Uxiord, where he has been LRegius Professor of Medicine since 1904, recent advices had given hope for his recoverey.Sir William, who passed his scventieth birthday last July, was stricken with pneumonia in November but about the middle of that month was repurted con- \\alemcent.A forinight ago, howe.vc, reports reached this country that he hau taken u turn for the wo.se, Cable advices shortly afterwards announced that his condition wan soniewhat improved, while on Lhristinas à message from him was ieceived at the Johns Hopkins Hosbatal in Baltimore, in which the famous physician extended Christr:ux greetings to all his old friends, und annuunced that he was \u201cmaking a good fight\u201d after an empvema operation.« Sir William Osler was one of the great men who sprang from Canadian soil.His first preceptor was the parish priest, to whom he acknowledged hix meral and mental indebtedness and to whom he inscribed one of his tearned works\u2014\"the practice of me- toire.\u201d Receiving hix medical degree from McGill University in 1872, Dr.Osler placed the imprint of his ability on medical learning to such a marked degree that within a few years he be- curae an accepted aythority In inedi- val science.His great art lay in his enill in diagnosis and his profound hhowledge of all the pars and func- ul the buman buldy and the «rious {lis of nature.If much a ink

the whole, it would be of great to the sexagenaria them- selves.\u201d Nevertheless and notwithstanding his views on this subject Dr.Osler himself remained in active practice until the close of his life.Having served in Johns Hopkins to 1905, he was called, at the age of fifty six, to Oxford University as Regius Professor of Medicine, the highest honour in the bestowal of British Institutions of learning.For his great service in medicine he was knighted, and created a baronet by King Ueorge at his Coronation in 1911.During the war he rendered great services to the Empire as organizer and counsellor, \u2018and was one of the leaders in the recent concerted movement to bring British medical education te the highest plane of thoroughness.The only son of William Osler, Lieutenant Edward Osler, was kijied | in action In 1917.Clinical Pioneer.Montreal, December.29\u2014Sir William Osler, was born at Bondhead, a village near Toronto and attended school at Port Hope, whence he went to Toronto University, transferring to.McGill in 1370.In.1814 he was appointed professor of the Institute of Medicine at McGill and was physician to the Montreal General Hospital, and immediately began to teach in the wards thus laying the (oundation for his future success at the Johns Hopkin Hoepital.In 1880 he removed to B.itimore where he became professor of medicine in Johns Hopkin University and physician-in-chief tu Johns Hopkins Hospital.In 1905, Dr.Osler was called to the Hegius Professorship of Medicine at the University of Oxford and received the honor of Knighthood on the Coronation of King George V.Yuring the war he rendered great service as an organizer and as a counsellor, his exper.a avoided, To the vouth, he said: lence and resourcefulness of mind \u2018Thire are other

far reaching they would hn, passed around the world in garbled form of every variety.He wan quoted as having said in effect that men past that age were of no value in the process of humanity and that men who had reached the nge of sixty should be chioro- formed.Dr.Osler remained silent on the subject for a considerable period and then issued a statement, in which he declared: \u201cIL did not say

began as a lecturer at McGill University, Montreal.Two brothers of 8ir William Gsler survive and reside in Toronto.They are Hon.Faetherstone- Osler, t'resident of the Toronto General Trust Corporativn, and & former Judge of the High Court of Ontario, and Sir Edmund Osler, M.P., head of the Stock Brokerage firm of Osler & Hammond.A third brother waa the late Britton B.Osler, K.C., a

quently drives great masses of field ice and towering bergs tu menace Ÿ navigation during the spring and! summer months when the glacial Northland releases these perils to shipping.At other times the Labrador current surges Into the Guif of} & 8e Lawrence, chilla the contiguous; £a air, and sets back for weeks vege-, @ tation's response to the rays of the: northern wun.According to our, hydrographic experts, describing the} drift of ice and bergs in the grip of) the Labrador current.! \u201cBy the middle of January the; shores of Newfoundland and Gulf of) |8t.Lawrence are full of ice which !has been frosen there, and are open-| verse wind.Navigation in the River, St.Lawrenes is closed about the, middle of November and does not! open until about May.A wind from northwest to southwest will clear the eastern coast of Newfoundland, while the Quif of St.Lawrence may remain full of ice until the first of May.Even after this date much ice is, found in the Gulf until July, and by August or earlier the ficld tee ip re- blaced in the Strait of Belle Isle by berge.\u201c | Plainly, the Arctic flood that en-: Ÿ tors the Gulf of St.Lawrence by way, of the Strait of Helle Isle is one potent aid to the development of local ice by chilling the waters wo that they will freeze early.This.quite apart from intrusion of berges and ifloes from Labrador, closes the Stlawrence river to navigation for, § months when movement to and from the sea would be of great economic moment to Canada.; The throat of the Strait is in the neighborhood of Forteau liay, where the apan from shore to shore is ten miles Even sv, the soundings show depths ranging from 32 to 63 fathoms (1928 and 327 feet).Nothing Appreaching à dam of such length and height has yet been erected.Further to the eastward where the distance across is about eighteen\u2019 miles, the soundings show depths of 17, 20, 43, and 18 fathoms across the atrait from Wreck Bay to Cape Norman.Here the shallower water and mors moderate currents, cven with a wider interval to be closed, would make it easier to plant the obatruc- tion.In oither case, the enterprise: would call for the expenditure of a vast sum.! Bh It is argued as an offeet that the\u201d & climatic modifications, which would be effected by shutting out the lah.rador current, would induce enormous agricutural increases and raise the value of the lands by billlons of dollars.Further we are told that the exclusion of the Labrador current from the Gulf of St, Lawrence would permit the warm waters of the Gulf Stream to awing in nearer to the const, thus tempering the cold months and making the St.Lawrence river as well as the gulf navigable ; the year round.The Labrador current brings masses of sand, etc.from the Arcticwhich have been deposited in the Grand Hank, and instead of undee- running the Quif Stream without ser lous interference has been forced steadily rising Grand Bank\u2014an obstacle in the main of its own forming.In a kindred fashion, but to a lesser cxtent, the Gulf Stream has, helped to uphuild from the south, the great harrier which taday hringn the frigid waters of the Arctic curent and the warm flood from the fi tropics into disastrous conflict in the neighborhood of Newfoundiand\u2014 | robbing the Gulf Kiream af the major part of Îts beneficial heat and modi- tying radically its further paths of travel, Seven years ngo an American mechanical engineer, Carrol Livingston iiker, of New York city.who has: done notable things in the realm of.hydraulic engineering.boldly pro-| posed the bullding of à giant jetty | projecting to the south and east (rom Cape Race directly across the main path of the southbound Lahrador current.In laying his scheme before congress a vear Inter Mr, Riker claimed that he could accomplish this amazing result at an expenditure of $20,000,000!

$33,221,000.Bonds, (By Bruneaz & Dupuis) Renewals were made at 12 percent and more loans were called in Wall Street than at any time during this whole high money period.Money rates advanced until 2.30 when they were at 25 percent but eased off and the market rallied but| it looks as the close prices would be quite a little below those of Saturday.This condition of money is apt to exist for probably ten days or two Weeks more to & greater or less extent.Hence, I do not think we can have any great uprush of prices and think it would bs a good time for those who have ne stocks to save money by not buying them unless thay get really very weak.T market, taking all in all, had behaved well today.CHANNNNHANTRE SAN Rpsin, American strained, 80s;
