Sal mon, especially in canned form, is particularly * popuiar, and those who are interested in natural history will find some of the features of the life history of the Pacific salmons quite unique, The following data on the habits of the salmon was secured by a re porter from Mr, F. D, Mathers, east ern representative of the Clover Leaf Salmon Packers, and an authority on salinon. "Contrary to the habits of the At lantie salmon, all of the Pacific sal omns die after spawning," Mr. Ma thers explained, "The life cyele of the Pacific salmon is from two to seven or eight years, depending upon its species and other condition "The age of a salmon is easily de terminable by study of the cogeentric rings on each scale, Under a low power microscope it can be seen that rings are formed on each scale, very simtlag In appearance to those that are observed on a cross-section of u tree. In the case of the fish, several rings are formed cach year. During the summer the rings are more wide ly spaced than is the case in the win ter, when the rings are grouped more closely, due to the slower growth of the fish, From the outer edge of one group of winter rings to the outer edge of the next group of rings represents a year in the of the fish, "We have checked and determined both the age and migration routes of salmon by means of marking the fish and noting the time and place of their recapture.

OMelals of the Manitoba gov- ernment, masters of the townsite, are sookng to surmount problems which threaten to delay the town opening until August, a time 80 late it may bo deemed to better walt until next season. Clamoring hundreds ask permis sion to "get in on the ground floor" this summer at the rock-girt ters minal of the Dominion governs ment's Hudson Bay railway, Buel ness men, adventurers, pioneers who tend firresieitibly toward the north--these are the folk who are cager to be. residents at Churcnin when the Britain-bound freighters first steam wheat-laden across the Bay.

Entry into Churehill nus heen allowed only on special pers mit, and workers engaged in track. laying, harbor building and eleva. tor construction have been under strict surveillance of their employ« ars. Beyond the establishment of a trlo of banks and the operation of a canvas-walled movie show blown down by the Bay gales, commerce has made virtually no appearance at the west's northern harbor, Food is served at the camp mons, sleeps ing quarters are provided and work is there to be done; only bare ne- cousitios may be obtained by pure chase, so that most workmen finish a peason at Churchill with a real nko, Promuep of export shipping wu.

Wain- wright was one of the faithful threes black men who attended David Livingstone (1813-1873), famous Scottish missionary and explorer in Africa, and was with Livingstone in his lagt hours in Chitambo's vn lage. It was Wainwright's hand that inscribed Livingstone's name on the tree under which tho mis slonary's heart was buried. Wainwright and five companions had carried their master's body disguised as a bale of cotton through jungle and over mountain who accompanied the coffin to Eng land, With Stanley, Bir John Kirk, and others, he was one of the pall-bearers at Westminster Abbey when the great missionary's re- mains were laid under the nave there in 1874, Wainwright died in 1888 at Ure ambo, in what is now Tanganyika Territory, and was buried on land belonging to the Lohdon Mission ary Boclety., But the jungle is en. croaching, and thbse who are still living who can recall the spot are passing away, It was felt by some of the missionaries of the Mora- vian Church that the resting-place of this faithful African should be marked in some way. and the idea was taken up by the congregation in the North Carolina town of Win- ston Salem. Thelr pastors design. ed the tablet, and two members cast and prepared it. The tablet was sent to England #0 that Dr. A: J. Keevil, British Moravian medical missionary who was returning to Africa in au few weeks, might take it with him, Dr. Keevil hopes within a few months to be present at the unvelling of the tablet after it -hus been set in a concrete plinth over the grave of the faithful and gallant black ser vant of Livingstone.
