How to See THROUGH Paper.

A very remarkable experiment
which any one can repeat with very
little trouble has been unearthed by Z.
German. Take piece of paper Of
such thickness that, when it is laid
upon piece of printed matter, the
characters just show through, but can
not be read. Placing 1t over printed
sheet, impart to 1t a circular motion
to and fro, and to your surprise you
will find that now you can read the
print below the paper.
It is rather difficult to explain this
peculiar effect. The explanation Of
fered is that the paper has thin places
In 1t, and by rapidly moving 1t over
the print, every part Of the printed
matter is exposed in turn underneath
one or the other Of the thin places in
the paper, and thus the entire print
can be read. However that may be,
the experiment is interesting and very
simple, requiring for its performance
only the simplest means imaginable.

CROP CONDITIONS IN
WESTERN CANADA
ARE THE MOST PROMISING FOR
MANY YEARS.

The deepest interest Is attached to
the condition of the grain crops In
Western Canada, especially among
the thousands in the United States
who are financially interested In lands
In that country. This interest is fully
as great among those who have
friends there following farming and
the growing of grain.
The reports from Canadian govern
ment officials convey the information
that the area under crop this year In
the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatche.
wan and Alberta will probably be no
greater than that of last year. Last
fall the weather was such that there
was not as much fall blowing as had
been hoped for. The getting ready of
land this spring made considerable
portion Of the grain late in seeding.
Notwithstanding this, wheat, oats,
barley and fax were got in In good
shape, although from a week to ten
days later than last year. On the
9th of June the reports regarding
crop conditions generally In Western
Canada were: Abundant sunshine
with timely and copious rain through.
out Western Canada gives every as
s1rance Of generous harvest. Climatic
conditions In recent weeks have been
absolutely ideal. Western correspon-
dents agree in predicting every indi-
cation Of a bumper crop under favor
able conditions. Wheat should be
headed out In Manitoba between July
10th and 18th, and In Saskatchewan
and Alberta from 18th to 18th. The
oat crop is looking we'll, although late
and rather short In straw"
This Is followed by a report July
9Th: Crop conditions continue in
same satisfactory condition as last
week. Plenteous rains have fallen all
over prairie provinces, followed by
general warm and splendid growing
weather. Experts agree sufficient
moisture for many weeks, while crop
Is ten to fifteen days late, prospects
are extremely favorable and condi-
tional upon reasonable weather for
next four weeks. Splendid western
crop is assured"
There is, therefore, the best reason
to anticipate most magnificent crops
throughout Western Canada in 1913.(

In the MAKING of Mirrors.

A chemical action of the ultravio-
let rays, applicable to the making Of
mirrors, was recently demonstrated
at the French Academy of Sciences.
This action consists in decomposing
gaseous metallic compounds and pre-
cipitating the metal In finely divided
particles on glass to form rejecting
surface. By this method it is possible
to produce mirrors backed by a re-
rejecting layers of zinc. anthony and
other nonprecious metals. 1t Is said
that the result compares favorably

The Sergeant walked over to the

realized the truth Of all Hughes said,
and yet had to fight fiercely his incli-
nation to hasten to her rescue. The
very thought of her alone in those
ruthless hands was torture. There was
no selfshness In the man't heart, No
hope of winning this girl for himself,
yet he knew now that he loved her;
that for him she was the one woman

memory; the very soughing Of the

the real man in him-the plainsman

thick swirl of fakes that beat
against their faces. The three horses,
powdered white, stood tails to the
storm, with head to the bluff, while
the drifts completely covered Carroll.
He was sleeping, warm in the blan-
kets, and the two men picked him up
and stumbled along with their burden
to the shelter Of the cabin. Then
Hughes faced the blizzard again, lead

Hamlin ministered to the semi-con-

pile of soft skins, and vigorously rub
bling his limbs to restore circulation.
The man was stupid from exposure,
