Large Iiumbers 0f Visitors Arrive For Old illcme Week

with the opening of 01d Home Week in Charlottetown but a few hours away—the Exhibition opens at 0 o'clock to-morrow morning- literally thousands of visitors from the Mainland are pouring into the Province.

Both Borden and Wood Islands have been scenes of great activity during the past few weeks. for this has been the greatest tourist season the Province has ever known, but unusually large as has been the average daily influx of visitors to those ports for the months of June and July, it has been made to look insignificant compared to the numbers which ‘nave been coming to the Province daily for the last few days. Char- lottetown is full of visitors and the end is not yet.

Yesterday the car ferry “Prince Edward Island" made nine cross- ings from Tcrmenttne and carried between 45 and 50 motor cars on cnch crossing and it is expected ller carrying capacity will again be taxed today.

ST. JOHN'S, h-Kldq Aug. tReuterst-The British cable ship John W. MacKay now 1n port here has presented to the geologi- cal survey a piece of rock that is puzzling scientists. 1t weighs near- ly a ton, and was hauled u.» in mid-Atlantic from a depth of z 1-4 miles.

One theory is that it was de-

The rock measures only two and
