Se WORLD. HAPPENINGS BRIEFLY TOLD T. H. Hull, Toronto, was elected president of the Canadian Associa: tion of Advertising Agencies at. the annual meeting held in Toronto. The text of the South African nationality and flag bill has just been issued, The bill provides that the Union Jack shall be flown in con- nection with the new flag. The smallpox record for 1926 once again gives the United States unenviable distinction of having re- ported more cases of this preventable disease than any other country out- side of Asia. : The Prince of Wales and Premier Baldwin probably will sail for Can- ada July 23 aboard the S.S. Empress of Australia, it is understood. The Premirer expects to return 17, The Prince will stay two.or three | weeks longer. A number -of foreign’ troops en- gaged in a fracas at a-cafe ‘in Shang- hai, China, and after it was all over the police reported .that British, Italian, French and United States soldiers and sailors were from bruised heads. The Daily London Telegraph’s Melbourne corespondent states. that |’ the Australian export of apples. this year is the lowest in 20 years. Fhe exports reached 1,439,000 cases, of which almost a million. cases have been sent to Britain compared with 4,250,000 cases exported last year. Hon: J. A. Robb; minister of fin- ance, contemplates a trip to Europe this summer. While he would go primarily for the purpose of a holl- | day, the minister, would deal’ inct- dentally with some trade matters. One of them would likely be a trade treaty with Germany. Basil Newton; representative at Hankow: of the British minister to China, is understood to have, been recalled. This is interpreted here as a gesture of British disapproval of the Southern Nationalist. Govern- ment under the leadership of Eugene Chen. Germans are said to be ‘buying: more pictures in London galleries than Americans, and therefore are taking the art-acquisition lead of.the world. Their favorites are the early Dutch. Masters, for which they are paying very big prices, but ‘they also are purchasing other popular paint- ings. Another Valuable Discovery Scientists Devise System’ to Measure Speed of Blood in Body The speed with ‘which the blood travels through the body can now be measured “by a system devised by Pr. Herman Biumgart and Dr. Sema Weiss, of the Thorndyke Memorial Laboratory of the. Boston. City Ilos- pital. , Physicians say the method will be of great value “in - diagnosing and treating diseases of the heart and circulation ‘system. sanding phy~ siclans can how deté just how much of its work the heart 4g doing. In a statement ‘today, Doctors Biumgart and Weiss describe their: system as follows: “SX minute’ amount -of .a . Fadio- active substance is injected into the yeins of one arm and by. means of an electrical ‘detecting device the time of arrival at various parts of the body is: noted. The speed with which this radioactive substance is transmitted by the blood gives a meacure of the speed of the blood stream.” z : In the course of time the oldest inhabitant becomes a survivor: Ww.

CANADA’S * prought within~the-nieans, THE GAZETTE OLDS. ALBERTA, | Confederetion and After Sixty Years of Progress The, Renaissance of the Buffalo in the West One of the least creditable incidents in the early. history of the west, after. the coming of the white man, was the near-extinction of the buffalo; one of the more creditable was the effec- tive steps. taken-at the last moment to save the buffalo from utter extinc- tion and bring him back, not to any- thing approaching his one-time num- bers, but to’a population. that | en- sured the survival of this interesting and valuable animal. : At one time the buffalo ranged jover the greater part of North Amer- of many of the early travellers and fur-traders that a hundred years or more ago they travelled in such in- | credible numbers‘over the plains. of what is now Western.Canada that the | country. was literally black with them las far as the eye could reach, Never- itheless at the time of Confederation they were practically extinct in Bri- tish North America as well as in the. WeStern States, although it is estimateq that they once numbered -1 75,000,000. Ilow they were exterinin- ated is not a tale to remember. One of the most picturesque links between the present and the past so far_as the buffalo is concerned, is the veteran Canadian poet Charles Mair, still living in Victoria and approach- ing his ninetieth. year. Mair knew the west when the buffalo might still be seen occasionally in their native state, and was.so impresseq with the tragedy of ‘their, extinction that in 1890 he published, through the Royal Society of Canada, an appeal that aroused the interest of thoughtful men. Some years later steps were taken to save this vanishing race of native Canadian. mammals, with such success as may be seen today in the west. . It so happened that, almost acci- dentally,;;a few buffalo had been saved when the rest of the race dis- Jappeared, A man named Michael | Pablo finally built,up a herd of. six | hundred in Montana. The Canadian | government ‘bought these and had them carefully transported to. what jis known as Buffalo National Park, \in Alberta, about midway © between | Saskatoon and Edmonton. In _ this area of.one hundred thousand acres the buffalo ‘have thriven ‘and maulti- | plied until even that large area be- | came insufficient: to support’ their numbers. : , “o-During* the summer of- 1925 the ‘ experiment-was trieq of transnor.ing | sixteen hundred of these buffalo to i the wooded, country to the westward | of Great Slave Lake, where there | were already known to be about two | thousand wood buffalo in a natural ‘state. The experiment worked so | well that. last year over two thou- | sana more buffalo. were sent north this. year. the ,from the Park; and i game number will be taken up to join ltneis brethren. In addition-about two | thousand animals have: been’ slaught- ered from time to time, and disposed of in the public market, to: keep down the numbers of the herd. Neverthe- Jess there will be about six-thousand buffalo in the park. In other’ -words, the handful of | buffalo that Pablo started with, or the six hundred that “were first brought to. the park, have increased to: four- teen thousand. That is surely a more satisfactory and a more creditable sight than the countless piles of buffalo bones that once marked the prairies of Western Canada.

Archbishop Machray frequent- ly spent his period of recreation in Diamond Jubilee Celebration Some Suggestions for Guidance of “Committees The mayor or reeve should call a meeting to form a jubilee committee. } The municipal council, educational. au- thorities, representatives of church- es, societies and other organizations should. be: included. The function will be to arrange programs for the celebration, and to appoint sub-com- fmittees to deal with such matters as finances, decorations, sports, parades, ete: Public buildings and . streets should be decorated with flags and bunting, and citizens generally should decorate their homes. : A good way to get people together is to have a procession. Engage the local band and have the children join in the parade in which all societies and organizations should have a part. In the parades, floats portraying the history:.of our country should be in- cluded. young people might arrange histor- ical tableaux, with suitable .music. Veterans should also be requested to join the parades. Newcomers in- all distriets should be especially invited to take part; where there are old set- tlers; they should be: especially asked to join in the celebrations. The flag should be flown in conspicuous place, and the procession should march past and salute. : There. might be.a picnic or. other demonstration. with sports for the children.-In the evenifg. there could be a concert with fireworks and a community bonfire or other illumina- tion. oD Destroying Icebergs In North: Atlantic Method of Demolishing. Party Has Been Highly Successful An iceberg of almost indescribable beauty, 500 feet-long,with a hollow -in the centre 90 feet in-depth, having sides of porcelain white and contain- ing an emerald-green lake four feet deep, was encountered by a-recent iceberg demolishing party. Armed with ropes, ice picks, axes, drills, and canisters containing ther- mite; they were trying a highly suc- cessful method of destroying icebergs that endanger the trade routes of the North Atlantic. On landing, the party drill holes into the ice and insert the chemical charge,’ which is é: by fuses. ‘Ther- mite develops 4 ndous heat at a great’ rate, reaching} as high as 5,000 degrees’ Fahrenheit” In a few hours the largest iceberg cracks and ~° dis- integrates with a noise resembling an earthquake.

He always objected to the size of Marlborough House,: and al- terations have been so carried out that. his private suite. consists of comparatively small cosy rooms, around which are the big state and reception rooms for visitors and state functions. Canadian Fish Hatcheries” aes i: Under natural conditions only from 1 to 15 per cent of fish eggs are fer- tilized and hatched. On the other hand by ‘the artificial methods used in Canadian hatcheries the average proportion of fish eggs hatched runs from 50 per cent. to 95 per cent., de- pending on the species and the con- ditions under which the eggs. are taken. — Occasionally a man gets so dis- couraged that. he feels like writing poeiry.
