Sweeping us backwards from our; own century across the dizzy chasm of time, eighty-five thousand years wide; the lecturer deposits us among Neanderthal men first of all, long en- ough to show wus the difference, in physique and attainment, between this {ype and the higher Cromagnon man whose period was from twelve to twenty-five thousand years ago. Touching on the glacial] periods as ' chronological landmarks, the lecturer enlightens us as to the different stages of prehistoric art in its advancing forms--statuary, high-relief, bas re- lief, engraving, and etched color work. In the execution of the latter, the artists even stuffed hollow bones with mineral and vegetable colors, antedat- of Winsor Some- times the bone was broken off the hardened colors to form an early "counterpart for our modern crayons " and pastels. The flattening out from statuary to plain etching was due to the extinction of the woolly mammoth whose tusks provided a medium of uniform texture clear to the core, and when bone be- i came the medium, shallow carving was | "de rigeour" on account of the spongy "interior of the shoulder blades, ete., which were employed. The advance from single figures to groups was wel] illustrated, and the accomplishments of the entire number of these Neolithic masters are fitting menuments to the thoughtful-eyed -'Cromagnon, whose type portrait com- mands immediate respect for its strong dignity. { We are told he ran as high as six feet three and was much brainier than our own race of to-day. At this point we thought--"twenty thousand years ago! After all it makes no eventual difference if Mussolini does covet the Italian crown!" if the lecture of Dr O'Donohue' is the first dish of the menu presented by the University Extension Course, we may well smack our intellectual lips in anticipation of our feast so Hels. begun.

At about 2.30 Saturday afternoon, while the father was asleep between shifts at the mill, Mrs Boyle was alarmed by the crying of the five months old baby, Harold, to find that he had been given a drink of oil of wintergreen by his brother Stanley, two and a half years of age. Calling her husband, the doctor was sent for, although probably it was not at first vealized that there was actual danger. also showed painful symptoms, in- creased efforts were made to counter- # act the effects of the irritant they had swallowed, which is described as an analgesic and is commonly used as a liniment in cases of rheumatism, ete. - Under the direction of Dr. Morison, every possible remedy was employed, but the large quantity taken, and the lungs as well as the stomach being affected, inevitably overcame the child- ren, the younger dying within a few hours, and the elder on Monday morn-] ing. « A wave of sympathy for the bereav- ed parents has stirred the whole com- munity. After a short service conducted by the Rev. S. N. Dixon, the little ones were buried side by side, Wednesday, in Dryden cemetery.
