'NOVA SCOTIA RETURNS CONSERVATIVES AFTER 43 YEARS OF LIBERAL RULE A despatch from Halifax says: Nova Scotia :rejected the Liberal Gov- ernment, which has beee in power for the past forty-three years, and decided with unmistakable emphasis to afford the Conservative party, under Hon. E. 'N. Rhodes, an opportunity of ad- ministering her affairs. At a late hour on Thursday night indications were that the final count would show 40 Conservatives elected, as against a Liberal Opposition of 3, Premier E, FL Armstrong and all his Ministers, save Hon. William Chisholm, Minister of Mines, were defeated, the Attorney - General, Hon. W. J. O'Hearn, trailing th Liberal ticket in Halifax. Unprecedented majorities were re- corded in many of theconstituencies, and it' was estimated that the popular vote would run five tai three in favor of the Conservatives for the Province as a whole. It was the most over- whelming victory achieved by a poli- tical party in the history of Provin- cial elections since the Conservatives were routed in 1867 on the repeal issue, following Confederation, Premier Armstrong would melte no statement as to the general result sir ea to when he would fesign. Hon. F. N. Rhodes, who will succeed -es Pre- mier, endeavored to reach Halifax following the closing of file polls in Hants County, where he was elected by a safe margin, but his supporters insisted on his beingthe recipient of an ovation in Windsor, and he was perforce obliged to remain over. The issue raised by Premier Arm- strong for tariff reform was submerg- ed in the popular demand for a change and it may be said that no grave issue of public policy was decided by the contest. The incoming Govern stands committed to an independent audit of the finances of the Province and a complete investigation of the industrial situation in Cape Breton.' An interesting feature of the re-, sults was the defeat of the Labor candidates by the Conservatives in the mining constituency of Cape Breton East. The remaining eight Laborites offering in the contest lost their de- posets. • meat DISCOVER BODIES OF POLAR EXPLORERS Five of Crew of Karluk Lost in '1914 Died of Starvation on Herald Island. A despatch from New York says:— Another mystery of the polar region was solved when H. A. Snow, big game hunter and explorer, just returned from a two years' photographic ex- ploration of the Arctic regions, an- nounced the discovery of the remains of missing members of Vilhjalmur Stefansson's North Pole expedition in 1914, on Herald Island. Snow's discovery clears up the 11 - year -old mystery of the fate of the five members of the crew, one of the two parties in which the expedition was divided, who quit the ice -locked and sinking I{ar]uk and started out on the long trek back to civilization, The first party, led by Stefansson, completed the long journey, after ter- rific hardships. The other party, led by the ship's doctor, wa-, never heard from, and relief exp l:tions found no trace of it. Snow dec 'sed he came upon the remains whit_ taking pictures on Her- ald Island, which is about 65 miles from the spot where the Karluk was lost. A half -competed camp attested their ineffectual attempts to build a shelter. He believes the entire party perished of exposure and starvation a short time after they reached the island. a Identification of the art • wasmade ad party o i ive id :lir. Snow,h relatives pat , said y � es of the men to whom he brought g per- sonal effects found on the island near the bodies. 0 The difference between persever- ance andobstinacyis the distinction between a strong will and a strong won't.

EngMinistry English Air Counts the World's Lightning ANTI-SOVIET PARTY LEAD BY NICHOLAS Grand Duke Says New Move- ment Attempts to Establish Provisional Government. A despatch from Paris says:— Grand Duke Nicholas hes become chief of the new anti-Soviet movement— not as a Romanoff, it is declared by leaders in the new movement, but as commander -ht -chief of the former Russian Army. Many members of the former gen- eral staff recently have come to Paris, including General Denikine, who ar- rived froth Hungary; General Louk- omalty, foriner quartermaster general, and Generals I{outepov, Galovine, Chatiloff and I{vitginsl.y. These are with. Grand Duke Nicholas as head of the general staff, and General Denikine, chief of staff, The Grand Duke disavows any in- tention to become Czar, but says it is an attempt to estab]:sh a provision- al Government, More significance seems to attach to the movement than to any previous efforts in the same direction during the past few years, because of the in- terest shown by England and other conservative governments due to So- viet activities in Asia. The Canadian output of lead has increased rapidly since pre-war times. In 1913 approximate production was 19,000 short tons, in 1923, 55,000 tons, and in 1929, 89,000 tots, to Their Majesties A despatch from Lender) says:— - One thousand guests attended the court at Buckingham Palace and were presented King George • estted to I' >, n g and Queen Mary. v 'ir • George an informal wore 7 h i k Royal Horse Guards blue un]foitn. crtes t Mary c: din of pure gold brocade with a pale blue train.

In fact, there are 16 030,000 thunder storms a year, or sixteen to every 200 square miles. And this makes 44,000 a day, or about 1,800 going on simul- taneously in different parts of the world.

The Prince eagerly inspect-, ed the rock drillers and other machin-' ery, and insisted that each overseer' should be personaily presented to him) On leaving, the Prince was given' a pure gold paper weight with a quartz handle.

"WHITE SCOURGE" IN IRELAND ON ECLINE Better Standard of Living Among Workers is One of the Contributing Factors. A despatch from Dublin says:-- The ays:—The "White Scourge," which some years ago.was the cause of great anx- iety to public health authorities in Ireland is showing gratifying evi- • dentes of a steady decline. The tuber- culosis death rate which was nearly three per 1,000 twenty years ago has now fallen to hall' that figure and each year becomes progressively lees. Even new the rate is dikt1•essingly high as compared with other coun- tries, btrf 'there is much satisfaction With the improvement effected and strong hopes are entertained of. still further reduction. Many factors seem tohave contri- buted to the ifnprovement so far made. Not least important, is the disappear- ance of the old mud hovels and other wretched cabins, which, even at the beginning of the. century, were all too conspicuous a feature of Irish rural life. A most blessed change in this re- spect was effected by the building' schemes carried put under the Labor- ers' Cottages Acts passed by the. Brit- ish Parliament some eighteen or nine- teen years ago with the result that the Irish agricultural laborer is no longer condemned to live and rear his family under the appalling conditions of the past. Undoubtedly also there has been a vast improvement in pub- lic health administration, notably in the increase in Government grants to local authorities to assist in the pro- vision of sanatoria for tuberculosis treatment. Yet another reason—and it may he the most important of all—is the bet- ter standard of living among Irish workers resulting from the compar- ative omparative prospo';ity of the war period. From 1915 to 1920, when agricultural prices were high, the Irish rural population were able to buy food and clothing on a scale never previously possible and there can be little doubt that this has had a most beneficial effect on the capacity of the individual to withstand disease.

Prof. Jo1R who has been lecturing at Oxford,of opinion that the is P n salt now i the oceans would easily, cover all the world's rld'sdepth, land to a of at least 400 feet. In explaining his method of coo -i puting the earth's age, the Irish, sa-i vent points out that rivers have flow -1 ed into the sea throughout all geo- logical time and that the salt they I have borne away in solution remains in a measurable quantity in the seas.' By dividing the total amount of salt; ie the ocean by the amount carried' clown by all the rivers in a single year, the age of the earth is obtained, Prof. Joly believes the discovery of radium and radioactivity have given, new means of computing the earth's fge, but he says this means is not yet ully understood. 1 Britain Requires Slaughter of Cattle With Tuberculosis A despatch from London says;.—The' Ministry of Agriculture is reimposing its order requiring the slaughter of; cattle' affected by tuberculosis which order was suspended upon the out- break of the war after it had been in operation for only a few weeks.
