Three Interesting Guides.
The Dominion Parks Branch bete re-
cently issued three publications whicb
are noteworthy on account of the at-
tractive form in which they are print-
ed and the interesting matter they
contain. They are "Classified Gide
to fish and Their Habitat, Rooky
Mountains Park;" "The Nakimu Ca -
vee" and "Glaciers of the Rockies and
Selkirke."
The Fish Guide is written for the
eportsmen and naturalist rather than
the scientist, It is a compilation of
of first-hand information for anglers
by one who has fished in all the prin-
cipal water e of the Park. It takes up
each locality, describes the best means
of reaching it, the different varieties
of fish wlaich can ba secured, and the
best bait to use, The game fish of tire
Rockies include five species of trout,
one of which -the Lake Minuewanka
trout -has been known to run ere high
as 40 lbs. The Grayling, the Dolly
Varden and the Cut Throat trout are
found in many of the lakes,and streams
nf the Fark and a fide hatchery has e-
eently been established ab Banff for the
purpose of re -stocking those which
have become depleted.
The eecond pamphlet gives an inter-
esting account of this formation, cher-
actor and discovery of the famoue Na
kirau Caves near Glacier, B. C. Thee°
interesting natural curiosities are sup-
posed to be about 40,000 years old and
e,onsiet of a, series of andergroued
chambers, some of them fifty feet high
and more than two hundred feet long.
hollowed out, partly by erasion and
partly by volcanic action, and opening
into eaeh other at different levels. The
walls of the caves are covered with
grange florescent limestone fornn
ations and they reverberate to the roar
of underground torrents. The differ-
ent chambers have been given names
euggestive of their charaeters : "The
Pit; "The Marble Way;" "The Ball-
room;" "The Art Gallery;" "The Judg-
ment Hall; "The White Grotto;" "The
Bridal Chamber.," etc., and when they
are lit with electricity and proper
guards and handrails have been plac-
ed on the stairs andplatforms, they
should be among the most interesting
sights in the Rockies for tourists.
"Glaciers of the Rockies and Sel-
.kirks" is by Dr. A. P. Coleman, Pro-
fessor of Geology in the 'University of
Toronto, and bears ou the dover an at-
tractive reproduction in color of a
eketch of Mt. Ball, one of the picture-
Fque peaks near the Divide. Dr. Cole-
man is a scientist with the imagin.
ation of a poet and he has written the
story of the formation and work of the
Canadian glaciers with all his well-
known literary charm. The pamph-
let shoula prove not only &great help
to the student of glacial phenomena
who visits the Parks, but it should in-
spire many Canadians with a desire to
see the wonderful -mountain scenery of
their own country for themselves, 1 -`to
put on," as Dr. Coleman says, "warm,
etrong clothes and kobnailed shoes and
to fill one's lurege with mountain air in
a scramble up to the snowfields to see
how the glacial machinery works."
The pamphlets may be obtained
upon application to the Dominion
Parke Branch, Ottawa,without charge.

forget that there are others. All the
same there are others, and Russia is
one of them„ Possibly no other
country possesses equal agricultnrsii
resources, and, like our own, they
have drawn on only to a small extent
in comparison witn, their possibili-
ties.
• Russia has long been a great
wheat -producing country, part of her
seerplus of- foodstuffs, going, like oar
own supplies of like goods, to the
markets of Great Britain. An era
of better„ agricultural methods had
set in before the war, and when the
war has ended the eta, will continue.
This war, which for Russia is being
fought to ensure to the Slavonic peo-
ples the place in Europe to which
they are entitled, will tiring about a
great awakening in tne vast empire
of the Czar. Russia is going to se-
cure better ports, agricultural pro-
duction will be stimulated, and her
need of agricultural implements
will steadily increase and be
eiecirem'us for many years. And it is
with respect to that demand that
Canada will have an opportunity of
iecreasing her exports to Russia.
In gormal times oiir exports have
an annual value of almost balf
billion dollars, of which those to
countries not Britisa had a value last
year of alniost two hundred million
dollars, Those to the Russian Em-
pire had a value of $1,430,430, of
which $1,140,430 represened the
value of agricultural implements. Al-
ready Oanadihn trade is on the right
track. Lot it follow it with sag& and
supply to a large extent the needs
of the Russian faemers.
Of the exports of agricultural ha-
plenients to Russia from Canada har-
vesters led, with almost half a mil-
lion dollars; drills were second, with
alment three hundred thousand dol-
lars; mowing machines third, with
one Atindred and twenty-eight thous -
sad; and t' -o remainder of these ex-
ports consisted of cultivators, reap-
ers, ploughs, harrows and so forth ---
the implements in use on every well-
conducted Canadian farm.
Canadian manufacturers can make
these implements as well as they ca.n
he made anywhere; and for many
years Russia will bebuying these
implements iei very largo quantities.
Canadian manufacturor.lready have
a share in this trade, and if they
take full advantage of their oppor-
tunities they should increase their
share enormously. -Montreal Stand-

TRENCHES.,
Preparations Made In Day Time For
Dangerous Night Task.
Sapper W. R. Y. McLeod, a mein-
ber of No. 1 Company, Canadian en-
gineers, gives a graphic description
of the work in which the Canadian
engineers havb been engaged -put-
ting up wire entanglements in front
of the British trenches, while under
fire by the German snipers on moon-
light nights, and other equally Hari'.
ling incidents.
"During the day we prepare, as
far as possible, tbe accessories to be
used in the work at night. It is
then loaded upon wagons and 'haul-
ed to a point 300 yards to the rear
of the firing line, We leave our
billet at 5.30 p.m., and march to this
-point where the wagons are unload-
ed. This march ieimires about
thirte minutes' brisk' vralln• and the
time is generally put in by singing
patriotic airs and Whistling. The
streets are all paved with cobble-
stones, and the click of the march-
ing troop's upon the pavement draws
the populace out of their homes tO
watch us marching to our trenches.
A peculiar thing is that they leek at
us much more pnifulla thea we do
at them. When we have advanced
to a point where the town abruptly
stops, the order rings out in a cleee
voice to 'stop amoking and singing.
We now move on noiselessly to
where the wagons havo. stopped, and
we immediately unload the material,
which` consists 'of barbed wire boards,
2x4 inch scantling, Mills, etc. From
here a road of 300 yards to the
trenches bas been narhed Cetaetery
road. Hardly a night gees by with-
out soracone being shot on it. Bath
man picks up some piece of the stuff
and We all advance single file down
the feed.
"The islet few nights have been
moottlight, and it makes our work
more hazardous than otherwise.
Where we have been working the
trench forms a shape with the apex
towards the Gerritaile, atid Conse-
quently there is a heavy cross fire
behind the British trenched, Last
night we were Mit itt front of the
13ritish trenches putting up wire 'en-
tangletnerits, 'The Germans were
only a hundred yards away.

LONDON GRANTS $15,000
The Weetern University of London,
has another good piece of news to an-
nounce in the increase of its grant by
the City Council of London from $10,-
000 to $15,000 for the comirg year. It
is expected that We, along with the
increased revenue in view from other
sources, will enable the universii ies in
respect to the recognition cf all ite
degrees. There have already been ne-
gctiotione with the Department of
Eitication at Toronto with this pract•
ically assured as the results.
The recent financial progress of tbe
University has been most gratify ing.
The income for the Atte Department,
for the. year 1013-14 was $8800. For
the year 1914.15 jitst closing it will be
about $19,000, will the bacome for 1015-
10 will be nct less than $30,000 for the
Arts Department and about $75,000
for all the departments of the Univer-
sity.
As a result cf this flve more mem-
bers are being added to tbe staff of
the Arts Department, including men
ef recognized prominence and scholar-
ship. A god gymnasium has been
ercured lied a pbysical director is being
appointed who is widely known in
athletic circlee. New laboratoties in
physics and biology are to be inaura
ted this fall which will supplement
those of the other departasents in a
very satisfactory manner.
This magnificent addition to the re-
sources of Western Ontario's uniyer.
sity, which is only the beginning of
still greater things, will provide for
the needs of the many students ef this
whole section of tbe o fir' ce, without
taking them so far frorn home and (re
countering heavier expenses, T etre
are already signs of increasing interest,
in the varioua Callegiate Inetitutes and
High Schools which Will tun a larg s
number of students in Ile next f
years towards the Western, where the
authorities are determined to build up
a university of the highest grade.
