‘Tests at Tclnple University show that nlusic has a direct effect on pulse, respiration and blood pres- sure." It is probable that. music has also some effect on the duct- lcas glands, and therefore on our emotions. ‘This is as fal- as we need go in cohsiderin music from a strictly medical po nt of view, though we have but touched the fringe of the subject.

During the first World war it was found that factory workers in- creased ttleir output. if they took time off for a "sing-song." The great departmental stems fell into line and commenced the day with a song. Such a procedure made pleasant associations arise, and in a fashion, new strength was tapped.

No such objection can lie against vegetables crested with "Katakilla." a preparation put up in Eilgland but obtainable at certain seed-houses in Canada.

I have just read a book with that title; the Seer (or Prophet) was 5L J0l1ll. Who, as you know was exiled to the Isle of Patmos, where he had a. vision of what was to come "ln the last, do a." The author of the book takes he stand that much of the woe recited in the Revelations of st. John, hag g1- ready come to pass, and brings in both ancient and modern history to substantiate his claim.

But sad to say. almost immediatel he tells us that the churches (of a i denom- inations) and even paganism itself are collectively referred to as that "Babylon" whose frightful doom is foretold.

VICTIMS 0F TIIE ROAD (Myrtle J. llroley)

Snow Bunting; seem to be vic- tims of I-Ilt-and-Run Driver; more than any other species oi bird. When they move south in winter frcrn their birzhplace in the lsazr- ens near the Arctic Circle, a. great many of them are killed fllflng highways such as the Portage Road wilich nuns from Winnipeg to Portage la Prairie. Cars seem to be a. new ex fence for the lovely white and rown birds and, flitting back and fort-h like butterflies they seem to enioy -raeing ceside them. Often a flock will drift just ahead of the car, even settling down on the wad. Thus many a lovelv bit of bird life is struck and

crushed.

A honk will frighten them away from the road. and all drivers sho-uld give this Warning They will receive an instant reward icc, for as the h-undreds of bodies eddy and twist in the evolutions of thfir flight, one minute a dazzling snow storm. the next a dark cloud, it is a 1110515 beautiful 518ml.

pointed" and narsh judges 0f each other.

The author is on rarer ground when he says: “Men think that with the advanced knowledge of the twentieth century, human reason has outgrown the Word of God: but history proves. without the shadow of a doubt. that when the Word is re lace’ by the roducts of man's mnd, both more and intellectual darkness are brought upon the world.” And again: "Education which leaves out God is putting the government into the hands of statesmen who will eventually exalt the Goddess of Reason." Too true. We have been ignoring the oom- mandments of God for years and now we are reaping what we have sowed.

“A Day of Darkness"

On Friday, May 19th, 1780. a re- markable phenomenon occurred in the United States. 'I‘he morning dawned fair, with the wind from the southwest. Between the hours of ten and eleven, that point of the compass showed a growing dark- mess: the sun was rising towards the zenith but gave no increase of light. On the contrary the dark- ness continued to increase till be- tween eleven and twelve it was so great that lamps and candles were burning in all he houses. It was a superstitious age, and most people believed that "the end of the world" was at hand. In one of the legislative chambers-I am sorry that its name has slipped my mind -the honorable members wished to adjourn for such a. momentous oc- casion, but their gallant leader ord- ered lights to be brought, adding, “If it is the last day, I would be found doing my duty."

Another writer says: "At twelve the darkness was greatest . . . . The birds in the midst of their blithesome forenoon engagemelts, stopped suddenly, and singing their evening songs, disappeared and be- came silent; the fowls retired to their roosts, the cocks were crow- ing in their accustomed manner at the break of day." This seems to have been the time of greatest ob- witnessed the phenomenon believed that the darkness at its height could not have been more dense, had every luminary been blotted out of exist- ence. "The dnrkness of the follow- ing evening was probably as deep and dense as ever trad been 0-b- served since the Almighty first gave birth to light . . . .A sheet of white paper. held within a. few inches of the eyes, was equally in- visible with the blackest, velvet, , . The denseness of this evening darkness was a fact universally ob- served and recorded."

Some of the happenings seem to be those accompanying a solar eclipse, but local writers unite to bar any such explanation. I have not been able to find that the "Dfly of Dartmess" was manifest in Canada: but then the Day oc- curred more than a century and l hill B80. when observers were
