LOSS OF 26 SEAMEN. ON FISHING SCHOONER
Halifax, N.S.-"The sea is strewn
with wreckage, but there is no sign'
of life." Such was the dread nness-
ag'eethat came through the air- when
the Canadian Government: ship Lady
Laurier had concluded her second day
of search over the waste of waters
lying _around Sable Island for the
crew of the wrecked Lunenburg fish-
ing schooner Sylvia Mother. What
little say of hope had flickered in the
hearts of men and women irn Lunen -
burg County throughout the day had
gone entirely out when night came
and there was no word frolmthe great
void of waters that held within it the
mystery of life and death,
From all the countryside round
about Lunenburg, where these twenty-
six men had lived, and where their
families are now amid the sorrowof
their great loss, word came that hope
had given way to that spirit of.cour-
ageous resignation so characteristic
of ,men who .:go down'to .the sea :in
ships. In 'these little vi'leages` busi-
ness is at a stand -still. 'These have
been days•and nights of fear and hope
alternating in eager watchfulness-

so great has- been the shock. of the
news of the disaster -and the numb-
ing ache of hopes dispelled. '
Warden Romkey telephoned from
La Have there is new no hope that
any of the men were saved. "Wel

inevitable, The oldest fishermen)
here, men of years of experience of
the .sea,say there is nothing to do.
but meat the situation. Businese'is

people,: Le Have Island' had suffered
the Mest, because nearly: half of the
crew of •the,'Mosher were from that
part of ' the county. What makes the
loss so poignant is the realization
that the best and brightest of our
youth aro gone."
The feeling in Lunenburg Town,
where Captain Mosher, •,the skipper
of the Sylvia Mosher, lived and where'
his wife and little daughter are watch-
ing amid dying hope and increasing
despair, is that nothing further wvill
be heard of the crew of the schooner,

land as well •as any one living in Lun-
enburg, as having stated that he be-

when she struck there was no way

Jewels of Pocketless Romans

cient Romans is daily the cause for
thankfulness among the excavators of

theatre at Caerleon, Monmouthshire,

Five links of a small bronze chain

PeObe Alcohol Poisoning t O tkvi!le
JURY FINDS DEATH
FROM 'POISON- LIQUOR
Inquest Held .on victim of
Allanburg Tragedy -North-
ern Fatality Result of
Poison.
Welland, Ont. -That Reuben Upper,
the first of the three victims of the
wood alcohol poisoning at Allanburg,
came to his death through acute alco-
hoiism was the verdict returned at
the coroner's inquest. The jury was
unable, however, to determine the
source of the supply.
Of the seven arrested in connec-
tion with the affair, and who are be
ing held on the charge of mans -laugh
ter, only one was mentioned, and he
is Nick Ricci, the Thorold taxi driver.
Several witnesses claimed that Ricci
was a frequent visitor to the Upper
residence, and that he at times de-
livered a parcel, the contents of which
was unknown.
North Bay, Ont, -Testimony given
at the inquest opened at Port Loring
into the deaths of Mr. and M-rs. Geo.
Carey tended to show: that they died
from the effects of poison liquor
brought into the North by a party of
Buffalo tourists, headed by Dr. Bayer,
a Buffalo dentist, and given to Carey
by thein as a bonus for his services
as 'cook on a fishing,trip. Dr. Smylie,
of Parry Sound, who conducted an
autopsy on the bodies, testified at the
inquest that death in both, cases was
due to alcoholic poisoning. Joseph
Kane, Mrs. Hutchins and Miss Hut-
chins, relatives of the Careys, are all
ill from drinigzng the liquor, but are
expected to recover.
It was brought out at the inquest
that following the fishing trip one
bottle of liquor was given Carey by
the tourists. Carey opened the bot-
tle last Saturday and took a number
'o£ drinks, giving one to his wife.

They brought with •thhm cash and ef-

a million dollars. These settlers were
almost entirely from the States of
North .Dakota and Minnesota, and
were destined to Manitoba; Saeleatche-

Ontario. They are practical farmers,
attracted` by the advantages which
Canada offers to. agriculturists.. Forty
of these families made the trip to their

Epsom's $6 -Year -Old •
Grandstand is Doomed
Epsom's'raceeourse, where the world
famous Derby has been run annually
since 1780, is to lose its ninety -six-
year-old grandstand after this year's
race on June 2. The old gaud, which
holds only 6,000 persons, is to be re
placed by one accommodating 20,000.
While plans 'have been drawn for the
new stand, a movement has been start
ed to make the structure the largest
and finest in; the world.
It is pointed out that the Fleming-

Wesleyan Conference Denies
Women Admission to Pulpit
London: --British women wbo still
are unable to sit in, the House of Lords
have been hoping soon to stand in
Wesleyan pulpits. The representative
session of the Wesleyan conference
had approved the proposal to admit
women to the ministry,' but the
superior pastoral session decided, like
the lords, that feminine competition
was undesirable.
Despite the argument that the
church needed women ministers as
much as the women wanted an outlet
for their eloquence, a large majority
of the session accepted the view of an
anti -feminist pastor who "stood by the
New. Testament and common sense."

Natural Resources Bulletin.
An interesting development in the
utilization of wood waste is the re-
cent establishment - of a Canadian
plant for the production of insulating
lumber made from sawdust, coarse
fibre screenings from pulp mills, shay -
Ings and mill waste.,
In the process of manufacture the
wood waste is thoroughly reduced to
fibrous pulp in disintegrators. The
pulp is then cooked in digesters to re-
move wood juices and resins, the
fibres freed from excess moisture,
waterproofed and forced into a solid
board under enormous pressure by
hydraulic machinery. The board is
final'Iy prepared for the market by
baking for several hours in steam
-heated Idlns. This iumber is used
for insulation, sound deadening and
in some cases acoustical correction
and is usually sold in large sheets
which may be sawn and nailed like
ordinary lumber.
For certain purposes in building
construction it may be used to replace
lumber and lath, releasing an equal
amount of lumber for other purposes
and thus enables a 25 per cent, great-
er utilization to be made of the tim-
ber out. Over four million feet of this
"man made" lumber was used in the
Canadian Building at Webley.
.A. noteworthy and practical ex-
ample in forest conservation is thus
afforded in the production of this use-
ful material which is made entirely
from wood waste. As •pointed out by
the Natural Resources Intelligence
Service, at this time of the year, when
forest fires are ruthlessly eating in-
to our timber reserves it is somewhat
comforting to feel that industrial
science is accomplishing something to
curb that second great destructive
agent of our forests --waste.
