SOME ODD FACTS ABOUT COAL
Material Is Not Always Black in Color
-Colliery Merely Derivation
From CoaIery.

A colliery used to be called coal
cry. Coal-meter is an old name given
to one who superintended the meas
uring of Goals. Coalstone Is a species
of hard, opaque, inflammable coal,
which does not soil or dirty the fin
gers when touched. 1t is jet-black,
and can be cut. Brown coal has been
found at Bovey, Devonshire and on the
continent. Coal-hod Is an old-fast-
iOned name for scuttle. Gas light can
be traced back over 200 years. A Mr..
Il. Shirley, in 1869, attributed a burn
ing well at Wigan to the presence of
coal underneath it. Just about this
time Mr.. Clayton procured gas by
distilling coal. Practical lighting,
however, came very slowly. In 1929
a Mr.. Murdoch Illuminated his house
with gaslight, and very poor show 1t
is said to have been. He lived at Re-
druth, Cornwall. in 1902, Birmingham,
in celebrating the peace of Amieus,
frightened up large factory with
gaslight. Thousands journeyed to see
the wonderful sight-which led to
gas-works being established at that
place, and in Manchester and Halifax.

HONOR FOR CANADA
Wins Championships at Interna-
tionaI Live Stock Show.
Splendid Exhibits, Both Of Animals
and Grain, Won Admiration of
Judges and Spectators.

One of the most interesting sights
at the International Live Stock show
at Chicago was the evening parades
Of horses and cattle. AS the Cana
dian section of these parades came in
to view, and as 1t passed around the
ring, there was continued applause.
There were two or three reasons for
this, the principal one being that In
this section there were the wonderful
Clydesdales, the Belgians and the Per
cherons that had carried off champion
ships and first prizes. The province
of Saskatchewan had a splendid dis
play of Clydesdales and showed In a
number of classes, and In every class
they got in the money. A remarkable
and noted winning was that Of the
University of Saskatchewan, showing
Lady Bruce" female Clydesdale, in
class of "a and taking second. In
competition there were entries from
such famous studs as Conyngham Bros.
of Wilkesbarre, P. L. James of Easton,
Mass, and George Chiett of the same
state. She was beaten by an imported
mare, but was later made champion
American-bred mare and reserve
grand champion, an honor never before
conferred upon anything but an i'm
ported animal.
The following are some of the good
things that Canada won at the Inter-
national, in a fair fight and no favOrs.
Grand championship for Clydesdale
stations; championship for American
bred Clydesdale mares reserve senior
and reserve grand championships for
Clydesdale mares; grand champion
ship for SOuthdown sheep; sweepstakes
grand championship for wheat for the
continent of America; championship
for Durum wheat for America.
Another of the reasons for the ap-
plause given the Canadian sections of
the parade was the heartinesS with
which the American spirit was imbued
that impelled it to greet with the full
est appreciation the efforts of the win
ner and the hundreds Of Canadians in
the immense audience Of the amphi-
theater appreciated 1t.
The purpose that Canada had in
making exhibits from their farms,
whether it was of live stOck-and they
had it there in all branches-grains,
grasses or roots, was to demonstrate
that the war had not created devasta-
tion, that the country was alive with
interest in the matter of production
and that it had ability to produce in a
manner that would bring 1t champion
ships and what better place than the
International, where 1t would be placed
before thousands, many of whom, with
the enlightenment thus gained and
with a desire to better their condition,
would be made to realize that in the
neighboring country to the north there
was an opportunity that it might be
of advantage to them to embrace

A New Version.

Seven-year-old Joseph had been go
ing to Sunday school for almost three
months and during that time had heard
several Bible stories. His mother was
bOasting of his ability to relate them,
while his grandfather waited rather
!mpatiently. He was ready to start
on trip downtown and Joseph was
gong with him.
Then all at once Joseph, too, grew
impatient. He was in grandfather's
car and could not discover the reason
for grandfather's lingering. So out he
shouted, "Hurry up, grandpa, or Well
be too late to go. You're as slow as
Moses was when he built the ark"
