lures OF Past.

1.-THE future Of art will be in mu-
seums, as the future Of the dead is
in cemeteries" John L. Balderston
quotes George Moore in The Atlantic.
"As I have said after the art of the
temple, the cathedral, and she palace,
came the art of the house, which was
the last phase; for now the art Of the
house Is dead, since people no longer
live in houses. They are all moving
into bungalows, or, which is the same
thing, into apartments-and in a bum
galow there is no room for srt. We
have futile attempts at art for the
bungalow, as we shall have pretended
art for the Pullman car, for the motor,
for the aeroplane. The great pictures
Of the past, having hung in houses for
centuries, are passing into museums,
not only because people are moving
out of houses, but because new social
ideas are destroying the great estates
and making it impossible to keep valu-
able art works from one generation to
another. In England now three death
duties will break up the greatest estate
In the kingdom. You say you still have

All, but think of what they buyI It

front of the bungalow, discovered
Whitaker sitting up in state; a COM
Portable wicker chair supported his
body and a canvas-seated camp stool

creetly yelled in dripping bath towel.
Otherwise he was fastidiously arrayed
in white flannels and, by his seraphic
smile and guileless expression, seemed
abnorlnally at peace with his circum-
stances.
Hating, Ember surveyed the spec
tacle with hooking disfavor.
"Hel-lo" he observed, beginning to
draw off his gantlets as he assembled
the veranda steps and dropped into
another wicker chair. What the

A DIFFERENCE. IN
THE INVESTMENT
The Western Canada Farm Prof.
its Are Away in Excess.

Mr.. George II. Barr, Of Iowa, holds
seven sections of land in Saskatche-
wan. These he has fenced and rent
ed, either for pasture or cultivation,
all paying good interest on the invest
ment.
Mr. Barr says that farm land at
home in Iowa is held at $3.50 per acre.
These lands are in high state of cul-
tivation, with splendid improvements
in houses, barns, stables and silos, and
yet, the revenue returns from them are
only from two. to three per cent per
annum on investment.
Last year, 1915, his half share OF
crop on a quarter section in Saskatche-
wan, wheat on new breaking, gave him
35 per cent on the capital invested
$500 an acre. The crop yield was
80 bushels per acre. This year the
same quarter-sectiOn, sown to Red
Fife on stubble gave 1896 bushels. His
share, 1,643 bushels of 1 Northern at
$1.5G per bushel, gave him $2,563OS.
Seed, half the Irvine and half the
threshing bill cost him $453.OO. Allow
ing share Of the expense of his an
nual inspection trip, charged to this
uuarter-section even to $4,000. and he
has left 100000, that is so per cent
of the original cost of the land. Any
one can figure up that another aver
age crop will pay, not 2 or per cent
on investment, as in Iowa, but the
total price of the land. Mr.. Barr says:
"That's no joke now"
Mr.. Barr was instrumental in bring
ing number of farmers from Iowa to
Saskatchewan in 1913. He referred to
one of them, Geo. III. Kerton, tenant
farmer in Iowa. He bought quarter
section of improved land at $1,000 an
acre near Hanley. From proceeds Of
crop in 1914, 1915 1916, he has paid
for the land. Mr.. Barr asked him a
week ago: swell, George, what shall
I tell friends down home for your
The reply was: "Tell them I shall
never go back to be tenant for any
man." Another man, Charles Haight,
realized $4,000 in cash for his wheat
crops in 1915 and 1916.
Mr.. Barr when at home devotes
most of his time to raising and deal
ng in live stock. On his first visit Of
Inspection to Saskatchewan, he real
zed the opportunity there was here
,or grazing cattle. SO his quarter
sections, not occupied, were fenced
md rented as pasture lands to farm
RS adjoining. His creed is: "Let ma
ure supply the feed all summer while
cattle are growing, and then in the
all, take them to farmsteads to be
inished for market There is money
q it."-Advertisement.

"Oh, 1 say" Whitaker expostulated,
touched by this evidence of disinterest-
ed thoughtfulness. "You persuade
yourself too much, old man. You set
up an inference and idolize 1t as an
immortal truth. Why, you had me

there was a fellow skulking round

When finally they came to the en-,

"But, since it is low tide, you'll hav,

"Oh, it's that way, is it? Thank you,
but I fancy l can manage"
And with the aid of the clothes-prop
he did manage to make the descent
without her hand and without disaster.

Good Work of American Chemists.

Prior to August. 1914, ichthyoI, an
asphaltic material employed as an an
tiseptic medicament, was imported
from Europe. 1t is derived from q
bituminous rock, filed with fossil fish,
that is found in the Austrian TyroL
In view Of the inadequacy Of the for
eign supply to meet the domestic de-
mand under present conditions. Amer
lea has come to depend on its own re-
sources. So far as known, there are
in this country no deposits Of asphaltic
material Of the peculiar type from
which ichthyol is derived. but Amer
lean chemists have solved the problem
of supplying the domestic needs In this
regard, and favorably recommended
for ichthyol, prepared from
domestic materials by synthetic meth
