In the long years since then two reigning British sov- ereigns have died, the British Empire has fought two wars, dynasties and nations have disappeared, the map of the world has been changed. Yet now we read that this same Lloyd George, whose voice has sounded through all this din of four decades of world upheaval and revolution, is t Little Journeys In Science SULPHUR (By Gordon H. Guest, M.A.) Sulphur fs an element which occurs abundantly and is widely distributed in nature. In the free state, that ie d with other » it is found in volcanic districts of Italy, Sicily, Iceland, Mexico and other countries. Native sulphur is abund- ant in Sicily and in the United States. Sulphur in the combined state, that is joined with other elements, is much more common and widely dis- tributed than native sulphur. Tt is found chiefly as sulphides and gsul- phates. re to launch a new political In his 7ist year, veteran of a thous- and fights, he is “buckling on his armor.” No need to ask of the movement which Lloyd George is to lead. The arresting thing here is not the move- ment, but the man; this beginning of a new chapter in the story of a leader whose career defies fiction. Men may admire Lloyd George passionately, or hate him violently; it is impossible to ignore him. Whatever history's final verdict upon him, whatever it may decide about his policies and his mo- tives, it will have to write of him a& one of the most extraordinary figures of his time.—Ottawa Journal. al E pounds containing sulphur and one ‘| other element, usually a metal, Many | sulphide minerals are of great value 4 to man, such as iron pyrites, copper ial pyrites, zinc sulphide or blende, lead | sulphide or galena, and mercuric sul- a phide or cinnabar. Iron pyrite looks very much like gold and hence is called “fool's gold’. Sulphates are found in vast quan- - tities, both in the earth’s cnist and i in sea-water. Calcium sulphate or gypsum is one of the most import- | ant of the sulphates. Millions of tons of gypsum are mined everyyear, | and it is used in agriculture and in | the manufacture of plaster-of-paris. Sulphur compounds are also found in the vegetable and animal king- 4 doms. Sulphur is thus an essential part of most forms of life.

It was to be 10 bastioned and occupy about three-fourths of an acre. The walls were to be about 30 fect high. It was believed that the fort would be of great strategic value, but in 1818 it was found that the fort was Jocated within the limits of Canada, and work was abandoned. It was }mown for many years as Fort Blun- der. Its correct name is Fort Mont- gomery. By the Webster treaty of 1842 the fort was ceded to the United States.

It is an undesirable sub- stance in fuel, because it injures boilers and grate-bars. Sulphur has many important com- mercial uses. Its chief use is to pro- duce sulphur dioxide gas, which ig used in making sulphuric acid. Sul- phur dioxide is also used for bleach- ing and disinfecting. Large quan- tities of sulphur are used in the manufacture of gunpowder, vulcan- ized rubber, and matches. It is also used extensively in the manufacture of insecticides for use in orchards | and vineyards. The chief sulphur in- secticide is known as lime-sulphur spray. It is produced by boiling sul- ' phur with slaked lime, by which pro- _| cess a deep-red liquid is obtained. This liquid is an excellent insecticide, | especally for scale, and it can also | be used as a fungicide. | Gift Of Tea For Queen | Century Of Production Marked By i | | | Empire Tea Growers | Last year was the centenary of i the tea-growing industry in the Bri- tish Empire, and the tea-producers of the Empire have celebrated it by | presenting to the Queen a casket al holding 15 pounds of tea.
