A report dealing with the coal re-
sources Of Canada has been issued by
the Dominion Department Of Mines.
The estimates given are only based on
what is known. In the western and
northern regions. which have been
little explored, there may be vast de-
posts of which nothing whatever 10
known at present. The officials of the
department estimate that Of btu
minous coal there Is in Canada 1914
billion tons; Of anthracite 461 mill
lion tons; sub bitumInous and Ignite
over 100 billion tons. The quantity
of coal now annually mined In Canada
is about IL million tons. With an es-
timated quantity of unmixed good coal,
Of IA billion tons, 1t would require
6.166 years to exhaust the supply. II
the inferior grades were included, sup
ply would last for 14,575 years. OF
course the coal demands of Canada
will keep on increa sing. but 1t will be
a good many years before the quantity
Of Canadian coal mined will equal
present output of the United States
mines. Their annual output is about
500,00O,00O tons. At that rate it
would take only 145 years to exhaust
the estimated Canadian supply OF
good coal. and about $50 years to get
to the end of the tota: supply. And
with the increasing population, made
no Of about four hundred thousand per-
sons year land 1t looks now as II this
number would be reached this year,.

TOP OF DROWNED CONTINENT

The British museum is Quitting an
expedition to the Pacific to try to
solve the problem Of gigantic prehh-
toric stone images Of human beings
discovered on Carter island, mere
speck in the ocean, about $500 miles
west OF Chilli. tz
It is thought that maybe this little
isle of mystery Is the last pinnacle OF
a submerged continent which once In
hygone ages occupied the greater part
of the South Pacific and possibly
Joined Asia and America. The inhabi-
tants may have gradually been forced
to the top of the last peak, there to
perish. only after they had erected
their wonderful monuments.
The island is only forty-five square
miles in area, but on 1t there have
been raised immense platforms facing
the sea and formed OF huge stones
fitted together without cement. Some
OF the separate stones weigh five
tons, and the sea wall at places is
80 feet high and 200 feet long. On
the land side Of the platforms there
are broad stone terraces. on which
stand, upon pedestals, huge figures

first thing to be determined is wheth-

tirely different treatment employed in
the two cases.
The chewing insects are compare
lively easy to get rid Of, unless they
are working on the foliage, which will
be injured by the application Of a
poison strong enough to kill the In
sects. -
The sucking insects insert their bills
through the skin of the leaf or stem
that they are feeding on. so as to ex-
tract the juice, therefore no matter
how much poison is applied to the sur
face. the insects get none of it.
For the striped beetle, which is de-
structive to squash, cucumber and
melon vines, slight application Of
lime. tobacco dust, plaster. or ashes.
will be found good preventive. and
will also drive away those which may

ODD SHOWERS OF SPIDERS

Gilbert White gives an account OF
spider shower that continued for
nearly a whole day. Darwin saw one
at sea. Each spider was supported,
1t appears, by tiny parachute com.
posed OF few threads Of almost In
visible gossamer. Spider showers
have from time to time been made the
subject OF scientific reports in this
country. One OF them gives this
description OF the phenomenon:
On the morning OF this shower
there had been some electrical dis
turbance There had been one loud
peal Of thunder but no rain. At 10
o'clock there was observed number
OF spiders that ran over the coat
sleeves Of the observer. He brushed
on several trails Of gossamer web.
Upon looking about he discovered
that the houses, walls and trees
showed these webs dangling from
them: and that other gossamer webs
were continually falling from above
and adding to the accumulation.
BY midday fence was festooned
from point to point OF its triangular
rail tops with ribbonlike ladder OF
gossamer, and this continued to be
come broader and broader as the tiny!
creatures continued to run along this
ladder, each spider increasing the
breadth by adding its own contribu-
tton OF another silken thread
All along this ladder the spiders
were running in an excited and ,hur-,
ried manner. as If they has lost their
way in a strange country. Some. in
proceeding over their improvised
road, made mistakes and got into the
bordering webs OF the garden spiders.
by which they were speedily de-
voured.
At / o'clock the clouds vanished.
the sun came out and the observer
noticed that some OF the spiders had
begun to reascend into the atmos-
phere. Fixing his gaze upon one of
them he observed that as it left the
gossamer pathway 1t selected clean
spot on an iron railing and. gathering
It's legs closely together. projected Its
spinnerets, several threads that ex-
tended outward and stretched up
ward from nine to twelve inches.
Then this parachute seemed to show
buoyant tendency. and suddenly the
tiny creature let go OF the iron rail.
or was lifted OF it.. and quickly vail
ished into the air.
