British CoIumbia's Coal.

Writing Of the discovery Of coal in
British Columbia, Johnson In his 'First
Things In Canada" states: some day
In December. 1849. an officer of the
Hudson's Bay company In Fort Vic
torla was informed by the foreman Of
the blacksmlth's shop that On old Ma
naimo Indian chief had just stated that
he knew where there was STUFF like
that which the white man was using In
the blacksmlths fire. The Indian was
told that If he would bring some pieces
of the 'stuff' he would have his gun
repaired free and receive bottle OF
rum. The chief reappeared in the fol-
lowing April (1S50 with his canoe
laden with coal. A prospecting party
went out and found the coal where the
city of Nanaimo now stands. In 1874
the production of coal from the Ma
naimo mines amounted to 1000 tons;
in 1896 1t exceeded 100000 tons.

Census Of a Vacant Lot.

forms Of apimal life-inhabited an
acre Of city land, says Popular Science

were between 100000 and 100000 of
grasshoppers, locusts, crickets. cock

lice, aphids and other ''bugs" In one
acre Of land.
There win be, Of course. a large va
Ration in the count according to the
season In which It is made. For ex-
ample, there is one-third increase In
the population in the spring over that

INSECT PRODUCTS or VALUE
Many Small Creatures Make contribu.
tons to the country's Wealth of
No Insignificant Amount.


We have many insect products Of no
small value. Most familiar are honey
and wax from the bee.
There Is also Chinese bug which
secretes kind Of grease on various
trees. This hardens into wax, and Is
collected, melted and purified, when 1t
becomes white and glossy in appear
ance, and when mixed with oil can be
made into candles. The coch1neal, a
scale insect living on cacti in the Amer
lean tropics, besides having medicinal
qualities, yields the two dyes called
carmine and lake. While nowadays
most dyes are chemically made, the
natural dye of the cochineal is en-
ployed in coloring soldiers uniforms,
as 1t stands the weather better than
commercial dyes. The pupae of Mex
lean black fly which swarms in great
quantities near Lake Texcoa are used
as fertilizer. No enlargement is need
ed on the work of the precious silk
worm-a native Of China which is now
raised here also. Commercial shellac
is obtained by melting lac, the resinous
substance produced by an East Indian
scale insect and deposited in a crust
on twigs to contain the insect and its
eggs. The export value of lac from
Indian ports in one year has risen as
high as 100000 rupees. Lac has also
been used to make dyes, but while the
lac industry Is growing one, the EN-
ployment Of lac in making dyes has
probably had Its day. The bent lac is
obtained from Bengal and the central
province Of India. It is also used as
stiffening for hats, sealing wax, as an
ingredient Of lithographic ink. In elec-
trical work and in the manufacture of
gramophone records.

1t is noteworthy that, with the lull
in the fighting since the German
defeat at Ypres. all German talk Of
the "kaiser's battle" has vanished.
The German experts and newspa-
pers have been instructed to warn
the people that no new Sedan is
possible. that Ypres is very strong,
that the British have fought most
stubbornly, and. that, after all,
Ypres is not Of importance for the
Germans. They declare that the
German command. may decide not
to take Ypres.
Sir William Robertson's warning
that the war is likely to last for a
long time yet is commented upon
in London as timely. 1t is pointed
out that one reason why American
Intervention did not sooner become
active in some fields is because
America made arrangements for in

showed a net operating income of

the same period under private di-
rection in 1917.

show operating revenues were
S726.011 ,329, against S6SS, S,I73, ,S57 in
1917; operating expenses, $633784,-
COS against 5I2,775,369 and net
revenue from railway operations,
S8S,226,721 against S175,39S, ,4SS.
The operating income for March
was $50, 1928, 1902 as against $57 ,592,-

The earnings report indicates
roughly that the government lost
more than 100000, 900 in operation
of the railroads during January,
February and March. although rail-
road administration officials looked
for such a record. They believe the
loss will be made up in later
months.
March earnings, although far be-
low normal, are almost twice as
much as in February, and are much
better than in January, when a de-
ficit in railway operating income
was reported.

With the American Army ir
France, May (By the Associated
Press. Lieutenant James A
Meissner, whose home is in Brook
lyn, and who brought down his
first German airplane today on the
American front northwest of TouI,
returned to his hangar to receive
the congratulations of his com
rades and to make his report with
bashful grin on his face. The
lieutenant is young and slight and
"tickled to death" that he has one
enemy scalp hanging to his belt.
The story of his exploit having
trickled in over the telephone wire.
the correspondent went to the lieu
tenants hangar. 1t had been re-
ported that a wing Of Meissner's S
machine had been torn off by his
opponents airplane-
Impossible" said one of the
members of Meissner's squadron
before the young aviator had re-
turned to his billet IF the boche
really had scraped Jimmy with his
wing, we would have called on the
Red Cross to make inquiries
through Switzerland as to what
had happened TO him
Just at that time Lieutenant
Meissner jumped out of an auto
mobile and walked towards the
group gathered about the hangar.
Well, well There's Jimmy
now" cried his companions as they
all ran out TO meet him. All tried
to grasp his hand at the came time
and shake it, while many questions
were hurled at the young aviator.
The lieutenant blushed and looked
around as if at a loss how TO be-
gin. Then he briefly told an Amer
lean story in an American way
just as if bringing down a German
was an every day trick.
Well he said, Il saw him at
about 5000 metres. There was an
other machine which l believe was
tion of the German. / Just sailed in
, first, but the boche swung down
toward the earth when l was just
above him. l went down after him,
firing all the time.
Then he Strengthened out and
turned his wing point quickly.
rammed my wing, but as that was
happening, l cut loose with my
gun again. Smoke came from tho
German machine which headed for
the interior OF Germany and We
both were soon over his territory.
Il thought that might be some
sort of camoufiage for a getaway,
for they tell me these Germans
are full OF tricks. so l kept right
on his tail Then he began 10
drop. real red flames streaming Z
from him. l knew that l had him
and that I had f1red 200 shots, but
I also knew my machine was dam
aged. So / turned around and
headed for home. but | thought !

our lines than TO rtsk a fight all

Then the lieutenant went over
and told his mechanic about II
