COMPASS DOES NOT
POINT NORTH
The,. magnetic _ compass has been
need for more than 600 yearn and to
day is more widely employed than
ever before; by miners underground,
by explorers, travellers, hunters, trap -
Pere, prospectors, pioneers, 'timber'
cruisers and others overland,lly navi-
gators on the sees; and by airmen
high above the earth. With this small,
delicate, restless instrument they are
stabled to tell direction. Yet contrary
to popular belief the magnetic com-
paee does notpoint due north, but
more or less eastward or westward of
it' at different places. At Halifax it
points twenty-two degrees west' of
north,., at Vancouver twenty-five de-
grew east of north, while at Fort Mo -
Pherson, on the Mackenzie river, with -
1n the Arctic circle, it points forty-four
degrees east of north. Scientists state
that this is because the magnetic poles
of the earth are not situated at the
geographical poles as shown on our.
maps of the world.
Changes From Year to Year.
The problem of the compass is still
further complicated by the fact that it
changes Its direction from year to
year: it marches to the westward for
many years, then turns backward and
marches to the eastward, then re-
verses again and ]larches to the west-'
ward, etc. Moreover, its very contus-
ing behaviour is quite different In dif-
ferent places. Whether this is caused
by a altlfting of t110 magnetic poses,
by clianges within the earth itself, or
by some influence of the sun or planets,.
scientists have not yet been able to
determine.
Surveys Necessary.
In order that the colipase may be
used With reliance, therefore, the 811-
forent countries -of the world carry out
magnetic surveys to measure its exact
direction, and supply the information
to the public in the form of magnetic
n eaps, Owing to the continual shift-

is called, the work accomplished by a
magnetic survey would become obsn

"Owing to a severe storm the surf,

CANADA'S BIG GAME RESOURCES
International Meeting Indicates the Dominion's Fortunate

That Canada WAS one of the most tor- :Motel Railway, west of tb0 'Lake 54,
Lunate countrlee lu regard to her re-
000rces in big game and' all that this
'means for the healtn of the whole
people was brought cut et the recent
meeting In Quebec of the InteruatiOn-
al Association of Game, Fish and Con -
Canadian Wheat and Flour.
The remarkable development of the
demand for flour in the Far Eastern
markets and its satisfaction by the•
shipment of Canadian wheat and flour
through Vancouver, constitutes la the
view of the London Times a grave dan
ger to the British food supply. In an
editorial the Times notes that where-
as In 1922-23 there were exported
through Vancouver alone 770;000
bushels of wheat to China and 2,610,
000 bushels to Japan, in the following
year exports to China had increased
to 6,206,000 bushels and to Japan to
7,058,000 bushels. During the same
period exports of flour had increased
from 99,000 barrels to 302,000 barrels
to Hong Kong, and from 270,000 bar
rels to 604,000 barrels to China. Re
viewing the population figures, the
Times continues:
"It is clear that there is nothing in-
herently improbable in a further ra
pid increase of the demand for wheat
and flour in the Chinese market in the
near future, and it is equally clear
thatsuch a demand must be met from
a surplus production for which these
islands compete. The development
of modern milling in Shanghai and
other ports in china In recent years
has ben amazing, and it costa less to
bring wheat to Shanghai across: the
Pacific than from the northwestern
province of China. This year the late•
nese of the grain crop 1n Western Can-
ada will probably result In the exporta-
tion of a larger portion through Van-
couver than through Montreal by
water. It would not. be 'right to de-
elare the eituatton is alarming, but no
one who look; to the future rather
than at the immediate present, can
fail to recognize that 1fthis country is
compelled to continue to import four-
fifths of its wheat requirements, it is
impossible to viewwithout anxiety the
development of an important competi-
tion for the surplus supplies which
are now available."
Fortune From a Wink.
Jackie Coogan, the infant prodigy of
the film world, was discovered by
Oharlie Chaplin on the platform of a
Pennsylvania railway station.
Chaplin was walking up and down
waiting for a train when he was struck
by th piquant face of the child. As he
looked at him admirably the small boy
suddenly and gravely winked at him.
His intone° gravity and self-possession
decided Charlie Chaplin that Jackle

One of the meet informative papers
was that of Mr, J. A. Bellielle, Super-
intendent of Game and Fisheries for
the province of Quebec, who in the
course of his addreae on "How Quebec
Protects its Game" spoke of the dis-
tribution of game in that province.
While Mr. Beige dealt only with Que-
bec his paper gave an idea of the great
reeouroe Canada has in game is the
forested portions of the different pro.
winces.
Following are extracts taken from
Mr. Bellisle's paper:—
"The Lake Edward country has
long been renowned for the large num-
ber of moose that have been secured
there, So are many other parts of our

According to .Plan-
Althoegh it was rather latein the
year, it was a warm, fine day on the
sands, and the three little bays were
very happy with their spades and.
buckets, each intent on his own par-
ticular
articular piece of work.
They had organized a kind of com-
petition between them. This morning
they agreed that each should build a
model of a motor car. One of them
had piled and patted and cajoled the
sand into a resemblance of a racing
car, another had constructed, with
fair success, a touring car. But the
third little fellow's construction was
without shape or form.
"What sort of a car is yours?" asked
a passer-by, who was taking an in-
terest in the proceedings,
The boy made no reply.
"Yours looks like two or three care
all together," he was told.
"Yes," answered the little chap
loftily, "That's just what it Is. Mine's

Interesting Data on Ottawa
Valley Quake.
Earthquakes are, fortunately, al-
most unknown in Canada. One occurs
from time to time along the St. Law-
rence river below Quebec and oc-
casionally, but more rarely, a tremor
Is felt in British Columbia. In the Ot-
tawa
ttawa valley very slight shoeks hap-
pen every three or four years and
such an earthquake was felt by many
persons in that valley on the evening
of July 14 cast,
The shock was recorded on the seis-
mograph at the Dominion Observatory,
Ottawa, the first preliminary tremors
beginning at ten minutes and nineteen
seconds after seven p.m., eastern stand-
ard time and continuing until seven -
fifteen. As usual in such cases the
Seismologic Division of the Dominion
Observatory sent out questionnaires to
the postmasters in those sections of
the country likely to be axected but
the mas of data received In reply to
the live hundred forms mailed has
not yet been completely worked up.
No damage was done at any point.
The results to date from the ques-
tionnaires indicate that the epicentre
of the quake was: near the Ottawa river
and in that section bordered by the
county of Renfrew, Ontario. They
show that the 'fault line" or line of
weakness, lies along the Ottawa river
and also along the valley ot the Gati-
neau, The noise phenomenon was par-
ticularly marked • and seemed to indi-
cate that the quake moved from south-
west to northeast in many cases.
Snakes as Barometers.
According to an old weather super-
stition rain is foretold by the appear-
ance and activity of snakes.

Kathleen Butler is a typical out-ot•
doors Australian girl, and she will :tela
You gaily that when her work is ovor
she indulges in her favorite "vises"—
surf bathing, dancing; and lawn tennis.
Her career, even in a young coun-
try where names are made more easily
than 1n an older and more settled set-
tled community, has been an amazing
and romantie-one. Ten years ago she
was a clerk in the N.S.W. Public
Works Department, without any tech -
Meal qualifications and with no train-
ing beyond that which a practical Irish
mother had been able to get for her in
the Convent Schools of Sydney, where
her girl was educated. Her father was
a station -master.
When the scheme for Sydney Har-
bour bridge and the big underground
railway station was finally agreed ou
by Parliament, Miss Butler was the
first officer appointed to the depart-
ment created to deal with these two
great engineering projects, She was
appointed on her merits and because
she had mastered all sorts of intricate
technical matters of engineering dun
ing the years she was in the Govern-
ment service.
The Engineer's Praise.
She was ultimately appointed con-
fldential secretary to Mr, J. J. C. Brad-
field, the designer and engineer of the
bridge, and in a thesis which she re-
cently wrote for his degree of Doctor
of Science and Engineering at Sydney
University. where he is a lecturer, Mr.
Bradfield paid her a remarkable tri-
bute,
The technique of the specification,
Mr. Bradfield said, was hers, and it
would be impossible to ffnd a better
arranged or better thought-out speci-
fication.
Mr. Bradfield said that, himeelf ex-
cepted,
xcepted, his confidential secretary
"alone knows of the many Issues in-
volved in tendering for the bridge, Her
conscientious and efficient help has
materially lightened the responsibility
which the design and construction of
these two great engineering works
have entailed, and in this thesis I wish
to place on record my sincere thanks
to the lady for her invaluable assist-
ance,"
Exciting Days.
In addition to the important part she
played in drafting the specification,
Miss Butler also helped in the prepare,
tion of the report on the tenders, an
historical document which she signed
as secretary.
"We were working on that report
six weeks night and day," she said to
an interviewer, "because the tenderers
were all waiting to hear their fate, and
we wanted to let them get back to the
United States, England and Canada
, as soon as possible. I think I know:
that report and the specifications oft
by heart. Whose were exciting days:
I was the only woman present in the
Minister's room when the tenders
were opened."
There Wasn't.
"I want you to clean my window,"
said Mr. Binks to Mlggine, the village
window -cleans, "Do you think you
can do it while I ant away for an hour
or so?"
"Oh, yes, glad to do it!" returned
Miggins.
While Mr. Kinks was away he set to
work with a will.
"Mlggins!" said Mr. Birks, entering
the shop, and glancing at the cleaner'el
work with approval, "You've done the
job well. Why, there isn't a speck or
a scratch to be seen on the whole
pane! Here's your money, and au ex-
tra shilling."
"I'm glad you're satisfied," murmur-
ed Miggina, pocketing the money
somewhat nervously,
"Of course I am. Why, I can scarce-
ly believe there is glass there at all,
it looks so clear!"
"Weil, as a matter of fact, - there

made a point of having four months'
holiday out of the twelve, Could earn
$200,000 a year, Yet he told a friend
that le detested portrait -painting.
"It is killing Werk to an artist who
is sensitive. You have only yourself
to please in other pictures. In por-
traits you have also to please the sit-

Mr. Sargent, who has received as
muoh as $50,000 for a single portrait,
declared some years ago that he would
paint no more portraits, and for a
period clung to this resolve.
"Some sitters get on my nerves 00
