DISCOVERING AMERICA

Americans have gone advent uring in their own land this summer and America will be discovered again: in spirit as well as in fact. The fateful old date, 1492, will after this year be held but as a shadow of new knowledge when compared with the great and marvellous -ealit. ies of 1915.
 Columbus had but to cross an unknown sea. He needed a pluck and persistence which dar- ed only bodily harm and hurt, and he took his reward simply in the ample form and substance of new dominion for the sover- eign whom he served. He dis covered only the scene and setting for a new act in man $ age-old drama. He found but new earth, new water, new air, new skies. He gave us but new forests to fell. new rivers to tame, new mountains to cross, new fields to blow and plant. His was but the A B C's of discovery-his gift to the world only a tremendous bit of new

this movement being such poetic and
charming bit of Orchestration that It
might almost be termed pastel IN

AT the conclusion of the symphony
and after brief intermission. Albert
/ Cornfcld violinist. played his num-

a big work and demands an infinite
amount OF skill and technic TO pre-

played last night by Albert Cornfeld,
who, by the way. is a rising young
star on the horizon OF the musical
world, Il was given an extremely ar

The Centipede.

The centipede was formerly a res
ident of the southern part of this
country, but 1t has gradually worked
its way to the North, so that now they
are quite common in nearly every por'
ton Of the country. 1t thrives best in
damp and warm places and has It's
redeeming feature in that 1t catches
and destroys many of the domestic
pests we are well rid of. Its method
of catching an insect seems to be to
spring over 1t, inclosing and caging 1t
with its many legs. The belief occa-
sionally met with that the centipede
feeds on household goods and woolens
or other clothing is without founda'
ton. On the other hand. the bite OF
this creature is undoubtedly more or
less poisonous, the effect depending
on the susceptibility OF the patient.
