Continued from Page 1.) is encircled by those who come to lay there a wreath in memory of some loved one, or simply to look upon the (lowers and to think of the dead. Tears came 'to my eyes as I saw these offerings. On one wreath was written, "In memory of Arthur," and on another, "In memory or our dear Daddy." There In the midst of the throngs that pass through Whitehall street, one may look into England's heart, a heart of sorrow.

In a quaint book entitled "Voyages Through North v America to the Frozen and Pacific Oceans" he describes briefly the burning banks of the Tiver that hears his name. His party had noticed the "sulphurous smells" when going down the river. Returning .when "14 days from the last camp," hi landed and found "a burning seam of coal which had been on fire for many years." The Canadian Geological survey, in a report recently issued, explains that the flrea are due to spontaneous combustion of bituminous material in a stratum of shale which has a thickness of 500 to 1,000 feet. In some places there are red cliffs of burnt shale 100 to 200 feet high. Growth of Methodist Church.
