"RIDAY,- JULY 15, 1921, THE LATE DR. R. ABBOTT His Death at Amherstburg, ; Ont., Brings Forth Great Sorrow. Amherst Echo. Amherstburg and surrounding dis- | trict was deeply evening, profoundly shocked and sorrow stricke.. Thursday -oharetburg"s well known bad passed away at Hotel Dieu, The Echo «contained a brief reference to his sudden selzure with gall stone trouble and his removal Thursday morning to Hotel Dieu. There about 2.30 that-afternoon.Dr. W ret, of Detroit, and Dr. P. A. Dewar, ° of Windsor, performed an operetion, but found the condition so grave that .little hope of recovery was held out. The doctor passed away without re- gaining consciousness, The remains were brought to Amhers tburg"'s night, with friends trom far and near offer- ing consolation and expressions of sympathy. Funeral services were held Sunday aftérnoon, a vast crowd of representative citizens from town and country gathering to pay their last respects. Large delegations from Thistle Masonic and Rose Oddfellows' lodges attended and carried out their | ritualistic seryicea both -at the home | and graveside. ' The burial service for the dead was recited in Christ church by Rev. H. A. Wright, rector, the sacred edifice being crowded, and the remains were laid to rest in | Rose Hill cemetery, the pallbearers being B, P, Overholt, F.t A, Hough, W. S. Falls, A. W. Marsh, FP. W. Hass, Geo, Gott, The many striking floral emblems bore striking testi- mony to the esteem in which deceas- ed was held by all classes...

Between 1913 and 1920 enormous advances have been made in the 'ef- ciency of 'wireless telegraphy and This is known in a gen- says Col. Chetwode Craw- | in 'Chambers' Journal, but de- talls were much screened by the secrecy of .war. Less power and higher speed of transmission; these are the two new results. How have 'they been achieved? { "It 1s the use of a new means altogether of producing wireless waves," 'say Col, Chetwode Crawley. "The apparatus now proposed is call- ed the three elecirode thermionic an imposing and formidable name for a plece of apparatus which consists essentially of a vacuum | bulb, similar to an electric lamp, but | further the interests of the people] of Comber. He has Commissioner upwards of "seven years, and it 4s needless for us to say that' he: has filled tha position creditably to himself and the county. He was, some four years ago, pointéd a justicd of the peace. The doctor is also a great IdVer of horses, A visit to his barn will repay anyone interested .in fine horses. He has a large number of personal friends throughout the county, and his poli- tical opponents admit he is_a shrewd biisiness man, 'a hard worker and consistent Liberal."s : Dr. Apbott went from Comber to Kingston, where he practised until 1907, when he moved to Amherst burg. Here he became one of our most public spirited citizens, 'He was a member of the public library board for years; chairman-of the high school board for 10 years; president of the Amherstbufg Bowling Club in 1919-1920 and 1921, and active in lending assistance to all enterprises for the upbuilding of the town. Dur- ing the .war, Lieut.-Col, Avbott, he.took an and offered himself for overseas se vice, but jected.

The whole rom of wireless dur- ing the war wrapped up in the development of this little, pieces of apparatus for transmitting and re-| celving messages. "At ¢he ouibreak of war the valve, as .a receiver, was just beginning to emerge from thé experimental stage, but as a transmitter it had only 'en- tered that stage, and was not 'in extensive use as such for the first few years. For receiving purposes it tame into prominent use when the French, early in the war, followed quickly by ourselves, used reading enemy 1ner.ages sent their land-lines to the front-line trenches. "The fact is that the valve can be used not only. as a most sensitive detector of wireless waves, but also as a most efficient sound-magnifier when coupled up, with suitable cir- cuits.

No Such Word as "Speltz" in the English Language. Judging from the number of in- quiries received at the Experimental Far Ottawa, at other agricultural institutions and by the agricultural press, it appears that much con- fusion exists in the minds of the ¢ommunity in regard to Emmer, Spelt and *'Speltz." A few words of - explanation, therefore, seem -desirable. Emmer and sp are closely re- lated cereals whi resemble wheat, but differ from it by retaining the chaff when they are threshed. This retention is due to {wo causes: First, the tightness of the chaff around the kernel, and, second, the brittle- ness of the head, which causes it to break very readily, 2} 3 therefore threshing to extract the Reroels: > There is no such thing "'spelts," e no such nd in the English language. When this word is used common Emmer is the grain which is meant. Conmtmon Emmer Is the most valu- i able of all the varieties of emnrer | and spelt, but it has been foo much | advertised and ised by parties | who had seed for sale. For ordinary | climates it is certainly inferior in ! usefulness to the grains more com- | monly grown. It may, however, prove | valuable in some .cases in very dry districts. It resists drought and rust | better than .ordinary wheats, but it cannot take the' place of these, be- cause the ke®aels do not thresh out | ry Special machinery would have ! be used if it were required to re- moVe the chaff. Emmer, therefore, | | must be compared with other grain and not with wheat. As a rule farm- { | ers will find it more advantageous | | to grow barley or oats than to grow | common Emmer, particularly in elf- | mates wwhere there is a ressghishie) rainfall. The average yield of common) Emmer during the 'last eleven years | on the Central Experimental Farm | at Ottawa, has been a few pounds less than that of the most produc- tive spring wheat, and considerably less than was obtained from the highest yielding varieties of oats and The other Emmers are less pro- ductive, and many of them are coarser than common Emmer. All the spelts are extremely coarse, and cannot be recomuntended for use under any circumstances in Canada. --C. E. Saunders. Dom. Cerealist, .
