Phosphoreseent Forests.

The phosphorescence of certain
agaries of BorneO has more than once
demoralized the superstitious natives

THANKSGIVING DAY
Canada's Day Of Thanks Month Ear
iier THAN in the United States.

For some reason better known to
the Canadians themselves than to the
people on this side Of the line, our
Canadian cousins celebrated their
Thanksgiving a month or more earlier
than We do. It may be that the Cana
dian turkey had become impatient, and
sounded q nste OF warning. or it may
be that the frost on the pumpkin" de-
olared 'itse6. But whatever the reason.
their Thanksgiving day is past 1t may
have been that the reasons for giving
thanks SO much earlier than we do
were pushing themselves SO hard and
SO fast that the Canadians were
ashamed 70 postpone the event. They
have had reasons. and good ones, too.
Tor giving thanks. Their great broad
areas of prairie land have yielded in
abundance, and here. by the way. 1t IL

the millions Of Americans who have
made their home In Canada during the
past few years to know that they have
participated most generously in the
cutting of the melon" Probably the
western portion of Canada. comprising

ivan and Alberta. have the greatest
reason Of any of the provinces to ex-
lress in the most enthusiastic manner
their gratitude. The results In the
line of production give ample reason
for devout thanksgiving to Providence.
This year has surpassed all others in
SO far as the total increase in the coun-
jry's wealth is concerned. There is no
question that Providence was espe
cially generous. The weather condi-
tions were perfect, and during the
ripening and harvesting period, there
was nothing to interfere. And now it
was well it was SO, for with a demand
for labor that could not be supplied.
there was the greatest danger, but
with suitable weather the garnering of
the grain has been successfully accom-
pished. There have been low gen.

ed for by the fact that farmers were
Indifferent, relying altogether upon
what a good soil would do. There
will be no more low averages though.

careful farming will do. 1t will pro-
s,uce 100 million bushels of wheat from
seven million acres. and il will pro-
duce a splendid lot OF oats. yielding
anywhere from so to 100 bushels per
acre. This on land that has cost but
from $40 to SIS per acre-many farm
ers have realized suffi cient from this
years crop to pay the entire cost of
their farms. The Toronto Globe says:
The whole population of the West
reioices in the bounty of Providence.

have been bestowed on the country
The cheerfulness which has abounded
with industry during the past six
months has not obliterated the concep-
ton of the source from which the
blessings have flown. and the good
feeling is combined with a spirit of
thankfulness for the privilege of living
in so fruitful land. The misfortunes
OF the past are practically forgotten.
