Account of Daring Adventure Found Historical Research Worker Makes Find 'in British Museum Paris.—From the sere pages of a crumbling yellow book in the British Museum, Stella, Cleaver -Cox, wefl- iniown historical and- archaeological research worker, believes she' has re- constructed the daring adventure of 'prince Madoc, of England, and his band of Welshmen who, as early as 1170, journeYed across the sea to a land. believed to be near the Gulf of • Mexico. According to the version she found, • Prince Madoc, son of Owen, Prince of Wales, and brother of Prince David, set forth on his explorations to seek quiet retreat from the turmoils of his time. Having a large fortune; he 'ga- thered. adventurous spirits about him and sailed for new lands about which he had vaguely hoard. After a long sail be reached a new country which he so vividly described as to leave of intensive operations, and. to coun- teract this .situation the Departnamt of Marino and Fisheries, through its Fish Cultural Service, operates a num- ber of fish hatcheries hinted at stra- tegic points across Canada` from the Atlantio to the Pacifie. From these establishments annual distributions.of fish egg, fry, • and fingerlings aro matte with a view to assisting nature in maintaining the produCtiveness of the inland waters. During the fiscal .year, 1927, the Dominion .Fish Cultural Service oper- ated 24 main fish hatcheries, 7 subsi- diary hatcheries, and four salmon re tabling ponds. These were maitained in all the provinces in ivhich the Do- minion Government administers the fisheries, namely, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta'and British Columbia. Ontario and Que- bec administer their fisheries and oper- ate their own fish cultural services. The 1927 distribution from the Fed- eral hatcheries 'reached a total of 295,- 283,782 fry, advanced fry, and finger- ling's. This distribution included the more valuable food and game fishes, such as Atlantic salmon, rainbow trout, cut-throat trout, steelhead sal- mon, Kamloops trout, Loch Leven trout, brown trout, sockeye salmon, spring salmon, speckled trout, white- fish, salmon trout, and pickerel. The largest distributions were of white- fish, sockeye salmon, Atlantic salmon, and pickerel, in the Oe•der named. In addition to the distributions that were made from the hatcheries, thirty- frie lakes and streams received allot- ments of fry and older fish from other bodies of water. This work was large- ly confined to the .Prairie Provinces, where many districts are not readily accessible to existing hatcheries, and involved the capture and transfer, in many instances for considerable dis- tances, of 35,961 fish, comprising six different species. • The propagation of the commercial food fishes has always -been given first attention by the Fish Cultural Service but in recent years the demands for the stocking and restocking of lakes and streams with game fish has been steadily growing so thab toW the hatching of trout and other genie fish forms an important part of the work. At the St.. John, New Brerhswielc, hatchery, where progress is being made in the development of a brood stock of trout, nearly two and three- quarter million trout eggs were pro- duced in 1027. The growing value of a wellstocked angling stream may be small doubt that it is the Gulf of nuged by a comparison of the rentals Mexico region.' Then Prince Madoc, eager to in- form his royal relatives of rich dis- covery, returned to England; leaving 12 men behind him to settle and col- onize the land. He set out again for the new world with ten ships filled with eager colonists, but the fate of this voyage is not known. Miss Cleaver -Cox saia the manner at writing and the longitudinal and lattitudinal figures quoted give the volume a certain authenticity. She made her findings ' known when a re- port from the States reached here that evidence had been found that French asherinen hunted Whales off New- foundland as early .as 1392.

In 1927 the angling in the same waters brought the record figure of $75,500 per year forethe following five'years. —"Natural Resources." .e. Southern Cross Pilot Testifies Capt.

'Germany Buries Deadly War Gas Left Over Supply Placed Vaults Under Prince Opens Exhibition At Newcastle Northeast England Reaches Industrial Turning -Point, Says Heir Apparent SAVES WORKMAN Newcastle -on -Tyne, Eng.—A "chal- lenge of the northeast coast to the world!" The Prince of Wales in these words described an exhibition covering 100 acres on Newcastle town moor comparable to the show held your years ago at Wembley which he had just opened amidst scenes of re- markable enthusiasm, 40,000 people having asssembled at the Stadium to hear him speak. Tho Exhibition, Which hasbeen two years in preparation, coniprises seenitle products representing the in- clusteles of northeast England, includ- ing especially shipbuilding, iron and steel produetion, engineering output, machinery manufacture and teal min- ing; supplemented by corresponding contributions from all parts of Great Britain and the Commonwealth's na- tions overseas: It is to advertise Britieb, products and, taking place as it has *done at the moment when trade has begun to improve after a number of years of deep post-war depression, it is re- gardedas the turning point in the industrial history of the undaunted north. "To-day,h said the Prince, "there are certain Indications tb show that the industries of this district which have had a good deal of .punishment during the last few rounds are not yet out of the ring but are fighting back gallantly with a good northern punch." After giving statistics supporting this statenient, the Prince said the exhibition was an "announcement to the whole world that the great shop of this" industrial district is still open, is determined to carry on and Is pre- pared to meat all orders with the highest traditions of a not unworthy past." The exhibition, the Prince contin- ued, was to "revitalize the existing industries, to • discover how they should be adapted and if necessary improved," not only as a general source of national income but "to' pro- vide fresh channels for labor In an area that has had more than its fair share of hard times." The Prince of Wale e was, the cen- tral figure in an exciting episode when he dramatically rescued a man from being drawn into some machin- ery, shortly after the official opening. In describing the rescue of the man, who was named Guinn.ess, the foreman of the exhibition, an eye wit- ness, said that the thing happened in a flash, Guinness was sitting on a ladder adjusting a machine for the manufacture of tin containers, which the Prince was examining. He was pointing out one of the intricacies in the process when one of the tins caught in the carriage. Guinness, 111 snatching at the tin to save break- age, slipped off the ladder and hung with his feet within a few inches of the machinery, which was rotating at great speed. "The Prince grabbed at Guinness' overalls and pulled him towards the ladder," said interment. "The over- alls slipped from the Prince's hand and Guinness, who was still clinging to an overhead gear, swung back to his dangerous position, The Prince then seizea him the second time and succeeded lu pulling him back clear of the machinery. Ile would have lost his leg had he dropped."

All Windsor and the surrounding countryside were out to welcome their monarch back. Windsor was decorated as seldom before. Not a single house or shop on Castle Hill, or in the main street of the city, was without gay decorations. The Ring, accompanied by Queen Mary, had had a 'emarkable recep- tion throughout their 21/4 hour trip from Craigwell House, Bognor, where the King ha dspent several months. But it remained for Windsor to outdo all the others as it welcomed again it smost prominent resident, Thousands of cheering spectators, including 2,000 school children and 1,000 Eton boys 'lined the ancient thoroughfare. As the royal ear drove through, bags of rose petals were emptied from windows and fell M a crimson cascade about the ma- chine. It was the first time most of the inhabitants of Windsor had seen the Ring since late last year. All along the line there were cries of: "God bless your majesties!" and "Welcome home!" .At the bottom of Castle Hill which rises steeply up toward the ancient gray stone pile were waiting the Mayor and alderinen.

English Sports Believe' in Rough Going WATER HAZARD It SPEOTAOULAR rite of two hundre4 competitors In Marstialton Aleto ',cycle Club's pillion rider, striking the water splash dtlrieg FART OF RAC8 fourth annual pillion trial with FINAL SOLUTION Only Means of Destruction -4 Several Proposals Failed Berlin—In a coffin of concrete, ten feet beneath the surface of the earth, the little city et Walna will lay its great postegar ghost—the skin blister, Ing blue cross gas that forced soldiers to lift their masks in the face of death. During the war, blue cross gas cut across No Man's Land, paving the way for the lung -destroying yellow cross gas. Perhaps the greatest plant for its manufacture was eon- structed at Wahn, about 20 miles from Cologne. In accordance with the Versailles Treaty the plant was scrapped, but the great supply of gas defied dispo- sition. For ten years the community struggled with the problem, and every means practical, theoretical and bi- zarre was given trial. At first they tried to burn the gas but the farmers declared their crops were being ruined. Neutralizing processes failed to produce results. A suggestion that the stug be buried at sea was rejected when it was consid- ered that it might be dangerous to transport the gas up the Rhine. Moreover, fishermen objected strenue. misty. Compromise Solution Meanwhile, as a compromise solu- tion, the gas had been stored in about three feet of soil under the factory,' but the soil was sandy, and it wase believed It would infect the subsoil water. When the factory was dis- mantled, it was feared the gas might rise through the soil to pollute the air above it, a fear intensified by the Hamburg gas leak disaster. So the authorities cast about for a final solu- tion. The new plan called for two vast hermetically -sealed, underground vaults, one of which is still under con- struction. A crew of men, in gas masks, rubber suits and thickly-' padded gloves and shoes, was engag- ed to remove the blue cross gas to what it is hoped will be its last rest- ing place. Officials similarly garbed and the city physician were on hand to help out in case ot emergency. The completed Tenn was built by digging a pit 20 feet below the sur- face of the ground. The walls are of six inch concrete, scraped and tarred to seal cracks. The floor is bedded with a one foot layer of water -impervious clay, and the sides are two feet deep in the same sub- stance. When the vault was filled, a roof of tar, concrete and clay was placed over it, and on top of tbls about ten feet of earth.
