Making Canada's Inventory.
Much is heard of Canada's natural
resources—her minerals, water powers
forests, fisheries rind lands, and we
have learned to value them highly,
says the Natural Resources Intelli-
gence Service. They mean everything
to this young country.
Very few, however, appreciate the
difficulties, the hardships, and, many
times, the privations under which the
pioneers in discoveries, labor In mak-
ing known our wealth In natural re-
soureea.
The Interior Department has just
sent an expedition to the northern is-
lands of the Arctic. The vessel car
cies a number of scientists, who will
report on the resources of that coun-
try. Another party is being sent along
the northern limits of the mainland,
from the Mackenzie to Hudson Bay,
exploring the territory wherein it is
already generally known valuablle re-
sources in minerals exist. These men
will spend the winter in the North.
Even In more southerly latitudes
Canada has areas in which the work
is not easy. In the mountains of Bri-
tish Columbia geologists are making
surveys that may mean untold mil-
lions In mineral wealth to Canada but
they are doing so sometimes at great
risk and often under difficult condi-
tions. A recent report from one of;
the parties states that the work had
been delayed until late in the season 1
by bad weather, including belated;
snowstorms. In order to overcome the
lost time the party was now working
Brom 4,80 In the morning till 8 o'clock
in the evening, and Sundays have been
entirely removed from the calendar.
Jo 1923 a geological party in north-'
western Quebec lost two members of :
Its party by drowning. There are no
bridges in the wilds, and Turbulent;
streams frequently have to be crossed'
or navigated often at great risk.
This spring, at a watering station
on a river on which much potential

The records of many cases arel
buried in the official government re -1

public of the work being done by the '
Civil Servants of Canada on the Iron -
tiers of clvilizatlon and beyond. The
inventory of our natural resources
I goes on, however, and it is only when
1 the death of a field man on duty is re-
ported that any public attention is
given to the work these pioneers are

Natural Resources Bulletin.
The Nature: Resources Intelligence
Service of the Dept. of the Interior at
Ottawa says:
The fruit season is now upon us,
and berries, cherries, peaches, plums,
early apples, etc, are coming on to
the market in tremendous quantities,
and in a variety of containers, boxes,
baskets, crates and barrels, with
many shapes and sires of each.
Some conception of the quantities
required for a season's fruit handling
is given in a report by the Dominion
Bureau of Statistics for 1922. In that
year there were 14,906,392 berry boxes
made, together with 13,830,021 bas-
kets and 1,025,175 crates.
Between seasons practically all this
enormous number of containers has
disappeared, and a new supp:y is re-
quired. True, they are very frail, be-
ing
eing made for temporary use only, and
in order to produce the most attrac-
tive and saleable fruit new containers
are necessary.
The interdependence of industries
is very clearly shown in the relation
of the fruit grower to the forest.
Practically all the containers used are
the product of the forest, whether they
be of weed or paper. In the manu-
facture of boxes, baskets and crates
in 1922 there were used 96,550,000
board feet of softwood, 14,162,000
board feet of hardwood, and 7,000,000
feet of veneer-.
Villains.
A Frenchman was travelling in Ire-
land when he overheard the following
conversation:
"Sure, Pat, it's down to Ki:mary I've
been and now I'm going to Kilpatrick.':
"Ye don't say so," said Pat. "Why
it's myself that's been to iillkenny,
and soon I shall go to Kilmore."
"Villains." muttered the Frenchman,

"It's a mystery to me why I don't
break down. I have' SO much to con-
tend with" said the ftrat.woinan,
She looked worried and fretful, ten
years older than she really was. But
her troubles were only the ordinary
vexations of life—unsatisfactory ser-

mischievousness had got him into trou-
ble at school,

"Lite is worth living, if you take It

Doubtless she had never heard of Epic-
tetus and his wise words: "Externals

power." It is even probable that'Wixit-
comb Riley's beautiful way of stating
her point of view was unfamiliar to
her:

Old Sarum.
Two pules north of the town of Salis-
bury, England, is an enormous heap
of ruins which once composed the an-
cient town of Sarum, now known as
"01d Sarum, a rotten born." Sarum was
founded by the Romans, became a
nonslderable city and had a great bish-
op's castle. War came along and re-
duced the city to ruins, and everybody
departed. In 1825 Lord Caledon paid
sixty thousand pounds for the whole
thing, and from that time the '-`rotten
born" regularly returned two members
to Parliament, the elections taking
p:a' a on the field where the city .hall
once stood.
She Moved Along.
She had been standing in front of
the receiving teller for over a quarter
of an hour and he seemed .quite nn -
aware .of her presence—at any rate,.
he took no notice of her at all.
At last she became too irritated to
heap quint another moment, and, rap-
ping on the window to attract the tell-
er's attention, she caustically remark-
ed:
"Why don't • you pay attention to
me?"
"I'm very sorry, madam, we don't
pay anything here," was the polite re-
ply. "Next window on the left,
please."

Of the important places where the
grewt'li of orchestra$ has been Moet
noticeable, And why not?
Hera, indeed, is plaoo where the
orchestra can be made a very 1n1pot't-
ant adjunct of evoilsltip. In fact, there
are, according to a well-known Cana-
dian Sunday School Superintendent,
several'uses for the orchestra in this
particular work. "In this oonneotton,"
he eays, "I would put first a responsi-
bility for enriching the worship pro-
gram of the school I have used the
word 'enriching'' with care. It is ndt
Ilse,place of the orchestra to usurp Cr
even to dominate this program, The
orchestra is not an end in itself, but
is rather a Means to an end. Much
distress of mind will be saved if this
is fully understood by all concerned.
"Again, the orchestra may be a valu-
able adjunct to the worst of the school

1 would make thissecondary to the
first purpose stated.
"Still again 1 look upon the orches-
tra, as as extremely valuable aid in
furnishing an outlet for expression in
service. I would put this value at a
very high point, It is an additional
avenue of expression in a field is
which. we have discovered, so far, all
too few. Every young' person who
gives his service in the orchestra as a
result should be more loyal to the
work of the church school than if that
young person was simply receiving
instead of giving.
"How may the orchestra enrich the
worship program of the school? Out
of an experience as alturch school
Superintendent, I offer the following
suggestions:
"By having a proper balance of suit-
able instruments and by wise modula-
tion. An over -noisy instrument or an
orchestra, too loud as a whole, does
not contribute to the worship values
of a program. Wind instruments have
this hurtful effect. A saxophone play-
ed as in a jazz band )las no place in
such an orchestra; 1f, however, it is
played quietly,' reverently, its mellow
tones give a rich volume to the liar-
mony. The effect of quiet harmony
should be as over against mere
1 volume of sound.
"To enrich the worship program,
the orchestra will need to tit its own
work into the spirit of the hour. If
there is au opening overture It should
contribute to the quieting process de-
sirable in opening a settee!.
"In the matter of the singing, the
orchestra should accompany rather
than lead. It 1s more commonly used
as an aidin leading the'singing, wit's*
the result that quite often there is
very- little following. Frequently, un-
less the leadership of singing is ,well
done, the school stops singing, in.
whole or in part, and lets the orchestra
do the work. when this happens the
orchestra may become a hindrance
rather than an aid."
How Bunny Foiled the
Wildcat.
While a friend of mina was walking
recently through a stretch of wood,
bound on a fishing trip, writes a con-
tributor to the Youth's Companion, he
was astonished to see a rabbit hop In-
to the road and follow along: a short
distance behind him, At first bel
thought that it might be sick, or wound-'
ed., but when he tried to approach it!
the little creature made off into a
thicket.
As he continued on his course he
could still hent it picking its way 1
through the undergrowth, and after he
reached the brook and began to fish lee
frequently caught sight of what was
plainly the sumo rabbit hopping Iran
busk to bush, always• at no great'dls
tance. .
Suddenly he heard the fierce growl,
of a wildcat, and the rabbit scurried up
to within a few feet of him and cower-
ed down In abject terror. .The fisher-
man fired a few shots from his revol-
ter, which frightened the cat .away.
Then the.rabbit disappeared to return
no more.

Mr. Hurd clearly shows good reason
why hay standards shoe -d be estab-
lished in this country. He has investi-
gated comp:pints made in New York,
Philadelphia,, and Boston of the poor
condition in which shipments of hay
have been received told has found
thorn well grounded. Indeed, ha Says,
it would be intposs'lb:e to exaggerate
the condition itt which some consign -
menta have been ret.eivcd. As a re-
sult, the Trade Commissioner adds,
Oanadicn hay has had to be t eel for
less than similar dem st'sc grad s, a1 -
though in matey' cash it can bs ron-
eldered .as good in actual quality,
Some dealers have refused to pm, -
chase hay from 'this country en ac-
count of previous experience. T,.st
year we shipped to the United St etas
291,000 tons, but in the two preceding
years the average was only 17,000
tons. It is pain that if Canadian
shippers wish to met the duty of $4
a ton imposed by our neighbors and
other incidental expelees and retain
or increase the foreign trade in hay
they miist pay careful and diligent
attention not mono to quality but also
to packing and shipping.
