in ballot strait on labor liar september th 1097 by the orhcerlncharge of the eastern arctic patrol and in due course was brought to ottawa ilea luring about six inches in diameter and three and a half feet in length this interesting butt of a small tree was sent to the surest laboratories of the de partment of mines and resources where it waa identified as black spruce a count of the annual rings indicates that the tree was over one hundred yeara old before it was- uprooted but it is not the age or alas of this satingrey place of driftwood that la of interest the fnct that it made the northwest passage is what stirs the imagination from some forest on the banks of the greot mackenzie river or one of its tributaries this little spruce tree found its way to the arctic ocean and travel led around the nortli side of banks island and victoria island vlamcclure strait mccllntock channel and frank lin strait to dellot strait which divides somerset island from boothia penin sula

strait to where trees of this slxe grow is far dway indeed bcllat strait by this route is 10q miles from the mackenzie delta and this tree must hnvo started its travels from the mac kenzie river or one of its tributaries possibly another 3000 miles from the mackenzie mouth derived from any other source it could not have been round in bcllot strait as adverse cur rents render any other route

ice creepers for which we have our young son to thank not thaj he has any use for them himself dear me no he would sooner slide his way over the ice but he realized that part ner and i are not quite so happy on slippy ground hence the creepers they are really line just a little spiked gadget fastened on a piece of halfinch elastic which slips over the instep much as a watch slips over the wrist and thus equipped one can almost go dancing on ice i thoroughly recommend them to anyone who has a rooted dislike to broken arms and sprained ankles the price is almost negligible and they can be purchased from your hardware dealer if he is an enterprising man partner also finds creepers invaluable especially when carrying water from the trough to the barn with a pall in either hand he finds his chances for making the trip without taking an ley bath are better if he wears creepers than if he doesnt the cows hate walking on ice almost as much as we do after watching them step gingerly

and the satis faction it has given in its many fields of use the industry was established in canada during 1034 following the dis covery by the federal department of mines of large deposits of limestone ih the niagara peninsula ontario hltasle for the manufacture of rocjf wtiol nv of the most effectual insulaclng produrta on the market flve plants with a trtal capacity of fifty torn duly

a cubic foot and consists of interlaced exceedingly floe flexible glassy flbi as it is bulky transportation costs are rculivelynigh and centralization of the industry is not commercial feasible the woolla made by melting a suitable rock or mixture of rocks and then converting the melten rock- into fibres cither by a blast of steam or air or by a mechanical device tlie use of rock wool has expanded rapidly in recent yeara owing to its excellent qualities as a sound and heat insulator it is both are- proof and ver- m inproof and to its relatively low cost most of the output us used tor dwelling- house insulation for which rock wool is available in bulk or loose form in batta and tn the form of pellets that can be poured or blown into spaces in the walls of houses already erected rock wool is also used for industrial insulation for the soundproofing of buildings and for the accousticai treatment of offices theatres audltorla and radio stations be a good idea but suggested that 1 go down to the barn and put the creepers on for him it was just about that lime i thought it wise to change the subject and talk about the weather after all the weather has o 1e discussed rme- lune
