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. MINERS MUST RESUME WORK Persons5 Violating Injunction Cited For Contempt. • Indianapolis, Nov, 30. --Coal mast be mined 'and every miner, operator or any other person who has acquired l.-nowiedge of the temporary injunc- tion and 'who thereafter violates its terms, will be cited for contempt to- day, declared Dan W. Simms, special Assistant Visited 'States District At- torney. Mr. Simms issued a statement of _warning to all. It has been indicated here that if• the miners do not return •to work after the posting of notices by the operators that the mines will - be operated in compliance with the decision of the Government, many men will be brought before .Tudge A. B. Anderson in Federal Court here next week to face a charge of contempt. Mr. 'Simms said that every officer and miner connected with the United Mine Workers of America has full knowledge of the terms and provisions of the temporary injunction, and that • every local has received a copy of the withdrawal order cancelling the strike. "Coal will be produced, and every miner, operator, or any other person who has_ acquired knowledge of the temporary injunction and Who there- after si 1 ¢ ; its terms will be cited for contempt," the statement says. "In. addition to this," it continues, "all Tier -1 sow, whether minces or operators, I{ whose. r.0ct` bring them I , o. e acts cf cai.l wkthkn the inhibitory terms of the• Lever Act will be prosecuted." • • Tlie Ceveenmeat else is having elii'-ff fins -ay with the rri"ne operators it is! x understood, and prosoeutieuee of the operators are in prospect unless they comply "fully with the Government's ortiersi it was indicated, The post -card is 49 years old ,in Britain. Big Radio Depot For Vancouver, R.C. New York; Nov. 30, The Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company of Can- ada will build in the vicinity of Van- couver, B.C.; a powerful radio depot. The station; which will cost $2,000,000, will handle commercial business be- tween Canada and the Orient. A eta-. tion of like power and cost will, of course, be built in Japan. Negotiations are being carried on, with the Governments of Canada and Japan for licenses to construct and' operate the two stations necessary to' establish direct conraunication across' the Pacific. ---- British Girls Sail For Canada 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 during December. Winter weather will not deter' these enthusiasts, who have likewiseundertaken to go to any part of Canada Plymouth Elects Lady Astor. A despatch from London says: - Lady Astor has been elected to Par- liament to succeed her husband, the new Viscount Astor, by 6,000 majority. "Everybody is capable of 'Leing.con- vinced by common •sense," said Lady Astor, "Mine was a campaign of coronion sense." Her husband's majority in the elec- tion last year was nearly 12,000, which shows a loss to 'her sex of nearly 7,000. The vote stood: Lady Astor (Union- ist), 14,495;'W. T. Gay (Labor), 9,292; Isaac Foot (Liberal), 4,189. ummvmnmmm,•.cuaan.m71.913 wa-4,maa1sn: The only kind of striking needed just now. Weekly Market Report Breadstuffs.

Marie„ Ont., 'says: -After nearly a Week's patrol of the north and south shores of Lake Superior and Whitefish Bay, searching parties were successful on Friday in picking up five bodies above Salt Point, in Whitefish Bay, from the ill-fated steamer Myron. The re- mains arrived here Friday night: No word has been. received as to their identity. War area in Northern France and Belgium is estimaten to contain 3; 000,000.tons of copper, of which one- 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 farming made' in the last 250 years have 'been due mainly to two things: The introduction of grasses and clover, and the invention of labor- saving machinery. CANADIAN GOVERNM ENT MERCHANT MARINE FLEET OF 23 SHIPS Completed Before End of 1910 Unless Severe Weather Hinders Consta'uction. of Many Large Steel Vessels Now Under Way in Dominion Ship Yards. A despatch' from `Ottawa says: - Unless severe weather • upsets the present expectations, the Canadian Government Merchant Marine Fleet will number twenty-three vessels be- fore the end of the present year, ac- cording to Mr. Alex, Johnson, Deputy Minister of Marine. It is hoped that sufficient vessels to bring the total to the above number will have been de- livered before the endof: next month. The Canadian Navigator, a steel vessel of 4,360 tons, built by the Cana- dian Vickers yards at Montreal, has been completed, made her trial trip and handed over to the Government. The Canadian Spinner, an 8,350 -ton steel ship, will have her trial trip and be delivered before the end of next week, it is expected. She will, after being handed over, Ieave Montreal either-' for Halifax er St. John, to load for South American ports. An instance of rapid shipbuilding work has been accomplished by the Vickers works in the case of the Cana - .r ENGLAND.

The Canadian Railer, under construction at the Wal- lace Shipyards, Vancouver, is expected to' be complete and handed over before the end of the year, melting the twenty-third vessel of the Canadian Government Merchant Fleet in com- mission. 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. Princess Mary akes Debut In Speech at Public Function p A despatch from London says:- Princess ays: Princess Mary 'made her:debut as a speaker at a public function on Thurs- day night, the occasion being a fare- well rally of the Women's Land Army, which is being disbanded.

The women and girls present wore their wartuniforms and later were entertained at a supper and concert. They gave the Princess a hearty wel- come. 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. PRINCE OF WALES' - F ARE 'ELL �'HIS FELLOW -CANADIANS S�ESSA,eE TO A despatch from Ottawa says: -"I 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- lency the Governor-General. Thi massage follows: Renown, Barrington Passage. "The Renown is weighing anchor, 1711 and I feel that my first visit to' Canada is really at^'an end. I can never forget it, nor can I express the whole of my deep gratitude for the open heortod welcome which my Canadian comrades in arms and all my Canadian fellow - countrymen and , women have given me. "Will you please convey this mes- sage of thanks, most inadequate t i • RobertBorden and though it be, a pit the whole' Dominion Government, whose care. and hospitality through- out my visit have been so generous and so kind. The last four maaths will influence the whole of my life and I shall never he happy if many months elapse without a visit to my Thome en this side of the Atlantic. "My best wishes to all the people of Canada till we meat again. (Signed) "Edward P." n.g mac m y,a 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- 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. Lliey aro even dredging for dia- monds now off the coast of what was German Southwest Africa, and. very suoceelGully. Approved Wooden House Now Occupied in England A despatch 'from London says: -The first wooden house approved by the Ministry of Health is noir occupied in N'orwic,h, It took a month in build- ing and cost Glu pounds sterling, three tines the pre-war priee.

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. Lliey aro even dredging for dia- monds now off the coast of what was German Southwest Africa, and. very suoceelGully.
