The last resting place of the famous inventor looks out over the town of | Baddeck, and across the blue waters ' of the Bras d'Or Lakes. The funeral was held just at sunset. Dr. Bell had been: in bed only: two days, and his. death came: ly at 2 o'clock: Wednesddy morning. While he had not been in his usual health all summer, he hed been em- ployed up to July 18 withy, work con- nected with 'his flying' boats: -- Death came peacefully to the aged inventor, the cause being progressive anaemia.

A despatch from London says:--The repatriation of Canadian ex-soldiers in England is to be continued. The sum of $150,000 has been appropriated for this purpose and will be available until next April. Uncertainty as to whether it is to be administered by the London office of the Department of Soldiers' Civil Re-establishment or by the branch of the Canadian High Commis- sioner's office, which has hitherto cor- ried on the work, has held up the whole scheme. It is now too late to return these Canadians in time for the harvesting and unless repatriation is commenced immediately they will arrive only in time for the Canadian winter. It is understood that the full ocean steamship fare is to be paid for these returned men, which means that only 500 or 600 men with their de- pendents can be repatriated with the sum available. Only ex-service men who took their discharge in England, unless they are Canadian born, are eligible. Others who returned here after taking their discharge in Canada are in a different position. As they have been twelve months or more absent from the Dominion, the Can- adian Government claims that -they are no longer Canadians. On the other hand, the British vernment claims they are still Canadians. They have thus become twilight citizens--men without a country. me lp ern Overseas Teachers at French Soldier's Tomb A despatch from Paris says:--Two hundred visiting school mistresses from Australia, Canada and New Zealand, deposited a wreath on the tomb of the unknown French soldier.

It is | declared that no patents for any inven- tion were ever subjected to such long and bitter litigation as the Bell Tele : phone patents. Mr. Bell was on the stand at one trial for 52 days, during which time he recited the history of, his invention with a Plea sness snd con- | clseness that characterized writ- ings and speeches through later years. | To commemorate the birth of the telephone in Brantford, «a beautiful memorial was unveiled there on Oc- tober 24, 1917. Dr. Bell was present and on that occasion emphatically con- firmed the right of Brantford to be known as the "Telephone City."

To date, the 1922 season has been the busiest in the history of both ware houses. RANGEMENTS TO PAY DEBT TO CANADA A despatch from London says: --A satisfactory arrangement has been made with Roumania by the Canadian Government . which will enable Rou- mania to pay off the principal and in- terest of the twenty odd millions of dollars which she owes to Canada. The Roumanian Government has for a long time been unable to meet even the interest due on the bonds which cover- ed the trade credit that Canada grant- ed to the kingdom in 1919. The new arrangement will extend the time for the payment of principal of debt, which would have terminated in 1924, for forty years, with interest at 4 per cent. for the period of 'extension, in- stead of five and one-half per cent. as under the original agreement. : The satisfactory feature of the new arrangement, from the viewpoint of Canada is that the Roumanian Govern- ment has ear-marked its export taxes as security for both the principal and the interest of the debt. The present bonds will be exchanged for forty-year bonds, one thirty-fifth part of which will be retired annually after the first five years of extended time. The in« terest overdue on present bonds will be added at five and one-half per cent. and compounded at six per cent. There has never been much doubt of Roumania's ultimate ability to meet its obligations to the Dominion, as it is one of the finest agricultural coun- tries in the world, but its recovery from the effects-of the war, which was over run by enemy forces and huge quantities of equipment and natural produce destroyed or carried off, has 'been hampered by lack of rolling stock for itg railways. The Roumanian Gov- 'ernment, however, announces that by the end of the present year it will have almost doubled the number of locomotives and cars in use.

This award of one thou- sand dollars Dr. Cushing has accepted, but he has asked the University of Toronto to send to Harvard University a brilliant young graduate who will work with him for one year and to whom the money will be handed over.

Mickle, | is the annual income from an endow- ment of twenty-five thousand dollars and is awarded annually to that mem- ber of the medical profession any- where in the world who is considered by the Council of the Faculty of Medi- cine of the University of Toronto to have done most during the preceding ten years to advance sound knowledge of a practical kind in Medical Art or Science. Last year, the first otcagion on which this Fellowship was award- ed, it went to Professor I. Pawlow of the University of Petrograd in recog- nition of the work that he has done in Physiology, particularly the Physi- ology of the Digestive Tract..

Kennedy Appoint- ed Head of Committee by Federal Government. A despatch from Ottawa says: --The Dominion Government has appointed a central advisory fuel committee to have general supervision over the sup- ply of coal and other fuel throughout Canada. It consists of Hon. W. C. Kennedy, Minister of Railways; C. A. Magrath and Fred McCourt, of Mon- treal. Premier Drury, of the Province of Ontario, is in Ottawa and has been in conference with Right Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King and Hon. Mr. Ken- nedy on the fuel situation, The Ontario Premier, it is understood, is arranging for co-operation between his Govern- ment and the Central Advisory Fuel Committee. The function of this central conitnit tee is regarded in Government circles as being consultative and supervisory. It is desired by the Government that the initiative in the supply of coal and other fuel should be taken by the provinces and municipalities and that the situation should be dealt with as far as possible through the ordinary channels of trade. If advice or in- formation is desired by any of these other bodies, the federal committee] will be ready to step in; but there is no wish to exercise any controlling| | Power or to supplant the ordinary methods of supply. Hon. Mr. Kennedy has been given : the responsibility of the work of this committee, as it is felt that a large part of the problem will be closely related to railways. = Mr. Magrath acted as fuel controller during the war and is regarded as being in close touch with the problem. . Mr. McCourt was formerly -engaged in the coal trade and consequently is believed to have a thorough knowledge of that braneh of business. Two Men.
