For

most
of
the
island
had
been
in
the
control
of
rebels
who
are
demanding

The
revolt
developed
after
weeks
of

against
a
British
order
imposing
tariffs
which
the
Cyprian
legislative
council
had
rejected.
Seven

arrived
at

It

shaken
their

at
one-third
the
total

of
the
fabulously
rich

It
has
closed

them
full
sway
over
the

as

their

the

But

The

to
keep
the

full
of
the
faithful,
seeking
consolation.
This

the

have
been
fuller

for
some

and
it
Is
undoubtedly
the
unrest

Irked

that
has
prevented
Kemallst

from
upsetting

further
with
such
radical

the
Introduction

and
abolition
of

which
were

Preserved
from
the
pre-glaclal
age
before
even
the
monstrous
dinosaur
roamed
this
continent,
two
lizards
embedded
in
a
seam
of
anthracite
coal
at
Hudson's
Hope,
south
of
Rocky
Mountain
Canyon,
B.C.,
were
discovered
by
miners
recently
and
are
now
the
centre
of
scientific
surprise,
for
they
were
found
alive.
.
Relayed
from
residents
of
the
Peace
River

the
account
of
the
drscovery
reached

Miners
in
the
Hudson's
Hopa
,
district
turned
their
pleks
Into
4
seam
of
coal
that
must
have
been
formed
countless
centuries
ago
from
the
luxuriant
vegetation
of
the
Northwest
before
the
ice
cap
formed.

Coal
They
came
on
the
lizards
In
a
lock
of
coal.
Twelve
Inches
in
length
the
creatures
looked
strangely
out
of
place
In
that
setting.
Miners
were
still
more
puz
zled
when
the
creatures
stirred
and
gave
other
evidences
of
life.

It
Is

Immediately,

the
other,
clinging
tenaciously
to
