i • . United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. Londow, June 17 In the House of Commons a question wan asked aa to the recent incursions of a French force on British territory nearLak* Tchad. Mr Chamberlain replied that, as Great Britain did not m a military uenee ocoupy the British sphere of influence when it wm invaded by the French pursuers of Fade! Allah, the son of the Sultan of Jftabah, it was not necessary to make representation* on the subject to a friendly Government.

An Unknown Sheep

Traveller's Capture m the Arctic Regions,

Mr Talbot Cliftoa, traveller, explorer, and hunter, who, as already stated, has added to the world's knowledge by the discovery of an animal hitherto unknown, has just returned to London after a year's sojourn amid the ArctiG regions of Northern Siberia, Starting m March last from Siberia, Mr Clifton went first to • Irkutsk and afterwards 2000 miles further north to Yakutsk, where he met Professor Hertz, but declined his invitation to accompany him to recover the mammoth which the Professor has since taken out of the frozen ground and conveyed to Europe. " I have always made it a practice," said Mr Clifton " to travel without any white companion. The most important discovery of my journey north to the Arctic Ocean was when I reached the Chibekoo Mountains about 40 miles from the Arctic Ocean. Here I found a species of sheep hitherto un known. Very few are to be seen, and being very wild they are extremely difficult to approach. In fact, they are the wildest animals m the world. They are like big goats m appearance—a greyish white m colour with black tails. My capture was a fine ram, The wind was mmy favour, and after stalking for two hours I shot him. It; was near here that I got that rare animal a marmot, which is only to be found m North ern Siberia. During my travels I covered somn 3000 miles with Siberian ponies, 3000 miles with reindeer, and 500 miles with dogs. I shot reindeer, including one that was per fectly suow white, a wapiti and a black bear the latter being killed further north than any black bear has ever been killed before." Mr Clifton's record as a traveller includes a year among the Esquimaux at Chesterfield Inlet, Hudson Bay, and an attempt to get from the Cape to Cairo, which was stopped by an attack of black • ater fever. The rare specimens brought home on this oocasion are now with Mr Rowland Ward for preservation. The newly-discovered sheep is to be presented to the British Museum, where it will be classified as " Clifton's sheep."

Eoss Antidote Company, Dear Sirs,—l feel it my duty to give you this enclosed testimonial m favour of Eoss' Antidote for purifying the blood. I have been a great sufferer for many years from ulcerated stomach, mdige&tion, etc. My life was a perfect misery, and I was almost a wreck. I grew tired of trying different | medical men and remedies, of which I had i tried almost every known one but yours [ and one day some eighteen months ago a gentleman came into the shop where I waß j employed. He remarked " Jack, you look I very ill," and you may depend I was. He | added, Will you take some medicine if I procure it; I replied, I will take anything. He brought me a bottle of your Antidote, i and I took it accordingly as directed, and [t6 my delight I began to get well, and after taking three large bottles I was a new man, thanks to your great discovery. T always keep it by me, and find a few doses occasionally keep me m perfect health, and I wish you the success with it that such a medicine merits. You can make what use you like of this. —I remain, yours, etc., J. H. Patjmto, Masterton. May be obtained from Messes Fletcher Bbob., and Shearman Bros., Ashburton. Smoke New Venwa '

I '^itiiiiEi Kt>TtcK _______ CANCER CURED. BRIEF PARTICULARS. OF A REMARKABLE CASE IN THE WELLINGTON DIS TRICT. Fullest Information Sent on Application, Mr W. H. MEXTED, a well-known Con tractor, resident m Nelson street, Petone, has been ill for OVER TWO YEARS, with I CANCER IN THE BOWELS. First six months had constant craTing for meat, had to have meat at meals at least twice a day. He says:—"Treated by two local doctors, at end of six months the doctors decided to put me under chloroform for examinntion and operation. Placed on milk diet for three days previous, and wasted to a shadow. After examination it was decided to send me to the Wellington Hospital for operation. A hard lump or ridge had been growing for some time at the upper part of; the abdomen, and blood and pieces of flesh! resembling the lung of a sheep was passing from me daily. 1 was m the Wellington Hospital two months. Was operated on, and under examination the doctors told Mrs Mexted that the trouble was cancer m the bo wels, and was practically incurable. Was taken from the hospital m that condition, being taken to my home on the ambulance stretcher, and m such a weak state they did not think I would reach home alive. Was carried to my bed, and for weeks lay be tween life and death. The local doctors were m regular attendance, and concurred with those of the hospital as to the nature of my complaint, and stated they could do nothing for me. As time went on the doctors ceased calling, telling my wife that my oase was hopeless and. they could do no more. I was worn away to'a skeleton, and daily passing the matter above referred to. My wife then tried various remedies and patent medicines, but there was not the slightest improvement, until, on the advice of friends, 1 started taking PL ANTE ICO A, and it was not for some time that even this Beemed to make any impression, and I was almost giving it up m despair. However, while using the fifth bottle, the discharge gradually ceased, and I began to feel stronger, the hard swelling had almost disappeared, and I was able to get up and about for a little. To the joy of my family and friends the improvement continued, until at the present time I FEEL SPLEN DID. Have been away during Easter to Danevirke and Palmerston North for a trip, and have NOW RESUMED WORK, I consider that PLANTEKOA has COM PLETELY CURED ME. I shall be pleased to answer enquiries by letter or otherwise.—Yours, gratefully, W. H. MEXTED. I can certify that I visited Mr Mexted m the Wellington Hospital, and.l never ex pected to see him come out alive, and his present condition astonishes me. Signed, W. Shilling, Pilot, Wellington Harbour Board. This is to certify that I conveyed Mr Mexted to the hospital m the ambulance, and two months later brought him home again, and assisted to carry | him from the ambulance to his bed. Jas.
