ing from the Justice Department as to whether or not the confer- ence was correct in holding that ‘the railroads couldnot, of their own desire and motion, place in effect a reduction of wages on the recommendation of the chairman of a board of investigation.

"The facts are that the board suggested the decrease of ten per cent they proposed should go into effect fifteen days before their re- commendation was made. We ob- jected and held that it could notl be done without our agreement. Pay cheques were issued ten perl cent short.

PROBLEM OF A NATURALIST

The female wasp, of a certain species will paralyze a katydid by stinging it in a certain nerve cen- ter. then deposits her eggs in the‘ still living body ofthe katydid which * will be preserved in this condition to supply fresh food for the larvae of wasp when it hatches. It is a wonderful instinct for the preserva- tlon of life, It is an instinct be- cause it is said insects cannot rea- son, but the wonder is, not only how the knowledge has been trans- mitted through the countless gen- erations, none of whom have any direct communication with their parents for centuries. The real ques- tion is, how did the wasp develop this instinct? Also insects cannot‘ reason, but the wasp did have to. reason out. this procedure at the: beginning of the species, did it not?

of which was from a motorist who claimed to have run the uncanny , creature to earth. i The first letter was from "MYSW fled Subscriber." who described hi5 experience with the ghost like this: "Editor, Moncton Daily Times: ' I come as an inquirer with fahc hope that some of your readers; in- tercsted in puzzles, psychological and psychical, may be able to throw some light on the following mysteri- ous happenings.

I have always maintained that stores of ghosts and apparitions of the dead originate in tile imagina- tion of those of a superstitious turn of mind. Blncc the early morning of All Saints Day, however, I have been in asolt of dilemma, not knowing what to believe.

On Halloween night, in company with two young ladies and a male companion, all of this city, I was driving from Chatilalu. The night. was pitch dark and the rain com- lng down in torrents. About two o'- clock iu the morning wc were driv- ing along a lonely stretch of woods between Richibucto and Rexton when all at once, without the warn- ing or a thought. the figure of a W0 man, clad in white, appeared in front of the car. I brought the car to an abrupt stop, opened the door and called out. In the very utter- ance, my volce stuck in my throat i with a gulp of horror for the wo- man had vanished. I agalnstarlz- 2d the car. In a second the figure reappeared and sprang on the run- ninig board. By this time the young ladies were screaming with terror and I myself was absolutely buffeted out of~ decision. Whether to stop and throw the thing ofl’, or yield to the entreaty of the girls to keep on was post resolving. All the time I was conscious of an effort on the npparitioxfs part to speak, but on account of the windows being clos- ed, and the wind and rain, I could hear nothing. My first thought was that the figure was a disguised Hal- lowc'cn Joker late getting home, be- cause lt carried a large dark object resembling a gun. The apparition kept with us on the running board for, perhaps five minutes. When werneared a small bridge, it lcft the car without the motion of a limb. and seemingly floated into a grove near the creek-yes, floated as if borne on some mystical wind, with its long- white hair streaming be- hind. Both girls fainted, and one of them required the attention of a physician when we reached Shediac.
