the Great lakes, to enable ocean going ships to pass with full car- zots. This would involve the ex- penditure of hundreds of millions of dollars by the Canadian and Un- ited States governments and it is claimed would develop vnst hydro- electric powers invaluable to both countries.

Another hip engineering project of an international character and of greater interest to the Mari- times than the St. Lawrence wut- erway. is to enclose Pussmna- tluoddy Bay. at the month of the St. Croix River which forums the boundary between Maine and New Brunswick. The buy is some 10 by 15 miles/in urea, and is surroun- ded by islands which it is prnposetl to connect by dams. The great. risi- and fall of tides in the Bay of Fundy, it is claimed could be here hBPflGBtltHl to supply Iiytlro-electric etwrgy to the. New England States anti New Bruswirk.

A hydro-electric project which makes a direct appeal to the peo- ple of the three Maritime Provin- ces lmruttsc of its central location is one to dam the Petltcotiiac River between Dorchester and Hopewell, where that river and the Memram- cook join their forces. Mr. Turn- bnli, C. E.. has made plans ond has written extensively on the subject and succeeded in impressing the New Brunswick and Ottawa gov- ernmenls with the great alleged possibilities of the scheme. The prime object would be the genera- tion of electric energy by water power, for the three provinces by the sea.’ it seems to be almost as easy as rolling of a log, if only .1 solid rock foundation can be found .for the necessary dams and the necessary millions can be found to

Today, sandaled monks, with shaven heads and rough. brown robes, belted with cords. still add a picturesque note to Three Rivers, Que, the city which stands where the St. Maurice empties into the St. Lawrence.

wouten 5 feet 4 inches is the most popular, as that is ‘the height the Venus de Medici. That about it front u standpoint?

Well insurance companies pre- fer the heights of 5 feet 7 inches for tnen. and 5 feet 4 inches for women, so that our early teachings tnust have been founded on facts. it would appear that where a ninn or woman is a great deal taller. or a great deal shorter than the above helghtp, that they are not considered as good a risk. Ot‘ teourse this does not tell the whole story, because the family history is more important even than the height. .

These compntiies have thonsuttds of (zascs from which to tlrnw their conclusions.

0t‘ course the height is important in relation to the weight.

For instance the man 5.i'eet 7 int-hes should weigh about 140 to 145 lbs ut twenty five years 01' age, nnd about ‘en pounds more tlntn that tit-fifty to be considered n firs‘! class risk.

As a matter of fact to be a little, just a little lighter in weight as you grow older is really an asset. and the companies will tell ‘you that those of lighter build stand the acute illnesses betiter than the heavy type.

Premier Veniot has from time to time given intimation: that he thinks the St. John River at Grand Falls and the Neplsiqult and other rivers on the North Shore oi’. his fine Province really ought to be dammed. These projects if carried out would involve a cost that would quite dwarf that of the Dorchester-

Iiopewell scheme. All of which goes to show that the engineers, contractors and politicians are

thinking in millions and hundreds of millions these times.

Which all looko like an election near at hand. In former times rail- ways were the bnit for the dear el- ectors, and the engineers made sur- veys and set stakes. Now it is hydro-electric power and they make boringa. What does it mat- ter whether Mr. Fielding can bal- ance his budget or not? Or that the Dominion is still borrowing money to pay its annual interest bill’! The promise of cheap light and power is hoped to so dazzle the eyes of the electors that they cannot see the valley of the shadow of debt in- to which they have already strayed

so far, nor the deeper shadow that lie ahead. There are splendthrlft govern-
