Not 4,.):11Y is it important for the preserva- tion of the forests along the sinno with a vicfw te the future supply of timber, but the preservation of these forests and their proper man• agement means much for the pre- servation of thc waterpowers and the maintenanee oi that steady and permanent water -flow which means so much for their value, Moreover, the regulation of the water or thee Streams, so as to provide a steady flow throughout the year and u to have a torrential flow in spring{ and (wbat is of even more import- ance) the drying -up (complete or partial) of the streams in summer, is of the -utmost importance to the farms of the prairie, pray:Imes. Were the rivers to run short ,the resulting, lack or moisture in die soil would seriously interfere with the quantity of 'rain and other produce reaped from the fertile prairie. --During tho whole of the past sum- mer (1910) two parties of the Do- minion Forest Service were in the field marking out the boundaries of the reserve. Both these parties started from Calgary; one worked south and succeeded in getting .as far south as the international boun- dary, while the other, working north, reached a point almost due west of Laeombe (Alta.). During the corning summer the location of the boundary will be centinvaid, and it is expected that the entire east- ern boundary of the reserve (which extends some forty to fifty miles north of the latitude of Edmonton) will bo (let ern) ined The general principle governing the fixing of the boundary of the reserve was that only forest land should be includeat in the reserve, all land fit, for farming (unless in area, so small that it was not worth -while to make the exception) being excluded from the reserve. The al- titede, or height of the country above sea -level, was one of the chief considerations 50 fixing the line. It was found that the boundary fixed by. the Order in Council by which the reserve was set apart was, to a considerable extent, un- suitable. It included, in the words of one of the writers, "Only alpine country, a large portion of which is above the tree limit and the re- mainder unsuitable as regards timber supply for years to come. Large portions of it have been burned Over, leaving bare, eroded hillsides which were formerly cov- ered by a thin aeil and coniferous wood growth.

But on the day in question the heat became so intense that even, the speechless could no longer keep silent about it. To the amazement of the persona addressed, be suddenly burst out with the question: "Is it hot enough for you?" Quite a com- mon remark, but it surprised those who happened to bear It was a startling affect which tho heat had on a couple of young lad- ies at Douglas, in the Isle of Man, last summer. Well-dressed, they were strolling along the Marino Promenade, whom the sun's rays made the water so inviting. that they simply walked into just as they were, Such indifference to their spick- and-span array almost took the spectators' breath away. This, however, did not trouble the two damsels, who splashed about and cooled themselves, while a htughin crowd of holiday makers enjeye the unique scene. Then the twain irmale for terra - firma, boarded a tramcar, and pro- ceeded to their lodgings to change their clamp garments for dry ones. A somewhat different eonstruc- tion was placed en the action of a well-dressed ,son of Erin whom the heat had goaded into plunging into the Thames. When he took his plunge with his clothing on, the river watermen pulled off to the rescue. This was more than the bather had bargain- ed for; and, when» he saw his would be rescuers preparing to use a boathook. he felt it would be bet- ter to "take his hook" than be taken by theirs. This, however, proved impos- sible, and, to convince them that he was not on self-destruction bent he roared at the top of his voice: "Can't you let a fellow have a quiet swim on a day like this 1" But his roar was nothing to the roar' of laughter which tgent up from the spectators at this unex- pected sally.
