THE SIGNAL: CODERICII ONTARIO
.1
SIR JAMES M. LtMOINE
Canada's Historian and Lltttfrateur.
At "Spencer orange," a sunny homestead normo great trees overhanging
the St. Lawrence, near the quaint old fortress city tat slur we, where every avant
foot of ground went.. 1uneecruted to historic memories, lives Sir James MacPher-
son LDMome, ('atiada'd genial hl4turiuu, now working 0111 141 the etinshme of optimism,
though in 1 'a righty-br41 year.
Item in the city uI Quebec, a deac.•udaut of one of the old and distinguished
families of O France, he ,put some te hes early years under the kindly care of
his Scotch a canal grandfather at Isle aux•uirlets. Atter completing his educa-
tion at the Stu earn• de Quebec, ix entered the Public service ns collector of internal
revenue at the r of twenty-two. Three year4 later by was admitted to the bar
and practised Is fur a few years, but his heart was not in it. He preferred study-
ing history and irds and writing about thein. Surrendering to the spell of the
legendary and hi uric lure of his lattice city and its surromelulgs, hr loved to
breathe new life 111 1 the old romances. or to dive into the nes of historic research
and invl•stigst ilai. The range of his" work can 1e beat suggested by the comprehen-
sive title "Camelia History, legend. aeen.ry and Sport "-a veritable treasure -
house of Canadian 1, , written with a tine: literary touch, and pulsing with vital
hunan interest.
The love of bink, hich led him forty-five years ago to write his first contri-
bution to periodical lite ture on Jand and sea birds around Quebec for the "Can-
adian Naturalist." is a ominating note in his life. Ilia splendid collection of
Canadian birds in the Arnot of his hone attests its loyalt • to his feathered
friends, and "Sprsrr tire ge" is the mecca of students of Canadian annals, keenly
alive to the rare privileges affords them.
Ilia library norms are Ikd to overflowing with books, pamphlets, pictures
and literary treasures; but must interesting shelves are those continuing the
thirty volwlx,l of his writings. ighteen of which are in English and twelve in French.
like Professor 1OWwin smith, it Jaynes' printed books represent the smaller part of
his literary product. for he has numlwrlrse'pamphlets and magazine articles to his
credit that are unfortunately b int in the )oblivion of ephemeral periodicals.
1114 interest in eunn•mpxora natters i4 as deep and vital as ever; his mind
is kern, alert, sensitive as a bane ter to every impression, and he carries bis years
with a grace and ease that laugh Lime and its terrors. For ninny years presi-
dent of the Literary and Historical . iety of Quebec, he bun also had the hi best
literary honor in the Dominion -the j r'ssideocy of the Royal Society of Canada.

The Ole T1aae lasers
Mr. Masetteld's book, "On the Span-
ish Main." presents the Old time buc-
caneer lu a less abhorrent light than
that in which most people have regard-
ed him. He even bad religious beliefs.
No buccaneer was allowed to bunt or
to cure meat upon a Sunday. No crew
put to sea on a cruise without first
going to church to ask a blessing on
their enterprise. Nu crew got drink
on the return to port atter a successful
trip until thanks bad beeu declared for
the dew of heaven they bad •gathered.
After a cruise the men were expected
to ding all their loot Into a pile; from
which the chiefs made their selection
and division. Each buccaneer was ex-
pected to bold up his right band and to
swear that be had not concealed any
portion of the spoil. If atter making
oath a man were found to hay. secret-
ed anything he was bundled overboard
or marooned when the ship next made
the land. Each buccaneer had a mate
or comrade, with whom he shared all
things and to whom his property de-
volved iu the event of death. In many
cases the partnership lasted durlug life.
A love for his partner was usually the
only tender sentiment a buccaneer al-
lowed himself.
"Legmlom• a Camel Deet.
Throughout Eugland there are a num-
ber of tunnels cut for canals where
boats have to be pushed through by
a laborious process called "legging."
This is about the only wdrk on the
canal women do not d,, and they used
*0 do even this. Our may see the
process In operation near Loudon at
the Maida 1(111 tunnel, whirl is some
272 yards In length. Suwetiwes when

Clever Mother Wood Duck.
How does the mother wool) duck get
ler brood of twelve to eighteen duck-
lings from her hollow tree to the
creek? Hunters, fishermen and nature
students have tried to answer this
question, and many are the guesses
at the riddle. Mr. William Brewster
watched an American golden eye that
hada nest in the hollow tree overhang -
Ing the water until be heard her, atter
she bad made au Inspection of the sur-
roundings, utter a "quack" that brought
her brood penmell out of the tree and
tumbling down Into tho water. A mag-
azine writer Buys be has seen the
young ducks climb out of the hollow
down the tree and walk to the water,
which was near by. Others believe
that the mother carries them In her
bill, taking them by their wings; oth-
ers that she carries them on her back.

It really signifies the east In a general

to any country to the eastward of one,
