Il met three delegates from Kansas
yesterday at Didsbury, and took them
home with me and took them out in
the afternoon and showed them some
of the finest land that lays on top of
Gods green earth. They arc more than
pleased with this country. They stayed
with me last night; this morning took
them to Didsbury, and they went on

They all seem to be satisfied and doing

platinum wire to incandeseence. By
moving this once over the animals

Islands THAT Come and Go.

A mud island that lately appeared
near lne coast of German territory in
Southwest Africa has been a subject
of investigation. The island was Wis
tied on June 1, ,, and last, but had
disappeared on June Z, and soundings
of six and seven fathcms were obtained
on its site. Heavy rollers at the time
of the islands appearance did much
destruction about Pelican point, in
Guiding the destruction of large sec
ton of a new breakwater. The waters
of Walfish bay were not affected, how
ever; and it is pointed out that this is
evidence against any theory of volcanic
disturbance, and that the mysterious
island had an origin similar to the
mud Jumps" that are known to rise in
the Gulf of Mexico. Much sulphuretted
hydrogen escaped from the mud, the
odor persisting in the vicinity after the
island had sunk--Newcastle England

Curing the Morphine Hap1l.

A rather curious instance of how Tenn

reported from England. 1t seems that
a woman who had been victim of the
morphine habit for a long time took
some eighteen drachms of sodium bro
mide by mistake within forty-eight
hours. Of course, this was followed by
profound stupor, but five days later
the bromide was resumed, and contin-
ued for three days at the rate of two
drachms per day. She did not recover
from the profound bromism for ten
days, but at the end of that time found
her appetite for morphine entirely gone.
The doctor who attended her case re-
marked the effect it had upon her and
deliberately stupefied his next case of
morphiomania with bromide. with very
happy results, the patient entirely los
