When uicn first begin to become fa­ miliar with the methods of measuring mechanical power, they often speculate on whore the breed of horses Is to be found that cun keep at work raising oh.000 |M>unds one foot per minute, or the equivalent, which Is moro familiar lo some mechanics, of raising SIIO pounds 100 feet per minute. Hlnce 3b - 000 pounds raised one foot per minute Is called one horsepower It la natural that people should think tbe engineers who established that unit of measure­ ment based It on what horses could really do. But tbe horse that can do this work docs not exist. The horsepower unit was established by James Watt about a century ago, 1 ml the figures were fixed In a curious way. W a tt found that the average horse of Ilia district could raise 22.000 pounds one foot per minute. At tbut time Watt was employed In the manu­ facture of engines, and customers were ro hard to find that all kinds of arti­ ficial in d u c em en t! were necessary to Induce p o w e r users to buy steam en­ gines. As a method of encouraging them W a t t offere d to sell engine« reck­ oning 33.1 NA> fcot i ton nils to a horsepow­ er. And thus he was the means of giv­ ing a false null to one mt the most Im­ portant Measurements In the world. W h a t C a n a d ia n s A r e D r t n k la a . Tho drink hnhlts of Canadians are gradually changing, resulting lo an In- rream-d consumption of boor and a de­ creased drinking of wtne and liquors. During the post fiscal year Canadians consumed 4.737 rr lions of tieer per head as against 2.290 gallons In 18C0. Since confederation the per capita con- aumptlon of beer has therefore more than doubled. This baa been accompa­ nied by a considerable decrease I d th« drinking of liquor.
