HARDSHIP ON COLONIAL SERVANTS.

Landon, May 7.

In the House of Commons Mr. Gideon Marray referred to the hardship acerning to colonial civil servants owing to the regulation which provides that any official promoted or transferred from one colony to another to a post. of or exceeding five hundred sterling annually must par his own passage and expenses. Mr. Murray saked for the abolition of this anomaly "which frequently compelled higher paid officials to decline transfers and promotions for which they were eminently fitted. Mr. Amery; replying, did not believe anch cases were frequent but undertook to further consider the matter.

HELIUM DISCOVERIES,

London, May &

W&5

Professor McLennan of Toronto University, who invited by the British Admiralty in 1915 to investigate the possibility of large scale production of helium has found large quantities in the natural gas of Ontario and Westem Canada, produceable at a cost of one shilling per cubic foot. The United States also co-operated and gave large orders for machinery and plant. Thus the possibility of securing large supplies of helium is assured simultaneously with the practical. details of the production of airships inflated with helium and developed by the British Navy. The progress made warrants the opinion that in another year large quantities of helium will be produced in Canada, at a low price and helium-filled airships will be in service. :
