His last remains were interred in the Lutheran Cemetery on Wuhan day morning at 10 o'clock Iron tne residence or Mr. C. Rehbeig. it is stated that asyndicate of wcaltltX Americans have purchased Mount Popoeatepel, an extinct vol- cano in Mexico, nearly 18,000 feet above sen level, ior thelpurpose oi developing its supposed inexhaustible supply of sulphur. Popocatepel was at one time, a great many decades back, an active volcano, but for 'lu- ly two hundred years it has gi no indications of the smouldering forces that once moved it. During this protracted period a repose the accumulated deposits of sulphur in the capacious crater has become hard- ened on the surface, but from trial borings it has been found that the sulphure is still liquid at a depth of some sixty [net below its harden- ed surface. For nearly one hundred years considerable quantities of sul- phur have been laboriously carried by perms up out of the crater and down its snow-clad sides, and, after un- dergoing a (process of refining, is sold at about forty dollars a ‘ten lint the supply is utterly inadequate to meet home consumption, and thou- sands of tons of sulphur are being annually imported into the republic. The American engineers now propose to run a tunnel to tap the deposit of melted sulphur some six hundred leet below the mouth oi the crater. This tunnel WI” slant slightly upwards from its mouth, and will be lined with a. tireresisting wall, so that when completed a stream oi molten sulphur will llow out oi it into large basins dug out ot-the side of the mountain. Refining works will be mountain here cs' here established, Vanda cog-wheel railway will he built to connect the refinery shth the city ol Mexico.

The report of High School In- spector John Seam, who visited the Berlin High School a few weeks ago, has been received by the local au- thorities, and is of a satisfactory character. . Under the head oi accommodation he classes the water closets, water supply, school grounds, teachers' pri- 'vate rooms, heating, ventilatign, as number one-the highest rating. The school buildings, caprooms, desks, blackboards and Jighting are given as 'the second grading, and'the class rooms, waiting rooms and halls, the third. Some of these branches, were at the previous inspection given a higher classification than this time, even though hnprovements have been made during the. interval. Under eiuiprhent, the inspector says, "The Science equipment is very good." In some respects the provision for teaching the prescribed course of study is insufficient, owing to the inadequacy of the stall The addition of a commercial specialist would en- able the principal to make proper provision tor all departments. He pronounces the division of duties among teachers as not satisfactory, but adds that under present condi-' tions the detect is unavoidable. The stall is all legally qualified for Collegiate Inititute standing; :1 com- mercial specialist must be appointed. The discipline is satisfactory. We character ot the teaching is gone into fully. Mathematics, classics. commer- cial drawing, reading, drill, are all classed as good. In reading, of 28 pu- pils examined, _25 are classed good, and 3 lair. "This is an unusually good record," he adds. The book- keeping sets and drawing he classes as very satisfactory. In concluding, he says, "I have great pleasure in com- mending the progressiveness of the Berlin board. The school will, lhope, be a collegiate institute belore the closing of the present year. ' Itake this opportunity ot cxpresg» ing my appreciation of the board's treatment of its late principal. He has well deserved its generos- ity. There has never been an tamer teacher, a better scholar, or a more worthy man. The board, I may add, is justified under the changed condi- tions, in expecting much from the new principal, who has well deserv- ed his promotion. ...

The accumulated fund ot the lodge amounts to $1,172,824.53, and owing to judicious management of lodge finance, is.steadily and rapidly increasing. Canadian mild cured bacon_and hams are becoming very popular in Great Britain and are preferred to those imported from the United States, as they are leaner and there is always adcmund for lean cuts. Canadian packing houses should make a close study oi the various British markets and supply them with the cuts which are in demand by the con- sumor. BACON AND HAM TRADE 1903 There is still room for improvement IS regards packing cases-thee are often made of knotty lumber, badly nailed and no battens at ends (same a: American packers use) wh.ich give double nail bearings. Heavy split wood hoops should be used to bind round each end of the case and tor extra large cases an extra binder should be placed round the centre.
