In consequence of Mitchel!‘s role in this case, Belloa was granted a new trial by the French cfvil court in 1926. The Public Prosecutor announced that there had been a judicial error, and asked for Bellon‘s complete rehabilitaâ€" tion. This was granted, and he was given damages amounting to £40. This sum, however, was not sufficiert to pay the passage of both himself and his wife to Erance, so he returned howe alone. When Mitchell told his story at the trial ho was under a warrant of exâ€" pulsion and made such an unfavorâ€" able impression that he was driven from the court by the judge. Hoe was allowed to remain in France some months after that, and then finally exnel‘ed. ue PERFECT CASE. The police case against the careâ€" taker was perfect except that they had not the slightest evidence to show how the body had been taken to the Bois. At a critical point in the police investigation Stanley Mitchell, who had a long police record in France, suddenly appeared and declared that he had seen the caretaker hauling the body in a pushcart. Mitchell stated that he had been released from prison the previous day, had spent the night in Montmartre, and then had gone to the Bois, where, waking up early in the morning, he saw the caretaker passing with the body. A Years passed, and one night in the autumn of 1925 Bellon was reading a three months‘ old copy of the Paris "Matin" by candle light in his hut in the penal settlement As his eyes glanced down the columns of the newspaper a cry escaped him. He was reading about the trial of a Plris‘ caretaker, Lazare Tissier, for the murder of a bookmaker named Bellay in his cellar in the heart of Paris. The murderer afterwards took the body to the Bois du Boulogne. Bellon helped Mitchell to write his reports in French. One day Mitchell was sudden‘ly arrested by the Swiss police as a foreign spy and expelled. Mitchell reported to his chief that Bellon had denounced him. TREASON CHARGE, | When Bellon returred to France he was arrested on the charge of treason, tried before a courâ€"martial at Marâ€" seilles in the latter part of 1915, and on, Mitcheli‘s testimony, which was entirely hearsay, was sentenced . Devil‘s Island for\ife. | Bellon protested his innocence, and wrote hundreds of letters of appeals to the League for the Rights of Men in Paris but the War Minister refused to authorize a new trial Bellon‘s case is one of the most extraordinary in the history of miliâ€" tary and civil jurisprudence.

Toronto Star (Ind.): The intimation appearing in a Toronto morning paber that Ottawa has reached an agre@ ment with Washington that will onâ€" able the United States to deal a deathâ€" blow to rumâ€"running would be gratiâ€" fying, if true.

So far no work has been done showing whether it is useful and economical in the making of newsprint paper. ¢ is BIG FIELD. If the plant does all its owners elaim for it, there is a big field for development. In many textile proâ€" ducts now manu{actured flax and jute now form an important part. If the plant itself{ can be proteéted by patent or license it can then be grown only with the pérmission of the company. If this cannot be done, the company still expects to make big revenue out of brotex by pushing the patents of the special chemical and meckanical processes involved in makâ€" ing it useful in industry. A subsiâ€" diary company may shortly be formed in Canada. Cl d } Second, *the question of patenting chemical processes and machinery specially designed to utilize brotex proâ€" ducts for textilés and paper making. First, wh ther it is possible to paâ€" tent the plant itself, so that all and sundry may not grow it. A company has already been formed for its promotion in England. On its advisory council are such prominent men as Sir Robert Horne, former chancellor of the exchequer, and the Earl of Selborne. The corporation now has two big questions before its patent lawyers: ‘ It is claimed that an acre of thes: plants will yield 3,735 pounds of fibre ready for hackling in a textile mill; 12,030 pounds of material ready to be made into paper pulp and 5,250 pounds of seed for cattle feed. BIG MEN BACK IT. Its inventors claim that the seed makes a rich oily cattle food. From the bark is obtained a fibre fit for all kinds of textile purposes similar to those of flax anc jute. From the core of the plant is obtained a cellulose for paper making. London.â€"If the hopes of its backers come true "brotex"â€"a manâ€"invented plant like the seedless orange and the loganberryâ€"may give an entirely new andâ€"paying crop to the British farmer, and revolutionize the artificial silk industry. Brotex is the result of long work on a 200â€"acre farm in the west of Engâ€" land which has been carefully fenced off and which has for a long time exâ€" cited the wonder and curiosity of !r.eighboring farmers. It is a plant evolved by a very complicated series of graftings and blendings, possessing the rapid growing qualities of tropical vegetation and yet capab‘s of being grown even in a :omparatively cold country like England. It grows from seed and matures rapidly, within 18 months attaining a height of from 8 to 10 feet and a stem circumference of from 8 to 10 inches.

Training he can get, if at the end of his medical course there is nothing but a position in Ceylon or China available for kim, it is little wonder if he hesitates to depart from..the conventional ways pursued by previous generations. It is not too much to say that if the county health unit scheme is successâ€" fu! the stimulus given to the teaching of preventive medicinc will be immeâ€" diate and the number of medical graduates prepared to pursue a public health career will be increased.

Interest in the light horse seems to be reviving and in the Untâ€" ted States, Canadian horse reputation appears to be renewed.

The great sire of trotters, Peter the Great, traced directly to a Canadian stallion f@rom south Ontarie and the fam®us families in New York State were full of Canadian blood." The new section for haltbred foals is interesting in itselft.
