Of e0FxTHE BEST WAYS . TO
iMAKE MONEY IS TO INVEST
I IN WESTERN CANADA. j
fDeep clown la tho nature of every
prpperly constituted man is the desire
to town Boine land." A writer In the
lofTa State Register thus tersely ex
presses a well-known truth., The ques
tion is where is the best iand to be
ha$ at the lowest prices, and this the
saine writer points out in the same ar
ticle. The fact is not disguised that
the), writer has a personal Interest in
the statement ol his case, and there Is
no.lilddeu meaning when he refers to
Western. Canada as presenting great
er (possibilities than any other part ot
ihd; American Continent, to the man
whjtt is inclined to till the soil for a
livelihood and possible competence,
wiat Interests one are the arguments
advanced by this writer, and when
fairly analyzed the conclusion is
reached that no matter what personal
interest the writer may have had, his
rcijtona apiear to have the quality of
great soundness. The climatic condi
tions of Western Canada aro fully as
goAjl is those ot Minnesota, the Dako
tasf or Iowa, the productiveness of the
soij ig as great, the social conditions
roqva parity, the laws are as well
established and as carefully observed,
lu addition to these the priceof land
Is mufch less easier to secure. So, with
tkeW advantages. Why shouldn't this
he' otter of Western Canada be
embraced. The hundreds of thousands
otlisettlors nw; tiere," whoso homes
wejre originally in the United States,
appear to be are satisfied. Once in
awhile complaints are heard, but the
Canadian tljave; never spoken of-' the
country ; aW un -Eldorado no matter
wHat they may have thought. The
winter happened to have at hand a few
letters, written by former residents 6t
the United States, from which one or
two extracts are submitted.. These, go
toprove that the writer in 'the1 Regis
ter has a good basis ot fact in support
othis statements regarding the excel
lency of the grainv growing, area of
Man'toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.

HAS ft PERFECT HEAD
CRANIUM OF
DETROIT MAN
BALANCED.
EVENLY
H. Griffith,- Director of Museum ol
Art, One of World's Rarities,
According to Phrenolog- '' :
ical Expert.
Detroit, Mich. Joshua J. Axtell, a
Detroit enthusiast on the subject ol
character delineations, who has meas
ured the heads of most of the famous
men who have visited Detroit during
the past few years, has found a per
fectly balanced head in Detroit, ;that
of Armond H. Griffith, director of the
Detroit Museum of Art. Here are Dr.
A-xt ell's observations:
A perfect human head. It must be
evenly balanced in its four regions
the anterior, posterior, superior- and
Inferior. '
In the make-up of a harmonious
character we need an equal develop
ment of all these regions of the head,
and out ot more than 10,000 measure:
ments taken during a period, covering
over 15 years,' Pr-of.' A. H. Griffith is
the first man to display exadV con
formity of brain centers.
"It is well known among anthropo
logical experts that Prof. John M. Ty
ler, professor of biology in Amherst
college and. son of America's famous
Greek scholar, has a head every meas
urement of which conies as near being
perfect as anything human can.
"The delineator of character finds in
the development of brain lobes the
ey to.; personality and , power and is
able to determine, from measurements
taken over given centers the exact
ability of an individual in any given
direction. 1'lms we,, know of latent
traits coming through heredity. And

then, again,' the effect of environment
is apparent as changing the instructive
tendencies, molding and shaping the
destiny along., entirely new lines.
broadening or narrowing the individu
ality, or perhaps productive of entire
ly new conceptions and habits of life.
'Prof. A. H. Griffith is a man whose
education and training have been such
as to produce the critic and the in
dividuality i calculated to demonstrate
the ideal.
"Delving among tho anthropological
relics of past ages, studying the mys
teries of human life and its products
has brought into play a marvelous
number of faculties unknown to the
average mind and 'this continued ap
plication and energetic accomplish
ment in the gathering of facts and
fiction as illustrating the develop
ment of art has produced a head
measuring 2Si ' inches around the
base, and so lie wears & hat measuring
7V6 in size, while the average , man
Is satisfied with a .22-inch head and
6'A hat. -. ,
"Over the forehead from ear to ear
the searching perceptive group have
pushed out 12 inches, showing that
more than ordinary keenness mark his
observations and so the average man
with 11 inches is quite willing to
accept his pictures as pointing out the
best that is to be seen and discovered.
. "Around the chin is an equal meas
urement and here .we have the ex
ception in heads, as . it proves the
angle of Lombroso, true to proper and
harmonious character building as re
lated to physical ' and mental char
acteristics, 12 Inches giving proper
physical expression and strength to
enable the mental, operations . to be
carried on without wear and tear;
ac being a perfect balance against
emotion and propensity which so often
carries our greateist men and women
into disaster and ruin through over
indulgence. ,v .,.'
"Ear to ear over top of the head
gives us 14 inches, equal to the
average, and proving in comparison;
with the ; other large measurements-
how unselfish and devoted to an ideal'
the life and character are, for no com-,
mercial ideas. 41c pel fish propensities)
have 'enlarged tne middle lobe to seek'
executive power or selfish benefits.
"Prof. Griffith will TOobably never

him I predict a-jgrpwlpg recognition
and love, for he - is- indeed a peerless

German Druggist's Successful Experi-j
ment with Pigeoni Camera. :'
- -i'4; f i
New York. The pigeon is the firstj
,bird to become a photographer. Drjj
'Jules Neubronner. of. Germany, a drug-'
gist, has invented a camera of light
weight which can be carried by; a pi
geon and exposures made - automat
ically by a unique form of rubber bulb.
So successful has this camera proved
that it has a value for military pur
poses. Among the photographs taken
by a pigeon have been views of por
tions of the park of the imperial pal
ace at. Friedrichshof not open to the
Pigeon Photographer Ready for Work.
public. This demonstrated the value
of the bird photographer for obtaining
military data. -
The inventor of the pigeon camera
first became interested in carrier pi
goons through his father's ' experi
ments with them. His father WaS
alsa a druggist. As early as 1840
he made use of pigeons to deliver
medicines, which were carefully . at
tached to the neck of the bird. This
method of distribution was of great
value in cases in which the medicine
was needed urgently. Before attach
ing a camera to the pigeon the invent
or made a number of preliminary ex
periments in taking picture.) from ex
press trains while traveling at high
speed in order to determine the speed
of shutter required for taking pic
tures while the camera was in 'swift
motion.' ' : "- - '
t He then attached his inventittn fd';'a
bird. The results were surprisingly
satisfactory, it is said,', although the
pictures were only - one square centi
meter in size. A new camera, by
means of which pictures four square
centimefe'rs in aea could be talien,
was made.' The camera was fitted to
the breast of the pigeon by means of
elastic braces passed across the ack
underneath the wings. Eighttconapecu
tive - snapshots were ; made at "regular
intervals by the automatic exposing
device.
; As it has been established that the
pigeon is able to carry a burden of
more than two and one-half ounces for
a distance of 150 kilometers. Dr. Neu
bronner intends to enlarge the -capacity
of his camera from eight to thirty
films. .Pictures can be taken while the
bird is traveling at as high a' rate of
speed as 22 yards a second. :At: the
invitation of the German secret-a'ry of
war,' Dr. Xeubionner has exhibited the
camera in service before the , aero
static battalion. . .. .

"McFarland and Welsh must then go
through the same process. ' Forty-five,
rounds, mind you. Must not be any
hitch there, either. Then' the winner
of the first bout will haye to go" 45
rounds with the winner of. the last.
Then I will meet the winner; and not
till then will I pay the least attention
to these fellows. I believe, and the
public will by that time, that the win
ner of these bouts will be a pretty fair
sort of a fighter, and: he is bound to
be a great drawing card.
"The limit to these fights, however,
is 45 rounds, and they can't even get
my ear unless they come to me under

word and I stand ready to make good.

- Sprinter . Makes New Record.
'' R. E. Walker, the South . .African
runner, did some excellent work and
broke a record at Johannesburg,
South' Africa, the' other day' in short
sprints' at the Wanderers' Sports. He
made 100 yards in 9 2-5 seconds. This
equals his time, made at Abergavenny,
Eng., .last August, and it is one-fifth
second less than the previous record
made by Dan J. Kelly at ' Spokane,
Wash., June 23, 1906. Walker also
made the 120 yards dash in 11 2-5 sec
onds. This is a new record. The ree
ord for 120. yards, 11 4-5 seconds, was
held by H. J. Wefers. , It was made at
Travers island September 26, . 1896.
These records are for amateurs.
Walker won' the final in the 100-meter
dash at London last summer.
