 The OUTLOOK.
 Spelling There is a controversy l
 Niagara. in the newspapers and in | the mercantile world over Niagara Falls. The people with practical turn of mind see in the enormous vol | ume of water going to waste splen- did opportunity to develop horse pow. or without limit. Sentimental peo- pie 4nd lovers of nature think that to divert the Falls to just great ma chine for the making of electricity would be subversion of one of the grandsst works of the Almighty. We are told that already the total qusn- tity of water which is authorized to be taken from the river by various works is e0,s0o cubic feet per second. Of this amount 2e,70o cubic feet will be taken from the American side and q. 200 cubic feet from the Canadian side. This means that 27 per cent of the average discharse and B per cent of the low water discharge of the riv- CT will be diverted from the Falls in- to underground tunnels where 1t will bs the motive power for turbine wheels without number. It Is sug- gested that our Government in con- junction with Canada shall take charge of the Falls and that in fu- ture the jurisdictions of the water shall not be in the hands of the State of New York. As . thing of scenic beauty, Niagara ought not to be de- stroyed even for the sake of the bust -ness that 1t might do.
 
 ''The Poor All sorts of things ~ Mans Oyster" are tested in these days for food.lrom horse flesh to frogs, but the latest fad is the snail, which is considered to be a rare tid bit by the epicures and is used quite a little in France as fsod and is called the "Poor Mans Oyster" In France the snails are collected on the vineyards and having perfectly clean feeding ground they are said to have a fine flavor and are both nutritious and tasty. In getting the snails from ordi- nary places it Is suggested that the safest way to do would be to keep them for . few days because they sometimes feed upon poisonous plants and the poison would then have chance to pass from them. We have in our country various trout farms and frog farms and now it is the next thing to start snail farm. Compared with the oyster the snail is shown by chemical analysis to have about one hundred per cent more of nutritious substance in it than the shell fish. The snail contains six per cent of fat, four per cent of mineral matter and about 90 per cent of solid matter that the body could assimilate. Pass your plate, gentlemen, for the second help ing of snail soupll

 Says: one of the best known tobacco raisers in New England, sends this warning to tobacco growers through Springfield Republican,: am wondering how many Connecticut val ley tobacco farmers know that "hun- dreds of buyers," q quote Edgerton (Wis.) Reporter) "have been making . hot-foot campaign" in the Wisconsin tobacco districts securing all the op- tions they can get on the 1906 crop, at Is to 20 cents per pound, and that many growers refuse to give options even at those prices, and condition" ofcrops there 3 per cent below the av- craze. Again, how many know that those prices are fully 100 per cent above the average for that state No-t uyluo~-cln <oh to .po otl lool
