THE NEW PRENCH REMEDY,
[* Mr. Lex. in reply, said that the law of the State in dealing with children in marital disputes considered primarily neither the claims of the father nor the mother, but what was best for the weland China Telegraph Company's office at Fare of the children. In the case that was quoted the Fulge had an absolute discretionary power to say which parent should have control of the child, and the Judge on the evidence befern, lúm decided that it was hest for the child that it shunk given into the custody of the father, it was wrong to assert that there was no appeal from that decisioa." There was an appeal to the Full Court, and then from that to the High Court of Australia Farther, it with not the prae- tice in English speaking countries to bring in legislation specially for the purposo of upsetting a devision of Judge, as was now requested. when lie was asked to make the legislation retrospective to deal with this particular Gise. There was a law in British Columbia (Carada) giving the mother equal right with the father to the custody of th, children, but that law did not carry them much. further than the law of New South Wales. as it merely put on the Statute Book a principle that was already adopted in practice by the Judges of New South Wales. However, if there was a general request to have that embodied in the law of New South Wales he did not see ary objection to doing so, but there would have to be uther grounds besitles that of the ionrality of the ninther taken into consideration.

Still, Professor Burks was not satisfied. He declined to let his discovery he known until he had"nished the job." He was repeatedly warned that he was making zoo great a surrifice of his health, but he refused to listen, and on the morrow of his success was stricken with an illness which resulted in his death.
Professor Buris is stated to have made a recent discovery in effecting a further big reduction of the sulphur content. Is was practically on his death-bed that he disclosed the whole secret of the process..
