I well re I well recall the impressions experi- enced the first time I saw our Indian guide of the French River, drink from his paddle. We had gone up the Murdoch and portaged to Crooked Lake. (A lake that only last year was opened up by the Canadian Pacific Bungalow Campâ€"~above). Nosooner had we got into the canoe and gone a few lengths than the guide ceased stroking and careened the paddle blade so that the clean, cool water dripped as from a clear fountain into his thirsty mouth and throat. No weight had changed, the canoe still ranged ahead from the last stroke, the guide did not change his posture, there was no sound, his eye still com- manded the scene. The action was so swift and silent that without bidding my own eye ranged off to the wooded bank, _ searching _for_ _the ~v~â€"---, imaginary foe whose mocassined feet and wary intuition may have traced the invasion by the summer camper of this hitherto undeveloped “aunt of trout. 7 C Thus swiftiw did this simpxe act recall the time when it was first tactic-ed. That time in the history of Canada when the Red man’s foes \. ere so numerous, when the urge of hr. nting so keen that 9 en when he tuok 1. air ink of water he must never lo<e tic-.1 t vigilance which kept him always on guard.

We admire these things in ancient and distant peoples. but we are given to overlook them and set little value by them when they 'occur at our very doors as it were. 0 Canada is particularly rich in “inventions” of this nature. They are not here things of the Past but of the living Present. I saw the Indian drink from the paddle only last sum- mer, 'You may see him this. ‘ Adaptation or resourcefulness in so simple acts are among these primi- tives, p:ogressive after a fashion. The. next time our guide took a drink of the cool lake water, he broke the deep flower of a pitcher plant from a clump that grew by the bank and made a drinking-cup of it. Not limited to one cup you see. And in the transi- tion from the oar we can feel there was a transition in poetic fancy. It was a drink of relaxation... a sip of nectar from the flower’s heart. And had he been of the Far East we should have said “See the artistic development of this Jap” but being of the West and of the Wilds, it was wholly unlooked for and evoked more of surprise than anything else. It called out on elemental feelings of lurking danger or watchful foes, but the pleasing cognizance that Art is Universal and that some of the primitive inventions follow the sweeter paths of fancy, rather than ,the ever-present Danger spelled of ithe “oar-blade" cup.â€"By Victoria 1 Hayward.

This is not. due to the fact that it rusts, for the metal does not combine chemically with the oxygen of the air or that of water, but. to the circumstance that a sert of decay does attack it producing a change in its crystaline structure. the nature or which does not seem to be clearly understoml.
