Mme. Brayda, who died recently, | was buried with £650 worth of jewels in accordance with terma left in her will. Two of the heirs suspecting that the jewels had been stolen made a plea for exhumation. The body was in consequence un- covered in the presence of a magia-Song- trate. It was found to be wearing all the jewels, and the coffin was therefore sealed up again.
Later, however, somebody walk- ing in the cemetery noticed that the cover of the tomb had been remov- ed and clasps of the coffin lossened. The police, being informed made investigation and discovered

that the jewels had been removed in the night, a hole having been broken into the coffin.
The original allegations of theft had an unexpected sequel in the opening of divorce proceedings by the wife of the man wrongly sup- posed to have appropriated the jewels. The latter had, unknown to his wife, at one time been the friend of Mme. Brayda when she was the proprietor of a "House of Illusions In Paris. The wife
learned of the connection when reading of the exhumation in the parers, and considers that she has grounds for divorce.

fur-trappers make high demands upon their receiving sets. In the first place the apparatus must be of solid construction, so that they will not be easily damag- ed. The sets must be battery fed, as in North Canada there la no electricity supply.
Moreover, it is also essential that short-wave reception is possible. whilst for distant stations must be received on the long wave.
