HIS EXPERIMENT WAS FATAL
Professor in Physiology at Montreal
Sacrifices His Life for the
Benefit of Science.

Montrea1.-G. r. Mines, a professor
in physiology at McGiu University,
met death mysteriously and tragically
in his laboratory at the university.
Just what caused his death is not
known, but William Peterson, princi-
pal, believes Professor Mines, in the
course of experiments upon himself in
his chosen branch of physiology, deal
ing chiefly with the phenomena OF the
heart action and respiration, proba bly,
lost his life because the apparatus
which was attached to his body got
out of order in some unknown manner.
Professor Mines had been in the lab
oratory all afternoon working on his
experiments. He was discovered in
an unconscious state by the janitor
shortly after 6 O'Clock. The broken
mechanism was still attached over the
professors heart. Aid was at once
summoned and Professor Mines was
conveyed to the Royal Victoria Hos
pital, but he died before midnight
without having recovered conscious
ness.
Professor Mines was % years old.
He left widow and two children. He
was a Cambridge University man and
recently came to Montreal from To-
ronto University.

CALL TO SOUTHERN WOMEN
Mrs. Josephus Daniels Declares Love
Should Eradicate Animosities
Between North and South.

Savannah, Ga--Southern women
should recognize and more fully &C.
cept the part they may play in eradi-
eating any lingering animosities be-
tween the North and South, declared
Mrs. Josephus Daniels, wife of the
Secretary of the Navy, in a talk in the
opening session here of the annual
convention of the United Daughters
of the Confederacy. Mrs. Daniels, as
a delegate from North Carolina, spoke
in response to an address of welcome.
Let those of us who know of the
travail of the 60s keep alive the glory
of sacrifice and the valor of the van
pushed to the last day of our lives"
Mrs. Daniels said. But let us not
look mournfully upon the past but
ask ourselves the question: How can
Southern women of the Twentieth
Century prove worthy of their lineage
and transmit to their children the
graces and virtues which were incar-
mated in the Southern women of the
war and reconstruction periods?''

Civil war expenditure of the federal
government was $3,400. ZOO, 900, near
~ thirteen times as much a year
as Napoleon's. The Franco-German
war cost France $3.50 900. 900, be-
sides an added war indemnity of ST.

which lasted only 100 days, cost Ger
many $3.50. 900, 900 for an average
fighting force of 1.250,000 men. The
other big European war of the past
half century. the Russo-Turkish war,
cost Russia s7s6. 100,0 900, but she had
two years fighting for her money.
The war in the far East cost Japan
$650,o00,000 and Russia $723, 000, 900,
not counting lost ships. Only toward
the end had either side anything like
million men In the field Italy's
little war with Turkey cost $500, 900 a
day. allowing for a mere $4,000 fight
