Burlington, Vi., Nov 4. --Four- een residents have died, and more aie dying, at the little .viilags of Bristol, about thirty miles from here ag the result of drinking poisonous whiskey purchased at the drug store of Dr. D. A, Bisbee. He has been placed under arrest. Bristol, as well as the surrounding territory, is supposed to be *dry," and no liquor is sold legally. Dr. Bisbee has been carrying on an extensive business, and has twice been arrested and con victed. Because he is the only one engaged in the business it has beef the habit of the farmers to lay in a supply for Sunday, and it is the Sunday supply. which did the work on this occasion. * The-first case which was noticed by the authorities was that of Fred. O'Brien, of Bristol, who was taken svddenly ill on Sunday morning, and whose death occurred a few hours later. Ernest Duprey, of New Hav- en, and Edward Wakefield, of War- ren, died soon afterwards.

Canada Mas Large Quantities of It In Her Asbestos Mines, The gift of Sir Thomas Lipton of a model in serpentine stone of his new racing yacht has revived interest in the beautiful stone, which some years ago was much in vogue. Serpentine is often found in con- junction with asbestos. Canada pro- duces about nine-tenths of the world's production of asbestos, which is largely used for insulating pur- poses-and also for weaving into fire- proof cloth. In the Province of Quebec are to be found the largest asbestos mines in Canada. The production is large, and it is interesting to note that whereas in 1909 the exports of crude asbestos were valued at $1,758,057, in 1913 the figures had increased to $2,486,769. ; And in the same province are also to be found some of the world's most' beautiful deposits of segpentine. It was in 1846 that Queen Victoria and the Prince Comsort, when on a wisit te Cornwall, Eng., were shown specimens of serpentine, which they admired so much that several large pedestals made of this stone were or- dered for Osborne House. The ' patronage thus. secured brought serpentine into considerable fashion, and among others who at that time favored it were the Mar- quis of 'Westminster, who ordered a pair of Luxon obelisks 14 feet in height; the Hon. Pemberton Lee, who, bought the first and finest chimney- piece ever made in this material; and the then Duke of Devonshire, who had several large pedestals and pilasters, unequalled for beauty and color, made for his sculpture gallery at Chatsworth. Duritg the rather short-lived boom in serpentine which followed, a man- ufactory on a large scale of a great variety of household and domestic ornaments, etc., was started at Pen- zance, which afterwards passed into the hands of a London company. Serpentine was exhibited 'at the ex- hibitions of 1851 and 1862, and was awarded medals on both occasions. Serpentine, it may be mentioned, gets its name from the variety of the colors which it presents. These cal- ors are of the most beautiful and variegated description imaginable, black and greem, perhaps, predomi- nating, with a frequent mixture of diallage; but the choicest sorts are generally considered to be those which show the greatest number of tints, and chromatic combinations are as various and many as the figures in a kaleidoscope. Some when cut and polished shine with a metallic green lustre on a red- dish base. Then there is a rich jet black, a purple, a brown, a red, crim~ son, and bronze, and a cream-colored, striped, dappled, or variously imter- { mixed and blended with one or gther tints. It well deserves the name of Rainbow Stone. Several of the finest bank and other bufldings in Canada are heauti- fied by columns, pillars, panels, or floorings of this beautiful and vari- colored stone, which takes a perfect- ly exquisite polish. Marvellous Winnipeg. There is probably no better exam- ple of continued civic prosperity in the world to-day than the city of Winnipeg. Not merely the assuring prospect . of prosperity maintained, but prosperity that has doubled and quadrupled every record of advance- ment in the civic life during the past few years. With approximately 200,000 peo- ple, Winnipeg builds more in a year and transacts annually business to an extent greater than most cities of . twice the populition. No ity of 200,000 can beat the building and banking figures. The remarkable increase in assess- ment values in Winnipeg is striking evidence of the rapid development of | the city. Winnipeg's total realty has an estimated value this year of $259 - 419,530. Ten years ago the total as- sessment was $28,615,810. The true index of 'the material pro- gress and wealth of a city is the list of new buildings. Over $6,000,000 is the record for th2 first five months in 19t4--=Iast year the figures were $18,357,150-~in 1912 over $20,500,- 000 went iro new buildings and so on, the pst five years' total exceed- ing $84,000,000. This does not take into account some $30.000,000 spent in new buildings in the immediate suburbs. Winnipeg has five turn-over amounting to over $150,- 900,000, and only at the beginning of things. \ 8s 25 i i has f 7 F ok s g i E i I Letters To Germany and Austria Un- Mail communications between Cane ada and Germany or Austria are un der a ban guite as rigid as that which now blockades the transatlantic tele and authority has been given to ex- amine the contem{s andi{9-hdld the der fully responsible forthe char acter of the message, says The Toron- to Star Weekly. The activities at the local postofiice in sifting out forbidden correspon- dence have been directed mainly at the mass of mail sent by Canadians to relatives in Germany and Austria. Strange to say, the news that the countries concerned were in & state of war did not prevent hundreds of peo ple froth attémpting to continue their | letter-writing according to their pre- vious customs. Every . . in the week letters are sorted qut of the mail bags gathered from all parts of the city, upon which' censors must pass their judgment. The procedure in the great majority of casés is to open the suspected let~ ters and carefully scrutinize their contents. If \regarded as innocent they are, returned: ta: tholr senders) with a printed explanation of the e+ tion taken by the authorities. Some of these have been re-posted, only to meet the same barrier and the same official refusal. On npiore than one occasion the mail censors have come @cross let- ters which justified a detailed exam- ination. On such communications they have goné so far as to gather in- formation respecting the sender, his local occupation, "nationality, and character, It is stated, however, that in no instance has an arrest been found necessary. Obviously a train- ed German or Austrian spy would not jeopardize his budget of secret infor- mation by any such clumsy device as using the regular postoffice facili- ties. What reasonable information has proceeded out of Canada to date has been delivered undoubtedly by personal messengers. Rumors have persistently stated that full details of the training camp at Valcartier are remitted to the Kaiser's headquatrers by way of the long distance wirel station at Sayville, L.1., and whether or not the rumor is occurate it is practically impossible-to place an em- barge on military intelligence which local sympathizers might like to send tp German quarters. A way out of thik censorship .on outgoing Canadian mail. has occa~ sionally been found by seeking the aid of friends living in the United States, who might -be able. to. utilize the United States mdil services to foreign points. This process, how- ever, is surrounded with specfal dif- ficulties, and is,workable in only a very small percentage of pases. Attempts to circumvent the Post- office Department's" ¢ fahip' Limve betrayed not a little ingenuity. By addressing letters to. points in Hol- land pome have postofiice indirectly with the system, which is in normal between these two countries., Even this, however, has been banned as ir- regular and Canadians with relatives in Holland have found their letters included in this same general order. In normal times considerable sums of money have. besn remitted through The local postoffices by Gali- cians, Bulgarians, and other foreign- ers to their: families' back in their native countries. Befora the war, this remittance monéy found a route through German and Austrian agen- cies, but with the interruption of fin- ancial relations a great proportion of the postal remittances were held back indefinitely. It is said that thousands of dollars have been deposited inthe postoffice savings banks awaiting a more favorable opportunity for trans- ference to countries of continental Europe. Canada Loses Professor. Dr. J. B. Leathes, Professor of Pathological Chemistry in the Uni- versity of Toronto, has been appoint- ed Professor of Physiology in the University of Sheffield,. Much regref is felt at the wuniyersity ower Dr. Leathes' depending departure, as hid scholarship has heen a strength to the medical and scientific depart ments. Although a man only in early middle lite, his career has already been brilliant. He came to Canada from London, England, where he was pathological chemist in the Listes Tustitute. Dr. Leathes is one of the four F, R. 8.'s at Toronto University, the ethers being Dr. MacCallum, and Dr. Brodie, of the Medical Faculty, and Dr. Coleman, of the School of Science. Mrs. Leathes, Russian lady and an ardent advocate of bas taken a leading part in a ber of women's organiza: tions in Toronto. Her departure will also be much regreted.

The immense production at Nia gara Falls of carbide of calcium, the curious artificial stone which, when bathed in water, gives off .acetylane gis, recalls that this substance wag) first manufectured in Ameries hy accident, through the me : operations of T. L. Wilson, who now lives in Ottawa. While using lime- stone and salt in smelting near a small stream, he noticed among the melted slag which day by duy rap nearer to the brink of the "little stream, a greyish-white substance pew in his experience, but thought little of it until one day the molten slag overhung the water and began to flow into it. Then suddenly a bright, white flame burst out of the molten mass and enveloped it for some time, He drew from the dry slag some of the strafige mi and touched a match to it, butywith- out result. Then "he poured ebme water upon it, and at the next trial the liberated acetylene gas broke into flame.
