What was really the cause of a} these deaths. According to the French and Bel- giuln authorities, after investigation, the deaths were not due to any com- municable disease; neither were the due to any poison gas.

There were five deaths in one village, two of them of people who had long been sufferers of heart dis- casc, one from tuberculosis, one from asthma, and one from obesity or overweight. "Apparently the deaths were due to nothing else but a sud- den severe spell of fog and cold." We are informed that the valley of the Meuse where the deaths occurred is deep and sheltered, and that cold air settles at~the bottom of such a valley. A fog itself will not increase greatly the rate of deaths" from tuberculosis but if with fog there is cold ol low temperature there is a sudden increase in the death rate in adults from bronchial, and lung dis- eases.

Health authorities of Great Brit- ain, which is well used to fogs, tell us that during the cold season every city is in danger of an increased death rate from a combination of fog, cold air, and air that is still. Now what can we do to prevent

in that it is the first unearthing of an Egyptian tomb wherein every- thing deposited in connection with the ancient rites and practices of these people is still intact. Most of the tombs have either been robb- cd- of their spoils or have crumbled to decay. ' But this specimen of ancient sepulture appears to be in a state of almost ‘perfect preservation, and the many materials brought to light are likely to produce some such emotional stir as was occasioned when the tomb of ‘rutankhamen “as reopened by Howard Carter

some eight years ago, when the famous explorer of Theban relics caught his first glimpse of the

passageway into the antcchambel- beyond, a spectacle that, we are told, left him almost speechless with

amazement. For, heaped about the room he saw furniture, couches, chariots, caskets, chairs, statues,

‘WEEDOITS, vases of alabaster, multi- icolorecl glass and stones, things of ivory and things covered with gold overlay, carven figures of the lion, the cow and hippopotamus, with rare faiencc work, unguents and funeral boquets-a collection of rich and splendid treasures excelling any previous find ever made within the Theban territory.

It appears that the recent discov- ery made by Professor Hassan will go far towards confirming the im- pression that our model-n world, with all its scientific researches and mechanical appliances, has no reason to boast of artistry anywise superior to the sedate skill of the ancient Egyptians, even if it can vie with the ingenuity and beautiful finish of the work perfected by their hands. And many savants consider that this ls doubtful. They opine that the civilization to which the Bible refers as "the wisdom of the Egyptians" attained a greater height some four thousand years ago than at any other period of the“ world's history.

yfllthis as it may, ‘the sarcop- hagus now unearthed is said to have been surrounded by seventy-eight vases of polished alabaster, forty potteryvases, gilded dishes, brace- lets, anklets, necklaces of exquisite workmanship, cones of glass and falence work, gold discs and jewels and precious. stones and flowers

A remarkable series of articles on the cflcct of the Bennett tariff policy on business and industry throughout Canada has been published by the Montreal Star. Garroboration of the facts in these articles comes in the form of an analysis by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics.

Alexander MacKintosh, political writer for the Liverpool Dally Post‘ and ilie British Weekly, has com- pleted half a century in the press gallery at Westminster. His record promises to rival that of the law Sir Henry W. Lucy, popularly known as "Toby M‘. P." of Punch, who ounded out his career by a volume of remi- niscences, "Sixty Years in the Wilderness."

In the British Weekly Mr. Milck- intoiih contru‘ the present Home of Commons with that upon which he looked down in Jamil-IT, 1881, when the press gallery was first opened to the provincial newspapers.
