Hamilton.--A pocket of illuminat- ing gas which exploded end almost immediately ignited destroyed the home and village postoffice of Charles Keys at Ryckman's Corners, a fow minutes after 6 o'clock Thursday morning. Mr. Keys was trapped in the cellar and badly burned. He was removed to St. Joseph's Hospital, Mrs. Keys and a son, named Walter, were both hurled forty to fifty feet by the force 'of the explosion, but escaped serfous injury. Miss Clara Keys, a daughter, was compelled to jump ein the wreckage of her bedroom on what had been the second storey of the building. Shortly after 5 o'clock Thursday morning a 'strong odor of natural gas was detected by Walter Keys. He awakened his father, who descended to the cellar to investigate. The elder Keys did not commit the folly of light- ing a match, he declares, as there were electric lights in the cellar and he turned on the switch. A moment later there was a deafening explosion, caused, it is thought, by the escaping gas from the cellar ascending to the kitchen and there igniting when it came in contact with a coal stove. The violent explosion rocked the house and a great part of it bulged outward and then collapsed. The place was a mass of flames.

Winnipeg, Man.--Canada has got to be the source of supply of wheat for the Old Country for some time to come, according to Sir Herbert Mat- thews, Secretary of the Central Cham- ber of British Agriculture. He could see very little prospect of Russian wheat again being largely consumed in the Old Country and with the un- certainty of supply from India, to- gether with the fact that people in such countries as India, China and Japan were steadily consuming more wheat products, it was his opinion that Canada is likely to be looked to more and more as Britain's chief source of supply of wheat. Fort William, Ont.--The first fish net factory to operate in Canada is being started here by the Canadian Fish Nét Co., Ltd., finarited by Can- adian capital and employing Canadian labor.

One hundred and thirty-seven died in London alone Health officials pointed out, how- ever, that these figures compare fav- orably with the epidemic in 1922, when the death roll went frequently over a thousand weekly. mA Toronto is assured of 96 conven- tions this year, that number being al- ready reported by the Toronto Con- ; | vention Association. These gather- ings are expected to bring 75,000 visi- tors to the city. Prominent among these assemblies will be those of the International Bible Students' Associa- tion with about 10,000 prospective delegates, the Ancient Order of Sa- maritans, numbering 7,000 and the Worlds Federation of Education with 6,000. Oddly enough, the last day of the year, Dec, 81, is already booked by.the Sigma Alpha Mu, a Jewish fraternity, for the annual gathering.
