Drifting Back from Canada.

Clarence j. Blanchard, statistican
of the Reclamation Service, who is at
present at work in Montana, reports
that many recent settlers in that
state have returned from Canada
after attempting to farm to advan-
tage in that region. Some of these
persons told Blanchard that "practi-
cally every American farmer in the
neighborhood of Alberta, where the
Canadian government maintains an
irrigation project, was anxious to get
back if he could sell his holdings in
the Dominion" Over $1,000 have
returned in the past nine months.
This report has been sent by
Blanchard TO Washington, and it is
the duty of the authorities at Wash
ington to tell it to the country. The
story of disappointed Americans
making their way home from Can
ada is not new. Railway officials
have told ii before. and 10 have news
papers in Minnesota. North Dakota,
Montana and other states of our
Northern tier. A great many Am
orleans have been selling their farms
in our western and northwestern
states and taking up cheap lands in
western Candida. The Dominion au-
thorities have been reporting this
for several years. and
have been gleefully computing the
great additions to the wealth and
population of their country which
this migration of Americans bring
them.
But the Canadians neglect to tell
about the stream of disappointed
Americans who are leaving Canada
and returning to their W country.
Our own officials ought to fill his
gar in the story. Through the ad.
vertisements of the government at
Ottawa and of the Canarian railways
and immigration societies the attrae-
lions, largely extrayagant or bogus.
of western Canada have been spread
all over the United States, but chiefly
in the states just below the dominion
boundary. These tails have sent tens
of thousands of Americans into Mani
toba, A~ssiniboia, Alberta, British Co
lumbia and other provinces in the
past half a dozen years. Lured into
an alien climate and environment.
and virtually compelled to renounce
allegiance to their own country, the
disappointment which has come TO
many of them vas natural. To "A
large extent the Canadians have
been playing a confidence game Oh
American farmers, and the facts are
coming to light. In the interest II
the other tens of thousands who may
be duped by Canadian romances I'M
less the truth is set before them. the
government at Washington should
give wide publicity to the reports of
the returning Americans and - che
testimony of American consuls on
the ground.

Amber.

Amber is a substance analogous to
the vegetable resin, and in all prob
ability is derived from various con-
ferrous trees, although now appear
ing like coal, as a product of the min
eral kingdom. 1t is usually of a pale
yellow color, sometimes reddish or
brownish, and sometimes Opaque. 1t
occurs in round, irregular Jumps,
grains or drops. 1t is slightly brittle
and emits an agreeable odor when
rubbed and burns with a bright
flame and pleasant smell.
Amber was obtained by the an
clients from the coast of the Baltic
sea, where it is still found, especially
between Konigberg and Memel in
East Prussia, in greater abundance
than anywhere else in the world. 1t
is there partly cast up by the sea, es-
peoially after storms, partly obtained
by means of nets, and partly by sys-
tematie dreging. and is also Obtain
ed by digging in the earth near the
coast. The annual production in
Prussia is about 220, 900 pounds.
1t is found elsewhere in coal, in
shale and chalk, and occasionally in
diluvial deposits, as in the gravel
near London, but 1t is very rare in
Great Britain. 1t is also obtained
in small quantities from the coast of
Sicily and the Adriatic, and in Sibe-
ria. In the royal cabinet at Berlin,
Germany, is a piece weighing fifteen
pounds, and said % be the lars-st
ever found.-San Francisco Chron-
iele.

Wonderful Wireless.

A wonderful thing to reflect upon,
that wherever We may be these silent,
invisible messengers may be playing
about us. A week ago a sea cap
tain on the steamship Montrose out
rope and America took on a us
picion. He called up Scotland Yard
and made known his thoughts. Soon
after a detective boarded a much
faster steamship than the Montrose
and started in pursuit in the 5000
mile ace to Quebec. He reached
there first and the captain and the
detective knew the exact location of
each other at all times. On the decks
and in the cabins below a merry
group of people were laughing and
enjoying the trip and among them
were the REV. John Robinson" and
his retiring, reticent son. And little
did they know that the detectives of
two continents were watching them
and the people on both sides of the
Atlantic awaiting their arrest on ar
rival at Quebec. The Montrose sig
nailed for a pilot outside Quebec and
a boat put out and a pilot" boarded.
The pilot was Inspector Dew of
Scotland Yard whom Rev. Robin
son" had left behind when he sailed
for America. The arrest followed
and the passengers were Mortified to
learn that Rev. Robinson was the
notorious DR.. Crippen, accused wife
murderer, and the "son" was none
other than his paromour, the typist,
dressed In boys clothing, who was
arrested as accessory. The most ex-
mar hunt of modern times was
over. The detective had won. Wire
less had done its work.

Grants Poor Marks.

Majors General Frederick ID. Grant,
the eldest son of President and Gen
eral u. S. Grant. vas not long ago
a guest at a dinner given by certain
college and school teachers. The
chairman rose to introduce him. He
had hunted up an old story about the
Grant family, and was much pleased
with himself that he had something
so interesting TO say
when Fred Grant was a hoy at
West Point" he began, his father,
the famous general, wrote TO the
eommandant inquiring how the son

"'You need not worry the CON-
mandant wrote back. Your son is
getting better marks in everything
than ever you had in anything.
The gentleman was not quite so
self-satifed when General Grant rose
TO respond.
THAT is a perfectly true story
he said smilingly. 81 remember the
incident perfectly. but there is a

Panama Canal Will Take Rank.

Americans. known the world over
for thier inventive genius and large
undertakings, have failed to produce
one of the wen modern wonder
works of the world. as enumerated
by Harrington Emerson in Engineer
ing Magazine. That authority on en-
cheering wonders says one OF them
400 years old, has It's inspiration in
religion-St. Peters at Rome, the
largest church eve built. The
second, 100 years old, is the greatest
triumphal arch ever erected, com
memorating Napolian l. The other
five are modern engineering works. Ii
is typical of the changed ideal OF the
ages that only one Of the ancient
wonders was utilitarian. and only one
of the modern wonders is religious,
five being very distinctly u~tilitarian;
yet noble deals gave them all birth.
"Of the utilitrian works the Suez
canal easily comes first. 1t shOrtens
the sea route from Northern Eu-
rope to the Orient by 5000 miles,
between certain ports more .han half.
The canal was begun in 1853, esti-
mated to cost $4,000, 600 and to be
finished in 1864. Its actual cost was
$4,000. 600 and 1t was opened III
1869. The idea was realized, but
none of the other eleven efficiency
principles was thoroughly applied,
most of them not at all; hence both
the double time and trebled Gust.
1.-The next great engineering WORK
was also French, the Eiffel tower,
raising 1000 feet into the air, at
once the highest structure erected by
mar and the prototype of modern
American steel construction, which Ii
a matter of course followed whef
passenger elevators or lifts were
made practical.
1.-The third great wonder is th'
Firth Of Forth bridge; cantilevers
White Pine news weekly mining review. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1910-1920, 1910-08-14

similar to three pairs of great Eiffel
towers, each pair Joined at its base,
each half stretching out horizontally
900 feet without end support. This
bridge Is massive in design because
wind pressure is more dangerous
than train load.
The fourth modern wonder is the
st. Gotthard tunnel, twelve MES
long, under the Alps. There was a
Bremen railroad route over the Aus
trian Alps, an Mount Cents tunnel
under the French Alps, but Italy,
Switzerland and Germany combined
to divert the century-old trade be-
tween the south and the north to a
shorter new route. the key te the
situation being the long tunnel. more
than twice as long as any American
railroad tunnel.
THE seventh and last of the
modern wonders are twin cousin
ships, the Lusitania and Mauretania
subsidized and designed to restore to
Great Britain the blue ribbon of the
sea. OF these seven wonders one be-
longs to Italy, one jointly to Italy
and Switzerland, three belong TO
France, two to Great Britian. An
ideal definitely conceived in ad a
and ten~aciously realized Is manifest
in each, and in most of them other
efficiency principles are applied, in
some only in embryonic vestiges, in
others in advanced form, notably IN
the steamers, which as to cost. time
of completion and performance
realized expectations"
But with the completion of the
Panama canal, one of the foregoing
wonders must give place to the great
engineering problem, the solving of
was beyond the ability of De-
Lesseps and the French nation.

Eleven Tons of Diamonds.

The days work at the mine was
over and Frederick Wells, the sur
face manager. was making his usual
rounds. CHANGING along one side of
the deep excavation his eye suddenly
caught the CLEAN of a brilliant OBJ
ject far up the bank. He lost no
time in climbing up to the spot,
where he noted the CLINT of light. He
had not been mistaken; 1t was a brill
liant crystal. He tried to pull ii out
with his fingers, and as this proved
impossible he sought TO pry II ont

his surprise the blade of the knife
broke without causing the stone to
yield. Then he knew 1t was a large
stone. So large and brilliant was the
