The seers who tell us so are a number of clergymen who partook in the deliberations of the "prophetic and second adves: confer- ence," at Exeter Hall, London. The particulars of the earth's finish, as giv- en by the prophets, do not measure up the same, but all agree that the end is at hand. May 2, 1929, and April 9, 1931, are the choices given in dates. The upheavals and turmofis so com- mon of late in 'war and earthquake, are proof positive, the prophets con- clude, that the usefulness of the world is departing. The coming of an anti- Christ, will complete the list of neces- sities for the peripture's fuMiliment.

The s Sudbury nickel fleld is described in nast three sum Object of det of the nickel amining the' ps at the known ore ntioh being given do n . a chapter devoted to the uses of nickel it is pointed opt Switzer land, A ~Hungary and France within the last few years have adopted pure nickel instead af the nickel-cop- per alloy for their coinage. The pure metal does nat tarnish or éhange color, but keeps bright and attractive, and, as it is harder, the inipsint stands wear much better. "It Is more difficult te counterfeit, since the minting requires more powerful presses." "Why" asks Prof. Coleman, "should not Canada, the producer of half the nickel of the world, replace her ugly cents by clean, untar- nishable nickel coins, almost as hand- some as silver and much more durabie? Canada is presently to have a mint, and it should begin its work by coining one-cemt and five-cent pieces of pure nickel; making use of a distinctively Canadian metal." In his introduction Prof. Coleman, who speaks in terms of praise of the assistance given him by Messrs. M. T. Culbert, W, E. H. Carter, formerly Secretary of the Bureau of Mines, a number of Government officials and others, says in part: "The Sudbury nickel fleld has long known as the most impertant source of that metal in America, if not in the world, but the work of the last three years has brought out more and more strikingly the unique character of this mining region. It hag been proved that all the ore deposits of any econo- mic importance are at or near the out- er margin of a huge laccolithic sheet of eruptive rock a mile and a quartar thick, thirty-six miles long and seven- teen miles wide. This sheet is now in the form of a boat-shaped syncline, with its pointed end to the southwest and its square end to the northeast. The rock composing this sheet is no- rite at the outer (and lower) edge, Merging Into granite or grano-diorite at the inner (upper) edge. The ove bodies @re round the margin of the norite, or along dikelike offsets from it, and have evidently segregated from the rock while still molten, though they may have und later rear by circulating water." Later, In speaking of the marginal deposits, Prof. Coleman says: 'These include the Creighton mine, owned by the Canadian Copper Co., which may safely be called the greatest nickel mine in the world, having already produced probably more than §00,000 tons of rich ore, and, as it is supposed from the re- sults of diamond drilling, having mil. lions of tons in reserve" At the present time only two com- panies are actually at work, the Cana- dian Copper Co. and the Mond Co. "Both" says the report, "Seem to be fairly established with good mines and satisfactory methods of smelting and refining the ore, so that the future should de prosperous."

"How do you come to be in London? waa the first obvious question. "Because London Is the place to climb up In" was the characteristic answer, Miss Johnson has been In London before, when her first book of poems was published by Mr. John Lane, "I. was born," she said, "on an In- dian; reservation, in the Province of Op- tarlo. I came of the famous Iroquois. My father was a pure-blooded Indian, chief of the Mohawks, of the Six Na- tions Indians.' My mother was an Eng- lishwemah, although she became, ac- cording to Mw, an Indian by her mar- riage. We have long since offered the white man our white wampum. In the wampum of beadwork -- I must show you my own wampum delt--is written the dead language of a nation, for it re- presents the literature, traditions, the currency of the Bedmen." "My name Tekahionwake," continued Miss Johnsom., "belongs to my family. Johnson is only a baptismal name, that was first used by my great-grandfath- er. The Indian word signifies, literally, 'double life, meaning it is hard to kill a Tekahionwake. You have not killed him once till you have killed him twice!" Migs Johnson's Indian dress is won- derful. The skirt, like the moecasins, is made of buckskin from far Atha- basca, a scarlet blankét falls from shoulder to heel, one sleeve is of er- mine, the other a fringe of buckskin, embroMered, with moosehair. Her necklace Is made of bears' claws, threaded on a strip of fine leather, and graduated In size. '* "Pais scalp is one of my great treas- ures," sald Tekahionwake. "I wouldn't give's dollar for a white man's scalp!" she laughingly sald, "but this one was sent to me from the West, and belong- ed to ah old warrior of the Blood trite." MAMMOTH 18 A MYTH. Perforated Indian Skull -- Interesting Word Paintings on Temagami Rooks. Mr. David Boyle, superintendent of the Provincial Museum, has just re- turned to Toronto from Moore township in Lambton County. He found the re- port about the mammoth remains said to have been discovered there, to be incorrect. He could find no traces of such an animal. Mr. Boyle made some excavations in the Indian Reserve, however, and pick- ed up seme relles of value. The most interesting was a human skull perfor- ated on the apex with a clean cut hele, which must have been bored with seme instrument. There are a few other spe- cimens of a similar description in the museum, . "These holes may have been bored in 1 the skulls before death," said Mr. Boyle. "In which case they were no doubt made to allow some evil spirit to es- cape, as In the case of one stricken with apoplexy. But it is quite possible the holes were made after death, and would then be made for the purpose of hanging the skulls up. "The natives of Peru," he continued, "had made considerable progress in the art of surgery, and skulls have been found showing clear evidence of trepanning, the holes being made with sharp pieces of flint." Interesting specimens of Indian word painting were copied and brought to the museum last week by Mr. W. H. C. Phillips, who made a trip to the Temagami district for the pur- pose. There are two sets of paintings, four specimens in each set. One was found painted on the rocks on the north shore of Diamond Lake, the other at the Southern extremity of Lady Evelyn Lake. They bear close resemblance te the paintings discovered on the rocks of Lake Massanog, Addington County, and published in Mr. Boyle's archaco- logical report for 1904-5. No one has yet succeeded in deciphering these in- scriptions. ---------- Doukhobors' Good Work. . Malcolm MeMillan of Macdonald, Mc- Millan & Co. G. T. P. contractors, has returnad to Winnipeg from an insppc- tien of the work along the line as far as Birdtail River. In this vicinity the Deukhobors have several grading con- tracts, and Mr. McMillan speaks in the highest terms of their work. The Doukhobors, he maintains, have put some of the finest pieces of grading that have been done on the whole line, They @re great hustlers and are not at all affected dy "pilgrimage propensities." Mr. McMillan states that the work is going along very satisfactorily, and that whea the snow flies the company expect to have not only 276 miles from Portage to Touchwood Hills graded, but also the G5-mile span, Pertage to Winnipeg. . : ---- No Soft Business Here.
