Would-be Assassin • •
of Queen Victoria Dies
A despatch from London says :--
Roderick McLean, who • attempted to
shoot- Queen Victoria on Marsh 2,
1882, and was subsequently incarcer-
ated as a. dangerous lunatic, has just
died at Broadmoor Asylum.
The 'attempted murder of the Queen
occttnred et Windsor following the ar-
rival of the Royal train conveying the
Queen, Princess Beatrice and the
Court from London, The Queen hod
just walked across the platform of the
Windsor station-, to the carriage -am
waiting when McLean, who was stand-
ing among a number of spectators, de-
liberately fined a, revolver at her.
The shot massed and the Queen was
at once driven to the Castle,
A Much Smaller Object. ,
She was a stranger to London, and
was traveling from Brixton to the inn
known as the Elephant and Castle.
All the way sire bothered the passen-
gers on either side of her with in-
quiries whether she was nearing her
destination. Finally, getting really
anxious, she reached over and de-
liberatoly'poked the conductor with
her umbrella,
"Tell me, my man," she said, "Tell
me, is this the Elephant and Castle?"
"No, ma'am, it isn't" sharply re-
plied the man, "It's the conductor,"

BRITISH TAKE A
HAND IN SILESIA
New Policy Will Succeed in
Speedily Liquidating the
Civil War. .
A dospatch from Rosenberg, B•rit-
ish Front, Upper Silesia, says:—The
recently arrived "hard-boiled" Britirh i
General, Henniker, and the new Brit-
ish Plebiscite Commissioner, Sir Har-
old Stewart, are beginning to make
themselves decisively felt. The British
have at last discovered a rough, cam -
mon -seise• technique fez handling the
Upper Stlesi•an dlilemma andthey have
begun putting it into practice with
the result that. the tension already
shows signs of relaxing.
There is a justified hope that the
slew British policy will succeed in
liquidating the Upper Silesian civil
war Cpeodily.
The technique consists essentially
in Brutish troops walking up to a po-
sition of the insurgents and telling
thein in a few unmistakable words to
clear out. At the Same time the Ger-
man irregular forces ane bold un-
mistakibly not to advance. The ter-
ritory thus cleared of insurgent Poles
and kept clear of German irregulars,,
is called a "neutral so•ne," As fast as;
it is cleared, German plebiscite police
under he command of British officers,!
are moved in and preserve law and
order, and the iubced German and;
Polish populace rejoices and goes to!;
work again, and everybody is happy'
Coal and Oil in the, Far
North,
Tlao foot that the escia at the earth
,is tipped .so far from the verticals--
about twenty-three and one-Miit des
green --is. responsible for the �iete�nee
oil climatic zones and especially iloa
the prolonged cold and darkness of
the Arctic whiter. Dot the axis has
net ahvays tipped at that angle;
through lout; periiods the oac'th hoe
spun round ill a position that made
the axis much rowervertical. During
those periods the climate was much
more nearly uniform all over the
ea'r'th, esnd the vegetation at tho polos
was. not greatly . unlike that in the
trapies,
It is hard for us to imagine such a
condition of affairs, but there is plenty
of evidence that It really existed, Ono
of the most inteiues•ting discoveries
monde by explorers in the far north
is that of great coal seams freely ex-
posed in the rooks of the seashore.
The country that.now lies under sev-
eral thousand fent .of ice and avow,
and that reproduces for as to -day the
aspect that..all the northern countries
of_ the globe preos'ssted during the
great glacial ages, Was once warm
'and equable in climate and covered
with the luxuriant growth of 'tree
ferns that was the distinguishing
characteristic of the Carboniferous
period.
Northern Greenland above the
seventy-eighth parallel has a very
moderate snowfall. Most of. the mois-
ture is precipitated farther south, and
so the rocks along the northet'n coast
are not covered as they are in lower
latitudes with a load of ice. In those
rocks Dr. Maclbiil'lan, the•explorer, has
seen coal seams ten and even fifteen
feet in thickness, so easily urine:l that
the Eskimos can pick the Gaal out
with their rude implements. The dif-
ficulties of getting to the region, the
inconveniences of living there and the
still greater difficulties of getting any
cargoes away brake those great coal
Beds of 110 present commercial value;
but it is interesting to know that they
exist.
There is reason to believe, too, that
in the barren and inclement region
to the southeast of Hudson's Bay
there are great fields of oil. The
country is almost unexplored, but
there are Indian reports of oil oozing
freely from the soil in several places.
That means, of course, that the land,
now so inhospitable and sterile, was
once abundantly supplied with life,
either marine or terrestrial, It ie by
no means unlikely that it will, become
in the not distant future one ca the
chief sources of petroleum.

U.S. CROPS WILL BE
SMALLER THIS YEAR
Estimated 88,000,000 Bush-
els Short of 1920 Harvest.
A despatch from Washington(
says: A crop of 2496,000,000 bushels
wheat, oats, rye and barley is fore -
coat by the Government report for
June. This is 88,000,000 bushels less
then last year's harvest, but sug-
gests good yields, : rand might be'ens;
larged should present prospects main-
tain through till harvest, which is
already under way in winter wheat in,
Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.
There is a promise of 678,000,000
bushel's of winter and 251,000,000
bushels of spring wheat, a total of
829,000,000 'bushels. while the crop,
last year was 787,000,000 'bushes. f
Winter wheat estimates of 578,000,
000'bushels show a loss of 61,000,000
bushels from the May returns. This
was attributed to numerous frosts late
in April and oar* in May, and to
drought in the South-west where the
bulk of the losses have occurred,

THE ROUGH ROAD
The Background of Success.
In a week or two thousands of On-
tario .boys end• girls will fin's?. their
primary 'reboot work. Other thousand's
of young .inen and women will com-
plete high school courses, while hun-
dreds have just graduated from col-
leges and universities.
A very large percentage. oa these
will be country boys arid. girls who
have little in the way of mato,'ta: re-
sources with which to begin their life
work and no influettiel "cots Iectione"
through wbi'eh they ran secure a lu-
crative position, or who would help to
finance Client in any business under-
taking of their own• Too often they
aro inclined to look upon this situation
as a handicap, as compared wi1.h the
more fortunate acquaintances who
may have both of these seemingly im-
portant advantages:,
.But as a matter 'of fact, the aver-
age farm boy or girl has a business
asset which is of far greater impor-
tence •in the race for material success
than the seeming advantages of fin-
(luence or affluence which they too
often envy others. The nature of this
advantage was happily expressed by
the manager of a large business enter-
prise who, gave his reason for favor-
ing farm boys amen applicants for
jobs in his business as follows: "They
go to college with a background of
hard work. They expect to work
when they get out and they want the
college training so they can work
effectively."
There is food for profitable thought
by young and ,old in' this expression
of an exper'ieneed and successful busi-
ness meat. The boy or girl who real-
izes the fact that the more education
he gets the more efficiently he can
work, will not be stopped by any ordi-
nary hanclieap from getting a -good
education. Also tho young man or
wonnut who realize that a background
of hard work is the best preparation
for future •success will not.be envious
of the apparoat preferment of the
favored eons of those in -high places.
For after all has been said, true suc-
cess must be based on real achieve-
ment, and We is always tho rosnit
of hard and intelligent effort,
The truth of thio statement is
abundantly proven by tato large per-
centage of successful men and women
in every walk of life who aero farm
boys and girls. Their example should
be an inspiration to every country boy
and girl to get the best school train-
ing pos'sib'le, whether they expect to
enter a prefo:oicn, become bseines.,
Wren or follow their father's footsteps
no farmers.. .A good education will be
their 'best asset in any calling. With
hard work as a background to insure
perseverance and a good education as
a training to aid in the evaluation and
application of ideas, the country boy
or girl hait the best passible equipment
for success in life. These are assets
out of all preportion,j_n value. as .com-
pared with unearned: preferment or

Old Customs Greet Prince
. in Scilly.
From the rocks of England's most
southern ramparts, from the Scilly .Is-
lands, one of the most ancient posses-
sions of his Dukedom cf Cornwall, the
Prince of Wales has returned to Lon•
dent.
FIne weather enabled the Prince to
visit nearly all of the numerous is-
lands that William the Conqueror. an-
nexed to the then Earldom of Corn-
wall, which be bestowed •on his broth-
er Robert. The Prince witnessed some
of the strangest historical customs, ri-
valling even his experiences In the
Fiji Islands when he toured the em-
pire.
Launceston, the capital of the
Duchy, revived at the castle gate the
old manorial court. Tho Prince then
received tho rents from bis tenants,
many giving goods instead of cash.
The latter included a hound of pep-
per, gildedspurs, a goatskin mantle,
a salmon spear, a fagot of wood and
a pair of hounds: When the Prince'
arrived an the Islands the total popu-
lation of 2,000 men, women and child-
ren turned out led by a burly farmer
on a white horse. The Prince went
with the children picking flowers,
and played as if he were. one of
them.

Old Roman Road Discovered.
Discovery has ben made iu Eng-
land of another old Montan road hith-
erto unknown. :Workmen who were
digging manholes on the Alton road
where the latter joins the roar's to
Bentley and Bordon, near Farnham,
Surrey, unearthed; five feet below the
surface, part of what appears to be an
old Roman road that ran from London
to Manchester, The road was in an
excelleat state o•1 preservation, the
surface layer being a foot in thickness
and composed of filets, In order to
penetrate the surface tate workmen
had .lo use drills .and steel wedges.
Research bias demonstrated that, not
only the Romans used bituminous
materials, including asphalt, but the
ancient Sumerians, Persians, Babylon-
ians, Greelts and Egyptians as well,
The road discovered in England, ac-
cording to engineers, was. capable of
parrying traffic heavier titan any to
which modern toads are now put.
