I"A.\IOI'S |.0\l)0\' PHYSH‘IANS THINK Mr. Another popular superstition which has been the cause of untold suffering to humanity is exploded by statements made by medical au- thorities that there is no such thing as the "death agony." The question was raised by Mr. J. Cook-Wilson, who, in a letter to the London Times, describes how he stood by the bedside of his dying father. "In the last stuns," said Mr. Wilson, "there began the rar‘d la.- bored breathing which is a familiar feature of such cases. lt was most distressing to hear and watch, but the physician assured me that the patient knew nothing of it. One did not doubt that there was some ground for the medical opinion, but one could not help rettecting that it was at best a. probable interference, and that. the only decisive proof could be an experience which. in the nature of the case, it seemed impossible to limo. “Somewhat grewsume as the sub- ject may seem at first sight," said an vminent London physician, whore upillinn was asked on the matter, "it is well to have it venti- lntml.

A despatch from Toronto Bays: Peter John Bolahuod. aged 12, liv- ing at 123 York Street, kicked what he thought was an empty can lying on the ground in his back yard. The can immediately blew up with a loud veport, and the boy wads so in- juer by the explosion that he will J"' _ " ’u - . lose the sight of ope eye. He is in the General Hospital in a. critical condition. - . . The police have been unable to find any trace of the exploded can. which seems to have been blown to atoms, and so are somewhat at, a loss for a theory of the accident. They think it likely, however, that it had contained dynamite, and had been left there Gthinkingly by some of the foreign workmen living in the neighborhood who are em- ployed on construction in the city.

Turkey'- Constitution. Even Turkey is suffering constitu- tional painsi The general election which took place recently resulted in an overwhelming majority for the Young Turks.

At the lust general election the regis- ters were those used for its remote, pre- decessor. established under Midhnt Pasha in 1876, and "suspended" from 1877 until the revolution of 1908. and they can hardly have been revised ex- tenshely during the war or since. There is one member to every 60,000 inhabitants. and every 600 voters are entitled to elect a delegate; these dele- gates then meet at the chief town of the constituency. and elect the actual members. Thus the second stage of the election is liable to be influenced bv the local authorities. and there have been bitter complaints that the Chris- tian population have been under-esti- mated and under-represented. especially in Armenia. No doubt the question of recotrttizittrt the Young Turks will under the circumstances come up for the. de- cision of the powers. (‘onstltutlonaiism must be upheld at all costs even in Turkev.

In the heart of the snow-clad Buckles, hundreds of miles west of Edmonton, has a lake whose waters are always troubled, into whieh a. large river flows but out of which there is no visible exit. The leader of a furent- survey party sent out by the Dominion Forestry Branch to examine the forests in this wild ro- ‘gion tdates that the India IS shun this lake as the abcde of evil {pi- rits, and, bu give credence to this superstition, from time to time deep rumblings may be hoard where far below the surface the we'er swirls through the hidden outlet. The river that enters the lake rush- ed from a. subterranean cave many miles down the valley, the portal of :whioh noana0 has everryot paased.
