IP AFTER BATTLE WITH SEA. Tokio Ciinging Tok 54 hours to the stern 6f their vessel, which alone ~~ remained above water after striking a Tock, the 73 members of the crew of the City of Naples, a British freighter, dave been rescued by the Japanese warship Kasuga. The Kasuga brought the men to port. Two other warships had given up the attempts to get boats near enough to the jagged rocks to reach the lines thrown out by the wrecked seamen. Two of the Kasuga's crew, however, swam through the dangerous eddies to get the lines and made the rescue possible, ">The City of Naples ran into a storm on Monday night while making the trip from Kobe to Yokohama. Blown out of her course, she ran high up on a coral reef 150 miles off the, Idzu Peninsula and Miyake Island. She broke in two almost as soon as! she struck, and the forward half was | broken to pieces and disappeared, But near the stern remained perched on the | rocks, barely above water, constantly washed by the waves and in danger of | disintegration at any moment.

ANOTHER AU AUTOMOBILE TRAGEDY AT CROSSING Train Strikes Car, Fatally In-! juring Woman--Husband May Recover. Toronto.--Mrs, Harry Chessel, aged 64, of Ellesmere, Ont., was almost in- stantly killed, and her husband, Major Chessel, aged 66, sustained severe head and facial injuries when a motor car driven by Major Chessel was, struck by the C.P.R. Montreal-Toronto. ex- press on the level crossing about one mile west of Agincourt, Ont. The body ' was oonveyed to North Toronto Sta- tion on the train. It is understood that an indhest will be held by the county authorities at a date yet to be fixed. Major Chessel was taken to the Western Hospital. His condition is: serious, although it is thought that he will recover. At the time of the tragedy Major Chessel and Mrs. Chessel were en route to Toronto. The crossing is guarded by a four-armed semaphore. Apparently Major Chessel did not no- tice the train.

Meanwhile, tha crew of the City of Naples, p.entifuly sup-. pied with tinned food but running very short of water, clung to the! wreck and flung lines as far out as they could. Lieutenant - Commander Sakabe, commanding four cutters from the Kasuga, and Seaman Kanai, both ex- cellent swimmers, were the heroes of the rescue. The commander feared to take his cutters in too close, but he and Kanai swam right in to the coral reef, risking their lives in the boiling, tossing waters among the rocks, seized a line and carried it back to the cuf- ters. o A breeches buoy was \s quickly impro- vised and in three hours, Captain R. C. Connor, of the City of Naples, the last to leave his ship, lowered the Un- [jon Jack, which had been flying all this time at the stern and was hauled aboard the Kasuga. The warship im- mediately made for Yokohama and landed the rescued in that port three days after they had hit the reef. v rane of Toronto stated that he whis- tled three times as the express ap- proached the crossing, as was his cus- tom. The motor car, as far as he | could see, did not seem to stall on {the tracks, nor did the driver of it appear to be trying to race the train over the crossing. It seemed as if the 'auto would make the crossing in safe- | ty. But the pilot of the.engine caught the rear end of it before it could clear and lifted the vehicle clear of the tracks and over the embankmeit at {that point. Major Chessel was hurled a distance of 73 feet through the top of the auto, and his wife was thrown ; 86 feet. When the train pulled up and { Engineer Cochrane and Conductor P. i A, Higgins of Toronto and several of ! the passengers returned to the scene, ! they found Mrs. Chessel lying a short distance away from the wrecked car, buried under some of the debris.

As a result of conferences which have taken place during the last few weeks as between the Ontario Agri- cultural College and the University of Toronto, there has been added to the | curricula of these institutions new 'graduate courses in scientific research as app.ied to agricuiture. The senate of the university has authorized the establishment of a new degree, to be known as Master of the Science of Agriculture to cover the work pre- scribed. The candidates will be se- lected from graduates holding the B>| S,A. degree of the Ontario Agricultur- al College or others having equivalent qua'ifications. The time required to complete the prescribed work, which | will include original scie e- search, will be ono year as a minimum, or more according to requirements otherwise. The most outstanding fea ture of the plan will be the joint sup- ervision of the student's work by the scientific departments of the College and of the University, and the work itself may be carried on either at Guelph or Toronto. This will over- come, to a large extent at least, the difficiity which has previously existed as regards co-operation between To- ronto and Guelph on account-of the distance apart of the two institutions, and which has militated against a proper co-ordination of the higher educational facilities of the province. The new.arrangement is in line with found that scientific research as ap- plied to agriculture is of tremendous better standardization and improves ment of export trade. Most farming problems which do not yield to ordi- nary methods" and experience are acombination of various unknown fac- tors of a rather basic sort. These fac- tors are only determined by patient and prolonged investigation, carried out by scientifically trained men in well-equipped laboratories. In: the case of Toronto.and Guelph each in- stitution has certain facilities lacking in the other. Thus Guelph has direct contact with the farming community | and its problems, and more especially the expert staff and information neces- sary to estimate the most promising lines - of agricultural = development.
