A sharp, cold wind blew up the St. with it came the fog from the Atlan- tie. Four masts and a funnel loomed+ up indistinctly, away out on the waters where, a few minutes before, sunshine had held sway. ' From the shadow of the wharf at Father Point a skiff shot out and lost itself in the mist. The dismal horn of the steamer hooted, and the bell warning message. In the skiff four sailors--pea- jacketed, brass-buttoned, visor- | capped officers of the pilot service-- rowed with grim determination. On the steam@ Montrose, five or six miles down the river, a nervous, careworn passenger paced the deck. "Half speed!" rang the bells from | the bridge. "What are we doing now?" in- quired the passenger of Dr. Stewart, | the ship's surgeon. "This is Father Point, Mr. Robin- son, and we take the pilot aboard here," replied the doctor. "You can see the boat coming out to meet us -----yes, over there!" « "There"seems to be a good many Fpilots in"the boat, doctor," remarked " | "Mr. Robinson." And as he scanned Ahe-approgching craft there was evi- | dent anxiety stamped on his face.. "Yes," replied Dr. Stewart; "there are four." "Stop!" clanged the bell from the bridge to the engine-room. The men In the skiff rested on their oars, a rope 'uncoiled neatly, and the little craft was drawn alongside the larger vessel. A few seconds later Inspector Dew, of Scotland Yard, and his compan- ions stood on the deck of the Montrose. The little party stood chatting with the captain of the Montrose. Dr. Stewart and 'Robinson' were walk- ing up and down the deck. Inspector Dew glanced sharply at "Robinson." Yes, there was no mistake; he was his man. Quietly the inspector went up to "Robinson." "I want to see you for a moment below," he said, then, turding to accompanied him, he said, "That's the man." "I arrest you in the name of the king," said McCarthy to "Robinson." "You are my prisoner. Anything you say will be taken down in writing and used in evidence against you." Dr. Crippen, the murderer of his second wife, was an arrested man. A few minutes later a woman's scream from below told that Miss Le Neve, still in her disguise as "Mr. Robinson's" son, had also been dis- covered and arrested. These arrests had been brought about by wireless, says a writer in Popular Wireless. Two hours out from Antwerp, Captain Kendall had had his suspicions that amongst the passengers on his ship he numbered the wanted Dr. Crippen and Miss Le Neve. He made astute investiga- tions, and two days later was so sure that he was right that he. wirelessed to his owners. They communicated with Inspector Dew, and the Scotland Yard detective rushed off to Liverpool to catch the next boat to Canada. It happened to be the Laurentic, and it landed him in Canada just before the Montrose arrived. On the morning of the arrest the following wireless had reached him from Captain Kendall of the Mont- rose: "Crippen is having breakfast, Suspects nothing. Your instructions carried out to .the letter. Le Neve not out yet.--Kendall." Captain Kendall told Dew after- wards: "Crippen would often sit on deck and look aloft at the wireless aerial and listen to the cracking elec- tric spark as messages were sent out by the Marconi operator. Once he re- marked, 'What a wonderful *inven- tion!' " That is the story of the first arrest ever made by wireless. That was twelve years ago, but it gives a hint of the possibilities of using wireless as an aid to the apprehension of criminals. «Our Apple Crop. Quebec and New Brunswick are the only provinces of Canada from which more commercial apples can be expected this year than in 1921-- that is according to the latest official asricultural statistical estimates from Ottawa. Dast year was an -exesption- ally poor year in Quebec for apples, and the yield this year, while much better, is not equal to that of 1920, when the returns showed 38,000 bar- rels, against an expected 61,600 barrels, New Brunswick returns in- dicate 30,000 barrels in 1920 and 83,000 barrels in 1921, while 41,250 barrels are expected this year. On- tario, it is thought, will be ten per cent. less this year, the anticipated yield being 796,500 barrels, compar- ed with 885,065 barrels in 1921 and 1,621,000 barrels in 1920. In On~ tario this year Baldwins are reported very light and Greenings and Spies light, considerable fungus being not- ed. In Nova Scotia a yield of 1,628,- 800 barre looked for this year; a oonsidera ncrease over the crop fn 1920, but 20 per cent. less than in 1921, when 2,036,065 barrels ered in. In British Colum- 7 other province showing uétion in export quantity, the yield} anticipated this year is 2,538,000 , Or 20 per cent. less than in 1921. In that province the reports give Delicious and Jonathan as heavy and Wagner light. RON Brockville's Boast. The removal to Brockville from Westport, to practice his profession, of Col A. W.

Some years ago a family, were all poisoned by eating rabbit ple, and | though happily non€ of them died, yet all went temporary oiind. Sour cream causes a curious weak- ening of the sight, technically knows as "amblyopia." A similar form of blindness comes from eating tainted fish, and is not uncommon in Italy, where the peasants eat a gond deal of salt and dried fish. There are two different fruits which cause blindness. One is the so-called "finger cherry' which grows wild in Queensland. The fruit is a long red berry, not unpleasant to the taste, and is common in the Cairns and Townsville districts. This "cherry'" acts by destroying certain nerves, and the blindness re- | sulting is incurable. The other blinding fruit is also a | native of Australia. It is a kind of | melon, which appears in great quan- tities after the breaking of a long drought. Horses" and cattle eat it greedily, and as a result lose their sight. At one time the horse raisers of New South Wales insisted upon a Govern- ment inquiry into the matter. The milky sap which exudes from an African tree called the Asclepias Gigantea is most dangerous to the eyes. A single drop coming in con- tact with the eyeball causes total blindness. This tree produces a beautiful, silky vegetable down excellent for stuffing pillows, yet so mueh are its poisonous properties dreaded that the natives rarely pick or use this valu- able product. Wireless Efficiency. "Look at the photograph of the 'wireless policeman' of the future," writes R. W. Hallows in the Strand Magazine. "His aerial consists of wires concealed beneath his tunic; the earth-wiré runs down his leg to the iron-shod heel of his boot--and it must be admitted that a police- man's boot makes ample contact with the ground. "Upon his sleeve is pinned a buszs- er, which actuated by the radio- receiving circuits, emits a singing) note to attract his attention when he is wanted by headquarters. The rest of the apparatus 18 so small that it can be carried with ease in his pockets or in a small pouch upon his belt. Fitted out in this way, Robert will become even more useful than he has been in the past, for when his presence is required in any quar- ter he will be able to receive a mes- sage in a flash. If, for instance, there Ns an outbreak of rowdyism a hun- dred 'Radio Roberts' can be told in- stantly just where to go, and their sturdy forms will appear from all sides in time to 'move on' the Jof- fenders before they can do any ser- ious damage. "The 'wireless doctor' id another feature of the new age. You will no- tice that the aerial consists of a wire running around the top of his car. As he is speeding along from one house to another, the receiver placed near his ear suddenly begins to talk. 'Pr. Jones, Dr. Jones, Dr. Jones,' it calls. There comes a short pause: then--'Accident in Bridge road," or 'Urgent case, Mr. Smith, of 14 High street." Such particulars as are known are given to the doctor, who makes his way without delay to the place where his aid is required. He mey, also send messages from time to thme to the drug store to order the despateh of medicines to urgent cases, or to the hospital to summon a nurse if her services are required without delay. "Many a man and woman may owe their lives in future years to the sav- ing of time effected by the doctor's wireless telephone." i ------------ Ireland's Harp. We have been hearing a good deal lately about the Irish harp, as we see it on the Royal Standard. But does any one know why the harp displayed the "cro of Munster?" as the-heraldic dgvice of Ireland? According to a regent authority, it was Henry VIIL-~the first British monarch to eall hi If "King of Ireland"~~who definitely made the change, though no Irish device of any dort appeared on the Royal Standard itself till the reign of James I. Various guesses have been made as to Henry's motive, one be- fag that the three golden crowns on a blue ground might be mistaken for the Pope's triple crqwn. But the Earl of Northumberland, writing in the seventeenth céntury, had a view of his own rather interesting just now. He thought the harp was sin- gularly appropriate, since it resem- bled Ireland "in being such an in- strument that costs more to keep it in tune than it is worth." ¢ A e-------- Japancse Cleanliness.
