in marsh and are so much at home
in the water that they seem .to stand
upright in that element without any
perceptible effort" They catch ducks
by diving under them and catching
the birds legs.
Their diet consists chiefly Of fish,
water fowls, sago and the roots of wa

cradles, underneath their houses
(Which are In the water built on ten

Canada Admits LIindoo Woman.

The first Hindoo woman and the
hrst Hindoo boy who ever entered
Vancouver or British Columbia, Can
ada, to make the province their home,
arrived recently on the Empress of
Japan. There are thousands of Hin
docs living in the province, engaged
IN working in the woods or in operat-
ing sawmills. Some of them have
made much money. For a long time
the government refused admission TO
Hindoo women, but recently this ban
was lifted. The new arrival was the
first woman to take advantage of it.
Her husband went to India from Van
couver three years ago, to pay a visit
to his home. He had made money
and intended to remain in India, but
when the ban on women was lifted he
decided to return where opportunities
were greater. He brought his wife
and twelve-year-old son: The father
intends to send the boy to the public
schools of Vancouver.

ALUMINIUM TO REPLACE WOOD

VIII Relieve Drain Upon the coun-
try's Vanishing Forests.

One of the greatest consumers of
wood is the shipping box. For this
purpose no fewer than 100000 cords
were used last year. Viewed from
any standpoint it is a gigantic draft
upon our forest resources.
Unquestionably before long metal

the making of shipping cases.. Which
means, Of course, aluminium. or an al
10y thereof. Aluminium, relatively
speaking, is cheap metal now, but it
Is destined to be vastly cheaper.
When one considers that aluminium
constitutes more than per cent of the
entire crust of the earth, it seems alb
surd that there should be lack of it for
any and all purposes useful to man
kind.
The next generation may live in
apartment houses built wholly of alu-
minum and travel in aluminium trains
and steamships. But the matter of
most immediate Importance is the re-
lief which cheap aluminium may give
to the drain upon our vanishing for

How ssarchIisht is Tested.

The searchlights made use of In
warfare and for few other purposes
are put to severe test before they
are regarded as completed, Elaborate
instruments are used to measure the
intensity Of the beam, but its diameter
is measured by an immense "yard
stick" located 2,3oO yards away from
the light. A long harrow stretch Of
lumber supported on trestles has di-
visions at regular intervals just like
those of the measuring stick, and
when the beam Is directed at this
structure, 1t is easy to measure the
diameter. In small house at one

How Secrets May Be Preserved.

Synthetic inks, by means of which
writings remain invisible until the pa
per on which they are used is subject
ed to certain external Influences have
long been known, but a disappearing
paper, the decay Of which at the end
of fixed time destroys writing and
all. is somewhat of a novelty.
Such a paper, it appears from a
French report, was invented some time
ago. 1t is prepared by sleeping in
acid, the strength of which is varied
according to the lease of life intended
to be bestowed upon the paper. After
a longer or shorter time the paper dis
integrates and falls TO pieces. 1t is
suggested that this kind of paper
would be boon to those who do not
wish to have their letters Indefinitely
preserved.
