Blackweil Printer Stationer Bookseller LEACOCK HAD OTHER PLANS Distinct Reason Why in Death He Could Not Lie Beside Lord Strathcona. G. B. Burgin, in his recently pub lished "Memoirs," relates the follow ing nneedote: A short time ago Ste phen Leacock was the guest of a lit erary club to which I belong, and when I was called on to speak I x plained how that morning I had been walking in Hlighgate ceniptery and paused by the tomb of Lord Strath cona. One of the cemetery custodians Joined ne, and said, regretfully, "Lord Strath eona's the only distl!'igllished Canadian we have here." Then lie brIght::e1 up n!!.tle. "But thpre's a vacant lot beside his lordship." Whereupon I explained to him curi ously enough that I was going to meet another distinguished Canadian that evening, aind( wouli try to induce him to make the necessary arrangements for occupying the vacant space by Lord Strathcona. Leacock listened to this tvith strained attention. On rising to reply, he disregarded the points made by the other speakers, and said: "Whilst I am deeply grateful to Mr. Burgin for his- thoughtful arrange ments regarding my ob-equies, I re gret to info'rm him that they will have to be canceled, as I have already de cided to be buried in Westminster ab bey." FIGHT MINE FIRES WITH MUD Experience Has Shown That Is as Practical a Method as Any Known. Fighting fires in mines is a slow, tedious job and since the dawning of mining has been considered almost a hopehess undertaking. Rich mines In many parts of the' world have been burning for generations. Underground fires no longer are considered un quenchable. In the Butte district a process of fire figiting has been de veloped by a mining compaoy which is salvaging an ore body of tremendous extent. Fires that have been burning for 15 years in three connecting mines are being smothered under 1,000,000 tons of mud. At the end of 1922 2,000,000 tons of metalliferous ore, containing, accord. Ing expert estimates, at least 80, 000 tons of copper, once more will be accessible. Sand. decomposed rock and other materials which came originally from the stopes and were discarded as tail. ings in the process of copper extrac tion, simply have been turned back tnto the fire area. Water, which lih many cases has proved Its uselessness as an extinguisher of underground fires, is used for ttansportaton. It convoys the tailings down'to the fire regions, 1200 to 2200 feet under ground, where the souplike slime fills the abandoned drifts. cross-ents and stepes and literally smothets the fire. interesting to Archeologists. A ;Romeg~ltishararenhas -.just ..ben' disoyered on nHam(hill, Seni sot,. gland.- On the east'slde of the Roman encampment was unearthed the complete skeleton of a young adult, probably a male. The grave was about two feet in depth, lying duo north and south, the head and shoul. ders being Inclosed by slabs of Ham stone. On the right of the head lay a shallow dish of Roman-British black pottery. This was broken in three places- probably by the .superoencum bent earth, bntt with the exception of a small portion of the rim it was pos sible to restore it. Near the head lay a emmde-and barbarous copy of a Third or F'ourth century A. D). Roman brass coin. This had probably been placed in the mouth to enable the dead man to pay his fare to Oharon, the ferry man, for taking .him across the Styx. Near the rigt)t hayA of the skeleton lay an oval hammer stone or pounder. Homespun Jeans.

MANY USERS OF TELESCOPE Dealers Report Practically a Steady Demand for Glasses In All Months of the Year. "We sell telescopes all the year rounl, but the demand for them Is greater in summer than in .other sea sons," saild tlie salestuan iII a New York optician's shop. "Perhaps that Is because it Is eisier to remain out doors and study the stars on a sum mer night than it is when the weather Is colder. "Also, in summer people buy tele scopes for other purposes than- to study the stars. Folks on the sea shore get'them to look at passing ves sels, at the clouds and other things. We sell some also to those who live in the mountains and use the tele soope for lookout purposes. But of course, the greater number of tele scopes, especially the high-power glasses, are bought for the study of the heavens. "Annually we sell an average of 200 telescopes for amateur use. They range in size from the hand glass, with 1-inch lens, to the glass that is supported on a tripod and has a lens 3 to 3% inches in diameter. Larger lenses than the 8% Inch size are sel dom bought by amateurs. They are' for professional use." ''Jlnxee" Were Numerous.

And the explosion occurred very close to the spot wherie the Tltanje went down In 1912.

Denatured alcohoi is grain alcohol made unfit for use as a beverage. Completely denatnred alcohol is made by adding 10 gallons of wood alco hol and a half gallon of bennine to 100 gallons of ethyl alcohol. This is free from government tar and may be bought by any one for use as fuel or lIght. The denaturing must be done when the alcohol is produced and in~ bonded wa-ehouses used exclusively for thQ pwypose and for storing denatured ail coliol, and is done Under the super vision of the government. The' grain alcohol may be made from grain, corn, potatoes or similarly starchy products, but the conditions under which it must be produced makeit impracticable ex cept for well-equipped factories.
