I should place the figure &t between two and three thousand. Eighty per cent. of the horses owned by Indians to-day in these districts have either been caught wild, or are colts of wild mares cap- tured a few years ago. Strictly speaking, these animals are not wild, but feral. That is] they are descend- ed from tame horses which escaped from their owners, and have deteor- fated until to-day they are mostly undersized and lack the staying Power of the horse bred in captivity, though extremely hardy.

Historians relate that the natives were amazed human creatures of the Centaur type. Coming to comparatively recent times, the British - Columbia wild horse received hundreds of new members in the days of '98 and '99, when the gold rush to the Klondyke Pack trains with { dreds of miles of country, and as | was inevitable that many should es- cape the dally morning round-up. * Possibly because he is a descendant of a '"eclvilized" ancestor, the feral equine is extremely wary of man, and a dificult animal to capture. In February, 1916, in partnership with Joe Graves, I set out to round up a bunch of wild horses in the aeighborhood of Youngs Lake, East Lillooet, about forty miles north of the Canadian Pacific Railway 'ine. { Joe had hunted wild horses Zz%.sev- ' eral years, and knew the country like an open book. NS ® moat other wild gregarious animals, horses do not wander far afield unless the band becomes too large for its feeding grounds, or they are frightened away. They roam at will throughout the summer and fall months, selecting the shady timber- od lands where files and mosquitoes are scarce, but in winter, they come down to the meadows and frozen Swamps where the grass is long and easy to paw from under the snow. In Youngs Lake district, there is a chain of scattered meadows, stretching over Was on one of these meadows) that to the hunt, We were | riding strong well-fed horses, and Wo 88t out prepared 10 stay away two or three days if n cessary. We left Joe's homestead pe on a bright sunshiny morning, with the thermo- meter registering fifteen above zero, which is comparatively warm for that part of the country. We rode easily for several hours before coming sud- denly on a band of nine horses feedv ing in a little "pothole," or small meadow hidden in the timber. The horses saw us and were off at a gal- lop In a trice. Spufring our mounts Wwe started in pursutt, and for an hour we. kept them going at full speed, following their well-beaten trail. At the far end of a long mar- row meadow, Joe pulled up his horse and sald: "Guess we'll have some- thing-te eat new, and let our horses rest awhile. Those 'cayuses' (the Indian werd for horses, but gener- ally used by white men to denote an inferior animal), will only go a cou- ple of miles further on, and will stop and rest too. But they won't get any- 1B 1 thing to eat there, while ours can Sot a feed here where there isn't much saow." As Joe had surmised, we came up- on the wild band only a"¥hort dis- tance from the meadow. They were standing about, resting. Two of them did not got away to & good start, and my partner waved me back. I soon saw he was going to try to eatoh up to the laggards and lasso one of them. Spurring his® horse furiously, he was soon within roping distance. Uncoiling his lariat, he circled it over his head, ready for & throw at the right moment. Sud- denly he stood up in the stirrups and flung the noose neatly over the wild horse's neck. The captive fought frantically for 8 couple of minutes, but Joe's horse was trained to the business, and there could only be one end to the strug- slo. The wild horse Jumped, plung- od, bucked, twisted and turned. The rope around his neck was gradually choking him. Suddenly he reared. That finished him.

W. Luce 8 Toronto Star | Weekly. May Amend B. N.A, | Two current developments are em- phasising Canada's progress toward nationhood. One is the definite an- | houncement from London that Can- | #da is to have a minister plenipoten- | tiary in Washington; the other is an | intimation from the Canadian Gov- | ernment that the Imperial Parliament fa to be asked to amend the British North Amerisa Act (Canada's Consti- | tution) wo that future amendments | may be made by Canada without ref- | erence to the Imperial Parliament. | © The request that Canada should | have the right to amend her own con- | stitution arises not from any specific | issue, but from a recognition 'hat in | theory the present situation does mot | conform with the idea of "equal na- | tionhood," now being promulgated. | So long as the Canadian constitution | can only be changed by an act of the | British Parliament Canada's status is | technically that of a colony and noth- | ing more. In practice, however, for | many years the attitude of the Im- perial Parlfament has been that any request for a change in the B. N. A. act would be granted at once and no questions asked, with one proviso, | that the request be ressonably unani- | mous as far as the « [erent parties and sections of Canada were con- cerned. The proposal now is that the Cana- | dian Parliament can itself make these | changes provided all the provinetal legislatures agree to them. It will be seen that this is a more stringent | regulation than even the difficult pro- vision under which the United States Constitution can be amended. But | the problem which makes absolute | unanimity of all the provinces in Can- | ada necessary is Quebec. Under the | B. N. A. act certain rights to Quebege, | granted when the province was come | quered and ceded from France wére { perpetuated, and Quebec has always | felt that she was more certain of Justice and the continuation of her "rights" when in the hands of a Brit- { ish Parliament than she would be if | thrown on the mercies of her neigh- | boring. provinces in Canada. Conse- | quently the proviso that all provinces must agree to proposed changes | means chiefly that the other eight | Provinces must not be allowed to | "put anything over' on Quebec. The | proviso will of course similarly safe- | guard any other province. | Though thels has been no clamor | for changes the B.N. A. act, it is possible important changes in it may follow its Canadianization. (For example, defenders of the Canadian Senate have always declared there Was no use agitating for its-abolition | because the Imperial Parliament | would never consent. Similarly it | was said the Imperial Parliament | would never consent to the abolition {of court appeals to the Privy Coun- | cil. If mow it becomes possible to | abolish the Sendte and appeals to the | Privy Council by Canadian action alone, it will be up to t advocates of these measures to show how earn- | est they are. Testing Engines. The - tractor, like the {automoblle, or the truck, has for iis {most important feature the engine. | This must always be given a most thorough test. There are several tests which 'a new machine is ordinaril { put through preparatory to its being | offered for sale. First of all; the engine is run un- der some power other than its own. Then it is run under its own power, under load. While this is being done the final adjustments are made and a reading made. Many companies do not make tests on perhaps more than four per cent. of their passenger cars. This is not necessary, because such a vehicle is not dtiven under full load. An apparatus, known as the Prony brake, is an important instrument in determining the brake horsepower | the engine is developing, and also to {impose a continuous load on the en- gine, 30 as to test it. Brake horse- gove is the power delivered at the ywheel, or at the power take-off pulley, if the engine is mounted in the chassis. With the Prony brake it is pos- | sible to transform the power at the {Aywheel into force that may be meas- {ured with a seale in pounds, so that the engine eMciency may be determin- ed.--Illustrated World. -------- Chippendale furniture was made in England.

Pizza, who made the jour- ! ! ney to Lisbon expressly for that pur- | pose, and there is evidence from | letters written by them which fell in- ! to the hands of the Government that | these same officers eavored, by | means of secret societies, to bring about revolution in all the countries; of middle Europe. It has been definitely ascertained that, in 1842, Carbonarism in Portu- gal was under the direction of Gen. | Joachim Pereira Marinho and that | branches had been established at Lis- | bon, Coimbra, Porte, Virlato, ' Ali- | Jubarrota, and Pocheco, and that | commissions were despatched te establish other branches in the north and south of Portugal. In 1848, after the revoiution of February, which established the second republic in France, Gen. Marinho remitted his power to the Abbe Antoine, known in the order as the ""Gecod Cousin Ganganelli," then residing at "Coim- | bra. In October of the same year the members of the Grand Lodge met and clected Dr. Francis Fernandes Coste as Grand Master, who adopted as mottoes, in addition to the words | "Equality" and "Unity" already in | use, the words 'fraternity' and "Lib- | erty." Carbonarism had developed so strongly in Coimbra and neighbor- hood. that there alone it numbered about 500 members, the majority of whom were fully armed. The move- ment, (however, languished, and though attempts were made in 1853 and 1862 to revive it, it eventually disappeared. At the time Marinho was in charge of the affairs of the order, a foreigner named Jefferson founded at Porto a "society under the name of the Carbo- nari llluminates, of which five lodges were formed. This society was a com- bination of Carbonarism and Illumin- ism. In 1896 Carbonarism reappear- ed in Portugal, but it bore no resem- blance to the former organization, which had disappeared entirely. The constitution, ritual, and evem the methods were quite different. Toward the end of 1895 therd was formed at Lisbon a Masonic Academy, composed principally of students of 'the higher school in that city, of which® society Luz d'Almeida became the Grand Master. It was also knowa as the Academy Revolutionary Com- mittee. In 1896, Luz d'Almelida, with the approval of some of the members of the Masonic Academy, initiated some of the ordinary citizens, his in- tention being to merge the Academy into a branch of Carbonarism, which | he founded shortly afterward under | the title of Vente Jeune Portugal, | but the mafority of the students did not favor this revolutionary move- | ment and immediately ceased mem- | bership. The Jeune Portugal move- | ment, however, still continued and | sought to spread its republican ideas by propaganda in cafes, schools, fac- tories, in the columns of newspapers and popular and academic magazines, as well as by meetings in the publie Streets, where it endeavored to imbue the people with the belief that their | liberty was in danger. Luz d"Almeida also established in 1899 a Masonie | lodge, which 'was called the Lodge | Montaigne, but it was a departure | from eemasonry praper, its object | being to spread republican opinions, | though it used every effort to secure | the election as Grand Master in 1907 of the republican, Sebastien de Magl- | haes Lima. | Considerable progress was after- { ward made. by this new Carbonari | movement, and by October 5, 1910, it | bad 60,000 members spread through- out the country. The initiates were taken from all classes and Included doctors, lawyers, professors; engi- neers, soldiers, naval efficers of high rank, public officials, clerks, me- { chanics, ete. Carbonarism was to be | nYet with everywhere--in the Govern- { ment, in office, barracks, on board | ship, in tramways and fallways, and even in the police. It continued, even | after the proclamation of the repub- | lie, its real object being the consoli- i dation gf the' Portuguese Republic: | | Carbonarism was, as it has always been, opposed to the clerical party, and particularly to the religious or- ders. Several anti-Jesuit and anti- clerical demonstrations at Lisbon car | be traced directly to its work and in- | fluence. In order to achieve these | | anti-religious ends, Carbonarism has | always been ready and willing to | contribue, directly or indirectly, to the cause of secular education, to the assistance of the distressed by all the means in its power, and in its collec- tive form it undoubtedly exercised a great influence. Luz d'Almeida, In 1808, had been arrested and put into prison, but was shortly afterward released under the amnesty granted after the elimination of King Carlos and the Crown Prince, In 1909 he was again in danger of arrest, but succeeded in escaping to Spain, but was forced to leave there for Paris, where he co: ed his Rugies, securing a doctrate, after ending his thesis in tw languages --French and English.
