Story of an Incantation Told in an English Court. In defending an action brought in the Creditor; (Devon) County Court recently by a. grocer named Ford to recover £2 for goods sup- plied, Edith Patten, a single wo- man, gave an extraordinary rea, son for not, paying the debt. When in the shop on one occa- sion, she said, Mrs. Ford offered her 8. cu ful of tea, and while she Was drin ing it Mrs. Ford's daugh- ‘ter pronounced the following in- cantationzâ€" “Make tli‘em hot and make them swell, make them thin, walk them away and work them away.

CANADA’S GREAT RICHE MINERAL AREAS EXTEND ['1’ TO THE ARCTIC OCEAN. Prof. M “Our silver deposits are unique. Five years ago similar deposits to those in Cobalt today were found in Port Arthur, and we know that the mineral ‘Cobalt' has been {mind away up in the Great Bear Lake district. There is no reason why another Cobalt should not be dis, covered up in that great northern country.” This emphatic statement made by Professor W. G. Miller, Ontario ‘Geologist, at the Toronto Canadian Club luncheon the other day evoked considerable enthusiasm, coming as it did at the close of an address in which the speaker, an acknowledged authority on the subâ€" ject, has shown beyond the shadow of contradiction that Canada pos- sessed mineral deposits of a varied nature, second to none in the world. In fact, Prof. Miller had no hesitation in saying that one of the great drawbacks of the mining developments in this country was the boosting of the agricultural to the detriment of the mineral re~ sources of the country at large, and particularly of Ontario. His ad~ dress was necessarily rather dis- ‘ cussive, as in the short time at his j disposal he did not have time to go into details on the subject. In this way he ran over Canada, touching upon wide areas which at the pres- ent time are unsettled and undevel- opedâ€"the district surrounded by Hudson’s Bay for exampleâ€"and showed evidences that, minerals in great quantities existed there. ** - - - ‘ n 1 I , J D. u“... ‘l."...-..-__ He pointed out how Canada, had suffered in the past because of luck of technical instruction in its schools. But he was pleased to say that at the present time the auth- orities were awakening to the needs and were establishing mining schools where good practical mining engineers were being trained. Dr. T.

These schools, or many of thcm at least, had stamp mills where ore could be treated right under the eyes of the students. He gave a short resume of how the old mining laws and regulations had hindered development, and how the Govern- ment had seen a great light and changed the regulations so that now “blanketing” in mining dis- tricts was almost impossible. In the United States the mineral ‘output amounted to $25 per head on a 80,000,000 population. Can- ada's output only amounted to $12.50 for a population of 7,000,- 000. Still Canada’s output was in- creasing yearly. In 1897 it had totalled $28,000,000, while in 1907 it had reached the grand total of $36,- 000,000, or a. threeâ€"fold increase. The Rocky Mountain chain, ex~ ‘. tending from the far north right down through Mexico, has produc- ‘ ed an immense amount of minerals, principally gold and silver. In British Columbia this development had been much smaller than in the United States and Mexico. but that only went to show the great possibilities of our western provâ€" ince. But in Canada we had, Prof. Miller said, vast ore fields not pos- sessed by either of the other two countries, but little attention had been paid to these fields because of inexperience. Iron ore and copâ€" per would be the metals found there and in the district in a. rough way surrounding Hudson's Bay from its southern end away up to the Arctic circle, Where there was evidence of coal existing in plenty. These big fields could easily be mined, as the climate compared favorably with the Yukon territory. In addition there was an abund- ance of water power. Where rock strata of a like nature extended in- to Michigan, the mines had pro- duced 40,000,000 tons of iron ore annually, while the copper-produc- ing qualities of that State were well known. .. Cobalt now produced oneâ€"ninth of the world's silver. While last year it stood fourth, this year it should exceed llxe leader-tho State Montanaâ€"by 6,000,000 ounces, placirgg the Ontario district in the premler position. In the Russian provinces north of the Caucasus the sunflower serves purposes other than orna- menting gardens. The seeds are used to make oil, which is employ- ed both in the manufacture of soap and in cooking. The stems and the leaves are burned and the ashes used to make potash. Last year the sunflower factories of the Causasus produced nearly 15,000 tons of potash. The day dreamer is sure to at- tract attentionâ€"when he snores.

An amusing story lies behind an announcement made in Belfast that the Insprctor-General of the Irish Constabulary has ordered discip- linary measures to be taken against two members of the force who were recently instructh to take a pris- oner from Belfast to Londonderry. At a. junction en route, where the train divides into three portions, the two policemen, having some few minutes to wait, left their third- class compartment and proceeded to the waiting-room with their prisoner. The officers waited too long, and‘ suddenly realized this when they saw the Londondorry section of the train moving off. They rushed for the train and managed to jump in- to one of the moving carriages, but left their prisoner standing in amazement on the platform. The prisoner found himself in a. strange place without a coin in his pocket. He did not take ad- vantage of the absence of his es- cort, but went to the nearest police station where he explained the situ- ation. He was given a. good dinner and waited for his escort to return. avuu uw.vv.. _-.. , The two oflicers, discovering their mistake when they were in the train, got; out at the first station and came back. They found their prisoner in the police station where he had been waiting for some hours and all went on to London- derry by a. later train. TWO EXCITED I’OLICEMEN. Ladyâ€""What is it, little boy?"

Bréckville, Ont German Princess Will Devote Pro- ceeds to Charity. A flutter has been caused in the highest Court circles in Germany by the discovery that the Crown Princess Cecilia. has sold a dis,- mond diadem valued at over £5,- 000 to obtain money for contribu- tion to the fund to relieve the wiâ€" dows and orphans of the victims of the recent colliery disaster in West- phalia. n “1-4- Lan all-nnr‘v me I‘Cucuv nu _ .......... phalia.
