How much is tourist development really worth to Canada?® _ . _ There are two ways of looking at that question. The usual way is to view it through financial g‘asses. One needs only to glance at the figures cited by various authorities to rea.ize that the money now spent in Canada every year by tourists from abroad has become one of the major items of has become one of the majo our national income. But there is another an equally important side of tion. _ Tourist development wreat deal more than the Be well hemse.ves Make us their spc By force of weather In jeopardy we at« Then welcome Fate Whereby it shall How in all time of 0 And our deliveran Though 1t lDe weil assured, thougi wave a wind Have mightier blows in store, That we who keep the watch assign Must stand to it the more; And as our streaming bows rebuke Each btillow‘s baulked career, Sing. welcome Fate‘s discourtesy W re is not t ut there is another and perhaps ally important side of the quesâ€" i.

And the increased travel of the Canadian people looms up as one of the most effective instruâ€" ments for that purpose. Canadians â€" toâ€"day are _ almost uniquely equipped to see their counâ€" try. It is an actual fact that the 9 or 10 million people of Canada own more passenger autos than any other nation on the face of tie globe except the United States. They own more passengers oars than the 47,000,000 people of Great Britain or the 40,000,â€" 000 of France.

He WIU cit on the ice for hours, in a temperaâ€" trce that would put an ordinary therâ€" mometer out ¢f business, and listen to the phonograph. The Eskimo native muzic is made on j great hoops, as big around as dishâ€" pans, over which a skin is tightly . stretched. They are eomething like ; drums and a good deal like tambourâ€" | ines; you can take your cholce which to call them. EHight musiciars and . drumâ€"tambowrines of different sizes make an Eskimo orchestra. Each man poundsâ€"away with a little rod the length of a walkingâ€"siick. _ All the notes of the octave are thus produced. As the players sing a« they play, and as they keep perfect time, the music has gcood points of its own, but it has strict limits, so, when the Eskimo| hears real orchesiral music it delights him extremely. When McMillan, the, Arctic explorer, lgst sailed for the Arcâ€" tic, a phonograph company sent himl a fine portable machine and a numberi of wecords. in hbis winter quarters,‘ frozen fast to the ice, w‘thin nine deâ€"| grees of the North Pole, the Phonoâ€"| graph was used continually, and conâ€"| certs of "canned music‘" were given to the Eskimo. t Then an amazirig thing was found out. The Eskimo is not civilized, but he can appreciate the most civilized music. He likes it far better than the barbaric strains of jazz. Jazz may apâ€" peal to the African or the Indian, but the Eskimo is rather bored by it; he prefers Liszt. When the "Hungarian Rhapsody" was played, the lubberâ€"lovâ€" ing native would crouch down on the ice and listen, and stay on as long as the notes would float on the freezing air. "My heart at Thy Sweet Voice" was received with as much enthusiâ€" asm as in the Paris Opera Howse. The voices of the stars of the Metropolitan company and the piano solos of Jasef Hofmann were all prime favorites. Jazz was nowhere. The Eskimo musical taste is sound, it appears. Bears, says Sir Hiram S. Maxim in My Life, do not make safe pets. If you step on a dog‘s foot, the dog has brains enough to know that it is an accident and actually expects you to pet and pity him for your blunder, which no doubt you will do. But if you step on a bear‘s foot, the bear will not stop to reason. He will retaliate by taking about a pound of steak out of the calf of your leg. My uncle, Hiram Stevens, after whom I wes named, captured a small cub and brought it up as a pet. It would eat almost anything and about as much of it as a pig, so it soon atâ€" tained considerable size and had very pecullar ways of showing its affection. At that time my uncle was paying his respects to the young ledy who afterâ€" ward became his wife, and she objectâ€" ed very strongly to the bear. . The next Sunday night, therefore, my uncle locked the bear securely in the woodshed, but he had not been very long with his ladylove when the front Gerald Maher, youthful horseman, of Fergus Fal‘s, who carried off $1,150 in prizes at the Minnescta state fa‘r at St. Paul.

That night, about eleven o‘clock, when I had finâ€" ished my day‘s work, I sat down by the aquarium to watch the spider. The spider had taken up a position on a ; picce of stone, where the water was i not decp, and had thrown out its long | legs over the water, upon which thei: | oxtremities rested, making ltt‘s deâ€" | pressions on the surface, ~but not ; breaking the "water skin."

The idea of a creature like a spider actually catching fish and cating them is a startling one, but a writer in Naâ€" tural History Claims that there are wellâ€"authenticated cases on record. He quotes from the observations of the Rev. Nendick Abraham, a South Afriâ€" can clergyman and naturalist, who reâ€" ported before the Natal Scientific Boâ€" ciety some interesting instances of the kind. In the year 1805, says Mr. Abraham, I was living in Greytown, Natal. One day I was catching cmall fish and aquatic insects for an aquarium, using a small net in a shallow stream. I happened to see on the edge of the water a fine spider, which I captured. On reaching home I put my specimen in a large aquarium, where I hbhad a number of small fish. The spider measured about three inches when its legs wore extended; after being on the rockwork of the aquarium for some time, it took up a very unusual postâ€" tion. It rested two legs on a stone; the other six rested on the water, we‘l spread out. Natural Resources Bulletin. Being busy, I merely took note of its attitude and left it to its davices. After a few minutes my servant boy ceme into my study to say that the spider I had put into the aquarium weas eating one of my pet fish, I 2t or~~ went to see what had happened. The spider was on top of the rockwork, holding in its grip a beautifal litt‘e fish about four times the weight of its captor. I was startled enough. How could this spider, which has no power of swimming, catch a lively, quickâ€" swimming fish? I looked at it in wonâ€" der, as it seemed to clutch the fish as a cat clutches a morse. It soon beâ€" gan to devour its catch, and after some time had passed nothing was left of the fish but its backbone. The spidor had eaten it as surely as an otter eats its trout. 0i Think of the good things of life, the beautiful and wholesome things says our teacher.
