EXPLORER SUCCUMBS
TO BLOOD POISONING
Earl of Carnarvon Discovered
Tomb of Pharaoh After
Seven Years of Fruit-
less Excavation.
.A despatch from Cairo says: -The
Earl of Carnarvon died peacefully at
2 o'clock Thursday morning. Ile was
conscious almost to the end. His death
was due to blood poisoning through
the bite of an insect, with the later;
development of pneumonia. When the
end came., Carnarvon's wife, daughter
and son, Lord Portchester, who ar-
rived from India a day or two ago, 1
were at the bedside.
In 1895 he married Almina Womb-
well, daughter of the late Frederick
C. Wombwell. His wife inherited
much of the fortune of the late Al-
fred De Rothschild.
The death of the Earl of Carnarvon
comes shortly after the culmination
of the exploit that brought him chief-
ly into public notice -the discovery of
the rich tomb of the Pharoah Tutank-
hamen, in the Valley of the Kings, in
Egypt,' by the archaeological expedi-
tion which he headed.
His father, the fourth Earl of Car -
maven, was British Colonial Secre-
tary under Lord Derby, and while
holding this portfolio, moved the sec-
ond reading of the bill for confedera-
tion of the British North American
provinces. Resigning upon the• pass-
age of the Reform Bill in 1867, he
again became Colonial Secretary
under Disraeli, in 1874, serving until
878. Later he served for two years
as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland,
He was reputed to have spent more
than $100,000 maintaining the expe-
dition, which finally uncovered the
Pharoah's tomb last December, after
seven years of fruitless excavation.
The tomb, which contained an un-
precedented quantity of objects of the
greatest historical value, as well as
'the undisturbed sarcophagus of the
Pharoah, is said to have been the.
richest find ever unearthed in Egypt.

FIRE PROTECTION
IN NORTH ONTARIO
Some of Latest Type of Gaso-
line Engines Have Been
Decided. On.
A despatch from Cochrane, Ont.,
says: -Considerable additions to the
available equipment has been made
for the coming season's work in the
north by the Ottawa Fire Protection
Service, according to E. G, Poole, sup-
ervisor . for this district. Some of the
latest typeeof gasoline engines with
a pumping capacity of from 350 to
400 gallons per minute, have been de-
cided upon and these will be used to
protect town and village while they
also will be available for use against
forest fires in the hush.
Two railway motor cars and a num-
ber of trucks will be added to the
equipment and the mounted patrdl will
be enlarged in numbers. The permit
system will not be employed in the
New Liskeard area this summer, but
mounted rangers will patrol the dis-
trict. Motor boats and'canoes will be
used extensiveiy to cover the territory.
A despatch from Montreal says: -
Quick action on the part of "a G.T.R.
locomotive engineer probably saved
the life of W. B. Clark, whose leg was'
severd by a train at the St. Remi
Street crossing. The engineer imme-
diately brought the train to a step,
and cutting off a piece of the bell rope,
made a tourniquet, which he applied
to Mr. Clark's bleeding limb and part-
ly stopped the flow of blood. The leg
had been severedbelow the knee, and
when the -victim was admitted to the
Montreal General Hospital, it was
found necessary to amputate above
the knee. Mr.. Clark was reported to-
day as resting comfortably.
Newfoundland Sealer
Returns' With 11,367 Pelts..
A despatch from St. John's, Nfld.,
says: -The' steamer Sagona, the first
of the Newfoundland sealing fleet to
return from the ice fields, has just ar-
rived with' 11,367 pelts. She has been
absent just four weeks. TM. Sagona
reported that she made -her catch 115
miles off Cape Race, and that the other
vessels of the fleet now are working
there. Unless, conditions improve, the
Sagona's will be the only"paying catch
among the fleet;, as she is the smallest
vessel, and least expensive to operate.
The total kill of theentire fleet up to
the present is 73,.500:
Carnarvon Dies at Cairo.
Lord Carnarvon, the joint discoverer
of King Tatankhams� en'tomb, who was
reported as recovering from an attack
of poisoning sa o e- ue o mos-
quito bites, has succumbed to the
malady. There is much speculatirin
upon the effect of tomb poisons slid
old Egyptian curses- in. their relation
to his death.

'While gold and silver are by

omic value. The output of . mica

PACKAGE OF DYNAMITE
CAUSE OF A LILY SPRINT
When Attorney Produces Exhibit in Suit, Judge, Jury and
Spectators Make Head long Rush for the Exit.
A despatch from'` Detroit says:
Judge, jury and spectators clipped
several seconds off the record for the
100 -yard dash. Thursday afternoon,
when 'enough dynamite to take all the
shape out of the county buildipg was
found within a foot of the desk of
Judge Clyde T. Webster: The discovery
was made during taking of testimony
in the $25,000 suit of Aaron Bayer, 14
years old, against Ray D. Baker, a
contractor, for alleged carelessness.
The contractor, it is claimed, left
caps and dynamite strewn negligently'
about the ground near Some work at
East Warren and Fairview Avenues,
and the boy picked up a cap and
threw it against the wall. In doing so
it blew half of one -of his hands off.
"We wish to place in evidence some
sticks of dynamite," said one of the
attorneys, 'stoopling over to pick up a
bundle that had been lying since early
adorning near the judge's desk, Ten
seconds later, when the attorney got
the package over to his desk, he 4is-
covered • that everyone had -magically
vanished. There was a protracted re-
cess before the unanimous consent ,of
the jury, was obtained to come back
and look at the explosive.- Even then,
most of the jury and the judge Seemed
more interested in looking out of the
windows while the lawyer was ginger-
ly exhibiting the sticks of dynamite.

A despatch from London says: --A

from references to the - "great war,"
hasbeen noted here, the most recent
instance being when the Prince 'of
Wales unveiled a memorial window in
Wes minster Abbey a few days ago.
The adjective was omitted from the
inse ri iprtion on the window, and it was
also issing from the order of service
for th the : unveiling ,ceremony, contain'
ing a Prince's address.
Te Prince, through force of habit,
perhaps, read into the printed version
'the deleted word. Soxrie believe he op-
poses the shortening of the phrase be-
cause of his own knowledge' that it
was °the great war."
He knows much who knows when'to

Great Britain Provides
for Ex -Service Pigeons,
A despatch from London says: -
Ex -service pigeons which were under
fire several times during the war,
while carrying messagesfor the Brit-
ish Army, have been pensioned off by
the War Department to the care of a
keeper whose duty it will be to see
that they are properly cared for until
they d,e. The birds were used to
convey messages ashore from ships at
sea and also between France and
England.
Once while carrying a message 108
mites bird No. 12 was shot through
one wing but carried on and brought
the dispatch to land. The information
the bird carried saved the town of
Bridlington from a bombardment. Its
mate was shot down by a German site
marine.
