Most authors have an affection for certain children of their imagination. Dickens confessed to a special fond- ness for David Copperfleld, largely perhaps as account of the element of autobiography in the book.' Similarly, itisno secret e ret that" is Wolf JV owgli," the Wo f Boy of the "Jungle Books," 'is Rud= yard Kipling's favorite among his fic- tional creations. Though Sherlock Holmes is easily first in public estimation among all the characters created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle; first place in his own esteem is occupied by Rodney Stone. A very good second is Sir Nigel. Thomas Hardy prefers to consider himself a poet rather than a novelist, but if he were to stand or fall by a novel he would choose "Tess'," whilst H. G. Wells would probably choose Tono-Bungay. Stevenson had a great affection for "Treasure Island'," and Allan Quater- See That This Label is -on Your Fox Wire "Prince Edward" Brand English Fox Wire—recognized by the above label on every roll—has given mere than fourteen years of perfect serviee on pioneer ranches and is being used for most of the new ranches, "There's a reason."

Jacobs sets 'his affections on that preacher, : finished diplomatist, and sly humorist, Bob Pretty, whilst, with all his later and perhaps more solid successes, Jerome K. Jerome looks, back with a wistful fondness to ThreelV fen in a Boat" the books which not "only made his name but made the world laugh. • Not ,even Wendy can 'oust Babble from first place in Sir James Barrie's heart; but it is probably his love for his old school, Harrow, which causes Horace Annesley Vachell to love "The Hill" better than any -other member of his literary family. It is often dif ficult to account for these literary pre- ferences. Mark Twain, for instance, regarded that little scallywag, Huckle- berry Finn, with an affection and de- votion worthy of a better cause, and it is possible that, next to Copperfleld, "The Artful Dodger"'appealed most to Dickens.

He speaks very enthusiastical- c u ly of the splendid advancesScouting S o t g i,s making. there and the following brief: remarks indicate that he , has good reasons for his optimism, It should be here noted that tate work in this District is under the supervision of District Commissioner G. R. de P. Vontom, He has been very largely responsible for the forward. move, and is admirably silpperted by various leaders, to whom credit is also due. The Troop at Sturgeon Palls hasits own club rooms. Mese have been fit- ted and completed by the boys entire- ly. It has involved weeks and hours of hard work, blit is now one of the finest in ,existence.' It Is to be officially dedicated and opened for Scout opera- tions on May 22nd. At Coniston a fine group of Cubs and Scouts gathered • for a meeting. Un- fortunately the Scoutmaster, Rev, J. D. New, was too ill to be present, and it is doubtful if he can continue his lead- ership for this reason. ` The Nickelites will see to it that the work does not suffer. The new Troop in Sudbury, in the care of Scoutmaster Fred Cressey, is' making astounding progress. Both Troops are well officered and making things hum, Espanola once again demonstrated itself as a real live centre ,of Scouting activities, Ali°'•afternoon- was spent outdoors in Scout games, while other groups 1,000 yards apart did good work in worse signalling. The Cubs, intent on not being left out, arranged an evening meetingindoors.. One has yet to meet a mare lively Pack with their two eyes very much. open. A splendid meeting was called In Creighton Mine, embracing boys and adults who, under the <chairmanship of the mine superintendent, listened in- tentively to an explanation of Scout- ing. It was an audience tihat very bad- ly needed to `Know that the only fight- ing we teach • the boys is that which has to do with their own evil desires and impulses. Good seed was sown, and the young Troop will undoubtedly Make fine headway under the direc- tion of Scoutmaster Pascoe. Space will not permit references to each place visited, but even at risk of transgressing we must mention the Soo and North Bay, At the Soo Scout- masters Wagnerared Noble have done wonders. As a result of their work Scouting has noiv a great" opportunity to develop, and 'there are sound's in the air of important events in the mak ing. The final gathering in connection with the tour was at North Bay, when the respective Troops, with Cubs, met together.' Anyone can imagine the electrical• disturbance likely to be created when 120 boys join in fun, games, and instruction. It was great! And the "disturbance" only terminated after singing the National Anthem as only Scouts and Cubs can, the first three lines as a prayer with the re- maining lines in d"-viore vigorous way. The impressions madeon one as a result of meeting these various live' groups is that Scouting is doing the job it set out to do creating and building up sensible, manly, Canadian Christiana. How' London. Grew Up. The first London was a village of mud huts. To this succeeded a little town made mostly of bricks burned out of- Essex clay pits. Modern Lon- don, however, is made Iargely of stone• brought from all parts of England. The great Wren was one of the first architects •to bring stone from a dis- tance. St. Pauls Cathedral is built en- tirely ntirely with stone from the quarries of Portland, and every block was weath- ered for at least a year. Combe Down, near Bath, supplied much of the stone used at Westmin- ster, but when the Abbey was restored in 1810 the stone was .brought from Painswick in Gloucestershlre, This stone, beautiful in itself, cannot with- stand London's sulphur laden rain, and to -day is in a state of decay. • When Buckingham Palace was' re- fronted in 1918 the material used was white Portland stone, and 'that splen- did new office of the Port of London which stands on Tower Hill, and which cost two million pounds to build, is also of Portland stone. Thirty thousand tons of Portland stone, or about half of a full year's output from these wonderful quarries, went to the bending of the new War Office, and most of the new buildings in Kingsway are of similar material. , Granite from Dartmoor figures• large- ly in the eonstru,ct£on of London's bridges. The builders got their stone from the quarries, under flay Tor, on the eastern edge of the moor, , and more recently much splendid: granite has cone to London from the quarries at'lonely M rivals half -Way y between ween Tavistock and Prfncetown.

But the fact is, that life for the Green- lander is a terribly anxious business and :is prematurely= shortened by. the, endless battle for existence against the. elemental .forces.., There is no land of perpetual ease for a loafer, . Therule is that human beings must work for a living, and the interlude of rest is sweetened by the toil that went before it and earned it. -Moreover, in. that time of respite there are few who, are content to do nothing at all; the inanition would make most real men miserable. What they want is a change of occupation. They are kept young and eager by exercise up- on the hobby to which they turn. In"eaeh day, as -3n rhe year at large, there should be interludes. We should interrupt and alternate the strenuous hours with moments of aspiration and reflection,• If, as the homely saying has it, the nose is kept to the 'grind- stone all the time, the Whole being pays for it with a lost edge, a ruined temper. The conquest of the world is not sufficient recompense for the loss of on'e's own soul;; the business day,. crowded and valuable as it is, cannot afford to leave human nature out of its reckonings and banish the sun from its overhead as a superfluous charge. :WHEN BABY IS ILL When the baby is ill; when he cries a great deal and no amount of atten- tion or petting' . makes him happy, Baby's Own•..

Then the first pleasant day you start out so gay; For a time you go straight as a bolt— Ab! but right in the middle of some sloppy puddle You stop with a 3ar and a jolt! You may step on the juice, but it's not any use, - So your pliers and wrenches you take; If it isn't the tires, why then it's the wires, If it isn't the wires, it's the brake. There you tinker and fuss and you cuss the old bus, And you hope a garage isn't,far— If you want all your trouble to cer- tainly double Just purchase a secondhand car! C. Ballard. Too Much Silence. Along the Irish coast are lighthouses which fire a Signal gun at three-minute intervals during foggy weather.

In North Greenland, which is situ- ated within twelve miles of the North Pole, there are practically no laws, and there are certainly none with re- gard to property, for all that that men possess• are their hunting -knives, while the women have only their household utensils. The stone houses in which the na- tives live belong to nobody in particu- lar. If an Eskimo family find an empty one they simply move into it and it be- comes theirs until they vacate it. Polygamy is permitted and '"mar- riages". are arranged entirely by par- ents. When a couple tire of each other they simply take other mates. There is nothing that corresponds to "court- ship," In such circumstances it seems strange that the Eskimos are among the most devoted parents in the world. If a separation occurs, the children al ways go with the mother.

Relative Heating Values of Various Types of Fuels. The Dominion Fuel Board and the Fuel Testing Division ' of the Mines Branch, Department of Mines, are mak- ing a series of tests upon various types of fuels with a view to deter- mining their relative values when burned in standard types of hot water house -heating furnaces as used in On- tario and Quebec. These tests, which are still in pro- gress, are being made upon the various types of anthracite, American, Welsh and Scotch; various types of coke, gas coke and metallurgical coke, coke made in by-product coke ovens, some high grade, low volatile bituminous or semi -bituminous -coals, and a repre- sentative series of Alberta coals. The results of tests to date have shown that the British anthracites, the cokes and certain of the high grade low volatile bituminous coals, appear to have a higher heating value than the average American anthracite sold at Ottawa, that is, it requires a small- er quantity of these fuels than it does of American anthracite ha to deliver- a unit quantity of heat. It requires from one ton to three-quarters 01 a ton of these coals to deliver the same quantity of heat as one ton of the aver- age American anthracite sold in Ot- tawa. On the other hand, practically all of the Alberta coals tested, with the ex- ception above noted, deliver a smaller quantity of heat per unit weight of coal, or, in other words, a larger quan- tity of these ,fuels than of American anthracite is required to deliver a unit quantity of heat. It requires from lea tons to as high as 11, tons of these coals to deliver the same quantity of heat -as one ton of average American anthracite de- livered at Ottawa. Other factors, such as the relative frequency of firing required, also enter into the problem of determining the relative values of these various fuels.
