OBITUARY.

The death OF Mrs. Mary Allen Smith,
which occurred August 5, removes one
more of the older generation from our
midst. Nearly her entire life was passed
here in her native town. She was the
oldest daughter Of the late Hon. Isaac s.
osgood, and OF large family OF brothers
and sisters, but one survives her-Mrs.
Fanny Angelotti, Of San Francisco.
In her early womanhood she became the
wife OF George Allen, but was left a
widow in a few years. She taught some
in the common schools. Later she mar
ried Herbert Smith, OF Lynn, Mass, who
died here some years ago. She had been q
member OF the Baptist church for more
than three score years. She had been
falling in health for some time.
Funeral services were held this fore
noon.

ASBESTOS MINES IN
QUEBEC INEXHAUSTIBLE
Profit of Manufacturers Said to
Be Great

Consul Gebhard Willrich of Quebec
City furnishes the following informa-
tion concerning asbestos mines ana
mining in the Canadian province OF
Quebec, in answer to an inquiry:
There are approximately 1S mills In
this province producing crude asbestos,
prepared ready for the manufacturers
use. Within the next 12 months there
will probably be half dozen more
mills in operation, as several new min
ing companies have recently been
formed.
Most of these asbestos mines are To-
Gated In the Thetford district in Meg
antic county, about lis miles to the
southeast of this city.
A company composed of American
and Canadian capitalists controls eight
of the Thetford properties, the remain
der being independent concerns, mostly
stock companies.
The deposits. as far as known, are
considered inexhaustible, and the mines
now in operation and those to be
opened in the future will be able to
meet all demands of an expanding mar
ket It is known that large asbestos
deposits exist in what is practically an
unexplored region around Lake Chi
bogamo, and in other parts of this
province north of the ST. Lawrence
river. These deposits have remained
undeveloped owing to lack of trans
portation facilities.
Asbestos goods are not made in
Canada, but three factories are in
course of construction for such manu-
facture. The profits of manufacture
are said to be great

EXPORTS OF MATING

the Roll Goods

The value of the export of Japanese
mating from the Kobe district was
S2,2SS,153 in 1909. as compared with
S2,S7o,530 in 1908, a decrease of S5s2.-
377, or about 30 per cent Consul David
+. Wilber thus discusses the rse of
this trade:
This falling off is attributed to vari-
Gus causes, the chief one beinE that
for several years up to 1909 the .s7aIity
of goods shipped has, it is said, }eteri-
Grated very much, with the resus that
many complaints have been rts eived
and buyers in America have iacome

Further, the fall in 1909 may He at

ruling during 1907 and 1908, sHd to
sales of considerable quantities ofAsoods
by auction in America. The JAN fEinese
government is now talking of petting
further restrictions and condition kupon

WORK BEGINS ON
BAY CITIES DAMS
Tevis Company Is Creating
Catchment Basins in Mt.
Hamilton Watersheds

OAKLAND, Sept. S.-The Bay Cities
water company has commenced work in
the region of Mount Hamilton on dams
and tunnels for the catchment basins
to be used in supplying water for the
east bay cities. The work in progress
is on dams in Arroyo valley, Smith
creek and Isabel creek, to which will be
added the Bonita creek district, max
ing total catchment area of 10 miles.
Two dams, each 110 feet high, are to
be placed in the Smith creek basin; the
dam in Isabel, creek will be 115 feet
high, and in the Arroyo valley will be
dam 100 feet high, of solid masonry,
which will make a basin for 10000 000,-
600 gallons of water.
The reservoir work near Mount Ham
ilton will cost about $5.00o,000, the
plans calling for basins to hold a mini
mum supply of 100000 gallons a day
for Oakland and contiguous territory.
When the basins are completed work
Will be begun on the main trunk con-
duits from the catchment area to the
bay region.

HYDROCYCLE is BEING
USED IN GERMANY
Sporting Circles Interested Over
Machines Possibilities

In German sporting circles Consul
Thomas H. Norton of Chemnitz says
interest is excited over the possibilities
of a newly devised form of locomotion
for use on water. termed the hydro
cycle"
It is of exceedingly simple construc-
ton A couple of parallel, pointed
water tight tubes of galvanized iron,
101z feet in length, are attached to
each other two and one-half feet apart
A light framework supports seat
Beneath this is q pair of pedals, the
motion Of which is communicated to
propeller blades. A handle bar in front
of the seat is connected with a rudder
The traveller using this novel craft, by
a pedal action Identical with that of
the ordinary bicycle, moves easily over
the surface of the water and alters his
direction promptly at will He has an
advantage over the rover in facing
forward. as does a. canoe paddler
The total weight of one-seated
hydrocycle is s6 pounds. The inventor.
an Austrian (Herr Fr. Kaspar). attains
a speed Of six to seven miles per hour.
The new craft offers an agreeable
variation from ordinary rowing, for use
on inland waters and along the sea-
shore. More Ella aborate construction pro-
vision for more than one passenger, and
other improvements on the fundamen-
tai idea, may enable 1t TO become a
popular feature in marine sports, while
there are certain practical elements in
the combination of simplicity and
cheapness in construction which are
worthy Of careful study.

the government. 1t brought out q
storm of protests from the medical fra
ternity. Physicians took the stand and
swore that the mice which the govern
ment claimed had died from the effects
of aconitine poisoning had really been
frightened to death or killed by the in
jecting needle.
The jury brought in a verdict of
guilty and Lamson was sentenced to be
hanged. He protested his innocence
until all hope on respite had van
ished and then confessed that he had
poisoned both Percy and Herbert.
The ease with which he had accom-
plished the death of the one led him on
TO the commission of the second mur-
der. Lamson's wife, the sister of the
murdered boys, believed in her husband
to the last and sat by his side in the
dock all through the trial.
A case in which English justice
lacked the final buttress of a confess
sion was that of Eliza Fleming, a sery-
ing maid, who was hanged in 1915 For
the attempted poisoning of her en-
ployer's family. That the girl died
unjustly was the belief of all London.
Ten thousand persons followed her
body to the grave, through streets
thronged with other thousands. The
windows and doors of the shops were
draped in mourning and the housetops
were nlled with great multitude.
The family for which the girl
worked became i'll after eating a din
ner prepared by her. The girl herself
ate of the same food and also was
i'll, but this fact carried no weight
with the jury that convicted her. The
remains of the food were analyzed and
found to contain poison. Many circum-
stances pointed to her innocence; she
had made no attempt to destroy the
food that was left. even the dishes
from which it was eaten remained
unwashed She was ignorant of poi
sons. had no means of procuring any,
and was not shown to have procured
any. She was convicted. None of the
members of the family died from the
effects of the poison, but the English
law of that day exacted death for at
tempted poisoning, and Eliza Fleming
suffered the penalty, protesting her

ENGLAND HAS A NEW
TEMPERANCE DRINK
Beverage Looks and Tastes Just
Like Beer

Consul General John l.. Griffiths of
London furnishes the following in
formation concerning a new temper
ance drink now being introduced in
England:
There has been recently placed on
this market a beverage which it is
claimed is Misunderstanding and still re-
sembles and tastes like the intoxicating
beer. 1t is brewed from malt and hops
only has no preservative in it, 1t
does not look unlike beer and the taste
is very similar. 1t is of precisely the
same materials as the best English
home brewed ale, but alcohol is almost
entirely eliminated, and it is stated that
there is no chemical admixture of any
kind. The amount of alcohol produced
by the brewing process in this beverage
is given as nine-tenths of / per cent
which is less than the percentage to be
found in any of the ginger ales. stone
beers and other temperance beverages
The process by. which this beverage
Is made is the invention of a French
scientist, while certain modifica tions
were made by one of the professors of
the Paris Pasteur II stitute and an Eng
lish brewer. Two kinds are made. ale
and stout. The ale, it is claimed has
the flavor of light beer, and the stout
tastes almost exactly like a good quail
ity of London stout.
