Mrs. Beatrice Houdini. widow of the celebrated magician wh0Idl¢d

The situation is an ironical one.
As an exchange points out, Houdini. a magician himself, and the clever-
est of his time was the arch-oppon-
ent of ali the mediums and "con- trols" and supernatin-alists among
the exponents of the psychic phen- omena. He could perform more marvels than any man, and wuld out-fake all the fakirs-and he could
always tell you,-and generally was perfectly willing to tell you- how
the trick was done. He professed to know how the tables were suspend- ed in the darkened seances. and whose was the fleshly hand that performed the ghostly i-apD\ll8¢ and he dismiss- ed all the apookincss and the creepi-

surely we are no “forrarder§" on this quest. We do not know what Hou- dini is, or wiicre; but we know what he was. and we know that the tables never moved for him by any glicstly

Notes By The Way
Wan' bavo our `Qwn'= Cwnty
rude;-gl representatives been
thipkihg about to allow the s. s. Btanleytobepiaoedonthewestern route? It is claimed that throl-lib the activities of Mr. A. L Mclean, M. P., the transportation service. during thetie-u.poftl'ie¢ll’l¢l'l’Y\li3b°¢ll diverted from the oeoraewvn-Plcwv route, its proper channel. to Borden and Tormentine, with Bummei-aide as an -alternative port of cali on this side. It wo,uid be just as feuible to have the service between Charlvtte- town and Pictou, so far as the ice conditions are concerned. Evidently Messrs Sinclair and Jenkins are not so 'much "in the k:w'.v" as their Prince County cozifrei-c-_ who general- ly about no .aps ahead of them when it comes to currying favor at Ottawa. The local Liberal organ assured the public that the Queens County representatives are aiertly watching developments. They are evi- dently watching from the shore while their colleague in Prince County is Lndilstriousiy paddling his emi canoe.
The appointment of a 'Irade Com-
niissioner at Toronto to develop trade between the Maritimes and Central Canada should work out something to the bencflt of both. The Trade Commissioner. Mr. Burnaby, has the reputation of being a live wire. It was because of this reputation that he was appointed to such an import- ant position. We believe he may be depended upon to do his best; but we must not expect him to do it all
while we stand idly by and watch hiui do it, and oriuolzo him if be mls. To _nite this undertaking the suc- cess it deserves to be will require co- operation and mutual understanding between the Commissioner, the Pro- vincial Governments which have em- ployed him, and the producers and business men of the Maritimes. He may be depended upon to look after his end of the business, but we must not neglect the end for which we are responsible. '
The local Government organ, which
is ardently prohibitionist so long as prohibition does not interfere with politics, has so far refrained from ooinrnentingupon the position which the Federal Government has taken with respectto the Customs clearance of ships ¢&l'l'yin8 liquor to the United States. Canadafs position, as outlin- ed in the statement made a few days ago at the conference with American representatives of Congress at Ot- tawa, appears to be this: Violators of the law of the United States may buy liquor here and pay for it and the Dominion Govemment will odicially emotion its sale and its shipment to the United States, but the Gcvem- ment piously hopes the shipments will never reach their destination. After the liquor has been bought and paid for and cleared from a. Cana- dian port the Government will co- op_er_'ate_"in every way" to suppress the .trade ~tliat it has licensed and despatched.
A booklet. or 141 pages devoted to
the conferences of the British Par- liamentary Association during the visit of that distinguished body to Canada last year, has been issued by the Canadian Branch of the Asso- ciation at the Govemment Press, Ot- tawa. A considerable part of the work is taken up with a record of the conferences between the visiting parliamentarians and the-members of Provincial Legislatures. Three pages of this section _are _devoted to the "Maritime Provinces.” On pages 139- 140 we have a -record of the New Bnlnswick conference: on pages 140- 141, of the visit to Nova Scotia. "The rest is silence," The remainder of page 141, where the reader would naturally look for some reference to
the visit to Prince Edward Island, is

At first I saw nothing ex- cept the tops of stalls becel-iS! 1 W55 wedged in the- crowd. We pushed. md they ,pushed-not angrily bill in quid; good-humour-and gradually we began to move until we achieved something like a yard a minute. Then suddenly the crowd thinned and I
found myself ejected-and_ a little mm wg dangling gaudy suspenders not six inches from my nose- “TBKB a look at 'em," he was r08l'1ll€. After escaping' from these susP€n-
dere. I ,tained the group in front of a. seedy-looklns man who was talk- ing in an astonishingly loud and angry voice. He had not shaved that morning or perhaps the morning bl!- fore either. and wore neither collar nor tie. but nevertheless his stall glittered with gold watches. dozens anddozensof them, and not very far from the dirty fist he kept bang- ing down was a heap of money, a whole heap of it, pounds and pounds. There was nothing very Jewish about his appearance, but never before have I heard such a strong Hebralc ac- cent. When you heard his talk of “dose vatches" you would have sworn he was doing it on purpose. “In de Vest End you go and pay six tibes de prize for desc vatches. And vy? Be- cause. I tell you,'-’ he cried in a tow- ering rage. “dey're all robbers." And in a more tender mood, that man, I
am convinced, would not have hesi- tated to call you “ma tear."
Atmospherelof Dickens
I had imagined sucli accents were
no longer heard in _the world. In- deed, I have never met them except in the harum-scdrum novels of the
thirties and forties of the last cen- tury, early Dickens and Thacker-ay and ‘Valentine Vox' and ‘Ten Thous- and A Yea_r.' But indeed I might have suddenly been plunged into a chapter of one of those novels. \‘Vhcn I waspa boy and stared at those old illustrations by Cruikshank and '_'Phiz."_ so farit.astically~cl-owded and crazily energetic. I thought that London was probably like that. but afterwards I ,came to the conclusion that there was nothing realistic about those old illustrators, who merely re-
ported the doings in some dingy elf- land of their own invention. Now I
see I was wrong. I am prepared tp
of their day. ‘That London still pg;-_ sists. every Sundaymornirig in Petti. coat Lane.

ZEUZIPPOS BATHH
FOUND IN TURKEY
coNs'l'ANT1NoPi.E Jun. 22-.The
British Acadenl_v's expedition, vi-im-h this Fear is being generously pup. D°l'1ed by Sir Joseph Duveen, has been work!-ns in the iargg square be. tween the Sultan Ahmed Mosque and Saint Sophia. '
The work at first chiefly centred
round the further clearing of the circular buildinig found at the and of last season. which appeared to be mme P°l“l\°n -of the once famous Bmw 0! Zeuxlbnos. A hugo wuu, probably the exterior wail of the Baths, which was juet, wuphm im yelr. is being more completely clear- ed. On the inside of it to tho west are two large piers constructed of slwmallns courrrr or briok and stones. They are 'identical in coil- struction with those discovered last war. but it is impossible to day until after further clearance ln what con- nection they lie to the iers of last. year. The piera were orignially joined above hy a vault now broken ln. Ba. low they are connected by a brick floor from the side of which a cem- ent basin curves gently dowriwugig, At tha corner formed D1 one ofthe plan and the outside wall _ a deep boiagiveaacceal tnadrainoroon- duit of Byaantine date. Further ox- cavatiom are bulb! carried 'out to lay bare ‘the basin. and it ll hoped
