One of the most striking objects. in the exhibit of the Canadian Pacific Railway at the Dominion Exposition is a gigantic | moose head that was shot by Mr, Fred i Southam of Montreal in the Kippewa dis- trict, to the eastward of Lake Temiska- ming. The span of these antlers .is 62i inches, and the head would have gone 63 were it not that a small fragment has been chipped Off one horn in combat. Only a few years ago sportsmen doubted the existence of even a & inch head, but for some unexplained reason moose heads in Northern Quebec and in the lower provinces appear to be larger now than was the case a generation or two ago. At any rate, such as our grandfathers probably never saw. Mr. Southam came upon the animal at dusk one evening and killed it with one shot from his little 30-30 Winchester. It is hardly probable that any sportsmen have seen such a big moose head, unless it should have been one of the giant Alas- kan heads, which are, by the way, car- ried by a different sub-species of moose.— Philadelphia Item. go— COOK BOOK OFFER TO CLOSE OCTOBER 30.

The most stupendous of all academic frauds is none.other than.the.M. A. de- gree of either Oxford or Cambridge. Year by year hundreds of graduates exchange the B. A. for M. A. without having added one iota to their scholarship, and merely by virtue of payment of money. From this dublous source the universities in question derive a handsome but wholly | indegensible revenue, to ‘the disadvantage | of Tondon M. A.'s, who have to face a | stiff examination. It s surely an anachronism that a uni- !verllty should grant a supposed honor, not as a reward for intellectual—or even | athletic—achievement, but solely in order | to “raise the wind"—a policy which in- filcts grave disadvantages upon the poor man who may have taken high honors, | and yet be unable to buy a master's gown.

The' Britanfic was bulit In 184, and soon after being- built reduced the time " between Queenstowd and Sandy Hook. to less th’n elght ‘days. -She established a record days sixteen hpurs. The Brjtannic was considered-a wonder in her day, not only for her speed, but for "size and luxury. She has used the engines and’ bojlers which were put into her when she was built, never missing.a ‘day through accident or disability. The Britannic made better time after years of contiruous service than. when first put in service, making her 3iSth | tip in Septeinber, 189, in seven days, six hours and fifty-five minutes, breaking her previous record, made In 1888, of seven days, nine hours and thirty minutes, af- terward crossing in seven days, six hours and fifty-two minutes, Her best westward record was made |n August, 1896, seven days, seven hours and thirty minutes. Twenty-nine years of service under her original engines and boilers is a record not likely to be ap- proached by ocean steamships fornyears to come. The Brl!nnnlc between 1874 and 1899 made. some 260 voyages between New York and Liverpool, crossing tne Atlan- tic more. than 500 times. She traveled about- 1,800,000 miles, or enough to take her more than séventy times around the world, and carried more than 200,000 pas- sengers. ‘When the Bfltllh-Boer war broke out in 1899 the British Government claimed the Britannic for use as a transport. In 1900 she was selected to convey the im- perial corps, which escorted the Prince of Wales on his tour.of -the ‘colonies, making the trip of 29,000 miles.
