For the first time in nearly folty 5-cars our cattle will enjoy the peasurc of freedom now accorded to them. Already thc eoncexlon thus made appears to have lentra fillip tio the export trade from this country. According to the latest news from O1-t-awa, shipping space for foul' thousand hcad of cattle has been pre-empted. It is, indeed, alleged/that the demand for such accommodation is larger today than it has been for many years.

DEAN OF THE SENATE The opening of Parliament next week is a reminder of the fact that to the Hon. John Machean, of Souris, this Province. belongs _ the unique distinction of being the ltfdest member of the Carisdlall `Senate Chamber. Senator Mac- Lean, despite his eighty-seven years, ls a. vigorous and alert rep- resentative, and his long exper- ience in politics and as a business man has been a valued asset to the Senate. First elected by ac- clamatlon to the Provincial Legis- lature in 1882, Mr. MacLean was re-elected in 1886, and again by acclamatlon in 1890. He resigned in 1691 to contest the federal elec- tion. in which he was victorious by a majority of 360, He reentered the Provincial Legislature in 1900, l‘eSl8ning in 1904 to again contest the Dominion field; In this election he was defeated by 57 votes but was re-elected to the local Lcgls. lature in 1908, and again, by ac- clamation, in 1912. In 1915 Mr. MacLean was called to the Senate, a. position which he has sin(-c maintained with marked ability and dignity. ' .__ ~ French-Canadian I-handicrafts". is the subiect of an interesting article in the January issue or uw canad- ian Geographical Journal. The auth- or, Mrs. Alice MlacKay, describes With Sympathy and understanding the home industries of Quebec, the survival on the banks of the St. Lawrence of spinning, weavliigafrd other handicrafts., carried on in the 00Wl8es of the habitants through many generations, and the success- ful efforts of the Government ot Quebec to revive old industries the secret of which was almost lost. The illustrations are a revelation of the extent to which the farmers and villagers of Quebec have remained self-supporting in an age that more and more depends upon factories and chain stores for the things it eats and wears. The article furnishes an object lesson which might profitably 'be studied by promoters of handicraft in this Province, where the industry has shofvm encouraging signs of re- vival within the past few years. ' EDITORIAL NOTES Commenting on the results of the Do'm.i.ni.on Provincial Conference at Ottawa last week, the Montreal Gazette anticipates a lessening of dupllcalon of activities within fed- eral and provincial jurlsd,lci.i-ans. and says the value of the opportunity the conference thus afforded for a frank interchange of vievw cannot be overestimated. Infonnatlon vb- tatned and understandings reached ln this way are bound tb be helpful to all the provinces in the accom- plishment of the pressing tasks that confront them at the present ttme. The Maritime Provinces, the Gaz- ette notes. are particularly hopeful in this respect. ‘ In an opthniaiflc editorial on the New Year, the London Times says: "Mbre than once, even within recent years, not only our nation and Em- pire but civilization itself have seemed to be near the edge of dis- aster. That we escaped by a miracle .is ll. comrrion turn of speech which happcns .to embody the ultimate truth. Certainly our escape was not due to human w'sdom alone. while' .to attribute it on successive oc- casions to an unexamplcd series of hfl-PPy incidents is a theory which thoughtful people will not readily adopt.

A _project directed to this end would no doubt meet with coilsldera-ble opposition.

' But with asthma the causes are so numerous, that it may take a great deal of time before the'exact , or true cause is located. In Cecils “Text Book of Medi- ,cine," the author groups the causes i oi’ asthma like the plrts of a tree. i'l‘lie trunk represents an underlying ‘state or condition which explains why some individuals have asthma and others do not. This trunk de- pelids on several roots one of which is an inheritance for it is known that ill nearly half thc cases some one in the family has had asthma or one of the ailments of the same group-hives, eczema, hay fever, or a scnsitiveness to a food or odor. The other roots are not as yet known. Tile tree trunk tlicrl divides into two branches: the first includes those individuals whose asthma is due to some cause outside the body to which they are particularly sell- sitive, such as pollcns of plants es- pecially racweed and timothy, dan- der from anlmals,' vegetables dust and foods. Among foods the white of egg is the most frequent cause, then come cereals. and cows' milk. The second branch includes cases of asthma due to organisms infect- ing the lining membrane of the ` nose, throat and bronchial tubes. Whether the asthma is due to Icauscsfrom outside the body, or inside, the cause of the distressing symptoms-gaspirjig for air-is due lio the bronchial tubes becoming partlyscloscd. plied the sLi';\ilger. “l`\'e just s»t-al't- ed reading about it in the guide- book. -It saystllnt the visitor, on en- tering is struck by li statue of Hercules.

Iiislde The Earth (New York Herald Tribune) Professor Reginald A. Daly's re- view at the meeting of thc Geolo- gical Society of America at Cain- i bridge still leaves the most reliable our feet to bc supplied by the che- mists rather than the geologists. seismologlsis or astronomers. Of direct evidence concerning the irr- side of the earth we have none and can expect none. Exlcept to the enthusiasts of scientific fiction a mine or bore hole 4,000 miles deep is unthinkable. There remain the evidences of travel of earthquake waves through the earth's core, the fact that this core undoubtedly ls several times heavier than it would be if composed of rock. the proofs of tidal and other changes in the shape of the evidently elas- tic crust and a few other miscel- lrrlleorm facts from which any theory of tile ¢arth's interior must be deducted. Even the idea, that the innermost part of the planet is a great ball of iron. hot enough to be molten, but kept rigid by the enormous pressure of the materials above it, rests oil actual facts which are pitlably few. The idea of an iron ball explains the excess density of the narth’s interior, and it ls sug- _ gestlve that so many meteorites are of iron, ,implying that this mc- tal ls common im the universe, but these are about the only definite facts that the iron core theory can boast. Chcnlistry's attack oil the prob- lem begins at the other end. It is probable, the cosmic chemists say, ilrat the earth 'originated from matter pulled out of the sun. If ev. this primeval matter probably had about the composition of the sun's pr-ese.¢t outermost layers, Where iron certainly is plentiful. On more or less plausible assumptions the mass composition of this original, earth stuff can be computed. 'I'his done, it is possible to deduce from firm chemical laws just which ele- ments and combinations of ele- ments would flrst conderse to ll- quid ou; of the mixed mass of white hot gases: accordingly which elements would form the central nucleus of the earth ban destined io grow into the planet.
