Slowly, with an excessive 'pallor, the day began outside the dew-drenched train that twined through the wild country of the foothills. That eountry stretches north and south for hundreds of miles, & broad ribband of wilderness along the easterp flank of the Rockies, where creeks gurgle and shout, day and night, through rolling hills among which it 1s one of the easiest imaginable for a man to be lost; a wild country, where cattle still graze; where coyotes howl, and the lone ~ Wolf bays} where bear delight in muititudinous berries or. ravage the honeycombs of the wild bee; where dewr- "tap dafnty-footed and shy, less often seen than the fresh prints of their cloven hoofs in the mud by the creek side; where rattlesnakes and ground owls and gophers lead their lives--whether of communalism, or of bickering, observers are not yet certain; the camp of the watching naturalists ty divided. Into this wild country we rolled from the kaleidoscopic town of Calgary, where civilization has come so giickly wpon paganism that, despite granite houses and concrete sifle walks, the air of a frontier town®still clthgs to it, and the sightseer in his motor car running into the environs WAY see a cow-man in sheepskin chaps and hear him "ki-yi- ing," or may encounter the descendants of the older in- Babitants, riding lean ponies, looking broken and dirty, or clean and wild, according as to how they have taken the sudden, smack of change. The new day coming on ths benchlands of Alberta feemed wistful, or pathetic. It was a young Canadian poet-who found the spHing so, and commented: The old, etéraal Spring again Comes back the safl, eternal way. Tt was light enough at Cochrane just to see the place as & wan arrangement of gréy tones, the grass showing on suspicion of green, more imagined than visible. Cochrane, in that early light, looked more like a mirage than a ®place." Its scattered handful of frame houses, hotels livery stables, and the rolling bush-dotted hills enfolding ft, all wet with dew, seemed like a faint-colored picture in a book seen through the tissue paper originally inserted to protect the page. The train stogped, and slid out again famediately with the advancing morning. But the day was far speedier. A creek, with which we kept erratic oipany for some miles now, was laughing and glowing shéwiug rich, subdued purples and blues. The tufts of sage brush assumed their own bua of green.

The EDISON'S SUBMARINE. Present Type Will Be Revolutioniz- ed He Says. West Orang 0%, 11---Tho- mas A. Edison -1 studying the submarine, ant .- predicts that the type of undersea craft™in use today will be revolutionized. Already he has perfected a storage battery which overcomes the danger of gen- erating chlorine. gas when the cells are flooded with water, thus insur- ing the health of the occupants of i the submarine. Mr. Edison said he would build a submarine some day. He said: "I have been studying the sub- marine for some time. I study a thing thoroughly before I commit myself on its possibilities and so 1 might say that after going into the matter of submarines it is safe in aying that a type of submarine will be built in the near future that will make obsolete those now in use," The wizard is still devoting at- tention to the new "talking movie," which he calls the kinetophone, and he indicated to-day that something new in this line would soon be forth- coming, "I told the people when the kine- tophone was first put on the market that sooner or later they would be able to see and hear operas by the best artists for a nickle," he said, "The working man has popularized the 'movie' and now we are going to give the poor man and' his family something more for a nickel." A SUSPICIOUS MONUMENT. One in French Village Ready for German Guus. Paris, Nov. 11-----The Intransigeant calls the attention of the authorities to the remarkable nature of the mo- nument erected in 1910 at the village of Champigny-gur-Marne, 13 miles east of Paris, Acting on information received from Champigny readers, Intransigeant reporters visited the monument yesterday. It consists of a granite obelisk with an inserip- tion commemorating Wurtembur- gers killed during the battle there in 1871 The obelisk is situated in a platform 20 yards square, on hills commanding the Champigny fort, with a full view of the towers of No tre Dame. According to their instructions, the reporters tore up the sods cover. ing the platform, which they found to be of the solidest construction, the material resembling cement, At two points of the platform were ho- les six inches in diametre suitable for affixing supports for mortars which to bombard Paris Inquiries elicited the information that a large number of official-look- ing Germans visited the spot last June, while a retired Uhlan. major, who left shortly before the mobiliza- tion had been living in the neighbor- hood since 1910 ¢ Detroit Germans Warned.

Never was the monarch more woe- fully misled and mistaken, for with one accord the rulers of the. native states of India, who number 700 in all have rallied to the defence of the empire and offered their person- al services and the resources of their states for the war. India has sent over 70,000 men to the front, and accompanying these are six Indian princes, who are worth at least $250,000,000.
