Telegraphic Briefs From Our Own and Other ('nuntries of Recent Extents. CANADA. A STREAM OF LAVA. Flowing Down the Side of a Mexi- can Volcano. A despatch from Mexico City says: Another earthquake occur- red in the vicinity of Colima on Tuesday. A violent eruption of the volcano followed the quake. A ridge of lava about a. mute long is streaming down ono side of the volcano. No fatalities have result- ed so far as known. The region affected is barren. Tho famous oil well, known as the Dos Bocas, which for months shot a column of flames and smoke into the lair for many hundreds of feet, has turn- ed into a geyser, and fears are en- tertained that eventually the well, which for so long has furnished a grand spectacle of the powers of nature, may become an active vol- cano. The first evidences of this were made apparent on Tuesday, when, in addition to the great volume of boiling water which is lifted heavenward at the rate of 25,000 gallons each twenty-four hours, a large quantity of volcanic stone was thrown out. THE MILITIA ('.IMPS. Sumpter Drill velli be Held This roar, as Usual. 410 A despatch from Ottawa says: - The fear expressed in sante quar- ters that the cutting down of the militia estimates this year by $340,- 000 on the item fur annual drill, us compared with the expenditure for the same purpose last year, means a curtailment of the num- ber of men to be drilled in the an- nual camps next summer, is not borne out by the facts. The de- crease in the item is duo to the fact that this year there will not be the expense of a military dis- play involved in t•he Quebec Ter- centenary Inst year. For 1906-07 the whole militia force was drilled for $650.000. and in 1903-6 for $600,000. This year the appropri- ateel is $860,000, which will be ample for all requirements. 1N ARMY 01' THE; EMPIRE.

Reason Why the Guillotine Was Introduced Into France. The titular author of the guillo- tine—an appliance recently again dragged into the light of day—has suffered a fate by no moans uncom- mon. Regarded with horror, Dr. Joseph-lgnace Guillotin was in reality a philanthropist deserving of the highest respect, says the W'estminste'r Gazette. Born at Saintes in Poitou in 1738, of hard working, austere, middle class stock. and educated at the Jesuit. College of Bordeaux, he be- gan life as a professor under the same roof. Determining later to study medicine Tic brilliantly passed the necessary examinations in Paris, for a time practising at Reims, afterward with his wife re- turning to the capital. By Paris, indeed, he was named depute of the Tiers Etat on the outbreak of the Revolution, lis forst measures in the Assemblee Constituante being hygienic. He forthwith brought about the better ventilation and cleanliness of the building and, when coldaweather set in the in- stallation of heating apparatus. • Tho doctor did not stop here. Horror-stricken at the slow tortures of the death penalty inflicted upon the non -privileged classes, decapita- tion being allowed only in the case of the noblesse, on December 1, 1789, ho proposed the absolute equality of punishments. The mo- tion was adopted, and breakings on the wheel and similar atrocities be- came things of the past. But the warty I'oitevin doctor did not in- vent the machine fastened to his name and four years later put to such fearful use. in after years—he quietly prac- tised his - profession Qill 1814—the very step he had ttakcn for human- ity's salve haunted him like a night- mare. SCOTT'S BURIAL PLACE. Ambrose Lepine Says He Will Never Reveal the `pot. A despatch from Winnipeg says: Considerable interest has been aroused by a story printed a few days ago by a Winnipeg paper that Ambrose Lepino, the ex -officer of the paper republic, who command- ed the firing squad which executed Thomas Scott during the Red River rebellion, had approached several persons in connection with revealing the spot where Scott was buried. On Thursday Lepine pt$'- lished the following letter:—"My attention was called to an article just published to the effect that I would be willing to disclose the spot where the body of the late Thomas Scott lies, upon a mone- tary consideration. 1 wish to state that many times I have been ap- proached on this subject, and I have always refused to betray that sdcret. I have never offered to do so upon any consideration. I wish to add that, although I am a poor man, yet, I feel that I must keep that secret forever, and it is perfectly useless to approach ma on the subject." 4. DENIED HIS GUILT. Last Words of Stephen Swyryda Before Hanging. A despatch from Brampton says: Stephen Swyryda, Galician, was hanged on Thursday morning in the jail yard hero at 8 o'clock. At 8.12 the jail physician, Dr. D. Reg- gie, pronounced the man dead. Swyrydi's last words were utter- ed in the corridor after his hands had been manacled behind his back and after he had bidden farewell to his confessors and. others. They were: "Please, people, I no guil- ty. I may be guilty before people, but not before God." At 8.30 the body was placed in •a coffin and viewed by Coroner Lawson's jury, who afterwards returned the cus- tomary verdict. The body was in- terred later •,n in a grave dug in the north corner of the jail yard. BRICK THROUGH WINDOW. Throe Cold Watches Stolen 1•'rom Winnipeg Stare. ANOTHER GiFT FOR M'GILL.
