He's fitted with pieces of rubber hose'over his horns for the protection of the female (and the keepers). The precautionary step is taken when the mating season of the African antelope rolls around. up many mysteries surrounding the first people to live on the Pacific Northwest coast.," Another discovery, this one in Alberta, pushed back the cur- tain of time by thusands of years. It was made recently at Vilna, about 100 miles northeast of Ed- monton. Dr. R,' S. McNeish, senior archaeologist at the Na- tional Museum at Ottawa, identi- fied an arrowhead found at Vilna as a Clovis point, one of the oldest \ ever to be unearthed in Canada. , Existence of this arrowhead is accepted as additional evi- dence that man first came -to North America from Asia by way of the Bering Straits and Alaska. At the time the Vilna arrowhead was made the ice age probably wet receding, and scientists speculate that an open corridor existed through What is now' Alberta. Clovis points have been found in the United States in a line extending south along the east- ern flanks of the Rockies. From radioactivity tests on mastodon bones as well as on the bones of a long-extinct species of bufe falo, authorities have been able to set the age*.of the points up- wards of 18,000 years. The Vilna arrowhead is de- scribed as "an artistic master-, piece" by 3. G. MacGregor, chair- man of the Alberta Power Com-, mission, who is alto an avid collector of Indian reties; However, since it, was found on the surface in an open field, probably turned up by a farmer's plow, it is virtually impossible to establish its age. Only when organic material such as bone or wood is associated With a find can radioactivity tests be run successfully.. —By Charles Shaw in The Christian Science Monitor A Wontari. was consulting a tombstone dealer with regard to a Memorial for her late huileand. would a simple *Gone do?" asked the dealer.

Shakespeare himself was, in fact, well acquainted with the inns. Queen Elizabeth I took a great deal of interest in the entertain- ments. In 1634 a masque pro- duced as an expression of loy- alty to. Charles I cost $63,000, which in those days was a con- siderable sum to spend on a sin- gle entertainment, • Though in late days the masques were dis- continued, they were revived last year when a masque was produced for Queep Elizabeth II in Gray's Inn Hall, writes R. Arthur Roberts in the Christian Scienic Monitor. Of the great writers of the past, Francis Bacon spent most of his life at his beloved Gray's Inn and was the guiding spirit in the period of its greatest re- nown. Lincoln's Inn was the academy of Thomas Babington Macaulay and Edward Bulwer Lytton. The Middle Temple can lay claim to Henry Fielding, John Evelyn, William Congreve, and William Makepeace Thack- eray. The Inner Temple has its illustrious sons in the persons of William Wycherley, Henry Hallam, and James Boswell. All these writers qualified as law- yers, and though Charles Dick- ens was never called to -the bar he was admitted as a student at The Middle Temple, and other literary giants such as Samuel Johnson and Charles Lamb spent much of their lives in and around The Temple.

Canada's Past Archaeologists have been mak- ing some significant discoveries in western Canada this summer. Their finds may throw new light on the area's prehitsoric period, the customs and adornments of early day Indians. Oldest evidence of human habitation in British Columbia was uncovered by Dr. C. E. Borden, a University of British Columbia Archaeologist, on the east bank of the Fraser River northwest of Yale. Precise age Of the Yale site cannot be de- termined until charcoal there has been tested for radioactivity, but calculations indicate that' the sands in which postholes from a house built there by Indians was laid down when the Fraser River was 50 feet higher than it is today. Two years ago similar evi- dence of Indian lodges was found at Locayna Beach near Vancouver, and it was dated by radioactivity of charcoal fire ash at about 500 B.C. The Yale dis- covery is believed to predate Locarno's. A great deal of waste material from making implements was found in the Yale sands, and several scrapers and arrowheads Were turned up. Dr. Borden says the discovery is particularly im- portant because a sheer face nearly 20 feet deep has been ex- posed, providing a picture of Indian habitation up to— the modern era. "We should be able to trace a long story there," said. Dr. Bor- by a sterile strip of sedimentary den. "It is an ideal setup: Each era is sealed' off from the next by a sterile strip of sedimentary deposits. What is described as the most remarkable archaeological dis- covery of all time in British Columbia was unearthed recent- ly by university students on the Fraser River delta. It was the 2,000-year-old skeleton of a large male native Indian wear- ing a hand-beaten copper breast- plate. The figure was found buried with a hawk and weasel it a midden at Beach Grove,- close to the United States boundary. Dr. Borden also participated in this discovery and he said that study of the mind would "break through new frontiers of archaeology in this province, al- ready regarded as the keystone of this field in North. America." "What makes it significant is the copper breastplate," said Dr. Borden. "It is our first discovery of copper artifacts in systematic digging. Copper has been found here before, but we have never known exactly where it was found. "The wealth of the Indian is also indicated by the breastplate. It may now be possible to link F.11$ ht Of An Eagle Of the three big African eagles am sometimes in doubt as to which is the most superb, Each has, at one time or another, produced some manifestation of pure magnificence as to seem, for the moment, to transcend every eagle I have ever seen, and I suppose it Means that each, in its own place, is the best for that time and place, Verreaux's Eagle is a. bird of wild rocky mountains in dry and remote lands, It is not quite so large as the other two, but in some ways the most strikingly Colored of all—coal black with a white rump and upper tail coverts, an orange core and feet—evening dress set off with flashes in fact • e Verreaux's Eagle has one su- preme quality, grace of flight; there is no more graceful flier in the world. The wings, when silhouetted against the sky, seem more pointed than those of most big eagles, and they are alS0 narrower at the base than in the centre, giving them a shape as. of the blade of a spear. Whether this peculiar wing shape has any- thing to do with it or not I do not know, but the fact is that the birds will soar hour after hour, with scarcely a wing flap, over the rock-strewn slopes they are hunting, or simply poised in the blue sky above some terri- fying crag. I can then lie and watch them for hours. Such is the ease of their motion that they seem to flow from one spot to another and it is only after the effortless sweep has been completed that one realizes that the bird has been travelling at a terrific pace, The golden eagle has this same quality of grace of flight, but Verreaux's eagle eclipses it. On many eve- nings I have sat at the foot of Eagle Hill wathching them. They frequented a rocky out- lying shoulder and they used to circle round the summit ridge for a couple of hours before they roosted. They would be seen poised above it On arrival, and would disappear behind the rocks for a while, M reappear, the pair never very far apart from one another, idling round the slopes without a wing beat, ignoring—if not too persistent— the attacks of such lesser crea- tures as Augur Buzzards ana Peregrin Falcons. Finally, they would hang al- most motionless in the sky above a particular group of Euphorbias on which they roosted nightly, and in the dark would slip gent- ly down upon them, their bladk plumage immediately lost in the shades of night once they de- cided - to - settle; "The Wambere said they had been, there since time immemorial—they could al- ways remember them. And so shall I; it is an unforgettable picture that lives in the mind. —From 'Eagles', by Leslie Brown Ideal Athletes Franz Stampfl, the Austrian sports coach who helped train track stars Roger Bannister and Chris Chataway, predicted that the record smashers of tomor- row will be "young people who spend the greater part of the day in work or study and in pursuit of the full cultural life. I am firmly convinced that for many years to come a man who trains one hottr to one and a half hours a day throughout the year — that is , . . a part-time athlete is still capable of pro- ducing world records," he wrote in. The Observer of. London. "An excessive amount of training can, far from being beneficial, run the body down . . I really do believe that the man with many wide and varied interests will bring to bear op these great performances a . . healthy . . and a vigorous approach .. . My ideal athlete is still the athlete who is intelligent, who has an imaginative approach. In the long run, it will be the poet, the artist, the philosopher, who pro- duces the great performances."

In England, solicitors, who greatly outnumber the bar- risters, form a distinct and sep- arate branch of the legal pro- fession, and it is they who pre- pare the briefs for the barristers and deal with the multifarious day-to-day duties of a lawyer's office. There are four Inns of Court —Lincoln's Inn, Gray's Inn, The Middle Temple, and The Inner Temple,. All are of equal status and can be regarded as separate colleges of the legal university, Each is governed by a council whose members are called Mas- ters of the Bench (or bencitere)• It is the benchers who admit students, direct the course of studies through their represen- tatives on the Ceuncil of Legal. Education, and deal with all matters of discipline and con- duct at the bar, Before a student can be "call- ed" he must "keep terms" by dining in the hall of his inn. This is a traditional custom go- ing back to the days when law was taught after dinner at the inn, mainly by means of moots, which have, of course, in more recent days been cultivated en- thusiastically in Harvard and other universities in the United States. The title "Reader" is still retained for the rank next to the treasurer, who is the fore- most bencher of the inn, but the reader no longer teaches law. In bygone days the readers were obliged to -provide a feast cost- ing around $3,000 during their year of office, and those bench- ers who declined the honor on account of the expense were heavily fined. Many of those visiting London take the opportunity of seeing the halls of the Inns of Court, which'are noted for their archi- tectural interest and are, of course, steeped in glorious trad- itions, At one time the inns ; were seats of learning to which many of the nobility sent their children not so much to study law as to acquire fine manners end for the formation of char- acter through the strict disci- pline at the inns. Singing and dancing were taught, and plays and masques were produced on. Medal occasions.
