During the season just closed I now her of experimonb were carried on! looking to the imitation of aircraft for supplementing the work of parties employed by the 'ropographieal Sub vey in western and northwestern Con- adn. These experiments were con-g durted by the Royal Air Force of Can. min under the direction of Mr. A. M.’ Narraway, Controller at Suns", and! consisted of the taking of series or. CO Carried Aerial Camera. A survey pnrty hed been sent into this area in the spring to establish 3 through traverse line dong the main weterwaya extending from Athspspss- how lake to the Churchill river, u well as throughout tho mineralised are: to the east. In anticipation of the aerial photographic work to be un- dertaken. the party we: instructed to note carefully the stations occupied so as to be able to identify these points on the photographs. The party was followed later in the season by s seaplane carrying a pilot, an engineer. end I photographer with suitable emergency rations to provide against forced landings. The plane carried an eerial camera mounted over the nose sud made nights at a height of about 4000 feet over the course followed by the survey party. Oblique photographs were token it intervals of shout three miles so that each picture would show in the tore. ground the temln shown in back- ground of the preceding one. tn so. ditlon to these, other photographs were taken in a systemstic manner " right angles to the line ot tiight. In this way photographs were obtained or a strip of country stretching tor over tive miles on each aide ot the line of traverse. 700 View. Obtained. Subsequently, when the photographs had been developed and collated. u grid system was laid down on them based upon the points of the survey. and corresponding to a. system of aquares on a plan. thus enabling the various topographical features to be plotted. Upward: of lawn hundred views were obtained. The” are now being plotted and the resulting maps will be the most complete over issued of any district in the North. The next series ot experiments was carried out in the settled areas in the vicinity of Red Deer and Edmonton. Alberta, where topographical maps were being made by the ordinary Lrld methods. Oblique photographs were taken " various Altitude: from the thousand to ten thousand feet. A further series of experiments was conducted in the Edmonton district. in conjunction with the surveys for the classification of lands for settlement. This work requires the use of accurate maps showing the rout and trails, areas covered by truatt,uoramps, hay meadows. and other natural features. Mapping by ordinary methods is neces~ sarily slow, whereas, since the coun- try suitable for settlement has already been laid oat in sections and quarter sections, and as the surveyed lines and roads "nearly all visible from the sir, all f urea my be mapped without further ground control. Results and Conclusions. The experiments above described in. dicate great possibilities. In Western Canada the Dominion Lands survey forms an excellent natural system for Smiling photographs and outline mops can be tilted in " a reuonahle cost. In the unsettled North, the country is similar to the area near Pu end it is only reasonable to expect that the same success which attended the or permeate there will be attained when the method is applied on 3 lower scale. Results indicate that it is possible to so into on area previously unmapped and by means of eerie! photography end . comparatively null mount tte ground work to map even the no“ il- tricate waterways. A greater dip tence can be covered in the season with considerable saving in cost. ial Photography to Mapping of North West Canada.

In fact, it must be ascribed to a period quite some time utter the ad- Ivent ot the Normans. for the name l, Isabelle itself did not exist among the t Anglo-Saxons, nor among the Normans i at the time of the conquest. I Era-"T: IBSON. VaHatlon---tbbot, Ibbotuon, Ebet, Ebl. 8outNre--A given name. From the form of the name you wouldn’t think that Ibsen or any of the above variations ot it come trom Isabella, but they do, all of them. Of all the women'l names which in England gave the to family names, Isabella is one ot the leaders. The ex- planation lies In the tact that the name was far more popular during those centuries in which family names came into vogue than it is today. The color varies according to the amount of salt in solution in the water; end as the concentration of salt ls greatest when evaporation is greatest, and therefore where the sun In strongest, the blue Is intensified to. wards the Equator. Nevertheless you can trace a rem- nant ot Norman inttuettett in the dim- inutives of the name. the ending in "0t" and "et," which place it not among the very latest of surnames. And we know that it did develop " tore the court and legal records ot England ceased to be written in French. and the clerks dropped the use of Latin. In many of those ancient records you will find entries ot names such as "Robert iii. (abbreviation of the Latin illius, son) Ihotne," and “Herve Btrlttote." But no such names As a rule. tropical seas appear quite blue, and as one travels farther trom the Equator the blue gradually changes to green. To speak of color in water seem " surd.

How many instances there are, though, where water seems to be colored, either " reaction of light or by material or or- ganisms contained in it. as Pitaibbot have come down to us, in- dicating that at the time the Ibbot names developed the people them- selves had ceased to speak French. In the case of the Mediterranean the salt is further concentrated owing to the tact that less fresh water is de- posited into it by rivers. The blue sky also increases the color ot the sea by its reflection.

In Douglas you have a family name which an such rivals the most ancient of the Irish family names, though it ts not Irish, but Scottish. The clan of Douglas claims the un- interrupted use of this name in the family sense for more than 1,100 years, which is a noteworthy cikim consider- ing that most family named can be traced back only to about the year 1900. When Solvathlui was king of Scol- land, in 770 A.D., the clan of Douglas was well established, and the name has been passed down from generation to generation, from that day to this. If the foregoing claims are accepted and they appear to be vttrified by such records as are available. this funny name came into use just about the time the Anglo-Saxons were getting well settled in England and were re- pulslng the attacks ot the Danes. it is told also that one of the ancient leaders of this clan crossed over to the continent and took service with the great Charlemagne. receiving from him grants ot land in Tuscany. At any rate there are Douglas“ in Tuscany. I. well-established and numerous family. which tends to substantiate this bit ot history of the Douglas clan. All those who bear the name ot Douglas eveidently may trace -their names back to this great clan, unless, of course, some one of their ancestors at some period consciously adopted it.

A Hawaiian planter, named Charles Ecksrt, has found a use tor this hither- to waste product of the sugar industry. Reduced to pulp, and made into an asphalt-impregnated paper in rolls ot immense length, it is put to a. use which is so surprising as to seem al- most incredible. Two great enemies have been the bugbears of the sugar-growers, weeds and torrential rains. The first took the nutriment intended tor the plants, and the second washed the root: out ot the soil and did immense damage. To-day there are machines which travel across the sugar plantations lay. ing this paper like a long carpet over the soil in which the roots lie buried waiting tor the season of growth.

KEEP LITTLE ONES WELL IN WINTER Winter is a dangerous season tor the little ones. The days are so change- ttNe-one bright, the next cold and stormy, that the mother is afraid to take the children out tor the fresh air and exercise they need so much. In consequence they are often cooped up in overheated, badly ventilated rooms and are soon seized with colds or grippe. What is needed to keep the little ones well is Baby's Own Tablets. They will regulate the stomach and bowels and drive out colds, and by their use the baby will be able to get over the winter season in perfect sate- ty.

She says:-"" anyone can strongly re- commend Dr. Wllliams' Pink Pills I feel I can. For over tour years I had been troubled with my nerves. and for weeks at a time I would antler ter. ribly with headaches. My blood was very thin, I had no appetite, could hardly go about. I was afraid to stay laione in the house as I feared some- , thing would happen me. Finally I de- ‘cided to try Dr. Willisms' Pink Pills and they have made me a new woman. Fi, I am now the picture ot health. I have increased in weight, the head- laches come no more, and my nerves are as good as ever they were. Be- tore I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills life was a burden; now I enjoy living, and I hope some other woman will take courage from my experience. for I feel sure that what this medicine l did for me it can do tor others."
