Parfumed Petrol.

Will motorcars in the future per-
fume our streets with the scent OF at
tar Of roses instead Of the evil-smell-
Ing mixture which offends our nostrils
as they pass?
The question Is suggested by the
statement that quarter Of a million
gallons Of motor spirit can be produced
In the Hyderabad state Of India by
distilling the flowers of the mowra
tree.
Mowra flowers ore very rich in su-
gar, and a ton of"the dried flowers
produces as much as 90 gallons of 95
per cent pure spirit. They have long
been in use for the preparation Of a
native alcoholic liquor; but only a
small proportion Of the trees available
Is needed for this purpose.

that there would never again be any
more convictions. But 1t seems that
such prosecutions have been revived,
for here comes a report from a Cana

woman over there has lately been SEN
fenced to prison for "practicing witch
craft" for all the world like the ac-
cusations that used to be filed against
people In this country.

claimed to be able to tell who commit

She said a farmers oats had been
stolen by man and boy; that they
drove bay mare, and proceeded west

would be found at a certain place,
about 40 miles away. The officers
found her story to be true, and ar
rested the parties who robbed the
farmer, but as the young woman who
gave the information was In no po-
sition to know the facts she related
except through communing with "the
spirits" people began talking about
her being witch, with the result that
