ating simplicity and earnestness of the
story, De Foe hastened to write a
teh,--------,--ec,ntinuation, which was eagerly web
'corned, though of inferior quality, and,
even after this came a conclusion, en-
titled, "Serious Reections During the
Life aq Adventures of Robinson
Cnisoe, with his Vision of the Angelic
World." •
This was badly received, and has
seldoni,been reprinted. But the Sec-
ond Part, in which Crusoe's return to
his island is the leading event, is gen-
erally included in modern editions of
the work.
That "Robinson Crusce" was found-
ed on the fact, simple and sole, that,
a few years earlier, a sailor named
Alexander Selkirk had lived for more
than four years on an island in the
Pacific, without a companion, was re-
garded • by Sir. Walter Scott as not
throwing a doubt upon the originality
and genius of De Poe, who, out of that
iucident, bad constructed a tale of a
nevr and striking character. ,

byhis awn desire, an the- unbababited
island of Juan Fernandez, in Septeni-
i diem land, the beneficence of :the Do-
minion's climate, and the profit to be
'found in farming with their assets.
• -It has long been realized that in the
I achievement of such an honor there
I was no material profit for a Canadian
winner. Generally, in a consideration
of the various details entering into
the business of exhtbitierre and the
fioed of inquiries he received as the -re-
sult: of his award, he was subjected
: to a not inconsiderable monetary loss.'
In 1923, for instance,' one hundred
members of the Canadian Seed Grow-
• ersAssociation exhibited their pro-
ducts at Chicago, winning no less than
,
92 awards, including six first prizes
and the world's championship for both
wheat and oats. Yet the total cash
value of the 92 awards amounted to
only about $900.- Canadian exhibitori
