O SSA$ ° O S WIND STORM
60 -Mile Gale Causes Great Havoc-Buidings in Many
Cities Blown Down, Tr ees Uprooted, Car Lines
Tied Up F or flours.
Toronto, Dec, 1, -Toronto was swept,
'by a windstorm, the fury of which has
seldom been equalled' here, at a little
past eight o'clock on Stitui day night.
It was heralded by the failure of
the electric lights. Just short of 8
o'clock in the residential districts the
street cars came to a ,stop. Within a
few minutes the street lights -faded.!
out. They came on again shortly, and
hardly had they begun to glow when
the storm came in all its fury.
,• The wind snapped trees like
matches, 'blowing dead on from the
south, and blew the rain before it ,in
sheets. It tore the roofs off houses
end factories; it left line upon line of
fallen fences; telegraph and telephone
wires, caught by the failing trees,
came down in the diresttonfusion. In
homes near the lake the inhabitants
felt their abodes rock like a ship upon
a stormy sea. Away out on the lake
the water leaped in mountains, and
the well -sheltered bay Was too rough
for navigation. Above all, in the dark
clouds a 'mysterious blue-green sheet
of light came and went, fast and yet
. 'too ,slow for, lightning, and added to
the terrors of a fearful might.
One death resulted from the storm,
George Dowson being killed on On-
tario street by a falling tree.
At half past 8 the machine for as-
certainheg the velocity of the wind at
the storm signal station showed the
gale raging at the rate of 78 miles an
hour. This is a record for Toronto.
Later in the evening the wind veered
round to the west, and in the opinion
of some the change of direction saved
Toronto from a still worse 'storm.
Although, according to the Meteor-
ological Office, the wind storm on Sat-
urday night was not the worst Toronto
has experienced, it reached a velocity
of 60 miles an hour here. In Buffalo,
with which the Meteorological Office
was unable to establish communication
until 10 o'clock. last ,night, the wind
reached a velocity of 80 utiles an hour.
In Toledo it was 68 miles an hour, and
in Windsor 56 miles an hour. •It is be-
lieved that in other points nearer the
centre of the storm the velocity was
greater than in any of the towns men-
tioned, 'but owing to the incomplete-'
ness of its reports the Meteorological
Office could net make any 'definite
statement hi this connection to -night.
The disturbance was first noted in
the Lower Mississippi Valley on Fri-
day night, and was caused by the exis-
tence of an area of low pressure there.
It was not until late Friday night that
it slidwed signs of gathering strength,
but its development was rapid, and on
Saturday it commenced to move in a
north-easterly , direction; gathering
strength on the way. It crossed over
Lake Michigan and Georgian Bay,
with the centre of the storm passing in
the vicinity of the Soo.
London, tint:, Nov. 30. -Cyclonic
gales of.,. a velocity estimated at (30
miles an lions swept London and dis-
trict for three hours last night, wreck-
ing, unroofing or sweeping chimneys
from !buildings, uprooting trees,
smashing windows and causing dam-
age that will run high in the thou-
sands of dollars. To -night it is still
almost impossible to communicate
with outside places by either telephone
or telegraph, but reports, particularly
from the territory south' of London,
are that damage is everywhere quite
heavy,
Detroit, Nov..80.-As far as can
be learned at this point and at Port
Huron, at the south end 'of Lake
Huron, no boats were lost during the
storm. The White Star Line steamer
Wauloeta, from this port, believed lost
last night with 256 passengers; sought
shelter' from the storm and reached
Port Huron this morning. The steamer
W. E. White reached here to -night
from Buffalo and reported no shipping
in difficulty. Reports from Lake
Huron points are meagre b'ecanee of
demoralized conditions.
Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., Nov. 30. -
Though a wild storm has been .raging
over Lake Superior since yesterday
no reports had been received of any
accident on the lake up to 6 o'clock,
neither the Canadian Ship Canal nor
the American Ship Canal having heard
of any damage. The only vessel which
has passed through here to -day was
the steamer Utley, which was down -
bound, and had a rough passage over
Lake Superior. The wireless station
here has no reports of any trouble.

London, Nov. 30.-A party of 62
girls and women sailed, from Glasgow
on the Pretorian yesterday. All of
them had been selected strictly in ac-
cordance with the Canadian Govern-
ment regulations. All were eager to
exchange the stale old world for a life,
of freedom in the households of
Ontario.
Five `conducted parties of about the
same strength will sail for Canada

third may be reclaimed. Sectors where
hard battles raged are said to have
250 tons of iron to every 2% acres.
The wonderful improvements in

have 'been due mainly to two things:
The introduction of grasses and
clover, and the invention of labor-

SOMALILAND BACK
TO BRITISH RULE
Reverted to Barbarism During
Great War.
A despatch from London says :-The
loss and reconquest of that thankless
tract of scrub desert called British
Somaliland, on the southern shore of
the Gulf of. Aden is one of the un-
written pages of the great war. When
the Camel Corps was withdrawn from
Somaliland and sent doom to take a
;share in the German Bast African
campaign, the outlying regions of the
protectorate reverted to barbarism.
This was the only part of the Bri-
tish Empire lost in the war. Sixty-
eight thousand square miles just slip-
ped out of the Empire and nobody
noticed it.
Among the gallant band now re-
covering it, yard by yard, Is a young
officer named Ransome, who was one
of the army of four Britishers which
invaded German East Africa -two days
after the war was declared and fired
the bush along a hundred miles of
border.
The Germans saw pillars of smoke
and ,ima'gim ed a great army and feared
to attack.' 1Vleanwhile British rein-
forcements arrived and the country
was saved from butchery by one of
Ransome's companions, armed with a
sporting gun, made for shooting hum-
ming birds without disturbing the
plumage.

L H. CLARKE NEW
LIEUT.-GOVERNOR
Chairman of Toronto, Harbor
Commission Succeeds
Sir J. Hendrie.
A despatch from Ottawa says: -Mr.
Lionel H. Clarke, Chairman of the To -
route Harbor Commission, has been
appointed Lieutenant -Governor of On-
tario in place of Sir John Iiendrie,
whose term of office has expired. He
will take over the duties as soon as he
is sworn in by the Governor-General.
Lionel H. Clarke, Ontario's Lieuten-
ant -Governor -to -be, is well known in
the business world, but to the public
generally he has not heretofore been
in the limelight. He was born in
Guelph and educated at Trinity Col-
lege at Port Hope, being an Anglican
in religion.
About thirty years ago Mr. Clarke
came to Toronto, and he has been
active in the grain business. He is
President of the Canadian Malting Co.,
Ltd., and up until the Dominion Gov-
ernment appointed the Wheat Board,
Mr. Clarke was a member of the Board
of Grain Supervisors.
Mr. Clarke in recent years has giv-
en considerable of his time to muni-
cipal affairs, although he never sought
the suffrage of the people in any civic
office. For one year he was Presi-
dent of the Toronto Board of Trade.
He was also for a time the city's rep-
resentative on the York County 'Good
Roads' Commission. He was also a
Member of the Canadian Niagara
Falls Park Commission.
When the Toronto Harbor Commis-
sion was organized seven years ago,
Mr, Clarke was 'appointed Chairman,
which position he has occupied up to
this present time. Under .his adminis-
tration millions of dollars have been
spent in carrying out the harbor im-
provements, which will give a water-
front unexcelled on the Great Lakes,
Wild Beasts In ladle.
Tigers killed no fewer than 1,000
persons in India last year; wolves
and bears accounted for 338; leop.
ards for 326; and crocodiles and al-
ligators for 194. Snakes headed the
list with 22,600 victims.

can never forget it, nor can I express
the whole of my deep gratitude for the
open-hearted welcome which my Cana-
dian , comrades in arms and all my
Canadian fellow -countrymen and Ivo
men have given me."The foregoing is
from a farewell message from his
Royal Highness the Prince of Wales,
which has been received by his Excel-

Thi massage follows:

"The Renown is weighing anchor,

BRINGING UP FATHER
Good.
Recent studies have convinced the
'
dairy experts that most of the trouble
with milk is due to imperfectly
cleansed utensils.
A milk pail or can is thoroughly
washed; it looks perfectly clean. Nev-
ertheless, around the edge of the bot-
tom (inside) a little residue of milk
remains. If water be put into the re-
ceptacle and shaken about, twenty-
four hours later, microscopic examina-
tion 'will Show it to be full of bacteria.
If new milk be put into the can
imperfectly cleansed, there is already
a' bacterial culture present to infest,,,
it, the germs rapidly multiplying in
the fresh supply.
To get rid of this trouble for the
milk farmer, the dairy division of the
U.S. Department of Agriculture has
invented a simple sterlizing apparatus
that can be cheaply made at home. A
small boiler produces steam that is
emitted through a short vertical pipe,
over which the can or pail may be in-
verted. In a few moments the recep-
tacle Is rendered bacterially clean.
For sterlizing separator parts, can
covers and small utensils, a bottom-
less sheet -iron box is placed over the
steam pipe. The articles are put into
the box and the latter is :covered with
a lid.
Wealth Under the Ocean.
Slate is a burrowing animal. In the
pursuit of wealth he will even burrow '
under the sea.
The most valuable iron 'mines in
Nova Scotia are beneath the ocean.
There are outcroppings of the oreheds
on shore, and the miners follow them
far out as they dip down under the
sea -floor.
It might be asked, how do they pre•
vent the sea -floor from caving in upon
them? No trouble, at all about that.
Enough of the irn-bearing material
is left untouched to serve as pillars,'
upholding the roof.
Elsewhere on the coast 'of Nova
Scotiacoal is mined in the same way,
under the sea, It is an excellent quali-
ty of bituminous coal.
On the coast of Cornwall, in Eng-

Good.
Recent studies have convinced the
'
dairy experts that most of the trouble
with milk is due to imperfectly
cleansed utensils.
A milk pail or can is thoroughly
washed; it looks perfectly clean. Nev-
ertheless, around the edge of the bot-
tom (inside) a little residue of milk
remains. If water be put into the re-
ceptacle and shaken about, twenty-
four hours later, microscopic examina-
tion 'will Show it to be full of bacteria.
If new milk be put into the can
imperfectly cleansed, there is already
a' bacterial culture present to infest,,,
it, the germs rapidly multiplying in
the fresh supply.
To get rid of this trouble for the
milk farmer, the dairy division of the
U.S. Department of Agriculture has
invented a simple sterlizing apparatus
that can be cheaply made at home. A
small boiler produces steam that is
emitted through a short vertical pipe,
over which the can or pail may be in-
verted. In a few moments the recep-
tacle Is rendered bacterially clean.
For sterlizing separator parts, can
covers and small utensils, a bottom-
less sheet -iron box is placed over the
steam pipe. The articles are put into
the box and the latter is :covered with
a lid.
Wealth Under the Ocean.
Slate is a burrowing animal. In the
pursuit of wealth he will even burrow '
under the sea.
The most valuable iron 'mines in
Nova Scotia are beneath the ocean.
There are outcroppings of the oreheds
on shore, and the miners follow them
far out as they dip down under the
sea -floor.
It might be asked, how do they pre•
vent the sea -floor from caving in upon
them? No trouble, at all about that.
Enough of the irn-bearing material
is left untouched to serve as pillars,'
upholding the roof.
Elsewhere on the coast 'of Nova
Scotiacoal is mined in the same way,
under the sea, It is an excellent quali-
ty of bituminous coal.
On the coast of Cornwall, in Eng-
land, mining is done for tin beneath
the ocean, the lodes being• followed
out from shore. The bottom is of
solid granite, nod tho workmen can
actually hear the Boulders rolling
about over their heads, as the storms -
waves drive .tilom about:
In one case a vein extraordinarily .
rick in tin was found at extreme low
water in a patch of. rock, A bulkhead
was built around the rock, and a shaft
sunk, large quantities of precious ore
being taken out before, a storm wiped
out the works.
In California, at Summerland, may
lie seen the strange spectacle of oil,
derricks far out In the sea. They are
getting petroleum from beneath the
ocean floor, following out the oil-bear-
ing strata.

monds now off the coast of what was
