short description of that country was
read by IMr. Paull, then each one took
a position in; such a way that Great
Britain was flanked by the Dominions
and they by the other countries. This
made a very effective scene and while
in position the National Anthem was
sung.

Cecil Shipley Dies.—Death came at
noon on Friday to Cecil Shipley, who
was so terribly injured on Saturday
last by being drawn into the feed
cylinders of the threshing machine
just as the threshing was completed
and the- power about to be shut off.
Although amputation of the mangled
limb was effected, blood poisoning set
in which together with the shock of
the accident was more than the sys-
tem could stand. Much sympathy is
felt throughout the community for
the bereaved family, and sorrow that
a promising young life should be cut
off just at the threshold of manhood
and under such tragic circumstances.
The funeral was held from the par-
ental home on Monday afternoon. Ser-
vice was conducted by Rev. F. G. Far -
rill, pastor of Ontario Street United
Church of which the family are mem-
hers. The funeral was very largely
attended. The surviving members of
the family are the father and mother,
one brother, Reginald, and three sis-
ters, one in Clinton, and two at home.
Interment took place in Clinton ceme-
tery. The pallbearers were two cous-
ins, Harold' Crich 'and Carman Row-
cliffe, and Elmer Lebeau, Wilbur Nott;'
Harold Stanbury and Victor Falconer,
friends of the deceased.
An Appreciation of Dr. Landsbor-
oughr—The Menominee County Jour-
nal of November 6th has an apprecia-
tion of Dr. David. R. Landsborough,
of that town, who died recently. Dr.
Landshorough was a brother of Mr.
William Landshorough, of Tucker -
smith. The paper says: "Sometime
ago; the American Magazine conduct-
ed a contest on "The Best Loved Per-
son i Ever Knew," Thousands of re-
plies were received and well -loved
persons in all walks of life were men-
tioned. But the old fashioned country
doctor was mentioned more frequent-
ly in the 'contest letters than any other
type of man. in the making of
America the old family doctor played
a glorious part. "He that is greatest
among you shall be your servant,"
hath said the Master. This divine
test of greatness has been met by
many a doctor but by none in a more
perfect degree than by the universal-
ly esteemed man whose premature
passing has cast a pall of genuine
heartfelt sorrow over this whole com-
munity.

only did he have the physical care o
many for miles and, miles around t
look after but in inumerable cases, h
was the adviser in financial, lega
and political matters as well. Hi
counsel was sought.in many things
outside of his professional line an
he gave it freely, conscieneely and
fearlessly: We all had faith in him
we all trusted him and to this faith
and trust he responded most mag-
nificently, He was never known to
have stooped to a single low act!
Though personally thrifty, and this
is a virtue his charity was boundless.
No need to recall how, during the in-
fluenza epidemic he didn't get his
clothes off for three whole weeks but
day and night with only the sleep he
could snatch while being driven from
one end of the county to the other,
he ministered to sick and dying hu-
manity. Many an anxious hour he
spent•in your home, keeping solicitous
watch over your loved ones as they
hovered over the brink of eternity.
In pouring rains and blinding snow-
storms he drove his horse over muddy
trails and corduroy to bring a new
life into the world or to stay the go-
ing of an old one. More than once,
way off in the backwoods where suit-
able equipment was lacking he set a
fractured leg with a piece of string
and a flat iron and got as good re-
sults as the mechanical engineering
staff of a big city hospital with no
thought of their lordly fees. More
than 'once he drove his -tired horse
over miles of mud to ease the little
sick child of a dead -beat. To relieve
pain he did not flinch in pulling, the
three -pronged fish hook molar of the
250 pound hired man, though he al-
most dislocated his shoulder in so do-
ing. He laughed with us in our joys
and wept with us in our griefs. His
personal and his family life was with-
out a blemish and the young men of
this community will long look up to
him as a shining example fit to be
followed. Elaborate and costly and
architecturally beautiful as some of
the world war monuments may be, the
greatest of them all is very simple.
It is called the "Trench of Bayonets
at Verdun." A shell from the Big
Bertha hurled a whole company of
French soldiers and they died stand-
ing, their bayonets sticking out of
ground. A ma ble enclosure has been
built around that trench and their
bodies were never disturbed. Valiant
old warrior that he was, he refused to
give up the fight though he clearly
saw the danger ahead and like the
veterans at Verdun, Dr, Landsborough
actually died standing! Now alas,
that his busy, unselfish life is over
and that generous heart that beat
with sympathy and affection for he
lowly and afflicted is forever stilled,
now that those capable hands from
which flowed countless blessings are
folded in . immovable peace, may his
faithful service find unending reward
with the Heavenly Father. Ile Ioved
his neighbor as himself and if every-
one for whom he did a kindly deed
were to place a single blossom on his
grave, Dr. Landsborough would rest
to -night 'beneath a wilderness of
flowers.

seed from samples coming directly
from these Egyptian tombs. State-
ments have also appeared in the press
which might lead one to believe that
the tombs of Egypt appear to possess
some mysterious power to preserve
the germinating ability of cereal
grain for a long period of time. Ap-
parently these statements have at-
tracted the attention of aNnumber of
Old Country people who have ap-
pealed to certain officials of the Brit-
ish Museum for information as to
whether or not wheat stored in tombs
for a long period of years is capable
of growing. As a result of these en-
quiries Sir Ernest Wallis Budge,
Keeper of Egyptian Antiquities in the
above museum, published the follow-
ing article in the London Times re-
cently.
"Three gentlemen connected with
the Press have rung me up and told
me that they had received a report
from America that a distinguished
farmer had succeeded in making to
grow wheat which he had obtained,
from the tomb of Tutankhamen. And
they asked me if I believed that such
a thing was credible.
"During my years of service as
Keeper of Egyptian Antiquities in the
British Museum I was asked this ques-
tion, either by letter or by word of
mouth, on an average twice or thrice
a week, and the Director received
iany letters asking the same ques-
tion. Dr. Birch had said, 'Ancient
Egyptian wheat will not grow,' and
we gave that as an answer to inquir-
'es. (Subsequently good fortune gave
me the opportunity of buying, in 1897,
at my own cost, in Western Thebes,
a good specimen of a wooden model
f an ancient Egyptian granary,
which had just been found in a tomb
of the Nineteenth Dynasty, say 1200
B. C. It contained little bins and
the usual staircase, and the whole
space not occupied by the bins was
covered with a layer of darkish brown
grain, wheat or barley. (I know not
which), several inches deep. I poured
out the grain into a leather bag and
brought it home in due course,
"I suggested to the Director that
we should give some of the grain to
the authorities at Kew Gardens.and
ask them to make a careful experi-
ment and let us know the result. With
his approval I wrote to Dr. Thistleton
Dyer, the Curator, and asked his help
antl he promised to give the planting
of the grain his personal care and at-
tention. He prepared soil and divided
the grain into four little heaps, and he
planted each heap separately, and cov-
different color—white, yellow, red, and
blue. The who,le of the Kew staff
was intensely interested in the ex-
periment, and many botanists joined
them waiting for the grain to
germinate. They waited day after
day, week after weak, but no shoot of
an),,m kind appeared. At length, after
three months, they turned over the
little plots and found that all the
grain had turned to dust. As a re-
sult, Thistleton Dyer reported that
ancient Egyptian wheat or barley
would not grow, and then went on to
talk kibout the shortness bf the life of
the germinating properties in grain
generally. Many others tried the
same experiment, with the same re-
sult.
"As we shall have all the old stor-
ies and statements brought up again
in the press generally, I would fain
ask you to put on record in The Times
the above short account of Thistleton
Dyer's exhaustive experiment."
