if y The accessibility of the Park will in all probability result in & large numâ€" ber of motoring tourists visiting the area. The tourist can leave the City of Nelson and drive a distance of 20 miles, of which 12 miles arse along the beautiful north shore lake drive, to the entrance of the Park at the Molly (Hbson Mine concentrator on Kokanee Creok. It can also be entered from Kaslo and Slocan Lake points, but to avoid delays and inconveniences it is proferable that one entar from Nelson.

The park contains an area of 100 | square miles, 50 square miles of which | wre over 7,000 feet in elevation and 85 | equare miles over 6,000 feet. It is | Iiterally studded with mountain peaks, | the highest being over 9,000 feot.| ‘There are seven main glaciers, the| largest of which is 8 square miles In‘ wrea. _ In addition there are thirty | lakes about 6,500 feet in elevation, the kargest being Kokanee Lake and Kaslo ‘ Lake. There are no higher mountains . for hundreds of miles to the southb, past or west, while to the north may be seen the high peaks of the Selkirk Mountains and their hundreds of gla. clers. l To the vocationist desiring to get out in the open and roughing it, Koâ€" kanes Park is an ideal place. It i» a Asherman‘s paradiso. The lakes and streams are teooming with bass, trout, parch and other species.

Use a piece of heavy twine to check the opposite wheels, by tying one end to a rear wheel spoke, and pulling it teut directly across the front wheel, and find which surface comes in conâ€" tact with the tightly drawn string first. It is permissible for the front of the tire to be oneâ€"eighth inch inâ€" side the rear edge. More than this must be corrected. Often a flivver engine will be hard to start after a cold night.

However, recognizâ€" ing the need of such a park, British Columbia recently created the Kokaâ€" nes Glacier Park, in the Kootenay Disâ€" trict. No better location could have boen selected.

During 1921â€"22, when the road was inâ€" complete, approximately 115,000 peoâ€" ple visited the Rocky Mountain parks. With the road completed and facilities for motorists greatly improved, this number, during the coming year, should be greatly augmented, and as Kokanes Park is only a few miles off the main highway, no doubt it will be visited by thousands of people from the Prairies and "acrossa the line."

Of all the phenomena of nature the wind seems to be the one that is most strikingly endowed with personality. Sunlight, starlight, moonlight, thunder and lightning, rain and snowâ€"there is no wide range of expressiveness in any of them. But the wind has moods and a manyâ€"sided character; indeed there is no human emotion, no virtue and no vico of the human soul, that does not find its representation or its symbol in the blowing of the wind, says a writer in Youth‘s Companion. The insane, destructive fury of manâ€" kind at war has its counterpart in the tormado and the hurricane. _ Violent gales, though less demoniac in temper, show occasional outbursts of brutality corresponding to those that human beâ€" ings sometimes exhibit. Then there are the meanâ€"spirited, {llâ€"natured gusts that do spiteful, malicious things and play disagreeable practical jokes; exâ€" periencing them, we feel that the wind is at heart a vindictive bully. At other times it is better disposed, not yet quite amiableâ€"boisterously humorous, usually at the expense of people who dislike boisterous humor. But even those people will admit that now it has got rid of its malice and is merely prankish and not above playing the clown. When the wind ceases to be aggresâ€" sive it becomes gentle, confiding, symâ€" pathéetic, affectfonate; it soothes and Hudson Maxim, noted inventor of the famous Maxim machine gun and high explosives, is still very active at the age of 71.

Much has been written in criticlism of English, French and Russan novels, but never have their essential natures been so crisply described as in these paragraphs of anonymous origin: An English novel is a book in which two people want each other in the first chapter, but do not get each other unâ€" til the last chapter. A French novel is a book in which two people get each other right in the first chapter and from then on to the last chapter don‘t want each other any more. The wind is like people; it cannot always be at its best.

Ordinary black pencils are made in more than fifty varieties, hard and soft. The variety of pencils made with different colored leads is also very considerable. But apart from these the penell manufacturer issues a variety of pencils made for quite special purposes,. There are pencils made for marking prices on polished metals, porcelain, ollcloth, and even patent leather. In each case the lead is made so that the mark can be easily rubbed out. Among the most interoesting pencile made is one used only by surgeons, For marking out lines or divistons on the surface of a patient‘s body before performing an operation the use of a pencil is sometimes necessary, and as the ordinary pencil is useless, a spe cial one is made which marks the skin as clearly as an ordinary lead penoll will mark a sheet of paper.

The close of the war left the nickel companies with large supâ€" plies of the metal on hand. As the principal use of nickel has been as an alloy in the manuâ€" facture of armament and proâ€" jectiles it was necessary to find new uses and new markets. This campaign has been gradually seâ€" curirg results, as the increased output shows. The development of malleable nickel has also addâ€" ed to its range of uses, permitâ€" ting it to be drawn into tubing for chemical processes and labâ€" oratory uses. area last year produced €61,440,â€" 000 pounds of nickel, valued at $18,433,000. This was three times the quantity taken out in 1922, and the largest output ever attained except during the war years 1915â€"1918, when in 1918 the record production of 92,507,298 pounds was turned out. There are only two other places in Canada where nickel has been reported as of commerâ€" cial importance, both in Ontario, at Alexo, about 150 miles north of Sudbury, and as a constituâ€" ent of the Cobalt ores at Cobalt. A small deposit occurs near St. Stephen, N.B., but it is not of commercial value. The chief competitor of Canâ€" ada in the nickel markets of the world is New Caledonia, an is land in the Western Pacific ocean, 700 miles east of Queensâ€" land. Ontario, however, at presâ€" ent produces about 80 per cent. of the world‘s nickel supply, the easier mining and the larger available supply being the chief factors in enalling this country to secure the market. ‘The Natural Resources Intelâ€" ligence Service of the Departâ€" ment of the Interior at Ottawa Utili:i;'hs‘:we; "Gas. w POST .
