A despatch from New York says:â€" Resorting to the principle a sword owallower employs, surgeons of St. Mary's Hospital, St. Mark’s Avenue, Brooklyn, recovered a tooth that had been swallowed by Mrs.-He1ena Pet- arsberg'er, 80 years old.

There are plenty of people in con- tinental countries who would like to come to Canada, Mr. Black said, but there is the great difficulty of their depreciated currency. They look upon Canada, together with the United States, as among the countries which have been most successful in regain- ing their favorable position. Capital always follows immigration, Mr. Black stated, and it was inevit- able, he contended, that a flow of im- migrants to Canada would indicate increasing confidence and be followed by a flow of British capital for invest- ment in Dominion enterprises. Interest in Canada continues to grow, said Mr. Black, particularly with people who wish to take up agri- culture and a fair proportion of Britishers who intend coming out next year will have some capital to invest,l i . r . while others again will need to work “Tay-Pa on the land a while in order to get a T.

Bergamo Valley to-day is nothing but a barren waste of mud and water â€"a veritable lake in which it is dan- gerous to venture, for in some places it is over a man’s head. In this soggy mass, the bodies of the victims lie tangled among fallen trees, telegraphl poles, buildings and bridges. Here and there portions of broken walls project as mute evidence of the tre- mendous might with which the waters Cngulfed the region.

The disaster threatens to be one of the greatest of its kind because of. the vast amount of water let loose on the countryside. It destroyed hunâ€" dreds of homes, where families perish- ed without even realizing the tragedy which overwhelmed them. Thus far the dead are estimated at 700, but it has been impossible to ascertain the exact number, for whole families are missing.
