Concealed Will in Book.

A remarkable story concerning the
discovery of will was recently made
known. DR.. Peter Quin Keegan. an
elderly Irishman. and an LID. of Dub
lin university. was keenly interested
in botany. A short time before his
death he met Mr.. Ronald EllwOOd, trav-
eler for a Penrith firm, and a friend
ship sprang up, based on their bOtani-
cal studies. Doctor Keegan gave him
a book on the subject, but Mr.. ELL
wood had no occasion to refer to il
until few days ago. He then found
that two of the pages were fastened
together, and outside one Of them was
an instruction in Doctor Keegan's pc
culiar writing that the pages were not
to be opened until after his death.
Doctor Keegan being already dead, Mr..
Ellwood opened the pages and found
between them the old geltleman's will.

Will Build Russian Canal,

The project for the construction and
equipment of a Volga-Don canal, as
designed by the Russian minister of
ways and communications, has been
approved by the government. The pro-
jected canal will play an important
part in the economic development of
southeastern Russia and Of the VOlga
and Don basins. Grain from Tsarit-
sin and timber and ore from the Trails
will thereby obtain direct outlet to
the ports Of the Sea Of Azof and
thence to the Black sea. Moreover,
the canal will make 1t possible to sup
ply coal to oil the chief cities and in
dustrial centers of the VOlga and sur
rounding country from the rich coal
district of the DOnetz basin.
