Quebec, April 18.--Good Friday brought death and suffering to a fam- ily at Breakeyville, near Levis, when three lives were snuffed out and seven others menaced by a disastrous fire which utterly destroyed the modest home of William Ramsay, a farmer, who'seven short' years ago came from Glasgow, Scotland, to make his home here. The dead are William Ramsay, aged 48 years; his wife, aged 50 years, and their elder son, Willie, aged 18 years.

Similarly, though perhaps in less striking fashion, water-power has stimulated and supported mining. Gold, silver, nickel, and other mineral- properties have ylelded very {ebstattial outputs and in many cases large scale operations, which alone make the difference hetween profit and loss, would have been impossible with- out ample hydraulic energy at rela- tively low cost. Many mines are so placed geographically that the cost of rail haul on coal or untreated ore would be prohibitive but, with hy- draulic installations at or near the mines, they can be worked and the product so concentrated as to permit profitable . operations. Extensive electro-chemical and electro-metallur- glcal industries have been established in Canada through the attraction of exceptional power advantages. Among such products commercially produced in Canada and using hydraulic energy in their manufacture are aluminum, phosphorus, carbide, carborundum, cyanide, caustic soda, chlorine, arti ficial graphite, ete. Bins Artificial Moonlight Planned to Remove London Shadows A scheme looking toward the flood- ing of the whole inner area of London with artificial moonlight after night- fall will be brought before the Insti- tute of Public Light Engineers, which has just been organized here. The plan calls for flood lighting of the city from eight powerful constellations of elec- tric lights, which would surmount steel towers 500 feet high, distributed over a wide area. Supporters of the scheme say the present method of lighting great cities by thousands of small electric lamps involves an enormous waste of light, due to the rays hitting the sides of houses and shops before their full power is exhausted. Adoption of the new scheme, it is said, would result in better lighting and make London practically shadow- less, as well as cutting the cost of {lluminating the city's 2,223 miles of streets, which as at present lighted by the system of individual lamps costs almost £1,000 nightly. --------r-- Nationalities in 1921 Canadian rarer vas 41,107,817 294,630 126,196 117,609 107,671 Dutch pa Austrian ........0 Ukranian ......... 108,721 Russian ......000.. 100,064 lle ll Whether the pitcher strikes the stone or the stone the pitcher, it is bad for the pitcher. ----pn The value of production of fisheries long time, the savants spent a whole|ed by the French Government, which . : week recently examining a eertainis, 'however, strongly 'opposed to giv- of Prince Edward Island in 1923 was $1,754,866, an increase over the pre- thrown from the ambulance by the | One hundred and fifty more are ex- shock of the collision. wierd ig from Chicago and 100 from 5b number of neo-oFisis which are ing soldjors the right to vote.
