is PRETTY ORNAMENT
CHEMICAL GARDEN A MOST EF.
FEcTIvE cENTERPIEcE.
Not At all Costly, and Easy to Pre-.
pare-5sautlfuI Designs Possible
II the Proper Materials Are
Employed.

II is very easy TO secure q most
charming effect by the formation Of q
chemical garden. The best kind ol
receptacle Is a glass vessel OF some
kind or other. and. on the whole, there
IL nothing better for the purpose than
globe such as is commonly EN-
ployed for goldfish.
All that need be purchased are a
couple OF ounces OF sulphate OF cop
per, few pieces OF aluminium. hand
full OF iron nails and finally can OF
water glass" This latter substance
is, OF course, extensively used for
preserving eggs.
The first step is to arrange an inch
or so OF sand in the bottom Of the
globe. Then place the sulphate OF
copper, the aluminium and the iron
nails on the layer. The different min
erals should be well mixed up togeth'
er.
A solution OF the water glass should
now be prepared. taking one part OF
this material to three parts OF plain
water. Mix well by means OF continu'
GUS stirring with stick. The next
thing to do Is to pour the solution OF
water glass over the minerals; the
actual quantity OF the liquid employed
will depend upon the size Of the glass
vessel. but It may be mentioned that
in depth the solution should not be
less than four inches.
The globe is now placed aside where
1t will not be disturbed for week.
At the end Of this time 1t will be seen
that a most beautiful growth, in al
most all conceivable colors, has start
ed up from the minerals. This growth
OF course, represents the sillcates OF
the various substances. Most people
will be astonished at the beautiful ef'
feet which Is secured.
The final step consists In clearing
away the water glass. This must be
carried out with great care, as many
Of the growths are Of a fragile de.
scription. Probably the best plan is
to take the globe to faucet and very
gently run water into the vessel until
the contents look quite clear.
Naturally after this has been done
the growths will appear to even finer
advantage than they did when first OF
all observed. The chemical garden
will now last for long while II it is
not disturbed by frequent moving
about.

CANADA'S PLACE
AS A PRODUCER
Canada Is Getting a Great Many
Americans.

Three young provinces, Manitoba.
Saskatchewan. and Alberta" says q
New York financial journal. have nj
ready made Winnipeg one Of the great
est primary wheat markets Of the
world. In 1904 they raised $4,000. 900
bushels Of wheat. Five years later
they produced 160,000.000 bushels. In
1913 the crop approximated 20O.OOOs--
900 bushels. At the present rate OF
progress Canada must soon pasS
France and India, and stand third IN
the line OF wheat producers. Ulti-
mately It will dispute with Russia and
the United States for the first position.
Wheat has been the pioneer OF our
development. Undoubtedly It win
prove the same with Canada. In the.
last calendar year our trade with Can
ada amounted to 497 million dollars-
Only with two countries-the United
Kingdom and Germany-is our trade
greater. No vivid imagination In
needed to see what the future devel-'
opment OF Canada means to the
people of the United States.
The influx OF American settlers to
the Canadian prairies is now in full
swing. Within the past few days
over 80 OF those arrived at Bassano-
carrying with them effects and capital
to the value OF 100000. Fifty settlers
from Oregon arrived in Alberta q few
days ago; while Is families Of settlers
from the state OF Colorado arrived at
Calgary on their journey northwards.
The goods and personal effects Of this
party filed 20 box cars. or live stock
alone they had 175 horses, Is cows
and 1000 head Of poultry. Another
class of settler has arrived at Peers.
10 miles west of Edmonton, where no
fewer than 200 German farmers have
taken up land. These are from good
farming families and brought with
them a large amount of capital.
Then in South Western Saskatche-
wan, there are large numbers settling,
these from the United States predomi-
mating, while in the northern and CEN
trail portions of all these provinces,
the settlement Of new people is going
on steadily. Early In April. Peter
Goertz arrived In Cardiff after q SIX
day journey from Mcpherson, Kansas.
Mr.. Goertz who had purchased land
here was in charge OF a party Of 3S
people from the same part of Kansas
and they came through with a special
train which included all their stock
and implements. The equipment was
all Rock Island cars, and was the first
full immigrant train ever sent out by
that railroad. The farms purchased
by the members OF the party are
amongst the best in the district.

Pittsburg, July 1a-After six months
of legal battle, Harry *. Thaw in
decision handed DOM by Judge James
w. over in Orphans court today, is
awarded the income from his father
estate which has Been denied him by
the trustees since BE was adjudged in
sane for the slaying of Stanford
White. By the decision, Thaw gets
s16O,773. Judge over says Thaw is
legally entitled to the money, despite
the fact that aliepists declare he is
suffering from AMI exaggerated sense
of self which would make it unwise
to commit any large sums of money
into his personal charge.
The fight for the income began last
January when Thaw filed a petition
asking for $4,000 to defray legal ex-
penses. The Fidelity Trust Co. of
Pittsburg, the trustees took exception.
The court allowed the petition. Later
the Trust Co. was permitted to send
alienists to examine Thaw, claiming
he was insane. Thaw refused to sub
nit to an examination, it is said. The
Trust Co. then asked that Thaw be
compelled to submit The demurrer
to this motion, filed by Thaw's attor-
neys, was sustained in Judge Overs
decision today.

Seattle, Wash, July 15.-The federal
grand jury today returned indictments
under the Sherman antitrust law
against the members of the so-called
Halibut Trust, which controls most
of the halibut fisheries in the North
Atlantic, North Pacific and Boring
seas, the product of which is sold in
the United States.
Indictments were returned against

the San Juan Fishing & Packing Co.,
the Occidental Fish Co.; A. B. Car

ter president of the Booth Fisheries
Co. of Washington; William Clavert,
Jr., president of the San Juan Fish
ing & Packing Co, and w. j. Mad
dock, buyer for the Booth interests.
The indictments allege conspiracy to
control and limit the supply and price
of halibut taken from the waters Of
the North Pacific and North Atlantic
oceans and Boring sea and shipped
through the markets of Seattle, Ia
coma, Vancouver and Prince Rupert,
b. c., and Boston. to control the price
paid to Independent dealers for fish,
by making exorbitant and unreason-
able bids against them; to control the
price by refusing to bid against one
another; to control the distribution or
halibut through the market by pre-
tended competition against one an
other: to control prices by refraining
from good faith competition in mar
kets allotted by agreement among the
indicted firms, and to control the
markets and prices by intimidation
and coercion of independent dealers.
