' Samples of lquor were taken, two from the Wills' house and one from Mrs. Melnyk's house, and together, with some of the internal organs were sent by Constable Elliott to Professor L. J.

He reported that he found one-fifth of a grain of strych- nine per liquid ounce in the sample designated D-118, and had recovered from the stomach the alkaloid strychnine. Sample D-118 was taken from liquor secured from the Wills' {home by Dr. Herod, and sealed in | his presence and that of Constable Elliot. Dividing Line of Seasons Diminishing in Bermuda Hamilton, Bermuda.--The Der- muda Islands are sometimes called the "Somer's Isles," after Sir George Somers, whose party settled there in 1609, and from this arisen the name "Isles of Summer." This is not a misnomer, because Bermud# is a land "of unending suni- mer, Even in winter the tenmipera- ture is never excessively low nor in summer is it excessivly high. However, until lately there has been a dividing line between the sum- mer and winter seasons, the winter guests leaving during April and the summer guests arriving some weeks later... Now, however, it is quile evi- dent that the lines between the sea- sons are becoming obliterated, so that not only is the summer itself unend- fie in Bermuda, but the summer sea- son or winter season or whatever (one may wish to call it, is more and ! ter. Last summer's season continued right into November and December | without a break, the hotels being full all the time, while this spring saw | a continuation of- Bermuda's popu- larity right through April into May. Unfortunately the steamship com- panies were unable to supply enough | boats to handle the traffic orders, even though extra sailings were re- sorted to in order to relieve the sit- uation. It is expected that by next year at least one more large steam- ship will be in the Bermuda service, | and meanwhile hotel accommodations | are being enlarged to take care of | -------- +t English Family Estates Become Stock Companies | In a few years the large English] family estates, as such, will bo no| more, according to an eminent lawyer associated with the Duke of Port- land's estates.

These estates are of an extent hardly known in America or any | other country.

B. panied by Granville, visited the house | detached province of Canada, Prince Edward Island. By the Indians it '| meaning "Resting on the Wave," probably owing to the prevailing calmness of the surrounding waters and the ity of the atmosph Prince Edward Island is a verit- able garden country of exquisite pas- toral pes, magnificent ocean beaches, splendid country roads, ideal farming acres, a perfect summer cli- mate, well stocked fishing ponds and streams, good churches, schools and harbors. In fact, the Islanders claim that they have more postal facilities, miles of railway, telegraph and tele- phone lines, more rural mail routes and shipping ports per .square mile than any other province in Canada. The first impression of the visitor are described in a small folder re- cently issued hy. the Department. of - the Interior at Ottawa. "The land surface is clothed by a solid verdure intensely green. The shores red as if freshly painted, rise irregularly from the sea in sandy beaches and sandstone bluffs. The roads, which are peculiarly red, too, meander pleasantly and lazily over the rolling slopes and through the valleys. Where the land has been covered by the fer- tilizing mussel mud the tiny pleces of shells glisten and glow in the sunlight like jewelry ablaze. "It is a miracle of transposition: Irish turf on Devon soils under an Italian sky! "A well distributed sprinkiing of woodland groves, old-fashioned vil- lages, stretches of meadow unmar- red by fencing, lazy brooks, wan- dering highways, quaintly colored shores of terra cotta cliffs and slop- ing beaches broken and indented by the irrepressible ocean tides, all help to form a picture of singular charm and loveliness, almost Euro- pean in effect." , Prince Edward Island is 145 miles long and from 4 to 35 miles wide, so that from any part one is always within easy reach of the sea. : The unique irregularity of the coast has produced aw &xtraordindty length of shore line, "amounting altogether to over 1,000 miles. Sea bathing may be enjoyed everywhere, The chief industry is ggricuiture and horticulture. The land is prod- igiously productive, and of a total area of about 1,400,000 acres approx- imately one million is actually under cu.tivation. - Being situated in tHe midst of val- uable' mackerel, cod, lobster, oyster, and other fisheries, another basic in- dustry capable of great commercial development is at hand. Prince Ed- ward Island lobsters are famous and in great demand. In the production of rare furs, the Island has won a leading position and is now the world's chief source of black and silver foxes for breeding purposes. -------- Painters Not Anxious to Portray Miss 1926 London.--Why don't artists paint "Miss 19267" This 'question is raised by E, Eas- ton Tayler in the London Evenine News and has appeared repeated.y in other journals within the last few months. Gallgries, where modern | the expected new hosts of Americans. | paintings are shown, display few pic- tures of girls in the latest fashions. Several portraits of. young women in scant modern gowns have pro- voked considerable comment, most of it unfavorable, in spite of the ex- cellent reputation of the painters who tried to make the modern flapper into a masterpiece. Older painters for the most part say modern fashions are so inartistic it isn't possible to make a discrim- inating public accept them on canvas. -- 18 Mayence Cathedral in Danger of Collapse Berlin.--Close on the heels of the discovery that the Cologne Cathedral was in danger of crumpling to pieces comes ~ the announcement that the beautiful Mayence Cathedral! is also in jeopardy.
