London.-What Is declared to be the
only unattended lighthouse built on a
wave-washed rock, possessing a pow
erful fog signal, is the recently-com'
pleted Platte Fougere lighthouse,
marking the entrance to the Russell
channel leading to the Guernsey cap

figures in Victor Hugo's great ro-

unattended tower, built of ~ferro-con'

rock, is of irregular o~ctagonal shape,
measuring 14h feet and IT feet
across the faces and so feet in height.
The head of the rock on which 1t
stands is visible only at low tide,
while it is difficult to approach even
in the smoothest weather owing TO
the tides and currents. Much OF the
foundation work had to be carried out
under water. The tower is solid for a

WESTERN CANADA'S
NATURAL RESOURCES
PETROLEUM, NATURAL GAS. COAL
AND FARM LANDS.

The developments that have taken
place recently in the oil and gas fields
of Western Canada have but added
another to the many previous evil
dences that have been produced,
showing the great wealth that has
been an unknown asset for so many
generations.
The latest reports from the OIL
fields at Calgary show that there is a
production there that would appear
to equal the best paying fields on the
continent. Experts have been on the
ground for some time. 1t is said that
one Of the wells is able to produce
1000 gallons an hour. If this is so
there are but about a dozen wells in
the world Of greater production. Dur
Ing the past week discoveries of sur
face indications have been made which
show that oil exists over a consider
able portion Of Alberta and Saskatche-
wan, while in Manitoba there have al
SO been showings. At B%attleford,
Saskatchewan, a few days ago discov-
cries were made which led to the fl
ing for leases on twenty thousand
acres Of land, all having strong sur
face indications. Companies were
formed to carry on immediate work,
and in a couple of months, or probably
less, the story will be told whether oil
exists in paying quantities.
But there are also the coal deposits
md tho natural Oac domestic that ara
helping to make of Western Canada
one of the wealthiest portions of the
continent.
With the grain fields covering these
hidden riches it is no wonder that a
continued range Of optimism is to be
seen everywhere. Early reports of
seeding of all grains being successful
ly completed all over the country are
followed by reports of excellent and
strong growth everywhere. During
the first week in June most Of the
wheat had reached a growth of from
twelve to twenty inches, with the most
even appearance, almost universally,
that has been seen for years. Oats
appeared equally well, and covered the
ground in a way that brought the
broadcast kind of a grin to overspread
the farmers c~ountenance.
Barley, a favorite with the hog rails
ers, had taken good root, and was
crowding oats for a first place, as to
length of shoot. Cultivated fodder
grasses are getting great attention,
as a consequence Of the inclination to
20 more largely into mixed farming,
and the raising Of hogs, cattle and
horses. The weather is reported fine,
just what Is needed, and if present
favorable conditions continue, the
grain crop of Western Canada for 1914
will be the largest average in the his
tory of the country.-Advertisement.

ON EGYPT'S FAMOUS RIVER
Sailing on Its Placid Waters Rowers
Weirdly Chant as They Tug
at Their Oars.

AS we sat on deck, beneath the min
arets of the mosque, the skies slowly
turned from orange to lilac and purple
of night, throwing a strange pink light
yer the city's buildings, Ariche Bell
writes in the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The minosa trees and date palms be-
came black and great white cranes,
seemingly knowing that their wings

azure river and over the many white

along in the breezeless night, propelled
by rowers who were chanting weirdly
as they tugged at the oars.
Dimly we could see the black draped
figures of numberless women approach
the rivers brink and we knew that the
splashes in the water were caused by
the dropping of the heavy jugs, which
they twirl around till they are filled,
after which they raise them %laborious-
ly to their heads and then skip up the
banks and disappear in the darkness of
the night.
The sounds of the city ceased and all
was quiet. All but the p~laintive lay of
a piper who must have been some
where not far off on the bank Of the

FRENCH LEGION OF HONOR
Highly-Prized Decoration Which Every
Son of France Has the Ambl-

The first decorations of the Legion
of Honor, the famous French order of
merit, were conferred in 1902 upon
military and civil officers who had dis
tinguished themselves under the con-
sulate. The order was founded May
10, 1902, by Napoleon, when he was
first consul. 1t consisted of various
grades, as grand crosses, grand Off
GERS, commanding officers and legion
aries, and was a reward for services
Of merit. The order was confirmed by
Louis XVIII when the Bourbons were
returned to the throne a century ago,
and it has been continued, with neces-
sary changes in the constitution,
through the reigns of Charles X, Louis
Philippe, Napoleon III, and the second
and third republics. Many Americans
and British subjects and other for
eigners have received the decorations
of the Legion of Honor.
