Appalling Irreverence That Shocked

lie lias been on the job for a long tlmo,
anil nobody of his raco In the world
could uonr his uniform of blue and
gold with more distinction or hauteur.
He would take n fat part, to speak In
stage parlance, against any kind of
emperor, and a whole Hock of princes
would be pie for him In any competi
tion for the limelight. He Is over six
feet tall, ami dignity Is his mlddlo
name. Life, at least while he Is on
duty, Is it terrible serious ofl'alr for
til tu. and the smile he gives those lie
knows Is not one that means anything
more than welcome.
The wives of two senators culled nt
the White House not long since. As
they left, lifter lealug their cards, as
Is the custom at t lines, one of them
turned and thought she saw the Presi
dent himself behind the curtain of n
near-by window. She bad known
President Harding when he was In tho
senate and didn't believe very much In
dignity and the putting on of dog and
Mich things.
"Why." she said, "there's Warry
now." The butler overheard. Ho
gasped. The senator's wife turned to
him.
"Isn't that Warry there?" she asked.
The butler almost dropped to tho
flagstones of the portico.
"Yes, mem ; no mem," he said
rapidly. "I think It was not tho Presi
dent." "Well, I think It wim." Insisted the
senator's wife, "and when you ppo
Warry you Just tell him we caught
1 1 1 in that time."
Do you suppose that butler delivered
the message?
rtead Secrets of Parchment.
Much ot the lore of ancient palimp
sests. parchment manuscripts from
which the original writing has been
erased and written over at a later
date Is about to be laid bare by the
mysterious power of the ultra-violet
light pi educed by the niercury-vspor
lamps. Previous to 15)14 the discov
erer of a new method of using tho
rays, a Itcucttlctlnc monk of the Bava
rian order, had made such progress
that many of the ancient parchments
In the Itenedlctlno abbey of Wosso
brunn hail been made to disclose their
secrets.
In principle the new method Is qulto
simple, being based upon the peculiar
ity, possessed by many organic sub
stances, of fluorescing glowing with
a pale canary-colored light when
brought under the Influence of tin? in
visible ultra-violet rays. The old
parchments possess this property to a
remaikahle degree, while the Ink of
the older writings upon them, contain
ing Ingredients Insensible to tho ac
tion of the rays, remains dark and
forms a contrast of sulllclent Intensity
to register cJearly on u photographic
plate. Old paintings, overlaid with
new ones on the original canvas, luivo
alsi been discovered by this method.

aircraft construction, tills mnterlal,
we are told, must not be confounded
with ordlnnry plywood, for It Is some

which Is uctunlly sown together. Tho
layers are flrst cemented together with
waterproof materlul and then stitched
through In parallel tows about 14
Inches apart. This gives n rigidity and
resilience unattainable by any othfr
method. Weight for weight, It Is tho

Opportunities and Conditions Thert
Appeal to the Most Desirable Pos
sibilities of Country Proved.
While Canada wants settlers, and is
pursuing ever legitimate means tu
secure them, It Is realized, us pointed
out by Hon, J A. Calder, minister of
Immigration mid colonization, that se
lection Is necessary, and In order to
keep undesirables out of the country
legislation Is passed that will doubt
less have this effect. As pointed out
by the minister, the class of settler
which Canada stands most ready to
welcome are those -who desire:
Opportunity to acquire good farm
land, either free or at a cost within
their means.
Oppoi (unity to live In n country un
der healthful conditions and liberal
laws ami among tin Intelligent and
friendly people.
Opportunity to live In a country
whoie children receive free public edu
cation and where all children are en
abled to start In the battle of life with,
in. nearly as possible, equal advan
tages. Opportunity to live In a country
where Industry applied to the land
will produce something in Me than tho
bare necessities of life, and will afford
within reasonable time comfort nnd
Independence.
Opportunity to live In a country
where ambition Is not handicapped by
any creed, birth, or class, but where
every citizen has the right (o aspire,
to the highest position In his or her
chosen walk In life.
These are the con'dltlons which will
appeal to the most desirable people
for this or any country, conditions
which, to a certain degree, millle an
automatic selection of the tlttest.
Canada possesses farm lands In
large ureas which may be had free or
nt a cost within the reach of the net
tier of limited means. Vast areas aro
available for settlement within reason
able distances of railways. Land val
ues have In the last quarter of a cen
tury received a tremendous Impetus,
so that any good farm laud which can
still be secured In Its raw state at
reasonable juices Is an attraction.
Such lands today are probably more
attractive to the settler than were the
free homesteads of the pioneer era.
The country has been tried out; It
possibilities have been proved; the
trails have been blazed; tho founda
tions have been laid. Railroads, tele
phones and pulJle roads, have Iwen
provided ; market towns dot the pml
rl'es and other agricultural districts;
schools, churches, nnn all the marks
of modern conditions of life abound.
Records which have, tieen tnken over
a period of years establish the fact
that Western Canaihi's grain produc
tion Is greater per acre than that of
probably any other new country. It Is
worthy of note that the production of
grain per acre In tunny of the older
countries has Increased with the In
tensified farming methods which tho
very high cost of land made necessary.
This condition does not yet obtain to
any extent In Cnnada, and yet tho
yield compares favorably with somo
such countries In which the cost of
hind Is very much greater than It Is
In the funning districts of the Do
minion. In most cases present owners
of Canadian farm land who lire not
cultivating It themselves are willing
to sellout moderate prices and on
terms arranged for the convenience of
the purchaser, provided that the pur
chaser Is prepared to go Into actual
operation and bring the land under
cultivation and cause It to produce.
That Is the kind of settler which Cnn
adn wants and to whom It extends
open arms. Advertisement.
