THE DOMINION OF CANADA.
That's the Official Title of EngIand's
North American Daughter.


The official title of Canada is the
Dominion of Canada. 1t embraces elev-
en- provinces-viz, Alberta, British Co
lumbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, No
va Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Is
land, Quebec, Saskatchewan, North
west Territories and Yukon Territory.
The government is federal, conferred
at Ottawa, the capital of the Domin-
ion, while each Of the provinces, like
our states, has its local legislature and
capital. The head of the federal gov
eminent is a governor general, appoint
ed by the king of Great Britain and
holding office for five years. Each
province has a lieutenant governor, ap-
pointed by the federal government for
a term of ave years.
The federal or Dominion parliament
consists of senate, with eighty-seven
members, nominated by the governor
general and appointed for life by the
king, and a house of commons of 221
members, elected by the people Of the
several provinces for a term of five
years, the right of suffrage being sub
ject to a property qualification.
The provincial legislatures are elect
ed by the people of each province.
Each province has its own courts of
local jurisdiction, and there is a fed
eral supreme court consistilgof a chief
justice and five associate judges.-Phil-
adelphia Press.

BEE CULTURE.
II Doesn't Cost Very Much to Start 1t
In Small Way.

It Doesn't Cost Very Much to Start It
In Small Way.
1t is simple, and not very expensive,
to start bee keeping in a small way.
About $50 to $50 will do it. The anna
teur bee keeper needs but one colony
of bees, a good queen and couple Of
hives. OF course he should have two
or three books on bee culture, a veil,
gloves and a smoker.
The smoker is for the purpose of
slightly confusing the bees when it is
desired to open the hive. The extra
hive is necessary because, as bee keep
ing is usually started in the spring,
there must be some place for the
swarm which may soon leave the par
ent colony. 1t is by swarming that
increase comes about, and this may
be so regulated by the bee man that
his profit will be entirely through in
crease. Or, if he chooses, he can re-
tard increase and work for honey only.
With an outfit such as that mention
ed above the amateur can in most sea-
sons produce enough honey for fam
lily of five persons, and he can do this
by giving no more than a few moments
daily, or perhaps half an hour during
the course of the week, to the care of
his bees. Starting with two colonies
of bees, he ought to be able to provide
for his own family and have a surplus
of honey to sell.-Philetus Barnard in
the Countryside Magazine.

SUBMERGED SUBMARINES.
Signs by Which They May Be Located
From an Aeroplane.


In answer to a correspondent who
asks to what extent a man in an aero
plane can watch the movements of a
submerged submarine boat the Scien-
tific American replies:
1--WE have consulted a naval aero.
nautic expert on the visibility of sub
marines from an aeroplane. He states
that if the surface Of the water Is
smooth and the water is fairly clear
q submarine can ordinarily be observed
usually from an aeroplane at any
depth the submarine is likely to travel
which is usually not over 100 feet
Experiments have been made at Guam
tanamo, Cuba, and Annapolis, Md, and
in the latter case the submarines were
able to avoid observation at first by
sinking to a muddy bottom. But the
aviators soon learned to pick them out
by some sign, such, for example, as es-
cape of air bubbles"
In another article on the subject the
Scientific American says that when the
sea is rough it Is much more difficult
to discern a submarine. The captain
Of warship can watch the course Of
submarine by the bubbles 1t sends to
the surface when the sea is smooth,
but these bubbles are scarcely discern
ible when the sea is choppy. The dis
turbed surface inevitably makes 1t more
difficult for an observer in an aero
plane to see what is going on below.

IRON IN WATER.
It Takes Only the Least Little Bit to
Make Itself Felt.

It Takes Only the Least Little Bit to
Make Itself Felt.
Half a part per million of iron in
water is detachable by taste, and more
than four or five parts makes water I'M
palatable. In some mineral springs
iron is the constituent which imparts
a medicinal value to the water, but Or
dinarily it is undesirable. More than
% parts per million in water used for
laundering makes a stain on the
clothes. Iron must be removed from
water from which ice is made or a
cloudy, discolored product will result.
An iron content of over two or three
parts per million in water used in the
manufacture of paper will stain the
paper.
Iron is harmful in water used for
steaming, for it is in equilibrium with
acids which inside the boiler become
ASSOCIATED, with the result that the
free acids corrode the boiler plates, but
the amount of iron carried in solution
by most waters is so small that the
damage it does to steam boilers gen
orally amounts to little.
Waters having high iron content
have in some places, where they have
been used as city supplies, caused an
immense amount of trouble and eX-
pense, for they favor the growth of
crenOtbrix to such a degree that the
water pipes become clOgged with the
iron sheaths of that organism. The re-
moval of iron from water is sometimes
easy and sometimes very difficult

Chanak-Ka

Chanak-Kalesi, the struggling town
near the "narrows" of the Dardanelles,
means "earthenware castle" in Turk
ish and is so called from a celebrated
pottery ON the Asiatic side Of the strait.
An agent from this pottery used to be
always on the lookout for a wander
ing European and hooked on to every
passing ship. His boatload of gaudy
crOckery was generally more remarka-
BILE for gliding and tawdry color than
for taste. But the forms of the vessels
were often graceful, even classical, and
specimens of the tall water jugs he
sells, or once sold, can be seen through
out the Levant, though seldom in Lon
dOn.-London Chronicle.

Immortal Animals.

Some Of the lower animals are i'm

The condition was never more clearly
or scientifically expressed than by S.
T. COleridge iii his "BiOgraphia Lite

Wordsworth Lyrical Ballads" where
he says:
''There is a sort of minim immortal
among the animalcula infusoria which

at Il certain period a small point APP

AN INCIDENT OF WAR.
General Hugo and His Meeting With a
Wounded Moor.


Wounded Moor.
General Hugo, father of that literary
genius, Victor Hugo, was daring sol
der and officer. He served brilliantly
in both Italy and Spain and especially
distinguished himself in putting down
bandits and guerrillas. That he was a
man as magnanimous as he was brave
is attested by a little incident of his
career that his son narrated. General
Hugo, accompanied by a single trusted
hussar orderly, had occasion, at the
close of a day Of fighting, to ride across
a portion of the battlefield as dusk was
beginning to fall.
"He heard feeble sound in the shad-
ows," wrote Victor Hugo. at was a
soldier of the Spanish army, who drag
ged himself along the roadway, pale,
bleeding, gasping and who cried, "A
drink, a drink, in the name of pity"
"My father, touched, handed his can
teen to his faithful hussar, and said,
Here, give a drink to that poor, wound
ed fellow Suddenly, as the hussar,
STOPPING, leaned over him, the man, a
Moor of some sort, snatched the pistol
he carried and fired it at my fathers
head, crying, 'Caramba! The bullet
passed so close that the hat fell, and
the charger reared wildly backward.
"'Give him the drink all the same

"WAUsAU PILOT.
My Dear Gene:
[ have noticed in recent issues of
the PILOT that Wausau contemp-
lates allowing a packing house and
stockyards to be placed within the
city limits, and | am astOnished
that city as progressive and beau
tiful as Wausau should give the
slightest favorable consideration to
such a plan. Any person who has
ever lived in a city containing pack
ing houses, knows that it is abso-
lutely impossible to so conduct one
of these institutions, that it will
not be offensive to the neighborhood
for miles around. There is a pack
ing house in ST. Louis, located
about five blocks south of what
were once the principal residence
streets of the city, and the odors
are so offensive for a distance of
twenty blocks. or more, that the
residence property has been abso-
lutely ruined in value and is not
worth so per cent. of what it was
when the packing houses were
built.
There is a large packing house in
East St. Louis, Ills, six or seven
miles across the Mississippi from St.
Louis, and when the wind is from
the northeast, the Odors in St.
Louis are extremely offensive out
as far as Grand avenue, 36 blocks
from the river, and down town
where the large stores and hotels
are located, the atmosphere is so
impregnated with these odors that
it is almost unbearable at certain
times. l have gone down town in
the evening to go to the theatre
and have found the odors so bad
that | turned around and went back
home rather than to suffer the
odors for the evening. Fortunate
ly a northeast wind is very rare in
st. Louis, and we do not experience
this unpleasantness more than six
or eight times in a year. But what
do the people in East St. Louis
suffer, who live in this atmosphere
all the time?
If | were still a resident of Wau-
sau, would oppose the locating of
a packing house any place within
five miles of the city limits, and it
would have to be a mighty small
packing house before [ would even
allow it to come that close to the
city. The little good that Wausau
would derive from the few en-
ployees of the packing house, would
be offset a thousand times by loss
in comfort, and the damage to pro-
perty by the location of such an
institution within or neal. the city
limits.
I am writing you this because I
have never lost my interest in Wau-
sau and anything that tends to the
injury of that city, I feel as though
l we're still living there.
With kindest regards, I remain
as ever,
Sincerely yours,
J. E. EGGERs.

oriental land In which a performance
very like the English Punch and Judy

When the Thames Went Dry,

In Slows Annals is an account of
an earthquake which shook down many
churches and houses while the river
Thames was dryed uppe, that all Lon
don might wake over the same dry
shod." This was in the year 115S. In
1891 came an amazing ebb tide, when
the river was again so low that man
might ride over it on horseback at Lon
don bridge. In 1857 a tremendous gale
blew for thirty-six hours. The great
storm blew straight down the valley of
the Thames and kept the water back.
SO that the bed was dry. On Sept. ii,
ZIG, the same thing happened again,
and. according to the Weekly Packet
a paper Of that date, people crossed
the river afoot both below and above
the bridge, while the sands lay so clear

Chick Repairinq.

When the ordinary clock has served
its usefulness and is apparently worn
out. the jewelers. price to overhaul it
frequently amounts to almost as much
as the original purchase price, says
Popular Mechanics. One weak place
in tbe clock is the escapement wheel.
The points soon wear down, thereby
producing a greater escapement and
penduIum movement resulting in an
increased strain and wear Of the clock.
If the tips of the teeth on the wheel
are bent up slightly with pair Of
pliers, the swing of the pendulum will
be reduced, thereby increasing the life
Of the clock. Many Of the grandfath-
er's clocks can be put in order in this
manner so as to serve as a timepiece
as well as a cherished ornament.

GOVERNOR Philip sent his special

GOVERNOR Philip sent his special
message to the legislature on Wednes-
day. The governor makes a complete
survey of the tax and finance prob
lens Of the state, making specific
recommendations to the Legislature
regarding their actions in future con-
sideration of appropriation bills.
According to the message, a general
property tax in excess of all expected
receipts of SIS, 10000 must be levied
this year, unless it is diminished by
repeating appropriations already
granted.
before you ever vote upon another
appropriation BILL" concludes the
governor, you start with present
authorizations in excess of expected
receipts which, if not diminished by
repeal, will require a general property
tax of IS, TAI 900. No action whatever
is required to compel this sum in the
tax levy. To refuse that levy will
require specific action by the legis-
lature. In other words, if amounts
not already appropriated are not re-
duced by legislative action, every dol
Jar that is voted for any purpose from
now on will come out of the general
property tax and will be fixed in the
tax levy by the legislature before it
adjournS."
The governor recommends that the
legislature make all appropriations in
separate bills so that he will be given
the opportunity to consider each bill
in its relation to all other bills and to
the states program as whole.
1t is, says the governor, the only
way that he can discharge his con-
stitutional duty to approve or disap-
prove appropriations without causing
unnecessary trouble and delay for the
legislature. The governor points out
in a 1000 word constitutional argu-
ment that whenever appropriations
are made by the legislature tax levy
must be made to meet that appropri-
alton. He says t. at this practice has
not been uniformly followed in the
state and that the present method
should be utterly abandoned.
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1915-05-25
The Governors Message

In his message to the legislature
the governor points out the necessity
for tax reduction, and that if further
appropriations are made the pay must
come out of the property tax which
will be fixed by the legislature before
it adjourns. The governors message
shows that while there is an avail
able cash balance of S2,933,0O0 there
are obligations enough against it to
wipe it all out and that this balance
can not be used for reducing appro-
priatiOns for next years work.
His estimate for next years needs,
including the school tax which is
collected merely to be distributed
again among the schools Of the state,
is $685. 900, and his recommendation
is that a state tax to cover the whole
for the succeeding two fiscal years
shall be levied.
This recommendation is along good
business lines, and the legislature will
act with wisdom to handle the matter
as asked. Taxes have reached point
where there is much complaint. A
reduction is not only right but rea-
sonable and from the study made OF
the matter by the governor as shown
in his message his plans should bring
about this end.
Several proven nts including
agricultural board state fair buildings,
university buildings, normal build
ings, forestry investment fund, have
been temporarily considered and are
subject to repeal The request of the
governor that the appropriations be
made in separate bills will enable
him to scrutinize each bill and con-
slider it's relative Importance with
other bills.
He has also asked the legislature to
cooperate with him in an immediate
review to see if some of the apprOpri-
ations carrying large amounts cannot
be postponed. 1t is the general
opinion that the finances of the state
can be placed on business basis and
that all necessary and desired i'm
provements can be met without max
ing the taxes burdensome. He points
out very pertinently that the states
finances have not been handled along
the most approved methods and that
it is time to employ care and watch
fulness in Observation-Disclosures
kee News.
