luutymtonaoorcimnny, am my tourists cook in plenum. sur- m [nut-nymphom- The first of Mr. de' Lemorandiere‘s family came to Canada in “390. No one was allowed to own stores in those days but the King of France, so this early ancestor worked as a clerk in the store of his sovereign at Quebec. On June 28, 1820, the vil- lage of Kiilarney was founded by Ir. de Lamorandiere‘s grandfather. He called it Bhehonaning, an Indian name meaning canoe channel. The aane Killarney was taken in ms. The Old gentleman is thick-set. sturdy for his eighty years. and has a great heard that he. has worn practically all his m’ature life. It is grayish black and make him appear almost as Old as the hills of Killar- ney. His eyes are sharp and stand out well and his general appearance would lead one to believe that he'? will live as long as his .falher and uncle, who died a little short of a hundred. Mr. de [amorandioro was nspecialv ly imprvssmi by our tall buildings. Thea» gigantic masses of stone and brick. "By gosh." he remarkvd. more is nothing impossible." lain-d.

But it takos an old visitor to conu- bavk and romind us that Toronto has had a past. 'l‘hn old markut.

Old Toronto has van- When Mr. de Lamorandiere arriv- ed in Toronto on Wednesday along with Mr. Albert Lowe, who is here with him, a feeling of awe and am- azement almost overcame him. The. Toronto which he had seen 44 years ago had vanished. A new city had taken its place. A city of paved streets, of towering buildings and bustling throngs. The old coal oil lamps that flickered here and there along the streets had gone. A bril- tiant whiteness had taken their piace. A glare which dazzled the w-year-old eyes of Mr. Lamoran- diere and startled his imagination. He had never before seen such a sight and his thoughts went. home to his own little village. isolated. and destined to continue to use oil lamps it‘ his mission did not succeed. For he said the opening of this road will be the life blood of our community and an eVerlasting wide to him, whose grandfather founded the \il-l lage of Killarney in 1820. He is P. R. de Lamorandiere. and he is trying to have the Ontario gm'ernment open a road from Kiliar- 093; in Sudbury. a distance of per- haps 30 miles. Killarney is a beau- tiful and picturesque village or 300 population, lying at the northwest corner of Georgian Bay. It is among the rugged hills of New Ontario and is a beauty spot much sought by summer tourists. As it stands, how- ever. it is completely isolated, thus the need or a road. There are no motor cars in Killarney. There are no roads on which to use them. In the winter the mail is brought over the we from Little tiurrenl by horses and m the spring and {all frequently horses and mail go through the ice and are lost, When the new road is built. as Mr. ile Lamorandiere ex- perts it will be, the mail will come from Sudbury by motor. the people of Killarney will buy motor cars, settlers will rome in and the whole district will prosper to the financial henetit of Untario. The oldest citizen of Kill'arney. Ontario, is in Toronto to make repâ€" resentatimi to the Minister of Lands tad Forests. the Hon. Beniali Bow- man, on behalf of his village. 8338 TORONTO AGAIN AFTER 1mm PORN-FOUR YEARS A wtcran of Killarney, Mr. P.

It has been for years merely ornamental. It was kept wound up tightly, and when visitors would of- ten give the pendulum a swing it would start, but soon stop. On Monâ€" day there was an earthquake record- ed somewhere and whether this was the cause or not, strange to say the clock started going just at that time, and has been going ever since, and' only twenty minutes out of time, another strange coincidence. Nobody can be found who touched the clock so the above must have been the reasonâ€"some reason, too. nun wing. a Killarnvy special dance. with which he entertained Hm Vilâ€" lagv in his younger days with tlw help of his tiddlv.

His grandfather would have lost his life had it not been for the faithfulness of his dog, which attacked the ani- mal. winning out in the fight. Mr. «le Lamorandiere said he walked home following the experience with the bull, though friends wanted to take him; also, in spite. of the fact. that he was a month and a half reâ€" covering. he refused to take to his howl. In 1917 he was badly shaken up and injured by a bull on the same Spot where. his grandfather had met ennie acquainted with a number of Toronto people, who are entertain- ing him. to a considerable degree, lwhile he is in Toronto. Thursday i he was given a supper by Mr. Wal- l lace. 39 Boswell avenue. after which .he was called for by Mr. J. P. Mc- Laughlin. 29 Munro Park, along with a Star representative, and taken to Loew’s Theatre. It was the first time in his life that he had seen, moving pictures. But the vaudeville‘ acts came in for some criticism. He claimed he could dance better than the. bathing beauties and he could teach the, Indian actors some Indian songs to take the place of the Am- erican ones. Mr. de Lamorandierc speaks French and Indian better than he does English, and his Eng- lish is by no means poor considering that he has never spent a day at school in his life. He can also write beautifully and has gained an intel- ligence surpassed by few. He, has written the history of his family tree back 2333 years. He has a set of French dictionaries published in t8“ and brought to Toronto inf1825. let except by boat in summer and across the ice in winter. To get a physician it is necessary to go 25 miles. Two weeks ago he said he had to go 30 miles to get a doctor for his wife and the travelling was over ice. In the summer it would have to he by boat. The opening of a road to Sudhury would overcome all this for they could then travel by motor. F or twenty-three years Mr. de Lamorandiore kept the lighthouse at Kiliarney. Since then he has been a blacksmith, c00per, gunsmith, sailor and farmer. The old Chicora used to call there, and in 1870 he left Kil- larnoy with his father at six o'clock in the morning and arirved in 'I'ur~ onto at ten o‘clock at night.

A feature of the experiments was that the use of two of these fuels together often gave better results than one used alone. Complete dir- ections are given for building the fire, for replenishing it and for reg- ulating the drafts. Chemical analy- ses are also published of each fuel. showing its comparative heating value, ash content and other con- stituents. Particular interest attaches to the directions for using soft or bitumin- ous coal; for the Canadian house- holder in the great majority of cases may flnd it necessary to use soft coal for the reminder of this winter. This fuel, the pamphlet points out, is differentiated from anthracite in having a much higher percentage of volatile or gaseous material. Its heating value, however. is nearly 10 per cent. greater than that of anthra- cite, but it must be fired differently from the latter to get best results. gas coke, 72-hour nut coke, Welsh anthracite and peat. 681'"!!!
