Curtiss Seagull It's 1924, and natives along the Amazon River Valley are puzzled by a strange noise overhead. Looking skyward, they quickly realize it's a bird like no other they've ever seen before. For cruising over the rain forest is a Curtiss Seagull, and WS the first air - National Museums Musees nationaux of Canada du Canada craft to penetrate the interior of Brazil. The Seagull's mahogany hull is painted bright silver, and its wings are adorned with the flags of the United States and Brazil. - Through 1924 and into 1925, three American explorers fly their reliable Seagull along the lush, forbidding Amazon. Their exploits are described in the National Geographic Magazine of April 1926.

Canada MO.I\AEXTS IN •xTiu Ontario's Bicentennial will be a year for exploring and enjoying the province's artistic heritage as gal- leries, ' museums,perfor- mers and craftsmen stage some memorable exhibits and events. Ontarians everywhere can get in on . the action as many of these shows tour the province throughout the year. Under the patronage of Her Majesty, the Queen, the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto launches its salute to Bicentennial with "Georgian Canada: Conflict �Dd Culture" • June .7 to October 21. 250 objects have been culled from 50 U.S., Canadian and British collections to create a fine arts panorama. Military maps, paintings and docu- ments recall the turbulent events during the period of 1745 to 1820, while exqui site porks of glass, silver and ceramic show the pomp and elegance of the era. While this major exhibit will draw visitors to Toronto, ROM as it is more popular- ly known, goes on the road with two travelling exhibits. Battle lines are drawn in The War of 1812, a collec- tion of reproductionprints and maps prepared by ama- teur and •military artists in the field. Look for it in Belleville Feb. 15 to Mar. 30. "Heirlooms: Echoes of Ontario's Past" is another travelling collection rea- turing the treasures of On- tario's 'early , settlers. Ger- Intmdudng the people- oriented Pcnt2xProiPlus.

The Art Gallery of On- tario is mounting its largest show ever to celebrate On- tario's Bicentennial. "From the Four Quarters: A His- tory of Native and European Art in Ontario" from 5,000 BC to 1867 AD is an assem- blage of 400 items gathered Europe and North America, irTcruding`paintings of lead- ing • natives by William Berczy and Paul Kane, as well. as. ornate objects crafted of bone, shelf and sinew.This spectacular show goes on view at the AGO March 30 to May 20. .Contemporary native art is presented in the AGO's touring exhibit, "Norval Morrisseau and the Emer- gence of the, Image Makers". The show takes a new approach to native art by presenting it in the context of art history in- stead of anthropology. After a spring showing in Toronto, the exhibit moves, on to Thunder Bay, Chatham, Sault Ste., Marie and Sudbury. Native art is also the focus of the McMichael --- Gallery's Bicentennial, show in Kleinbilrg. Jasper Grant was . an Irishman serving as an Indian agent for the British army during the early 19th century, a turbulent time when the British sought native allies in the area we now know as Windsor. He collected native household items and articles of clothing elabor- ately embroidered with porcupine quills made by the Woodland Indians. These 45 well preserved artifacts are returned to Ontario for their first North American exhibit • in October. More information about exciting Bicentennial events ,will follow in this column. An efficient system for seeding flats By Patrick Denton Indoor seeding is a pre - spring activity which will be occupying the time of many backyard gardeners during the coming weeks. We all de- velop our own systems through the years and,today I'd like to tell you about mine. First, because I do my seeding at the kitchensink, I like to have the equipment organized so it cats= be brought out of a nearby cup- board each evening, used, and quickly put away. This equipment includes the containers to be used for planting; two large buckets with tight lids, a hand - mister, labels, a waterproof felt pen, a small watering can and a container of solu- • tion made from powdered or liquid seaweed. use this same solution, mixed at label rates, to pre - dampen the potting mix in the containers prior to plac- ing the seeds on its surface. Here's how I would go about seeding a large flat with, let's say, several dif- ferent varieties of lettuce. First, at the bottom of the flat goes a layer of the. dampened peat. It has been well mixed and thoroughly dampened with the seaweed solution, and I squeeze it well before layering it in the flat. Next, the flat is filled not quite to the top with the planting mixture which is gently tamped down but not packed solid. The planting mixture is then lightly but evenly dampened, again with the liquid seaweed. Before seeding, the rows can be. marked by making Crossrttads--"March 7, t984—Page 7 ly covered With more potting • to a depth of about twee the Width of the seed. This eovering.ts then gently. firmed down. At this point, I sprayinist the surface to Omen it, again with the seaweed solu- tioeh kefore covering the flat with a sheet of plastic; or placing it inside a plastic kgs I never pour- water onto a newly seeded flat, or directly on to seedlings. When the rows are up, they can be watered with a single stream of lukewarm water directed between the rows and around the edges of the container. Seedlings sown in pots placed on damp peat in .shallow waterproof con- tainers can be watered from below just by moistening the peat. As in the seeding of differ- ent lettuces in one flat, a large flat could also be a 1 a•ith rowssof different GREAI stay in the same flat until they are transplanted out- doors, I give them a bit of elbowroom by spacing the rows between three and four inches apart. Later, the in- dividual rows are thinned to give me a few plants of each kind of lettuce for trans- planting. Next comes the actual seeding. onto the planting mix. I've never found the tapping -the -open -packet - over -the -row method of in- door seeding very satisfac- tory. I find better control over the seed flow when I gather pinchfuls of seed from my left palm with the thumb and forefinger of my right hand together. - As each row is seeded, it's important to` label it. On the label goes the variety name, seed company and seeding an date. Inter, .the trans tent- ing date outdoors is added. Once the seeding of the flat is complete, the seed is tight- et-is-tared-fear-the--light-.depressions withy straight edge such as a pen- cil or a ruler.

Back a Fighter • jh,' National Museums Musees nationaux of Canada du Canada Canada sw'-zIrG Springtime finds Ursa Major (the Great Bear) high in the northeast at maptime (9:30 p.m. around the mid- dle of March, an hour later at the beginning of the month, an hour ear- lier at the end). When the Big Dipper (the brightest stars In Ursa Major) is higJi in the sky it is convenient to use It to locate stars and constellations in the north In much the same way that Orion is used to Locate stars in the southem half of the sky. Most impor- tant, mportant, It is a convenient guide to find Polaris and, consequently, the direc- tion North. Face north, and tum the map so "northem horizon" Is at the bottom. Note how an extension of the curve of the handle of the Dipper leads first to golden -yellow Arcturus (in the con- stellation Boates) and eventually to beautiful pure white Spica (in Virgo). Note as well how Ursa Major and Cassiopeia lie on opposite sides of Polaris, and about the same distance from It. Regulus, said to mark tie heart of Leo (the Lion), Iles about 45° beyond the bottom o1 the Dipper. (For easy reference the distance across the knuckles of the fist held at arm's .length Is about 10°.) A large triangle formed by Polaris, the bowl of the Dipper and Capella (in Auriga) may also help to orient the beginner. An. other somewhat smaller triangle for- med by Sirius. Procyon and Betel- s geuse can be found In the southwest. MARCH CASSIOPEIA E Epsilon S Ruchbah y' -Gamma • Scheder p caph 01 all the northem circumpolar con- •stellatlons, Cassiopeia runs a close second to Ursa Major in popularity. Easily recognized, It is a large sprawl- ing M or W-shaped forrhation, de- pending on its orientation to the horizon. Cassiopeia and Ursa Major lie bn opposite sides of Polaris and about the same distance from It. On a spring evening when Ursa Major Is high In the northeast, Cassiopeia is nearing the nofihwestem horizon. Enjoy it soon, for when it reaches its summer position, it Is low in the north and may be hidden by trees or buildings, Cassiopeia means "The Lady in the Chair". The constellation Is ancient, dating back to about 3500 B.C. In Creek mythology, Cassopeia, wife of Cepheus, King of Ethlopela, and • mother of Andromeda, was chained to a chair and transported to the sky to punish her for excessive conceit and vanity. d h (Universal lime) 2 19 New Moon 10 18 First Quarter Moon 17 10 Full Moon 20 10 Vernal equinox: spring begins 20 18 Saturn 0°6 N. of Moon 21 ,13 Mars 0°4 N. of Moon 24 08 Last Quarter Moon 24 21 Jupiter 3° N. of Moon 30 12 Venus 4° N. of Moon PLANETS: Mars and Saturn are In Libra and rise well before midnight.
