Among the curious insects Of the
Malay peninsula Is one called the lam
tern fly. which is remarkable for its
sudden leaps made without the aid OF
it's wings. II was only after the first
specimens Of this queer insect We're
carried 10 london for examination
that it was discovered hat a curious
projection on the front of its head,
a kind of nose with a crease in 1t, was
the leaping organ. When ben bach un-
der the abdomen and suddenly re-
leased II sent the insect living.

peg:
Dear Sir-It Is with pleasure that |
reply to your request. Some years ago
] took up a homestead for myself and
also one for my son. The half section
which we own is situated between Rou-
Moose Jaw Creek is a low level and
heavy land. We put in 20 acres OF
wheat in stubble, which went 20 bush
els to the acre. and 80 acres OF sum
mer fallow, which went 20. bushels 10
the acre. All the wheat we harvested
this year is No. / hard. That means
the best wheat that can be raised on
the earth. We did not sell any wheat
yet, as we intend TO keep n part for
our own seed. and sell the other part
10 people who want tirst-class seed. for
there is no doubt IL you SOW good
wheat you will harvest good wheat.
We also threshed 5000 bushels of first
class oats out OF 100 acres. Eighty
acres has been fall plowing. which
yielded 30 bushels per acre. and 50
acres stubble. which went go bushels
to the acre. These oats are the best
kind thar can be raised. We have
shipped three car loads OF them. and
got 53 cents per bushel clear. All our
grain was cut in the last week OF the
month OF August before any frost could
touch If.
Notwithstanding the fact that we
have had a late spring, and that the
weather conditions this year were very
adverse and unfavorable. we will make
more money ont OF our crop this year
than last.
For myself | feel compelled 10 say
thar Western Canada crops cannot be
checked. even by unusual conditions.
J AN, dear sir, Yours truly.

1t was. noticed at a recent perform
ance of the opera in Berlin that the
German emperor, who was in the inn
perial box, several times rose to APP
plaud the singers, and asked the en-
press, who was with him, TO give the
signal for the applause. Sometimes
when interrupted by some messenger
from the war office or the foreign min
istry, he forgot to applaud, and the ac-
tors had to retire to the wings con
scious that a glacial silence pervaded
the house.

DU YOU KNOW
WHAT WHITE LEAD is?
Its Chief Use and a Method of Deter
mining Good from Bad Explained.

White Lead is the standard paint
material all over the world. 1t is MADE
by corroding metallic lead into a white
powder, through exposing ii TO h
fumes of weak acetic acid and car
bonlc acid gas; this powder is then
ground and mixed with linseed oil,
making a thick paste, in which form
it is packed and sold for painting pur-
poses. The painter thins it down TO
the proper consistency for application
by the addition of more linseed oil.
The above refers, Of course, TO pure,
genuine White Lead only, Adulterated
and fake White Lead" of which there
are many brands on the market, is
generally some sort OF composition
containing only a percentage of white
lead-sometimes no White Lead at all /;
Il such stuff, barytes Or ground rock,
chalk, and similar cheap substances
are used to make bulk and initiate the
appearance of pure White Lead.
There is, however. a positive test by
which the purity or impurity Of White
Lead may be proved or exposed, before
painting with it.
The blow-plpe fame will reduce pure
white lead to metallic lead. If a sup
posed white lead be thus tested. and it
only partially reduces TO lead, leaving
a residue, ii is proof that something
else was there besides white lead.
The National Lead Company guaran-
tee all White Lead sold in packages
bearing its Dutch Boy Painter"
trademark TO prove absolutely pure
under this blow-p pipe test, and that you
may make the test yourself in your own
home, they will send free upon re-
quest q blow-pipe and everything else
necessary TO make the test, together
with a valuable booklet on paint. Ad-
dress. National Lead Company, Wood
bridge Building, New York.

A noted violinist and violin maker be-

chine, the same quality of tone TO a
violin hat g has been credited with

says Popular Mechanics, is that it is
not the age of the violin which really
gives ii it's superior tone, but the
amount of bowling or vibration it a
received. BY the use of the electrical
machine the violin is expected to get
as much bowling in 80 days as the
same instrument would receive in so

reject it as bad simply because it was
