Origin of Picturesque Name of Qu'Appelle. „One of the -most picturesque 'geo- graphic names is Qu'Appelle, the ap- pellation of the river. which flows in an easterly, direction through Saskatche- wan 'some 'Mies north of the cities of Moose Jaw and Regina to join the As• siniboine river in 'Manitoba, "The name was originally qui appelle, or river that calls, and like most French names in Western Canada dates back to the days when the•Frencli-speaking explorers, and fur traders fi,om what is now Eastern Canada pene.trated into the heart of the West. The,,first mention of the name is in the diary of John McDonnell, of the Northwest Company. It was one of the duties of a fur trader to keep a Journal of each day's doings. Under date 11 October, 1793, McDonnell has -the following: "Arrived at the fort of the River qui Appelle, called' by Mr. Robert Grant, when he built it, Fort Esperance." Grant built the post re- ferred to about 1785 and possibly the river name came into use about that time. • Daniel Harmon, .also of the North- west Company,- whose "Journal of Voyages -and Travels in the Interior of North, America" was published in 1820, Visited the river' ,in 1804. He 'states that, the ne,mu is a translation of the Indian name, Ca-teiniy... A More phonetic spelling is Katepeee, a name gstill borne by a lake on the'rivenfilar- mon states ,that the river "is so named by the superstitious natives' who im- agine that a spirit is consantly going - ne,Send-down it,' alic.1 they say that they often hear lee' voice distinctly, vehicles, resembles the cry, of. a human being." A modern explanation o,f the Jeanie is more materialistic and attributea it to the 'remarkable, echo in the Slyer val- ley when the ice berste in the winter. Information about the meaning ofthis name, as about 'other Canadian place- names, is sunimarised 'hi the 18th re - ort of the dedgraphic Board ,of Cana - Ala which had just beem.PubliShed.

Such was the princ4a established recently, by Chief Justice Sir Francois Lemieux, in the Super- ior Court Quebec, in dismisaing with costs two actions for $500 each, en- tered by two lumberjacks named Per- ron and Gendron against the corpora- tion that employed them, for payment of wages during the period they had suffered from typhoid. It was also added by the Court that it had not been proved theft the is - ease ha i ben contracted at the lum- ber camp of the company, as stated, but even if proved, the aniard,could not be made. Industrial Health Supervision car- ried' on among the mines, lumber com- panies arscl large construction projects in Northern Ontario; has -been a re- markable success. Every lumber camp, ,rnine and little saw -mill has a quail - fled physician as its sanitary super- visor, who also cares for the men medically. These doctors render `splendid service in protecting the workeis' health. Each year sees a further reduction in the number of ,communicable diseases reported. In- deed most of the common infectious fevers so very prevalent ten years ago, have almost vanished. Such a I record speaks very creditably for the effectiveness of the service.

No other volcano has eVer equaled Manna Loa, in Hanelulu, in the Volume of lava it has discharged in its princl- pl eruptions, nor is any other so dreaded, for in its stream flow death an destruction. The mountain has, however, the true instinct of chivalry, and invariably gives warning' to the hundred's of sugar and coffee planter's about its base whenitsintentions are hostile. This warning is conveyed by the bluish steam that arises from its crater, which is always followed -by a flood of red hot lava. Mauna Loa is giving this warning now. At the time of its great eruption in 1800, the lava burst from the sides ,of the mountain as well as from its crater and flowed like a great river for nine months, varying in width from three miles to a few 'hundred yards. It ran a distance of fifty miles. Final- ly' it reached the outskirts of the town of Hilo, whose 'inhabitants were calm- ly awaiting their doom. It was then that the young princess of the reigning house of Honolulu de- termined to test the efficacy of the well-known legend of the mountain. The legend was that if a young and beautiful princess should array her- self as a bride and surround herself with attendants that Would form a pro- cession and climb the mountain with her, she could 'then, by approaching the crater and throwing in a 'sacred white pig, appease the wrath Of the mountin and cause it to be quiescent. This was, in fact, no simple task, for beside the physical, endurance, it was necessary to dodge the boiling lava on the mountain side.: The white pig also grew heavy and restless in the arms of the eiincess. He 'chafed un- der the garlands of owere with which -he was deenrated. • Three times on this • strange expedition the pig es- caped, but etas caught again by the at- teudnts of the princess. After much labor,she recited the crater, and with a supreme effort of strength and cour- age, caet the squealing pig into the awful depth below. The dee Ceti t was made slowly, all chanting p1 -aide to the mountain. Mauna Loa appreciated the sacrifice able princess and was generous. Many Eurepolin visitors, as well ad the na- tives, still tell, how that evening the flow [of lava became sluggish and ceased to move. 1-1Uo wag saved., In 1888-92 the inountaiiiWee slightly active, but - No Chance At All Pte'reJetie denaP, entIffs F3ENEFIT EASY TP,Pcxs • 4 -ani sse.

In this ease ahotber spectator, who does not know which card was seleetedn names it.

In this case, it ,i the: eight of clubs.

"Then the card must be an even club, the odd clubs having been eliminated. There are even clubs higher than five and lower than five. Name either.? "Lower," "Pine, that leaves us the even clubs higher than five. The even clubs are six, eight and ten. We may divide these into a lower group composed of six and eight and an upper, composed, of ten. Name the upper or lower." "Upper." "Fine, that leaves the lower. Name either six or eight." If eight is named, the trick is completed. If six is named,' the ,trickster calmly eliminates six, leaving eight—and the stunt is completed. (Clip this out and paste it, 'with other of the series,- in 'a scrapbook.)

Around the world in 133 days! To visit, countries famed in song and story, countries wheee history' reaches back to th,e very beginning of time, lands of strange peoples and unaccus- tomed sights, suchie the pleasure in store for passengers on the Red Star Liner Belg-euland sailing from New York on December ernext. The first stop on this voyage of en- ohantment is at beautiful Havana, then on through the Panama Canal, along the colorful Californian coast to Hawaii, .gem of thei Pacific. Ten days of the balmy sunshine and smooth seas which characterize the Pacific, in. the winter season, bring's, the Belgen- land to the mystic Orient. The Land of the Rising Sun offers many curious scenes for ;the Canadian, while Hong Kong is of speciel interest as an out- post of the British Empire. Shanghai and Singapore, the West Indies, Cal- cutta, Bombay and Ceylon, what vis- ions of tropical grandeur' these names suggest! A trip up the Nile, a view of Luxor, Cairo and Alexandria is fol- lowed by a visit to the Holy Land. Mediterranean cities next claim the at- tention of the traveller, who may con- tinue his tour to include Switzerland, France and the British Isles. Happiest of choices for this long Jour- ney is the Belgenland., of 27,200 tons register, 69'7 feet long and 78 feet broad. She has turbine engines, triple screws, and oil -burning boilers—the latter an important feature on a long voyage, as the use of oil fuel 'elimin- ates the soot, dust and cinders in- separable from the use of coal. She is the largest liner ever sent around the world. Equipped with all conveni- ences, powerful and steady, with gen- erous breadth of decks and luxuelously fitted rooms, with two gymnasiums and a swimming pool, the Belgeialand provides her passengers with every comfort at sea.
