By the death at the age of eighty-eight of Miss Eleanor Mary Gant, of the Moyils House, Slooplo Bumpstoad, Essex, it continuous holding of over 900 years has been brought to a close. A document still in existence shows that the house and estate were in possession of MissGaul's ancestors before the Conquest, and a portion of the present building dales back, to the time of Edward 111. A verdict that death was due to anthrax was returned at an inquest at Bradford, Yorkshire, on a young married woman who had been employed as a wool comber. Altogether there are about three million acres of woodlands in the British Isles, and over twenty-eight million acres of uncultivated lands. It has- been estimated by Dr. Schlish that of this waste land four million acres in Great. Britain and two million acres in Ireland can lx> made available for plantations, and this additional six mil/ion acres would yield nine million loads of wood annually, so that by planting these waste lands 'most of the 0:20,000,000 now spent annually for our imported wood supply would be saved.
