In a.ddition to all the-not ortlinai·y but-ex· traordinary diacon1(ur~8 a.tt.ending this class of work there are the dangers to life, inseparable (Ton1 the great extent of the work undertaken; tht: rapidity with ·which it was begun and pushed forward ; extensive fires iu the forest; drowning~ while endeavoring to Jnake the paaeage of some lake or river in a frail canoe or on a raft ; to say not11ing of starvation, whicb 1 notwithstanding the utmost -cal'e and fore· tbt>ught, Jt.1.ight, na.y in son1e Uuitimccs did very nearly, occur, in consequence of ucidents, like the two last nruned, befalling some of the Col!l· miBSariat depa1'tmm1t . . But this smvcy work i1nplies inore than hai·dships nnd ha,,m.rds. Already it has conncctctl 1vith its history a mournful death-roll. At the outset, some tribes of Indians were expec.,ted to give trouble. On the contrary, they have for the most })art been friendly n.nd help· ful. ,~lhen nearly a thousand men were engaged directly or indirectly on the work, and sca.ttered over pathless region.c.i over n. whole continent, it ·would not have been '\'ondcrful :had supplies failed to rcac]1 some p artiea, and death by starvation occurred. In no case has such a disn.ster yet 11appened. But tb C )'O are forces that can neHher be orvanized no1· bribe(L Fourteen men havtJ been dcati·oyed by the elements; seven by firci and seven by wat(lr ; de· t1troycd so completely tlu~t no tr<'l.CO has been found of the bodies of ten.

In the spdng of 1872, a party that l1ad finished its work well 1 after an arduou~ \Vinter campaig1i fat up the Otta-...va beyond Lake Ten1~ iscamang, prep::wed to i·eturn horne, The gen· tlomm-i in cha.rge and one of hit~ a~sista.nts sepa· rated I1·01n the rest, to take on board their canoe two others ·who had been pteviously left at a. side.post prostrated with scurvy. Tl1e four were known to hri.ve th1.:n st::i.rted down the river. That was the la.st seen of them, though the upturned canoe Wu.ti found, and it told ita owll talc of an upset by xock or rs.pid or awk~ 'var<l 1novement of the sick nien into ice·colcl lake or river. In the autumn of 1872, three others, on tlltlir \vay to begin their winter's \\'Ork, \Vere ship· 'vreoked and drowneU in the GcorgL'\ll :Bay.

There are three kinds of white paint.s; 1vhite leadi oxide of zinc and !/,inc lead. '\1'1Jite lcn.d is the ttiost costly, and although very generally used, and until the introduction of zinc load, con1;1iduI"Od the best, i:, really a very poo-r stuff, a.s well as very dangerous as a. poison. It chalks from action of the atmosphere, and "Ory rapidly turns yello,v. Oxide of zinc is very seldom used for out door work, as it is unfit for such use, because it cracks and ptlels off. !JI Zinc lead i~ an original pigment contu.ining zinc and lead oxides. It does not chalk or turn yellow like · -...vhite lead, nor era.ck or peel of like common zinc. It l.nis as n1uch body :i.nd tnore covering power tha.n the best '\'hite lead. At the san1e time it is one third cheaper in price. It is not pois¥inus to use, and when mixed in oil it docs :not sett1c, which fnct is a great convenience to fa.rmers. HencC', for tJ1ese reasons, we recommet\d it in preference: to any othr.r pa.int. All ~ther paints can now b1· boaght ground in oil. 'To n1ake a buff, take 100 pounds of zinc lead and tlll'ce gallons boiled oil, and t\vo ga.Uon~ spirits of turpentine. 1\fi.'{ thorougb1y, t11en ndd yello\V stone acre ground in oil until the desired !:!.ha<le is rea.ched.

A very rnuch admired tint is mady by using a little black \Vith the ochre. For a drab, use a lamp Ot' drop hla.ck iustea.d of yellow ochre. Pretty tints may be 1nade by using umber or metallic brown painte. It takes less color to tint zinc lead th<in white lead, and it holds the tint better. 'l'lie 'best ochre comes from France; it gives a tint that does no~ fade, but sha.<le~ fron1 chron10 yel· low 'villfadc. Tints ma<le from metallic paints <tf! Prince 1s. do uot fade, Umber nw.kes o. pretty tint, but it is apt to fade in the sun. For copings, use one of the bro\vn metallic paintS. 'l'he interior of houses may be J)a.inted a pure white or.a tiut. In pa.inting inside, to make n. fl-et zinc color, use all s1,irits of turpentine. In fact many use 1noro of it on outside 'vork UO\V, ei:1pecially 'vben they wish to makC:l a flat color without gloss. Oil a.lone, espocially with .zinc lead, gives a rich l:!atin glosa, 'l'hi", for the inside of houses, adds llluch to the appearance of the paint.. To paints wliich do not hrwe this gloss 11roperly in themselves, it is imparted by lni:dng a little varnish. Doors arc usually painted onk or walnut color; This mniy he bought already mixed for use (co.lled training colors) more convenient to the fa1'lllcr tba.n to get the tinge himself. u ·mber is generally nsed. :E'or fences and tho lower class of fru·m buildings, the idea of the fa1·mer is generally to get something cheap. V{e hu,ve always seen that the best is in the eud the chea.pest. 'l'he abject of paiutiug is tn keep out n1oisture, and thua prevent wood from decay. Hence, a paint which does this ]}ldrfectly is the best, even if it col!ts t\vice as much.
