Unsolved Secrets,. Secret chambers can be more secret then we moderns are ever willing to believe: to this day the library of Ivan the Terrible has never been recovered, though everyone knows that it 'lies somevrhere beneath the Kremlin in Moscow; and the secrets of the Ins- sapoys defied the best efforts of the Soviets. The Academy of Sciences was ealled on and failed. All the plans of the castle had disappeared. The old family servants knew mysterious- ly little. The seekers dia succeed in finding entrance to the piastre gallery, where th-ey found a rare eallection of paint- ings oomplete except for two Rem- brandts which a faithful servant had smuggled abroad after the family had fled, and wlach later lel to legal. pro- oeedings, in the United States. So rich was this collection that, when the pic- turee were hung close •together and the whole third stary was _devoted to them, there were still five hundred for which no place could be found'. The discovery was anade in a rather odd way. Prince Yussupoy had not entrusted the work to a Petersburg architect, but laad brought a builder from a country estate, who came ac- companied by his twelve -year-old sdn as helper.

Two heavy iroa doubleeloors were found which hafd been eoupealed with tiles. Belaind these were two other Tooms orowdei with.eheives and cupboards.

The adminestrator in •charge of the castle, -who had known about the sec- ret all tb.e time, was given a zevere cross-examination,.. and revealed the existence of stwo otheee secret diem - hers. Oue was in the cellar with con- crete walls and ceiling and was eott- !seated with the billiard room by a eeoret stairway and trapdoor. The trapdoor was covered with a double door and armor plate and with linol- eum under the billiard table. Here wa* discovered a collection of porce- lain of great ageistic value, which was likewise given to tbe Hermitage Vats- eum. The next secret room turned out to be a steel 'clamber behind a bookcase. In order to reach it, all the beaks had to be taken off the shelves. Then for the first time a steet door appea.red, behind which was a great collection of rare old gold wasches and tobacco poaches satdded with jewels. Now two attendants offered to point out other secret stores for twenty-five hundred rubles apiece. Here were found twenty-five neck laoes containing sixty-three big emer- alds and eighty-seven big diamonds; pearls, sapphires, and rubies; a neck- laca with eighteen emeralds, and an- other with fifty-three big diartioncle. Then eame two hundred and fifty-five ;brooches in gold and platinum, in ad- dition to emeralds, pearls, diamonds, , and rubies, thirteen diadems, forty-two 'bracelet*, and nineteen gold ch.aine.

North of oid Quebec, but now in - eluded within the area of thatvpro- vines, is the district of Ungava, a territory comprising over -350,000 ._ square miles, more than one-half of the land area of the province. The surface of this portion of Quebec -is rough anct-Irocky in places. The high- est portion is along the eastern part, . 'here hilis rise to a -height of 6,000 feet. In the interior elevations are over 2,000 feet whge along the Hud- son Tay coast the surface is only a few hundred feet above see level, . ,Large rivers flow north and. west, and 'the- interior' abounds with lakes,. vary- ing in size from 500 aquare miles to ,50. In the connecting streams the • descent is usually abrupt, and a large - ainount of water power could un- • doubtedly be developed, as the flovi is fairly Uniform. 1'4:meets are continuous over the - southern portion of Ungava with the • exception of the summits of br..ls and the outer islands of the Atlantic coast. Forest fires, hoavever, have created such tremendous havoc among the timber that it is impossible to ratite any accurate estimate of the quantity remaining. Little prospect- ing has been done in new& Quebec and the Mineral resouree.s are prac- tically unknol,vn. Iron ore appears to be commonest. and is distributed over large areas along the eastern part.
