Concerning Gliosts From the Montreal Gazeete Somewhere about 18% I looked iuto a "daylight ghost " for the Toronto Globe If you look through the fyiea of that journal for several years before and after that date you will find a long (and inconclusive) account of it; by me. It was in a log .scho)l In the county of Crey in Ontario ; the postoffice was Biinea8»n; the nearest railway st.-.tion.^ in chose days were Durham (G T R) and Flesherto.i (CPR). Ic IS a hilly, ra:her heavily wooded region. The sohoolhouse was a one roomed log affair, more or less in a cedar swamp ; the people were ashamed ot it and trying to nerve themselves to build a brick one on a more suit ibla site. When the occurrences took place the teacher was a young woman who hved a few miles away, and there were, when they began, twenty or thirty pupils. Soma time before the summer holidays began noises invaded the school. The procedure was for the teacher to open the school ; half an hour after the usual noises of an elementary school had begun the myeterious sounds would be h»ard. It wa-i a hunimina:, buzzinij sound ; the clearest duscripti.in given to me was that it was like a threshing machine runuitg empty. If the teacher were away and thrf pupils re:nained the noises continued. It Was the same if the pupiis went and the teacher stayed ; but if both left the noises stopped. To be brief, this mani- festation continued until thn sohoo' broke uu for the midsummer holidays. The trustees, beia« practical men, then dealt wifh the situation by dismissing the teacher and building a new brick school hou.se im a hill Huijerior to t,he cedxr swamp. While these we^ks wont by the whole counirysido visited ihe school and the unfonuoate teacher day after day went throujih tha motions of instructing her iiwiudling fiock while the invisible pres- ence hemmed and hawed. There would be a haiiJful of pupils in front and perhips a hundred visitors at the back of the room. The public school inspector, a Mr. Campbell, spent much time there and did what ho could to ferret out the cause ; the only effect was that the Presence did not. seem ti> like his efforts and fairly barktd at him. Once he noticed a smell as of electricity. Not to CO into too great detail, every piiSsible hypothesis eeeni»<l cortradicled by Komo feature of the aff'iir. It couli nor be Tentriki(jui.-<m for no one person's presence was esseiiiial to the show. The leiicher was not wholly normal. She professed to have had a dream a few weeks bnfore the tri>ub!B began and Co have heard the sounds in it , and some mouths after it w« ail over I heard tha; she had developed a habit of going into " irancos" A photographer drove out from Dur- ham and " took " the schoolhouso and the handful of childien who stuck to theia attendance. The leucher refused to pose in the group. A"hen it was developed, what passed for au additional face appealed lu the picure. ( 'f course there were iplenty of explan Uions, but was it not odd that an occurrence requir- ing exolanation attached itself to thst particular edifice ? We heard of ir in Toronto toe late to invsstigate while th^? affiir was iu pro- eresa.

ROBERT STEAD Auth ir of "Dennison Grant," "The Cow Puncher," "The Homesleader,^' etc. Robert Stead's New Novel Time was not so long aao. when Cana- dians h.nitjht a njvel by a Cinidido â€" if they bought it at all â€" mucli as oi.u gives mouiiy to some worthy cauae.

Bu'^ Canadians are discovering that their fellow-counlryuieu are wrimg books which are most decidedly worth reading on their own account, and per- haps no one has contributed to this discovery more than has Robert Stead, author of the famous " Kitchener " col- lection cf poems, and of tha novels, " Tha Homesteader " and " The Cow Pilncher. ' There is uoe a dull liuu iu anything Mr. SteaJ writes, and this is pattioularly true of his new novel, '• Deiiuisoa Grant ' (SI 75) which has just been published by the Mussou Book Company Limited, of Toronto. Prepare for a period of absent-mindedness, broken engigemeijts and forgotten worries of the world when you get your copy of '•Deiinison Grant " Y'ou will be so interested in the fortunes of the young Easterner who renounces tli" family wealth on account of his Socia â- 'c ideals and who finds greater liappines as a ranch hand m Alberta than as a million- aire in a city club, that the hours will slip by uncounted until you tjiid out h .w It '• comes out " in the last chapter. And it comes cut a little ditf-renuy from what you expected, and yet in til • only way It eould and he true to the Stead type of story, wh:cli always leavus one with the feeling that the time spent: to good advantage.

Poisoned at O'wen Scund Owen Sound, Nov. 28 â€" Two young men, both under 20 years of age, a.-e in the General and Marine Hospital io a very serious condition from dunking wood alcohol mixed with anise, and Peter Falurio, a Greek, is in cu*'ody, eharned with selliug the concoction.
