susnended Animation.

1t has been determined that the
fluids of insect bodies, for instance,
freeze at Al degrees Fahrenheit, any
vital function becoming impossible at
this temperature. At temperatures be-
tween this point and the temperature
at which death will occur, a strange
condition of suspended animation ex-
lists, the organism being, as it were,
between life and death. In such a
state the vital functions stop work, and
as there is no activity in the body, nc
food is required. Animals placed in
this state are readily restored by the
gradual rise in temperature. This con
dition can be compared with that of O
clock with stopped pendulum. the
mechanism of which could be at an;
moment started again by a slight I'M
pulse given to the pendulum.

ample of the Ingratitude Of
the World.

The man who invented and installed
the first steam foghorn died blind and
in poverty despite his varied attain
ments and achievements in widely
differing fields. He was John FOULS,
a Scotchman, who came to st. John,
N. B., in the early years of the last
century.
An interesting description of this
versatile Scot is given in a paper read
before the st. John Historical society
by William Murdoch. c. Z. Murdoch
says of FOULS:
lie vas a nephew Of the brothers
Robert and Andrew FOULS of Glas-
gov, printers and publishers, whose
productions were the admiration of
all their contemporaries. and whose
edition of Horace, published in 1744,
was hung up sheet by sheet, in Glas-
gov, and a reward offered for the dis
covery of a single error.
This scion of an intelligent breed
was a graduate of Glasgow univer-
sity. After various experiences when
a young man, even to serving as sui
geon on a whaling ship, he finally set
tied in st. John and became q land
surveyor, artist, analytical chemist
and a civil and mechanical engineer
His survey of the River st. John is
still in vogue In the Crown land of
fee of this province. His chemical
knowledge ranged from Analysing
ores to making his own whisky when
overtaken by adversely.
while operating as a mechanical
engineer and owning a foundry he en-
gined the first steam ferrybOat tC

steam craft to ply the st. John river

Governors
Dilemma
BY HAROLD CARTER


copyright, 1916. by w. @. Chspman)
The governor was not playing the
game as 1t should be played. That
much was common talk at the capitol.
1T was all very well for him to take
up an attitude of opposition to Boss
Lloyd, but why had he run for gov
ernor under Lloyd's auspices? He
must have known Lloyd was not Civ
ing away something for nothing.
There were some who justified the
governor in claiming that a man con-
not get into political life at all UNI
less he is willing to accept some
shady backing. But Governor Peters
had swung round the minute he took
the oath of office. announced that he
meant to he the peoples Governor"
and fought Lloyd tooth and nail, and
fought him to Il standstill.
Peters had been Boss Lloyd's law
yer in the old days. He knew the
secret tragedy of his life. Peters
wife had left him a few years after
their marriage, taking with her their
only child, a boy. Lloyd, with all his
influence. had never heard of her
aguin, had set eyes on her since
that day. Peters had still been try
Ing to discover her when Lloyd NOM
mated him for office.
Peters had been a very quiet man.
Few knew him it was not till the pa
pers were full of the life story of the
new governor that if was known he
was Il married men, with a son at
the State university. Lloyd, in par
~ticular, had not known. When he
knew he set to work to get Peters
in leading strings. And he had him.

toward the executive offices. He did
not vince when Governor Peters kept
him waiting half an hour while he
chatted with an old negro nurse
though other men would not have kept
him waiting at oil, and would have
broken off any other interview imme-
uiateIy.
At last Lloyd was admitted into the
governors office. He sat down, tri'
umph upon his face. Peters looked
ut him -Dliringly. "Well, sir?" he
asked.

a doughnut mentally. Each of them says today that they had never at that
early date eaten one in reality in that hotel because they feared the price
would be something like 40 cents apiece, and they didn't care to squander
that much on q singletube doughnut without antskid appliances. But they
would glance w at the table where sat the gourmandzing bank directors
and railway magnates, and it seemed to be bending in the middle with dough
nuts. They wondered when they, too, could sit down and order all the
necessities of life and add a plate of deughnuts just for good measure
In fact doughnuts in a hotel grew to be the mark of extreme luxury for
these two young men. Then one day they found they were commissioners of
the District of Columbia, and the center Of a group of administrative officials
who wanted to get together every day at luncheon to talk things Over.
So they went to the big hotel and arranged for a round table daily.
The first day they all sat down the head waiter placed on the table about
one bushel of those George Il. Harries doughnuts.
"We didn't order these" said Louis-I mean Commissioner Brownlow-
weakly.
81 know" returned the waiter with a smile. "They are like bread and
butter. We make no charge for them" t.
And then Louis looked at Ollie and Ollie looked at Louis, and together
they tried to figure out how many doughnuts the hotel owed them for past
luncheons
And that is why that big round table at a certain hotel near the District
building is reserved for what they call "te doughnut cabinet"

A certain worthy bishop was very
fond of a quiet smoke, and he did not
think that the habit was out of keeping
with his high office. The archdeacon
of the diocese, however, thought diff
f%erently, and did not hesitate to pro-
claim his opinion. On one occasion
the a%rchdeacon was the guest of the
bishop, and preached at the cathedral
evening service. Having returned to
the episcopal palace, he was gazing
from the library window when he de.

thought, in safe privacy. "Ah, bishop
