OLDEBT POLICE CELL IN LONDON. Supposed to Be More Than 300 Years Old—Underground Passage. Behind a building known as tjie old Courthouse, Wellclose square, Stepney, stand what are supposed to be the oldest police cells in London, and under these is the entrance to a subway believed to have to the tower, nearly a mile distant. This subterapean passage IS now blocked up, and at the entrance there stands a skeleton; The building was formerly known as the high court of liberty and is supposed to be over three hundred years old. The courthouse is now the home of the German Oak club, and the fine apartment in which trials took place Is used for dancing, while the adjoining rooms provide accommodation for bilftards. A winding stone staircase leads to the two cells at the rear of the courthouse. At the top of the stairs Is a massivd and strongly barred door With a peephole in It. This leads to the first of the apartments. The only light which penetrates these dens comes through gratings high up against the-ceiling, and each is fitted with a shutter, by means of which the cells can be plunged into darkness. Nearly half the floor space in each room is filled by a wooden bed, and attached to the walls are the rusty chains with which the prisoners were manacled. Another object to be seen is a straight-jacket made of stiff canvas, with iron rings which can be fastened to the chains. Many names, inscriptions and pictures are carved on the wooden walls. One can still read the name of Edward Burk, who is said to have been hanged for murder. Close by is carved “Edward Ray, December, 27, 1758;” and another inscription runs "Francis Brittain, June 27, 1758. Pray remember the poor debtors.” On the floor of the first cell can be distinguished the squares of a chessboard cut in the solid oak. Over the door between the two cells can be traced the words, “The rule of the house Is a gallon of beer,” and just below, in neater characters, are the ivords, “John Burn came in April. 11, 1751,” One prisoner broke into verse thus; The cup Is empty, ,To our sorrow; But hope it will Be filled to-morrow. Another prisoner signed himself "James Carr, smuggler, 1787.” The pictorial efforts include churches, a crude representation of the tower of London, an anchor and the triple emblem of the rose, shamrock and thistle. Running under the roadway of Wellclose square is a dungeon lined with brickwork a foot thick. —London Standard. Those “Spy” Mirrors. A woman from Philadelphia: brought •to New York with her one of those little spy window mirrors popular down thd're because housewives can look out from their sitting-rooms and take in- the identi'y of callers before sending down word whether they are at home. This bred-in-the-bone Philadelphian pf't ached the mirror to a window siil in her Brooklyn apartment and proceeded to feel at home .because of its presence. Within a week the owner of the apartment requested her to take the spy mirror down. "The people in the next flat complain that you are trying to look into their rooms,” the owner said. —New Sun. Valuable Work of Woman. Mrs. Bertha Ayrton has succeeded in ascertaining the cause of the refractory behavior of the searchlight In certain respects, and in devising a remedy. The British admiralty called on Prof. Ayrton to investigate the trouble some time ago.

NEW DISTRICTS AND REV RAILWAYS WEBTERN CANADA AFFORDS BETTER CONDITIONS THAN EVER \ FOR SETTLEMENT. To the Editor Sir: —PoubtleßS many of your readers will be pleased to have some word from the’ grain fields of Western Canada, where such a large number of Americans have made their home during the past few years. It is pleasing to be able to report that generally the wheat yield ’ has been good; It will average about 20 bushels to the acre. There will be many cases where the yield will go 35 bushels to the acre, and others where 60 bushels to the acre, has been recorded. The oat and barley crop has been splendid. The prices of all grains will bring to the farmers a magnificent return for their labors. An Instance has been brought to my notice of a fanner in the Plncber Creek (Southern Alberta) district—where winter wheat Is grown—who made, a net profit of $19.55 per acre, or little less than the selling price of his land. 30, 40, and 50 bushel yields are recorded there. The beauty about the lands in Western Canada Is that they Are so well adapted to grain-raising, while the luxuriant -grasses that grow everywhere in abundance make the best possible feed for fattening cattle or for those used for dairying purposes. The new homestead regulations ■which went Into force September, 1908, attracted thousands of new settlers. It is now possible to secure 160 acres In addition to the 160 acres as a free grant, by paying $3.00 an acre for it. Particulars as to how to do this and as to the railway rates can be. secured from the Canadian Government Agents. “The development throughout Western Canada during the next ten years will probably exceed that of any other country in the world’s history,” is not the statement of an optimistic Canadian from the banks of the Saskatchewan, but of Mr. Leslie M. Shaw of New York, ex-Secretary of the United States Treasury under the-late Presi dent McKinley and President Roosevelt, and considered one of the ablest financiers of the United States. “Our railway companies sold a good deal of their land at from three to five dollars an acre, and now the owners are selling the same land at from fifty to seventy-five dollars, and buying more up in Canada at from ten to fifteen.” The editor of the Montlcello (Iowa) Express made a trip through Western Canada last August, and was greatly impressed. He says: "One cannot cross Western Canada to the mountains without bejng Impressed with Its Immensity of territory and its future prospects. Where I expected to find frontier villages there were substantially built cities and towns with every modern convenience. It was formerly supposed that the climate was too severe for it to be thought of as an agricultural country, but Its wheatraisTng possibilities have been amply tested. We drew from Ontario many of our best farmers and most progressive citizens. Now the Americans are emigrating in greater numbers to Western Canada. Seventy-five per cent, of the settlers In that good country located southeast of Moose Jaw and Regina are Americans. Canada is well pleased with them and is ready to welcome thousands more."
