The discovery of the remains was made by William Twells, who at once notified the police authorities, and the body was brought to the Coopers Undertaking parlor, where it is now being held pending Uie arrival from Saskatchewan of the young man's father, who is expected here on Saturday night. ' Jillans had been working for George O. Brown at the Alpine Inn during the past summer. Last week he drew his wages and went to Nelson, but returned to Grand Porks in a few days, apparently "broke." On Saturday he started to walk to Cascade. That was the last seen of him alive. As no one saw the accident, the manner ln which he met his death Is mere conjecture. But it is generally supposed that he became tired and laid down on the track and fell asleep, being run over by a C P A train between Saturday night and Monday morning. Coroner Truax held an Inquest on the remains on Tuesday, the Jury returning a verdict of accidental death, Definite arrangements for the funeral will not be made until the arrival of the young man's father from Bastotchewan.

FRUIT GROWERS WILL MEET IN VANCOUVER IN JANUARY Members of the British ..Columbia Fruit Growers* association will convene at Hotel Vancouver In Vancouver January 29 to 31, it was decided on Tuesday by the ekecntlve, which met at the University of British Columbia. During the executive meeting, members of the governing body met W. Sanford Evans of Winnipeg, special Investigator appointed by the provincial government to report on Uie fruii Industry. They explained to Mr. Evans their Ideas and policies. HA8 ORAVE D^UBTS^^ ^ CHICAGO.—Dr. Charles Mayo of Rochester, Minn., in a luncheon address, said "miracle cures" would remain cured as long as they continued objects of public wonder. "We still have with us the age of miracles and superstition/' he said. "In Massachusets at this time thousands of people are daUy vWttag the grove of a young ecclesiastic who died sixty years ago. Those who visit tne Wave believe it is Just as effective for cure of one disease as another. There will always be apparent cures of this type, because many persons with uncontrolled emotions only think they are sick. They throw away crutches1 or canes or .smoked glasses: While they are objects-of. wonder they will remain better, but when .they have to go to work again, their disabilities return. Regarding Heredity as a foremost fac tor in health, Dr. Mava declared the diseases most dangeeoiu to a man are those of which his parents died. "Knowing this," he said, "il he has a short expectancy he can prolong his life. If he has a good inheritance he can destroy it by lack of care of his health. Our control of health would be to find out our tendency to disease at an early enough period to prevent or delay its action." „„.wv. ,., .

Consequently a new high record for valuation has been established. The figure of $18,650,210 compares with the previous record of $17,784,494 in 1916 when the average price of copper was 27.202 cents per pound. The report in a further brief reference to this subject continues: During recent years the two large operating companies have gradually lowered costs and increased capacities, and now that a good price ls received for copper metals these companies are making satisfactory profits. The improved price fom copper also makes possible the mining of lower grade ore. There are several copper properties in the province whioh are develiped to a considerable extent, but which are not yet productive. The »trength in the copper metal market should hasten production from some of these properties and also stimulate development of unproven copper properties. Lead Production Higher An Increase of 1.3 per cent in the production of lead for 1929 as compared with 1928 is recorded. Thus the production of this metal also tas reached a new high point, and the Sullivan mine, ConsoUdated Mining and smelting Company of Canada, is lareelv responsible. The average lead W?r - «*™*is* Kg cents a pouidd, as compared with 4.575 cents, and the outlook for increased production, while excellent from the viewpoint of the mines, can not be expected to expand until prices strengthen.. _ ,_, Deduced Zine Output - There were sliafot decreases in quantity of production and the value of the zinc output, for which there was an average price of 6.417 cento a pound, 'which compares with 5.49.. cents a 'pound for 1928. The report adds, "towards the close of the year, however, the price declined coneldreably, and the present price of approximately 4.4 cents a pound (London) makes the production of zinc concentrates unprofitable for many mines. N No expansion of zinc mining and production in the province can be expected until the price of the metal improves. Structural Production As to structural materiads, the belief la expressed that the output in value which wily go into production In 1930. New Independent Mills Construction of a small flotation concentrator was completed at the Silver Cup, near Hazelton, and production commenced. A 30-ton cyanide plant was constructed and production commenced at the Reno, Nelson mining division. The new concentrator and hydroelectric power plant at the Cork Province, Ainsworth mining division, was completed during the year and pro- ductioncommenced. Late In Uie fall this plant was closed down. Review of Metal Prices Metal prices are discussed by the provincial mineralogist, who points out 'that possibly this is the most important feature of the mining situation a!, the present time. Sliver, lead and zinc prices recently 'have declined materially, while copper still is holding firm at 18 cents, The decline ln the price of the first-named metals to some extent is causing curtailment of production. Silver starting the year at 57 cents an ounce is down to 4914 cents an ounce. Copper averaging 16.603 cents a pound at the beginning of the year rose to an average of 21.257 cents in March and then declined to the present fixed rate of 17.775 cents a pound. Lead has stood at an average for the year (December estimated) of 5.059 cents a pound as compared with 4.764 in 1928. Zinc has averaged 6.417 a pound os against 5.432 cents a pound last year. As to the two latter metals, this does not tell the whole story, as recently these prices havo sagged considerably. Present prices are about 4,66 cents a pound for lead and 4.4 cents for zinc. .Lead is therefore down to the average level of 1928 and zinc a cent a pound lower, or 23 per cent. Prospects for Copper In considering the future of copped it is explained that expert opinion ls not unanimous regarding the trend of copper metal prices. The price has been stabilized at 18 cents by the Copper Export Association, and nv balancing supply and deaiand this association expects to keep the price stabilized. That price may not be 18 cents, but at least lt is not at all likely to return to the relatively unprofitable levels of a year ago. It can safely be predicted that the future of copper mining is on a firm basis and that the price of copper metal will probably be maintained at a level profitable to copper mining in British Columbia. . lie question thqn of increased production from the existing silver-lead- zinc mines of the province in 1930 is almost entirely dependent on the trend of the prices of these metals. The statistical position of lead is sound and barring a serious recession in world business, the price of lead is more likely to advance than decline. Zinc is in an unfortunate position, with much overproduction. A great deal of this is really by-product output which is produced regardless of price, Penticton Gets Lower Power Rate PENTICTON, Dec. 26.—The West Kootenay Power company has announced to the Pentlcton council its willingness to reduce the power rate to the municipality along the lines suggested by the council. This rate reduction, from three cents per k.w.h. to two cents, has been sought by the coun cilfor the past year or so, ever since Kelowna was able to obtain it. The company had previously interposed the objection that Penticton did not have a separate power feeder and the company's head office ofli cials were unwilling to accept munici pal readings as indicated by bills which the municipality sent to its own power consumers. The company also pro posed that before any reduction was given, the municipality file with it some statement showing what reduction lt ln turn Intended to pass on to the consumers. Both of these proposals have now been abandoned by the company, which is granting a two-cent rate for power without reservation except that the rate is not to apply to small out lying motors, A conference between Lome Camp bell and E. E. Gibson of the company and the members of the council was held here recently, anfl, subsequent to that, a letter of confirmation was received by Uie municipal clerk. The new two-cent rate for power was made retroactnve so as tl apply at the first of December. The com pany will accept the municipality's readings. This new rate has no reference whatever to light current but ls merely given ln order to permit the municipality to establish lower powed iates lor the benefit of Ind'HCty. The question ot light rate reduc tlon as a purely municipal cut will probably come up later. It ls hardly likely that domestic light rates will be affected, although commercial lignt users are hoping for some benefits It Is understood that Uie nunipal'.ty contemplates providing a power feeder line some time next year and expects to establish a power area north of Eckhardt, west of Van Home and east of Winnipeg, for which special rates will be created. The present power rate here ls five cents for the first 100 k.w.h., four cents for the next 400 and three cents for all over that amount. Kelowna is said to be negotiating with the company for a special rate of half a cent per k.w.h. for cold storage plants. Penticton expects if such a rate is provided in Kelowna it will also be made operative here, which would undoubtedly be of great bene fit to the Penticton Cooperative, which ls finding the present cost of juice for cold storage somewhat of a burden, tlie Cooperative ls now planning to double its cold storage space and will presumably therefore need more current next year.

Some of them are still in use to the amazement of engineers, while others stand ln broken majesty, the result of earthquakes or of purposed human destruction, for the delight and wonder of all beholders. The two bridges which lead from the Forum side of Rome to the island ln the Tiber and on the Trastevere, or St. Peter's side, were built ln the second century B.

The fine bridge across the Tiber, north of Rome, built to carry the Pla- mlnlan way northward, ls another good example of a bridge more than 2000 years old, which has seen steady and hard use and still appears as good as ever.

AN unusual looking chain, four inches long, with a locket at its end, was found by a workman employed by ths Edmonton (England) Urban District council while digging a trench in road making. Thinking it was only a child's trinket, the man sold it for five cents to a companion, who in his turn sold it to a laborer. The laborer has now received an offer of $100 for the chain and locket, and It is to be submitted to ekperts for ekamination. Under a microscope the chain was discovered to be of bronze and gold, and tho locket was revealed to be a double coffin containing two miniature human skeletons, exquisitely carved. At Uie other end of the chain ls a medallion engraved with a Roman crest. Near the spot where this locket was found a Roman collin weighing a ton was discovered a few months ago. THE mouth ls a photograph of the disposition. Some one has said that we are not responsible for the disposition we are born with but we are responsible for the one we die with. It Is the same with the mouth. The sweetness and issableness and dearness of a baby's mouth are not dependent on the shape or size. Baby's mouth is sweet because his soul is sweet. No brand of lipstick nor any artist ln its use can camouflage a sour mouth and make even a casual observer believe lt is sweet. Then there ls the eye which the contents of the vanity case cannot change. The eye is the window of 'the soul. You can bugf, ^something that will lengthen the fringe on the curtains to your soul-windows you can change the cut of the lambrequins above but you can't keep people from looking in sometimes unless you pull the shades down altogether and put yourself in darkness. No vanity case not- even a whole drug store or beauty shop can make attractive the windows out of which looks a quarrelsome envious soul. Keep sweet within if you want to get full value from your vanity case. BILLY MULDOON—before he gained fame as a champion wrestler and trainer of John L. Sullivan for his epic fight with Jake Kilrain—was once a New York city policeman. And thereby hangs this tale, told by Edward Van Every in his book about "The Solid Man of Sport." Mul- doon was patrolling his beat one day when several excited citizen reported to him that murder was being done in a nearby house. Hurrying to the scene, Muldoon heard groans emanating from a room, the door of which was locked. Forcing an entrance, 1-e found on the floor in a welter of blood, a young negress, to all appearances fatally wounded. Muldoon bent down and asked: "Can you tell me who did this?" "Yas, sah," came the faint answer, "A friend of mine." SIXTY-TWO per cent of the population of the world, ten years of age and over are illiterate. Of a total population of 1363900000 the total number of illiterates is 850- 500000. These remarkable figures were obtained through a comprehensive study of illiteracy in the various countries of the world conducted by James P. Abel specialist in foreign education. In this work Mr. Abel was assisted by Norman Bond statistical assistant. While only 18 countries report, an illiteracy rate of more than 50 per cent, the population of these countries is approximately 613- 000000. Contrasted with this is the total of 468000000 in habitants of all the 45 countries reporting less than 50 per cent illiteracy. The United States ls included ln the group having under 10 per cent, of illiteracy. Porto Rico and the Philippine islands however have a much larger percentage. Porto Rico reports 55 per cent and the Philippines 50,8 per cent. rprtEODORE BURTON, who died in his senate harness the X Jfher day, belonged ti that galaxy of ministers" sons w';3 have ;jluyed such an important part in American j ublic life from ilie earliest day.r ol the re while. A classical scholar, he was wont to quote Lati and Greek phrases ln his public addrescs. When he returned to Cleveland from Washington, to make the fight against Tom Johnson for mayor, he accepted the Republican nomination, exclanmlng: "Jacta est aleal" (the die Is cast). It proved to be an unfortunate phrase for him. The opposition took lt up and rung the changes on lt to the delight of the man ln overalls and Jumper. It lent Itself readily to slapstick Jests of the politician, and many believed lt cost him the mayoralty, A majority of Cleveland voters regarded him as too highbrow for mayor and voted for the single taxer, Tom Johnson, with his three-cent carfare platform. TN THE early days of Capo colony a wretched Hottentot * was sentenced at Worcester to be hanged for the crime of sheep stealing. As the sentence was about to be carried out the rope broke, and the thief fell to the ground uncon- skiovcy, While in this state a messenger galloped to the Jail gate demanding admittance. He proved to be none other than an officer bearing a letter of reprieve for the doomed man. When the prisoner came around, he tried to rise from the ground, and was then informed that the sentence would not be carried out.This information did not seem to Impress him greatly as he began to fumble about In his uockets, evidently looking for something hat he missed. Suddenly he fished from out his ragged receptacle some bits of wood, at which he gazed with rueful eyes. Then he said: "Ek het goed scweet lets verkecrt was.

High-heeled shoes, he said, distribute the weight of the body in such manner that certain parts of the foot tend to atrophy; thus In tha future women's feet will become "a large mass of bones with a few little appendages as toes." And if this should come to pass lt would be far from an unmixed calamity. Women without toes would certainly ge more wear out of silk stockings, as they would have no toe nails to make holes ln the toes, and right there would be a saving for the average family of about $6 a week. But whether lt will come to pass is ektremely doubtful, Dr, Lake is probably an excellent chiropodist, but only an indifferent biologist. The laws of biology being what they are, no matter how many women wear high-heeled shoes or in other ways mistreat their feet), their children will be born with ten perfect toes, each liking to bb tickled, each, form ing a separate) bead in My Mother's Rosary. To suppose otherwise is to run squarely against the facts of acquired characteristics, which are that no case has ever been discovered where the offspring inherited characteristics acquired by the parent. No matter how many legs a soldier has shot off in the war, his litUe boy always has two. This is the rock on which the evolutionary hypothesis has so far pounded Itself to pieces; for while it ls quite easy to see how an ape could los his tail ln the course of an active, simian life, it is very hard to see how he could transmit the loss of that tail to his son, and thus father a man. So things look very bad for the race of toeless women, and. the price of silk will probably remain high for * long tlmei to come. It is interesting, though, to learn that Uie English foot doctors have remained chiropodists, instead of becoming pediatrists, as have their American colleagues.—New York World.

POEMS FROM THE FAR EAST ARABIA I've bent at Fortune's shrine too long- Too oft she heard my suppliant tongue— Too oft has mock'd my idle prayers, While fools and knaves engross'd her cares, Awake for them, asleep to me, Heedless of worth she scorn'd each plea, Ah I had her eyes, more just survey'd The dlff'rent claims which each dlsplay'd, Those eyes from partial fondness free Had slept to them, and wak'd for me, But, 'midst my sorrows and my tolls, Hope ever sooth'd my breast with smiles; Her hand remv'd each gathering ill, And oped life's closing prospects still. Yet spite of all her friendly art The specious scene ne'er gain'd my heart; I lov'd It not altho' the day Met my approach, and cheer'd my way; I loath it now the hours recreat, And fly me with reverted feet. —Abou Ismael Altogral.

' Straight handle and curving blade gleam for miles through the darkness, and In the distance the Jewels rise higher and higher until they seem to join Uie stars of heaven, causing one ' wonder where earth ends and sky Twelve Pilot Types From New Rules Out of the distance to the left comes the fine boulevard through Vina del Mar, Chile's summer residential dream land; Its lights formed the sickle handle. Along he arc of the shore creeps the boulevard and the connecting downtown streets; heir lights outlining the curving blade. At distances of from one to six blocks from the beach high bluffs rise, their precipitous faces lupled by small houses anchored lously to the rocks, and their ,'hto crowned with the more preten- us structures of the older reslden- dlstrlct; the lights along the rock and walkways of cliffslde and ht and in the myriad windows of tutting houses were those that seem- to sing with th stars of the night. "Valpo," as the city is called down Chile way, much ofter our fashion of Shortening Philadelphia into "Philly" has reminded many travelers of other cities. The late Ford Bryce, great tr- Vfeler that he was, found it recalling Ihanlsh and Italian municipalities which glitter on the cliff-bound shores ot the Mediterranean, particularly re-j sspibling Messina in being very long; and extremely narrow with tbe cliffs leaving nothing but a few blocks be-i tween their bases and the shore. Other: people have likened lt to Trebizond on the Black see. I Here and there steep paths and rock' hewn stairs lead up deep gullies that comedown from the heights to the littoral, but. with few exceptions they are too steep for aught but the feet of men and beasts. I Up the Cliffs by Elevators In the main communication between the business district below and the old residential district above is by elevator and ascendor, of which there are a dozen or so. The main business streets run close: to the foot of the rocky bluffs, and it ls rather a strikng experience to be walking along with fine banks and stores on either side, and then sudden- , ly come to a cross street that becomes' a stair winding its way up the cliff, or ending at an elevator which rises perpendicularly up the face of the n ituro.1 wall. Toward Uie boundaries of the old city, there ls ore bifurcated ravine through which trolley cars reach to points-on the heights. . The houses of Uie vell-to-do on the bluffe are surrounded by narrow, winding, sweets and one seldom sees a vehicle here. The market folk find their way wound with panniered donkeys and horses. The view of the harbor from the balconies of the cliff dwellers is a striking sight. Scores of ocean vessels, ride at anchor, hundreds of small craft < ply here and there, and one gets a bird's eye view of the busy scenes around the wharves along Uie water- fron streetst, and in business district. Trolleys and Busses The transportation problem in Valparaiso ls not as acute as in most cities. The heavy hauling is done on streets near the water front, and there ia litUe use for carriages or automobiles in the business district. The ly given over to trolley cars and busses. Most of tbe conductors on the cars are women, and a serious-minded, not- too-prepossessing lot they-are. There.are a great many busses, and one wonders how the trolly lines can live at Uie rate of fare the municipality fixes and with the competition they have to meet. The busses are double- decked and the fare is equivalent toU cents oh top and double that below. On the streets which parallel the main thoroughfare on th e shoreward side, one sees much of native trans- portaUon. Trains of donkeys, with slim bodies hung about with almost every article, Come and go. Some are loaded with wine casks, others with sacks of nour or cementf and still others with long pieces of iron, with furniture, and even perambulators. Boadrs 16 to 20 feet long.are slung over the'sides of the animals, sticking out many feet both fore and aft. The Chileans have a way of making almost anything accommodate itself to packsaddle transportation, z Sharing Uie street with'the pack- saddle are strings of carts, drawn in the fashion of the country—one horse hitched between the shafts, and at lot left • eiwnd one, saddled, and attached to the sart by means of a breast! collar and single rope trac> with Uie free enAjet he breast strap fastened to the saddle. Its main duty ls to carry the man'who drives the cart. The single trace'enables lt to help out the horse in tte shafts on steep grades or ln heavy .mud. Lovely Vina del Mar The life which ebbs and flows down town and on the heights of valpariaso may be picturesque and distincUve, but the rati thrills are reserved for those who go to Its Vina del Mar in summer. Playing Uie dual role of an AtianUc Oity and a fashionable suburb, ibis community is one vast flower garden five miles long, climbing from the .seashore to the heights.

The present regulations, however, legalize the really dangerous situation in this somewhat extreme example and outlaw the one that ought to be perfectly safe. I The old regulations were by no' means perfect on the score of who may fly what types of planes, but with a little revision they might have been made to serve as well or better than the complicated and confusing multiple-license system with which they have been supplanted. BOTTLE GAS Bottled gas ls refined and compressed from the vapor that rises from oil wells that are in production and even from wells that have been pumped dry. It Is "bottled" under the form of a low-pressure liquid which on being released resumes Its gaseous form and burns in a gas jet. This casing head gas, as lt is known among oil men, is a rich natural gas. It. is compressed, refined and the liquid stored ln steel bottles or drums which are strong enough to withstand the low pressure of the semi-liquid gas. By ERWIN GREEK President Greer College Confusion and dissatisfaction galore bid fair to come out of department of Commerce's most recent regulations- Just now beginning to be enforced—on the licensing of airplane pilots and the various classifications into which they are henceforth to be divided. Those in authority have succeeded ln turning a system that was simple Into ono appearing to be fraught with complications and red tape. Pilots who pride themselves on keeping abreast of their profession apparently will be towed down in the future by a multiplicity of licenses. A careful perusal of the new regulations reveals nothing at all to prevenr the veriest landsman of a transport pilot (provided he stay within the trick confines of his dozen or so licenses) from taking up 'pay passengers' ln a seaplane W flying boat, though he may ..ever have flown one before in his lift, save for "practice flights ln such type for at least one-half hour, including ten landings, three of which must have been to a full stop.* "Transport pilots," the new regulations say, "may pilot any type of licensed aircraft other than in those types and within tbe classes specified in their licenses." And lt ls made painfully clear that unless a pilot's license shows him qua! lfied for any one of heee twelve types and he happens to be so indiscreet as to take it up with pay passengers he ls not only liable to lose his ticket but "shall be subject to a civil penalty of $500." For it ls fairly/apparent, even to the non-flying man ln the street that there must be more of a gap, and consequently a greater chance of acoident between operating an unaccustomed water-andlng airplane and a 3,500 If you carve your name on the hearts of your friends it wlll be more lasting than on a marble slab. AGE OF SUPERSTITION It is said that during the sixteenth century a Swiss naturalist and physician of the name of Thurmeysser kept some scorpions in a bottle of olive oil and that these insects were feared by the people as diabolical beasts. This physician presented an elk to his native city, Bassel, Switzerland, but tbe people of the city regarded the. elk as a devil in disguise, "and a pious old woman finally rid the town of the dreaded beast by feeding lt with an apple stuck full of broken needles, IT DIDN'T WORK A cable customer who wanted to send bis message at a saving in cost resorted to the following words: "Asktosee th atletterit explains." This in his home-made code. What he intended to convey to the recipient was: "Ask to see that letter, it explains." The camouflaged message, had lt not, been detected tn time by our eagle-eyed counter clerk, would have gone through at a cost of 60 cents; in plain, unadulterated lan guage the seven words would have amounted to $1.40.
