Geaige A. Cox, senator, and until recently pre sident of The Canada Life, Tasaranee company, and director of many other financial - institutions, died this morning, at 5.30 o'clock, of harden: ing of the arteries. He had been ill mote or less for some time, but was out about ten days ago. « Bemator Cox was of English des cent, his family having come to the United States from the old country in 1810. Light years later they te- moved to Canada, first taking up land in Prince Edward and afterwards in Northumberland county, Ontario. The late senator was born at Co- bourg in 1830. Bducated there ho commenced life as an operator in the 'service of the Montreal Telegraph Co. But in 1858 he was transfer: red to Peterboro, in charge of the company's office there. In that city he revided for thirty years and all through life was greatly interested in its prosperity, taking an active part in the direction of some of ite ndus- tries and municipal and educational affairs. He was mayor for seven vears. In 1871 Mr. Cox stepped from the municipal into the political field, and wom when he contested for the legislature the riding of West Peter boro against the late W. H. Seoft. But he was later defeated for the lo- cal house as well ag the House of Commons by small majorities. The late semator soon became inter- ested in enterprises of interest to the country at large, and in 1878 he be- came president of the Midland rail- way of Canada, a position which he held until 1884, when he resigned. During his term of dflice a great amal- gamation took place, the Grand June- son, the Whitby and Port Perry, the Victoria and the Toronto and Nipis- sing railways, all being consolidated, the system thus created being sold to the Grand Trunk, Jn the eighties he was ope of the Howland syndicate who offered to build the C.P.R. He became president of the Central Can- ada Loan and Savings company, a di- rector, and later president, of the Ca- nadian Bank of Commerce. Since 1864 he had been prominently identified with the Canada Life Assurance: com- pany, the presidency of which he held for some years. In 1881 he became a director of the Western Fire and Ma. rine Insurance company, and in 1894 succeeded to the presidency of that in- stitution. He was one of the first di- rectors of the Toronto ereral Trusts company, organized in 1884, He had to do with a number of other institutions. He lived in Toronto since 1888, The deceased was a strong temper- ance man and of the Methodigt per- suasion in religion. In confunction with Rev. Dr. Potts, he was bursar of Victoria University, im which univer sity he established a gold medal in science and 'a bumsary in theology. He was also president of the Ladies Col- lege, Whitby; a member of the council of the Toronto branch of the Evangel ical Allinnce, one of the founders of the Dominion Sanitarium and an offi- cer of the Ontario Prohibition alliance. Politically, a liberal, he was appoint: ed to the senate of Canada by the Earl of Aberdeen in 1806. His first marriage took place in Peterboro, in. 1862, and four children survive; his olderst son, Edward Ww. Cox being' the new president. of Can- ada life. Mrs. Cox died in 1905. Sen- ator Cox married Miss Amy Sterling, of Toronto, in 1909, TO MAKE ANOTHER EFFORT To Get Canseway Contractor to Com. ply With Later Scaler The local Trades and Labor coun- cil will make "another effort to heve the contractors on the causeway com- ply with 'the government scale and conditions of labor, which, it claims, is not the cave. A committes was appointed to again interview the city and county members in the federal house on the matter. With referegce to the matter of pri- son labor the council decided to leave it in the hands of the exeon- tive of the Dominion Trades and Labor Congress. A circular was received from the or the sympathy of the labor men in Canada in their strike. e council took no defmite<action but left it with the local unions.

James Buckland, who is fighting for a law in England to prevent the traffic in plumes for hats, calls women who wear feathers on their hats "scented barbarians." He is caustic in his ar- raignment of women who would have birds killed to supply them with van- ity decorations. '"The befeathered Herodias,"" says he, "cannot plead she arts in ignorance. The truth is that, for all their boasted refinement, some tle else than scented barbarians. They are in such utter bondage to vanity as to be at the mercy of every whim of fashion, and when fashion decrees that feathers shall be worn they a absolutely . without conseience or feel ing, hs treatment of their victims is concerned," : The writer also . attacks woman's ideas of art in clinging to feathers as an artistic adornment. He says: "Feathers as a personal embellish- ment appeal to her only because they are harbaric. What woman but one without cultivation of mind would imagine that she was beautifying her- self by carrying about her person the sorpse of 4 bird? To one of matured understanding, who is not usually en- amored of the suggestion of death, a woman who exhibits such raw percep- tion of the beautiful excites no other feeling than ome of pity and con- tempt." The Sothern Seas. Readers of old records of explora tion in the South Seas will recall ire. quent references to the heavy swells of the geean,. which impressed the navigators with the idea of their re. motenass from Jand. Doctor Vaughan Cornish explains the great size of the sea waves. in. high. southern latitudes by the fact that south of the Cape of Good Hope the prevailing wind in all longitudes is westerly: us when a west. wind springs up it finds a long 'westerly swell, the effect of a previeus wind, still runding. The new born wind increases thie" steepness of thi swell, and so forms majestic stor waves, which sometimes obtain a length of 1,200 feet from erest to erest, The average height aitdined by sea wave in feet is about hall the velocity of the wind in-miles per hour.

PLUNGED INTO FURNACE Rar> Heroism Was Displayed by Les. ter Brooks, Port Colborne, Ont., Jan. 15.~0One | hero, Lester Brooks, (formerly of King- .ston), lost his life, and two others, {Jack McCracken and Charles Guidette narrowly missed death when trying to rescue the former who had jumped in- to the bell of a heated blasting fur nace at the Canadian Furnace Co.'s plant heve Tuesday night, in an effort to rescue an Hungarian laborer named Joseph Postico, who had slipped into the furnace while caulking ore. The story of their heroism is almost with- out precedent in the annals of*Cana- dian industrial development. The crude ore had"become frozen at the summit of the furnace, and Lester Brooks, who had charge of the night gang, told Postico to go aloit and force it into the upper bell, By some. means or other, which may never. be explained, the Hungar: ian missed his footing and sli ped down into the heated chamber. Hene- ing his pearcing cry, Brooks rushed to one of the dampers, 12 feet below the roof of the dome, and jumped into the awful chamber, with a vain hope of saving Postico's life, but he, like the Hungarian, went to instant death. The men were burned and asphyxiated. Following their chief, the remainder of the night gang working nearby rushed to the door through which : Brooks had disappeared, but the fumes | threw them back. Buooks and Postico lay prostrate on the ore, but out of réach of willing hands.
