There are varied methods employed | those who appreciate the wilderness. But have you ever ascended a wilder- | ness river by "pirogue?" The rivers of Northern New Bruns- | wick, penetrating through the inter- | {ior of the "Forest Province" in. a seemingly endless watery maze, a veritable network of pijvary threads, afford the most delightiul opportuni- to | ties for canoeing trips, but to ascend | ! the rivers to their very head waters, | carrying a load of camp duffle and | outfits, such as is required on a moose { hunting expedition la strain for the ordinary birch-bark, the "Cheemaun" of the Indian of the North, or the cedar ones, the latter invention of the pale face. On these | New Brunswick streams there are all kinds of craft, but none are so well | | adapted as the "pirogue," or Mira- | michi "dug-out," is for navigating the | boulder-strewn and rock-splintered {shallows of the interior streams. The English translation of pirogue --dug out--is not at all a romantic name, nevertheless this craft is not a lifeless log, being often, on the con- trary, hewn into a thing of beauty. If not cut out of a single pine, two | prachs are felled and, with axe and hisel, whittled into form, with a keel- son' seam running the entire length, nailed across with wooden straps and | caulked. The bow is spooned up from the water line and painted; the stern | | gimilarly treated, only that the full | eurve is generally left. Thus is formed ia boat, staunch and durable, yet | which can be easily paddled in deep water or poled in swift currents and | through treacherous rapids, while over rocky ledges and sand-bars'it can be hauled by horses or by hand; a strange combination of transporta- tion, truly, but an effective method for surmounting those barriers so often found placed by nature in the | paths of the wilderness. Leaving Newcastle by team, accom- panied by guides, camp help and a teamster, the journey by route ended on the second day out when, leaving the wagons, supplies and equipment were loaded into one | of these pirogues. The river at this int runs swiftly in many shallows, hut the horses were hitched on, driv- | en into the icy water and away we | { went, bumping, sliding and scraping | 4 along, splashed every moment with {flying water from the horses' feet, | when plunging over some particularly {shallow or rocky spot. The fish furnished some little ex- citement: the sight of several that must have run close on four feet in length conjuring wistful desires for our salmon rods lying at home. But the open season for salmon was over and it would have been no use any- way, as they were too busily engaged | in spawning. As a matter of fact, sal- | mon do not eat at all after they leave the sea on their inland journey; their eagerness to rise to the fly in the sum: mer season is attributed to playful- , ness and curiosity on their part. Almost a full day of pirogue, with | its swinging motion, the landing was made at the eddy near the camp. A | picturesque valley below, illuminated in lurid tints by the setting sun, was there to be admired, but I am afraid | and hungry to | we were too weary grasp the details of that beautiful scene; it was supper, unpack and a pipe, then dream time, only all were too tired to dream much that night. With the details of the hunting I will not weary my readers, sufficient to remark, that in the country we were literally teeming with moose and deer; sport was found to satisfy the most demanding. Although essestially 1 caribou country, we saw several fine | bull moose. One we closed upon, just round a bend of the stream, where he was feeding on the bulbous roots | of the lily pads. It was too good a chance to miss for the camera, so the rifle did not eome into play. Another day a herd of - caribou s were sighted and ® perfect specimen with an immense spread of antlers was killed by one of the party; then, too, a black bear was encountered and his pelt numbered among the trophies of that trip. Altogether the trip was most en- joyable and successful from every standpoint. We. roughed it, struck a number of cold frosty mornings, port aged and tramped many weary miles | through dense - undergrowth and we discovered we were living. How strange human nature is; what pe- culiar vagaries the human being pos- sesscs. A party of business men, of wealthy men, of professional men, go oat into the Northland on a hunting trip; witpess the remarkable trans- formation that ensues. Men who never | | do a stroke of manual labor and who | are not accustomed to rise from their | downy couches ere nine o'clock in { the morning, and then in an atmos- | phere of warmth and éomfort, now 'tumble out of their sleeping-bags or from their bough beds long ere dawn, breakfast by starlight or by candle, lin the cold and frosty autumn morn- ing, break the ice covering their pails or along the edge of the stream ere performing their morning ablutions, | then paddle down lake or stream in the chilly: dawn, with the stars yet brightly glimmering o'erhead.

A num- | ber of guides of New Brunswick pos- sess these craft and many a party | have experienced such a trip as that | outlined in the foregoing and have been loud in their praise of the out | Ing. As a last word, let me say that New' Brunswick, while justly noted | for its moose territory (moose are in- | creasing yearly in spite of the ever increasing throng sportsmen en- | tering the province each autumn) also holds some of the best caribou bar- rens in America; in fact caribou are limited to Northeastern Quebec, New| Brunswick and the Great Slave Lake | country of the far north of Athabasca, | with Newfoundland to the east.

According to the opinion of scien- tists and experts northern Canada is destined to become the greatest dia- mond producing country in the world. Dr. Ami, a distinguished members of the Canadian Geological | Survey Department, states that it is| his firm conviction that a diamond | field, papbably the richest in the world, 1, after railway communica- | tion has been established, be develop- | ed in the great north land. At dif- ferent points important finds have | | been made by prospecting parties, and the fact that vari-colored natural | fa gems, white, yellow and black, Have been found scattered over a ride area, is held to indicate that | they have been earried along by gla- cial drifts from some point further | north. That t, wherever it may | be, whether in Ontario territory or| Quebec territory, it is impossible at Present to say, would be the mother | Dr Ami regards the discoveries | that have been made as of immense importance. The Tiffanys and other | great jewellery houses have sent] representatives over the regions in which the diamonds have been found, and the reports they have submitted are regarded as conclusive. Nothing can be done, however, until trans- portation facilities are developed, | and in the meantime very little is being said about what is likely to prove the world's latest diamond field, as the firms do not want to dis- | close the exact hature of the informa- tion they have obtained at consider- able cost. until they are in a position | to take advantage of it themselves. ee drier CANADA TO BE CAUTIOUS. Ministers Will Restrict Trade Nego- | * tiations With France. It is understood at Ottawa that Hon. Mr. Fielding and Canadian Ministers now in Europe will restrict | negotiations for improved trade rela- tions to France, pending the success- ful conclusion of the effort now being made to revise the existing trade treaty with that country. That treaty | was negotiated by Sir Charles Tupper eleven years ago, and is a very one- sided arrangement. One of the prin- | cipal objection urged by Canada is to the clause allowing French wines, | soaps, nuts and other commodities named in the treaty to enter Canada | at the favored-nation rate, whether | they are sent direct or via Germany, Belgium, Great Britain or any other country so long as French origin is shown. On the other hand it is pro- vided that articles from Canada to | { have the benefit of the French favor- ed-nation tariff rate must be shipped | direct from Canada to France and | cannot go in a ship which first ealls at Great Britain or a port in any oth- | er country. To this arrangement Canada has a decided objection and | will not attempt to give tariff privi- | leges to Germany, Austria, Italy or any other country until an agreement has been made to change the French treaty in this respect. The Canadian | Ministers have not plenary power in conducting these negotiations, but { will have to report to the Canadian Government and the decision of the Canadian Government will have to be given effect in a treaty made | through the British Government. | Submarine Phones. Many vessels on the great lakes are | being equipped with wireless subma- | rine telephone apparatus, by whieh | | danger signals can be received in time | of storm or fog. At all shoals and other danger I points the Government maintains lightships, or buoys equipped with big bells, which are automatically rung | during thick weather. It frequently occurs, however, that during storms and fogs these warning signals are {not heard, and as a result vessels go | ashore. By means of the submarine tele- | { phone equipment these warning bells {ean be heard through a: one re- | | ceiver placed in the ship's pilot house | several miles away. Transmitters are placed on the light ship or buoys and | the water conveys the sol waves | tothe receiver on board the vessels. | It is probable that within a short time practically all vessels' on the . | lakes will be equipped with the ap- | paratus, ! !

Favorite Vehicle of British Metropolis Severely Criticized. Did you ever see a fat man losing round as he runs to catch a train? human equivalent to the of a London omnibus. The Lon- on omnibus--or "bus," as it is com- monly termed--is not a thing to be considered lightly. There is something so solemn and awe-inspiring in its steady lack of speed that words fail the passenger who fain would hurry; and anyway his thoughts could have no legitimate expression under ex- isting laws. The fat man losing ground while running to catch a train is liable 'to an attack of heart failure. So is the London 'bus passenger who feels- that a train must be caught, or that a destination must be reached within any given time. After .one has seen a London 'bus he realizes the mechanical ideal that has inspired designers of challengers for the America's Cup. The 'bus is built on solid, substantial, British lines, resisting obstructions to the last degree--air, water and mud. For centuries the world has known and respected the resisting qualities of the British troops. When they have met their foes, have they wavered cr faltered in fighting every inch of the ground? Nevor! Something "'has got to bust" when Britons go into action sometimes the Britons themselves, but the balance of victories is on their side. The London "bus is British from ite rain swept top seats to the place where the springs ought to be, and when it meets a sea of mud, think you it fears to give hattle? Not while it hangs together! Onward plunges the gallant 'bus through torrents cf garment . wrecking substance; boune ing, bumping, lurching, shaking, palpitating, heaving, rocking from end to end and side to side--an in valuable training for an ocean voy- | age--and at the end of a few hours reaches a point somewhat nearer its destination than it was before start ing--unrecognizable but triumphant Agassiz, pre-eminent as a naturalist, alter seeing a single detached bone, could reason out the whole structure of the animal of which that bone had been a part. What Agassiz was to ani. mal life all Londoners are to vehicles. They see a fearsome mountain of mud approaching. The foreigner thinks it an evidence of a landslide, but even the small Londoner knows it to be a "bus, and the expert adult can tell by the texture of the mud what route it has passed over. If that brilliant but misguided map maker Napoleon Bonaparte had had a loyal fleet of London 'buses when he tried to cross the English Channel Admiral Nelson's name would have appeared only in the appendix to na- val history. It so happened, however, that Nelson had in his service sev- eral boatloads of men well qualified to drive 'buses, and their resolute methods of driving through obstacles won Trafalgar and made famous the | saying, "England expects every man | to do his duty." Although the all conquering spirit of the London "bus has imbued Fri ish armies for hundreds of years the symbol itself has not been used in warfare. However, the War Office and the Admiralty may yet advocate the use of squadrons and batteries «1 'buses to dislodge future enemies from exceptionally strong positions. Water- loos and Balaklavas could be won easily with "buses to do the charging. | What would a few thousands of mere men avail before vehicles that had bidden bold defiance to London streets? Port Arthur would hoist the white flag when it heard the "buses com- ing. Gibraltar, if in other hands than English, would take to its heels. -- New York Herald. Yachts For World's Kings. The launching of the King's new yacht, Alexandrin, at Glasgow, b Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll, marks another notch in Scotland's record as yacht builder to the royal- ties of the world. The Alexandra is the first of the modern British vessels of this type to be built north of the Tweed, but Scotland can claim to have given of the best her shipbuild- ers ean provide to the rulers of Italy, Spain, Portugal, Roumania, and Siam, while in England yachts have been constructed for the Czar of Russia, the Emperor of Austria, the Ki of Greece, and the Bultan of Turkey. There are altogether twenty-two of these vessels afloat, and the British isles are responsible for fifteen of them, and Beotland for eleven. In point of size, the Alexandra { so named, of course, in honor of the | Queen is by no means exceptional. It is 300 feet in length and will dis | place about 3,000 tons, which is less than half the displacement of the Ger- | man and Russian imperial yachts. In | fact, its only exceptional feature will be found in its engine rooms, for, | since it is the first ship of the class to be built since the advent of the turbine--its mmediate predecessor be- ing the Victoria and Albert, designed in 1896---it is naturally the first to be | equipped with that system of propul- sion.
