HONOR FOR CANADA

tional 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 parudes
of horses and cattle. As the Cana
III section of these parades came in
TO view. and as II 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
C~lydesdales, the Belgians and the Per
cherons that had carried of champion
ships n first prizes. The province
of saskatchewan had a splendid dis
play of Clydesdales and showed in a
lumber OF classes. and In every class
they got In the money. A remarkable
and noted winning was that of the
University of Saskatchewan, showing

you but little good, for soon all the
itching and Irritation breaks out

and speed. Many such attempts are
foredoomed to failure, because the
body is designed with no reference to
drawings, patterns or the tool equip
ment involved.
Preliminary to anything else. a scale
drawing of the chassis and the new
body should be made, and after the
builder has established, to his own
satisfaction, that the new body will
fit the chassis, then only should the
actual work be undertaken. However,
n complete set of full-slzed paper pat
terms should be made; with these the
builder can determine whether the
parts will fit together correctly, and
at the same time rectify any errors
of calculation. or Judgment, that may
have been made in the preliminary
scale drawing.
The illustration shows n body that
possesses straight lines throughout, as
II is easier to work the sheet metal
with sharp. angular lines than any
other way, but the variety of design
skill, cash and facilities at the com
mand Of the builder.
Use Sheet Iron.
The material most commonly used
Is No. is or 20 gauge sheet iron, al
though the lighter and more expensive
aluminium can be used as well as a
llghter-gauge iron, but the latter Is
%inadvisnble. For work of the kind
shown In the drawing. the most essen
tial tools will consist OF n wooden NAL
let. tin shears and rlveting and sol
dering equipment. Most amateur
builders fall into the error Of trying
TO apply the component parts of the
body to a wooden frame with nails,
which invariably results In a botched
and unsatisfactory Job.
Disk Wheels Not Liked.
Disk wheels are merely sheet-metnI
disks bolted to both sides Of the
wheels, with an opening for access to
the tire valve. Such wheels, on the
average light car. are not to be par
ticularly commended, however. as they
are not entirely satisfactory, and Mt
the same time detract from that "low,
rnkish" appearance usually sought.
II should he remembered that the
aim Is to build a neat, Individual auto
mobile body and not n boiler, and that,
therefore, the use OF rlvets and nails
for closing seams should be Stunned,
since both give positive evidence Of
an amateurs NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

His whole life since he began active
work was devoted to the promotion Of
knowledge of fish and fishes, in rela-
tion TO the service of mankind. There
was no higher authority. He was
awarded endless medals and honors
by expositions and societies for his
monographs and annual and other re-
ports.
He was one of the first to define the
International regulation of fisheries OF

Phoenix Built on Ruins.

BY far the most interesting remains
of the lost people of Arizona are their
network OF canals which prevail
through all the valleys. The longest
is the one tapping the ella river. and
which supplied with water the ancient
city. now marked with the one stand
ing building. This is the Casa Grande,
about which so much has been written.
and which has excited much interest
among achaeologistS in the last ten
years.
The volume of water taken out by
this canal must have been immense,
for it supported millions Of acres. In
most places the canal has been filled
with drifting sand. but its course Is
easily traced. Engineers who located
the Mericopa canal made use of the
old Aztec ditch. and today water runs
over its pebbly bottom just as 1t did
two thousand or three thousand years
ago.
For miles and miles around mounds
tell the tale of houses destroyed by
the ravages of time. Phoenix was
built on the ruins of this ancient city.
and the relics frequently are found Of
this ancient civilization. - Detroit

SOME LOGIC; LITTLE REASON
Examination Papers Turned in by
Youngsters Proved They Gave
Thought to Questions.

"Tell me all you know about CEN
taurs."
The response of one boy TO this
demand in a recent examination was
as follows:
ceniaur was ancient cavalry and
archery all in one piece. He could not
be Knocked out OF his saddle because
he didn't have any. being the same
person as his horse. If hesneeded a
stable he did not need a tent, / do
not know which. and IL he needed for
age he did not need rations, or If he
needed rations he did not need for
age"
Evidently the youngster who gave
that reply was OF q military inclination.
and had thought out for himself the
advantages of centaurs on the fighting
line. II was funny, but not unin-
telligent. Less original, with only one
little slip indeed to mar its accuracy,
Is the version Of the schoolbOy Of the
story of the Gorgons.
'The Gorgons," he began confident

where in the Indian ocean. They had

and claws for nails. and they looked
like women, only more horrible"

Sea Appropriately Named.

The name by which the Hebrews
knew the Red seattle Yam Suph, or
sea of weeds of sedge-would appear
to give little indication Of the reason
for the title which has been applied
TO this body of water in later years.
But. as a matter of fact, two terms
have a common origin. Unlike the
beautiful Blue Danube" which is
really a dirty yellowish brown. the
Red sea is really red-the color being
due to the prevalence of a minute
bright red plant. n kind of seaweed.
This plant is said TO be so small that
oJ,OO0.OO0 can live and thrive within
a single cubic inch of water. There
