Here, for perusal, is the poem written by Mother Shipton, reputed to be a:witch, who proclaimed for herself the gift of prophecy. It should be kept in mind that. this was written 225 years: ago.

And waters shall great wonders do How strange, and yet it shall come truc; Thro’ tow'ring hills proud men shall ride. No horse or.ass move by his side. Beneath the water men shall walk; Shall ride, shall sleep, shall even talk; 2 And in the air men shall be seen, In white, in black, as well as green, A great man then shall come and £0 For prophecy declares it so. In water iron then shall float As easy as a wooden boat; Gold: shell be found in stream or In rand. that is yet unknown. Water and Fire shall wonders do, And England shall admit a Jew, The Jew that once was held in scorn x Shall of a Christian then be born.

And seek to take each other’s life; soul The eagle build in‘lion’s mouth. Shall come.to every humble door. France, Be Ted to play a bloody dance, Before the people shall be free.

If $1 had been put in’ a sav- ings bank in the year 1. A.D, (the year Christ was born) and left to compound annually at 3 per cent that dollar bill today would be worth approximately 10 septillion dollars, ‘That’s ‘$1 with 25 zeros after it, “It is. difficult . to . visualize this sum of money,” says Wilfrid Cc. Krug in a sentence that is a fine example of understatement. Ina copy of the speech, distri- buted with the compliments of the ‘firm of Draper Dobie and Co., members . of the -'Toronto: Stock Exchange, Mr, Krug. writes that if; that lone dollar bill had. been compounded annually at 6 per cent instead of 3 per. cent, it would now amount to a sum exceeding $2 with 69 zeros after ‘itt! It is difficult to visualize the sum of 10 septillion dollars, says Mr. ‘Krug. To spend this amount of money, the earth’s 3 billion in- habitants would each have to pur- chase 2% million Ford cars every day for the balance of their lives and all leave wills ‘instructing the executors of their estates to con- tinue buying 2% million addition- al cars every day “for the next 2,000 years. simple illustrations: to show ‘the mathematical might and the as- tronomical power of compound in- terest.” He says that money “grow- 0 ther. 10 ye 7 per cent: and lone, England and France shall be one, Ga. | adian J zopahe y) Here’s how this particular in- aoe IN PROPANE AND NATURAL GAS APPLIANCES a BIG DISCOUNTS on propane. and. natural ¢ gas copliemces i 7.
