From •Stewart Edward White's account in , "The 'Land of Footprints," it ap- pears that the African birds, al- though they may not be great ring- ers, are vocal enough, for all that. Some of their notes have.a eieh- Imes and depth of t-imbi:e1 perhaps unequalled elsewhere, The chime - bird has aaase,enaeltably , deep and melodious 'double note;' the bell- , bird ±oLL llk cathedralsbellain the blackneteof the forest; .and the b•ottle-bird areitrently pours gurg- . , ligiudt goldefroni a silver jug. rs.

On this principle Ger- man naanee would by no Means be words of ill 'omen for Canadian cruisers. • ° Literary Efforts Few. The paucity of literary ' ships seems to hint that the mike is not a great reader. The shipping list does n,ot resemble a oollege curri- culuin or a isooksellees advertise.- ment. Of novelists We find Hugo,,, whose "Toilers of the Deep" no doubt rec,ommended him. Sir Wal- ter Seett is remembered, by a name- sake ship, and 'a score of Ladies of the Lake, There is no evidence of a nautical interest in popular fic- tion. There is nothing later than Uncle Tom, Topsy and Ben-Hur. The sailor whose favorite mimes are these of history mad heroic poetry naturally disdains the best sellers. The ,poetry the isailor reads is like- wise, old-fashioned. Shakespeare, -strange to, relate, bas no ship to himself, but Ophelia and Romeo are remembered. The ships Zuleika and •Mazeppa, email Byron, and Minnehaitha suggests Longfellow. No doubt Winch 'guns and armored turrets will demand names of greater explosiveness and velocity, -something perharpe -ham Kipling or Robert Servioe. A Poor Speller. In spite, however, of these evi- treacles of erudition we have to tax the mike with a neglected educe - tion. The fault may be due to bi- lingualisra, but 'at, any rate ship mines abound in eas-epellinge, Gael does duty for -Goliath. Lia am Leah, and Ladle for the dimin- utive of Lydia. But the worst is the "Germainnia," a ship owned by a. Frenchman ,on. the, Lower St. Lawrenee, who learned hie English, as many ether French-Canadians have doitea-under a Cockney in- structor. , ,Music in Evidence. The lack of a Terpsiehere is atoned for by many ransical ships, such as Andante, Crescendo and Eri Ring. On the whole the 'sailor's musical fancy se,eme to turn to musical comedy with light opera. Gilbert, the playwright, has • a flagship. of his own escorted by the Mikado and the Tolanthe; but H. M. S. Pinafore is strangely missing, and Sullivan, his musical collab- •erator, is eampletely unknown. But it may be that the growth of Canada's shipping trade will pro- vide room for this' and other names which have been so far omitted, in newspaper aaela•nee, eolely for lack of epace. The fascination of some of the hentoiliaaof 'the' feet -lights has not been unrecorded. There are ships called Edna Maee. the Jereey'Llly, and Julia Opp -after the wife ef Mr. Favereha,m, Maud Allan and Mazurka keep !time to- gether.

Amy faults that the eager may have are more than outweighed by an enthusiastic dev.otsien te saints. There are, more than tvro buridreci Saints' names on the shipping re- gister. St. Ge•arge is the most pop- ular for steaan craft, but St. Joseph heads the pelf for the sailing ves- sels. Probably no boat hears a mere unique name than the good ship St. Joseph Three Salmon. Possibly the laestern grain grow - ars might forego their opposition to a navy if the battleships were call- ed by Such names as Manitoba, No. Hazel or Alberta, Alfalfa,. , Ships like Grit and Tory show a nautical interest in politics; and Dan Patch and Shrubb reveal a fondness for the track and the cin- der path.

It would nob be well to conclude without mention, of the great num- ber of Sha,miroclos and Thistles and the even more numerous Maple Leafs.

Travellers toG ibraltar are al- e ways on the lookout for the famous apes of the rock, the -only Wild mon- keys in Europe and will be inter- ested learn. tfiat their threatened extinction ha,s been averted. ' Until about twenty-five yearn ago these monkeys held undisputed pos- session of the upper part of the rock and were seldom seen; huI when the fortification on the sum- mit was begun the animals spread to the lower levels and were one of the sight of the, place. One locality Bruce's Farm, they avoided for years: The etory is that long ago they became very troublesomc th the owner by raiding his fruit gar_ den. After various expedients to get ral of them heel failed, some one caught a young monkey a•nd tying it to a tree left it to starve to death. This cruelty was resented by the band, which, it is said, car. tied away the dead body and never afterward a.pproacherl the place, Ten year& ago there were fifty or 'sixty apes on the rock, but many were shot or :trepped, and three years age only gime <ski females were left to represent the stock. When this ca.me to the knowledge of the commandment he issued or- der for their protection, and ian- pelted from Morocco a reale and four females; but the three old females attacked and soon killed the newcomers. A second experi- ment was equally uneucceseful, but ia 1911 a third -.male was obtained, who fought his way into the good graces of the old females and be- came the sire of several young mon- keys that will now, it is expected, replenish the stock. , Unfortunately this sire beeline so dangerous, viciously attacking the people who would befriend him,' that he was lately condemned to be shot.

In 1840, when driving down Conetitistion Hill, her Majesty was twice fired at by a young man named Oxford.; again in 1842, near the same place, another youth, John Francis, "a wretched creature," fired at the Queen, his erime being repeated neXt day, in the words of the Prince Consort, by "a hunch -backed wretch': celled Bean. „ . In 1849, while again timing down Constitution Hill, the Queen was fired at -but only with powder -by 'William Hamilton, a crazy Irish- man from County Limerick; while next year her Majesty was struek in the face with a cane by Robert Pate, an ex -army officer.
