Foto Gleaned JFrom 'Some of Thess Historic Documents "Toronto Called Tojajagon--Hamitl- ~ ton Was | Not Marked--THe Develop thent of Some Present Names That Ars Household Words Among Us. The Bureau of Archives, while com Paratively a ntw department in con Rection with the Ontario Government, } - Bas alrcady become a benefit to the €omat1 unity. THe work is extensive, and of course years will pass before a great deal! of progress can be made. It is the Intention, and the Department de- DE the co-operation of everyone, to doliect matter and information of all ores that may throw light upon the tory and development of our Pro 'vince. Valuable material is destroyed every day in the form of old newspa- pers, letters, pamphlets, magazines, re- "ports of societies, ete, which, if col fected, would be found to contain data concerning some of the happenings either of the present or of bygone €imes, In business, sooclal, church, or litical events. Anything of this sort t can be collected by Archivist r will be indexed in due time, and Maps. Fi ig the more valuable of 'recent discoveries of the Bureau are several Ja maps aiid copies of maps Which Ye come into Mr. Fraser's possession lately. Three of these, one an original and two photographs, are the work of Nicholas Sanson, the great French geo grapher. Sanson was born In Abbeville, France, in 1600, and died in 1667. An early work in ancient Gaul brought him before the notice of Cardinal Rich- elieu, and he became engineer and geo grapher to Louis XIIL Sanson never visited America, but he drew his maps from charts and drawings of many dis- tinguished explorers of that time The oldest map In Mr. Fraser's pos- session is Sanson"s map published in 1650. From the names given of places, and also from the form and positions, one would hardiy recognize North Am- erica, comparing it with a modern work. Ontario and the Great Lakes were first shown in this, earlier maps of Champlain and Bolsseau not touch- ing west of Montreal. Rivers corres ponding in position to the Humber, Maitland, Grand, and Kettle Creek, are shown in Ontario. In this map Lake Ontario is designated "Lac de St Louis," and Michigan, which was only known at the north, was called "Lac de Puans," which means "Lake of Smells." This map appears to be bas- ed on a presupposition of an actual ac- quaintance with the outlines of the Iakes. Nicolet and Jagues probably gave Information towards the draw log of it, Early Names In Ontario. Sanson's map of 1656, while less ac- éurate in the shape and relative size of Lake Erle, is fuller in details. The name "Lac lui on du Chat" is given here. Lake Huron appears as "Kang nond{," and St. Clair as "Lae des Eaux de Mer," meaning "Sea Water Lake" Several addiiional streams are also shown. The Thames makes its first appearance without a name. The Ot tawa no longer is shown as "Riviere files Prairies," and Lake Simcoe ed "Ouentarou." This lake appears as *"L. Tarantou" in maps of other explor is call ers. The Muskoka lakes are shown, and | L. St. Francis is named "Narvu" A village east of Niagara Falls is called "Ongara," and from this same, 'and the early name of Lake Simcoe, we may gee how some of the modern names of places are adapted These two maps show a superior knowledge over others by contempor ary geographers The third map is an original copy, published in 1698, apparently after San son's death. This one, which is built upon the two previous works, as well &s upon the drawings of Spanish, Por guguese, and English geographers, is very complete, and much advanced as go position and location. One great difference in this map from any others Is that Lake Taran- tou (now Simcoe) 1s placed north of the Ottawa. James Bay is known on one side as "James his Bay," and on ne other as "La Grande Bale de De- erance." Names of Villages. Many posts and villages are marked @lso. A place very near where St "Thomas Is was called "St. Alexis," and other points are named either after a saint vor the tribe of Indians living there. Of these the Neutre and Pi- tous lived In the north part of the Pro- vince on the shores of "Lac St. Jo- sph," as the Georgian Bay was called then. Manitoulin Island was known here as "Cheuex Releurs." This large map goes into detail In Other parts of the continent much more than in Ontario. Among the many maps of other early French navigators copies of which are in Mr. Fraser's possession, there 18 a great deal of contradiction as to names. N. Bellier's map of 1744 shows a place, here Toronto now stands, called 'Tejajagon," and "Fond du Lac" Where Hamilton nestles at present. 'The Maitland River is given two dif- ferent names, one at the lower end and one near the source, These are "Menacetung" and "Mensetung," both Indian appellations. D'Anville, in a map of 1746, calls Kingston "Cataraqua," and later "Fort Frontenac." Lake Simcoe is also nam- €d Oeutarou here. All of the above maps are Interest- the from the ect that they show the of the Freneh id Te di step by step, ac- Ing to the different dates.

That the great majority of persons use the right hand with greater skill than the left is doubtless due to two influences -- an innate proclivity and constant practice, The preference shown by most fufamnts at the age of one year for the use of the right hand | proves that there is an inherited tend- | ency. Further evidence of it Is found in the greater ease with which any en- tirely new act is performed by the right than by the left hand. Training, how- yever, is an important factor. A mature | person, having lost the right hand by accident, can achieve wonders with the other if he only exercises patience, ' perseyerance and a strong will. | The more mysterious of the two face tors in this problem {8 the inborn tend- | ency.

The writer 6f a most Interesting arti- clp on the building of Dover Harbor, in the Pall Mall Magazine, describes his experiences in a diving bell. "Putting on a pair of stockings, leg: gings, and heavy boots," he says, "I jumped on to the seat when the huge ell--it weighed %0 tons and was as large as a goodvized room--was swung up by the powerful crane over the staging, and gradually we were lower: | ed into the sea. The sensation Yo first was very strange. As we tercd the water, which was driven -- of the bell by compressed air, there was a distinct buzzing sound in the ears and head. I was told to hold my | nose and blow through it, and, needless to say, 1 did so. Slowly we descend- ed, and at last reached the bottom, some 80 feet below the surface. "The bell in question was seventeen feet long and ten feet wide. There were glx of us in it. It was lighted by electricity, and was almost as bright as day. We first landed on "a od In human nature that it must have been partially developed In the savage ancestors of the race. Primitive man, | in his opinion, must have felt a definite | need for the exercise of his right hand | in preference to his left, and that ne- cessity must have been recognized and obeyed for a long period continuously. | The impulse could not well have dic- | | tated his habits in eating, for knives | and forks are of recent origin, the { 'modern gun had not been invented, | and writing was practically unknown. Moreover; in such operations as chip- ping arrowheads, weaving baskets and wielding clubs, bows and agyrows It could not have mattered much which band was employed. When warfare had been carried to such a stage of advancement as to in- volve the use of a shield, however, that object was probably beld on the left gide in order to protect the heart. Then as a matter of convenience the right arm was left free for the more active function of fighting with spear and sword, and with habitual exercise came special skill, Au attendant phe- pomenon was a finer organization of that particular center in the brain which controlled these movements and which was situated In the left half of the organ. 'The brain is the real seat of all dexterity, and something takes place there In correspondence with ex- ternal efficiency. With an Increased use of the right hand, Dr. Gould thinks, there must have been greater demands upon the right eye, becanse vision must precede the order to strike or to give peaceful signals. In this way there may bave been developed a keener power of vision in the right eye than In the left. Dr. Gould assumes that there was and declares that "right handed people are right eyed" and that in their bralus the center of vision is on the left side, in close proximity to that gov erning the right arm While eivilization was yet at 8 low level communication was carried on, especially with strangers, largely in the sign language. Barter laid the foundations of arithmetic and called in- to play the digits. The preference al ready given to the right hand in battle may have guided men in the choice for this service and also in official and so- cial ceremonies. Computation, Dr. Gould points out, was an intellectual process which was conducted in the speech center of the brain. Nature was compelled to take sides in locating the latter, and she placed it to the left of the middle, Dr. Gould thinks that the choice was governed by the employ ment of the right hand for giving sig nals. So intimately related are the functions of speeeh and vision and the control of the muscular efforts with the right arm that action would be quicker if the cerebral centers control ling them were closely associated Before discussing the cause of left handedness Dr. Gould calls attention to the fact that with right handed people the left hand is occasionally called up- on to perform a task of greater impor- tance than its mate. In eating the fork is used more than the kne, In playing a violin or violoncello the fin- gering is done with the left band and the bowing with the right. It Is sug- gested that some of these operations may result from the superiority of the right eye. Perhaps the latter can watch and guide them better when they are performed with the left than with the right hand. Left handedness is consldered by Dr. Gould an inheritance from ancestors, savage or civilized, who were obliged by some misfortune to abandon the use of the right band. An even more influ- ential injury, he thinks, would have been as to the right eye. With the cul- tivation of skill with the left hand, he believes, there followed a change In the organization of the brain. Owing to disease the center, which had for- merly controlled action, lost its vigor and that on the epposite side acquired increased power. Dr. Gould says that the speech center was also transferred spring be finds the to, the manifes- age. Experience is a jewel, and it need be #0, for it is often purchased at an infl- nate rate.

This was quickly driven out by the compressed alr, when we walked on comparatively | dry ground with the sea all around us. The man In charge is able to move his bell where he wishes by sending sig- nals up to the man in great crane to which attached "After Inspecting the smooth bed on the bell 1s which the bottom blocks are laid, we went out to sea, and, landing on the bottom again, obtained some idea of the difficulties of digging a foundation on the floor of the ocean.
