Bulwer-Lytton was born in London, studied 

 at Cambridge, where he won honor for facility 

 in verse-making, and after his graduation spent 

 some time in Paris. On his return to England 

 he became estranged from his mother because 

 he made a marriage of which she did not ap- 

 prove, and found himself obliged in some way 

 to provide an income. Thus he was practically 

 forced into literature, and plays and novels 

 followed one another in rapid succession, Pel- 

 ham appearing in 1828, and Kenelm Chillingly, 

 his last novel, in the year of his death. Mean- 

 while, he interested himself in politics, and sat 

 in Parliament from 1831 to 1841 and from 



tenant-governor, Bulyea became the first chair- 

 man of the provincial public utilities board.

BULYEA, bul'yay, GEORGE HEDLEY VICARS 

 (1859- ), a Canadian legislator and admin- 

 istrator, first lieutenant-governor of Alberta. 

 He was born at Gagetown, N. B., and received 

 his schooling there and at the University of 

 New Brunswick. He went to Winnipeg in 

 1882 and the following spring to Qu'Appelle, 

 Sask., where he engaged in business. He was 

 elected to the northwest council in 1894 and 

 for many years was a member of the execu- 

 tive council. In the territorial government he 

 was commissioner of agriculture and of public 

 works (1899-1905), and on the organization of 

 Alberta as a province, September 1, 1905, be- 

 came lieutenant-governor, a position which he 

 filled with distinction for ten years. In 1915,

 construction, of wood, stone or brick, yet 

 affording opportunities of rustic and artistic 

 effects in material, roofing and shape, the 

 bungalow, in the minds of many people, makes 

 the ideal home. But in cities the bungalow 

 is frequently more expensive than a two-story 

 dwelling. The one-story plan demands a larger
