Sir Basil Thomson Disciisses Intern of Usborne met on- May 5th, at the
The annual, greeting of the Women's
Sir Basil Thomson, the man from
Scotland Yard and war -time .Chief
of Intelligence, is a raconteur of the
first water. His experience with
spies during the war was essentially
a, battle of wits, but it equipped him
with an almost uncanny insight into
the psychology of men and women,
proving the assertion of a British in-
telligence officer. who once remarked
at the beginning of the war: "We
shall repeat our experience of the
Napoleonic Wars. We .begin with
the .worst Intelligence Service in
Europe and we send up .with the
best."
In the office at Scotland Yard
where Sir Basil interviewed an aver-
age of four spies a day for the bet-
ter part of three years there is a
little armchair, innocent enough in
appearance, but which, Sir Basil told
his audience, was one of the most
v aluable instruments in the ' detec-
=ion of spies. Men who would per-
sist in a dogged silence when ques-
tioned at once became quite loqua-
cious when comfortably seated. The
chain was rather low, Sir Basil said,
"Once one of its legs was broken,
and, with our penurious British hab-
its, we sale -aged. it for future service
by cutting off the other three legs
to match."
To solve the mystery of the arm-
chair, Sir Basil once seated hiiuself
in it and asked one of his assistants
to interrogate him. "Ask me any-
thing in my past life which might be
damaging," Sir Basil said, '
"I at once felt an irresistible im-
pulse to grip the arms of the chair
and raise myself to the level of the.
t. aestioner's face. The overcoming
at this impulse produced a curious
reaction — the physical relaxation
that follows a mental surrender. Of
all the men seat.d in. the armchair
•very one must have experienced the
t .1;: impulse, with the exception of
.:.i Roser Casement, who refused to
sit down, and leaned against the
table," Sir Basil s..id.
Isis episodic method of telling his
exi:•e: fences is ievariably followed
weal a moral. The armchair Inci-
deut made the Jealous detective re-
mark: "So you see that the arrange-
ments in English law courts are all
wrong. The 1-M.•st possible thing
you cell do if yo.. want to get the
truth out of a witness is to elevate
flim to a higher position than the
ssexeiuining lawyer."
From the most dangerous master
spies to the clumsy attempts, of ama-
teur spies, Si: Basil interviewed
t'1^:n, and, as h" stated, their mem-
:: i i es are oaten associated with trIg-
tr. t In shadow of the Tower and
ties firiee squad were not infre-
inanely the tt':: a. step in the proce-
dure.
rte tells a story of Madame Mata-
eiari, tile famous Dutch dancer, who
wee caught carrying papers from
:alethia to Hollerui and thence to
Germany. "When she saw the troops
lilted up in the square she refused
to iis'ea further to the cure who
aceonrlsanied her on her last jour-
ney*. Sae arranged her hair, straight
ened her ge;rgcous grown, and made
a magnificent stage gesture to the
waiting soidie_s. She said that the
supreme moment of her life had
cane. Here was an audience and
the setting of a real drama, and she
t' e r throwing a kiss to the soldiers,
,.ftef :Savin;; refused to be .blind-
folded."

Playing to the gallery is the great-
est motive of crime, according to Sir.
Basil. It is the same with children;
They play to the gallery of their own
age. . They regard us as Olympians,
who have no interest in them, and
whose instructions often consist in
mere don'ts at the wrong moment.

Bots Caused by Beards.
A hundred years ago there were
only four men in Birmingham who
were courageous enough to wear
beards. This was regarded at that
time as an outrage! It only serves
to show how history repeats itself
even in the matter of whiskers..
These four brave„ "beavers" were
followers of the prophetess Joanna
Southcott. They did it in imitation
of the Apostles, and were actually
jeered at in the streets. -.
G. F. Muntz, The first member to
wear a beard in the House 'of Com-
mons, would have been repeatedly
insulted had he not been a powerful
mean and always .carried a heavy -
cane about withhim, which he was
known to use on provocation.
In 1853 the Rev. Edmund Harken
had the'attaacity to appear in the
pulpit with a beard, the first clergy-
man to do so.
George Dawson was the firson
conformist -preacher to wear 'a mous
tache and beard, and for this his
views were considered "advanced"
by some. .
In those days a clerk or a work --
man. of any kind simply had to
shave, otherwise he was liable • to
dismissal. •
In Germany clean shaving was ,al
most unknown a few years ago, ex-
cept to servants, actors, and priests.

Famous for its ever -fascinating
natural, beauty, Jasper . National
Park has other claims to distinc-
tion. Zt is the largest wild animal
sanctuary in 'the world. It is
. Marvellously rich in plant life, its"
streams, and lakes abound in fish,
and a great variety of birds are
found there. - The grandeur of its
mountains—there are over 100
lofty peaks in its area—the sheen
of its glaciers, the glory of its
woddlands andits valleys, the
flashing -brightaess of its waters,
ail 'combine in allurement of eye
and mind, not found elsewhere in
Canada:
Alt the main animal families, of
this country are-found.in Jasper
National' Park. The list of them
reads like a section of a work on
natural, history. - There' are . the
Big Horn' Mountain Sheep, .Moun-.
taint Goats, Wolves (black and
krey), _coyotes, Foxes, Mule Deer,
Moose, -,Ca"ribou, Bik,' Lynx, Cou-
garse- or as many call theta
Mountain Lions,---8eaver, Mar-
mots, Musk -Rats, Squirrels, Rab-,
bids, Porcup nes, Weasels, Er-
mines, Mink , Martens, Fishers,
Otters, and Grizzly. Black and
'Cinnamon.' Bears:
Some of these have grown ac-
customed to mankind and accept
its presence without fear. ` Hence
black and brown, or cinnamon
bears, do not 'hesitate to come
near the lodge and the camps in
search of . dainties which add to
the variety of the diet nature pro-
vides for them', • Deer, Elk, Beaver,;
Rabbits and Porcupines; are also
frequent visitors to points where,
they are .readily observable, or
are permanent resident's in places
easily reached by those who do
not care about hunting, but are
yet interested in animal life.
With alt'this prodigality of wild
animal life, it is assuring to know
that no posonous- snakes or rep-
tiles have -ever been found within
Jasper Park; and •that the greater
part of the area is almost entirely
free from mosquitos and: insect
pests.
The: bird life of Jasper National
Park -is another "attraction that
every visitor appreciates: No less
than 'seventy different species of -
birds
fbirds.have so far been recognised.
Outside of the Park, .confines.
there is plentyor hunting for
those to whom the chase is as the
wine of life. There are inane
trails to the areas: where big ga
abounds, and the hunter's w e
scorn "easy; killing" may have all'

highest (11,033 feet) its numer-
