LONDON, May 18—Kipling has in this morning's Standard, a poem entitled "The Dead King," the argument of which is summed up in one line. "Our king asks nothing of any man more than our king himself has done." The concluding stanza is as follows: "We accepted his toil as our right None spared, none excused him When he was bowed by his burden his rest was refused blm We troubled his age with our weakness, the blacker our shame. When he heard that his people had need of him, straight way he came. As he received so he gave, nothing grudged, naught denying Not even the' last gasp of his death, when he strove for us dying For our sakes, without question he put from him all that he cherished. Simply, as any other servant, he served and he perished. All that kings covet was his, and he all turned aside for us, Simply as any that died in his-service, he died for us.". The poet tn an envoi bids him; "Who in the realm today has choice of easy road or hard to tread, And would sell his soul to remain in the sun, depart nor look on our dead."

PETERS, Manager DOMINION SENDS PARTY NORTHWARD Engineer Crean In Charge of Exploration Expedition to Great Mac- " kenzle River Basin. ~^"~ Tlie Ottawa Citizen publishes the following account, of an Important and Interesting exploration party which the Dominion government Is sending out in charge of F. J, P. Crean, son in law of E, J. Glgot, manager of the Hudson Bay company's store in this city. Mr. Crean Is well known In Nelson and is accompanied by Mr. Gigot's son Albert, who also is a member of the party. Northland Exploration. Charged with the exploration not only of Its mineral, lumbering and power producing possibilities, but also of its farming land, and with a view to ascertaining the feasibility of constructing two railways which would develop the immense resources of the country, the "Northland exploration" branch of the interior department has sent out an expedition which has now left Edmonton to investigate the vast district north of the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. In view of the great acreage of western farming land still unoccupied it might appear that Canada could rest on her plow handles, agriculturally speaking for a time hut this is not the case and Hon. Frank Oliver, minister of the interior, who has as a western man long been Impressed with the immense area and vast resources of the country stretching north from the northermost boundaries of the three western provinces, some time ago organized a branch survey known as the "Northland exploration" under the direotion of Mr. Robert Young, chief geographer. The exploration party is in charge of Mr. F. J. P. Crean. C. E.. and as lib! assistants he has Mr. William Caldwell and Mr. A. M. Beale, both qualified engineers. The party consists of five white men from Ottawa, while the remaining portion of It will be made up of Indians. From Athabasca Landing. The party went first to Edmonton nnd from there has now left across the trail to Athabasca Landing, carrying with it a fully equipped steam launch in which It will voyage down tho Athabasca river. It will go by means of horses to Ft. Smith, which a look at the map will show is In latitude ttO degrees north, and will winter there. In the summer of next year the field will be widened. Wood Buffalo. There are a number of interesting things connected with the expedition. For Instance it is not generally known that 5fil buffalo, no more and no leas, are supposed still to exist in Canada in the country where Mr. Crean's party is to go. Thompson Seton saw three; Inspector Jarvis. Superintendent Routledge and Constable Bates of the Mounted police saw others, j making a total of 59 actually seen; and now Mr. Crean will report on them. Proposed Railway. Perhaps the most important object of the expedition, however. Is the investigation that will be made as to the feasibility of building a railway across the portage at Ft. Smith and another on the chutes of the Peace river. With these built and the Alberta and Great Waterways road construction to Ft.

KIEV, Russia, May 17—The expulsion of Jews residing Illegally in Kiev was resumed yesterday. In some instances a delay has heen granted to permit a settlement of their affairs, but all of those marked for expulsion must leave the city before June 14. The order of expulsion was Issued as a result of an agitation which be gan in the Duma and originally pro vlded that the expulsion should take place on April 28 last. Subsequently the order was suspended by Premier Stolypin to permit a further examination of Jewish claims of residence. The order was issued to other cities and towns where Jews are residing without the pale, and local commissions were appointed to revise the list of those affected by the order, with the expectation that a large proportion would be allowed to remain undisturbed. — Tlie Kiev commission has considered thus far about 1000 cases, of which 850 have been found to he subject to expulsion. The governor general has reviewed the decisions of the commission and confirmed the expulsion or 700 of those listed. The Jews remaining in Kiev will be allowed to occupy summer villas outside the Qlty.^pnly through special permission granted in individual cases. Applies to Whole Empire. The order of expulsion just made effective will not only apply to Kiev but. to the entltre section of the empire constituting Great Russia, and which comprises all of the central provinces. From time immemorial the Jews have been rigorously excluded from this territory. Nevertheless through relaxation of government surveillance through bribery of minor officials, and through abuse ot certain individual privileges granted to certain classes, Industrial centres within the forbidden territory, par tlcularly Moscow, Kiev, Nljnl-Novgor od, St. Petersburg and Tlflls, have seen large colonies of Jews grow and develop within their borders. The government recently took alarm at the growth in commercial and political influence of these scattered settlements, and decided upon the strict enforcement of the original segregation law which restricts the territory habitable by Jews to the Polish provinces and the Ukrains, or Little Russia. The number of Jews within this pale Is said to be less than 100.000. Of course at least 25.000 will he compelled to abandon .the residence illegally maintained within the prohibited section. The others will be permitted to remain through certain dispensations. THE LONG ARM Two boisterous spirits who thought that because they could ride motor cycles they owned the earth, to say nothing of the country roads thereon, have found out to their Borrow what a great many people In Victoria could have told them at less cost, that Clive Phillips Wolley is a determined man and that the law has a long arm. A ^eek ago last Sunday, says the Week, these incautious youths tried to scatter a country congregation Into the ditches as they were peacefully wending their way home from church The scattering was a hugs success—for the moment—and the scallywags managed to terrify several ladies and scatter a number of, children. But the day of reckoning has come. Regardless of time and expense, Mr. Wolley followed his quarry; spent several days In Victoria; ultimately located the men; haled them before the magistrate at Duncans, and had no difficulty In securing their conviction and a fine of |15 snd costs or one month in jail as an alternative. This Is an exemplary and well deserved punishment, to which The Week haB the greatest possible pleasure in giving publicity as a warning to other motor cyclists—and some automobl lists. The action of Mr. Wolley was bitterly resented (by the offenders In question, one ot whom avowed hia determination to "get "back" at him That gentleman's only fear is that the threat may be a Muffl.

Of the administration of Lord Monck, the Dominion's first governor general, it is not necessary to write at length, _or his excellency, who was the governor of the United Canadas ■ at the .line the Dominion was formed, was governor general for only a short time after Confederation. Llsgar, The second governor general, Lord Llsgar, was, at the time he came to Canada, Sir John Young, Bart. He had already had considerable experience as a public man and a colonial legislator. He was a magistrate and lord lieutenant of the county of Cavan, Ireland, was formerly M. P. for Cavan in the British house of commons; and successively one of the Junior lords ot the treasury, from 1841 to 1844, in Robert Peel's administration. He was chief secretary from 1852 to 1855, in Lord Aberdeen's administration; lord high commissioner of the Ionian island., from the latter date to 1859; and governor of New South Wales from Jan. 1861 to Dec. 1867. He was appointed admiriiLstraltor of the i government of Canada, Nov 10, 1868, and governor general of tlie Dominion, Dec. 29, the same year. Duffer in. Lord Dufferln, although he had had no record as an administrator before coming to Canada, had the advantage of some parliamentary experience, and was a man of education, culture and exceptional natural ability. Lord Llsgar, his predecessor, had been a valuable public officer, but had had little opportunity during his short tenure of office to engage In any great social display. The actual business of the country was not, however, allowed to suffer. He was an invalid, and it was not always easy to gain his ear. Much had to he taken for granted, and in several instances the government, presuming doubtless on bis lordship's infirmities, aoted Irregularly in their conduct of affairs, and on more than one occasion important measures were introduced into the house, and passed, before the sanction of the governor general had been obtained. Lord Dufferln, on tlie other hand, was young and active, and one of the first things he did oil1 his arrival at Ottawa was to announce to his ministry that he was always available and always at their service; a hint which the government never forgot. He had an office equipped in tlie parliament building, and made a practice of regularly attending it, a pructlce which has since heen kept up by his successors. The Union Jack flying at the tall staff on the central tower of the eastern hlock signifies to all whom It -may concern that the governor general is at his desk in his office attending to ihis official work. Of course an Immense amount of Work is performed by his excellency in his office at Government house; but as a general thing the conferences between his excellency and the prime minister and the consideration of council business takes place in his excellency's office in the eastern block, wbtch Is conveniently adjacent to the prime minister's office. On account of the numerous constitutional and political questions whioh arose during Lord Dufferln's regime, that period looms big In the story of the development of the present Canadian system of government, and upon every occasion that his excellency's services were called Into requisition he added 1o his personal prestige and to that of his high office, Lorn*. The appointment ot the Marquis of l'."• Lome (now the Duke of Argyle), to succeed Lord Dufferln, was considered as a splendid acknowledgment of the Importance of the office, the 'marquis being the son-ln .aw of her majesty, Queen Victoria. Lord Lome wns something more than tbat, however. He had been a member of the British house of commons for ten years. He was a most highly educated and public spirited nobleman, one whose exceptional opportunities to study public administration and statesmanship in all Its various phases in all the capitals of Europe had been turned to good advantage. Naturally a man of refined tastes and artistic temperament, Lord Lome, as governor general, devoted much intelligent attention to the development of literature and art In Canada, and being in this Important work enthusiastically supported by her royal highness, the Princess Louise, the liberal arts and sciences received a generous stimulus which has worked and Is still working wonders. The Royal Society of Canada and tlie Royal Canadian academy are two splendid institutions which still remind us of the\movement towards national refinement/1 launched so auspiciously under vice-regal auspices. Lansdowne. Henry Charles Keith Petty-Pitzmaur- ice, Eth Marquis of Lansdowne, who succeeded the Marquis of Lome, is one of England's greatest statesmen, a man of brilliant ancestry and marvellous personal achievement. Before coming to Canada he had held high office in England. He was lord of the treasury from 1869 to 1872; undersecretary for war from 1872 to 1874, and undersecretary for India, 1880 to 1883. Highly educated, talented and trained for public life as the sons of the great noble families of England only are trained, Lord Lansdowne did much towards Instilling high Ideals Into the public life of Canada. Lord Lansdowne did much by the official encouragement extended to universities and other institutions of learning to encourage education in Canada and the (movement was. further stimulated by a series of admirable and learned speeches, which were veritable classics in their way. Stanley. Frederick Arthur (Lord) Stanley of Preston, now Lord Derby, who succeeded Lord Lansdowne, was, during his lifetime, another of the recognized great statesmen of England, and like Lord Lansdowne, be succeeded a line of brilliant and patriotic men whose names have been written in larger letters upon the pages of English history which relate to the development of constitutional government, Before coming to Canada he had been civil lord of the admiralty from August to November, 1868; financial secretary to the war office, 1874 to 1877; secretary to the treasury, 1877 to 1878; secretary of state for the colonies, 1885 to 1886, and president of the board of trade from 1886 to 1888. He wsb a member of the British bouse of commons from 1865 to 1886. Lord Stanley's regime was rather a quiet and uneventful one. His excellency showed himself to be a man of sound common sense and thoroughly appreciative of his position as a constitutional governor. He was most scrupulous to abstain from any action likely to be construed as an enforcement of the will of the executive upon his constitutional advisers. He and Lady Stanley did much In the quiet, unobstruslve English way to stimulate benevolent and charitable work In Canada. One notable permanent monument of their efforts In this respect Is tbe Lady Stanley Institute for trained nurses In Ottawa; but: their conception of practical charity was better illustrated by their frequent, unheralded visits to the hoineB qf the poor and afflicted. Their excellencies themselves carrying the baskets I containing delicacies for the sick, arid more substantial food for tbe "merbly poor." Aberdeen. John Campbell Gordon, P.C, G.C.M. G., K.T., etc., 7th Earl bf Aberdeen, who succeeded Lord Stanley, Is another of the leading British atatesmen of the day, and the successor of a descendant of a long line oil such. He had held various high public offices before coming to Canada, among them that of lord lieutenant of Ireland, a post of honor to which he vt$a again appointed in 1905, and which he still occupies. So wide and bewildering was the range of tlie personal activities of Lord and Lady Aberdeen (her excellency was a very potent factor during this regime), that It ia hopeless to try to enumerate them. jThey originated or fostered university and hospital extension schemes, a national plan to provide trained nurses for the sick, iroor, benevolent and j charitable projects in variety, philanthropic movements for the betterment of the condition of domestic servants and cowboys, etc. The activities of the existing agencies of mercy and benevolence were greatly stimulated, and several uew bodies of a charitable and sociological character organized. The Victorian Order of Nurses was organized as a national memorial of "The Good Queen's" Diamond Jtlbllee, while the National Council of ijvomen Is an organization designed to keep the various bodies directing the philanthropic work of Canadian Women In touch. Canada, as a whole, j Is certainly the better for the residence and work of Lord and Lady Aberdeen amongst us, and many in the "Underworld" have ■reason to be thankfjil for the work they did or inspired. Mlnto- Gilbert John Murray Kynynmond Elliott, G.C.M.G, 4th Earl of Minto, was already well known to Canadians when he came to the Dominion as governor general in succession! to the Earl of Aberdeen, having bei^n military «cre- tary to Lord Lansdowne, and also having, as Lord Melgund. participated tn the suppression of the: NorthweBt rebellion on the staff of Major General Sir Fred Middleton. Lorjd Minto's experience had been tbat I of a soldier and sportsman rather than that of a statesman, if we except the term of service on Lord Lansdowne'* i staff. Lord and Lady Minto were active and popular members of the very (highest and gayest social circles in England and Scotland, and their regime is recognized in Ottawa and by those: who go to the capital annually in connection with their parliamentary ajid other official duties, as the gayest] there has ever been at Rideau hall. The Present Governor General. Albert Henry Geofge, (4th Earl) Grey, G.C.M.G, G.C.V.O., etc., etc.. the present governor general of Canada, comes of another family which has euppHed many famous men to the public, life of the empire. The first Earl Grey was a general in the American revolutionary war and the second was the celebrated Charles Earl Grey, one of the distinguished statesmen of tho early part of the last century, whose name ts intimately associated with the passage of [the Reform bill. His excellency, who was horn November 28, 1851, and educated at Harrow and Cambridge, had [valuable experience In the administration of public affairs before coming to Canada. He was administrator of Rhodesia from 1896 to 1897 and has been a director ot the British South i Africa company since 1898. He was ford lieutenant of __■ Northumberland from 1899 until appointed governor general of Canada. Perhaps more than any governor general we have ever had his excellency has shown a desire to identify himself with the Canadian people, has verbally expressed" the wish to be considered and to be for the time being, not an official of the imperial government in Canada, but a Canadian. EYom the day his excellency lauded in Canada he has been untiring in his efforts to thoroughly acquaint himself with every condition existing in every part of Canada and with the sentiments of every section of the Canadian people. And this Information he does not seek for mere curiosity's sake but with a view of putting it to some practical use for the benefit of the country to which he has been assigned for duty as the personal representative of his sovereign. The circumstances connected with the expansion of the Quebec tercentenary idea into a magnificent Imperial and International pageant give us a fair notion of his excellency's enthusiastic and untiring nature, of his ability, and of his unconquerable determination. Lack or space has prevented more than a mere occasional passing notice being given to the wives and families of our governors general. Suffice It to say, in general terms, that Canada has been singularly fortunate in Its vice-reines and their families. All of the mistresses of, Government house have splendidly supported their husbands In maintaining their positions In the state and in advancing the Interests of the country. In many cases they have found active auxiliaries In the members of their families. The two hright and active daughters of the present governor general, the Ladies Sybil and Evelyn Grey have been, ever since they emerged from girlhood, the champions of every worthy cause that the ready brains and deft fingers of the gentler sex could assist, and the influence ot their presence at Government house has contributed not a little to the success of the present regime from a social point of view.

Rockefeller would go broke if he should spend his entire income trying to prepare a better medicine than Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy for diarrhoea, dysentery or bowel complaints.

LAMBERT <* CO. A FRUIT GROWING CENSUS. Mr. Beeston, secretary of the Board of Trade, lias sent out letters to all the fruit growing points in this territory,—from Kitchener to Midway and from the international boundary to the Needles.—asking for statistics as to the number of fruitgrowers, the acreage under cultivatiton, tlie age of trees set out, and other relevant information. It Is hardly necessary to dwell upon the great value—it is the necessity almost—of such statistics. Without such data, it is almost impossible to talte proper preliminary steps for the creation of proper shipping and marketing arrangements. These are things that cannot be evoked in a moment when required, by the wave of a magic wand; they must be planned in advance. Prospective settlers also are naturally anxious to know the stage of development that has been reached in any district where they are thinking of settling and hesitate to commit themselves without trustworthy and more or less official Information on the subject. Many other important considerations might also be mentioned. Whether or not tbe information is furnished by those to whom requests have been sent, is, of course, something which they will themselves decide. . They are perfectly free to decline to lend a hand. There Is no obligation upon them and no remuneration can be offered. Reliance must be placed entirely upon their public spirit, their good will and their willingness to go to a little personal trouble for the sake of rendering an Important service to the community. But we feel sure that these are things upon which reliance may with entire confidence be placed. AERIAL TORPEDOES. A startling development of the airship is a new torpedo of the air invented by Mr. Thomas Raymond Phillips, a consulting engineer of Liverpool. Sitting at a transmitter in London he claims to be able to control Its flight to almost any distance and in any direction and to recall it. This power Is demonstrated by means of a large model of a dirigible balloon before a> small audience in the London Hippodrome, but be maintains that the principle he employs is equally efficacious in the case of weight-carrying airships and aeroplanes. He has since been giving successful displays of his invention, but objection has been taken that another operator might Interfere with the control. Mr. Phillips has announced that the invention is at tbe disposal of the British war office, and its later history will be awaited with keen interest. A priori there seems to be no reason why aerial torpedoes should not be carried by battleships as submarine torpedoes are now, and employed against dirigibles or other air ships. Air ships and submarines are alike in one respect,—both are driven by propellers ju_t as Is an ordinary steamboat or gasoline launch. Torpedoes also are driven through the water by propellers and there is no apparent reason why they should not be driven through the air by the same means. They would, of Course, have to be affixed to small airships or equipped with planes, and as the currentB of the atmosphere are more variable than those of the sea, there would be certain difficulties to overcome. It is asserted that torpedoes can be steered through the water by means of wireless electric apparatus, and it so the same thing can probably be done with aerial torpedo_es. Evidently the aeronaut who sails over a hostile battleship, ready to drop a few explosives,' Is not to have things all his own way. In clear weather at least he is likely to see issuing from the battleship a torpedo steered from the deck and difficult to avoid. It will be built to travel at an extreme speed within the radius of Its action, and the agile aeronaut will have a lively time dodging two or three ot them at the same time. The modern battleship already carries about with it steam and electric launches, torpedo equipment, submarines, and a number of other things In addition to its armament of big guns. It is a sort of floating fortress containing an arsenal and dockyard. In future it Is likely to develop still further In the same direction. EDITORIAL NOTE. Rain has fallen in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Northern Alberta, and the condlttion of the crop in these districts—which include 95 per cent, of the wheat fields of the prairie—may be pronounced satisfactory at the present date. Southern Alberta's turn may come any day. The news will be received with lively satisfaction from one end of the Dominion to the other. Very satisfactory is the reply made by Sir Thomas Shaughnessy to the representations made hy the secretary of the Board of Trade with regard to the hastening of work on the Kootenay Lake hotel, It is, however, only what might be expected from a great corporation with the reputation of the C. P. R. for honorable dealing, in a mutter where its word has been pledged. ONTARIO'S FARMS ARE NOW BEING SUBDIVIDED An Ontario writer says: After all the talk we have been doing it is just possible that there is nothing the matter with Ontario. Ontario may be just passing through a crisis. It is a rich province and is steadily growing richer. Now, in the richest counties such as Middlesex, a change has commenced that may indicate the future of the province. The hundred acre superstition is breaking up. The time was when a man who had less than 100 acres even if he had it cleared from debt, was considered poor—a man who was trying to farm in cramped conditions. As soon as he could he would sell it, often at a loss and buy a 100 acre farm with a nice hand-welted mortgage on it. Then he could hold up his head In the community. In those brave days, before the passage of the McKinley bill, land in lots smaller than 100 acres sold at a sacrifice. Now. however, the smaller lots, when in decent condition, bring ihe best prices., There are townships like Caradoc were 25 acre farms are in the majority and the people are getting rich and richer. One man can just about work 25 acres properly. In some cases they specialize on fruits and gardening but In most cases they go in for mixed farming and do it with a profit. They work their land well, manure it well and get crops that would stagger the statisticians of the junior provinces. Ontario land is not the kind that a man can sow with the wind and reap with the whirlwind and then go to the mushroom capital and talk about having 18 .bushels to the acre. Ontario land is the hind that should be cultivated with a garden rake and when it comes to talking about crops, did not Mclntyre sing: "Fifty bushels to the acre Makes us grateful to our maker." It is true tbat here and there one strikes a little land baron (who owns three or four hundred acres or even a thousand acres, but that sort of thing is passing. If he has a family the land must be divided up among the children either before or after the death of the owner and if he has no family the land will eventually be sold in farm lots. Large holdings of land will not pay In Ontario unless they can be worked and tenants are practically unknown. I do not know of a single tenant farmer in this district. With the breaking up of the land Into small holdings Ontario will gradually become what nature intended it to be, a garden province raising fruits, vegetables and other luxuries for the big hurrying provinces'that are making so much haste to get rich. The small farm idea has a firm foothold in Niagara peninsula and It is spreading. There is hardly an acre anywhere in the province that Is not fitted for gardening or intensive farming and In time the Bmall farms will prevail everywhere. Then Instead of people asking 'What's the matter with Ontario they will be saying, "Just look at Ontario." ADVERTISING KOOTENAY.

Labadle to respond to any grandeur or beauty of Interpretation that concerns 'the welfare of humanity. This enables her to gain a great variety of expression. ln fact, she Is the splendid moving force that sets each character In motion and makes it throb with life and meaning. She 1b an artist of no ordinary attainments; honest and sincere In her work, and combining with these qualities a charm of personality that Is Irresistible. . Mme.

GIRLS SHOULD BE TRAINED IN HOUSEKEEPING DUTIES Report of Committee of National Association of Manufacturers in New York. NEW YORK, Way lS.-Jolin Klrby, Jr., of Dayton, Oliio, wan re-elected president of the National A association of Manufacturers today, and after three days of business the association finally adjourned. Tonight tlie annual banquet was held at the Waldrof Astoria. The association will meet in New York again next year. Training for Housekeeping. A bit of sentiment was Infused Into the closing hours of the convention by the adoption of the report of the committee^ on education. After dwelling on the necessity of adequate trade schools for boys, the report says of girls: "Since most women who are eng&ged In wage earning Industries, as well as others, are at least potentially wives and mothers, training for housekeeping and home management Is believed to be an essential part of all their education, whether 11 be Industrial or general, and this is a part that has been woefully neglected In our school system. It is therefore our duty to make special effort to bring domestic education to the front, and to do everything possible to place it on a higher plane. A high standard of skill and knowledge nf housekeeping In all Its branches and details is of such far reaching effect upon the Industrial future of any community that every effort should be made to shape public opinion toward a true appreciation of its Importance and dignity. "Women nnd girls are employed In mechanical occupations connected with nearly every industry In the land, and these occupations of women are not only affecting industry, but the standard of womanhood and tlie home. It Is therefore of the utmost importance that young ylrls who must work In shops and factories for a while shall be trained for occupations which do not prevent development or Incapaciate them for future mothers and home-makers."

H. WALLACE, 506 Baker Street $ white and vague In the semi-dark- ■ ness, apparently swathed in a bit of flimsy white material like a handkerchief that she was once noticed to carry with her. No materialization whatever appeared except when there j was reason to believe that the medium had her left hand free—Bhe Is left-handed—and every materialization was such as her left hand could procure. The Eerie freezes. "Then the breezes. Through all the foreign accounts these eerie breezes blow. Cold air under tbe table, a sudden blowing out of the curtain, etc., and, chief of all, the famous breeze 'from a scar above the forehead.' ' The curtain is flung out hy her arm and hand, and makes a breeze as It is flung. When It bulges out slightly, this is apparently done by her foot or hand. That far-famed breeze from above the brow on the left side came from the corner of her mouth. "These effects are produced in two ways. Having freed her left foot hy substitution, she raps It against the left leg oflhe table about three inches above the floor. The other way of producing raps Is n very old trick. One hand rests on the coiner of the table. The skin of one finger Is pressed against the table and then suddenly made to slip a fraction of an inch. This causes the sound. Raiting the Table. "The most baffling of all her wonders to us were tbe levltations. The table tilts lightly, first toward one side, then perhaps toward the other. These first tilts are plainly produced by her hands resting on the corners. Then suddenly tbe end of the table toward the medium rises; that is, only the legs at the other end of tbe table remain on the floor; then perhaps three legs come off the floor; then at last a 'grande levltaglone.' The observers saw her, when the attention of most was drawn away to the other end of the table, put her left hand on the corner of the table and press It down, On other occasions the thing is apparently done with her right hand and foot. But Eusapla seems to work on the left side when she can." FOR SALE AT A BARGAIN One One Horsepower Motor One Hall Horsepower Motor Can be inspected at any time. Apply THE DAILY NEW8 Nelson, B.C.

Miller, professor ot philosophy at Columbia university, has written the following account of investigations which he and a number of other professors made Into the weird .mysteries of Eusapla Palladlno, the famous Italian medium. , "The fullest publicity should be given, if possible, to the finding of the committee of American men of science in the case of Eusapla Palladlno. "The subtle Italian medium we have been studying is a kind of incarnation of Bpaclous evidence, a symbol of sophistry. Her art is to obtain credence under false pretences. She was -successful. Readers have hardly realized the serious interest tbat she haa sustained for nineteen years. Group After group have sat with her and published results. Imposing committees have issued elaborate reports In her favor. No other medium haa ever absorbed so much and so prolonged scientific attention. These learned patrons have inflated ber reputation and exalted her prices. Would Deceive If She Could. "As the caae stood ln January last, there had been no real progress regarding It since 1895. It was then proved In Cambridge, England (what had been suspected before) that Eusapla. would sometimes deceive the holders If she could, free a hand or a foot, and get It into the cabinet behind her. Last December this was once more confirmed by Mr. Edgar T. Scott of Philadelphia, who, at one of Mr. Carrington's seances, put his hand under the curtain Into tbe cabinet and came ln contact with her stockinged foot. After fifteen years it was time to take a step forward. ' Learned Professors In Curious Positions The investigators had four sittings with tbe Italian medium, Paladino, in the physical laboratory at Columbia university in January last. The investigators were: Charles L. Dana, M.D., professor of nervous diseases; William llallock, professor of physics; Dickinson S. Miller, professor of philosophy, Columbia; Frederick Peterson, M.D., professor of psychiatry; W.B. Pitkin, lecturer on philosophy; Augustus Trowbridge, professor of physics; Edmund B. Wilson, professor of biology; R. W. Wood, professor of physics. Pror. Trowbridge belongs to Princeton university, and Prof. Wood to Johns Hopkins. The other investigators belong to Columbia university. Pala- dinn was watched from a tiny window opened in the panels of tbe wall on the left, near the floor and near' her chair; from a large chest of drawers on her right, tbe lower drawers ot which were taken out, and from a hole in the top of the "cabinet" an Investigator, lying on a mattress on top of a high instrument case, also kept his eyes at the hole, awaiting the appearance of her arm or foot in the cabinet below. Finally, Bhe was watched from the space under the chair on the right and left sides of the table, the watchers having their eyes within about eight Inches of her feet. The Substitution Trick. "First of all, we made close observations of her extraordinary 'substitution trick.* I confess I was crestfallen when I discovered that this old ruse was still her grand strategy. She persuades the two holders on Iter right and left that they are holding two hands or two feet, when, in fact, they have hold of one at different points. With the feet it can be easily done, as the Teet of the holders and the medium are all together under a table a foot and a half wide. With the hands it Is done either on her lap as Bhe sits at the table or on the table under cover of the curtain, which often "blows out' over the table and remains there. Secret of the Weird Hands. "We found the secret of her 'materializations.' In all the previous reports, weird hands, heads and feet, which suddenly appeared in front of the curtain, had glfured plentifully. Again I I was crestfallen, These spiritual members, taking shape before our eyes, turned out to be the medium's hands. By close watching we repeatedly Baw her hand, which had slipped its holding, dart back toward the curtain. The hand appearing above her head was often strikingly like hers. Sometimes 'It was COLLECTION AGENCIES. N. CUTLEK-COLLECliONS OF ALL kinds. Returns promptly made. References given. Office Mil Waiter street, Nelson, B. C.

Now, to show my appreciation, 1 send you cheque for So fur a year's extension. Your Issue of last Sunday is especially Interesting. That prophecy of W. H. Seward, unci that address by Rev. Mr. Allen should be read hy every Canadian. There is a grand future before our country if we can secure true men for our leaders. Our greatest danger to graft in multifarious forms. The enemy most to be feared is the one in our midst. The public official who pilfers from the national wealth in any form or allows his political friends to do it, Is a traitor. The truth cannot be too often or too forcibly pointed out to the rlsint; generation. The thing I most admire In the more aristocratic government, of Grent Britain Is Its comparative freedom from Kraft as wc and our neighbors know It. I fear us that government becomes mure democratic the graft will creep in. S., W. NASH. Renata, B. (*., May Hi, 1910, Y. M. C. A—OR CIRCUS. To tlie Kdltor of The Daily News.
