Shaw, proprietor of a shop and gasoline station on the Kingston Road, just west of Brock- ville, turned to serve a customer shortly after 11 o'clock Wednesday night and found himself looking down the barrel of a revolver and ordered by the stranger to hold up his hands, only his presence of mind and his stern refusal to obey the summons saved him from losing the receipts of the day and probably other property | 2 in the store. Mr. Shaw and his son, Arthur, were in the shop at the time, and the former had just completed counting the contents of the till and had his back to the counter, when his son, who was in another part of the place, remarked to him that a man was crossing the road and making for | the store. When the man entered, Mr. Shaw turned around and found that a revolver was pointed at him and that he was being ordered to throw up his hands. The proprietor of the shop quietly looked at the in- truder, placed the loose money that he had been counting in his pocket and then looked at him again. Again came the summons, "Hands up!" In- stead of obeying it, Mr. Shaw started behind the counter for a stout club that he is accustomed to use, and the man followed him upon the other side. This action, accompanied by shouting on the part of Arthur Shaw, evidently took the visitor off his guard, for he straightway made for the door and disappeared. vi PORT PERRY Port Perry, Aug. 22.--Mr. and Mrs. Harry White, of Cold Water, visited Mr. and Mrs. P.

The Dominia is owned by the Telegraph Construction and Main- tenance Company, a British concern, and is the largest cable ship in the world. Officials of the Western Un- ion Telegraph Company hope to have the new line ready for tests by Sept. The end of the cable will touch land at Bay Roberts, Nfld, and will be linked in the Azores with the company's offices in Horta. The Dominia started its survey August 14 at Horta and reached Bay Roberts a week. later, The average speed was eight knots and constant soundings were made by means of an echo depth finder, The latter instrument radiates into the water a sound which is produced by an electrically driven diaphram. This sound travels to the bottom of the ocean and returns to the in- strument as an echo. The echo is conducted electrically to the indica- tor on the ship's bridge which trans- lates it into fathoms of depths.
