If the rotary | converter was installed on the com- pany's property across the street there would be a further cut in the | cost of production.

There dre more than a dozen dif- ferent offences for which a British soldier may be sentenced to death while on active service, The first on the list' of death of- fences applies to a commanding of- ficer and reads, "Shamefully deliy ering up a garrison when in com- mand of troops, without due neces- sity--punishment, death." A soldier can pe shot for throwing away his rifle in the presence of the enemy, for cowardice, or for leaving his commanding officer in order to plunder. If he forces his way past a sentry on active service he may be sentenced to death, or for assaulting anyone bringing up provisions for the troops. Soldiers are expressly forbidden | while on active service to commit any offence against a resident of the country in which he is fighting un- der pain of death, nor may he break into any house in search of plunder, or discharge his rifle intentionally te create a false alarm on the march. A soldier while acting as sentry who is found sleeping at his post may be shot. Any man causing or join: ing in a mutiny is liable to be shot Desertion or attempt at desertion while on active service is naturally a death sentence.

Rey. William Graham, priest of St. | Patrick's Roman Catholic Church | has refused to accept legacies left| him by relatives in Sidney, Australia, and Bolivia, South America, aggre- gating between $12,000,000 and $15,000,000, He gave as his rea- som that he is too old to be burdened | with such immense wealth, as he is sixty years of age, and he has enough of this world's goods to see him through life, Father Graham said: "It may seem strange that I should say this, but I still sleep better than | Know the solicitors have taken my refusal seriously and finally and cease to consider me in the distribu- tion of the wealth. I have long known that uncles of mine, named Murphy and Hughes, lived in Aus- tralia, apd that they were possessed of vast landed estates and immense herds of cattle, pigs and horses, and that I was the nearest of kin. Also that 1 had several step-uncies named Grabam at Bolivia, who are said to be immensely wealthy and childless, out I never knew any of them per- sonally, and; in fact never communi- cated with them in any manner. Why, then, even if I was disposed to pile up this world's goods, should I wccent any of the inheritance they ave left?" 10.--The "Belladonna. Plasters," Gibson's.
