SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1913.

In an address before the Montreal Canadian Club, Sir Gearge Paish, editor of The London Statist, dealt with the future of Canada,

I look forward to the future of Canada with feelings of optimism, which, if anything, surpass the feelings of optimism of the Canadian people, great as they are reported tobe. The world is calling for the food, the minerals, the lumber, and the other natural wealth Canada is capable of developing, and in answering the call Canadian people cannot fail to grow rapidly in wealth and prosperity. It is of the greatest import- ance that we should take a broad view of the direction in which things move at the present time. Not infrequently, in moving along, we meet with hindrances which seam to be almost in- superable, but which subsequently prove to ahave been checks which have to be sounder and more rapid. “One of these temporary checks seems to be in frontof Canada at the present moment. In recent years the world has progressed faster than its supplies of new capital have permitted, and the result is that the competion for capital is unusually keen,

He went. on to say that no country in the world is more pro- pressive than Canada is at the present time, and that no country had made equal relative progress since his last visit, whieh was in 19)! Concerning the immediate future, he said:

Naturally” people are saying at this time, Yes, we know what has been the progress of Canada in the last ten years and what will be its progress in the next ten years, In recent years Canada has been laying the foundations ‘of a great business. She has borrowed vast sums of money, mainly from the United Kingdom. and she has expended this money in pre- paring for a great expansion in her productive power, An un- usually large part of the population has been engaged in work of construction rather than production, and by means of the machinery of production provided: in, recent tears, the amount of wealth that Canada will produce iu afew years will, I he. ljeve, surprise even the most optimistic,

Canada i is passing through a period of un precedented. prepara. tion, There ‘never was anything like it. The sounds of the hammer of construction are heard from Halifax in the far east to Victoria in the far west. Across the continent, along more than one line, the same sounds are heard. Two new transcontinental lines are being pushed to completion at a pace that is almost fever- ish, Branch lines are being built on planned, Great docks and terminals are either in course of construction or being arranged for. Vast vacant areas are being opened to the hundreds of thou- sands of immigrants, who await eagerly the Opportunity to take possession of them, If the Twentieth Century is to be Canada’ 5, our country is bravely fitting herself for her great destiny.

Nothing except a world-wide cxtastrophe can check Canada. We are building a. nation, and the corner-stone of the edifice is faith in the future. There may be financial stringency, - What else was to be expected? We have been climbing .. \e hill-of prog- regs at a tremandous pace, and . we had to stop to get our “‘second wind.’’ hat’s all that is the matter with us, We'll get it very sho.tly, and then will come a period of progress unexampled i in our

HOW THE MOUNTAIN RANGES WERE MADE

At Edinburgh University, Pro- feasor Geikie’ commenced his course in the mineralogy class with an introduetory lecture on the origin of mountains. He specialized on that great group known as deformation mountains, which includes nearly all the more important elevations of the globe, such as the Alps, the Cau- casus, the Himalayas, and other great chains of the old world, as well as the long extended and lofty heights that border. the basin of the Pacific in North and South America, In the infaney. of geology these mountains were believed to be original protuber- ances of the crust of the globe, fealures acquired prior to the formation of any of ‘the fossilif- erous strata. By‘and by, how- ever this began to be doubted, and the eighteenth ‘century had nearly closed before the truth dawned upon Dr, ‘James Hutton

Prof, John Playfair and Sir James Hall, These notable observers recognized that mountains con- sisted of folded and fractured

Opinion, was clear Proof that the crust of the earth had been de- formed and. upheaved, Hall, in- deed, showed experimentally, that the foldings of the strata were |. the result of horizontal thrust or lateral compression. Notwith- standing the many observations and descriptions of the folded

mountaing, gealogy could present no clear Conception of a mountain rarige ad an organic unity ‘until near the middle of- the last. cen-
