tJHAQ ASO GAUTON, BAOTB*- ' T.BtCRfy WORLD HAPPENINGS BRIEFLY TOLD M Laden with the spoils of their many victories, the greater *lhimber of members of the Canadian Bisley team are returning tb Canada. Special despatches from Tomsk eay that the Slberlun authorities have placed a ten-year ban On sable hunting. Extinction of the animals shortly. If the present intensive slaughter ls continued is feared. Ilia, Majesty the King has conferred a knighthood ot tbe Order of St. -Michael and St. George Upon Dr. W. F. Grenfell, known for his work among the sailors and fishermen of Newfoundland during the past 35 years. Patrick Belton, who was elected as a Republican for Dublin county and a signer of the protest of Eamon De Valera against the oath to the king, took the oath and his seat in the Dail. There was no demonstration when he made bis appearance. Reports that stray buffalo from the herds moved north from Wainwright have been making trouble in the farming country around Fort Vermilion are to be investigated. Complaints bave been made that some 15 animals of the first contingent have mixed with some cattle and destroyed crops near Vermilion. The Post Offlce authorities are issuing a warning that all parcels addressed to Great Britain and other countries must be fully prepaid when dispatched from Canada, as post- mantertt are Instructed to see that every effort is made to prevent the mailing of short pa Id parcels to places outside of Canada. .*. Coal production in Saskatchewan during the first six months of tbla year exceeded by 7,388 tons tbe output of the province for the same period Ot 1926. -T1KT sued by the Provincial Labor Department is 191,578 tons. This mark was surpassed in January to July of 1925 bf nearly 9,300 tons. Ii E. P. Ranch Improved House Haa Been Enlarged and Property Is Beginning To Vield - Returns Many improvements have been Introduced on the Prince of Wales ranch since his last visit lo 1924. The property Is beginning to make some return to its Royal owner for the sums he has spent in stocking and developing It. It has always been the Prince's ambition to make his ranch, more than anything else, a model of its kind and air example for * other farmers in the Dominion. The E.P. Ranch extends more tban 6,000 acres, small as important ranches go, but It is high-grade land, and is on one of the richest grain-growing and stock-raising regions to be found in Western America. Tfie ranch honse has been enlarged and otherwise improved since his Royal HlghneBS last saw it. A - new lounge hall and, extra bedrooms nave been added. The whole dwelling Is simply furnished. A few comfortable lounge chairs, a well-filled book case or two, and one or two water-color pictures of neighborhood beauty spots are the only appearance of luxury.** Its sporting equipment, however, ls very complete, and tbe Prince Is able ta enjny good sport.-On hls-own properly wild oucks abound on one or two small lakes and on a tributary of the High River that wlijds through the ranch and provides it with water. Mountafn trout are numerous in Uils- stream, some of them attaining considerable size, while not far away prairie chickens and -partridges are to be found ln flocks at certain seasons of the year. When bigger game ls sought, the Prince has not much farther to rido before be' comes across the trail ot he gt;ds of wild deei Ibat range over the foothills of the Rockies. -' - A Difficult Salvaging Job Raising Of German Battle Cruiser Is Remarkable Feat Draped In slime and seaweed, the keel of the battle cruiser Moltke, has been lifted above the .fcuifaro of he water In the old anchorage ground m Scapa Flow In the Orkneys, where the German fleet was interned after Its surronder In the Firth of Forth on November 21, 1918, and where the Vessels were scuttled by their crows on June 21, 1919. When tbe wreck li finally beached ln'shallow water to be broken up. one of the most difficult jobs lu tbe history of salvage will have come to a successful conclusion. The 27,000-ton Hindenburg, anoiher .of the scuttled battle cruisers, was raised witb less difficulty.' She lay on an even keel, so lhat lifting her. while a tremendous job, was a straight textbook problem. The lifting of the Moltke, which turned turtle aa she ;,ank, has presented great difficulties. In her case the successful salvage work has been due largely to the ingenuity of E. F, Cox a spare, nervous, pallid Londoner in his early forties, who at Scapa Flow Is usually found 6meared from head to foot wllh grease and rust. Mr. Cox Is a shlpwrecker and scrap Iron merchant who never did a sa vage Job in his life until be went to Scapa Flow three years ago. In the lonely Orkneys, which lie so far north of Scotland that you can rena a newspaper outdoors at midnight at Ihis time or year, he and a gang of 100 laborers have lifted 22 scuttled destroyers, the battle cruiser Hin denburg and now the Moltke. In ordinary salvage no two jobs Light Pierces Fop - Rainbow Super-Beacon Light Can Penetrate Mlste j Raymond It. Maehlett, of New i juk. son of R. H. Macblett, one of j the leading X-ray experts in America j lu the early stages of its development is demonstrating fiu rainbow super fbeflcon light, which penetrates fogs iand makes possible airplane landings ': In bad areather. The light, produced by. devices inF j Rented by Mr. Maehlett, has been exhibited at Hadley nnd other aviation fields. Wo have demonstrated tbat this light can IxTleon many miles away, perhaps fitly, * said Mr. Maehlett. It Is a form of electric Illumination without a filament. It is a 'cold light,' or produced without appreciable heat, by passing an electric current through rarifled neon gas. The color Is an unusual orange red, of 10,000 cantllo power. On very favorable days ono at Sandy Hook was seen fifteen miles. Government agencies are manifesting interest in Mr. Macblett's process and the devices beside them.' The Bureau of Standards made a favorable report on the light. Stars Honeymoon at Lake Louise ate ev6r exactly alike,, and. tnat holds good, at Scapa Flow, where the scuttled vessels lie In every conceivable position. Mr. Cox.has pumps capable ot handling more than a ton of water a second. Hc lias pneumatic hammers, drills and riveters capable Mo-frs a minute, either under water or above lhe surface. - He bas .electric lamps to illumine tbe water In the slimy hold of a sunken vessel. He has a huge pontoons of various Blzes, shaped so that tbey-fit closely to the outer skin or a sunken ship. These when fastened Into place beneath the water, are pumped oat Snd the air within them exerts Its lifting power. His salvaging ship a floating machine shop with derricks capable of handling weights up to fifty tons -has powerful engines for towing. Winnipeg Newspaper Unim Boats Were Held Up Late Tide On Thames Caused Mild Sensation In London The Thames as a rule ls a most punctual stream and the steady ebb and flow of Its tides are generally so certain to follow the figures printed In the shipping journals that any deviation from the expected produces a small .sensation on the river. On a recent day, however, writes the London correspondent of the Christian Science Monitor, the flo* was due to start at 8.51 a..m but failed to put in any appearance until after 10. Many boats, including the passenger boats that are now taking thousands holiday Margate, were held up for an hour. The Thames Is really very punc tual In lis tides, said the river superintendent of the Port of London Authority, but once In a while it acts up, and the tide ls either early or late. The delay of the flow waa due to westerly wind in tho Channel and a change ln the air pressure caused by the wind.

To Meet At Moose Jaw Advice has been received hy the Moose Jaw Board of Trade that tho Union of Saskatchewan Municipalities lias decided to hold its 1D2S annual convention In that city. . No earthly tax dodger need hope* for a clear title to a mansion in skies. , / Only those who can enjoy /dining on air can afford to trust to luck. Exploring hidden glaciers, fishing, hiking, and making a film of their own with a new camera they had purchased, constituted what Rod La Itocquc and Vllma Bi.nky considered jm ideal honeymoon. These two famous movie stars, who need no introduction to tbe American public, turned their backs on Hollywood recently for tho mountain resort of Lako Louise ln the Canadian Pacific Rockies, to spend their honeymoon. The accompanying photograph shows the six-foot-three screen star and bis beautiful Hungarian actress bride, photographed ns they were wandering along a quiet path not far from the Chateau Lake Louicse where the;- were guests t'.'iring their 'two weeks' stay in the mountains. The wedding was ad.1udged one ot the most popu- lar amongst moving picture fans, style experts and other screen characters, that Hollywood has' ever known. Wounds Without Killing Bullet Devised By Eastern/Inventor Melts After Entering -Body Composed of glycerin, stearin and ap antiseptic compound', a deathless bullet, devised by an eastern inventor, Is intended to wound a person without killing him. It melts afte rentorlng the body, leaving a clean wound, but has/force enough to stop a man at twenty feet, and would be fatal if striking a vital spot. A feature of' the bullet is that it makes twice as much hoise as an ordinary one when fired, jo It would be of aid to a citizen in spreading an alarm. Tests/ showed that it penetrated a one-inch pine board, end it was also shot into a ham to demonstrate Its properties. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON AUGUST T * DAVID SPARES SAUL Golden Text: Bo not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12.21. * Lesson: 1 Samuel .26. Devotional Reading: Romans 8.31- 39. Explanation* and Comments 1. Saul Seeks David's Life, verses 1-4. David had taken refuge In the Wilderness ot ZIph, and Saul pur-' sued him with three thousand men. Through spies David, learned of his coming. IL David Spares Saul's Life, verses 5-12. David came Upon the place where Saul was encamped, and found Saul aBleep surrounded by his followers within a barricade made by encircling wagons.. David returned to his own men and asked, Who will go down with me to Saul?*' The proposed exploit must have appealed to all of them. Ablshal, the son of David's sister, returned with David. They found the king still sleeping within tin*- barricade of wagons, with his spear, the symbol, of royal authority stuck in the ground at hla head. God hath delivered up thine enemy intu thy hand this day, said Ablshal to David, as he begged permission to kill Saul with his own sword. But David forbade. Who can put forth his hand against Jehovah's anointed and be guiltless? he asked. There was a sacredness attached to Saul's ofilce, and thoufdi David could hot tumor the man, he could honor the king. We honor in our soldiers, not their **orthi as Individuals, but the patriotic vnlor with which they fulfil their duty; should we pot honor in our rulers, whatever their' Individual worthiness, the offices they represent? With a solemn oath, as Jehovah 11 veth. i. David declared that God would carry out his own purpose; Saul should meet hl dealh as God willed, not as he,.David, willed; Saul would die by a sudden strobe, pr meet his death In battle (as he eventually did; God forbid that he should kill liim. ft will be remembered that In the play of Macbeth, Macbeth starts Upon his tragic caretr when Bie witches suggest to him that he Is to be king. In tho play tbe witches stand for supernatural forces. Macbeth can see no way of fulfilling the destiny predicted for him except through violence. The story of David Is even profounder In Its moral slgnl- I flcance than the story of Macbeth. From a source which stood to the Israelites as supernatural, David, too, learned that he wks to be king' but his slplrt was large enough to turn away from the course .which to one of tlie Macbeth type would have seemed the sure road to the fulfilment of destiny. Bishop McConnell. Taking the. spear which was at the king's head, and the cruse of water rs proofs of their visit, the two departed, and no one knew of llielr coming.

Has Innate Terror Of Water Had Noah's Ark sunk a hundred feet before lt scraped, bottom, man alone of all the animal passengers would iiave had, to exercise an acquired, skill to reach shore and safety. Por man alone ls incapable until he fights off his innate terror of the water and learns to swim. Every person drowned through inability to swim Is a victim of indifference. The parents, with half an opportunity who do not leach their boys and girls to swim are Inviting destruction of tbe most precious fruit of their living.

Irish Public Safety Act New Bill Involves Death Penalty For Possession Of Arms President William T. Cosgrave's positive declaration before tho Dail Eireann fixing the responsibility for tho murder of Kevin O'Higgins on the ext remo wlhg Qf the Irregular army secured the passage of his drastic public safety act gays a despatch from Dublin. c Some members, believlog the murder was due to private vengeance, bad hesitated to accord the Government the exceptional powers the new mearure provides fer. Particular objection was taken to empowering the police to search for documents, imprisonment for the possession of seditious documents and deport at I ok of suspicious persons. The question waa asked aa to * where deported persons would go, and it was assumed tbey would be unable to get passports. But Vice- President Blyth said the persona aimed at wero only dangerous In ire- land and lhat passports would be given them to go anywhere else. The organization which tbe Government believed- to be responsible for the policy of assassination as a means of upsetting the state was -described by Mr. Cosgrave as having cUt loose altogether from association with Eamon de Valera, and was under the Republican Party's control. It was tho remnant of the Irregular army which In May, 1923, de Valera called ofT from the civil war. Arms wero not surrendered at that time, eaid Mr. Cosgrave, and may still bo hidden. He declared also tbat documents which had been seized indicated that Irish revolutionists had been trying to purchase artillery from Germany and riiles from Italy and Prance. He asserted that one section of the revo lutionists TnrestsSea td btieet aey- who took the oath of allegiance to the British Crown. The possession of arms will, under the new bill, involve the death penalty. Some members, while willing to give the Government the power It asked for against crime, disapproved of President Cosgravo's supplemental proposals altering the constitution to block do Valera's political agitation agaliist the oath of allegiance. A New Idea For Health Old Half Breed Says Straight People Never Get Sick . certain woman had** Iost her health, and being one of the fortunate few who may Indulge their indispositions, she had spent years in tbe wake of specialists, watering places, baths and sanitariums. And still she ailed. She didn't imagine she was 111. She was 111 Sbe had headaches, terrible, unbearable ones; she was nervous, tired, and despondent; she had pains all through her; she couldn't sleep. One day she sprained her knee. She was roughing It on a western ranch this tlpie trying to scare away the hoodoo of ill heallh by f sh air aud sunshine. There was no doctor near except--a little wizened old. half- breed who lived In the nearest town some miles away. They hauled her In a Ford over a white alkali road, found the doctor playing poker at a gas station md smelling of fumes which were not of the remotest rela- tion to gasoline. Ho waited to cash In before going to hls offlce to attend to his patient. With a few dexterous twists and pulls, the knee was set, and a few directions given. Good wOrk, Doctor said the wife of the ranch owner, when the patient was safely ensconsed in the car again. You see she's sort of an Invalid and we're trying to take good care of her. She's been all over the world and still she's sick. Too bad this had to happen. Tell her to sit up straight and she will not be long sick, said the doctor with a grin. Straight peoples not get. sick. The Invalid ls about cured now. She decided to follow Hie little old fellow's advice. None of the specialists had told her the real truth. Her posture was wrong and she had suffered fhe tortures of the condemned as a result. I pass it along to those In search of health. Straight peoples not get sick might be a good axiom to do in cross-slltch nnd hang over our doorways. - - Neighbor: Why do you whip your little boy? It was the cat tha jipset the vase of flowers. Parent: I can't beat the cat. I belong io the S.P.C.A. Factory Doctor: There's nothinf wrong with you but laziness. Tired Hand: Wot's the Latin for that, sir, so's I can tell the foreman? Sometime* money lulks,'but more often it stops talk.
