The main University of Toronto exâ€" hbibit is of a photographic and descripâ€" tive nature. The principal group sonsists of photographs of fortyâ€"eight mportant University buildings â€" arâ€" yanged in groups of six in eight Last spring, when the British Emâ€" pire Exhibition was first talked of in Canada, Sir Robert Falconer, Prostâ€" dent of the University, expressed to the Director of Exhibits, Mr. J. 8. Mcâ€" Kinnon, his opinion that higher educaâ€" tion in Canada should receive attenâ€" tion. This suggestion met with apâ€" proval and the University of Toronto was asked to supply an exhibit showâ€" Ing the process of manufacture of Inâ€" sulin. This has been prepared by Dr. ‘R. D. Defries of the Connaught Labâ€" eratories and is a very attractive one. ‘Insulin is ailso to be exbibited by the Medical Research Institute of Engâ€" Jand, which holds the patent rights of the serum for Great Britain.

Brain power is such an intangible thing that it not only beggars desâ€" cription but it absolutely defles adeâ€" quate photographic reproduction. Conâ€" sequently the University of Toronto, in preparing the exhibit which is now on its way to the widely heralded Briâ€" tish Empire Exhibition, which is to bo held at Wembley Park, London, Engâ€" land, from April to October of this year, had to resort to a display of the material things of the University‘s life.

One nature lover says that often he has found the half dead body of an old squirrel lying with his feet and legs lacerated and his strength exhausted. On digging down through the snow The storehouse in the tree is often exhausted a month before spring, and so it becomes necessary to draw on the pit for more food. Squirrels that have buried their treasures in the ground can locate the spot even if the earth is covered with snow, and if there has been no midwinter thaw they will exhaust their energies in tryâ€" Ing to get at their buried food. Their little feet are often scratched and bruised in digging through the icy sgnow and frozen ground. Suddenly the stiliness may be broken by the merry chatter of a squirrel as he perches saucily on a nut tres and calls to his mate in the warm nest. If you are very still he will run to dig out some of his buried treasure, stored so carefully in the autumn. Unâ€" erringly he will go to the right spot, and after scraping away the leaves and dirt will reveal a goodly store of nuts that he had saved for just this future use. Do met think that because the trees are bare of leaves all interest has fled from t.hg woods. He is fortunate, inâ€" deed, who can take a stroll through the leafisss arches and perhaps come upon the life both waking and hiberâ€" nating that is sheltered there.

The little son of the house was very quiet during the first part of the dinâ€" ner, and everyone forgot that he was there. As dessert was being served, however, the host told a story. In addition to these large frames there are two smallor frames containâ€" ing each four interior photographs of the Royal Ontario Museum. There are also sixteen large plctures giving inâ€" terior views of Hart House. A large descriptive chart has been prepared under the direction of C. W. Jeffreys showing the function of the Provincial University in preparing experts to deâ€" velop Ontario‘s vast resources. Seyvâ€" eral portfofios of smaller pictures will be on hand. Flags and the usual deâ€" corative trimmings will complete the exhibit, which is to be arranged under the direction of a University of Toronâ€" to graduate living in England. Press.

One miscelâ€" laneous group includes the Ontario But when the bat returns to life again in the spring the wound is all healed up. They are probably the most curious hibernating creatures that we have. Their sleep begins earâ€" ly in the autumn and lasts until spring is well advanced. Then they wake up and rear their young, appearing around the house and the orchard in April after the flies and bugs. They select a dark part of the forâ€" est and seclude themselves in the holâ€" low trunk of a tree, so that they are rarely discovered. If touched by an intruder on a warm day they will squeak and make a great noise, but rarely open their eyes. To the touch they are cold and clammy, and on exâ€" treme®y cold days their limbs appear to be frozen stiff. With a slight blow (which of course would not be given) it was found that a wing or claw may be snapped off. If a bunch of bats could be discoverâ€" ed in the hollow trunk of some old forest tree during the midwinter thaw your walk would be richly revarded. They hibernate together; one bat fastâ€" ens his claws into the tree, the second clings to the body of the first and so on. Thus they all hang together for mutual warmth. A flock of bats when libernating looks very much like a bunch of bananas hanging from a tree, and in this condition they sleep throughout the winter, waking up only during the thaw. ‘ and dirt he has found every time a small store of nuts. shed and the laughâ€" little son exclaimed the other one."

Tyn dall once rode on the back of such an avalanche in the Engadine, but was fortunate enough to be able to extri cate himself when it stopped. A still earlier avalanche was that which fell on the Italian village of Berâ€" gamoletto, in 1788. On that occasion three women were buried alive in a stable. Fortunately, a milch goat was imprisoned with them, and they conâ€" trived to live on this animal‘s milk for five weeks, at the end of which they were rescued. One of the worst of the historic avalanches occurred in 1901, when quantities of ice broke away from a glacier and rushed down the mountainâ€" side, overwhelming a village on the road over the Simplon Pass. All the inhabitants were killed. ® Riding on an Avalanche.

And let us be sure that in the hearts of real music lovers there is a safe retreat for such as these and all their fair and lovely companions. The good songs never die, nor do any other good things. Or do they, having found themselves in a turbulent throng, which is daneâ€" ing the dance of death, escape with their beauty really unmarred into some safe sanctuary? And yetâ€"do these wonderful songs ever die Do they pass into oblivion with the cheap, tawdy and unbeaut!â€" ful things int>o whose company they have been jostled by the mob? Where is "The Rosary?" Into the limbo of forgotten things! The same thing happened to "The Bells of St. Mary‘s," a wistfully beauâ€" tiful song, that touched the cathedral note without becoming mournful. Beâ€" cause of its consummate art, this song, too, went the way of the dance halls. Then like a beautiful maiden. outâ€" raged, it was flung aside. "A Perfect Day" suffered such a fate. Its very simplicity gave it an inâ€" itant appeal. The orchestras adapted it to waltz time, and it was parodied by burlesque performers who cared aothing for its fragile beauty. It was pounded and mistreated in a horrible way, until the public was sgtiated; then it was thrown into the discard. by the record makers, Jazzed by the dance orchestras, _ maltreated by vaudeville performers, and whistled to leath by the butcher boy. But in the course of the year there are one or two songs that have the opâ€" jeal and character that entitle them to longer life, if not to immortality. What becomes of these songs? T-hey are gelzed by the publishers, mauled Thousands of songs are printed each year. Sure fire hits, dance songs, ‘rick songs, current slang and hokum, ind the public pays its admission and frequently makes a man rich out of ne song. And it is well for the song writers of toâ€"day that their effusions do not live. For they are a very commercial and mainâ€"chanceâ€"seeking group of smart young men, who know as much about music as the oldâ€"time chap in corduroys who played the hurdyâ€"gurdy. The song writers pick out their notes with one finger, setting the tune by whistling it to some poor musical hack who is "up" on theory and techâ€" nique, and away she goesâ€"another "moonâ€"spoonâ€"croon" monstrosity. The new crop is worth money. The mortality among ballads is treâ€" mendous. _ They live and" die like morning glories or sandfiies. A brief and hectic career in dance hall, cabaâ€" ret and vaudeville setting and they pass along to forgetfulness and silâ€" ence, hummed only-‘ln broken bars by the thoughtless. By this we mean songs that are good and songs that are bad, songs that have melody and songs that are mereâ€" ly chasing the elusive dimes that come across the counters o#the five and ten cent stores. » "murdered ?"
