This is located on Melvilie sland, at the head of the Northwest Arm at Halifax. It was built to be used in conjunction - with Canada's Brat military ation, though con. structed 'some time after the estab- lshinent of the garrison troops at Halilax. It was built in 1808 and for over a century lias served as a jail for miscreant soldiers. The island upon which it is situat ed takes its name after th.t Scottish statesman who was the second Pift's Secretary of the Navy in the stirring times following the French revola- tion. One of the stories which was for- merly connected with Melville Island was that the prison officials kept a shark swimming about the watérs of the island and regularly fed it. This, when circulated among the prisoners; wes thought to prevent them from trying to escape. However effective it may have heen. it may be said to the credit of the Melville Island Pris- on mknagement past and present that only one nian was ever able to sue- cessfully escape capture. Forbid ling though its name and appearance, Melville Island is net without ite tinge of romance, On the farther shore of the Northwest Arf, back of a little cove, is a mound or natural hill upon which is a lonely grave marked by a wooden cross and inseription. Over it the Union Jack alvays fonts, The secret of the slumberer is, so fur as the world knows, buried with bis dust, secure in the lonely grave, but legend. ever ready to step forth and embellish a story, relates a ro- mantic tale connecled with the man whose mouldering remains rest on the island. The inmate of the lonely tomb was a young soldier who died {by his own hand, the victim of the cruel father of his sweetheart, who was colonel of the regiment to which the young man belonged in the gar- rison. : Nixon, so the story goes, was an { orderly, of good fsmily, although in the ranks. He was of a handsome physique, and while living at the Colonel's quarters his duties threw him much in the company of the beautiful daughter of his commander. She was a girl of eighteen and they loved in secret for a long time. When the fathet heard of it, he sent the young man back to the duties of : privet soldier. He had been there ! a short time when the charge of theit from a comrade was trumped up ainst him and he was confined in telville Island prison, where he pined for a time, but finally esca and awam across the Arm, hiding in a cove nearby for a long time, being supplied with food in the meantime by residents of the locality, whose com- Jatston had been excited by the stor- ¢8 of his suffering within the. prison walls. Finally, however, dreading capture and giving up hope of ever seein his sweetheart again, he commit! suicide and was interred upon that lonely hillock near the lapping of the waters and beneath the pine trees' shade.

This i= by no 1eans the rade in many parts of Alberta, where it is possible to get coal for the mere pick. ing and carting of it. The value of this is brought still more foreibly before us on rocount of the dire troiible the coal strike is causing in Great Britain, In many parte of our country coal is always dear. owing to the long distances it has to be brought by rei, but at the two encs of the Do- minion it existe in enormous de- posite. The mines of t.¢ Cape Breton shore. in fact, streteh their tunnels ©. uader the A*lantie, and pay such high wages that the young Gaelic. speaking Highlanders of that region rt their paternal I'>m to make money underground. At the other end of Canada, on the Pacific coast, the Indians seventy. five years » were vastly amused to find a blacksmith of the Hudson Bay Co., on Vancouver Island, burning a "black stone" which had been brought a six months' journev from England round Cape Horn. They de- lighted the blacksmith by telling him that there was any amount of the same "stone" on 'abt very island. For many years now Vancouver Te. land has supplied not only British Columbia, but California and othes regions furiier south, ah A few hundred miles inland in the Rocky Mountains. dividing British Columbia from Alberta. there is an- other huge deposit which supplies a high quality of coal to the Canadian Pacific Railway and to thousands of fivate consumers all ov.. the Prairie rovinces. Western Canada has just had a big coal strike. The mountain miners "went ont," and could not be per suacad to go in again. They were quite independent; farm labor is al. vays scarce and highly paid in the Prairic Provinces | the miners turned farm laborers as easily as the farmers c! Cape Breton had. turned miners, : Unfortunately. the prairie folk, though glad of this extra help. found that it involved a serious loss as well as gain. The price of coal doubled The steam engines which do a large part of the plowing had to pay $10 a ton instead of $56; and #5 much of the railway ro.ing stotk had to be nsed in htinging up coal from the United States that there were enough to carry the farmers' to market. There' is one very large western region, however, here coal is so bi wheat easily got that a strike at the regular ' mines cannot cut off the supply. Over a vast area of Alberta the fertile soll is simply a skin covering a body of coal. Danl Kane, the artist who crossed the praitie by enboe sixty years ago, and wrote a book ig which he tells of "bed: of hard * which he saw protruding alon bank of Sas. katchewan River, near Edmonton, about 20 feet below the upper surface. It could not be used, he says, except in the blackemith's forge, owing to "the want of proper grates or furnaces in those distant Yegions, where iron is at present so scarce." When the settlers began to atrive. ia quite recent years, they were as tonished to find this fuel lying ready to hand. A stu 'y olu Englishman with an Alberta farm, about forty miles east of Edmonton, on the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, said: "When we dug our well we threw out two wagon loads of coal. We didn't want it, because our stoves wers made to burn logs, and there was plenty of i wood all round us." Sometimes the conl comes right up to the surface "One time." the old man said, "we made a little camp fire at night, and were surprised to find it still burning in_the morning. We had lighted it on a bed of coal." > Much of this Alberta coal is only | lignite. and the poorer sort: soon Jose theirs.combustible quality when posed to the air; Lut the better sorts of lignite keep quite long enough to make them commercially valuable, and great '"fields" are being opened 5: in various directions, especially wes! of the railway which lies north and i south between Edmonton and Calgary. Of course, the coal of the mountain mines is far superior to this lignite "of the plains. - All They Needed. An ineident that occurred to the R.N.W.
