The story of the new **Joan of Are‘‘ is a story that would reâ€" ceive little attention in â€" ordinary times but in tkese days of many wonders attention will be paid to it because of> the impression the girl has made among thoughtful and clevâ€" er people in France. The story may be read with interest whether acceptâ€" ed in full or not. Under the shsdow of the Arch of Triumph in the Place de 1‘Etolle in Paris, in the Convent of the Nisters of Wisdom, is the twontyâ€"yearâ€"old girl whose story has stirred all France â€"the modern Joan of Are, who has vowed to deliver Francee from the inâ€" vader. When she came to Pars a few days ago her first demand was that she be taken to the summit of Montmarâ€" tre, the highest point in Paris, just before dawn. There, standing beâ€" fore the Basilieca du Sacre Coeur at dnhw.‘l\, as the first shaft of sunâ€" ligsht piereed the mist and caught the top of the great bell tower, she took the vow to deliver France from the invader, as the snirit had directed No one was permitted to interview Mite.

A journalist who was permitted to see her commented on her appearance of refinement, especially her small white hands, though she had been acâ€" customed to hard manual work at lhome. Deputy Delahaye told the journalâ€" ist that a book written by the girl, ist that a booK written DNDY vicC §irl though illiterate, was a wonderful production, and savants and doetors of divinity assert it shows a greaf knowledge of the basic principles of theology. ‘There are passages in Latâ€" in, Greck and Hebrew, though the girl had no schooling. 1 % ho o Mile. Perchaud has always lived with her parents and ther sister on a little farm at Puyâ€"Saintâ€"Bonnet, a tiny hamlet eight nmiles from Cholet. Her peculiar personality and disposâ€" ition led her parents to agree with her teachers that it was better to let her ston lher schooline when she let her stop her schooling whnen sue wished. Since the age of 14 she ‘has been studving by herself. A year later she started the construction of a rude fieldstone altar on her father‘s farm. It immediately attracted the attention of neighhours, and then of those turâ€" ther off, until it ‘bhecame an oh]e t=of curiosity for the whole region. Gave Clues About Soldiers Mothers, wives and sweethearts of soldiers brought photographs of their dear ones at the front~ and placed them before tite statue of the Virgin Mary which adorned the girl ‘s rude altar. Her advice to women whose loved ones had been reported missing which frequently resulted in the solâ€" diers being foundâ€"often in Gorman prison camps or sulfering a shock of amnesia or aphasia in a distant hosâ€" pitalâ€"was the first indieation of the psychic powers possessed by the girl. _A week ago she announced to her lpzn'ents that a spirit had appeared to her charging ‘her with the mission of delivering France from the invader. She was taken to see the Bishop of Poitiers. He appeared, garbed in orâ€" dinary black, while an orâ€" dinary priest wore the purple robe of the Bishop. Without faltering or hesitating, the girl ignored the bogus Bishop, and kneeling before the real Bishop kissed his hand and told him of ‘her mission. Another priest accompanied the girl to Paris, where she made â€" her strange vow on Montmartre, gazing in the halfâ€"light of daybreak across the mistâ€"hidden eapital of France.

TRY TO DESTROY INTERNED SHIPS THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE Has Grown from $35,539 to Nearly Ten Millions in Six Years. Recently a writer in @a daily newsâ€" paper was at pains to point out that Cobalt Camp still leads the Porenpime in the production of wealth. Tlus is not a matter of news to most people with any acquaintance with the two Camps. The actual growth of the mining industry in the Poreupine disâ€" trict, however, is perhaps not as wideâ€" ly known. It certainly is a story of wonderful growth. Neven years ago there was no production here; last year nearly ten million dollars was produced in gold. At the same time it must be remembered that the growth is naturally comparatively slow at that, in view of the resources, for it is an expensive proposition to put even the richest kind of a gold mine on a producing basis. The ceapâ€" ital necessary to handle goldâ€"mining ig much greater than that required to work silver properties, and the eost of equipment and maintenance are also greater. ‘Yet, with all this, Poreuâ€" pine‘s growth has been spectacular. From nothing in 1909 to $9,800,000 in 1916 is ‘‘going some,"‘‘ as the hoys would say. Since its opening the Poreupine Camp has pi 1910 1911 1912 1913 1914 1915 1010 Totil .. ; ...

POSSIBLE SOURCE OF PEBELES FOR USE IN MILLING (From the Canadian Mining Journal) A possible souree of pebbles for mill purposes was indicated at the Montreal meeting by Mr. N. B.
