This Parisian Planned a Most Dra-
 matic Taking of.

WdSlC ldHSO8 SUs
 Some years ago, wien there was an epidemic of dramatic suicides In Paris, man who had visited the French capital told of an extraordinary sui eide he had heard of in that gay city.
 He was Frenchman. who was nothing if not original" said the teller of the tale, "and even when he grew Respondent he planned his death in most original fashion. He locked the door of his room in the Rue Nitot and, removing the weights of the window cord. fastened them to the window it. self He added to the weight of the window by attaching six latirons. On the sill he adjusted large triangular bread knife. such as is used by chefs. and made ready q small balloon, capa- ble of lifting fifty pounds.
 "The ingenious Frenchman then put his head out of the window after at taching the balloon to his neck and ly releasing the clamp that held the win dow cut his head off completely with the improvised guillotine The decap' itated body was discovered several days later, but 1t was not until the balloon and the head were found week later in the field of peasant. eighteen miles from Paris. that the method of suicide was really known"

THE BLUE OF THE SKY.
1t ls Caused by the Oxygen In the Air,
 Says a Scientist.

It ls Caused by the Oxygen In tho Air,
 Says a Scientist.
 Professor Spring of the University of Liege has theory of his own regard ing the blue of the sky.
 Scientists have tried to explain the blue of the sky ever since the days of Leonardo da Vinci and Sir Isaac New ton. Some have held that it was due to the polarization of the solar light, while others have held that the blue- ness is due to the reflection, or, rather, the vibration. upon the minute drops of water which the atmosphere holds in suspension or upon the matter in the atmosphere. according to Tyndall.
 Professor Spring has rejected all these theories. denying the dust theo- ry" altogether He holds with Lord Rayleigh that instead of the dust in- creasing the blueness it diminishes it greatly. And according to Professor Spring, all of the appearances of blue tints in the atmosphere are applicable when we consider liquid oxygen. Liquid air is known to be decidedly blue in color. so the contention that blueness is due to the oxygen in the air seems to be substantiated.
 If condensed and liquid air are blue in color it is most probable that the blueness of the sky is due to the oxy' gen in it.-New York World.

CANADA WINS AGAIN
THE COLORADO SILVER TROPHY
FOR OATS WON A SECOND
TIME By CANADA.

The most recent achievement OF
Canada's West is winning for the sec
ond time the magnificent $500 silver
RADIO for the best peck OF oats. AT
Columbus. Ohio, in 1911, J. c. Hill &
Sons OF Lloydminster. Saskatchewan.
placed a peck OF oats grown on their
farm in competition, with oats from
every part of the world. The judges
had no difficulty In deciding. and the
award was given TO the Saskatchewan
grown oats. In 1912. the Corn Expo
sition had no exhibition. and our Ca.
madam friends, although ready for
second contest had no opportunity.
In 1913, the exhibition OF the Society
was held at Columbus, s. c., and IL is
said OF IL that IL was one OF the best
yet held. At this exhibition. which
comprised corn and all the smaller
grains, Hill & Sons OF Lloydminster
had on exhibition for the contest an
other peck OF oats grown on their
Saskatchewan farm, in 1912. There
was no trouble for the judges, no time
necessarily lost in reaching a decision,
Hill & Sons won, and for the second
time their name will appear on the
crest OF the cup. The third space will
doubtless be occupied by their name,
and then this splendid trophy will be
theirs.
During the past few years Western
Canada grains-wheat, oats, barley and
fax-have been in competition with
grains from all other countries, and In
every case their superiority has been
shown. 1t is not only in oats, but II
is In wheat, in barley and in fax, that
Canada more than holds it's own, when
placed side by side with grains from
other parts.
Mixed farming is taking a strong
hold not only in those parts OF Mani
.oba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
which up to the present have been de-
Toted solely TO grain growing, but also
m the districts contiguous, where the
ronditions OF climate, shelter, water
grass and hay make farming Of this
hind, easy to prosecute and large In
profits. II was in the Province OF
Manitoba that the steer was raised
ahat carried off the Championship OF
she steer class, at Chicago last De-
rember. This beast had been fattened
on the grass and hay OF the Province
and the only finishing grain it had was
barley; not an ounce OF corn.
Western Canada presents innumer.
able opportunities for the big farmer
who wants to cultivate his thousands
of acres, the medium man satisfied
with few hundred acres, the man
who is content TO farm his free home
stead of one hundred and sixty acres;
II has opportunities for the investor

manufacturer and the laborer.
