Skatina.s

SkdtlnA.@
The art OF skating was invested by
the Dutch, and was popular in Hol.
land for centuries before It spread to
England and France. The first blade.
skates used in England were intro
duced from Holland about 1860, but
the first mention OF them occurred in
a diary bearing this date, January
goth, in 1861. "A little later the Inn
mortal Pepys remarked on the prac.
tice Of skating in st. James Park.
Prior to the use Of skates by the
Dutch, a sort Of skate made OF the
bones Of animals were used by the
northern peoples. dating back to pre-,
historic times. In the twelfth CEN
fury a Danish historian mentioned the
use OF these boile skates, and at about
the same time the young men Of Lon
don fastened the leg.bones Of animals
undertheir feet by means of thongs.
pushing themselves over the ice with
poles. Several Of these primitive
bone skates have be%ndiscoyered in
marshy fields near London, and are
preserved in the British museum.
Skating az we know It now, however,
originated in Holland at an unknown
period, and was taken up by the Eng.
lish In the seventeenth century.

Speculation In Food.

Statistical tables have been pub
lished to show that the advance Ii
the price of wheat and flour was due
to the law Of supply and demand and
not to speculation and corners. They
have also been published to show the
exact opposite. It may be that fig
ures will not lie, but It is equally
indisputable that liars will figure.
OF course there is not doubt tina,
the situation fayors high prices
There is now a very decided extra
demand in Europe with the Russian
supply shut off, and the Indian and
Egyptian supplies somewhat ham,
pereds in reaching England and
France. This has a natural tendency
to increase prices. It has had that
effect to the extent Of about 5 per
cent. already. Is It It natural and
strong enough to make the increase
100 or $50 per cent?
In our mind the indication tina,

its advance is so marked as to pro,

embargo or an investigation into the

weeks has the market gone up in a
way TO evoke declarations that Il Is

punishment and embargo. Every
time that such a threat has been
made there has been a notable rush
