. Prof. ltlattfnsws says that one of the most inurkcd differences to be noted in the critical periodicals of 1821 and those of 1921 is the pro- gress from anonymous to signed articles. Rarely in the magazines cf a hundred years ago were any signed. Nowadays ‘few important criticisms remain unsigned. and ii‘ they are unsigned the regular Wad- er is almost always certain as to who wrote them.

Canada and New Foundinnd.

(From the Montreal Gazette.)

There has always been, in the Dominion, a sort of standing invita- tion to Newfoundland to come in and thereby "round-off Coneiedcro- tion." Wiheu the British North Am erica Act was draiwn up. the possi-

iiility ovf the entry of Newfound- land was ‘in the minds of Canadian

statesmen, and provision was made (or it in the Act itself: it is there today. The disposition in this coun try toward the absorption of New-

foundland has been. in a general way. favorable. This attitude has not, however, been reclprocated in Newfoundland, except at times when -lt has appeared that the is- land people doubled their ability

to get along alone. A desire for Confederation. growing out of a financial depression and having for its ‘immediate object the trans fer of public debt from Newfound- land to an enlarged Doiiiinlon. is not, perhaps. the happiest foundat-

ion ior a mutually beneficial union. At present, particnlruly, Canada

has financial problems of its own which seem likely 1o test, with usual severity. the resources of the people.

Beavers Saving Fish and Woods.

A very interesting fact in relat- ion to the Ibeavers of Maine has been brought out by the recent for- est fires, ibcing disclosed in the

DQL. Cummings of Hoiilton, and from a section nboiitwliich coni- plainis have been made to tiig De- partment 0f island Fisheries and Game relative to lalleged depre- datlons of the beavers.

The iboavers were doing no harm whatever.
