Formation and Color.

p The iridescence of nacre. or mother
of-pearl, is a matter of form and not
actual color. In fact. all "changeable"
colors are more or less the result of
form even where there is Fermentation
beneath. such as 10 certain ribbed silks.
When sunlight bears directly upon
finely ribbed metal, as file, there is

WORLD SHORTAGE OF STOCK
Speedy Ending OF War Would Not
Change Present Basis Of Prices
Tax Is Protection.

There is every reason TO believe that
the present level of prices for live
stock will continue for some time. Be
cause there is a world shortage of
stock, speedy ending of the present
war should not change the basis of
prices until normal supply of stock
is raised. The 10 per cent import
duty on stock, meats, hides and wool
viii serve as protection against ship
ments from other countries where la
Dor is cheaper.

Arthur v White, consulting engineer the Canadian Con-
servaton Commission
Mr.. White says: ':In the City of Toronto there ara
about $4,000 homes which during the winter con-
sumo on an average about ten tons per home, making
total consumption of 500 900 tons of anthracite.
Now, supply from electrical energy the equivalent
of the 100000 of anthracite, the time maximum
rate of consumption and basis of so per recovery
there would have 10 be available estimate

For the purpose of further illustration, may be assumed
tina, low maximum demand of electrical energy heat an
eight nineroomed house in Ontario such would or
dinariy nine of anthracite coal the win
would be from fifteen twenty horse power il
would probably be thirty horse power and under
certain conditions, would be still greater quantity Con-
derng then, the $4,000 homes on the basis of approx
imaiely twenty horse power, derive, again, about
100000 h. the estimated electrical requirement for
simply heating the homes OF Toronto. This takes
count OF Lighting other heating power demands 1t
should be noted that the figures here presented cons

Mr.. Whites estimate of the o power needed to
