During the war the val- increased __* air serv- mail ana ue of Indo-Canadian trade 19 times. •Canada’s trans-Atlantic ice to carry armed forces official passengers between Canada and the United Kingdom was begun in 1943.

The . idea of an Indian riding over the; trackless prairie with a spectacular | cascade of feathers streaming be™ i hind his head appealed to the im­ agination of the period. Fiction writers mentioned head-dresses and artists used them; on calendars, in illustrations and cigar store Indians . of the last century they are shown as if they were characteristic of all Indians. Needless to say, this was an error; they belonged to the Plains Indians and to them alone, No one could wear such a head­ dress in the dense forest eithei’ of the west coast or of Ontario. However, the tradition of the head-dress - got into history books and the Indian children in all parts of North America “learned” that their forefathers used feathers— the white man said so, therefore it must be so. It was an easy step ■from this to the manufacture of feather head-dresses, often of chick­ en feathers, to satisfy the wishes of the tourist photographer or the needs of the pageant. So to-day one ■meets in. all parts of the continent feather head-dresses clumsily made. They are sad degenerations of the beautifully manufactured and dyed insignia wherein definite rules of as they tournaments of mediaeval Europe. In the Royal Ontario Museum there are examples of superb Plains head­ dresses including one worn by Sitting Bull; in the Ontario gallery, a later specimen from Northern On­ tario shows how the concept had spread, and the workmanship, at the same time, become cruder. The Legend of the Magnet The story is told that many cen­ turies ago, a little shepherd lad named Magnes Was herding his sheep on. Mount Ida. -Suddenly he became aware that his feet and staff were Now all of us the mud, but mud. The boy It seems that a deposit of mineral which acted like a magnet and attracted the nails in his hoots and the iron fer- rel of his staff. This attractive min­ eral was called magnetite after the shepherd boy. While all magnetite will iron tite the is an exhibit of magnetite suspenti­ ed ovei' some small compasses, each a magnet, showing how the speci­ men affects the positions of the compass needles. This has a .prac­ tical bearing in the field when un­ wittingly a ^prospector, or hunter, walks over a body of magnetite­ bearing rock. His compass no long­ er points north and if the sun is not shining he- may wander for some time before • getting free of the influence of this “attractive” mineral. Gone With the Panzer Divisions Like the modern tank, some an­ cient animals of which dinosaurs and fishes ’may be instanced, bore very heavy protective plates. An­ other example in the Royal Ontar- ion Museum is the Glyptodon, not long extinct. It is a sluggish, well- armoured relative to the present day armadillo of South and ‘Central America. The most striking feature of the specimen is the huge, almost hemispheric shell that covered the back and protected the animal lodged beneath it. This solid, ar-ched buckler, five feet long and three and a half feet high, is made up of small, many-sided, biscuit-shaped bones fitted together edge to edge. Unlike the turtle, which the speci­ men might suggest, the Glyptodon is a mammal, i.e., a hairy animal that suckles its young. This unusual looking creature came from South America, where such animals flourished within the last million years. At that time most of Canada was covered with a great ice sheet, along the borders of which roamed the contemporary shaggy-coated mammoth and mas­ todon.
