Some interesting facts about the
game laws over in New Brunswick are
given in the annual report of the Tour
list Association of that province From
this report it is shown that for the year
1906 the sum of $4,000 was received
from the sale of game licenses. and that
in The past ten years a total of $780,
724.46 have been received from this
source. The province makes distinc-
ton between residents and nOn-reSi-
dents in the matter of game licenses,
the latter being $50, slightly more than
800 Individual licenses having been is
sued in 1906. During the same year
5000 licenses were issued to residents of
the province. The association asserts
that there is "toO great a difference be-
tween the license fees charged the resi-
dent and nonresident sportsman" The
St. John Globe, in reference to this SUBJ
ject says: 1.-THE game of the provinces
belongs to the people, yet it is a fact
that not over two per cent. of the
population ever exercise the right to
hunt in our forests, and the remaining
9S per cent. must be content with their
share of the general benefit derived
from the expenditure made by nom
resident sportsmen. Our game is a
valuable asset and with proper and
adequate protective measures muci:
greater revenue can be secured in the
years to come not only from the hunt
ers Of big game. but from those who
want to fish our rivers and streams
and who want to shoot our wild fowl.
Tho protective measures for the fish
and the wild fowl are hardly worthy
of the name and the illegal slaughter
that goes on annually is very great"

Clogs Worn by English Workmen.

An acknowledged authority has
estimated there are at least 1000, 900
pairs of clogs sold in the northern
counties of England jevery year..
Different woods are preferred in
different districts, says the Shoe and
Leather Reporter. The workers in
factories and other indoor occupa-
tions in such districts as Bolton, Old
ham and Preston prefer a sole made
from either alder or birch, while in
the colliery districts, such as Wigan,
beech, birch and ash are most gener-
ally used, the first named in each in
stance being in greatest demand.
Some idea of the immense quantity
Of soles used may be gathered from
an estimate that each pair OF. clogs
will be resoled twice before being re-
placed by a new pair. thus Ayeraging
three pair Of soles to the life Of one
pair Of clogs.

Jig Dancing Keeps Him Younc,

If you wish to become a nonagenar.
ian then dance a little every morning
just before breakfast.
This tonic is advanced by Alter
Silberman, ninety-one years old, an
inmate of the Home of the Daughters
of Jacob, situated on lower East
Broadway. Sherman for years has
been dancing from ten to fifteen min.
utes every morning before breakfast.
He declares that dancing is the great
est exercise in the world.
Dancing puts more ambition into
a man and makes him more cheerful
and happier" said the white-bearded
patriarch yesterday, after he danced
the "Kotzatski,' which is a famous
Russian dance.
Silberman came to this country
years ago. He was wealthy at one
time, but lost his fortune in specula-
ton. He has been at the Home of
the Daughters of Jacob for years.
my advice to the younger genera
ton is that they should dance
morning before breakfast and also just
before retiring" he said.-New York

70 DOUBLE EARTH'S PRoDuC'
TON.
Discovery of Commercially Practical
Method of Extracting Nitric
Acid from Air.

If the cabled accounts of the dis
eovery by Sir William Crookes, the
eminent English scientist, OF a COM
mercially. practical method of extract.
ing nitric acid from the atmosphere
are correct, the eventual result VIII
be a doubling of the worlds crop out
put and the banishing of the fear OF a
scarcity of food because of over-pop-
ulation.
This was the comment made today
by Prof. Charles F. Chandler, head OF
the department of chemistry at Co
lumbia.
"If Sir William Crookes and Pro-
fessors Krowalski and Mosciki have
succeeded in reducing the cost OF pro-
ducing nitric acid from the air; their
discovery will be of incalculable value
to the world" said Prof. Chandler.
"How important such a discovery is
may be realized from the fact that
the only source Of fertilizer supply is
confined to South America, and that
the supply of Chile saltpeter is sooner
or later bound to give out. So that the
world will be forced to fall back on
nitric acid obtained from air as a
substitute for nitrate Of soda gotten
from the EARN.
When a practical working electrical
process is perfected, every waterfall
in the country will be available, soon
er or later, for the production of at
mospheric fertilizer.
"The crop output of the world Will
be doubled, and the fear of a scarcity
Of food and overpopulation Of the
world will be met. 1t is only a ques-
ton of time when nitric acid will be
successfully and economically extract
ed from the air.
GAS a matter of fact, this is being
done today in Norway, according to
reliable reports. Several tons a day
are being produced.
"The product was obtained chiefly
as neutral calcium nitrate and also In
part as more valuable nitrates. Its
marked deliquescence detracted from
It's value as a manure, as 1t could only
be transported in iron drums; and in
other ways its solvent properties rem
dered it very i~nconvenient to use for
agricultural purposes.
"It was suggested that a basic nit
rate of lime be produced. This was
not deliquescent and could be handled
in bulk or in Jumps or powder or pack
ed in bags or boxes and was in all
ways suited for manurial purposes"
