All rights outside the Dominion of Canada, however, belong to Mr. Dickson, the patentee. "There are numerous deposits of peat in Canada, and still more wideepread are the deposits of decayed vegetate matter other than sphagnum; every county, if not every township, con- tains them, varying in .depth from a foot to even forty or more feet. Ex- cellent fuel results in either case. "The works of the Parent Compauy are located at the Welland bog—about 4,000 acres in extent—and here they have also a plant for bailing peat moss -which covers its entire area, and which, in the case of most other sphpg- num deposits has been burnt off the surface. The moss is shipped to New York for litter. It is capable of being used for the nianufactuee of paper stock, carpets and almost any textile fabric, as will be seen by reference to the article in the Scientific American of San. 7th, entitled 'Remarkable Uses of Peat.' The products obtained by distillation are both varied and com- mercially valuable. Another excellent deposit of decayed sphagnwn is the Ellice marsh, north of Stratford, Ont., which is the site for the principal op- erations of the proposed Iluron Dis- trict Peat Company.'4 Working !tight and Day.

McKillar, Ont., March 27e—On Sat- urday evening John Batley, who runs a sawmill in this village accompanied by two of his employes, went down to the mouth of the Segein River to take the stop Jogs out of Manitowauba dam and thus lower the water level, so as to enable it to rim the mill properly. Batley had succeeded in removing two logs, and was engaged on the third when he slipped into the water jus above the dam, and the force of the current shot him through the slide and he was seen no more by those who accompanied him, The body was no recovered until evening. Suicide at St. Marys. St. Marys, March 27.—Sunday even- ing the church -going people of St. Marys were greatly shocked as it was whispered around from pew to pew that during the still hours of the after- noon a terrible tragedy had been ere acted at the home of the late Frank Anderson, e wealthy retired farmer, who up to about a -year ago had lived on Ontario street south, the victim be- ing Miss Maggie Anderson, who judg- ing from her surroundings when the body was found, had deliberately tak- en her own life by cutting her throat with a razor. It appears that since the death of her father, Miss Anderson had lived alone with a nephew and neice. The children attended Sunday school in the afternoon and on returning home found the door locked. They communicated the unusual Ohmura - stances to some neighbors and about six o'clock the door was forced and search made for Miss Anderson. ViThen found she was lying on the floor in an upstairs room and presented a most shocking sight. In her right hand was firmly clasped a razor, while a pool of blood on the floor anda gaping wound at her throat told the story of a terri- ble tragedy. Dr. J. II. Mathison was hastily summoned, but the body was already deeth. The undertak- er Was called in and given directions to prepare the remains for burial, the doctor evidently considering an in- quest quite unnecessary. Miss Ander- son was about 64 years of age and was esteemed by a wide circle of acquaint- ances as an exemplary women. What, led her to commit such a rash act is not definitely known, but trouble over money matters is strongly supposed to have been at the bottom of it. Miss Anderson was observes] to be acthig somewhat, strangely for several days. She had donned a gold chain and made deliberate preparation. The estate ( f the deceased is eetirnated at between $12,000 end $20,000, Fantastic Foe Plates.

How well the matter then was diag- nosed was shown by us the other day. when a dealer called attention to a wheel which is of a lemons make anti ranks among the highest in the mark- et. It has all the improvements and advantages that are known to the bicycle maker, and is guaranteed fox' several years, tind yet this model ma- chine is placed on the market at $40. Another type of the same machine, quite as good for actual service, but not quite so highly fini.shecr, is offered for $25. This latter machine sold for e85 two years ago. and the first men- tioned at $125. They are better than the earlier ones in every way. 'What magnificent profit the bicycle maim - fettering companies xnust have had. No Wonder new factories came inf.() being by scores and hundreds until the business was overdone and prices forced down to their present level. Makers of bicycles in the U.S. have arranged the details for the formation of a trade pool that will involve capi- tal to the amount of $50,000,000. It is understood that ten of the leading makers of wheels have entered the combination. No change in the bi- cycle business for the present year is unutemplated, but next year each mantitheturer's product will be mar- keted through trust depots, eliminat- ing the middle men's profit. • Mr. John Hurley, a farmer living near Windsor, who was visiting friends at Glencoe, was found Wednesday night hi his heather's stable about two miles from Glencoe, with a bullet hole in his head.
