The United States Leads in That Regard. Toronto, May 9.-Principal Paken- ham, of Toronto . technical sé¢hepol, af- ter a trip to the states, says the Americans are unguestionably the leaders in technical education, and not the Germans, whom we have hith- erto been following. The Amevicans proceed on the uineiple that every artisan needs, first of all, an educa- tion. They don't twn out rule-of- thumb machinists and carpenters, hut they so train the boys that when they reach the workshop they ecasily master every difficulty. One principal told Mr. Pakenham that they did not repeat in the school room the eondi- tions of the workshop, but that every technical school insisted upon a care- ful wvientific training. There was no overlapping the teaching of the classi: cal Nigh school, Mr. Pakenham says. The Americans understood that their artisans required a different kind of tratning from their professional wen, and so they separated thpm. Ontario, he says, knew nothing about spend- ing money on education. Where ten dollars were spent over here a hund- red were spent in the states. MEMBER FOR YUKON.

DISAPPEARS ON WEDDING EVE A Young Farmer Near Cobourg Mysteriously Missing, Cobourg, Ont., May 9--The village of Burnley, twenty miles east of here, is excited over the mysterious disap- pearance of a prominent young 'farm- er who vanished on the eve of his wedding day. Lorenzo ~ Nathan is the man who has disappeared, and Miss Ellen Shaw is the young woman whom he had promised to lead to the altar. Nathan was a prosperous farmer, popular am- ong his associates, and a man who took an active interest in politics. Both he and Miss Shaw were promi nent im local society. They have been "keeping company" for some time, and when the bans were pub- lished for the first 'time two weeks ago Surklay, no one was surprised. On the morning set for the wed- ding Miss Shaw arrayed herself in her bridal gown, and, surrounded by her bridesmaios and members of her fam- ily, awaited the coming of the groom. Down at the church, a stone's throw from the bride's home, a curiops crowd haa assémbled, and inside Rev. Father O'Connell waitea patiently for the wedding party. The wedding was set for eight o'clock, and when Na- than did not put in an appearance at nine a messenger was dispatched to his bome. There it was learned that the young man had not been home since the previous evening. The mem bers of his family thought that he had spent the night with some bachelor friends, and were anxiously awaiting his return. Enquiries were then made among his friends, but nothing tan gible regarding his movements could be elicited. The news of his disappear ance wes: then broken to his intended, who collapsed completely, and has since been in a precarious condition. Up ta the might of his disdppearance young Nathan bad been making pre parations for the wedding. A couple of days prior to' that he drew $200, and it is known that fe carried this sum on his person. On the night of his disappearance he left home with the intention of going to a neighbor- ing village, but it has since heen learned that he did not go there. It is now feared that he was murdered and robbed on some of the lonely roads near here, and that his body wad then * hidden. - Searching parties have scoured the woods in this viein itv, but no trace of him can be found. Some advance the theory that he re lented at the-dast minute and left the country. This theory, however, 'does not appear tenable. inasmuch as he leit nearly all his clothing behind him, and made no provision for the caring of his stock or the tilling of his farm. He owns one of the best farms in the township. Sanuel Clark, M.P., has a timber limit and saw mill at Burnley, and visita that place once a. week. He re is in a ports that the community lh er lh oi wep | state of fexvid excitement over the af er, who eek, 8 wid | i fair, and that while opinion is divided, | many think that there has been foul play. The iniended bride is one of these, Sho refuses to be comforted, and it is" feared that her mind will give way under the strain. Death Of Miss C.' O'Donnell. About six o'clock this morning, af ter a long illness, Caroline, second daughter of ¥. O'Donnell, keeper of Kingston penitentiary, fell asleep in death. For some time past the end was expected, but Miss O0'Don- nell recovered somewhat. A month ago het brothers came from New York on account of her critical illness, but left again. Her sister, Adaie, a train ed nurse in Rochester, N.Y., was with hér for some time past. Her father, mother, two brothers and two sisters survive. The deceased was a young lady of kindly and amiable qualities, and ber death ix sincerely mourned. Goes On The Road. Perth Courier. W. H. Churchill, who recently sold his grovery business to J. H.

New York, May 9-The Herald's London correspondent cables: As a result of Dr. Koch's startling stars nients respectillg consumption at ube international dongress on tuberculos is in July last the Royal ggricultural soviety of England appointed a spe- cial committer to supervise some im- portant experiments, © conducted at the Royal veterinary college, av to the posmibility of infecting bovine ani mals with tuberculosis material from human subjects. These experiments were carried out on 54 cow, two cal ves and two yearlings. I now learn the results, which are of great importance. In the case of the. cow tuberculosis material was injected in the udder; in the calves it was given by the mouth, and in the yearlings it was injected into the veins. In a strict sense of the word it can not be' said that the experiments proved the impossibility of infecting cattle, with human tubercle bacilli, for in the case of the cow the human bacilli had multiplied in her hody and had indicated 5 manifestly di condition. In the other cases also re actions to tuberculin, after the at- tempt to infect with human baalh, would appear to indicate that infee- tion had actually takes place. In the case of the cow the recovery was not complete six monthe after infection. Taking all the facts into account, the experiments indicated that the risk of caitle becoming affected na- turally from consumptive human be ings must be very slight. The Roval society, howover, does not feel justified in drawing from the results of the experiments anv con- clusions as to the risk of infection in the opposite direction--namely, from cattle to man.
