Canada’s exports to _ the United States last year amounted to only 287,000 pounds. Canadian Cairy factories can produce casein of “bigh quality and there is no partic- ular difficulty in manufacture. One Of the chief obstacles to a large ex- port trade, according to the Natural Resources Intelligence Service of the partment of the Interior, is that ‘Canadian manufacturers of cascin have not yet seen their way clear to ‘guarantee deliveries in the quantities - desired. Casein is interesting because it ada imports considerable quantities and has export opportunities, and be- cause it has a most fascinating list of uses in industry and in the arts. ss Casein is generally manufactured me) re ‘ om skimmed milk. Of course skimmed milk has other and impor- - - tant uses-as in the production of) Sie skim milk powder, condensed skim milk, skim milk cheese and for feed- ing livestock. The use of skimmed milk for the manufacture of casein is a d when cir ances re such that it cannot be put to It is known that large quantities of skimmed milk are going to waste in many dairy factories and if this waste could e.conyerted into casein it would epresent a step in the efficient utiliz- tion of raw materials and be of enefit to Canadian industry and ade. , Casein is generally prepared from "sweet skimmed milk. It is the curd . Its uses are legion, though Yanada at p it is pri Hy! used in the coating and sizing of pa- - and also in the manufacture of r furniture and veneer work. In Europe, however, casein is further converted into a plastic or hardencd ~~ substance resembling horn and which can be worked into a countless num- ‘ber of useful articles of commerce. here is no manufacture of casein plastics in Canada. If there was we would find that skimmed milk was ome ee electric itings, cigar and cigarette holders, _chessmen, dominoes and dice, backs for hair and clothes brushes, combs, _ door nobs, and handles for umbre!- "las and parasols, piano keys, buttons, leads, and brooches and other inex- pen i y and _ These are only a very few of the % items which can be made from casein plastic which is a non-inflammable and highly elastic substance which ; can be sawn, drilled, turned, glued and moulded into any shape desired. It is an inexpensive substitute for many natural materials, often rare and costly, such as Chinese jade, lapis lazuli, ivory, ebony, amber, tortoise Be shell and coral. Many ingenious ef- fects can be produced with casein a plastic, as it can be produced per- fectly transparent or dyed in a var- _ iety of single and marmoreal colors. The considerable quantities of easein still imported into Canada, the _ Increasing exports and possibilities of! establishing a really large export! market, the opportunities for increas- ing the output of casein glues, casein paints, etc., as well as in manufac- Ing casein plastic products, all points to an excellent outlook for the ‘manufacture of more casein in Can- ada. 3 ey Ses: bee he judge said, ‘If you surrender promptly to your bail,’ it will be in “" your favor.” ; “And shall you do so?” “Certainly.

If certain insects fail to visit them the crop of seeds fails; if they keep their appointment the crop succeeds. F These visits depend somewhat on the weather, but sometimes disas- trous results occur through the de- pletion of these friends of the flowers. Several hundreds of flawer species, too, depend not upon insects, but up- on the visits of honeybirds, humming-~ birds, and sun-birds, and if these are killed or driven away it is a disaster for the plants. There is no doubt that the keeping of bees on! fruit farms and in orchards. increases the chances of the fruit trees. - One of Canada’s outstanding jurists and a prominent figure in the political field, Mr. Justice Ernest Roy, judge of the superior court, died suddenly, recently at St. Michael, Bellechasse, where he was sponding his vacation, in his 57th year.

The representation in the house of com- mons of the districts to the west of Ontario have increased in the last quarter century from 28 to 69 seats, and is now greater than that of Que- bec, the largest and longest settled province. This shifting of the bal- ance of power has modified public opinion in regard to the tariff, public ownership and other matters to a de- gree that politicians have been slow to realize. Nor are the prairie provinces near their maximum development. More of their fertile lands are unused than the portion that is being cultivated. The exploitation of mineral wealth in their northern hinterlands will add to their prosperity. The coming of those days will bring a stimulus to the well being of every part of Canada. Remains Finck Centre London Still Leads In Regard To Banking Despite all reports to the contrary, London still is, and will be for some time yet, the banking centre of the world, according to Charles Cambie, manager of the London, England, branch of the Canadian Bank of Com- merce. Mr, Cambie is very optimistic in regard to business and financial conditions in Great Britain, and he is in a position to be well informed on these topics. In referring to London as the banking centre, Mr. Cambie said that he did not mean that there was more money in England than else-| where, but merely speaking from the banking standpoint it is the leader. Although there are many people who think that Great Britain is financially weak this is not the truth.

Not a Spanish Institution Bull Fights In Different Form Were Common Sport In Great Britain Bull figthing was not always a peculiarly Spanish institution. It was once a common amusement in it, and a terrific battle would ensue. Bulldogs were bred specially for the) sport. Their peculiar jaws gave a erip | so strong that the bull could. not throw off its attackers once their teeth had: met in its shoulder. Bear- baiting, too, was popular during the times of Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth. Both were fond of bear- baitings and bulMights, Great men kept “rings,” and there was one in nearly every place of amusement.) “Bankside” was a noted place for the} “sport” in London. The charges for | admission were a penny to enter, an- other penny to go in the “grand- stand,” and a third penny for the} equivalent of reserved seats. Thurs-) days and Sundays were the favorite! days for baiting bears and bulls. At, one time the theatres were ordered to, close down on the former days so that competition should not interfere with the baitings.

The portion of the tree is in posses- sion of Mr. Brewster. It bears the initials G.S. and J.R., those of the famous governor and of his guide, James Roland. The date carved is 1841, the year in which Sir George made his famous journey around the world. Wot until 1841 when the governor journeyed through Simpson Pass do we find a southern gap in the moun- tains used. All early travellers used the northern passes because of the warlike Indians of the south. Sir George Simpson, who was un- doubtedly a man of vision, found time to concern himself with even the re- ligious interests of his vast domain. Through his suggestion Dr. By Terrill Rundle, who arrived in Can- ada in 1840, was engaged in mission work in this country. Dr. Rundle is eternaily commemorated in the great dark peak, Mt. Rundle, that over- shadows the mountain resort of Banff, Alberta. “What does that ‘R.S.V.P.’ mean ‘on a wedding invitation?” “Well, in some cases it seems to mean ‘Requesting some valuable presents.’ ’’ Some men find consolation in think- ing the things they dare not say. “Shall I have wings when I go tq Agriculture | heaven?” vem “Shall I be able to fly? “Tea” — Vikinges
