George lam, who shares with Sir Thomas Shaughnessy the reputation of being the biggest factor in the prosperity of the C. P. R., can always be depended upon to turn a meat point. Speaking at a Montreal re- creiting meeting the other 'eve ning, Mr. Ham, in urging Young men of military age to go to the front, made this declaration: "If I could only take off twenty of my years and give them to my little grandson, there would be two new recruits for the 60th Battalion." "Same old George," was the com- ment of a newspaper veteran who was at the meeting. "Twenty-five years ago, as president of the Ottawa. Press Gallery, I was in the chair at our an- nual dinner, then held in the Russell House, with Sir John Macdonald on ong side of me, and on the other the G¢vcenor-General, Lord Stanley, of Peston, later the Earl of Derby and now dead. The proceedings were well along, but George Ham and one of the most: popular of the gallery of- ficers were missing, and it was sus- pected that the two absentebs were together. After a while George came in, dressed in tweeds, and took his seat beside Lord Stanley. " 'Where's Blank?" was the ery which greeted him from all over the room. . 'George stood up and, raising his made the solemn announcement: 'Gentlemen, I have just left our poor friend. He is in There is a bottle of Scotch there too, and it is a problem whether the Scotch or Blank will be first.' " Big Work at Eugenia. Hydro engineers have succeeded in coupling the Falls of Eugenia to the immense power chain that is being pieced, link by link, in the Province of Ontario. Eugenia Falls are locat- ed about .20 miles south of Colling- wood, and are about 600 feet in height. This is the highest water development in the Dominion, al- though falls in British Columbia ex- ceed Eugenia in height but not in size. The Eugenia Falls are located | on the Beaver River, on miles village of Ceylon! Dams from the which the engineers have thrown across the country near the falls create a lake of 2,000 acres area, con- taining over a thousand million gal- maximum depth, Should the volume of dam water fall to fifty million gallons in a dry sea- son this lake will supply water to tide over the difliculty. The engineers have located the power house about two miles from the base of the falls. To guard agalust any of the possibility of the | conduits bursting, an immense tank, | 105 feet in height, has been erected by the engineers. Fisheries Engineer for Ontario. Canada is certain to be visited by | increasing numbers, of tourists and | holiday visitors during the next few i years. | other parts of the world preclude the Conditions in Europe and in possibility of safe travel abroad. For this reason Canada should encourage tourists by perfecting and adding to her many natural attractions. The recent action of the Ontario Govern- ment in appointing a consulting fish- eries engineer and fish enlturist is, therefore, to be commended. The { mew official is Mr. J. B. Fielding, F, Z.8., of Barrie, Ontario, and his work will be to examine the waters of the province to determine scientifi- cally their suitability for the various species of fishes. Special efforts will also be made to develop new and at- tractive fishing grounds for holiday- ing sportsmem. Another important branch of the mew official's work will be an attempt to improve the strain of some of the Ontario fishes, which | have steadily deteriorated within re. i cent years.

FRIDAY, SE TAKING SOUNDINGS AT SEA. |For Deep Water Work Machines That Carry 300 Fathoms of Wire and a Twenty-four Pound Weight Are Used. Casting by Hand In Bad Weather. "By the-d-e-ep, nine" The peculiar, long drawn out cry of the léadsman in the chains echoes out as the cruiser gathers speed and be gins to move through the water. "By the mva-r-k, ten!" We watch the man as he twirls the lead in the air, and reels off the sound- ing with mathematical accuracy. He is standing in. the port "cHains"--a small platform, perhaps four feet square, jutting out fronhone end of the cruiser's bridge. To us his' position seems rather precarious, for his perch overhangs the dark water thirty feet below, but the man himself--a seasop- ed petty officer--feels perfectly safe, for he leans his body against a canvas "apron," waist high, while lils feet are firmly placed against a wooden bar se- cured to the platform ijtself. But let us watch him as he makes a cast. He first sees the end of the lead line is properly secured und then pro- ceeds to coil it up in bis right band. | The line itself, whitened by long use, baP sundry little marks at various dis- tances along it. At two fathoms (twelve feet) from the lead are two strips of leather, while at three fath- oms there are three. At five fathoms, and again at fifteen, is a piece of white bunting; at seven and seventeen fath- oms, a piece of red bunting, and at ten a piece of leather with a hole in it | At thirteen fathoms comes a rag of | blue 'bunting, while at twenty-three is | a small bit of line, with two knots tied in it, spliced into the lead line itself. The lead line is twenty-five fathoms long, while the lead secured to its end is about fourteen pounds in weight. The bottom of it is hollowed out to re ceive the "arming" of tallow or soap, and this allows the nature of the bot- tom to be ascertained, for the sticky substance will come to the surface with particles of mud or sand, etc, ad- bering to it. "Heaving the lead" looks easy enough, and anybody who is accus- tomed to doing it will say that it is quite simple; but it takes a long time before a man becomes a proficient leadsman. A novice is apt to be fright- ened at the whirling fourteen pound weight on the end of its line, and if he loses heart and omits to give it that | peculiar little jerk which brings it fiy- ing nd in a circle it may fall per pendMeularly in close proximity to his head. Heaving the lead may be gil right enough in good weather, but in the winter, when it is blowing hard, rain ing or snowing, it is anything but pleas | ant. The driving rain and snow search out every portion of the leadsman's anatomy, even though he may be wear. ing oflskins, while bis hands get numb' with cold until there fs no feeling left in them. Fig The deep sea lead line, which was in- variably used for deep water work bes fore the introduction of patent sound- ing machines and would still be used if they broke down, consists of 100 | fathoms of line and a twenty-eight | pound lead. It is marked up to twenty fathoms in the same way as the hand lead line, and then at twenty-five, thir ty-five, forty-five, ete. fathoms with one knot, and at thirty, forty, Gfty, ete, with three, four or five knots, and 80 on, to the greatest depth of the line, The ship is usually stopped when » considerable time for the lead to reach | the bottom. : i The patent somnding machiné cof | sists of 300 fathoms of thin piano wire wound on a drum, and to the 'end of the wire 1s secured a twenty-four | pound lead, with, just above it. a pes Torated brass sheath fitted with a cap. Before sounding takes place a glass | tube open at 'one end and coated om | the inside with a red chemical coms | pound, is placed jn the brass sheath. The wire is then allowed to run out until the lead is on the bottom, and as it descends the pressure forces thie water up the glass tube and turns the réd chemical into a milky white color | for a certain distance up. | The lead is then hauled in by hand, | or by a motor, and the depth is as- certained by comparing the line of demarcation between the two colors marked in fathoms. With these simple but extfémely res liable machines soundings cin be ob tained at greater depths, and with the | jehip traveling at a far greater speed, | than with the band lead and line, | though, as already stated, the older method Is always beld In reserve.~.

FLAHERTY OFF AGAIN. - i Canadian Explorer Makes Another} Mysterious Journey. Mr. R.

At the time of Mr. Flaberty's re: |} turn to Toronto last spring, it was rumored that a hurried return would be made to the islands, but con- | cerning this neither Mr. Flaherty + nor any of the membars of his party would say anything. ~ Théir chief con- cern seemed to he the condensation to reasonable length of the thousands if of feet of film showing various inter- esting scenes from Esquimaux life, and the difficulties and hardships en- countered by the party of explorers.

Mr: Flaherty's various trips of ex- ploration to | Hudson's Bay * have been in the interests of Sir Wil- liam Mackenzie and Sir Donald Mann. Mr. Lewis Lukes, assistant to the president of the Canadian Northern Railway, is in immediate charge of this line of enterprise on the part of the two railroad mag-| nates. { Mr. Lukes, approached by a re- begged, under the plea of business, to be excused from discuss- ing the matter for the present. It is understood that Mr. Flah- erty's discoveries on these islands, which have been lost to civilization | since the days of that' intrepid seventeenth century explorer, Hen- drik Hudson, include mineral de- posits of promising proportions. whettter gold, silver, or some lesser metal, it is impossible to say. That the find is considered a valu- able one, however, is shown by the! | aura of mystery which seems to sur- round the outfitting and departure | of the latest expedition; the sparse- ness of detail in Mr. Flaherty"s de- scription of the islands; the fact that his story of the discovery was not made public until some time after his return to civilization; the secrecy maintained coricerning his future plans; and, last of all, by the facts that Mr. Lukes, when seen over a month ago, preférred that mention of the expedition be withhheld from | publication until after Mr, Flah- arty had left. Seemingly, the "feathered Esqui- maux," whom Mr. Flaherty found to be the sole human inhabitants of the islands, are not the only attrac- tion of this almost unknown land. The discovery of the islands. was made in a nonchalant sort of way.
