Just over one hundred years ago Dr. Peter Mack Roget, who was born in London in 1779, read a paper before the Royal Society which was destined the invention of the cine "One day in the summer of 1824 he "= was looking out of his window at a ~ baker's cart delivering bread at houses opposite. Passing his eye up and down the slots of a Venetian blind he _recelved the impression of a stationary "wheel, which he" 'BAW Was revolving when he kept his eyes still. He dis- covered 'the cause and effect, and ultl- mately gave his findings in 'nis paper - to the Royal Society. The publication of his paper started a new train of thought among the lead- |. ing scientists of the day; and that hia writings on the subject were widely.

When Captain Joseph Pierre Dufour, as a boy of 15, signed before the mast on the old S.8. Savoy, in the Great Lakes trade, he probably could not foresee what the years had in store for him. That was nineteen years ago and to-day we find him Deputy 'Harbor Master of the Port of Montreal, the second port on the North American continent. | But those nineteen years were crowded with swiftly moving ineidents. for the first two of them he learned the stern discipline of ehips and proved his mettle as worthy of the traditions of the Great Lakes.

The. unexplored regions of Canada's National Parks are more and iors proving a loadstone to the out 'adventurers, = explorers = and are lovers. Hvery season brings reports.of some 'hewly-explored area, attendant on the journeyings of individuals, or parties seeking access to the hidden wonders of remote districts. The present season will witness the inauguration of an annual "steel-to- - | steel" trail trip which will serve as a link between Jasper nad Yoho Nation- al parks," joining by pack pony the transcontinental lines of the Canadian National and .Canadia Pacific Rail- ways. The journey will also offer a means of opening this interesting and beautiful region, which forms the apex of the Rocky Mountains system in Canada, to a larger number of visitors. Although almost the entire journey is made over primitive trails through a mountain wilderness in all its prime- val beauty, no insuperable difficulties are presented, and last year several adventurous women were members of a party which made the trip. The. route covered is about 200 miles and touches tlie practically unknown 'Whirlpool group of mountains between the angle of the Whirlpool and Atha- baska rivers in Jasper park, _the Col- umbia icefleld and the Fortress Lake, Forbes, and Freshfield groups. The pack-train is scheduled to leave Jasper on the first of July, reaching Field in Yoho park, on the 25th of that month. The return trip over a period of 28 days will be. commenced from Field the first of August. ' Wonderful Rosetta Stone. Cross-word puzzle solvers have been much bothered with "A sacred stone."

'BABY'S OWN TABLETS | ALWAYS IN THE HOME Once a mother has used Baby's Own keeps a supply on hand, for the first trial convinces her there is nothing to equal them in keeping children well.

This Troop is dolug nice- ly under the leadership of Scoutmaster McMillan, Fire Prevention. If I remember rightly three Scouts in Woodstock have Been recommended for medals, having successfully passed the very strict examination in fire pre- vention methods arranged by the -Pro- vincial Fire Marshall. The Troop is also very busy laying its plans for the finest camp yet. Reforestation. One of the Troops in St. Thomas hit upon quite a new scheme in tree planting. They obtained from the bush numerous saplings and replant. ed them on vacant places in the town. The owners gladly recompensed the boys who by this method raised over '$30. The three Troops in St. Thomas | are doing excellent work, and two more will soon be organized. The re- cently formed Local Assoclation is calculated .to help the work very ma- terially. Cubbing. Cub work in Merlin and Aylmer is getting along splendidly. The Leaders sure have a great time answering their many questions, - and in providing games as an outlet for the unbounded energy possessed. One little fellow nearly struck the ceiling when giving his jump in the "Grand Howl" If he had succeeded there would undoubted- ly have been another howl. Finance.

They are now be the hottest ever and they are sure a record sale of drinks, pop, and hot dogs will be done by them. A Scout is wide awake, alert always, and these fetlows in Ridgetown are that every time. Blenheim is also concerned with finances but hope to raise what they require in another way. It is proposed to "put oft "a Scoutgram Campaign which is hoped will give good publicity to Scouting as well as 'provide funds without the boys having to employ the distastéful art of begging. In fact Scouts are not allowed to beg. A New Troop. The first Leamington Troop has now been chartered and a recent visitor was delighted to find every boy In uni- form, while the whole group showed evidence of having received good early trajning. Assistant Scoutmaster Craig deserves much praise and it is hoped that plenty of real help will be afforded him in the work. We are hoping that No. 2 Troop will not delay its appear- ance too long.

Fort Smith, which is just north of the southern boundary of the territories headquarters. Another will be erected At Aklavik. These are the standard gets of powerful instruments and will be used for all-year work" The re: maining gtation, which 'will be on Her- schel Island, will contain smaller and less powerful apparatus and will bé used for reporting movements of ves- sels during the season of navigation. During the short season of navigation quite a number of steamers and sall- ing vessels call at Ilerschel Island, necessitating a good deal of custom- house, post office, and police work, and this station will keep the proper offi- gens in touch with what {3s going on. It will be remembered that last year the material for the Arctic station was shipped from Vancouver on the H.B.C. 8. Lady Kindersley and that owing to this ship being caught and crushed in the ice this material was lost. This year the apparatus and fittings for the three stations will be sent down the Mickenzie river from Edmonton and it is expected will reach the destina- tion in good time. When these sta- tions are completed messages will be gent out from and received regularly at Dawson, Mayo, Herschel Island, Ak- lavik, Fort Simpdon, and Fort Smith. Jdmonton is the southern terminus of the system. This will provide for the tfansmitting of messages in the Morse telegraph code and thus break up the long period in each year when it is not possible to communicate with this vast region. ------r For Every IH--Minard's Liniment. -------- Sentence Sermoiis.
