DunrObin castle, in Scotland, was
the scene Of a discovery a few years
ago of a document relating to Mary
Queen Of Scots, which, hao it seen
the light when poor Mary Stua t was
about to commit the browning act of
folly in marrying Boutwell,, would
have changed the whole Intercourse
of her life. The document was the
original dispei,sation granted by the
vatican to Lady Jane Gordon to en-
able her to marry her cousin, the earl
OF Boutwell,. When the latter wanted
to espouse his sovereign he declared
his union with Lady Jane Gordon null
and void on the ground of their rela-
tionship and obtained a divorce. The
assumption is that Lady Boutwell, was
only too glad to get rid of the arts

pensation, the production of which
would have made her marriage valid

That she had it is proved by its being

steel Melts from within.

From Pittsburg comes the news of
a discovery attributed to G. P. Black
iston in regard to the way in which
steel melts. Contrary to the general
belief, and to the known laws of ply
sizes, Blackiston has shown that steel
melts from the inside first. He has
had photographs made showing the
shells produced by the melting of g.
900 bars of crucible steel, one fiat and
the other octagonal. These showed
that both bars are hollow, while the
outside surface remained in it's origi-
nal shape. 1t was discovered acciden-

Blackiston thinks the melting of the
interior first is due to the oxidi-

the heat. Others see an analogy be-

and the molten interior of the earth.

Name of Clothes.

Funny, isn't it" said the obseryant
woman, how our clothes are named.
In some of them there is sort of pre-
tense that may please others, but it
seems absurd to me. For instance,
have had a woman show me a coat
and tell me how fine it would be for
driving, when neither l nor one in a
hundred of her customers would ever
get into a carriage. Then the motor

And q New school Every School
Day.
The above caption about represents
the growth of Central Canada. The
statement was made not long since
BY railroad man who claimed to have
made the remarkable discovery that
such was the case. There is not a
district of fair amount of settlement
in any of the three Provinces of Mani
has its school, and the railways have
stations every seven or eight miles
apart, around which group the towns,
some large and some small, but each
important to its own district Schools
are largely maintained. by public
funds and the expense of tuition is
but nominal sum.
The final returns of the grain pro-
duction for Central Canada for 1909
are now in, and the figures show that
the value of the crops to the farmers
of that country is about S195,000,000,
as compared with $120,000,000 last
year. American farmers or those who
have gone from the United States, will
participate largely in these splendid
returns, and these comprise those who
have gone from nearly every state in
the Union.
One of the many proofs that might
be put forward showing the immense
wealth that comes to the farmers of
Central Canada is seen in the sum
that has been spent during the past
two or three months by the farmers
who have for the time being ceased
worrying over the reaper and the
thresher, and are taking to enjoying
themselves for two or three months.
1t is said that $4,000 people of these
Western Provinces spent the holiday
season visiting their old homes. Most
of these passengers paid forty and
some forty-fve dollars for the round
trip. Some went to Great Britain,
some to the Continent. others to their
old homes in Eastern Canada, and
many thousands went to visit their
friends in the States. The amount
paid alone in transportation would be
upwards of two million dollars. Some
make the trip every year. 1t need not
be asked, Can they afford it?" With
crops yielding them a profit of $40 to
S25 per acre, and some having as
much as twelve hundred or more
acres, the question is answered The
Canadian government agents at differ
ent points in the States. report that
they have interviewed a great many of
those who are now visiting friends in
the different States. and they all ex-
press themselves as well satisfied, and
promise to take some of their friends
back with them. There is still a lot
of free homestead land in splendid
districts, and other lands can be ppr

managers notice of the demands Dec.

to elapse before asking for an answer.
The refusal of the roads, it was said,
does not necessarily mean that there
will be a strike Practically all of the
managers agreed to meet with commit
tees from their respective roads and
discuss the demands, and series of con-
ferences will begin as soon as the nee

demands involve approximately $780,
