the only
other country in the world that APP
~proaches this record is Denmark, where
the average credit balance is about
5000 per capita. The above figures,
however, do not comprehend moneys
deposited with private bankers, loan
companies, mortgage corporations and
trust companies, or what is boarded up
In secret hiding places.
The annual report Of the Dominion
finance department. just issued to the
public, shows a surplus in the Domln-
ion treasury for the fiscal year of ST.
1863, ZOO, and refers TO the remarkable
increase in the public during
the year.

gives to the United States navy one
OF the most powerful and destructive
sea weapons in the world. This new
submarine missile, owing TO the terrific
pace IL q sustain while in flight
through the water, and the long dis
lance 1T will travel. is to take the place
of the Whitehead torpedo formerly in
USE
The superior strategic advantages of
the Bliss-Leavitt turbine in naval war
fare oyer all other types now in ex-
istence, are Its surprising speed and
longer range. Four thousand yards is
the extreme distance II will travel, $500
yards being the guaranteed contract
range; AT 1920 yards the speed is 36
knots. The turbine has an excess
speed gain of more than 25 per cent,
while going double the distance of the
latest Whitehead. which has a speed OF
only % knots and a range of 1000
yards. The United States government
has authorized several millions OF doll
lars TO be expended for the purchase
and construction OF 400 torpedoes of
this type, which in the future will be
the only one used in the navy.

A Novel Bowling Alley.

from the street halfway journal.
There have been several types or
bowling alleys invented to do away
with the services Of the boy who sets
up the pins, but that here TO be de-
scribed differs materially from any of
them. 1t is intended principally for
use in connection with street railway
parks, and its earning capacity In this
respect is said to be remarkable. At
10 cents n game one alley will earn
$3.50 an hour. This win show a gross
earning of 1920 AN hour for four alleys,
the number one attendant can operate
to the best advantage.
In this device the balls are returned
by gravity and the pins reset by the
bowler pulling a lever,
Suspended above the alley at the far
end is a curtain, having pointers ar
ranged thereon TO provide an objective
point for the delivered ball. Passing
under this curtain, the pointers serv-
ing as guides for the bowler, the ball,
delivered with sufficients force, passes
On TO a curved runway, composed of a
series of vertically disposed Stats,
spaced sufficiently far apart to receive
the ball and guide it ~upwardly and for
wardly.
Hinged balls, suspended from a rod

have their lower ~crosspieces hanging
across the path of the ball as II passes
forwardly from the curved runway.
These balls ave upward extensions.
designed to engage and knock down the
hinged pins when Il bail or balls is or
are struck. A cushion receives the
Knocked down pins. After striking n
or more of these balls the ball is then
received into an open-ended box, whose
bottom is covered with sound-deaden-
ing material. The front wall Of the
Don is provided with a cushion and a
cushion IS arranged along the upper
rear edge of the box. The direction of
rotation of the ball. in it's travel along
the alley and the curved guideways. is
such that when II strikes the first cush-
ion the direction of rotation is counter
to it's momentum, and, unless the ball
is delivered with considerable force,
this counte rotation is sufficient to
overcome the momentum, and onse-
quently the ball will not strike the sec
ond cushion, but will be arrested on
the first and moved rearwardly down
an incline which terminates in a later
ally-inclined runway and delivers the
ball on an inclined runway. At the
players end of the alley this runway Is
provided with an inwardly inclined
track, ending In a stall for the balls,
placing them within convenient reach.

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1s43 she married Isaac Pinkham,
q builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good cid fashioned days il
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in. a physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and ex-
p~erience many of them gained a won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinki,am took a great interest
In the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature SO
bountifully provides In the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; SO, If we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cur the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
IL was her pleasure to search these ont,
and prepare simple and effective medi-
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was a rare combina-
ton Of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia K. Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with.
out money and without price, as a
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when the Centen-
nial year dawned it found their prop.
erty swept away. Some other source
Of income had TO be found.
At this point Lydia K. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.
The three sons and the daughter,
with their mother, combined forces to

Million Bushels of Wheat Wasted.

During 1905" writes George r
Metcalfe. NJ. E., in the March Techni-
cal World Magazine, the railroads OF
the United States ordered new loco
motives to the number Of $500. togeth-
er with $500 passenger cars and 340,-
900 freight cars. These last figures give
a good idea of the relative importance
OF passenger and freight traffic to a
large railroad. The rail mills started
the new year with orders for $780,
600 tons or their books.
I'm spite Of these great orders and
in spite OF the best efforts of the rail-
road managers, pile after pile OF thou
sands OF bushels of corn has been
heaped up on the ground in Iowa,
Kansas and Nebraska, for want of
storage room or transportation facili-
ties; while in North Dakota alone over
a million bushels of wheat has rotted
on the ground for want of freight cars
to move It."

argued that the medicine which WAS
SO good for their woman friends and
neighbors was equally good for tho
women of the whole world.
The Pinkhams had no money, and
little credit. Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were stepped on the stove,
gradually filling a gross of bottles
Then came the question of selling
it, for always before they had given
it away freely, They hired q job
printer TO run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the me6i-
cine, now called Lydia Il. Pinkham'a
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pinkham sons i'm
Boston, New York, and Brooklyn.

tons of roots and herbs are used annu-
ally in its manufacture.
Lydia e. Pinkham herself did not
live to see the great success of this
work. She passed to her reward years
ago, but not till she had provided
means for continuing her work ~
effectively as she could have done IL
herself.
During her long and eventual expo

work and she was always careful topre-
serve a record of every case that came 90

With Lydia e. Pinkham worked her
daughter : In : law, the present Mrs.
Pinkham. She was carefully instructed
in all her hard-won knowledge, and
for years she assisted her in her vsst
correspondence.
To her hands naturally fell tho
