the Government.The debate was initiated by Lord Selborne, who indicated the Government was deliberately facing the short sixty per cent, margin which it was agreed was necessary and which they themselves bad laid down.In 19'15 Germany would have 26 dreadnoughts in the North Sea while we should only have a total of 39, exclusive of those not built by British taxpayers.He said nothing about Canadian ships.That was a matter for the people of Canada.He only asked the House to note how sorely that help from Canada was needed.Statements of Winston Churchill proved that, the Government still con sider themselves respoutfible for the defense of the whole British Empire.Suspense of Canadian ships bad made it neccssazy for the First Lord to reconsider his policy and expedite the construction of three ships.HORSES WERE AFTERWARDS LIBERATED, PENDING AN INVESTIGATION INTO CHARGE.Rock Island, August 6.\u2014(Special)\u2014 While Ernest Channell, the ice man, was at his dinner on Monday at

the officer took the horses and Mr.Channell had to go home and get another team to finish delivering his ice.Later in the day the horses were released by Channell paying a certain amount of money.Mr.Channell says \u201cthere will be more about it later.\u201d ANOTHER ACCOUNT.Stanstead, August 6.\u2014(Special)\u2014 Mr.E.W.Channell\u2019s heavy ice team and waggon was seized on Monday by

STAY.Thetford Mines, August G.\u2014 (Special)\u2014The twelfth International Geological Congress paid its long-expected visit to the Asbestos mining field yesterday and to-day.The excursions are so arranged as to give an opportunity to all the eminent representatives an opportunity to inspect and study the particular minerals or ores in which they may be interested.Excursions are now under way to all the principal mining and mineralogical centres in Canada, and will continue till about the end of August.Our Canadian Geological Survey has chosen men most distinguished in the geology of the various centres visited to act as leaders of the excursions and lecturers on the most characteristic and important features of the field visited.Mr.T.C.Denis, superintendent of mines for the province of Quebec, was delegated as leader of the Asbestos excursion, while he was assisted by Mr.J.A.Dresser, M.A., who is now geologist for Lake Superior Steel Corporation, Sault St.Marie, but until recently engaged in geological work in the Eastern Townships, where his works on asbestos are the standard for precise conclusions and originality.GEOLOGISTS REACH SHERBROOKE.The special train with the visiting geologists reached Sherbrooke at about 12 o'clock.They will remain in the city till about 3 o\u2019clock.The visiting geologists include the following: Hans Arlt, Germany; Karl Boden, Germany; O.B.Boggild, Den mark;.Leon H.Borgstrom, Finland; T.C.Denis, Canada; J.A.Dresser, Canada; L.L.Fermor, India; Mrs.L.L.Fermor, India; H.Frechette, Canada; S.McL.Gardner, Scotland; Gteorg Guric, Germany; R.Harvie, England; R.E.Hore, tanada; James Howley, Newfoundland; Mark Hurll, Scotland; J.McG.Hurll, Scotland; J.P.Krusch, Germany; Andrew Law-son, U.S.A.; A.Mailhot, Canada; Dr.C.Palache, U.S.A.; Dr.Fred Von Grote, Germany; O.A.Welter, Germany; E.Wigglesworth, U.S.A.; J.E.Wolff, U.S.A.; Berkey, U.S.A.; Bain, U.S.A.; P.Fabrega, Spain; C.Kido, Japan; R.B.Murray, England; Dr.Edgar Wherry, U.S.A.^ H.B.Wil lis, England; A.G.P.Zoude, Belgium; Wilbraham, England; Weigand, Germany.^ ^^ The excursion to the asbestos region, A-5, left Montreal in full private train and stopped over a few hours at Black Lake to examine the various serpentine outcrops, thence direct to East Broughton, where interesting features in the Broughton phase of the serpentine were examined and abundant samples therefrom taken, to be used in the research which will he carried on in many petrographical laboratories throughout the world in order to tabulate the results following the inspection.The next stop was at Thetford Mines, which, being the world\u2019s most important asbestos deposit, demanded a more extended and careful examination.Bell\u2019s Asbestos Mines office was first visited, and the various grades of the finished product examined.In the underground workings especial interest was exhibited in the rich showings of large asbestos veins, and the peculiarities of growth of the silken fibres, which ditlerentiates from all other asbestos deposits.Mr.Dresser lectured upon the various local phenomena, such as the seamy parting of iron so commonly observed in our mineral ; the growth of the asbestus, fibrous crystals from a given centre outward, and the replacement of the wall rock by the extending crystals ; the relation between the width of the asbestos vein and the change in the bordering surpentine rock, and aplite dykes, with their supposed effect upon, the growth of the asbestos veins.The lecturer was followed closely, though it may be noted that considerable divergence of opinion exists regarding important points, and further controversy may be expected on important features.The party ten made a trip over the properties of the Asbestos Corporation, Johnson Company and the Jacob Asbestos Co., where attention was directed more particularly to the general geological features, the topagraphical outlook of the mines and method of preparing the crude asbestos for the market.The effect of the visit of the congress to Canada will be far-reaching.A vast amount of study by these visiting scientists will he devoted to clearing up many obscurities in the geological realm and the desciples of Hunt, Logan and Dawson will receive much inspiration in their efforts to gain earth\u2019s secrets from the rocks .and direct the means whereby the untold wealth now lying dormant throughout our vast dominions may be won to build our industries and used to enrich the nation.The conclusions published by these scientists, ns a result of their visit here yesterday, will he of great importance ami will be awaited with keen interest by all who are interested in the asbestos industry.TO MACADAMISE C0ATIC00K STREETS Government Has Offered $23,839 to
