With a little gasp Ruth stooped at the only point high enough to admit her, and entered the cavern. "Oh, but it's cold!" she shivered, and the tones of her light voice echoed. Hastings laughed and steadied her toward the turn of the vault. The sound rumbled uproariously. "Great echo, what? But of course it's cool--cool as custard. Why shouldn't it be, with ice all around and ice water below? But we won't be here a minute. I just want you to see this fly. Careful--take that small- er stone. That ice cake is flat enough --0.K,," and the two stood at the turn of the passage which was com- pletely filled by their bodies, ~ The vault beyond was like a little chapel, "Everybody here but the minister, eh?" queried Hastings jocosely with a little pressure of her hand; and he hummed "Here Comes the Bride." If was really romantic. But behind them a scrap of ice fell from the glacier"s mouth and rattled audibly on the stones above the rush of the water. Ruth jumped nervously, "I don't think we ought to sing or shout in here. Avalanches are some- times started by a mere whisper, ou know. Those big cakes back there probably | fell by their own weight." he wiped from her face the drops * which had fallen from the roof of the grotto. "But they are at the entrance. They couldn't possibly do us any harm un- less we happened to be going out." "Perhaps rot." She lookéd doubt- fully at the ice cakes grouped at the cave entrance. All the same it seemed ~--well, almost irreveren* to shout in a cave. It was like "inging In a thunderstcrm = when the lightning might strike any minute. But the dragonfly was astonishing. He was = ectly preserved, and suspended as n air in the translucent ceiling. "Poor thing!" said the girl, looking up and-touching with her finger the ice to test how deeply the insect was imbedded, "I suppose he lighted on the glacier years and years ago on some hot afternoon like this, and got numbed ,and Jnade a dust hole and sank in. A. spatter of ice water struck her nose; "Ugh" she shivered. For the first time she looked directly at Hastings. In the blue light his bronzed face had a weird, unearthly appearance. She, must be a fright. The knowledge in- creased her conviction that they had been there long enough. "Let's go now." They picked their way toward the entrance. In the middle of the vault the man threw up his chin and gave a parting halloo. The cave seemed full to bursting with the sound.' And somehow, when it should have "ceased it continued in an ominous splitting noise. Before their eyes a huge sl of ice detached itself {rom the glacier and fell in the only path of exit from the cave. The room darkened some- what, Even the man turned sérious. "Stay here!" he ordered, and for the first time Ruth heard from him the tone of the dominant male. He strode forward regardless now of the shal- low water and examined carefully the space bounded by the bed of the gla- cier and its edge. It was the largest remaining exit, but it would not pos- sibly permit a human body to pass. He began to creep about the cavern, peering between the margin of the ice and the rock below, and sounding the spaces with his walking stick. Ruth waited in petrified silence until he had made the circuit. Then "How are we going to get out?" she asked. "Well," he said shortly, "we aren't going to get out--at once. My plan would be to wait until our friends re- turn to the hotel. They knew we were coming here, and when we don't turn up for dinner they will hunt us up." "But dinner isn't until seven, and they'll spend at lest an hour at it, because there's nothing to do but eat and play cards after dark, and after that it will take an hour to get here, and 'then they'll have to go back for pickaxes and things to pick us out." "That's 0," the man acknowledged "Well, we'll have to do the best we egh to keep dry and warm until we see whether we're going t6 be rescued, »" and he added: "As long as there is any light the ice will let a good deal cf it through." -He stooped and began to collect loose stones from the floor of the cave and put them in a spot near an opening. where droppings from the glacier were least frequent.

Every young mother should mem- orize a few of the songs and finger plays, and study the explanations, mottoes and pictures in Froebel's "Mother Play," so that she may begin] to use them in her home long before the kindergarten age. I have used them and find that they teach the Vir- tues which later it is so hard to instil, for, as Froebel says, "Mother, you can now do with a touch as light as a feather what you cannot later accom- plish with the pressure of a hundred- weight." I have also found that the songs and plays fill the child's heart with joy and contentment, entertain him immensely and supply his imagination with wholesome food. If the mother has memorized some of the songs, she can sing or croon them while busy about her household tasks, and in this way can often direct her child's thoughts and play, with definite aims in view. Her walks or rides with the children may also be made occasions for such play. To illustrate how Froebel's philos- ophy helps the mother to train her child, let us consider first the pat-a- cake play. You smile and say, "Why, all mothers play pat-a-cake with their babies; that is nothing new." Yes, mothers have played pat-a-cake for ages and ages, but if they want to know why they play it, let them turn to Froebel, who points out that the reason the little games is so widely known is because "Simple mother wit never fails to link the initial activities of the child with the every-day life about him." He also says, "The bread or, better still, the little cake which the child likes so well, he receives "I from hig mother; the mother in turn receives it from the baker. So far so good. We have found two links in the great chain of life and service: Let us beware, however, -of making the child feel that these links com- plete the chain, The baker can bake no cake if the miller grinds no meal; the miller can grind -no meal if the farmer brings him no grain; the farm- er can bring no grain if his field yields no crop; the field can yield no crop if the forces of nature fail to work to- gether to produce it; the forces of nature could not conspire together were it not 'for the all-wise and bene- .| ficent Power who incites them to their predetermined ends." It is because we mothers have felt perhaps dimly and unconsciously the lesson « which the pat-a-cake play 'teaches of dependence on one another, and the gratitude 'each owes to all, baby when he is six months old." It affords him great satisfaction to exer- cise his arms and to direct his move- ments so that both little dimpled 'hands meet together. ~ When "1 start to play pat-a-cake with my Son gs 'and Music" of Froebel's "Mother Play," that I am ready to teach pat-a-cake to my baby, and as I have shown, I do not teach it all at once, but refer to it again and again, perhaps when we are out working in the garden on a sunny day, or in the house 'watching the rain. When my child is old enough to be interested in such things, we go into a bakery shop and, to the astonishment of the baker, ask if we may see his ovens. We often pass a mill and I tell my child that this is the place where the lesson of pat-a-cake goes on for a long time before it is first played in baby- hood. It teaches us to be ever thank- ful and baby learns to say: "Thank|™ you, dear mamma," "Thank you, dear baker," "Thank you, dear God." There 'are many other songs and games in Froebel's "Mother Play" which I give to my children long be- fore the kindergarten age. In all of thote they take the greatest delight. I begin early to sing the songs and play the finger games which nourish the instinct of love for the members of the family and affection for ani- mals. The. Family Song for Teaching Affection.

McLennan, University of Toronto, recently addressed the Chemical Society of Great Britain on "Helium, its Production and Uses." In the autumn of 1915 the Board of Invention and Research requested Prof. McLennap to undertake a survey of the helium resources of Canada and of the Empire and to investigate their production. In Ontario, Prof. McLennan found the percentage of helium in natural gas to increase from 0.16 to 0. 33 of one per cent. as he went further west. He estimated the whole available sup- ply at 2,000,000 cubic feet peryear. In the Bow Island gasfield in southern Alberta the percentage 150.36 and the possible annual Sup. Ayer 1,000, 000 'cubic feet. Following the erection of a small experimental plant at Hamilton, Ont, in 1917, new works were established at Calgary, Alta, in 1918, in the Build- ings of the Western Canada Natural Gas Co. A run of three days produced in the second stage, 700 cubic feet of helium: of 90 per cent. purity. The purity was finally rajsed to 97 per cent., 99 per cent. being attainable. Prof McLennan states that a plant "could be established at Calgary which would yield 10,600,000 cubic' feet of | 'helium of a purity of 97 "per cent. per year at a cost of $150,000, Each tains direstions so simple "Make your hips, buty e small avaflable supply will prevent its use for such 'purposes...
