Quebge, June 29-- When the court of inquiry into the Empress disaster was reconvened after lunch, Satur- day, Lord Mersey asked Mr. Aspinall who was to reply to Mr. Haight, whe- cher there was any suggestion that both the officers of the Storstad and the Empress were to blame, As he understood it, Mr. Aspinall claimed that the Storstad's witnesses "had told deliberate lies, while Mr. Haight aad made a similar accusation again- st the Empress witnesses. Mr. Aspinall said that he thought the commission, in view of the way the whole evidence had been devot- 3d to proving one ship or the other blameworthy, would be slow in adopting the middle course of hold- ing that both ships were in error. Mr. Aspinall then examined Mr. Haight's argument that Capt. Ken- dall lost his head. after the steering gear had collapsed. He argued that Mr. Haught had tried to prove that the machinery of the vessel was faulty and if he had done so he could not at the same time argue that Capt Kendall was to blame. If the steering gear had given way why should Capt. Kendall come before the commission and perjure himself? He would not be to blame. In re- gard to the steering apparatus, apart from the testimony which proved, he thought that it was in good order, it was incredible that any captain would allow such a thing to go un- mentioned while the vessel, which would under the conditions be a hor- rible monster, sailed thousands of miles and endangered the lives of hundreds of passengers. Mr. Haight defined the accident as absolutély inexcusable. The whole world wanted to know who was re- sponsible, and Mr. Haight unhesitat- ingly fixed the blame on the ship which, while running through a fog, changed her course. That ship, he argued, was the "Fiapress of [Ire- land." Edmund L. Newcombe, acting on behalf of the Dominion government, said that he thought the known facts were not inconsistent with the belief that both the officers of the Storstad and the Bmpress were teli- ing the truth and were not attempt- ing to mislead the court. Mr. Newcombe contended that there had been faults on both sides. The Storstad should never have ported her helm and the Empress should never have stopped right in the course of the other side when she could haye gone safely on. The commission concluded its la- bors as far as the hearing of eviden- ce and the addresses of counsel are concerned Saturday afternoon, and this week will deliberate in private upon what finding shall be rendered. A Lapsus Linguae. Canadian Courier. A priminent newspaperman in To- ronto tells a good story. He is a huge man---both ways. When he was in England he went to Clovelly, in Devon, where, at the bottom of a steep declivity you aycatch a glim- pse of the sea. The newspapermin. who leans to- wards fatness, toile: down to the bottom of the rocks and got the view Then he looked at the steep road which he had to climb to get back. A native of the place came along, and the newspaperman complained to the old villager that there should be some motor or traction care run ring up the cliffs. Said the villager: "When the Al mighty put those cliffs there He didn't expect people to be so lazy they would complain about climbing up and down. Besides, we don't want any motors with their oil and stench we 'don't want any rocks railway with their petrol and smell: In fact, sir, we don't want any vernacular traffic of any kind!" 10,000 IDLE MEN. Majority of Them Are Bulgarians, Russians and Austrians. * Montreal, June 29-Ten thousand able-bedied 'men. . are walking the streets in Montreal, unable to obtain employment. The vast majority of them are Bulgarians, Russians and Austrians, comparatively recent ar- rivals, but there are many from England and Scotland also. These immigrants are being brought in by the boat load, and the congestion is becoming worse from week to. week, The situation 'is regarded as serious, considering that it is not mid-sum- mer yet, and what the autumn and winter will bring forth is a problem that few citizens care to anticipate.

Bishop's Wood to be Built Upon. London, England, June 29---One of the few remaining semi-rural dis- tricts of the metropolis adjoining Hampstead Heath is doomed to be torn down and built over. The Earl of Mansfield is negotiating for the sale of the part of the famous Ken- wood estate, while the neighboring courses are to be placed on the mar- Ket when thé leases expire. Kenwood was' the seat of the celebrated judge, Lord Jdansfield, who died there in 1793.

During his bandit days he went one afternoon with a few of ais faithful followers to a ranch. near the town of Santa Rosalia. This ranch was owned by a Mr Gunther, a Belgian~and a naturaliz- ed American citizen who had marr:- ed a Mexican woman renowned for her beauty and spirit. Mr. Gunther raised the finest - racing horses in Mexico and these were the object of Villa's visit. Arrived at the ranch he was informed that the owner was a- way, whereupon he instructed a se vant to. anfiounce him to Mrs, -Gun- ther.

July, MANY LESSONS IN SAFETY, OTH- ERWISE UNTHOUGHT OF. to feaze this toughened brigand. vil- Steamship Companies Have Introdu- | Who go round at night in all parts ced Preéautions Formerly Thought Unnecessary--Stringeht Rules for Navigation in Fog. ; The sinking of the Titanic on Ap- ril 15, 1912, resulted in an interna- tional conference on safety of life at sea, meeting in London in December 1913. After drawing up a number of ar- ticles for improving the standard re-! gulations for safety of life at sea, the conference terminated on Jan; 20, 1914, after the protocol had * been signed by the representatives of four- teen of the great maritime nations | and scheduled to become 19715. he These recommendations are now pending before the United States senate in Washington, owing to the fight made by the steamship eom- panies, both American and foreign, on the ground thatsome of the new rules contained in the protocol sign- ed by the members ofthe confer- ence would be injurious to the ser: vice, and in some eases impossible to carry out. + Following the fogs of the ' Tifanic there have been twe other greet maritime disasters in" which there has been serious Moss of life----thé burning of the Uranium Line steam- law in er Volturno on Oct, 10, 1913, and the | sinking of the Empress of Ireland on Friday, May 29. Without waiting for the new regu- lations to come into force, the Af- lantic steamship companies "have taken every precaution in their potv- er to insure the safety of the lives of those whe travel on their steam- ers, and in these 'they have 'been supported by the hearty co-operation of the governments 'of the United | States and Great Britian. The most important. innovation so far has been the ice patrol establish- ed along the routes taken by the bergs when they float down the north . toward the steamship lanes. Timely warnings are given to captains of liners when they are ap- proaching a dangerous zone. Two Ships on Patrol. The two vessels employed on ice patrol, the Seneca and Miama, from March 1, to the end of July, are equipped with wireless ap- this paratus and send reports daily to the | Hydrographic Bureau in New York of ice conditions. These reports are sent to the steamship companies. In addition, individual notices are sent to the different ships at sea. Another step toward protecting life at sea has beem made by build-} ing new ships with double bottoms! divided into compartments by trans- verse and longitudinal bulkheads which carry right through to the main deck, so that in case a ship's { able. hull is pierced by an feeburg like the New York Board of Education has Titanic, was, shé weuld not fouder, | visited some of them, and is so im- at least for mamy hours, by which time her passengers and crew could have been saved ip the boats.

DEY OF EDEN. Discovery of Utmost Importance in Bibical and Archaeological Circles is Reported. 3 London, June 25---The Times an- nounces that a discovery of the ut- most importance in biblical archaeo- logy, has just been made by Dr. Lan- gdon, Professor of Assyriology of Jesus College, Oxford, who has found among the early Babylonian tablets disinterred at Nippur a true pre-se- mite account of the deluge. It is des- cribed as "clearly the original of that presented in the book of Genesis." + The same tablet contains a refer- ence tothe fall of man, read about 4 by his eating a certain fruit. This [Abarat eapaile of sending rein the first reference to the fall ! 5 i found. in Babylonian literature. The rhe.

Ppur, 'and is n is observed by of others at the Museum of Pennsyl- vania University at Philadelphia. . Last October Dr. Langdon visited the museum and copied the inscrip- tions of about fifty tablets of the Nippur collection. One of these tab- lets is engraved with a hymn to Nimpud who in the Babylonian le- gend is the ereatress of man. 'The hynin contains the Babylonian ver- sion "of the flood and, in contrast with the famous "Chaldean account of the deluge" discovered by George Smith in 1872, agrees with the bibli- cal account in naming a patriarch, who saved the world from a catas- trophe by reason of his piety. It further agrees with the biblical narrative in making him a gardiner or agriculturalist, and in the dura- tion of nine months assigned to the flood. The name of the patriarch is given as Tagtog--the semitic "Nuhu"' It is related that after the flood Noah became "like the gods" which is interpreted to mean that he re- ceived the gift of extraordinary longevity. The version says that Caones (Babylonian for the God Enki, the water god) taught Noah the secret of things revealed to him and the wisdom possessed by the gods. With this revelation the tab- let breaks off, It is notable that this "revelation" of wisdom is related by "Bero As- sus," a Babylonian historian, who wrote in the time of Nebuchadnezzar. After a great Indian inscriptian there occurs = remarkable story of the fall of man, his punishment be- ing the loss of effectual life or of longevity because he ate of the tree- of life. The story includes the conten tion between the greatness of man, and Ninqul and her husband Enlil. The beginning of the story of the fail is broken off. It is noted that, as dis- tinctive from the biblical narrative, it'is Noah not- Adam who is temptea and falls. | Wireless Precautions. {In order that there should be an jopportunity for the operators to hear distress calls 'sent out without 'amy. interruption by commercial { messages, the companies close down their wireless apparatus on their Steamers for commercial purposes every night from 10 to 12 o'clock.
