Aberhart's Drug Store for• 10c extra. Plan of hall op- ens on Tuesday, January 6th, at 8 a.m. Like their famous confrere Houdini, the Ulrichs are devoting a part of their programme to a demonstration of how unscrupulous spiritualistic mediums humbug the public. They stage A. complete spiritualistic seance and`e the tricks which tip tables, ro��,,on 1Ls and materialize flowers iifid'`'faces. The Society of American 'madisns may jealously guard the secrets of magic but they are frank enough to stat. that magic is pro- duced by cleverness of manipulation by the perfefFme r, or by a psychologi- cal illusion. They are determined to help oust the fakers who play on the credulity and superstition of people stunned by bereavement of some lov- ed one. Mr. Uurich is a master magician and entertainer as well. Mrs. Ulrich acts as his assistant and pianist. Their entertainment is cleverly ar- ranged, well diverr,ifled, and present- ed in a pleasing professional manner. Their stage equipment is made of the finest of materials and constitutes a most attractive setting for their work. COUNTY COUNCIL Ni ,vTTERS Goderich, 1)ee. 29, 1925.

HELIUM GAS FOUND IN ONTARIO The following article from a city daily of a recent date, describing the recent discovery of Helium gas found in Peel County, will be of additional interest to many readers of The Ex- positor, when they learn hat this famous gas was discoverea on the farm at Inglewood, formerly owned by the late Jacob McGee, for niany years a well known resident of Eg- mondville, and was the farm on -which his daug Seafor Egmo says: The '• avf"nce of Ontario, through field 'work done by Professor J. C. McLennan, of the University of To- ronto and Colonel R. B. Harkness, Natural Gas Commissioner, and through the policy of its government is claiming the properties involved orebehalf of the Crown—bas come in- to possession of important helium wells, their location bei e `t, amity of Peel, at Ingle*" , a ort distance from Brampton. Announce- ment of the acqu ement of the wells was made over a week end by Premier Ferguson, ho expressed the view that, for se' ntific purposes, they would assume world-wide im- portance. Helium is a very rare gas, much lighter than air, which came into especial prominence during w a r time as a result,of its utility as a filling for dirigibles. Since then it has received would wide scientific notice because of endeavors to liquify it in which Professor McLen- nan was finally successful. It is now promising to assume some consid- erable commercial importance as a packinz for electrical generating machines, whereby their efficiency will be greatly increased, and as an explosive in combination with other chemicals. It is of importance in re- search because it is a tremendous conductor of heat and will reduce a commodity to as low a temperature as 460 degrees fahrenheit below zero, thus permitting the investigation of the properties of substances at a very low temperature. In a statement upon the subject of the newly discovered Inglewood wells, which he issucd last evening, Pro- fessor McLennan told of having been commissioned two years ago by tbe Department of Mines at Ottawa to examine the gases of Canada with a view to discovering helium. As a result of this commission, the welie- in Peel County had been located, and found to possess the highest helium content of any natural gasses as yet discovered in the British Empire. The wells are said to be shallow, and the gas supply moderate in amount, but it is estimated that they will provide at least 100,000 cubic feet of helium per year. "The Natural. Research Colwell of "' Canada,ProfeAsor MacLennan/ stated, "has expressed the opinion that's -hel- ium extraction plant should be set up in the Inglewood gas field and ,it is gratifying to learn that the Govern- ment, on bei informed of the exist- ence of such a rich supply of helium - bearing gas in the province, immedi- ately took the necessary steps to con- serve it for industrial purposes. There is a considerable dezSnand for helium by the research workers in ell the universities in Canada, and none is available except a moderate supply held by the . University of Toronto obtained as a result of operating the plant at Calgary."
