order to provide comfortably for them,
is the owner of large chunk of am
bergris valued at thousands OF dollars,
which he found floating in the st.
three years ago.
1t was not until a few days ago
that he fully began to realize the
value OF his great find. when he was
told that the state chemist at Con-
cord. who had examined the specimen.
had declared 1t. In his belief. to be
ambergris.
For three years this gelatin-like
mass. which is found in the intestines
OF the sperm whale and which is
much sought by the perfumery manu-.
facturers Of the world. has lain around
the little tenement of the Levesque
family with no member Of II giving

he had. which would probably weigh

that he would tell him just what the

Mr.. Levesque went to Concord and
showed Mr.. Howard the sample he

A peculiar and startling result OF

GERMANY AND
CANADIAN WHEAT
LOOKS TO THE CANADIAN WEST
FOR HER SUPPLY.

A dispatch from Winnipeg, Manito
ba, dated March Is, 1910 says: THAI
Germany is anxious to secure q share
of Canadian wheat to supply her i'm
ports of that cereal" The recent ad
justment of the trade relations with
Germany has made 1t possible to carry
on a Canadian-German trade with
much fewer restrictions than in the
past, and considerable development
of trade between the two Countries
is now certain. The great men of
the United States are alive to the
Wheat situation in this Country now,
and there is consequently the deepest
interest in every feature that will
tend to increase and conserve the
wheat supply. With its present ESQ.,.
100000 bushel production of wheat
and all efforts to increase it almost
unavailing, and the rapidly growing
consumption of its increasing popula-
tion, there is certainly the greatest
reason for the anxiety as to where the
wheat is to come from that will feed
the nation. The United States will
be forced as Germany is to look to
the Wheatfields of Canada. One
province alone raised last year one
eighth as much as the entire produc-
tion of the United States, and but .
twelfth of the wheat area has yet been
touched. The Americans who have
gone to Canada, are to-day reaping
the benefit of the demand for Canadi.
an wheat and they will continue to
join in the benefits thus reached for
a great many years. Splendid yields
are reported from the farms of that
Country, and from land that the Gov.
ernment gives away In 160 acre
blocks. and from other lands that
have been purchased at from $12 to
$l5 an acre. John Munter. near Eye

dent of Minnesota says:

some Of these days. There are many
others, hundreds OF others. whose
yields were beyond this, and whose
average under crop was vastly
greater. The story of the experience
OF American farmers In the Canadian
West is long one. The time to go,
would appear to be now. when splen.

There are two government farms In

an area of 205 acres.
Cotton is grown in the following
Transyaal districts: Zoutoansberg,
Piet Retief. Rustenburg and the
Transvaal government is giving this
industry great encouragement and it
is said that at the April agricultural
show in johannesburg there will be a
magnificent display of cotton. 1t is
claimed that little capital is required
to start cotton growing in the Trans

$1,000 being quite enough.

THE NECESSITY OF SLEEP
Daylight and Darkness and the Power
Of Sight Regulate the Hours
Of Rest.

II We are to believe an eminent
British scientist We should. were 1t
always daytime" never sleep. In his
opinion there is no particular reason
why we, or any of the other animals,
should rest. on an average, eight or
nine hours a day.
That period of rest. we are assured
has been determined by the fact that
eight hours Is the average period
wherein there Is a lack of sufficient
light to enable us to move about and
have our being In comfort.
1t further appears that the mos,
fundamental distinction between day
and night is wholly relative to the
sense Of sight. 1t affects only those
types of life which have developed
eyes. Plants being dependent for
their growth upon the action of rays
OF sunlight that fall upon their leaves.
have a wide distinction between day
and night functions. They eat and
digest in the light and grow during
the hours Of darkness.
The lower forms of animal life-the
sightless inhabitants of ocean depths
do not rest at regular intervals. They
prowl about necessarily. seeking prey
by the sense Of touch alone. When
they rest. we are told. 1t is at irregular
intervals. In other words. they have
no distinct periodicity of their own.
But soon as eyes are developed. and in
proportion to this development. ami.
mails begin to divide their times into
two main portions. . waking and 4
sleeping time. While there Is lisht
they perform all motive functions:
when darkness comes they retire ia
