of seven lives on Feb. 8 was begun today
by Judge McTavish and r. A. Pringle.
K. c., the two government commission

requirements Of Parliament
Mr. Pringle declared that it was natural
to suspect an enemy hand in the de-
struction Of the Parliament buildings. He
said they knew of such fires in the
country to the south" and had informa-
ton Of one case where an especially pre-
pared liquid was thrown on papers and
burst into flames later.
The first witness was E. L. Norwood,
chief Dominion architect, who explained
the construction and design Of the burn
ed buildings. He was followed by Col

fed that the fittings of the reading room.

and proceeded to strike headquarters
on Washington street.
The shop owners claim that an in
crease in wages was granted within
year and that business conditions do
not warrant further concessions at the
present time.
AS the result Of number Of confer
ences during the day it was announced
by labor leaders that many of the
shops had granted the demands and
that a majority Of the stitchers would
probably return to work next Monday.
Proprietors Of shops which are not
unionized insisted that there were
many demands to which they could
not agree. although they expressed a
willingness to discuss the questions
with the labor leaders.

Why We Like the Movies.

otto Wells Of Norfolk. says the
reason that all classes like motion
picture plays is that each person puts
into the mouths Of the silent actors the
exclamations. words and lines that he
himself would use under like circum-
stances.
Incidents and situations are flashed
on the screen, but the spectator tells
the unspoken story to himself and
there is no possibility Of artificial,
strained or incomprehensible dialogue.
What the spectator imagines is the
thing that is natural to him. To one
who watches Hamlet with Yorick's
skull, the words Of the play may come

OF the 200 species OF ferns native to
this country few have become more
or less serious weed pests. The most
troublesome are the hay scented fern
and the brake. According to a recent
bulletin of the department Of agricul-
ture, cutting off the tops close to the
soil surface twice a year for two years
will kill out nearly all ferns. The best
times to do the cutting are just pre-
vious to sporting, or about the middle
