[" MONTREAL WITNESS M DOUGALL & 90 son Publishers.* THE TIDE MAS TURNED AND 18 RiSiN In thousands of homes all over Canada those seven words will bring satisfaction.Yet satisfaction is too strong a word for the mere turn of the tilde, It must be a full tide and the good work of making ft so must go oa.But there is optimism in a rising tide.If the crop of new subscriptions received during the three days immediately before going to press can be accepted as an \u201cearnest\u201d of what Is yet to come a new day has begun to dawn for the Witness.Many individual subecribers have secured new subscribers; and some \u2018Temperance organisations, notably the W.C.T.U,, are actively working thelr members and environments for more clrculation for the Wit 9.bere are many letters which we would like to answer personally.But did we do so it would so monopolise our time that it would seri ously interfere with our work for readers and country through the paper itself.Next week wa propose to begin listing the names of our \u201cEnvironment Publishers\u201d, our \u201cpartners\u201d in the service of the Witness in their respective environments.Lat the \u201cDRIVE\u201d proceed through \u2018be coming days and weeks with the greatest optimism and determination.Meds Satisfy \u2014 me sie Q nation on earth is pot interested in what has been done today.It fa the most important step in the history of the modern world.The future should of arbitration and collaboration, in which war and armament have md place.\u201d Such vas the joyous utterance of Aristide Briand, the only one of thd assembled peace.makers whoss tongue was loosed in his- own language and who perhaps was happiest In hailing the greatness of the occasion.\u201cIt is the first step, but a decisive ome, toward the pacification of the world, and in its wake the prosperity of nations.\u201d So spoke Chancellor Luther.He spoke the mind of all in thus assuming that other steps must follow.There was One present, rejoicing exceedingly whom none saw, whom even the films will not reveal.It was He who had in paln to say that He came not to send peace on earth but a sword.That sword, turning every way, still keeps man out of paradise.The diversity of religions causes religion to be igmored at the world's supreme functions.But where men are sevcred by differences of faith and hope they can get together on the greater ground of charity or love.It is, as the second Luther said, a first step, and a decisive one, toward the world\u2019s better day.would be crippled.Disarmament ISARMAMENT implies some method of determining the maximum armament for each nation, having regard to its internal police requirements.France is naturally taking the position that it also implies the determining of minimum armaments.Security being an absolute condition of disarmament, a vulnerable nation like France or Belgium wants to know on what other assistance they can Teckon in place of the defences they are surrendering.Lord Cecil, representing Britaln, sees the logic of this, but fears to put it on the agendas lest It obstruct Progress by complication.The practical Reed of the present is to get the armament down.An End And a Beginning G RERCE must pay Bulgaria over two hundred thousand dollars for her recent invasion of the letéer's territory.The League commission has made that eward and Greece albeit grumblingly, VOL.LXXX.NO.49.has accepted.Although the commission heid that Bulgaria had no right to call the borderland peasantry to arms, In the main the decision is that Bulgaria lived up to the covenant and Greece did not.Greece must, therefore, pay for most of the damages.This concludes the episode which threatened to set the Balkan powder magasine ablare.Its termination represents the League's greatest trl umph so far.Important and necessary as is the humanitarian work promoted and carried through from Geneva the great purpose for the formation of the League was the prohibition of war.The Greco-Bulgar Incident was a great\u201d test.It representsd a greater problem owing to the fact that Greece had been the vic tim of Itallan brutality at Corfu following a similar origin of trouble, and in spite of Greece's appeal to the League.But the latest action of the League Council bas effectively effaced the unwholesome precedent established by Itaiy at Corfu.The League has proved in this case that the covenant means what it says.Loyally adhered to, and strengthened in weak spots by such reinforcements as the Locarho agreements there is no doubt that the danger of in ternational wars will be greatly lessened.It is not the end.There looms through the mist Turkey's threat to defy the League's award in the case of the Mosul Loundary.The League's weapon is to cut oft all relations between the condemned state and all the members of the Lesgue Can this be ordered?As things are it would be ltke handing all the commerce of Turkey over to the United States and Russia.\u2018The League's power s0 far is rather- in the moral force of its findings than in any discipline at its disposal.Another Hatehat Buried ONDERFUL, is Ît not, how Locar no has repeated itself on tie smal er scale of the eternal quarrel of the sister British Isles! Wondertul, is it not, how that phrase, \u201cSpirit of Locarno\u201d has become current coin the world over, even with those papers that have most persistently fiouted the League of Nations.The announcement that the commissfon on the Irish boundary was ready to re port was bound to put all Ireland in a quiver.It was contemporaneous with that of the resignation of the representa tive of tho Free State on the commission, opening the difficult question whether the report would be valid without his name.Professor MacNeill, & loyal nationalist, had apparently come to terms with his fellow commissioners upon a very reasonable rectification of the boundary.But Do rectification would suit either end of Ireland, and Professor Mac- Nelll having returned to Dublin and learned what passions the report would certainly arouse, took the course he did.perhaps the best one for the peace of the world.Possibly nine people out of ten in Ireland would bave quletly accepted tha rectified boundary, and been glad it was settied.But there was that other tenth.There was the dougbty Uister premier who had, shail we say, sworn mot to surrender an inch of Ulster territory: and many, too, who would hoid him to his pledge.And there were the disciples of de Valera in and out of the Dail, who are very unwillingly held back from fight ing for Derry and Enniskillen.In fact he very forecast of the report brought nosth and south almost as close to colilsion as whea Sir Edward, ww, Lord, Carson drilled the Ulstermen to\u2019 resist the enforcement of an Act of Parliament.But Lere is the miracle of it all.Mr.Baldwin immediately calls the two Irish premiers to London and gets them to terme in an hour or two, has them sitting together in the Commons gallery to listen to the hum of universal approval, has them Tine together and get back to Ireland by the same fast traip.The agreement was the simplest.Sir James Cralg might keep his pledge, and Mr.Cosgrave would have better hope of a quiet life leaving the boundary question alone than by anything that could be dome to it.Moreover, CANADIAN HOMESTEAD The People's Paper MONTREAL, DECEMBER 9, 1925.80th Year Great Britain would forgive Ireland her share of the war debt.True, Ireland had promised to be good for that: but how to pay it must have lain heavy on Mr.Cos grave's bosom.Possibly the British pre mier, being a shrewd business man, felt that he was giving away an imponderable asset (there he agrees with the Irish republicans) and that he was getting in return a real one when the Irish leader undertodk all local damages.At all events, all three parted very happy indeed, giving the commissioners who had labored so long and loyally on the boun- cary Job the assurance that their work was not futile, as this happy issue could not have been reached but for their labors.The Spirit of Locarno T would have been against nature if the dove of peace had flown into the Dall without causing a surprise and a ruction.To affect a Rochism, the dove of peace poured water on the troubled oil, and there was a quair sputter.The agresment the president of the Dail had had the assumption to make was an unmitigated betrayal.It abolished the Council of Ireland, the only remaining link between the two Irish parlisments\u2014a link unfortunately with little or nc reality.Mr.Cosgrave was able to reply with fervid conviction that if they wanted Irish unity he had put them on the best way to get it.\u201cI want to go on record that it is my firm belief that the settlement of the boundary question along the lines of the agreement signed last night will tend more surely and more speedily towards Lringing about the ultimate unity of Ire land than any other course thst could have been sdopted under the ctreum- stances.Sensible peopie will say the sante\" fer fact the agreement clos es with a provision for further meetings between north and south \u201cto consider matters of common interest.\u201d And there are devout Irishmen who have found fn the withdrawal of Britain's war claims the abolition of the last vestige of tribute.\u201cIL is Ireland's turning point,\u201d says Mr.Cosgrave.For the rigid letter of the old treaty, it subsetit- ules a spirit of neighborly comradeship, under which ancient prejudices will be forgotten.The Prince of Charms ~ RITISH papers have been bidding the Prince of Wales visit Ireland.Such a visit might well place the cope- stone on the temple of Irish peace to which Irish and British statesmen have recently contributed their efforts.The: suggestion is taking form in connection with laying the foundation stone of the Ulster parliament buiiding at Belfast.He cannot well go to Belfast without going to Dublin.The Prince as ambassador at large has visited every continent and ry other member of the British Com- wealth.Everywhere he heg captured the hearts of statesmen and people ty his bonhomie, his capacity for enjoyment and for giving enjoyment.Like h's namesake David.he is \u201ca mighty valiant man, and à man of war, and prudent in ! matters, and a comely person.\u201d He pos sesses the charm which was the heritage of the Stuarts, grafted upon and refining the sturdy Brunswick stock.These qualities are calculated to give him & peculiar place in affection of the Irish people.And is fie not also named Pat rick, and is he aot a lover of horses and u reckless rider\u2014\u2014and if he is thrown now and then.does he not pick himself up and try again with unbated courage?The prince would willingly have gone to Ireland had he been allowed, at the height of the Sinn Fein trouble and done his part toward allaying the passions then raging.But the life of the Prince was counted too valuable to risk sacrifice by bomb or bullet.Grave statesmen held that the Irish trouble was constitutional and only a constitutional change could remove it.They did not know the Irish people, .SINGLE COPIES, FIVE CENTS, Subscriptien $200 per year.The Celt And His Chieftain S TRANGE as it may appear, in Ir» land's eight bundred yesrs of tragie Association with England, English kinge and princes have often been popular with the Irish people.With the Celt there Is stili a divinity that doth hedge a King, and it would not be unnatural jf the Prince should win the loyalty of the Irish as Bonnie Prince Charlie was King of the Highland hearts.Stories are told of the generous loyalty of exiled Irish soldiers on the contis- ent to the exiled Stuarts.When George IV.visited Ireland his carriage was stormed by an eager populace.\u201cSoap and wather will never touch this hand again!\u201d exclaimed one ragged on thusiast.\u201cThe first gentleman of Europe\u201d was rather horrified at the suggestion of how long aiready the hand which bad grasped the royal palm bad been a stranger to \u201csoap and wather.\u201d Queen Victoria on each of her visits to Ireland received = vociferous welcome.So did King Edward, so did King George.Personal rule, the personal touch, the Chieftain, is always dear to the Celt.The King is, to the Anglo-Saxon, a constitu tional symbol.To the Celt he is still sur rounded by something of the halo of Divine Right.It would be especially delightful if the Prince of Wales, that is, the Prince of Gaels, should fall in love with some Irish girl, a descendant, of course, of some of the ancient kings.A union of the Crowns on the HiH of Tara would be like the climax of an old Cel tic fairy tale, and fairy tales thess dars have a queer habit of coming true.Hosts of Midian Prowl on Holy Ground I N a deep valley between Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon in which the-infant Jor dan is & \u2018umbling rivulet\u2014there, nestling rt the feet of the majestic snow-crowned Hermon, whose solitudes the Saviour sought at the crisis of His ministry to commune der there, where Peter reat feaston of His Measiahship, there, where the chosen ones \u201csaw His glory,\u201d is Hasbaya.the old stronghold of the Druses, whose tar buleat history courfed those mountains fastness: Therw™ Where an American mission was harried jn 1860.and many Christians massacred, but where for a generation or two the Druses have been crowded out by Maronite and Greek Christians, they entrenched themselves, garrisoning the hillsides to destroy any invading force entering from north or south, Good tactics, perhaps, for the days of Roderick Dhu; but, the inhabitants having largely fied, French guns are said to have laid Hasbaya low.So mixed is the geography of the de spatches, that we find ourselves mow at Jebel Druze, or Hauran, on the Yarmuk, the boundary of the British mandate of Palestine, now at Damascus, now in Leb anon.But the above seems to be at least one episode of the subjugation.General Sarrail, who bombarded Damascus, was recalled and replaced by a civilian, one de Jouvenel, sent to use milder ways.But he has met with conditions in which these were not thought possible.Comparing their conditions with those in Palestine the spirit of revolt fs very general, and the Druses, who for the eight or nine centuries of their history have never gone unarmed, are not easily quieted.There are writers in England who see behind the whole rising some master mind who has timed it to coincide with the risicg in Morocco, and who is working it with consummate skill.The Financial Future in France RIAND'S new government has emerged victorious from its first battle in the French Chamber.After a strenuous all-night session the immediate financial program of the government was eadorsed.Over seven billion new paper francs are to be put into circulatinn.This represents a depreciation in the value of the franc of another fourteen per cent and is to that extent a capital levy on money bolders alone.But the rest of the people do not escape.Income taxes are raised twenty per cent; property taxes and transfer taxes on the sale of stocks fifty per cent; business profits tax fifty peg _ ter, dut perhaps not the woret.mot go further than to meet France's crued liubllitles which, if she bad met, have meant ifmsolveacy.One «f the paradoxes of inflation is that it ie feverish activity in the various inéns tries.There is hardly am unemployed artisan im France today.In Italy the industrialists recently petitioned Musso Lai to atart & mew program of inflation.The reason !s obvious.The stabllising of the paper currency values imevitably brings a reaction.With the artificial stimulus removed buying stops.Unemployment is inevitable as Great Britain.who has faced her debts, too well knows.Under the circumstances there is great difficulty im comvimcing the producers that the process of stabilisation, however frst, 1e altogether desirable.The French people have shown a marked reluctance to follow the other nations through the crécal of higher taxation.Will they be more willing to do so whea they begin to realise that one of the certain effects ef the program js unemployment and relative stagmation ia commerce?The Presumptucus Turk URKEY declares that she will not sccept aay decision of the Mosul dispute which does not fully meet her wishes.By the tresty et Lausanne this piece of effrontery is in keeping with Turkey's record since the war.Though beaten in a military sense far more de cisively than Germany was, Turkey emerged tbe conflict mors as the victor than the vanquisbed.She had lost enormous areas peopied by subject tribes.But the loss seemed to release all the most vigorous blood of the Turks themselves who are no g if not a military people.Moreover thing akin to a natiomal revival has taken place.At the élose of the war the Turks were general ly saying \u201cKismet: our time is up.\u201d Un: der Kemal's dictatorship orthodox Mo- quite as aggressive.The Turks absolute ly demoralized the Greek invaders of Asia Minor, literaily driving them into the sen.Than they overran ths allied zone on the Dardamelles.Epithets and even missiles were hurled at the British troops at Chanak A mew war was only prevented by the remarkable diplomacy and patience of General Harington.But all the Turkish demands wers conceded.Turkey regained all land south of the Bosphorus es well as Constantinople itself.Appareatly she is attempting {he same tactics mow.But she is now facing the astions as a whole.The people of Britain are war-weary and commercially depressed.Yet at Locarno they showed willingness to go even further than under the League Covenant in the interests of peace, by undertaking to punish trouble makers.Much as has been said in erican quarters about ofl at Mosul, apd Pritain\u2019s greed for it, the Britich people would feel very greatly relieved to be T'd of the whole question.Britain helds her mandate from the League, and will throw the responsibility on it.She will only assert the claim of Irak ag its dgent ond with its aid.The covenant requires not only acceptance of the League's decl sions bat economie and, it need be, mill- tury measures to enfqrce them against any rebel nation.Such being the case, the League Council now in session seems tc be treating the whole question very gingerly.The League is feeling its way.it will hardiy be in à condition to fanc- tion fully umtil it is really the League of cll the powers.Not only Germany, bat Russia and the United States are being invited to the disarmament conference.it is clear that, without such great powers, any gesture toward disarmament would be crippled.Again Trotsky K AMENEFF, one of the Soviat \"big | three\u201d declares that the breach be- would get off with a reprimand from a - tween Trotsky and the other party lead ers has been finally healed.This is.perhaps, the first time that the worl has been fully and frankly told that gea- uine difforemces did exist among the Communist party leaders.It has always been announced that Trotsky's health de manded another trip south.But Kamen- oft was very definite.Speaking at a party congress at Rostolf on December first, he said: \u201cYou will be glad to bear that differences of opinion between our com- rede Trolaky and our colleagues of the cemtral committees of the Com munist Party are now a thing of the past.Trotsky now is fully im accord us, and, despite his recent il health, bas beea taking an important part lately in the work of the central committee.Not only does he now enjoy our fuil confidence, but I may tell you I persomally intend to vote to maintain his membership in the cen trail committee and tbe poiit bureau\u201d \u20144he imner ruling junta of six per

leaders hesitate.Indeed, his land policy fs the most radical suggested by any British leader, and will certainly revolt an element in the party, which ele ment, however, greatly covets the Geor- glan war chest, which its posscssor has devoted to his revolutionary proposal.Sedition HAT ls sedition?Nobody can quite answer.In England anyone can say anything he likes about any institution.He oan rant from a seapbox, and the policeman protects him as he does any other British inst\u2019tutiom.Indeed there have for a generation back been Sundayechools in England whose purpose and practice was to nurtare children in the abhorrence of ail that the Englishman holds sacred, and papers broadcasting like sentiments among people who are seeing no other.It would seem that what makes any of these things count as sedition is whem they make for imminent danger.The trouble fe that by the time that ie the case, to Fat on the brakes hes the appeurance of interference with established rights, and of

household work in the future were opened up at New York when V.K Zwery- kin, a physicist of the Westinghouse KEl- ectric research laboratories, gave a demonstration of his newly-invented Improved radio tube.The tube, which is a combination of a photo-electric cell with 8 radio-vacuum tube amplifier, was exhibited for the first time at the electrical show held on October 20.At that time the new instrumeat was shown to be so scasitive that the smoke of a cigarette rang à bell and caused à radio loudspeaker to howl.Mr.Zwerykin attached his new invea- tion to an electric washing machine, such as is common in thousands of households today.Holding up his hand so that it cast 8 shadow between a lantern and the new device, Mr.Zwerykin set the washing machine in motion.A moment later he kelé up his hand again, and the machine stopped its churning.The interruption of the light rays had been enough to move a switch and start the machine in operation.Mr.Zwerykin belleves that by achievements such as this his machine will become necessary to housewives everywhere.Simply by waving good-bye to her husband !n the morning the house wile may set the machinery of her household in motion.He says she will be abie to start her washing machine, her electric iron, her dish washing machine, her electric toaster, all with a simple wave of the hand.More than that, the inventor predicted that the rays of the rising sun would be abies to turn on the heat in the furnace of the future household.The sun's light, acting or a Zwerykin tube, will also be able to shut the bedroom windows and start the coffee percolator in the kitchen while late risers in the house are still asleep.THE MAGIC RUG Broadcasting officials have aoncocted psychological remedies which are guar- antesd to glue public speakers before the microphone during an address and otherwise cure pernicious pacing and-wander- ing about the lecture platform.Credit for this unique discovery\u2014called \u201cthe magic rug remedy\u201d\u2014goes to technical staff members at KOA, Denver broadcasting station of the General Electric Company.First announcement of the cure was made following a ten-month trial involving the worst offenders among national and Western speakers who have appeared before radio listeners.\u201cNot once has our magic device failed to turn the trick,\u201d asserted Alfred Thomas, resident engineer in charge of technical operations.\u201cMost any type of rug fills the bil] If it is soft and of contrasting color to the floor.It should, however, be of small dimensions, say three or four feet.It is placed a few feet from the microphone, the distance depending who'ly upon the volce of the person to be heard.\u2019 \u201cUnconscioualy, the speaker assumes a position on this yug before the microphone and there remains until his remarks are concluded.Subconsciously he regards this piece of floor-covering, with ita imaginary boundaries, as an island ot safety and fis disinclined to venture elrewhere about the stage, Minister, it was pointed out, are the test behaved before the microphone, while political speakers are the worst.\u201cKOA's plan to prevent a speaker from taking gymnastic exercises on the lecture platform ts indeed novel,\u201d declared Dr.D.E.Phillips, eminent psychologist of the University of Denver.\u201cThe small rug upon which he stands gives him the unconscious or dimly von- scious suggestion that it was intended for that specific purpose.As he proceeds with the talk, any tendency to step ox likewise gives an unconscious warn- cg.\u201cThe

Many storage batteries which have been left idle tor some time In a semi-charged condition have become \u201csulphated.\u201d In this condition the battery !s partly ruined.for the acid has dissolved some of the plates to form a sulphate of the metal of which the plates are made.It this condition is only mild it can be remedied by the fan himself in the following manner: Pour the contents of the battery very slowly into the sink and al- jow the water to run for a long time.Next remove the plates from the case and scrub the inside of the battery and the elements with distilled water.Do not put any ordinary tap water into the battery.Now make a 6 per cent.solution of sodium hydroxide (caustic sods) and distilled water.Pour the solution into the storage battery and charge it slowly until the positive plate shows a pronounced chocolate color.Remove the solution snd scrub the battery once more until it is perfectly clean.Now purchase some new acid and fill the storage battery with it according to the directions given by the manufacturer of that particular battery.The battery may now be charged and tested with a hydrometer, and it in the proper condition continue to use tho battery as if nothing had ever happened to it.This procedure will not restore a bdat- tery that has been \u201csulphated\u201d to an extreme condition, as is sometimes the case.It this has happened, it is best to take the battery to a battery service station.\u2014 N.Y.Herald-Tribune.Japanese Brondeasting Mail from Alaska, the South Seas, Australia and Pacific Coast States received at KGO, Oakland, Calif, now frequently mentions reception of Japanese broadcast stations, Station JOAK, Japanese Government owned, located in Tokio, has been reported heard in San Francisco and other Pacific Coast: points, \u2014 FOR THE SCRAP BOOK Reradiation is an evil of poor operation of receivers, of burning the filaments too brightly in an effort to catch distant stations, and of twisting the dials rapidly to and fro for no reason at all.One of the worst \u201cbloopers\u201d that sets up squeals and howis for several miles\u2019 radius is the auper-heterodyne when cou- ped to ground and aerial instead of to tha conventional loop aerial.It you think your receiver doesn\u2019t \u201cbloop™ or reradiats, arrange a test with your neighbor.Where 201-A tubes are used, it is possible to put more than 80 or 100 voits on the plates of the amplifying tubes, provided the proper C battery ls included Bome experimenters have found that the higher values of leaks\u2014from five to ten megohms\u2014work better with the usual detector tube of the so-called hard variety, such as 201-A, 199, and the WD types, than the lower values sometimes recommended for these tubes.It the filament current of a vacuum tube is maintained at too high an amperage for very long, the set will seem to \u201cgo dead.\u201d Turning up the rheostat may seem to better the condition for a while, but the remedy is in \u201crejuvenation\u201d of the tabe or in a new tube.The \u201cC\u201d battery is Inserted in what is called the \u201cgrid return\u201d of an amplifier, with its negative terminal toward the grid and its positive terminal toward the \u201cA\u201d battery connection.Determine by trial just what voltage of \u201cC\u201d battery works about the best with different tubes and with different \u201cB\u201d\u2019 battery voltages.In general a \u201cC\u201d battery is not considered necessary, although it may be use- fui, when but 67.5 volts of \u201cB\u201d battery are used, but from 15 to 45 volts should be used at 50 volts of \u201cB\u201d.RADIO IN THE WORLD Radio is the greatest potential educs- tional medium ever invented since the printing pross.It is greater in one sense for the kiddies.because the average child can understand the spoken word before he or she can read.The bedtime story or lullaby hour of nearly every station has proven itself almost indispensable.\u201cThere is ne longer an excuse for neglecting electrical research.Wireless no longer means pretty music and stories by uncles.It is becoming am invention of the lecometive or the steamship.It te essential to the natioa to broaden its vision and spend momey on laying the foum- dain of future prosperity.\u201d\u2014Prol A.The new super-power station 5XX, at Daventry, England, is regulariy using a power of 36 kilowatts.As this station Operates on a wavelength of adbaut 3.600 metres, its range is much greater than that obtatced om.the usual broadcasting wavelengths.Because of this renge, the station is audible on crystal sets all over England.It is estimated that over 22 million people are within crystal set range of station.The tumult of the age will pass, the Rev, Dr.Cadman told his radio

author of \u201cThe Christian Philosopher.\u201d Dick fills @ ssmewhat Unique position fn science.Be was one of the few writers who seriously attempted à reconciliation of science and religion at à time when neither side was in « mood for compromise; and for his services in this way\u2014independently et bis original astromomical work\u2014he deserves to be greatly remembered.Thomas Dick was the son ot Mungo Dick, a linen manufacturer in Dundee, where the tmiure astronomer was born on November 34, 1772.Hig father intended him to follow his own line of business, but wben in Als ninth year young Dick observed a brillant meteor, of which he gives an account tu his work, \u201cThe¢ Christian Philosopher.\u201d This observation seems to have made à Masting impression on the boy.and K arous- of a passion for astronomy which increas- od as he grew older.It is recorded that Se read all the books he could lay his hands on, even while working at the loom.He actually procured an old pair of spectacles, which he mounted into pasteboard tabes after grinding them into shape, and with this home-made apparatus he commenced observation of the stars.Stellar Observations In 1794 Dick entered the University of Edinburgh, supporting himself while stil) a student by private tuition.He studied for the Secession Church, and for some years he was a probationer at Stirling; thence he removed to Methven, in Perth- shire, a8 a teacher.But hls devotion to astronomy never wavered, and after be was settled at Methven, he set up a small equatorial refractor, with which he commenced a series of observations in 1913, especially on Venus, which he observed in the daytime.He strongly advocated ob- esrvations in the daytime, and was in this much ahead of his age.But his suggee- tion was completely lost sight of Till ap- MONTREAL WITNESS AND CAN ADIAN NOMESTEAD.DECEMAER 9, 1985.plied with great success by Professer #chiaparelli sixty years later.While at Methven, Dick published his important work, \u201cThe Christian Philosopher; or The Connection of Science and peared in 1823, and in 19 years reached Philosophy with Religion.\u201d The book ap- its eighth edition.In 1837, Dick gave up teaching and retired to Broughty Perry, where he erected an observatury on a hill overlooking the Tay.He published a number of astronomical and religious works\u2014\" The Mental Illumination and Moral Improvement of Mankind,\u201d \u201cCeles- tia] Scenery,\u201d \u2018The Sidereal Heavens,\u201d \u201cThe Practical Astronomer,\u201d \u201cThe Philosophy of Religion,\u201d and various smaller works, These books were very popular, both in Britain and America, and were translated into Welsh; but Dick, owing to his arrangement with the publishers, derived little profit.In 1847 he received a pension of £50 a year, and in 1853 he was elected Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society.He died at Broughty Ferry, July 29, 1957, In his eighty-fifth year.Science and Religion Belated Dick's numerous works did inestimable good, both to science and religion \u2014 to science in popularizing and diffusing the discoveries in astronomy and other sciences; indeed, it is to Dick's \u201cPractical Astronomer\u201d that Professor Barnard attributes his early interest in that science.But his most important work was the reconciliation of science and religion.Taroughout his various books, be de- veioped a system of thought showing the harmony of God's revelations \u2014 in the Bible and in mature.He was constantly rointing out the mistakes of clergymen and men of science in treating astronomy merely as a secular branch of knowledge, useful, perhaps, in naviagation, but having no direct bearing on religion, instead of treating it as one of the numerous aclentific patbways to religion.He likewise blamed the average man of science for his indiffedmce ko religion.Dick Tossessed a mind remarkably free from [ FOR LEISURE MOMENTS ] fike: Yon drive awfully fast,

ANCIENT Concrete Foundations Bukit by Romans Still bb Existence Contrary to the opinion generally beld that it is à modern product, cement is actually an article well known to the ancient world and dates back so far that its origin is lost in antiquity, it 1s pointed out by the Portland Cement Association.Although portland cement was not invented until 1824, earlier varieties, of which it {s merely an improvement, were in gen- ersl use by civilization of ancient days for their building operations, as shown by the ruins and remains of their structures which have survived to the present time.\u201cThe Carthaginians,\u201d says a statement issued by the Portland Cement Association, \u201cused cement in their structures, and there exist now the remains of a concrete aqueduct built by them long before the Christian era.Two thousand years ago the Romans, who conquered and exterminated the Carthaginians, used cement as mortar between the large stone blocks of their buildings, and also made concrete of it for the foundations of some of their best known temples and triumphal arches The foundations of the world-famous Forum, for instance, are of concrete.And although it was laid 2000 years ago, it is as firm today as though jt had been mixed in a modern drum mixer.\u201cThe Arch of Titus in the Forum is set on concrete foundations in which the ancient form marks are plainly visible.The substructure of the Temple of Julius is a solid mass of concrete +in which the vertical form marks are plainly visible, and although this concrete has rested in a marshy location for twenty centuries, there is not a crack or a fracture in It.Concreté was used in many other Roman atructures, Including the Coliseum, the Temple of Romulus, the Pantheon and the Palace of Augustus, and has helped them to withstand the ravages of time to a remarkable degree.\u201cOne may well ask why, if the Romans found concrete so serviceable as a foundation, they did not develop its use even farther.The answer is that their cement was made from materials largely pre- @ared by nature in a certain manner, and its strength was limited\u201d The principle ot reinforcing concrete to withstand ten- sie forces had not been discovered.They could use cement, then, only where reinforcing was not necessary.Furthermore, industrial research in the modern sense was unknown, so it is not surprising that the nse of cement was confined mostly to mortars and for concrete to be used In foundations of buildings and roads.° \u201cThe cement of the Romans was made dy mixing slaked Ume with volcanic ash.Only in the vicinity of active or extinct volcanoes could this be done, and there was no uniformity among the ingredients.Put the xesulting cement had hydraulic properties\u2014that is, would harden under water\u2014and made possible many important projects.That the concretes and mortars made by this crude method have endured so perfectly is a splendid tribute te the inherent qualities of cement.\u201cWith the fall of Rome, the knowledge of cement-making declined, and the Dark Ages seem to have obliterated it altogether tor a period.However, shortly prior to the American Revolution, European experimenters began to make natural oe- ment of various qualities.In 1756 John Smeaton, who was building the Eddystone Lighthouse off the English coast, succeeded in making a cement that hardened under water and gave the structure a permanent foundation, which had been unat- talnable before.\u201cImprovements were made on this cement until Joseph Aspdin, a stone-mason of Leeds.England, succeeded in proportioning from materials not already mixed by nature a compound which, when burnt and ground, made first-class cement.He called it portland cement, because of its similarity to building stone from the Isle of Portland, used in such structures as Westminster Abbey.Asperin was given the first patent for portland cement, but it is considered doubtful that he really knew more than rule of thumbd methods tor its manufacture.\u201d An Ideal Gift Your particularly intelligent, droad- rrinded friend would appreciate the Witness.For the teen age something to

family wher Chancellor Luther end the German Forelgm Minister, Gustav Stresemann.signed the Loearno pact.«It was a pleasant little family party in the reception room of the Foreiga Office, with three huadred persons present.The bizck gowns of Lady Chamberlain, Mre.Stanley Baldwin and other ladies who attended suggested the loss which Great Britain has just suffered in the death of Queen Mother Alexandra, which made it impossible to have a more ceremonious signing, But it was better so, and the london crowds welcomed the German delegates everywhere with enthusiasm, which demonstrated that Britain generally shares in the joy of the leaders of the Government that the great European pow- ors have one friend more.There was no empty chair for Russia, but the absence of the Soviet Government from such a European gathering was mentioned informally by many of the delegates, and M.Briand expressed the hope that Russia might soon decide to enter tae League of Nations and spesd Europe fs the restoration of normal economic and political conditions.The nations affixing thelr signatures, and their representatives.were: Great Britain, Auster Chamberlain and Stanley Baldwin; Germany, Chancellor Lather aud Gustav Stresemann; Belgium, Emile Vanderveide: France, Aristide Briand; Italy, Vittorio Scialcila: Poland, Count El ; Csecho-8lovakia, Ménard Disarmament Spirit Prevalent Only the nations signatory to the Lo- errno pact attended the signing.The disarmement spirit was in the air and there seemed to be à general feeling that a disarmament conference must be held shortly, in order to lessen Europe's staggering military and naval burdens.After the signing the prigcipal delegates lunched informally with Sir Austen and Lady Chemberlain at No.11 Dowaing Street, which Mrs.Baldwin loaned for the occasion, and Lady Astor and a number ot other prominent people were invited te attend this party.Later in the after- ©oon seven delegations were received at Buckingham, Palace by King George which gave the last official approval necessary for the re-admission of Germany, the prodigal sos, back to the family of nations.\u2018Then the German Chancellor.and Herr Stresemann had an informal conference with M.Briand, in which they discussed at length the changed problems which will arise in the Rhineland control and the relations generally between the two nations since the Locarno pact has become a fact.Disarmament, possible reduction of the Hmitations on German aviation, the admission of Germany to membership in the Rhineland control commission and the evaouation of German territory by Allied troops were djascussed.The conference was all friendly and M.Briand said at its conclusion that mo decisions were reached, but that the Locar- no apirit prevailed throughout.Sir Austen and lady Chamberlain entertained all the members of the delegations at dinner at Lancaster house at night.Many representatives of the powers not signatory to the Locarno pacts were present.The Prime Minister and Mrs.Baldwin eatertained the delegates at dinner on Wednesday and almost all of them ieft London on Thursday.The contrast between the signing of this momentous pact and the pence treaty of Versailles six years ago Was marked in two respects.There was none of the miagnificence and glamor surroundiag the Versailles signing.The ceremony, which lasted only an hour, was notable for its extreme simplicity.And this time the Germans came of their own free will.They signed gladly, with smiling faces, in striking contrast to that other occasion when the delegates of the Reich appended their signatures under compulsion, with white faces registering a mixture of fear and anger.Entered Arm Ia Arm The ceremony was carried out in a spir- ft of optimism which was hailed as auguring well for an era of pence throughout Europe.To the click of motion plcture cameras and a blaze of kleig lights, Chancellor lather, of Germany, Premier Briand, of France, and Foreign Secretary Chamber- luin.of Graat Britain, entered the famous golden reception room of the Foreign Office.arm in arm, conversing and smiling.Alter them came the delegates of Italy, Belgium.Poland and Czecho-Slovakia, followed by Premier Baldwin and ali hix cabinet.The latter ranged themselves aiong the back of the room to witness the crowning success of the efforts of their Government.and éspeclaily of Foreign Secretary Chamberlain.whom the dele- gatey addressed as Sir Austen, because of the honor done him by the King, who awarded him the Order of the Garter, Immediately

ceremoey and expressed the King's disappointment that his mother's desth had made re-arrange- ment of the program necessary.Chancellor Luther Chancellor Luther, who followed, expressed his country\u2019s pleasure at the cos- ciusloa of the pact.After him came the remaining delegates, voicing similar sem- timents and speaking, according to tradition, {wm the alphabetical order ia which the countries fall end in the French language.All addressed the British Foreign Secretary with the unfamiliar title \u201cSir,\u201d In recogaition of tbe award given for his services at Locarno.A few

Foreign Minister Stresemann, Fordign Minister Vander- velde, ot Belgium; Premier Briand, of France, aad Premier Baldwin of Great Britain.All \u2018these used ordinary peas, but Foreign Secretary Chamberlain took up a gold quill to add his name.Signoe Sciaicia, for Italy: Count Skrz- ynski, for Poland, and Dr.Beass, for Czecho-Slovakia, completed the signe- tures.\u2018Then the arbitration
