FALL WHEAT RAISING
IN ALBERTA.
The Spring Wheat Areas Are Rapidly
Increasing.

II is only a few short years since
the impression prevailed that a large
portion of the Canadian West was I'M
tent did this impression prevail that
districts larger than European prin-
cipalities were devoted solely to ranch
ing purposes, and focks and herds
roamed the ranges. But the agricul-
turist was doing some hard thinking,
and gradually experiments were made.
slowly at first, but surely later on. AS
q result, to-day in Southern Alberta,
which was looked upon as the 'arid
belt" large quantities of the finest
winter wheat in the world are now
grown, and so satisfied are the farm
ers and buyers that the industry has
passed the experimental stage that
elevators by the score have been erect
ed in the past two years and Others
are in course of erection, TO satisfy
the demands that will be made upon
them in the near future.
Manitoba mo. l Hard" spring wheat
has achieved a worldwide reputation.
and there can be no question that ere
long mo. l Hard" winter wheat from
Alberta will attain similar repute.
The great market for this production
will undoubtedly be the Orient. and.
with increased railway facilities and
the erection Of additional elevators and
Touring mills, largely increased acre
age will be broken TO winter wheat.
The increase OF population in South
ern Alberta in the past year has been
largely due to settlers from the United
States, who have brought in capital.
and enterprise. and who have been
uniformly successful in their under
takings. A few more such years of
growth and Turkey Red" winter
wheat will wave from Moose Jaw to
the foothills. Information regarding
lands in the Fall and Spring Wheat
belts may be obtained OF any Canadian
government agent

SCIENCE SPECIALS.

Experiments made with kites on the
Mediterranean have shown that over a
large surface Of water the temperature
and the rapidity of air movements de-
cline steadily in proportion TO the alti-
tude.
Prof. Nichols, the astronomer. made
a delicate instrument some time ago to
measure very faint heat-waves. 1t is
SO sensitive TO heat that it registers the
warmth that emanates from a mans
face 1000 feet, or more than a third Of
a mile, away.
The furnace as a means of ventilation
is said to be more economical in deep
mines than in shallow ones, as it acts
by heating a column of air: the higher
that column the greater will be the diff
ference in the weight of air in the up
cast and downcast shafts, and conse-
Quently the greater the motive power.
Carrying out experiments in psychic
phenomena, some scientists at Ruvo
produced some striking results. A IA
year-old boy was put in a trance, and in
this condition answered questions put to
him in Greek, Latin, Arabic, French,

ATTITUDE OF THE FARMERS

The manufacturers. however. have nc

Secretary Wilson shows that no class

tural regions the secretary tells us tina.

prominent as bankers and as money lend

the past five years prosperous condi-

1t has long been known that the
fermentation of bread caused the
formation of alcohol. but it was sup
posed that it passed from the dough
during the process of baking. Several
scientists have now come forward and
proved that bread. when ready for
eating, contains an average Of 500
per cent. of alcohol to the loaf. In
many countries strong liquors are
brewed from bread. Kvass, the mild
Russian beer, is brewed from brown

Theories as to Earthquakes.

The director Of the solar observa.
tory at Kensington in England an
nounces that at the time of the San
Francisco and Valparaiso earthquakes
and those which occurred in 1894 the
spots on the sun were at the maxi.
mum of their size. 1t is not known
that the sun spots and the earth
quakes have any relation but their 81
multaneous appearance has been OBJ
served often. There is another tie.
ory of the western earthquake, how,
ever, which is more simple and prob.
able. 1t is that the mountains on the
western shore Of the continent are
slowly but constantly being forced up.
ward Occasionally the upturning
strata Of rock slip and the result is
destruction to the cities within the
area of disturbance. This theory fits
well with the earthquakes on the Pa.
cific coast.

The Fountain of Youth.

"The fountain Of youth, l am per-
suaded," said Mr. Cheerily, springs In
our own bosoms only. The mistake
we make in searching for it, as we all
do, is in looking for it elsewhere.
Here it is, as one might say, right
under our noses, but that fact we
mover realize; and we all 90 search
ing for it, near and far, as Ponce de
Leon did centuries ago in Florida.
Here's the trouble, the real trouble.
The fountain within ourselves, If we
don't watch out, is likely to get sealed
up: and it is when it ceases thus to
flow that we begin to look for it else
where. always more and more aimless-
ly, and always with increasing weari-
ness, for it is worry that prompts us
on this vain search and that leads us
always farther and farther away.
That's the secret of the whole bust-
ness-freedom from worry; it is
worry . and worry only, that seals the
true fountain and starts us on that
fruitless quest
Don't worry, and you will never
have to search for it; you will discover
it, springing perpetual, within your
own heart-the true and only foun.

BRAVED ANGER OF KING.
Lafayette Flaunted Liberty Medal IN
Face of Louis.

Shortly after Lafayette's return to
France from his second sojourn in
America, he was at Versailles, where
the king was about to review divi
sion of troops. Lafayette was asked
to join in the review.
He was dressed in the American unt
form, and was standing by the side OF
the Prince de Conde, when the king
in his tour of conversation with the
officers, came to him, and, after
speaking on several topics, asked him
some questions about his uniform and
the military costume of the United
States. The kings attention was al
tracted by a little medal attached 10
the generals coat, and he asked what
it was.
LAFAYETTE replied that it was sym
Dol which it was the custom OF for
eign officers in American service To
wear. and that it bore a device.
"And what is the device upon
yours?" asked the king.
my device" said the young gen
eral, pointing to his medal, lis a LID

and scepter."
The king smiled, and with some
pleasantly upon the republican pro

sation into other channels. Conde
