ers who have gone into the Dominion,
this, too, has been overstated. A few
have gone-yes. There are some rest.
less souls who are never satisfied and
are ever on the move. They are not
content unless trying some new wilder
ness. We all know the type. General
ly they are worse off with each move
They are like the man mentioned in sa-
cred writ, ''The last estate of that man
was worse than the first" "a sucker
is born every minute" even in so ia
vored a cline as the United States.
1t is this class Of people who follow
every boomer tale or press agent
vile even though it leads them into the
land Of eternal frost. After reaching
their farthest north these unfortunate
folk have not enough money to get
back and so perforce must SILVER out
their lives trying to remove the ice and
snow in order that they may raise a
short lived crop. This side of the
story is not told in the press agent
tales. The best thing l know of the
Canadian climate is this: The people
must appreciate the summer; they have
so little Of it. Possibly the season is
long enough in some of the Canadian
northwest to raise wheat, but man
cannot live on wheat alone.
Returned Emigrants Are Many.
Compared to the vast mass Of our
farmers moving onward to find homes
in our own land there are very few
go into Canada, and many of these
return. They find the actual condi-
sions up there different from the Ca
madam governments press agent de-
scriptions. The country they discover
to be bleak and uninviting, thinly set
tied, with more winter than anybody
can possibly use in his business. The
Pacific coast climate is milder, it is
true, than that farther inland. but IL it
is Pacific coast climate that is desired
we still have millions Of acres oper
for entry in California, Washington
and Oregon. Farther inland in the
Canadian northwest lie the Rocky
mountain tablelands, but we have vast
empires In our own Rocky mountain
tablelands scattered through Idaho
and the other mountain states. There
is scarcely an advantage mentioned
by the Canadian press agent, although
painted in his most glowing style, that
q superior advantage cannot be found
in the more temperate cline of cor
responding section Of our own land.
Canada is nearly as large as the
United States and has been settled as
long. Yet it contains only about 1O,-
100000 people as compared with our
93OO0,OO0. If the Dominion is such a
bonanza as the Canadian governments
paid reading notices and advertise
ments state, why has the country so

THE STORY OF CEMENT

Y J
No man knows the history Of ce-
ment. Wander among the ruins of
ancient Rome and you will find solid
masonry, laid with cement from vol
canic ash mixed with lime and wa
ter. History does not tell who laid
these stones and how the first mason
discovered the secret of his mortar.
Visit the ruined cities of Aztecs in
Central America and you will find in
tact their ancient masonry, laid with
cement and walls still standing made
from cement and rubble.
Cement, as we know it, is made
from a mixture of lime, silica and alu-
nina. These things, in the right pro-
portion, have the property of coher-
ing until the product finally becomes
as hard as stone. The lime is usu-
ally secured by burning limestone,
the silica and alumina are natural
products of clay.
There are three distinct kinds of
cement, of which the Portland is the
best known; so called because it hap
pens to resemble a certain kind of
gray rock on the Island of Portland,
near England. Portland cement was
first made in England in 1926 and it
was not until 1878 that the industry
was brought to this country The
first cement works in the United
States was at Coplay, Pa. Up to the
year 1894 the output of the few ce-
ment factories in this country was
very small. In 1891 only 13 per cent
of all the cement used here was made
in this country; the rest came from
England and Germany. But the
|growth of this business was the most
marvellous of anything in the whole
history of the industrial development
of the country In 1900 we were
making so per cent of all the cement
used in the world, and the cement in
dustry has since grown with leaps and
bounds until today our plants are
models for the world
In modern cement plant the raw
material is brought to the plant in
cars and dumped into bins for the
several mills, and from then on, until
lit is packed in bags ready for ship
ment, it is handled by electrically-op-
lerated machinery.
It might be well at this point to ex-
plain briefly the processes of manu-
facture, so that we may get better
idea of the electrical equipment. The
raw material from the storage bins is
first dried and crushed and ready for
mixing. The various materials are
then mixed in their proper proper
lions, pulverized and delivered to the
burner building, where the raw ma
terial is thoroughly fused to clinker.
The clinker is then delivered by cleo
trio cranes to clinker storage bins and
allowed to cool, after which it is con-
lveyed to the finishing mills, recrushed
and pulverized, and then delivered to
the stock houses as finished product.
Here the cement is packed into bags
! eady for shipment.
One of the main reasons why the
cement industry has grown so fast is
because it was fostered and helped by
the best engineers of the world. It
was among the first of the industries
to be completely electrified and today
nearly every cement plant is run by
electric power. 1t is electricity which
handles the material and drives the
powerful crushers and grinders. This
same power pulverizes the coal and
blows it into the drier kilns where the
cement is roasted to clinker. Even

Campaign Smacks Of Treason.

Every American who loves his cOun.
try should feel sense of burning in
dignation at this deliberate publicity
campaign carried on to induce our
farmers to locate in Canada. This is
an astounding piece Of effrontery. 1t
is an outrage against the nation and
has in it the essence of treason.
I have before me sample Of one
of these pages. In reading notice
that carries none of the marks Of an
advertisement is given an account of
the awarding of silver trophy for
the best peck of oats to citizen of
Saskatchewan. The trophy was given
by the corn exposition at Columbus
o. So far the item seems an innocent
piece of news Now note the cloven
hoof. The article goes on to say:
At the same exposition there were ex-
hibits of wheat and barley, and in all
these competitions the grain shown by
Canada secured a wonderful amount of
attention and also a number of awards
"A pleasing feature Of these exhibits was
they weret mostly made by farmers who
had at one time been American citizens
and were now farming in Canada.
In the following extracts from the
same item the purpose is made still
more apparent:

just completed map showing that a
large area of land was surveyed last year

National Patriotism Involved.

Better one good crop year under the

viting wilderness and under the ban
ner our fathers fought in two wars to
Danish from this continent.
Anything can be made to look good
on paper. The lure of Canada is a
press agent lure. 1t is the familiar
real estate song made to attract the
unwary and paid for at so much per
line. If the frozen north were really
so desirable as these press agent ar
ticles would have us believe, there
would not be need for all this alluring
advertising put out to catch suckers.

HUMAN BOATS.
Swimmers Who Used to Rig Them
selves With Sails.

Swimmers Who Used to Rig Them
selves With Sails.
When you throw a piece of wood into
the water and watch how nicely it
floats, has it never occurred to you to
make yourself into a boat and to go
floating about as easily and coolly as
a real boat does?
This may sound very queer, but to
one who has confidence In himself it
is quite practicable. as was proved
many years ago by DR.. Bedale of
Manchester. This gentleman. a noted
long distance swimmer. was often to
be seen floating about the river Mer-
sey for hours at a time. He used to
fasten strong belt round his waist
and attach to it light mast and sail,
which he could furl or unfurl as he lay
comfortably on his back, and no doubt
it was very enjoyable.
This was carried a step further by
another noted swimmer, Captain Boy
ton, who used to think nothing Of sail
ing up and down the English channel
clad in dress inflated with air and
with a sail fixed to his feet. Once.
indeed. he actually crossed the chan
mel from Dover to Calais, but on this
occasion he used paddle with which
to steer himself.-Pearson's Weekly.

A MENACE TO OIL SHIPS.
The Deadly vapor That Stays After

The Deadly vapor That Stays After
the Petroleum 10 Gone.
The explosion Of vessels carrying pc
troleum frequently occurs, and this is
generally caused not by the cargoes OF
oil which they contain, but by the in
fiammable vapor which is left behind
after the huge tanks OF the ships have
been emptied.
1t is difficult to remove all the Oil
that adheres to the sides Of the tank,
and the evaporation of the oil film
left in them after they have been
pumped out takes place with great
rapidity. Moreover. the vapor thus
formed mingIes readily with the air
and is capable Of rendering more than
1900 times its own volume of the for
mer inf1ammab BILE. A spark may thus
cause fearful explosion in the hold

WASHING THE DISHES.

Suggestions to His Brothers by The

Tonight want to offer my brother
husbandettes a valuable hint about
dishwashing.
When you do the dishes don't set
the dispan In the bottom Of the sink,
as most men do. Sinks may be the
right height for women, but they are
too low for men.
For months j suffered from crick in
the back, aching shoulders, stif neck
and abdominal cramps. consulted
our family physician without obtain
ing relief.
At last, quite by accident, lit on
the cause Of my trouble. A pile OF
skillets and saucepans had been left
in the sink, and I put the dishpan on
them. Then was not obliged to
bend over so far as usual, and that
day. I had hardly any lumbago pains
at all.
Since then have rested the dishpan
on couple Of bricks placed In the
bottom Of the sink, and l wash the
dishes standing almost erect The
roses are coming back into my cheeks,
and our whole home is brighter as a
result Of my lucky discovery.
am sure that my men readers will
be saved many miserable hours If they
will follow my suggestion. The bricks
may be used between times as door
shoppers, foot warmers or nutcrackers.
