Clt"i' GROWING RARE.
IN BARREN LANDS -
Slaughter Reserved to Indians
and Eskimos Since ' 1 917 is '_ P
Now;Ba.m- ed.
Half a century ago large herds of
musk-ox roamed in Canada's northern
teriltoriesv, Even as late .as twenty-
five years ago good-sized herds were to
be found in many localities in the Bar-
ren lands which extend from Qi•eat
Sla'eLake to Hudson Bay and from
timber line to the Arctic, Ocean. In
the last few \'years, notwithstanding
protective' measures, the animals have
become much reduced in number and
in :several localities Have disappeared
altogether writes "Natural Re-
sources," '
The Dominion government; through
its" Department df the Interior, keep-
ing in mind' the 'successful effort to
save the buffalo, has steadily striven
to give the musk-ox such protection
that it might remain a permanent as-
set of the country. It is far ashore than
an<intereSting 'zoological specimen; it
possesses dualities whiciii may,make it
of great social and economic value to
the Dominion.
More Stringent Laws.
For a good many years the'
Depart-
meat of the Interior has been steadily
strengthening the. laws and regula-
tions to protect wild animals,
In 1917 the Northwest game act was
passed, and by one of its clauses no.
persons except Indians, Eskimos,., and
half-breeds were allowed to kill the
musk-ox, and killing by those "people
was permitted only when they were in
actual need of food. No person was
permitted` to trade in the pelt dor any
other part of the musk-ox. In 1919 there
was appointed a royal commission on
the reindeer and musk-ox to investi-
gate the poseibilities of establishing
musk-ox and reindeer industries in the
arctic and sub -arctic regions. The
commission gathered ' much valuable
information, some of which has been
embodied in regulations.
The commissioner' of the northwest.
territories, as :empowered by the 1923
amendments to the
game act, issued,
not long,
ago, g a regulation prohibiting.
the use of dogs in the hunting and
,
tak-
ing of game 2nuuals"inthe northwest
territories.
Theiasis '
s g Cance of this
regulation will be more' readily seen
by those conversant
Y 9 withthe habifs of
the musk-ox, It is a primal instinct
of the animal to fee from man, but:-tq
stand and form a circle when attacked
by wolves or dogs. Native hunters
have taken advantage of this fact to
send on their dogs first, and since they
have -acquired modern r firea.rms they
have been able to kill the musk-ox in
much greater numbers.
Closed Season Year Round.
Reports of the continued.wanton and
unnecessary "slaughter of the musk-ox
by natives, rumors of which were cor-
roborated by missionaries, and others,
necessitated the '.paseing of an order
in council Decently prohibiting any
per•son ,from hunting or killing .musk
ox at anytime, The, order also pro-
hibits any person' from trafficking in
theanimals.
To ascertain whether a special musk-
ox patrol wouldbe advisable to reach
districts not now covered by the' Royal
Canadian Mounted -Police, a,special in-
vestigator has been 'appointed. '- This
oMeer, wife speaks the language of
the natives, will, while 'pursuing his
investigations, disseminate propagan-
da
ropaganda on the necessity for the conserve -
tion, of the musk-ox and other wild
creatures.

This is a elmplified'fornm of. the
famous three carts zrionte trick.
The pack is divided Into three
heaps, each being placed faced
down on the table, On one of these
heaps the, perforincr , places the Ace
of Hearts, facedown. He then
moves the heaps around, insisting
that no matter how ',carefully the.
spectators watch, they will lose
track of the pack which has the,
Ace onthe top. After he has
moved the packs around sufficient-
ly, he asks a spectator to indicate
which pack has the Ace on the top,
The spectator makes his choice.
The performer lifts the top, card.
It is not the Ace! •
In this trick the magician's
standby :is used in a somewhat un
usual manner. The card displayed
as the Ace has behind it another •
card. If the two cards are slightly
bent and are held with the thumb
at one side and the fingers at the
'other, no one will suspect that`' the
Ace is anything but' what it seems
to be. However, when the Ace is
' seemingly on too„ of the pack, there
is another card do top of it -and
the remainder of the trick becomes
a very simple matter.

In. Praise of Candles.
"Dark, these times, is blinding bright,"
Old godmother nodding says,
"But earth grew wise by candlelight."
Candle, candle burning clear
On the nursery window sill,
Not, a goblin dared come near.
Candles on a frosty cake
Gleaming, gleaming,: tipped with gold,
Seven for one little sake.
Candles, glancing up the stair,
Flicker, flicker every flight;
Haloes on the children's hair.''
Candle shining starry bright
Through the casement on the dusk
"Hearts came home by candlelight."
Candle flame on every floor
Blessing hinted, hall and hearth
When the bride came in the door.
Candles mellowing ancient pages
Slowly turned, old song and story
Of the half-forgotten ages.
Candles comfdrting the gloom
When the last dim Shadow,fell,
Bind' as angels in the roam.
"Ay,"" godmother nods, "the night
Flashes like a jewel now—
But
life was sweet by candlelight."
