Dr.Beattie Crozier, the well-known Anglo-Canadian economic writer; Sir Thomas Barlow, the eminent surgeon, Sir Dyce Duckworth; Professor Egerton, of Oxford; Mr.Donald Macmaster, X.C.; Mr.Thos.Skinner, the well-known Anglo-Cana- dian financier, Mr.F.Williams Taylor, the london manager of the Bank of Montreal.and so on.Lord Northcliffe.Lord Northcliffe js still kept a prisoner at his Surrey home, but he has this week had plenty to cheer® him.\u2018in the proceedings of the olders\u2019 \u201cmeeting of his most thriving infant, the Amalgamated Press, Limited.It was there pointed out that the total number of publications sold by the Press during the year 1909 was no less | than 341 millions, being an increase of 11 1-2 millions over 1908.and the year closes with a nice plump dividend of 40 per cent.Lord Northcliffe is, of course, the centre of many activities of which no record appears in the pub- lc press.1 hear, for instance, that the other day he was appealed to to make a special effort on behalf of tre Unionist cause in Lancashire.realizes quite as clearly as ministers do that in the present clectoral fight the two main keys to the position are held by Lancashire and by London.In London his journals, the Times, the Daily Mall and the Observer are in the very forefront of the Unlonist fight, and he has now, I understand, made elaborate arrangements whereby Unionists will also be greatly helped in the Lancashire fight.Of course, in England, perhaps more than in any other country, it is not money or the press that has the last word.In the 1908 election there never was such a powerful press campaign as that which Mr.Chamberlain had behind him and yet.as we know.the Radicals came back to power with a majority beyond all modern precedent.Sir Thomas Shaughnessy.Sir Thomas Shaughnessy leaves tomorrow for Paris, after a hare week fn London.It is supposed to be his holiday.but when I called on him the other day it was with a grim smile that he grected the expression of my hope that he was enjoying his vacation.\u201cLouk at that table\u201d he said, and there was no mistaking the enormous pile of letters and cablegrams demanding his personal attention.Yet he looked remarkably well and his words ghowed that work thoroughly agrees with him.It is a tribute to the place Rir Thomas now holds in the minds of Englishmen that \u2018the leading journals here should have felt it good busi- ress to dispatch special commissioners all the way to Fishguard lh order to catch the first words from his Hps as he landed from the Lusitania.Of course, in the political whirlwind of the moment Sir Thomas has been unable to do anything with ministers in pushing forward the All-Red Route.schemes, 1 gather his position Is in effect this: \u201cWhen British and Canadian Ministers want something more in the way of trans-Atlantic steam- ern than the actual present business requirements of the traffic call for, they can put their money on the table and they will not find us slow in cooperating; but they cannot expect the Canadian Pacific or anyone else to provide Lusitanias on the St.Lawrence route unless they are prepared to treat us somewhat after the manner in which they treated ¢ Cunard.There would have been no Lusitania on the New York route had not the Bri- fish Government came forward in a very substantial way; 21-knot steamers would not have been doing business for the Cunard without subsidies and they would not be business for us.\u201d Canada and the Pantomime.There are always political allusions in the Christmas pantomimes, but this year we are to have more than the usual dose.No man in the theatrical world in London is a better judge of what one may câll the pantomime pulse of the nation than Mr.Alfred Moul, of the Alhambra and he means to make thie great hit of the season with his new Empire ballet.It is called \u201cOur Flag\u201d and will lack nothing in grace and brightness of movement.By the aid of the Alhambra corps de baliet and with al! the warmth of design as- soclatell with the Alhambra stage the history of the British flag will be unfolded and the growth of England from Saxon times until the present time will be graphically portrayed.The Union having been glowingly re- -established in ballet actin.England, in the person of Miss Julia Reeve, will welcome the Colonies.From north, south, east, and west they will come, representatives of dominions beyond the seas, all fn costumes typical of the countries \u201c LAID UP FIVE YEARS Vatil Half à Bottle of Father Morrisey\u2019s Liniment Cured His Shoufder, \u2014\u2014 er.Jos.J.Roy, à prominent tinemi athurst, N.B., july 16 16, 1909 : ith #1 cannot let this opportuni proies you know what I received five years I efit from your Liniment.For ad a sore shoulder, which sleeping at night.I had tried everythin possible and still could find no re! nel | until I was advised to try a Tot \u2018of your liniment, which I purchased with.\u2018out delay.I only used one half of the bottje when 1 was completely cured, nd how I feel as if T never had & sore shoulder.I would advise anyone suffer.in \u2018from Rhetmatie ns to give \u2018your n t a trial, for cannot praise too Bigays.>> wi Jiniment that will do that Is the | aefit you want.- It jo equally.good > sore throat or chest, backache, tooth.sche, \u2018eat ache,.spraizs, sore m cuts, bruises, brirns, frostbites, cha a hands or tien Kub itin, à comes ont.Father orales ery or from | streets rent thin oud end the nr i ts vo he a anions: irist: \u2018to which they belong.pr ta Dreadnought;

Observatory, has stated that hereafter his headquarters in the West will be the central distributing point for international planetary news.Dr.Lowell has strengthened his position by an alliance \u2018with the Cen- traie Stelle of Kiel.Germany, formerly an ally of the local Observatory.It has been common talk that Professors Lowell and Pickering, the latter head of the Harvard Observatory forces, have been at \u201couts\u201d for some time, but the rupture was considered as one which time would easily heal.This announcement of the slighting of Harvard and its scientists serves to widen the breach.The rock on which the course of th2 two professors was split was the Indifference with which the local expert received the earlier discoveries of Dr.Lowell.Since then time has shown that Dr.Lowell's views are being ,accepted by standard authorities us wo of consideration.8 led to his establishing his plan at Flagstaff, from which will be flash ed all the important astronomical âis- coveries he makes in the future.Prof.Pickering, of the local Obser3 \u201cvatory, says that if scientists have any difference of opinion regarding one another's observations and calculations the proper place to discuss them Is through the medium of a magazine devoted to such matters.ARE BIG MEN DUNCES ?German Physician Says Geniuses are AN Slight or Medium.Berlin, Decémber 2.\u2014Dr.I Potter, an eminent German physician, has been making some Interesting obger- vations regarding the stature of individuals and the relation that exists between height and talent and genius.The docteur finds that not only persons with considerable talent, but the genuises of the world have all been == ©f miedlum sixe or less.| imong statesmen he points out Attila, Cromwell, Frederick IL, Napoleon, Gam .Thiers\u2014all of whom were of very small stature, Jesus Christ, too, the doctor says, according to the Talmud, was built in small: propor tions; so was!Paul.Among the great artists the short men were Raphael, Michael Angelo, Titian,\u2019 Leonardo da Vinet-and Menzel: among the musicians,; Richard Wagner, Handèl, Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beephoven, Schumann, ' Schubert, Bralims, Nearly all -the opts, \u201cwere smal] stature, parti- ly Danté, Horsoe, Petr, arch, Boo ca do.Tesso, Vietor Hugo 4 Heine.so\u201d re.Cefvantes and Rousseau, he Australla wit YT Even the \u2018Dominion has her antiqui- co Tends at the summit of the Yildiz slope remained ppen was filled with chests, abreast.Against a single etiemy Ab- to hand.\u2018leading tq the gardens, \u2018were firmly Tess ou M Glamor of Romance Dispotled vues Abdu! Hamid\u2019s Old Palace Is © 77 Unbarred, The Constantinople correspondent of the London Times gives an interesting account of the mysterious Yildiz Ktosk, about which so \u2018much romance hung during.its occupation by the crafty old Sultan, Abdul Hamid, now deposed.The correspondent writes: \u2014 It is nearly five months since the park of Yiidiz was thrown open to the public: but the Palace of Y4ldiz remains.closed, and none may enter it save in the company of a Minister.By the kindness of Talaat Bey, Minister of the Interior, who invited several foreign\u2019 correspondents to the Palace and did them the honor of accompanying them during their visit to the ex-Sul- tan\u2019s private apartments, ! have had that good.fortune, and have been able to form a judgment concerning certain aspects of what I may call the \u201cYildiz legend.\u201d Truth is proverblally stranger than fiction: and the impression left up me and upon my companies is that of amused bewilderment in the face cof a bizarre and fantastic truth.The Yildiz legend deals truly with Abdul Hamid thre man\u2014a ruler timid, super- stitutioug,and fickle, cruel and relentless to any subject who dared show the slightest sign.of independence, ignorant and corrupt, but infinitely cunning.and, after a fashion, resourceful.Every room in Yildiz; and, indeed, every fact in the history of the Turkish Empire for the last thirty years, bears this out.But there is no truth in that part of the legend which describes the immensity of the Palace, the sumptuous magnificence .of treasures, and hints that every mesh of the web which hid the Imperial spider was of gold, frosted with diamonds and pearls.The truth is that the strands of the web were gilt at best, the diamonds but paste, and the pearls artifi&al, thâät the master of the \u201ctreasures\u201d of Yildiz paid far more than thelr true value for them, and that, in short, Abdul Hamid was 8 very inartistic despot.The road down which, under the old regime, the former Sultan used to drive to the mosque, so well known to all who attended the Friday's Selamlik.before a gateway.A few soldiers of the line and employes, who watch the turnstiles and deal out entrance tickets to visitors to the gardens, have succeeded the white-coated Albanians and green-turbaned Arabs of the Guard.To enter the inner Palace you must go through the gateways and r to the left, passing the stripped and deserted quarters of the Palace servants and women, Another gate must be entered to reach the door of a white two-storeyed building, linked by flying bridges to the Harem buildings on one side and the Imperial Theatre on the other.Though unpretentious and fndifferently built, this structure is the centre of Yildiz, and was for many a year the centre of the Empire.ARCHITECTURE OF FEAR.The seals upon the double doors are broken and the Minister enters; you follow, expecting to see a wide hall As a matter of fact you enter a vesti- begins the exploration of the Palace\u2019 in the hope of finding, if not perfect order and regularity, at least some signs that it had been built and inhabited after some plan.But there is neither plan nor order\u2014all is confusion.\u201cAmbagesque domus et in- extricabilis error.\u201d One wanders in a maze of rooms, passages, and stairways.For Abdul Hamid was for ever changing the arrangement of his dwell- ing-place.Doorways were bricked up and others were driven through outer walls, passages were closed or narrowed, rooms divided by partitions, windows were made and unmade at random.New quarters, new rooms, new walls were ever being added to the main building, and were in turn altered and remodelled as the old had been.And so it is impossible to describe YIl- diz as if it were an ordinary Palace.It is only after you have wandered through it for some time that you understand the design that underlies sil this seeming confusion.The mazy hou reflects the tortuous, active, and yet terror-ridden soul of -a despot whom all men feared and who feared all men.It is the creation of a mind that had grown to hate the open and feared great chambers and straight, wide corridors.The Merasim Kiosk, behind the ex-Suitan\u2019s Palace, was built for the German Emperor on & definite plan, with a wide central corridor and large banquet rooms; but Abdul Hamid during all the last years of his reign never ventured there save for \u2018State banquets, when the presence of his guards made attack impossible.In Yildiz Kiosk I saw only two rooms that could be called large, and these the ex-Sultan entered but rarely.Fo- the last ten years of his reign he scarcely ever slept in the State bed chamber, preferring to lie on sofas fitted with rests for the feet, now in this room, now in that.All the passages but one-leading to the group of rooms on the ground floor which he most frequented after the earthquake were blocked up, while the one which cupboards.and even \u2018the humblest pieces\u2019 of hedroom furniture, =o that two men could not piss down it dul Hamid felt hiurself secure, for he wore mafl and could make deadly use of the revolvers that lay everywhere - His bolt- holes, {ron doors secured within and watoned by sentinels withoüt.ROOMS AND RURNITURE.i dh cannot enumérate dr describe all rooms of vieu To: catalogue end- against | ArGatic taste\u2019 would bedndecent uhd, fn n-bense, uns just} for Abdul Hamid wis\u2019but a peasant in many ways\u2014and a Spoiled poa- sant.tôo\u2014while those ébout-him were either primitives or Chistian and rhe Showary and Warm in- London.London, December 28.\u2014 While New and lishvy.clathing:- The weather \u2018con ditions Tiers are more like summer than \u2018winter tn respect to temperature, Former Newspaper Man Kiiod.| PR Wébtera- Associated Prese: 7 re de shivering in a blizzard, Lone] doneté, are \u2018discarding.thèir avértouts }- it.showers yésterday tiica the\u201d UNVELED its | bule, small and plainly furnished.Then\u2019 scale.savings.day, cach, $2.95.In Brussels net and fancy lined with china silk, we offer some lovely numbers in ecru and white;

South Africa, during several decades of ast century, was known: chiefly as the scene of constantly-recurring Kaf- fir wars.The rise and destruction of the Zulu power, an dthe fierce fight- | ing which\" that \u201coverthrow involved! are still vividly remembered .by people in middle age.It seems only vester- day that the adventurous little column under the direction of Cecil Rhodes penetrated to Buluwayo and broke up the fighting organization of the Mnta- bete.The discovery of the gold and diamond fields, the first Boer nr, and the hard-fought racial - struggle which followed the regime of Kru- gerism, the rapid healing, by wise and generous treatment, of wounds which \u2018many deemed to te incurable, and the swift accomplishment of political union ~all these things are amazing to Mok back \u201cupon in.their ordered sequence.It is one of the political miracles of our time that out of absolute chaos and a welter of harshly contending interests there has arisen a new South Africa and fe arising a new South African nation: Confidence is Absolute.\" How absolute is the confidence felt in the triumph of the cause of South African Union fs shown by the fact that this announcement of the Prince of Wales's visit appears before the South Africa Blll has been so much as discussed in the House of Commons.\u2018That measure has already received the sanction of the House of Lords; - its second reading will be taken in the Commons to-day.We hope sincerely that the Lower Chamber may give the same practically unanimous welcome which was: accorded to it by the Upper, and that today's debate may reach the same high and.indeed, lofty level.The speeches of Lord.Crewe, Lord Curzon.the Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Lans- dowhe, and the Lord: Chancellor were, by general consent, worthy of the fine accssion which called them forth.Even those who felt it to be their duty to plead the Tights of the natives in South Africa uttered their criticisms fn a manner which did not clash ith the sense of unanimity prevailing on ail the other main questions.In this respect we hope that the champions of J native- rights.will emulate the manner of Lord Courtney and the Archbishop |! of Canterbury, and will: not interven» - lon South African\u2014affaifs with the same unreason which they show in dealing with\u2014the\u2014affairs\u2014of India;

In order to save four hundred miilion | tons of coal \u2018frem, a flame that had been burning haf =, century, one of the most remarkable.operations in the history of American engineering has just Leen completed at Mauch Chunk, Pa.This is one of the garden spots of the country.The scenery of the famous Panther Creek Valley and of the heights that overhang it caused this section to be spoken of as the Switzerland of America.Some of its beauty has been torn from it by the great coal mining operations that have been.continually in operation, but much remains of the picturesque.But under this smiling face of nature has been raging for half a century, beginning before the Civil War had started, a consuming fire that has eaten ton after ton of coal in its relentless advance, Nobody knows how this fire started, but it was first discovered jin the mines on February 19, 1859.uring the time it has been raging, while two generations were coming and going, it has consumed\u2019 ten.miliion tons of coal, estimated at a loss to the country of $25,000,000.Succeeding administrations of the Lehigh Valley Coal and Navigation Company, owners of the land, have recognized that the greatest service they could do to the company was to fore they, finally got into the main deposit, and destroyed all the coal.Four hundred million tons of that lay in danger, and this represented a value of $2,000,000,000.exerting the last atom of ingenuity, and .spending a fortune in cash, if the -advance of the flames could be checked.But how to do it was the problem.That flame which may have been started from hot ashes: raked from a stove at the foot of the slope, or from a miner's lamp, carelessly left.among the timbers, presented a problem so serious that the best engineers failed in their efforts at a solution.One plan after another was tried by engineer after engineer, but.the result was always the same fallure and a big outlay of money for which ne return could be shown.In the early stages the blunder was made of attempting to subdue the flames with water, but this only made the situation worse.The water com-~ ing in contact with the flames produced explosions that cracked the cecal open, and made new paths along which the fire could make its way.Sometimes the fire would slow up a bit.and engineers would.get the idea that they had succeeded, On one occasion, indeed, it seemed to have stopped altogether, but just when this hope dawned, the flames broke out afresh, in still more powerful volume, and the sacrifice of valuable coal land went on unabated.Only one fortunate circumstance came to the ald of the man who has now finally succeeded in making the winning fight against the fire, W.A.Lathrop.This is the shape of the deposit.Because Mother Nature elected to place the coal in such a direction as she did, Mr.Lathrcp was able to devise the scheme that has finally brought success after five decades of failure.The general shape of the Panther Creek coal basin has been likened to that of a man\u2019s hand, with the thumb extended and the other fingers held together.The spur that marks the thumb extends to Summit Hill, and at the end of the thumb the slope was originally opened up.The point where the fire started fifty years ago wag on the outside of the thumb, It has taken (fifty years-Tor the flames to eat up this giant thumb, but now the job is vitally accomplished, and the next step of the work of devastation would be to get into the main part of the hand.Once into the hand thers would have been nothing to stop the progress, TE SAVED | stop the progress of the flames be-\" It was a stake | \u20144n Ireland, and with that regiment-he-j-Well worth.playing for, and.well worth } FULL FLAVORED YET EXTRA MILD | You never smoked a + cigar just like DAVIS\u2019 PERFECTION.\u201d The first thing you note about it, is its mildness.Smoke one, or ten, or twenty a day\u2014and your head will be as clear after the twentieth as it was before the first.That is one of the unique features of \u201cDAVIS\u2019 PERFECTION\u201d\u2014 ITS MILDNESS.Yet it has the full, rich, mellow flavor and satisfying qualities of the finest Havana.blended filler, binder, So carefully have we and wrapper that \u201cDAVIS PERFECTION\u201d may be smoked continuoysly without the slightest ill-effects.It\u2019s the ideal cigar for heavy smokers.If you have'ever smoked a know the quality of Davis\u2019 \"8.DAVIS & \u201c NOBLEMEN, \u201d Cigars.you & SONS, LIMITED, .For Halt a Century Makers of Fine Clgars\u2014 and nothing else.7 - White's Portland Cem is the BEST, being extremely finely ground and uniform in quality.It has stood the been imported into this country for over 30 years.test of having Do time not buy other brands without first asking us for prices.;

the wall had to be carried down to a depth of 247 feet.The building of this wall was a heroic task.Shafts were sunk and then the cut was walled\u2019 up on all sides with cement.The fire was only 400 feet away when the work started.The engineers recognized that this was too close for tots \"büt théy-had- no cholce, for if the wall had been built any further back it would not cut off the main body of the coal basin and hence would be useless as a barrier.\u2018 Therefore, all the risks had to be borne.As soon as the first drafts were sunk they created a draft that carried the fire literally roaring toward the barrier îine.The ground was so shattered that it seemed almost like cutting through quicksand.The rocks through which the men had cut became so hot that 2 miner could not touch them with his bare hands.An insidious gas came through\u2019 the cracks in tbe rock: it filled all the shafts.Lights would \u2018not burn in it, and men who were subjected to its fumes quickly collapsed.When this-fire damp tirst began its work, it created panic, and volunteers could not be induced to go down into- the shafts, Undefeated, President Lathrop immediately installed powerful ventilating machinery, and a field hospital on the ground was equipped with the most powerful restoratives.Surgeons were employed to take care of the men, high wages were offered to velunteér miners, and the dauntless president, Mr.Lathrop, set an example of courage by going down into the mine himself and directing the work.© Finally the requisite number of volunteers was obtained, and the three shifts were placed on duty, each working eight hours a day.Thirty minutes at a time was all that a man could stand in the shaft, and so every half hour the force at | work had- to be changed, and even with these precautions there were frequent cases of prostration.But so well did the hospital force work that not a bingle death occurred during the entire operation.\u2019 The work of excavation fs practically completed.The line of shifts, and the open cut have been tilled up: with fire-proof material.The alters] nating shafts ed up.There is a fireproof wall 500° feet long, twelve feet thick running from the top of the hill where the coal outcrops to the last shaft, which, at a depth of 176 feet, reaches: the permanent water level.From this shaft to the boundary of the coal seam, 247 feet below the surface, a tunnel is being driven, This will eut the lower coal seam in two, leaving \u2018hot a scrap, 5 of combustible: terial When the tunhel is cut \u2018through it .will be \u201cwalled up: with cement\u2019 and filled with mud.This will make the |- tire wall 1,050 feet over its total length, 700 of which goes to the surfacé of the ground and is in some places 175 feet from its, top to its \u2018base under ground: *.\u2018The cost of the work.is at $350,000, but if it does ts .work on his filled fleld and extinguish a fire at: has burned for fifty years in We, re;
