The revisions modify the announced totals for Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Ontario. The revised figures for Ontario, rather curiously, restores previous unofficial computations, the total announced be- ing 2,929,034. _ The total by provinces and terri- .tories, as compared with the 1911 census, now stands:â€" â€"Censusâ€"â€" Province 1921 1911 'Nova Scotia . . . . . . 523,837 492.338 New Brunswick . . 387,839 351,889 Prince Edward Isl. 88,615 93,728 Quebec . . . . . . . . . 2,349,067 2,003,232 Ontario . . . . . . . . . 2,929,054 2,523,274 Manitoba . . . . . . . 613,008 455,614 Saskatchewan 761,390 492,432 Alberta . . . . . . . . . 581,995 374.663 British Columbia . 523,353 392,480 Yukon . . . . . . . . . . 4,162 8,512 N.

This will be an increase of ten members over the pres- ent representation. The figures are, however, still subject to revision, and final returns may make a change. This, from the gold-rush days. applies particularly to the case of British Columbia.

London, Feb. 26.â€"â€"-Pninoess Mary will utilize the wedding gift of the John D. Archbold estate in Hamp- shire, England, to found a school for Girl Guides, it was learned to-day. In establishing this school, Princess Mary conceived an unique way: of employing, to the advantage of mg- lis‘h girls, some of her wedding prose ents. Every girl throughout the Kingdom beaming the name of the Princess has contributed to 'buy a present for their Royal favorite. From all these Marys the total donations have been in the neighborhood of $40,- 000. Half of this sum will be turned over by Princess Mary as a foundation for the Girl Guides’ School, the other half of the expense of conducting the' schliligl being home by the organization itse- . By utilizing the Archbold residence and the “Mary” fund, the Royal bride plans the establishment of a school for poor girls, which will be self-supporting itself and will help make the girls self-supporting also. Princess Mary considers the school will be a constructive enterprise in ev respect, and for that reason has formally accepted the gift of the Archibald home. 9...“ Two More Shot in Belfast.

Angus, of the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering, University of Toronto, has arranged a series of special lectures on water- power development for students and others interested. Five eminent en- gineers are speaking, between Febru. ary 27th and March 6th, on the utiliza- tion of the vast waterâ€"powers of Can- ada. Lewis F. Moody of. Philadelphia, Max V. Saucr and Thomas H. Hogg‘ of the Hydro-Electric Power Commis- sion, W. M. White of Milwaukee, and Norman R. Gibson of Toronto will each deal with the phase of the subject in which he specializes. The provincial university is giving regular courses in water-power development and: con- servation at the present time, and has done so for many years, numbering amongst its graduates men who have become noted in this field of engineer- ing. The present series will, therefore, supplement the regular courses and will bring the university into closer contact with the men who are respon- sible for the engineering work of the greatest watcrâ€"powers in America, and therefore the greatest in the world. m-_-___ First Group ofiMennonites Leave for Mexico A dresp-atch from Winnipeg says:â€" To prepare the way for all members of the old colony of Mennonites in Manitola, an advance guard left here March 1.
