Sitting help- less in a chair at No. 1,326 South Spangler street, paralyzed hand and foot, Mrs. Charles Griffith saw her fifteen-months-old child, Hazel, take a box containing strychnine pills from the table and laughingly begin to put them in her mouth. The mother screamed, but the baby apparently liking the taste of the first pill, took a second.

Her hand clasped the pill box. The top came off and the mother realized the danger. She vainly called to the child not to touch the pills.

The annual veport of the Ontario bureau 'of mines received says: "3 bountiful supply of potash is contain- ed in the feldspar deposits at Verona and elsewhere on the line of the Kingston & Pembroke railway, this material containing as much as thir teen or fourteen per cent. of potash. The difficulty is that no feasible me- thod has yel been discovered for converting the contained potash into soluble form. It has been stated that finely pplverized feldspar, when applied directly to the ground, will part potash, though slowly, and thus act as a fertilizer. With the view of ascertaining the value of ground feld- spar, a quantity from the deposits of the Kingston Feldspar and Mining company has been forwarded to the Ontario Agricultural College at Guelph where experiments will be conducted by the authorities of that institu sioon."
