BALANCE KEPT BY NATURE
Increase of the Human Race Seems to
Be Regulated by Wars and
Other Devastations.

Every year., according to scientists
who attempt to keep the general rec
ords, at least S0,0 Q O 900 human beings
are born on this earth and so, 0O0, 600
or 10000, 900 die. This indicates a
daily birth rate of about 100000 and
a death rate of 10000. The daily
increase in population therefore is
about 10000. The total population OF
the globe is estimated at 1900, 600, 900.
The ravages Of war do little to inn
pede the increase. Far more effective
have been the ~upheavals Of nature.
The Franco-Prussian war killed about
10000 in seven months. The death
roll Of the Russo-Japanese reached
about 100000. A single earthquake
(1737, in India) has been estimated to
have caused 100000 deaths. The IA
talities of the Messina earthquake. in
1908 cannot have been far short of
100000. A tidal wave in 1896 drowned
$1,000 persons in Japan, causing a
greater loss of life than the whole
war with China in 1894. The earth.
quake in Japan in 1903 is said to have
killed 100000 people. The Lisbon
earthquake in 1855 destroyed $4,000
human lives, while 10000 were lost in
the same year in earthquake in Per.

The Siberian Ivory.
From the Washington Star

$3.50
Not all the ivory brought to market
is derived from living animals. Certain
ivory is obtained from animals long
since dead-relios. indeed, of a remote
age. Ivory of this sort is found in ST.
IBERIA, the ivory of a creature unknown.
1t is cut from the tusks of mastodons
whose skeletons are found rozen in
masses Of ice or buried in the mud OF
Siberian rivers and swamps. The
northern part Of the country abounds
in extensive boys, which are called ur-
mans. and in these are found the tusks
OF the maStoden. 1t is inferred that
these animals lost their lives by ven
turing upon a surface not capable Of
sustaining their weight.
To most creatures these are
forbidden ground. The nimble rein
deer can sometimes effect a passage
or them In safety during ummer but
other large and heavy animals at
tempting to emulate these deer would
be engulfed.
In the Tobolsk museum are to be
seen various specimens Of mammoth,
and throughout this region they are
not at all rare. When an ice pack
breaks down a liver bank, or the sum
mer thaw penetrates deeper than usual
into the ground. some of these antedi-
uv1an monsters are very likely to be
exposed.
In many cases their remains are SO
ASoA anu Well preserved, with their
dark. shaggy hair and underwood of
reddish brown. their tufted ears and
long, curved tusks. That all the aborig-
ines. and even some of the Russian
settlers, believe that they are speci-
mems of animals that still live, bur
rowing ike moles, and that they die
the instant they are admitted to the
light.
The farther north one proceeds. the
more abundant are these remains. They
are washed up with the tides upon the
arctic saores, and some extensive ISL
anas Off the coast contain great uuan-
titles Of fossil ivory and bones.
Iusks long or repeatedly exposed to
the air are brittle and unserviceable,
put those which have remained buried
In the ice retain the qualities Of re-
cent ivory and are a valuable article of
merchandise. The greatest market for
these mammoth tusks is Yakutsk on
the Lena. Thence they find their way
to workshops of European Russia and
to the ivory carvers of Canton.

cepted with a widespread a~pprecia-
ton, and not met with attempts on
the part of some to spread misleading
statements. The Dominion Govern
ment has not taken steps to deny
many of the false statements circu.
lated by those who evidently are more
9lnterested in injuring Canada than
%benefiting those who would be bene-
flied by taking up farms in Canada,
but in order to correct a highly er-
roneous impression that CONSUMPTION
Is carried on in Canada, that compul-
sorry military service is employed, and
that there is restraint as to the move
mont of those not Canadians, the ne
cessity is felt Of giving as much pub
licity as possible to a denial of these
statements.
An item to which special exception
is taken is one which gays:
They are sending them away as
rapidly as possible; but the young
me are o permitted to leave Can
ada. All the citizens and those who
have taken up homesteads are subject
to military duty"
In direct refutation of this, we beg
to quote from a recent editorial in the
Rochester, N. Y, Herald:
There is no legal process by which
Great Britain a command a single
Canadian soldier to enter the field in
her aid OF even in her most needful
defense. Great Britain cannot legally
take a dollar of Canada's money for
this or any other wal without Can
ada's consent. All must be given vol
UNFAIRLY, if it be given at all. Yet
men and dollars are given to the limit
OF Canada's power to give, just as If
Great Britain had both physical and
legal power to exact them. Indeed.
1t is possible that they are given
more freely in this way, for what a
man gives because he wants to give
Is likely to be greater than what he
gives under force.
"All in all it is a noble picture of
devotion to her motherland which
Canada offers to the gaze of her ad-
m1ring and unenvious neighbors."
Canada's invitation for immigration
extends to all who are willing to GO
on to the farms.

THE WHEAT LANDS OF
WESTERN CANADA
AN ATTRACTION
THE EUROPEAN WAR MAKES
THE GROWING OF WHEAT Ex-
cEPTIONALLY REMU-
NERATiVE.

One result OF the European War has
ness done by many of the manufac-
turing institutions of the United
States, commercial enterprises have
been affected. business of many kinds
have been hampered, and a financial
strtngency has been forced on almost
every community. 1t is not only be
cause it. has brought these things
about, and created a lot of hardship,
but there is the outstanding fact of
the terrible loss Of life, the great de-
atruction of property, and the disrup-
tion Of everything near and dear to
those whose countries are involved in
the war that makes the whole affair
highfy ~regrettable. The heart of the
entire world goes out in sympathy to
those within the area of the trouble.
Arrangements have been made to re-
lteve the distress by money and other
means. But there Is one great thing
wheat and Aour-that the European
countries will need. The wheat-pro-
ducing countries are no longer pro-
ducing, and there is the gravest rea-
son to fear shat they will not be for
gone years In this case, 1t would be
fully as beneficial and charitable to
make provision to meet the loss OF
Europe's grain crop by encouraging a
greatly increased growth on this con-
tinent.
The wheat-growing sections Of the
United States have about reached
their limit of production, and this
source cannot be depended upon to
meet a great deal Of the demand that
there will be for some years. The
only country that Is in a position to
meet 1t is - Canada that portion
known as Western Canada. Here
there are millions of acres of land,
capable Of producing from 20 to 40
bushels per acre. All this land Is ex-
ceflent for wheat, and very much is
still in the hands Of the Dominion
Government, and 100 acres of 1t can
be had by the payment of a ten dollar
entry fee.
Another vast are Is that held by
railway and reliable land companies,
held at from $40 to S25 per acre. I'm
proved farms are slightly higher in
price. Information regarding these
lands may be had of any Canadian
Government Agent.
The fact that Canada offers such a
splendid opportunity should be &C
