The professor hal been q great traveller

records an earthquake, no matter at

Professor Milne lis also mi OF tho
greatest living authorities on Japan,
and WAS for 90 years engaged by the
JapaneGe government as q geologist
and mining engineer. Like the late Sir
Edwin Arnold, the professor married
a Japanese lady. and their welded life
has been ideally happy.
Had 1t not been for chance, Profess
sor Milne might never have seriously
taken up h study Of earthquakes at

Little black swellings were scatter
ed over my face and neck and they
would leave little black scars that
would itch so I couldn't keep from
scratching them. Larger swellings
would appear and my clothes would
stick to the sores. l went to q doctor,
but the trouble only got worse. BY
this time it was all over my arms and
the upper part Of my body in swellings
as large as a dollar. 1t was so pain
full that I could not bear to lie on my

swellings, but when they broke the
places would not heal. I bought q set

AunA Anchora-

If some OF the sea worthless could
come to earth and get a look at the
anchors which were recently turned
out in the Charlestown navy yard, they
would not believe their eyesight," said
H, M. Knight, of Boston, to q Milwau-
kee Sentinel reporter. "Battleships
nowadays carry four anchors. These
have been cast heretofore, but they
were 1iabl TO break at the wrong time.
They were 80 big, however, that 1t
seemed there was nc other way to
make them. Finally 1t was decided to
try and forge an anchor OF the size
needed at the Charlestown navy yard.
Accordingly five men were set at work
on an anchor which was to weigh IT,
500 pounds. The men worked on the
anchor a month and hen turned out
one that stood all the tests and vas
accepted. Now they are making those
anchors in the yard in sets Of fours
for shipment wherever they are need
ed.
These anchors Will hold the largest
battleships afoat unless they are
caught in a hurricane. They are i'm
mense affairs. They are 15 feet long
from crown to shackle and about nine
and a half feet across from point to

81 inches wide. Several sets have beer

western Canada. Happy Prospect.

Western Canada's Happy Prospects.
In no year since the development of
Western Canada began has spring
brought a brighter outlook than it
brings this year. In no preceding
spring has there been greater assur-
ance Of advancing development and
prosperity. The movement Of immigra-
ton has already assumed large proper
tons, and is as desirable In character
as It is satisfactory in volume; from
across the Atlantic sturdy, industri-
Gus and thrifty newcomers are arriv-
ing in large numbers, homeseekerS
from Ontario and the other older
provinces are coming in a steady
stream, and from across the interna-
tional boundary a movement is already
In full TOW which, 1t is confidently
predicted, will beat the records Of all
previous years; special settlers trains
are crossing the line, loaded with eff
fects, actual material wealth being
thus brought into the country at the
rate Of millions Of dollars worth
monthly.
The movement Is so un~precedently
large that extra Dominion Immigra-
ton officials have had to be provided
at both North Portal and at Emerson,
and it is estimated that the total num-
Der of new settlers from the United
States this ear will be 10000 at least,
and may run we'll up toward 100000.
Last years total Of new settlers from
the South was 1923; thus the area
that will be placed in wheat and other
grains this year will greatly exceed
that Of last year. Settlers are making
extraordinary efforts to get o their
lands and begin seeding operations.
The price Of wheat now, away above
the dollar mark, is incentive enough,
and when one has in view the splen-
did results that the past few years
have shown, 1t is not to be wondered
at that the present will be the banner
year for immigration to Canada. Ask
your nearest Canadian government
agent for rates OF transportation, and
he will also send you illustrated
pamphlets.

All Womsn Arc Liars.r

The stampa newspaper at Milan
an interesting essay by an
italian philosopher, who wishes nat
urally to be nameless on Women as
Liars"
Il could bring myself to CON

doing 80 1 would condemn women. Nc
woman can get along without lying al
least a hundred times q day.
"Only fools and children are affront-
ed by women's little falsehoods: for
fools and children do not understand
at all. A mar who is a mar
rather delights in wolnanly lies. He
expects to be abbed at regarding HE
wife's or his sweetheart's, or his Atm
ity's prevarications as part OF the deli
cate comedy OF life.
"As God a Y the bird and beak a
throat to sing, SO he invested lovely
women with the smile that spells be-
ltrayal. With women habitual prevari-
cation is merely an exercise of intellect,
the more clever a woman the more ac-
complished liar she Is.
"Woman's cruelty to woman liz part
and parcel of the capacity for lying
with which nature SO generously en-
idowed her. Every word she wastes on
other women is a libel..n
