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

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.

Sand. decomposed rock and other
materials which came originally from
the stopes and were discarded as tail.

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."

Denatured Alcohol.
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.
