her son here with tears OF Joy
over what she thought was his
return from the West" Who'll

She is Mrs. Mary Gartner,

son. Nolan L. Gartner, was sem
tgflced to serve a term OF six
years in the penitentiary for
making false entries in the
books Of the Kingston bank,
which failed.
Fearing knowledge Of his
sentence would cause the old
mothers death, relatives con-
ccaIcd It from her. She is too
old to read, and care was taken
that she should not hear
through nclghbors of the trial.
The son told her he was go
ing West 10 work for an insur-
ancc company when he left
home to go to the pcnitentiary
and she helped him pack his
trunk for the long journey.
Regularly during the past
two years lie has written her

the letters were written on
prison letter heads, she did not
know 1t. for they were read to
her. Now relatives reclare she
never shall learn the truth.
Gartner was paroled ycstcr-

FIGHTING SEA-SICKNESS

At last, 1t is claimed, sea-sickness is
going to be abolished. The gyroscope
is what is relied upon to accomplish
this exceedingly desirable consumma-
tion. You install a graduated selec-
ton of these scientific double spin
ning-tops aboard your ship, and forth
with she ceases to roll or pitch.
So, at least, says the inventor of
the apparatus; but the ordinary indi-
vidual will probably "hae his doots. "
He has heard the same story before.
For instance, there was the famous
antisea-sick steamer, Bessemer, with
its adjustable swinging saloon"
which, it was intended, should always
preserve a horizontal floor. AS a mat
ter of fact, the Bessemer rolled worse
than any tramp.
Yet another attempt to overcome
the evil was that made by a French
man named Bazin. In effect, his idea
was to construct a steamer on wheels.
Not paddle-wheels, be it understood,
but semi-submerged hollow steel discs
which should roll partly through and
partly over the water. bearing the YES
sci with them. Alas for his hopes!
The roller boat proved impracticable
even in smooth water while in rough.

LAKE DRIES, THEN REFILLS

Near Lorrach, in the Black Forest
is the strangest lake in the world. II
is called the Eichener See, and is per
fectly dry for from ten to thirteen
years at time, after which periods
subterranean springs refill the lake
without any previous warning, flooding
and destroying any crops that have
been planted. The soil in the bed OF
the lake is very productive, but the
farmers and peasants never know in
what year their work will be useless
and their young crops drowned" A
few weeks ago the Eichener See, after
having been dry for the last ten years
began refilling with water, which in
the deepest part is now fifteen feet
the average depth being twelve feet
The waters of the lake generally re-
main a year or two, and then gradual
ly disappear into the earth, leaving .
rich soil behind.

! Speed has appealed pre-eminently. to
racing men and to what may appro-
| priately be termed the nautical aero
bats, and in some senses this speed

stances of its employment. The vic

high velocity multiplies the hazard or
the difficulty of alighting as we'll as
increasing the danger of engine trou-
BILE and shortness of the life of the
motor.
For war purposes an aeroplane mo-
tor should work efficiently at different
speeds because varying drive power
wifi be needed for dissimilar services,
A motor of this sort would lend itself
TO relatively low speed so that the
flying machine could return to ths
ground much as a vessel slackens her
headway when coming up to her dock.
Captain Chambers has a very definite
opinion upon this subject, which he
explains as follows
"A weight carrying aeroplane, such
as hydroaeroplane, necessarily needs

needed to reduce the danger of alight-
ing. / think aviation would be i'm

contests were arranged SO as to re-
quire each contestant to go over the
course twice-the second time at an
average speed 20 per cent. lower than
his highest average"
The layman has heard so much Of
anti-balloon guns and other weapons
for the annihilation Of all kinds of air
craft, that he pictures the flying ma
chine as being knocked into bits by
the precise fire of these weapons. AS
a matter of fact, during the war in
Tripoli the Italian aeroplanes were
but seldom hit, never disastrously, and
when up in the air three thousand feet
they we're not touched at all. Ame-i-
can naval aviators, with their hydro
aeroplanes, have proved that it is en-
tirely feasible for them to reach this
height, and so far as endurance Of
fight is concerned, they hold the rec

ventors have developed an aeroplane
weight, and with this equipment
aviators are able to cover a range OF
fifty miles.
The next naval conflict is likely to
find hydroaeroplanes a feature of the
essential equipment of all large men-of-
war, and the flying machine must be
considered seriously and not as a mere
fad or mechanical achievement of no
material value. In peace-time maneu-
vers the French have clearly shown
that the aeroplane is capable Of doing
scout duty of an important character,
detecting not only ships upon the wa
ter but the presence of submarines
supposedly hidden below the surface
OF the sea; and recent experiments
with armor piercing bombs-dropped
from aircraft-have turned a new
page in the art of warfare.

HENS THAT HATCH FISH

AS is generally known, big quanti-
ty of fish spawn is annually lost. To
avoid this, fish rearers in China care
fully collect spawn from the surface
of the water, and when they have Sc
cured a sufficient quantity they take a
number of hens eggs. the contents OF
which have been carefully emptied
through a small aperture, and refill
the shells with the spawn. The holes
are then sealed up, and the eggs put
under broody hens.
The hens are allowed to incubate
the eggs for certain number of days,
when the eggs are again broken and
their contents put into water that
has been previously warmed by the
sun. In a very short space of time
the spawn matches, and the young fry
are then kept in pure. fresh water

GOOD TIMES IN CANADA

the outcome of the last fiscal year,
which ended on March 81, will prove
even more satisfactory as rejecting
by far the highest pitch to which our
national prosperity has yet attained. I
have every expectation that when the
books are closed, 1t will be found that
the total revenue will have reached
the splendid total OF $16S,25000O, or
an increase over the year 1911-12 OF
over S32,OO0,000. Some indication OF
the magnificent growth of the Dom'n-
ion may be CLEANED from the fact that
this increase in revenue during the Pc
riod Of one year almost equals the en-
tire revenue of the country seventy
years ago.
"The augmentation of revenue 70
which l have referred has not been
irregular spasmodlc or intermittent.
in its nature, but has steadily charao-
terized each month of the entire fiscal
year. 1t was of course mainly derived
from Customs receipts, but the other
sources Of revenue-excise, post ONCE
and railways-also gave US very sub
