Strength Of Insects.

ing powers of man would probably
work out at about the same proper
ton.
IN Figure is shown a caterpillar
Of the poplar hawk-moth harnessed to
metal horse and cart loaded with
plasticine. This particular caterpillar
weighs nineteen grains, and the load
ed cart and horse 465 grains, so that
in round figures its load was twenty
five times its own weight.
with a piece Of rough bark for a
hold It could comfortably drag its load
along smooth table, the wheels Of
the cart, Of course, revolving.
THE ten.times power standard Of
man and horse appears Insignificant
beside the greater feat Of this cater
pillar; but, Just as a small horse may
pull more than a larger one. so may
a still smaller insect draw q still
larger weight.
In Figure a blowfly Is shown pull.
ing toy railway truck weighing ITO
grains. The weight Of the fly was ex-
actly one grain, so that its load was
40 times as heavy as itself.
THE next candidate for pulling hon.
ors was a bumble-bee. This insect
very ably manipulated both the empty
coach and truck pulled by the ground
beetle, the roof. however, being placed
on the former (Figure u. The truck
was time gradually loaded with plasti
cine until an additional weight Of 1866
grains had been reached. the total
weight Of coach, truck and load then
being COL grains. The weight Of the
bee was exactly two grains, so that It
was pulling load slightly over three
hundred times its own weight.
1T may, therefore, be said that the
pulling powers Of a humble-bee are
proportionately thirty times az great
as those of the horse or man, even
when both the latter are estimated at
their maximum strength"

DAMASK FOR SHAWL SCARFS
One Of the Prettiest and Most Sensible
Of the Present Seasons
Fashions.

silk damasks are used in the fash
ioning Of the broad shawl scarfs that
are fashionable. They have the air
Of having once covered sofas and
chairs Of the grand monarch period.
These scarfs are so ample that
when wound about the figure they are
as warm as a coat. The cOlors are ex-
qulsIte. A blurred design in Japanese
red, which has all the romance OF the
east in 1t, is most effective. A mel.
low thistle blue shade and a peculiar
green that is named after the Nile, yet
which makes the old-fashlcned Nile
green seem inspired. is used with ex-
cellent eject.
These are often bordered with mara
bou and are often thrown over the
shoulders with the defiant abandon Of
the Spaniard's cloak.

TO COVER THE FURNITURE
cretonne Slips Are Among the Pref,
tlest Things That Can Be Used
for This Purpose.

Few women realize how pretty and
practical are furniture covers made
from cretonne and other figured
material, or more housewives would
make use Of such slips in renovating
old and worn furniture. Incidentally
these modern slips" can be made by
a woman who has had any experience
in cutting patterns. / find that
models for chair covers, ETC.. can be
best made by cutting a design from
three-cent cambria and fitting 1t
snugly with pins to the furniture.
When the exact dimensions OF each
piece are complete in cambria these
trial slips" must be unpinned and
laid on the material from which tie
slips" are to be constructed.
II Is not necessary to bind the
seams in these slips. Indeed. in a
figured fabric the effect Of such seams
is undesirable. On plain, dun-colored
fabrics life is introduced by the use
Of red or blue braid on the seams.
With figured goods. French scanning
is best. 1t makes a firm and neat
finish, and obviates the use Of an
other color.
In slip covers the frame OF the
furniture is hidden by the material.
They are precisely what they are
called. slips" which easily can be
large enough to allow for shrinkage
when first washed.-Pittsburg Gazette.

TEN MILLION PEOPLE.
IN THE CANADIAN
WEST BY 1920
Groronto star.v Dec. 1eth. 1e1o.

The prediction 10 made that before
1920 Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Al
berta and British Columbia will have
ten million people. It is made not by
q sanguine Western journal but by
that very sober business newspaper;
the New York Commercial. II is
based upon actual observation, upon
the wheat-growing capacity of the Ca
madam West, and upon the prospects
Of development following the build
Ing Of railways. The writer shows
how the position Of leading wheat
market Of the world passed from
Milwaukee to Minneapolis and thence
to Winnipeg. Canada's wheat-grow.
Ing belt is four times greater than
that Of the United States. and only
Ave per cent Of Canada's western agri.
cultural area is under cultivation.
There are 170,000.0OO acres Of wheat
lands which will make these Western
Provinces richer, more populous. more
dependable for food supplies than the
Western States can ever become. The
center Of food supremacy will change
to Canada, and rs years more will
give this country 100000 popula-
ton west Of Ontario.
All these estimates of population
are in the nature Of guesses, and must
not be read too literally. But the
enormous area Of wheat-growing land,
the rapid construction of railways,
and the large volume Of immigration
are facts which must be recognized.
They point to the production Of an
ever-increasing surplus of wheat and
other cereals. However rapidly the
urban, the Industrial and commercial
population Of Canada may increase,
the increase Of home consumption Is
hardly likely to keep pace with that
Of the production Of wheat; for a sim
gle acre of wheat will provide for the
average annual consumption OF four
people.
While production In Canada is thus
running ahead of consumption at a
prodigious rate, consumption in the
United States Is overtaking produc-
ton, and the surplus for export is
growing smaller year by year. It is
true that the limit of actual power to
produce wheat is as yet far away.
BY methods of intensive cultivation,
such as prevail In France, the produc-
ton could be greatly increased. But
with the overlooking granary Of Can
ada so close at hand, 1t seems likely
that our neighbors will begin to i'm
port from US. turning their own en-
ergies more largely to other forms of
agriculture.
1t must be remembered that while
the Northern States resemble Canada
in climate and products. the resem-
blance diminishes as you go south.
ward. The wheat belt gives place to
q corn belt, and this again to semi

The man who secures a farm In

secures an investment better than the
best Of bond Of any government or
bank. It is no unusual thing for a
farmer in Western Canada to realize

Mountain Sheep Turned Loose

Rapid City, Sept. 14.-Through
the efforts Of local sportsmen, the
herd of twelve mountain sheep
recently captured by Jimmie Rey-
nolds, a rancher on the Cheyenne
river, in the Bad Lands. will be
turned loose and permitted to
60 where they will. When they
heard that Reynolds had caught
and corralled the sheep which
flocked with his domestic animals
a number of the sportsmen recall
ed the law which makes it an Of
fense to capture or hold mountain
sheep and promptly sent word to
Reynolds to free them. The lat
ter had unwittingly infringed the
statute and it is understood that
he has given the animals their
freedom.
