FIRST ELECTRIC LIGHT The remark by a Toronto profess- or that Edison was not the inventor of electric light may surprise a number of people, but that is quite‘ true. The first electric lamp was pro-‘ duced by Sir Joseph Swan, who was born at Sunderland, England, in 1828. He was a chemical engineer who first achieved success in im- provements in photography. He made a carbon filament lamp as early as 1862, and in 1880 exhibited the first filament vacuum lamp. â€" From the St. Thomas Times-Journal.

CHAIN OF EVIDENCE As for the weight of circumstantial evidence, no hard and fast general rule can possibly be laid down. There is some circumstantial evidence that leaves so many loopholes that it certainly should not be held suf- ficient to convict. There is other circumstantial evi- dence that is actually far more con- vincing than direct evidence. Wit- nesses may so easily mistake what they see, hear, taste, smell or feel;1 they may be unobservant, forget-i ful or biased and so fail to testify correctlY; they may find difficulty in ‘ expressing the exact thought in their ,m'mds; but a plain statement of di- Lrect evidence always sounds very On the other hand, to convince a jury by a chain of circumstantial evidence it must be very complete, linking the accused person with the crime and excluding any reason- able presumption that another could have possibly committed it. Inci- dentally there would be precious .uw-- few criminals convicted if circum- stantial evidence were excluded -â€" Saint John Telegraph-Journal. BURN THE OLD PAPERS There is nothing sacrosamct in old public documents and if the pro- vincial government finds its space cluttered up with an accumulation it should get rid of all those which nave no special historic interest.

Telegraph editors like to make be- lieve they are a terribly hard-boiled 'lot. but really, so our friend The Ottawa. Journal tells us, they are “just bundles of sentiment at heart." The Ottawa J qua-ml reaches this conclusion because of the choice of the telegraph editors of Canada of “the best news story of 1934." Pretty nearly unanimously, it seems, they said the best news story was that of the Dionne babies. It just shows you, thinks The Ottawa Journal (which still unfalteringly applauds their choice), what a lot of likeable human softies they real- ly are. ' Reaflyy between you and us, it doesn’t matter about the telegraph editors. They are like each other only in the matter of their all being telegraph editors. They are as di- verse otherwise as all other human creatures are. They happen to be likeable softies because it happens to take a good deal of human kind- ness to sit, as they do in the way of earning their living at a daily inquest into the incomprehensibly mingled magnanimxities and mean- nesses, the splendors and miseries of this our human life. They knew the story of the Dionne babies was the best story by a sort of instinct, immeasurably beyond and superior to all judg- ment, which relates them to the fellow creatures whose doings are the raw material of their trade. Let us have no further mention of “bundles of sentiment" here. What else is that curious creature, “down to Gehenna or up to the Throne.” whichâ€"«because even the telegraph editors haven’t been able to find a better name for himâ€"-we call man? -Vancouver Province. THE PEPPER GOT TOO HOT 1 Markets were rudely shaken re-‘ cently by one of the recurring disâ€" turbances which come as a reminder of the dangerous elements that lie beneath the surface of trade and finance. The history of business life affords many examples of “booms" and “slumps" on the Stock Exchange which have had far-reaching con- sequences.

THE DOMINIONS AND DEFENCE Mr. Pirow, the Minister of De- fence in the Union of South Africa, has made a very frank and outâ€" spoken declaration as to that Dom- inion’s attitude to Imperial defence. The Union, he said, is unwilling to participate in any general scheme worked out by Great Britain. Mr. Pi- row laid some stress on the risk of internal trouble or even civil conflict which might arise if the Union Gov- ernment should “attempt rashly to commit the country to participation in a future oversea war." The policy which he outlined is in general ac- cord with British expectations. No one in this country wishes to drag South Africa into war against the will of her people. It is for them to decide their line of action if a crisis should arise. This is the principle which Great Britain has always ac- cepted. She did not call upon Canada and Australia to aid her in 1899 or 1914. but left it to the free choice of their citizens. 'sue genueman behind the bush ‘3 off.

SMALL CAR OR MOTOR CYCLE Within the past year there has been a decline of over 14,000 in the number of motor bicycles in use in Great Britain. This fall has been ac- companied by a rise of almost 50,000 in the number of light cars licensed. In the Saorstat there were over 7,- 700 motor cycles in 1926; by 1932 this total had fallen by over 2,000 Evidently the small car threatens the popularity of the motorcycle. “The boom of 1929 was chiefly due to too much credit money and the depression to too little credit."â€" Irving Fisher. “If every age has its own charac- teristic doctrine, there are a. thous- and signs which point to Fascism as the characeristic doctrine of our time.”â€"â€"Benito Mussolli. “I am sure that the fertility of the human mind cannot, like pigs, be restrained from production by law or subsidies.”â€"â€"0wen L.
