IJONDONfDec. 30.-—.—Ddsplt-e the »_ever-inc~reasin‘g problem _oi' how to handle the traffic of tlie‘ Metropolis °tere is a highway in London which, B0 lit!‘ as humajflpassengersd are concerned. is totally neglected. It 'is many years since 11118591189!‘ boats ran on the Thames. They

- were very popular in their time, , but the last three years of their popeirstion resulted in‘ o. loss of {nearly £170.000. Sir Samuel In- "stone has brought. “forward a - scheme for the revival of this form of tariff. The London County Coiin- was asked to provide landing ' stages, and Sir Satiiuel proposed tb ’ put ill'l.0‘ commission 26 steaniers with u. capacity for carrying 300 passengers apiece. The County

Spealsiiog of the irelatilons be- tween the Mother Country and the Dominions, M-r. O'Connor said that when he was in Vancouver he was very much struck by the remark of the editor of a paper who said. “You want our interest and supp- ort, but what trouble do you take to gain these thing's? We never hear anything from you except in very sparse telegrams» All the news

we got of the Mother Country comes from press agencies in the United States." "When in the United States he searched the

American papers in vain for the main topical of intrest here. Iiut had be wanted to know the doincs-

self justified in ‘cce _ing' the heavy financial risk involved, in view of the results ‘of previous un- iiertakings of this charactier.' The Thames, therefore. is "to reniuin steainboatless. This applies only to the roaches of the iriver abutting on Wesiiiiinistcr. tlie City of London. and tlie -busy stretch lower down. The upper reaches of the 'l‘iiainies for ninny years iii tho summer are well served with pleasure steamers run ‘by private enterprise.

Talking about traffic problems we mentioned in n. previous letter the, re-open-ing of‘ the - City and South London tube after complete modernization.‘ Thie- line comes in- to the. great “Unilergrouud" com- bine, which controls not only the Tubes and oth-er underground rail- ways, but ninetenths or more of the surface motorbuses. The re- opening of the C. & S. L. was at- tended by an ill-RIDGE‘ embarrassing display of public interest. Such iviis the rush for the first train tiiat Lord Asbfield, head of the great Underground coiribinta; will his fellow-directors, were them- selves compelled to "strap ang” wh-en they participated in th ‘ in- itial journey. It is said that, they all difd’ the thin-g pretty well-for

There is a rush of young men to the commissioned ranks of the Regiila-r Army. One hundred com- missions a year are now offiered to candidates nominated by 15 iip- provcd universities in the Uii-ited Kingdom, and at tlie half-yearly nominations last month more ap- plicants were recommended than iluring the whole of the preceding 12 months.

A good many visitors from Over- seas to London are taken to see the Foundling Hospital in Blooms- bury. lt certainly is worth anyonefs while to attend the morning service on Sunday and to behold the child- ren in their quaint costumes rang- ed in rows on ‘either side of Handel's organ. Visitors afterward have the opportunity of seeing the children at d-inner. The Foundling Hospital was established awiiy buck in the 18th. century by a sea- ilog, Captain James Coram ‘by name.

Perfect Speech From Lips 0f Man With Lafyrix Removed

NEW YORK. Jan s. --Med‘.i‘cill students and physicians _ at tlie Vanderbilt clinic. this afternoon. heard perfect speech from the lips of a man whose larynx had been removed and who for years had been unable to utter any sound- Tbe advice which restored the lost faculty-one of about forty in use —"was simple but delicate mechan- ism constructed on the principle of. the whistle in a toy balloon. it is the invention of Dr, John E. Mac- ken-ty of this city, and Dr. Harvey llllstcbsrurlvfliarence E. bane of the joint laboratories of th-e West- ern Electric Company and the Am- eriozn Telephone and Telegraph Company.

Tiie cinder.‘- s niui physicians in the clinic amphitheatre first listen. eti to a description oi tiie apparat- us by Dr- Richard Frotliingbam. Then u patient was brought in whose larynx had been removed in a cancer operation. His efforts to speak brought no sound except a. signing of the breath. An intake pad connected with a small rub- ber tube was placed over th-e aper- ture in his throat. He placed the tube in hismouth and began a conversation in which his voice dil- fered from the normal only in that it was in monotone and slightly guttural.

Hi8 BDecli was low pitched but perfectly intelligible. He bad been using the device several months. but "mastered" it within a few days. he said.

The device consists of a pad which is fastened ovier the orifice in tlie neck through yblcb the pa- tient breerthes uud a sound box about the size of a. pipe near the end of the rubber tube which is held in the niouth- The sound box contains this artificial larnyx which simulates the vocal chords. Air is forced from the lungs through tbs tube and into the sound box, where it Ls set in vibra. tion, and the vibrations are carried througbtbie tube into the speaker's mouth. There the words are formulated in much the some man- ner as if naturally produced in the throat.

‘Th-B thrwt orifice is prepared by brlnsins thiruimer end of the windpipe forward into the wound. which is sewied up in ‘such a way that the wlndplpe communicates directly with tho outer air. the wound has healed the patient wears the apparatus all day.

THE MARKETS

MONTREAL, Jan. 8—-Tbef‘e unis some enquiry from foreign buyers for Canadian grain here today. but ‘as most of the prices bid were out of line, the volume of business ac- complished‘ was small. The local trade in coarse grain was al-so slow but the tone of the market was steady. Ontario outs were quot- ed at 66 cents for No. 2 white, 64 cents for No. 3 grade, and 62 cents for No. 4 grade. Trading in spring wheat grades of flour was inactive market for winter wheat flour u-iis but prices ruled steady. The without iiny nwe feature to iioie.

The trade in cheese was quiet, but prices were firm, with current re- ceipts of No. 1 fodder nizidc good quoted at 12% to 19 cents per pound, and No. 2 grade iit 17% to 18 cents per pound.

Following the reading of the re- port its adoption was moved and seconded and unanimously endors- ed. The Chairman then asked for nominations for the offices for the ensuing year. Dr. Ayers moved and Mr. A. C. Duchemin seconded that the entire executive as at present composed be allowed to contiinne its good work. This motion on be- iifig put towihe meeting. ‘was un- animously curried. The Chairman then called on Rev. H. D. Ray- mo d. to pgdress the gathering.

pening"'h'is remarks. Mr. Ray- mond congratulated the Society on the repont whiich had been read. The work which the Bible Society ls doing is one of the greatest in the World. The speaker ruferrcd to the careful manner in which the origins! ‘I A misciiitlis of the Old Testamen had been preserved and to the fact that the originals of the New Tesbmeni. had been illl lost. 1t ‘was undoubtedly u good ithlng that thtl originals of tlie New Tcstmen-t had been ‘lost because the people of ‘the world would in all probabili- ty have set too much value on them

for the actual handwriting. it was, from copies, extracts and quotntiions that we learn the great Lessons of Life.

it was the reading of tlie Scriptures which brou-ght about the Protest- iint Reforninitiioii and it was the reading of the Sculptures which in- spiretl Luther, Knox. Wycliffe and iiiuny others in tlivir great works.

'l‘-he Reverend sipeuker dwelt i'ni- ‘pressively on ‘the manner in which tlie Bible was translated into dif- ferenit languages and told of the wonderful achievements the Socie- ty had made. Today ‘the Mother Society has to its credit the trnns- latlon of the Bible into 566 different languages. Other Bible Sodieties account for 200 more so that alto- gctht-r the word of Godwin today read in all parts of the world in more than 700 different languages. In thc years which have elapsed the Sotiit-liies have printed. published and distributed 102,500,000 copies. The Society is always ready to un- dentake the work of translating. printing and publishing the word of God in any language and iviithout quesbion as to payment. '

.Mr. Raymond announced that this year the Society was celebrat- ing the 400th anniversary of the printiing of t-he first English edition of the New Test-moot. Williiam Tyn- nslemxtenmcboiar. undertook. the work and aiitt-r persecution in Eng- land, went to Flanders where after ardnou-s toil the first version of the New Testment in English was printed.
