"A | | © of the Lone Scout "shortage. We have no desire to keep . By this time a copy of "On Lone Scout Trails", the Ontario Lone Scouts' own paper, will be in the hands of every "Lonie" in the prov- ince. This is a most important number as it com the 2nd birthday of Lone Scouting in On- tario, and it is full of interesting and useful information. ! It is interesting to note that the only complete set of "On Lone Scout Trails" in existence is in the hands Commissioner, Capt. John Furminger, and he too has the very first copy that ever came off the press, The "Tiofls" is running a Bird House Competition at present and a number of entries have already been received. Some of these are very original and it will be interesting to.see who Is the first Lone Scout to report that he has a tenant in his birdhouse. : Of course, every Lone : Scout should have two or three such houses erected in the vicinity of his home, 80 that he can get better acquainted with his feathered friends. And now is the time to start col- lecting information for the Bird War- den's Badge, and this takes quite a long time to complete and requires a little patience. Ask your Scout- master for particulars about it, it you do not already know. This week we have news of irter- esting activities from several sources. At Hensall, Patrol Leader Albert Passmore reports that his Patrol have been at work reconditioning their "Den". They have put in a new floor and have tar papered the roof, and decorated the interior with a collection of shells and souvenirs of their various hikes and trips. A valuable asset to this den Is a library of over fifty volumes. From Shedden comes the news that the Patrol, under Hugh Creagh have found a new Patrol! "Den"--an old sugar shanty in the woods--and they are very busy putting it into shape! for Scouting purposes. 'We heap that the Silver Fox Patrol t 'ates at Pickering, under P, L. Fred Rob- inson, has now reached {t's full strength, thanks to the perseverance and grit of the original members. This Patrol meets regularly in the b t of the Rectory. As recorded In last week's Issue, Scouting at Lakefield Preparatory School is in a flourishing condition, there now being fifteen Lone Scouts registered there, and these are divid- ed into two Patrols, the Lions and the Bears. When the Lone Scout Com- missioner visited the School a short time ago, ten of these Lonles were put through the Investiture Cere-}| mony, and officially became members of the Great Brotherhood of Scouts. From Burks Falls come more appli- cations to join our ranks and we must congratulate Lone Scout Bill Ware on the keenness with which he has worked to form a Patrol In that place. - It may be that some Lone Scouts are contemplating a trip to Toronto in the near future, and in any case they are undoubtedly interested in the activities of their city brothers. On May 8th next the Toronto Associa- tion are staging a "Scout Circus" at the Varsity Arena on Bloor St. This will be a most spectacular affair and well worth seeing, and all Lonles will be welcome at that show. And now Easter is with us once again, and we have commenced Spring officially. Every Lonie is eagerly looking forward to the long days and the warm weather. At this time of the year Nature seems to make a new start, and shall we not also follow her example as regards our Scouting? : See to it, then, Lone Scouts, that your Good Turn is done every day, that your "Do your best" in every- thing vou undertake and that the ten, Scout Laws are carefully. followed. And above all each one'of you should "Be Prepared" at all*time for any emergency and to respond to the calls for activity which are sent out to you from time to time. "LONE E." Hotel in Jungle Scientists' Home For Monkey Study Kindiiay French Guinea. -- T h e French government, through the Pas- teur Institute, recently completed a modern hotel at the edge of the jungle which is the home of the greatest known colony of chimpanzees. It is fitted with every possible comfort and is open to scientists of any nationality to study chimpanzees first hand with- out danger or discomfort. The hotel is at Pastoria, the scien- tific city built by the Pasteur scien- tists just outside of Kindia, on the railroad which links Conakry, the port and capital on the Atlantic, with Kan- kan, in the heart of the forest. A half- million chimpanzees Jive within an hour's walk of the railfoad. The hotel is seventy-five miles deep in the forest and already French scien- éxtensive experiments, particularly tests of the institute are engaged in seeking to identify the germ of can- ter. Hundreds of chimpanzeés have been inoculated with cancer germs and are under observation, as the institute 18 now concentrating its efforts on that study. The Kindia forests supply practical iy all of the chimpanzeeg used in the world's laboratories. Th8 Pasteur In- stitute in Paris has imported many. Dr. Robert Mearns Yerkes, of Yale, author of a book on chimpanzee intel- ligence and its vocal expressions, which he wrote after a visit to Kindia, took Guinea animals back to America with him. A census has estimated a half-mil- lion chimpanzees in this one colony and they breed faster than sclentists require, but the government, to insure a constant supply, has forbidden hunt- ers to kill them for sport. "Kindia alone can supply all the world's needs in monkeys and chim- panzees for experimental purposes for a century to come," Colonel Wilbert, of the French Colonial Army medical forces, in charge of the establishment at Pastoria, said. "There 1s no danger of a monkey Kindia and its rich monkey population for French sclentists. On the con- trary we Invite foreign scientists and it 1s for their comfort that we have built the hotel. "The hotel of eighteen guest rooms constantly will be filled with scientists of all nationalities who have to regls- ter long in advance to obtain accom- modations, Our chimpanzees and our tropical forests are at the disposition "of all science which knows no boun- daries." . : "British Coal For France British coal exporters are rejoicing because, of total imports of 24,726,728 tons of co:l into France last year, 13,- 500,000 tons were from British mines. _At Rouen 105,000 tons of foreign coal, mostly British, were received in one 'week in January of this year. Treasure Worth $100,000 Found in Ontario Museum Toronto.--A scarab of the reign of Shabaka, King of Abyssinia, who con- quered Egypt, and set up the twenty- fifth Egyptian dynasty, in 712 B.C, has been discovered in the Royal On- tario Museum here, by Dr. 8. A. B. Mercer. research professor of Egypt- ology, University of Toronto, For 19 years the scarab has been here in the museum, its significance unrecognized. It 1s valued at at least $100,000. "This scarab 3 one of the most important things in the museum. There are few historiccl inscriptions of the reign of Shabaka, and those which we have are very precious," said Professor Mercer. "It is on the basis of such in-| formation that we have on this scarab, that the histories of ancient peoples is reconstructed. This is the best discov- ery in the field of 'Egyptian history that has been made for many years." The newly discovered scarab is one of many relics bought in England in 1910, by Prof. C. T. Currelly, director of the archaeological section of the museum. m------c-- Londo Church Revives Ancient Lenten Custom London--In olden days the fourth Sunday in Lent was known in Eng- land as "Mothering Sunday," and on that day all children made gifts to their mothers of flowers and "simnel" or "mothering" cakes. An effort is being made to renew this old custom, and a London church --St. Andrews-by-the-Dardrobe -- in Queen Victoria street," London, pres- ents hundreds of "simnel" cakes to' the children. How to make one of these cakes Is told in an old-time Shropshire jingle: She who would a simnel make, !Flour and saffron first must shake Candy, spices, eggs must take; Chop and pound till arms do ache; Then must boil and then must bake, For a crust too hard to break, 'When thy mother bear thy cake; She will prize it for thy sake. rl ------ Kingsford-Smith Wins Segrave Trophy London -- The Segrave Trophy, given each year to the British sub- ject who accomplishes the most out- standing demonstration of the pos- sibilities of transport by land, air or 'transatlantic flight, and his fight, from England to Australia. ners fp reas 1929, the tourist traffic still remains. a decidedly prolific source of income in Canada.
