Link. 8 Johnny Penguin of the Ant- arctic the nearest approach to man in the animal king- dom?" This is the question that scientists are asking themselves to- day and, because of the remarkable tales reported by returning explor- ers, who have lived in the Antarctic, these big water birds ure being sub- Jected to the closest scrutiny by thosé who are constantly seeking that missing link between man apd his dumb friends, . That the penguin possesses facul- ties not common to any other animal, not even in the monkey, who fs BUp- posed to be nearly human--is ad- Yanted by Dr. G. Murray Levick, R. N., zoologist of the British Antarctic expedition of 1910-1913. All animals especially young ones, play, and seemingly enjoy themselves, but their play is only part of the duties they will perform in later life. The dog worrying a plece of rag is only learning how to worry some enemy; the cat chasing a ball, creeping up {on it and springing to pounce on it, is doing just what it will do as a full | grown animal. But penguins are dif- | ferent. They play for the sheer love | of playing, and they live in commu- i | nities with a neighborliness that is { very much akin to the cities and | manners of humans, A full grown | penguin stands above twd feet im | i height." The wings are .short, not suitable for flying, but as flappers are | | used .to hurry through snow orf wa- ter. The legs are far back and are used to keep the bird standing up| _| right. {, The penguin is equally at! | home on land or watér, finding its ! teod in all small sea life. | | One of the most remarkable traits | of the penguin is the way they ap- | parently talk to one another. A { dozen birds will meet on one of the | | beaches, and, gathering in groyps of five or three, spend 15 or 20 min- utes in animated conversation--ut- | ! tering cries distinetly different in | tone. As they "talk," other birds { join them, and frequently they play | on the ice just as bathers at Palm | Beach sport before they enter ' the " | One of the choicest games with the | penguins is to Torce one another into ! the water. They push and duck, two { or three birds making a concerted at- | tack on-two or three others. Some. | times a bird is immersed, only to hop | | out a second later and try to push in | | the bird responsible for its ducking. | This sport occupies some time, and i ! then, as if from a signal, the whole | | tens of thousands | works on the part of fame. ONEBOOK 0K AUTHORS. The Works That That Ma Made Many Men Become Famous, Everybody knows that there wre, | or have been, authors who have only | written one book, like "John ingles ant," which took Shorthouse sixteen years tc complete, although it is an average-sized novel, those are not the authors to ---- this article would draw attention: but rather those that are kmown by one book only, although they may have written many. For instance, John "Bunyan is al- | ways called the "Author of 'Pilgrim's Progress.' " As a matter of fact, he Wrote quite a number of books, but few have ever seen them, and fewer still have read them. Then think of "White's Selborne." The name of the author is immortally linked with one word of the title of a hook, the full title of which is "The Natural History of Selborne," and which has made a little country vil- lage better known to the English- speaking world than many a big city. There is, too, "Walton's Compleat Angler." Nobody thinks of mention- ing the book without at the same time mentioning its author. The two are united in a bond of literary mat- rimony which none can put asunder. Daniel Defoe wrote many books and whole sheaves of pamphlets. They are #ll in the British Museum, and "Moll Fianders™ and "A Diary of the Great Plague" ean be got by the curious, but the only book which counts is "Robinson Crusoe." .+ To the great world it is the only book Defoe ever wrote. The rest are no- where, Cervantes wrote bushels. He was & very voluminous writer, and )os- sibly thought less of "Den Quixote" than some other of his works. But the rest may all be burnt for what the world cares. "Pon Quixote" will keep his memory green as long as language lasts. How many people read to-day 'Locke on the Understanding"? Yet of people who never saw the book know it by name and always say it in that way. The book is entitled * "The Conduct of the Understanding." and it is by John Locke, but nobody would dream of puting the matter that way round. "Foxe's Book of Martyrs" is an- other instance, and so is "Gulliver's { Travels." Some poets are cursed, or blest, with the same selection from their Gray wrote several splendid poems, but it is always "Gray's Elegy' which is mentioned in conjunction with his fame. Cowper need never have writ- ten anything but "Cowper's Task," unless an exception might be made for the immortal Gilpin, and even "Milton's Paradise Lost" is general- ly 'referred to in that way, as if there { were other works with which Mil- { ton's might get mixed.

Even in nesting time the bird has to bathe, the male looking after the eggs while his parther goes to the Snow slides are popular forms of amusement, the birds mak- ing the slides by packing the snow with their strong breasts till the slide is smooth. During the breeding periods the birds live in big rookeries, generally on some rocky headland, not far from the water. * When the mating season begins the penguins arrive singly nd in groups, the early comers pick- | ing out the choice places for nests {and then setting to work to defend { their positions, Some of the birds point, but they are always in/ the best of condition, fat and with sleek | plumage.

"They saw the man who had been the hero of their boyhood, who had again become the hero of their declining years driving from office to office, signing letters, dictating minutes, and discharging without assistance thé work which it had previously taken four busy Ministers to per- form." He Had Him. Some time ago the Archbishop of Canterbury, was to officiate at an"tm- portant service in London. The main entrance to the Abbey was opened, and a great space roped off so that the dignitaries might alight from their equipages unmolested. a dusty four-wheeler crossed the square, driven by a fat, red-faced cabby, bobbies rushed out to head him off. "Get out of 'ere," one of ' them called briskly." "This entrance is re: served for the Archbishop." With a wink and a backward jerk of his thumb the irrepressible cabby replied, cheerfully: "I "ave the old buffer inside." . Now an Author, Mr. Herbert Asquith has added to his roles of barrister and soldier, and has published & book of poems, 'The Volunteer." This is not Lieutenant Asquith's first essay in lterature, for he has been adding to his by no means gigantic income by journalis- tic work for some years, and his re- cent articles signed "Subaltern" in the Spectator-hnve attracted a mood deal of attention.

THAT SHEDS HAPPY LIGHT ON. . HIS CHARACTER. An Associate Tolls Of An Incident +egariing 1 The Queen's University : 'sancellor--An Appreciation. ueen's Quarterly has thpough the courtesy of the American Institute of Mining Engineers been able to lay before its readers ap "appreciation" of Dr. James Douglas written by Dr. Albert R. Ledoux for the Bulletin of | the Institute for its readers an Yap preciation of which was prepared specially on occasion of presentation to Dr. Douglas of the John Fritz medal for. notable achievements in mining, metallurgy, education and industrial welfare." There is a great deal in this sketch relating to Dr. Douglas' connection with the house of Pheleps, Dodge & Co., its mines and railroads, and to his remarkable success as president and manager. In closing it, Dr. Ledoux says: "Al- though thinking great thoughts and being associated with great men, no. thing was too small to escape his at- tention; nothing too insignificant to awaken his sympathy." And then he tells a little story that sheds a happy light on the great seientist's character. While he and Dr. Ledoux were testing tin mines in North Car- olina théy came across an old pros pect shaft, come ten feet deep, in the bottom of which Dr. Douglas observ- ed a number of frogs that had fallen in and could not escape. Although their time was limited and the work before them considerable, Dr. Dou- glas would not leave the neighbor- hood of the old shaft until he had caught the elusive prisoners and tos- sed them out. to safety. We must not forget that Dr. Doug- las is also a man of letters. He was in the morning prime of his long and useful life when he read before the Literary and Historical Society an essay on Canadian Literature. To the same society his father had pre- sented long before the stirring story of his iife as a surgeon on a whaler, in India, and on the Mosquito shore, Honduras, Central America. This vivid chapter in the elder Dr. Doug- las's early life is given in full in the Journals and Recollections. The short list thdt Dr. Ledoux adds to the Catalogue of Dr. Douglas's scien- tific writings is not complete, but it contains some of his most important works, Of these.the best worth read- ing is "Old France in the New World," 'a picture of "Quebec in the Seventeenth Century," which is its alternative title. This volume has for frontispiece the triple study for | a portrait of Cardinal Richelieu, of Philinpe de Champaigne, a reproduc- | tion admirably executed, and which it is a privilege to possess. The other illustrations in the book are valuable both for their rarity and the skill of the engraving; There is a | splendid full-page portrait of Bishop! Laval and other great historic figures | are not forgotten. The muthor's in- | timate knowledge of old Quebec and its points of interest was a great ad- | vantage to him in writing such a book and a blessing to the reader. | The Chapel of the Bishop's Palace, | wire the first House of Assembly | met in 1792 (from Bourne's Picture | of Quebec) is not without. interest | for retrospects suggested by the | great fire at Ottawa. The 'Bishop's | Palace (from Richard Short's draw- | ag of 1769) is another interesting | picture. The Jesuit"s College and Church (frem Smart's (?) drawing, 1759) and the interior of the same after the-siege are also of interest. These may serve to indicate the | worth of one feature of the thought-.| ful and independent vet sympathetic | picture of the life of the people of New France under the old regime; | in the reign of Henri 1V., Louis X111. | and Louis XIV It is worthy of the author.
