The first of these gems has been cabled across the Atlantic. With a. few slight al- terations, which we have taken the liberty to make, the lines assume quite a familiar and home-like sig- nificance.

Notes by‘ the We!

Tin: eacellc wéru of u» Publi- city Association in promoting tourist traffic to this Province has been noted frequently in the press. and the pointwssAwell illustrated in the proceedings of the annual meet- ing held list night. a report of which appears in today's Guardian. Bure- ly the tourist business is one which should receive far more attention from the Provincial Government than heretofore. 1t is p business investment in which we cannot af- ford to unduly. The New Brunswick government has token over from the 'I‘oirrlst Association of that province the talk of/carlng for. tourist publicity, and in other prov- inces the gqvemlnents are actively participating in the W011i. 1i" the Government of this Province cannot afford t0 finance the Association it can at least co-opemtu to the fullest extent of its power, and this co-op- erwtion can be exercised in many ways. The placing of a member of thc government: on the executive of the Association might be n. sugges- tion worth considering. "

The almamcs offer but. two eoilp- v

ses for the year- 1929. Both are ec- lipses of the sun; the moon sails through the twelve months without an earthly shadow on its‘ face. One of the solar eclipsm is total and the other is of the annular. or ring, var- iety. An annular eclipse always oc- curs ct a time when the apparent or angular, diameter of the moon is a. little less than that of the sun. The masking moon, in such a case. ‘u; unable to cover the whole of the sun's disk, and at the middle of the eclipse there is a thin but; brilliant ring of sunlight around the edge 0f the black lurmr sphere.

' ._._.__. l - The total eclipse occurs on May 9. and it gives promise of being the best that astronomers, who chase such things all over the globe, have seen for many years. The path of total- ity begins south of Madagascar. sweeps across the Indian Ocean in a. northeasterly direction, crosses the northern end of Sumatra, a section of the Malay Peninsula and a. por- tion of the Phllllpine Archipelago and ends at sunset; in the western Pacific. The path of the annuals: eclipse, which occurs on November l, crosses the eastern part of the At- lanticaouthnf the Azores. marks a curving line ‘across Africa, and ends in the western-Indian Ocean.

Modem scientific speculation seems to be getting farther away from the dogmatic materialism of the Nineteenth Century, and while

it has enabled us in solve many pro- ’

blems of a practical nature it no longer offers us the assurance that ultimately we shall know all the soo- rets of the universe. We find that all our measures are but relative- the metre rod itself changes length according to its speed and orienta- tlon. It. shrinks to zero at. the speed of light, though fortunately the change is only two or three inches in the diameter ofithe earth at the trifling speed oi’ our planet. We have come to conceive of the four- dimensiorlsl Tillie-space in which we live as finite. though unbounded- somewhat. as the earth's surface. though by no means infinite, has n_o bounds. And we are told that this

‘lime-space has a measurable curva-

ture, so that rays of light emitted’ from the sun,‘ instead of wandering

away for ever straight. pursue a curv-

ed path and may return ulti-

mately to their starting point.‘ But- to grasp these ideas except byQmath-

ematica’ symbols we find to be im-

possible]

Thanh the universe is finite. we are assured that it is almost incon- celvably vast. Dr. Eddington lock- ons that light, travelling 186,000 miles per second. would take 200 million Wars to cross our world. which ali- other calculation makes a thousand times greater. Yet the atom is so tiny that. "if we eliminated all the unfilled space in a man's body and collected‘ nu protons and electrons into orle mass, the man would be re- duced to a. speck Just visible with a magnifying glass." It is nob long since the atom was envisaged as "the foundation stone of the universe"; then ass kind of solar system, in which the central nucleus was en- circled by one or moreplanetalty electrons.

A group of physiologists, represent- ing practically all the nations of the

world. meeting in Paris early in this ~

present century, proved or rather DW- vedto their own satisfaction, that. as far as the main principles of nutri- tion (nourishment of the body by mod) was concerned, that they knew all than was to be known.

However these hopes were soon Ell/fin up by the discovery of vitamins. BY this discovery it was shown that t0 keep healthy and well, additional substances were needed- nsubswlwefi hitherto entirely unknown.

ARTIFICIAL WEATHER. PRO-I VIDED FOR KING: AIR WASH- ED WITH GERMICIDE WATER.

LONDON, Jan. iL-Antiflcial wea- ther is now being provided for King George as an aid to his recovery.

From a. specially constructed plant’ comes warm all‘. heated to the re- quired temperature. and purified in

rocess. The King also is receiving artificial sunlight treatment, but it was decided today to reduce this by half to avoid the danger of over-ex- posure to the pqwerlul rays.

The air which the King breathes now is drawn from pipes in the pal- ace garden. In an elaborate engin- eering plant it is washed by constant shower of icy water, to which a small quantity of germlcidc has been add- ed

The air is then dried by a. process of condensaltion. It is passed over a series of plates, heated by steam to raise it to the required temperature. Moisture is added in the form of steam to provide the proper humid- ity. oxygen in the form of omne is also introduced. The air is piped in- to the sick room.
