This would seem to indicate the great foreign necrls for American and British goods. The secot1d.articie in the letter shows the present financial posi- tion of South American countries and indicates that their budgets are in such a position that relatively small loans would make it tinncces- sary for them to resort to barter.

A common fertilizer has been declared an "ideal treatment" for infected wounds and btirns. An outstanding medical journal of Great Britain has said that tirt-a, which farm- ers use by the thousands of tolls yearly to en- rich their soil, "seemed an ideally effective agent in the treatment of infected wounds of any description." The treatment, (liscovt-rt-rl by a United States Department of Agriculture scientist, had been used on thousands of cases ranging front sunhtiru to l)0liC infcctiotis in thc

[Tniterl States before it was used abroad. Urea is a common chemical costing less than lo cents a pound. Its use in medicine is comparatively new, but medical scientists who have experi- mented with it tircdict that it will SfilliC day be a part of every first-aid kit.

Mr. Joseph lilrringtonfla well- known mining man, recently re- fcrred to a fact. given little prominence in discussing the taxation of mines. Mr. Errlngton pointed out that since the advance in the price of gold from $20.67 per ounce, there has been a steady rise in the cost of mining. In many cases, lie says, present costs equal the former average grade

per ton. In practically all mlnes a lower grade of o_re is being mined than formerly was the

case. This means in effect. that it. is not the individual mlnes that are rurotititig from the increase in the price of gold but the workmen and industry in general.—Tim- mills Advance.

I-Ie had ordered 125 young trees, all he could get, 11nd there is a romance in that development.

During the last three months the wharf laborers of Sydney and, to a. lesser extent, of Melbourne and other ports, effected an embargo on cei-uiin exports from Australia. They refused to handle cargoes of 1111i clippings, lead, tiillow, and old iron to Japan and Germany on the ground that. these goods would onlv serve us raw material for munit- ions for aggressor nations, one of whom, Japan, ivas already engaged in a war of aggression in China. The wharf laborers’ "ban" on these cargoes became so serious that. the Federal Government. felt that. it. must intervene, It. pointed out. that. it was for the government and not a section of workers tocle- cille whether the exportation of certain goods should be forbidden and declared that. the wharf lab- orers’ "bun" was preludiclng the government in its dealings with Japan, with whom Australia was seeking to reach a new trade agree- ment. Ultimately the Federal gov- ernment threatened Lo introutlcn licensing on the waterfront if the “bnn" w-ei-e not. lifted. Previous ex- pet-fence of this licensing in Mel- bourne and Adelaide some years ago showed that its effect had been to cripple the union financ- iiilly and to exclude from work on the waterfront. hundreds of mem- bers of the union for ears. Even- tually a mass meet. n1; of the Sydney waterfront workers was held to consider the Federal gov- ernment's ultimatum and it. was decided by an overwhelminiz ma- jority that, having made its pro- test against the shipment. of muni- tilon maceriais ‘to aggressor na- tions, it. would no longer refuse to handle cargoes for shipment from Australia-St. Catherines Stand- nrd It is permissible to record the truth about. the "popular demon- strattons" that have become the rule in New York city, with their tiresome emptying of waste bask- ets from windows, their concerted rushes of disorderly persona to impede the progress of the guest on the street, their fantastic aa- sembiies of traffic obstructors and all the rest. of it.

The Rev. Gilbert White, ln his "Natural History of Selborne," has left us a claslc example of what a Naturalists Calendar ought. to be. He was fortunate enough to live in a southland parish. and In a coun- try where wild life had not to con- tend with the rigors of a winter like ours; so that he could gather the floivers of Winter Aconite and Poiyaiithus. and listen to the “Red- brcast."

In Canada generally this month 1's signalizcd by the “Janu- ary- thaw." The date is a little uti- certaili, but the records available show that. in this Province we may expect ii thaw between the 10th and the 20th of the month. In sequence the wind backs to the S.E., with rising temperature; a rainstorm ensues, and the Wind re- turns to the N. W., often by a sudden jump.
