Briefly stated, the moond report of the Royal Commission on Coast Erosion and Afforestation makes estimates on two plans for converting the rough mountain land of Great Britain into productive forest. About 9,000,000 acres, of small present value, are found to be suitable for tres growth (with several million acres more in Ireland), and one scheme is to plant the 9,000,000 acres at the rate of 150,000 acres annually for 60 years a third of the ares to be worked on a 40 years rotation; and two-thirds on an 80 years rotation. At the end of the rotation the yalong and Whampoa Docks, after sales at $80.

Other stocks under this heading are after advancing to TIs. 167, slose with buyers at acres yearly for 80 years, and the expectation unchanged and without sales. is that at the end of the time the value would rench £320,000,000 or £60,944,000 above the cost, and that the annual rotari thereafter would be £10,000,000. The larger scheme would provide work for. 18,00 labourers during the planting season, while the estima lation of other industries would further reduce the ranks of the unemployed.

The average number of rastaora or shooting stars 'sible with the naked eye at a given place is found by G. A. Russell, a British astronomer, to be about 87 per hour, and it is estimated that on the entire surface of the earth about 20,000,000 daily must fall. A colume of spaco; corresponding to the size of the earth must contain about 32,000, with an average separation of about 200 miles.

The "Allenburys" Milk Foods are the nearest approach to maternal milk that science has yet achieved. They provide, when used as directed, a complete diet for infants; promote vigorous health and frowth; make firm flesh and strong bones; and are so graduated as to give the maximum quantity of nourishment the child is capable of digestag, according to age. Diarrhea, digestive and stomach troubles are avoided when these foods are given, as by the method of manufacture, they. are absolutely devoid of noxious germs, and therefore safer than, and superior, to, cow's milk, especially in hot weather."

The Milk Fodds are made instantly by the simple addition of hot water only, and are alike suitable for the delicate infant and the child in robust health.
