Horseman Victim of Myositis Ossie L " ficans, London, Jan. 31.---H you are an equestrian be careful not to grip your horse too tightly with the muscles of the thigh, or you may contract a dis- ease known as "myositis ossificans." In plain English this means that your muscles will undergo a remark- able change whick will render them as brittle as egg shells, -- y WILL BE PAID FOR: 5 fume of the london hospitals, a patient's BY PEOPLE OF AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND, Britain Will Have Twice as Many Dreadnoughts as Germany ---- Charged That The People Have Heen Deceived About Defence. New York, Jan. 31.~The Herald's naval correspondent writes from Lon- don : Orders for the two Dreadnought eruisers, to be paid for by the Com- monwealth of Australia and the Do- minion of New Zealand, aré not to be delayed, but will be given out almost immediately, and these two vessels are to be completed hy March 31st, 1912. The result of this will be that this country will have twenty-two Dread.' noughts complete when Germany will have eleven only, since it is now as nearly certain as possible that the two ships Ersatz-Heimdall and Frsars Hildebrand, the first turbine-driven battleships for Germany, cannot completed before the summer of that year. Thus Great Britain practically is complet. her Dreadnoughts to what ix on the tworkeels-to-one standard. When these two vessels have been ordered this, country will have put in hand since March of last yesr, when the government made public announce ment of the acesleration of the Ger man programme, ten Dreadnought bat- tleships and eoruisers, mix protected cruisers, twenty torpedo boat de- stroyers and an tnknown number of submarines. It is a curious circum: stance in regard to the parliamentary election that with this fact open to the knowledge of everybody, the gov- ernment should have held to be Backward on the navy question. The orders thus plaged represent a value of between twenty and twenty- five millions sterling, and it is quite certain that if the liberals return to office ome of the first things they will have to do is to find something like two millions sterling for the four con- tingent hts ordered toward the oad of Tat year, h a = never Ave sue re faced made to confuse public mind on the question of de- ou be believed, le al rddor } ny ar I half "ry was Boknow Hamilton, in & speech - ay ood a minrepreentar | 1 has been , and innceur- | ate apd umteus statements about the | sondi the navy appesr to have been greudily sccopted by a large sec tion of the public. -------------------- SHE LIVES IN BAST.

He is considered x0 rare a specimen that he has been examined hy the boards of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons, and it is said that, though he can still walk and rest in bed, he is unable to sit on a chair. Not only ave the thigh mus- cles turning to bone, but all the mus- cles of the back and the chest are §im- larly affected. 3 One of the leading doctors at the Niddlesex hospital explained to a cor: respondent that "myositis ossificans" was a disease that was due to irrita- tion. "In the case of horsemen," he said, "there have been many cases where the muscles of the thigh, when used to grip too tightly, have turned com® pletely into bone and have had to be out out. Such bones are still served, of course, by the blood vessels which formerly served the muscles. There is a specimen at the Royal College of Surgeons' museum which shows a com- plete back muscle which bas under- ne the remarkable change I have re- erred to. «Rest in the only thing one can recommend in such cases. There is no pain, and the only danger is that n man so affected is very brittle and the bone muscles are linble, to break." MOTHS SAVED $3,000. Woman Miser s Hoard Almost Burn- ed Up. South Norwalk, Conn. Jan. 31. Thanks to the work of moths a small fortune in good United States bills was saved from destruction by fire in Walton this afternoon. : 'The shabby old clothes of Mary Spitzer, who died recently, were about to be consigned to a bonfire when Through the moth hole in an old waist the gleam of a yellow back was seen. Some of the garments had been burned, but in this waist and two skirts nearly 83.000 was found in bills that ranged from ome dollar to one hundred dollars. There is no knowing how much was Jost:in the fire and it is now plannkd to open the grave and examine the clothing in which the woman was buried, in the hope of finding more treasure. Mary Spitzer for many years lived life of and a recluse in on Bill' She lived on hetbs and things she secured by bar- tering roots and wedicine. When she died the town was about to pay the funeral pxpenses, when a sister appeat- ed and made all arrangements. It appears that the woman came from a prominent New York family and had withdrawn from friends and society when young, having been dis- appointed in a love affair. Cremations Become Popular.

Owing tothe Sharp Diyergence of Opinion--Doubt as to What Mr. Asquith Will Do--Will the Strong Forces in Cabinet Sabordinate Their Views? : London, Jan. 31.---The geoerad elee- lion was practically conipleted, turday, and provided the remainibg | Sa- seven districts vote the same as they | did seven years ago, the new parlia- | ment will stand : Unionists Liberals ... Labovites .... Nationalists ... «co se ee Independent nationalists There have been net unionist gains of 106, which reduces the coalition majority from 334 to 122. This figure will be unstable, owing te the sharp divergence of opinion on many impor. tant questions among the ministerial iets. Thus a section of Irish members will vote against the budget, while a considerable number of liberals are pledged against home rule. What Will Asquith Do? New York, Jan, 31.--The Sun's Lon. don cable says © There is considerable speculation on both sides whether Pre- mier Asquith is willing to remain in office. One rumor definitely asserts that he will advise the king to send for Lewis Harcourt, the first commis sioner of works, to organize a cabinet sented by the ministerial majority. Right Hon. Joseph Albert Pease, the liberal whip, who was defeated for re-election, is about, ie join Mr. As- quith in Southern France, and will use his strong persuasive powers 10 induce the premier to retain his lead- dership. Should he succeed, it will be only on the distinct understanding that radical Lloyd-George and Win- ston Churchill elements shall subordin- ate themselves in the cabinet to the more moderate policy which the pre- mier abd Sie Edward Gray, the min: jeter of foreign affnirs, represent.

No Compulsory Training--~hysical Training is to be the Basis of the Course in All Schools. Toronto; Jan. 31.--The minister of education has concluded an agrecment with the executive council = of the Strathcona trust by means of which the schools of Ontario may share in the benefits of the Stratheéona trast for the engagement of physical and military training in the schools. Dr. Pyne held a. conference lately with Gen, Sir Percy Lake, in which h conditions under which Ontario could comply with the re uirements of the trust so as to share in the grants, were discussed. The original terms proposed were found to be too onerous for adoption here. The modifications as now agreed to were od by the executive council of the trust, and entirely precinde the idea that the schools were to have .a aystem of SOmpulsvry military training thrust them.

"If a housekeeper," said Mr. Hill, "instead of standing in frosit of a telephone to order the family supplies would go to the market amd learn what foods are cheap, and what are dear, there would be less of this kind of talk. As I have said helore, the high cost of living is the cost of liv ing high." Mr. Hill depied that there is any industrial and finsncial ameasiness over the attitude of the government toward corporations. Asked to what he attributed the depression of the stock market, he answered laconically, "Hysteria." : spas GOVERNMENT OF CHINA. Out Petition for Establishment of Parlia- ment Denled.

TOLERANCE OF AMERICANS, Gomez Tries to Make Peace--Only Partly Successful, However Political Party Being Formed. Havana, Jan. 31.--Fears of a race conflict, growing out of the recent disorders resulting from the refusal of the management of the principal Am- erican hotel in Havana to entertain negroes, have in a very great measure abated, and the possibilities for fur ther trouble from this partigular source - have practierlly disappeared. For a few days the situation was threatening and 'there was a strong underourrent of indignation among the negroes, which, 1t was feared, might not be kept in cheek. That it not only was restrained, but that the difficulty, for the present ai any rate, was suo ully smoothe! over, mainly due to the personal efforts of President Gomez. The president sent his secretary to confer with the management of the hotel, and summoned to the palace General Cebreco and other negro lead- o:8, with whom he conferrod personal lv. He pointed out 1hat the intrusion men where their presénce was not desired was undignified and merely served to rouse the animosity of Americans, with whom it was high- ly desirable that all Cubans should remain on friendly terme. He also re minded them how much the prosperity of the city of Havana was dependent upon the mimber of American tour ists, whom any danger of social dis onders would certainly deter from coming. It was explained that the people had no animosity toward men of eolor, hut that they were com- pelled to recognise the prejudices of tha patrons of the hotel, 1" Newmarket, Ont, Jin, 31.--K "sed | from |: 'grade Polish WEATHER PROBABILITIES, Toronto, Oat.
