Douglas Seeley, had a oornplenient of 28 men. The British Submarines of the H class were all built under the war eniergency program, most of them in . the years 1918-19. They are of the single hull "Holland" type, modified by the A:clininalty, 164% to 171 feet long and: 15% feet beam. They displace frern 440 to 500 tons, and are equip- ped with two sots of Diesel engines, giving a speed of 13 knots on the surface, and carrying four torpedo tubes. Their ordinary complement is 22 men. A despatch from Gibraltar was read ' in the House of Commons, announcing that a court of inquiry had, lo,een order- ed to meet on Friday to examine- into the sinking of the submarine H-42 in the Mediteranean. . Details of the disaster shorw that the submarine 'came to the surface thirty or forty yards ahead of the destroyer Versatile, which, srbeausing at twenty knots, rammed the sub- marine at nisaht angles in the region of the conning tower.

So far, as ;the result of Can- adian restrictio!ns," the movement is only about 25 per cent. of the pre-war. fi,gures. : It is scarcely likely that any de- cision that the Canadian "GoVirnment . .„ may reach on an inianigration policy to fit in with the Imperial migration bill, which is to be introdueed in the British Parliament this year will be taken in time to affect the present season's emigration movement.

Toronto Pirofessor Goes to Edinburgh. , To rec,eive it very high compliment and to sruffer at the same time a very severe loss was ±10 fortune of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Tbranto, last week -swarm Dr, 'B. H Watsona Professor of Obstetrics and Gpmecoatogy, accepted, the offer ex- tended to him by the University of Edinburgh to fill the chair in Medicine in that University. :This is the His- toric post made famous by the late Stir James Young Simpson, and to be one of his .successors ie a high honor indeed. Professor Watson, Who has been on the staff of the provincial -uni- versity for ben years, is a graduate of the University of Edinburgh. He states that the new system recently inaugurated in the Toronto Faculty of Medicine has greatly enhancel the'al- ready excellent reputation of this Faculty- albs -load and ,that the universi- ties of Great Britain have watched, the suecess of this experiment with a great deal of interest. • Because of the excellent work Prolessbr Watson has done here and becaus,e of his intimate knowledge of the "full-time systern" for medical instruction, lis alma meters has called him to the highest medical position in her gift. This would appear to be a rather co/winc- ing enclorsation of the system now in force in the medical faculty of the university or larcinto. Another evi- „ dence of the high regard in Which the staff of this faeu/ty is held is the fact that Dr. J. G. Fitsgerald, Professor of Hygiene and Director of the Con- naught Antitoxin Laboratory, has been "borrowed" for next year by the University of C,aliforrnia. • The bee must visit. 3,360,000 flower tubes in order to get one pound of honey. n.tritscrammummwtemeareri • Youvz o LvEtz., (ov CA $om --Tb-Toxe. -rro WEAKEN fhey are expected to) 'build model forms'and ,a•griciPtural o , for t Russian) peasants: Winnipeg, Mano,--Durargt 1921 and the first part Of 1922:ManitOba cream-, eries secured the fellbwing esvarris: Three proirineiral eliampionships„ 20 firsts, 34 e,econdS, 18 thirds, 9 ioti-a-ths; 13 fifths, 9 sixth,s15 s,e'Ventilts,)f'silicr"cir cup, 3 golds 2 ,sil-ver and it bronse rn,ecials, ere reserve r'iblione and two g'3•.ki 'Watches,.
