At this_timeâ€"of theâ€"ear barns arc usually filled with hay and grain, which keats to a greater . or less extent according to the condition of the crop when housed.. Scientific men tell us that the gas and heated air thus . formed by the fermenting bay and grain fornis a good conducâ€" tor to <transmit an clectric current, which may come in contact with the ascending gas to the building in which it is generated. +It is not imâ€" possible for a barn to be struck by lightning at any time, but the danâ€" gercis ‘lessened toâ€"a great extent alâ€" ter the fermentation of hay and grain has ceased. new fellowâ€"countrymen, to these new subjects of the King, I offer the most cordial of all welcomes, cordial to one, cordial to all, a welcome in the first place to those of our own kin who have come from the lands beyond the sea, a welcome also to those who have come from the neighboring republic on the otherâ€" side.

We must have the coâ€"operaâ€" tion of the old settlers and ploneers, the men of the old Provinces, chiefly of the Province of Ontario, who came here when the land was a desert, and made the desert smile. We must have the eoâ€"operation also of the new citizens who have come here from all parts of the world, I may say, to give to Canâ€" ada, to give to Alberta, the benefit of their individuality, of their energy, of "And since it happens that I have the honor of occupying the post of the first servant of the Crown in this counâ€" try, let me say, on behalf of the Crown, with the concurrence of His Excellency the Governorâ€"General, that to these There has been an idea extant that strokes of lightning were disastrous visitations _ from _ Providence _ over which man had no control. This supâ€" erstitious belicf has, however, . been exploded, â€"and: is at â€"present held only by the more illiterate and irrational members of the community. Nearly every school is more or less conversant with the principles _ emâ€" ployed in harnessing the lightning for the purpose of doing the will and performing the service of man. This is well illustrated in the case of trolâ€" ley lises, for although lightning â€" or electricity is employed in propelling the loaded coaches, yet in case of a thunder storm provision is made . to convey any superfuous current that may strike the wires to the ground. Scientific experiments and practical results prove conclusively that any building properly rodded and groundâ€" ed is to a great extent immune from disaster by lightning. Lightning rod peddlars have not in some instances borne the most desirable reputation, which may have had somethbing to do with the prejudice against lightning rods. ~Nevertheless, this is the only known protection against the ravages of lightning, and everyone having his buildings properly _ rodded may feel comparatively safe.

The afternoon part of the cclebraâ€" tion at the park, while, owing to the threatening aspect of the weather, not as largely patronized as â€" should have been the case, yet drew a sarge crowd, between two and three thouâ€" sand people being present. The La ‘Tiemos Co. gave a very creditable and enjoyable exhibition of travelling ring work and song _ and dance specialtics., and this with the music provided by the 29th Regt. and City Bands, furnished the carly part of the programme. 12 boys in sailor attite, represontâ€" ing British Navy Tobacco. _ 3 A Augâ€"ofâ€"war between Guelph. and Berlin Labor Councils followed, which went to Berlin‘s strong men.

But Berlin tugâ€"ofâ€" war team, sharing the town‘s general character, are not quitters, and . so could not say die. They dug in (very literally) and gradualiy pmied their opponents over the line. _ Bascball Match. The bascball game between Berlin and Galt, a Canadian League schedâ€" uled game, proved rather a lisvless one, _ ncither team displaying much ginger. The playing was not altoâ€" gether what could be called loose, but was not aggressive or snappy. Play was close enough, however, 10 keep up interest. Galt won by more opportunc hitting,â€"less â€"costlyâ€"errors, and the old story so far as Derlin goes, a little more head work on he bases. * + %a A fairly good programme. was proâ€" vided and the crowd, as Berlin crowds always do, put in a guod time and saw that the day passed off â€" with befitting enjoyment. f Suitably: Celebrated by Trades Unionmen of th Twin City and Surroundâ€" ing Towns and Cities.

But there does not seem 10 be much support for itâ€"either in praciice or theory. It will secure.continuity, but that can be as well or better seâ€" cured by the reâ€"election of the memâ€" bers who have shown themselves worâ€" 'thy of the honor. The electors can ‘always secure as much continuity as they want, and when such as they do not want is imposed by the alternatâ€" ing system, it is not likely to be in the public interest. The fact must be faced ‘that the electors do not take a healthy and continuous interest in public affairs. Occasionally in â€" outâ€" bursts of indignation they . make sweeping changes in the personnel of their representatives,, and these qutâ€" bursts and the fear of them constiâ€" tute ore of the strongest influences making for care and watchfuiness in municipal public life. It is quite evâ€" ident that this influence is much weaker under the alternating system than when all members and candi dates come before the electors at the same time. Ald. ‘Thomson, of Ualt, attended the annual meeting of the Ontario Municipal Association last week, and the Reformer says he is of the opin ion that it will soon te necessary for the ratepayers of the municipality to form an association to protect themâ€" selves against the organization known as the Ontario Municipal Association. That: body, the doctor says, is comâ€" posed chiefly of aldermen, municipal officers and solicitors, and its meetâ€" ings are conducted in their interests, rather than in the interests ‘of the ratepayers at large. . The criticisms and acts of the association emanate imainly from men who take a narrow and sectional view of the Municipal Act, instead of looking at the . law in its wide application to all muni cipal conditions. The test of practical experience in the school board has not revealed any advantages in the system of alternate retirements. It is by no means . an unbealthy inGuence for an elected reâ€" presentative to te reminded of | his relationship to his constituents onec a year. He is quite as faithful wher the ‘election is an immediate â€" pros pect as when it is in the remote fuâ€" ture. A general accounting by all the members of a representative body is more productive of a wise decisior than is an election in which mary are not called upon to face their conâ€" stituents. Advocates of the alternatâ€" ing system must â€" bring _ forward stronger© arguments than have yel been â€" advanced before it can become generally popular. â€" THE ONTARIO ® _ _ MUNICIPAL ASSOCIATION Itching.

Mr. Mills was a teacher in the old land, and a local preacher. ie came out to Ontario with a view of entering the ministry of the Canadian church, and, after a year‘s teachiag fi;e, was received in 1851 as a proâ€" tioner for the ministry. In 1855 he was ordained in Queen‘s avenue church, London, and the only survivâ€" ing members of the ordination class of seventeen are Mr. Mills, Rev. Jas.

"I will~ also advocate the entire abolition of statute labor," said Mr. Campbell. "I mean not only the abâ€" olition of the labor, but of the tax alâ€" so. I would have all roadway expenâ€" ditures defrayed out of: the general taxcs of the township. I too would like to see a closer union of. townâ€" ship, county and province in the matâ€" ter of trunk roads. I would like to see the expenses of all roads defrayed by all three.â€"This would result in the towns and cities paying a greater share of the cost of maintenance."
