Some progress is reported in solving
the mystery of "all lightning" An
investigator enumerates three signifi-
cant characteristics of the phenome-
non: The body or ball itself, which is
able to retain it's individuality as it
moves through the air, appears to be
composed of gas or matter in some
novel luminous condition. The balls
appear to exist independently of any
large electrical intensity, for they have
been observed within closed rooms
where large electrical fields are impos-
sible, and have also been observed to
pass in and out of parallel telegraph
wires. They appear to be associated
directly or indirectly with large guam
titles of energy, for they have been OBJ
served to explode with violence and
have also been seen to fuse the over
head wire of an electric railway. DR..
G. c.. Simpson is inclined to connect
the phenomenon of ball lightning with
the fact that a mass of nitrogen "a be
put, by means of an electrical dis
charge, into a state in which it con-
tinues to glow for some time after be-
ing removed from the electrical field.

WARPLANES ROUT INFANTRY
Used by French to Lead Charge, for
First Time.

Paris, Sept. 19.-For the first time
in the history of the world the French
used an aeroplane squadron to lead
the successful attack on the village of
Bouchavesnes, north of the Somme.
Twenty fast armored aeroplanes, each
mounting three machine guns, one
pointing forward and two downward,
charged the Germans lines before the
French infantry left their trenches.
The French fliers swooped low over
the German lines and raked the Ger
mar trenches with a murderous fire
that sent the Germans flying in panic
down communicating trenches and in
some instances caused machine gun
crews to desert their posts.
This new use of aeroplanes proved
SO successful that it is expected to
play a most important part in future
operations of the war.

To Extinauish Gasoline Fire.

Experiments recently carried out by
a British fire prevention committee
show that the best way to extinguish a
small gasoline fire is to spread over
the burning surface a mixture of ten
pounds of bicarbonate of soda and
twelve pounds of common sawdust.
The sawdust need not be wet but must
be free from chips and shavings. The
theory is that the sawdust, by floating
on the burning liquid, excludes the oXy-
gen of the air, and the heat of the
flames generates carbonic acid gas,
which helps extinguish the fire. Saw
dust alone gives satisfactory results,
better than sand or similar materials.

WESTERN CANADA
900 Million Dollars in fIeW Wealth
Added in 1915.

Canada as a whole has enjoyed won
derful prosperity in 1915, from the
products Of the farm, the orchard and
the centres of industry. No country
wrote a brighter page Of history in
agricultural and Industrial develop
ment during 1915 than Canada. Nearly
a billion bushels Of grain produced.
Taxes in Western Canada average $24
and will not exceed $35 per quarter
section, which includes all taxes. No
taxes on improvements.
When Western Canada was faced
with her enormous harvest last fall
the military authorities decided that
soldiers in Canada could give the EN-
pire no better service for the time
being than to assist in harvesting the
crops. For that reason leave Of alb
sence was given to soldiers who
wished to work in the harvest fields,
and their labor was an important fac
tor in harvesting the big crops success
fully.
The necessity for increasing the ag-
ricultural production is commanding
even more attention in 1916, and 1t is
now announced that soldiers in Can.
ada may obtain leave of absence from
their military dhties in the spring for
a certain length Of time to enable
them to plant the seed for the crops
in every Province of the Dominion.
The fact that the Government rec
ognizes the seeding and harvesting Of
Canada's crops as being Of the first
Importance is perhaps the best evi.
dence that conscription or any In
crease Of taxes which would reduce
the agricultural activity of Canada
will never be considered by the author.

Owing to the number who have en-

fifty thousand can be secured.-Adver-
