The News -Record) Acquaintance and
understanding between Canada and
Newfoundland are now being sought
By distance the two dominions are
not far apart. It is only 154 miles
from North. Sidney, Nova Scotia to
Port au Basques, Newfoundland, 'yet
the two people do not mingle, and do
noteknow each other. On neither side
can it be said that there is an intel
ligent conception of the other's prob
lerns.
One of the first connnen ties which
has existed between the two adjacent
British Dominions is the recent entry
of Newfoundland as a member of the
Good Rows Association. Due to this
a full measure of cordiality will be
extended to Newfoundland at all the
conventions throughout the years.
Newfotrndland is a generous buyer
of Canadian merchandise: Exports to
the island colony are over 812,000,000
a year. Apart from the iron- ore min-
ed by the British Empire Steel Cor-
poration at Belie Island Canada buys
less than a million a year from New-
foundland. Her imports from the
United States are 89,000,000 a year
and from the Mother 'Country..only
'55.000,000.
Representatives of the Newfound-
land 'Government will attend the an-
nual convention of the association to
be held in Quebec in September and
all future conventions and meetings
at the' inter -provincial conference,
Already the Ancient Colony has eg-
tended to the Association an invita-
tion to hold the convention in St, -
John's. It is expected that the new
association which will be one of the
outgrowths of NevfoundJand's par-
tieipatinn in the deltverations of the
Good Roads Association will be a
greater measure of understanding
and sympathy between the two Brit-
ish 'Dominions.

Official Inquiry Confirms Wreckage
as La Salle's Boat. .
The investigating party working
under authority of the Department of
Public Works has given it as its opin-
ion that the old shipwreck on Missis-
saga Strait at Manitoulin Island is
that of LaSalle'e "Griffor 1' which
was lost 251 years ago.
The Goyernetent has +been asked to
take steps to. prevent souvenir -hunt-
ers despoiling the eenmant and four
steps are urged to make more defin-
ite the identification of the wreck-
age. The -stens advised are:
(1) That the iron bolts be tested
in .metallurgical laboratories to estab-
lish their probable. age.
(2) That dredging take place a-
round the wreck in an effort to locate
the brass cannon and large 'anchor of
the Griffon.
(3) That the Magnetic reef at the
mouth of the strait be examined with
glass bottomed cylinders for traces of
the wreck. ` '
i(4) That a careful search of places
n the vicinity of the wreck where six
skeletons were found be made in the
home of finding coins,' or other met-
allic articles,, which might indicate
ate or nationality.
The Griffon was built at Chippewa
Creels, near Niagara in 1669,
After sailing up the lake to Green
ay the vessel was loaded with furs,
long with "Minch merchandise too
ifficult to transpert in canoes, also

Canaa da s History
A striking example .of how really
"ancient history" is linked with that I.
of our own times is' a letter from the
famous Nicholas Flood Davin, M. P.
that witty Irishman who was so well-
known and so weI1 beloved both as
a memberof the douse of Commons
and later, as a member of the house
of Commons' press g'allery, to Sir
John A. MacDonald, Canada's first
Prime Minister and Father of Con-
federation,
This letter is one of a most treasur-
ed collection; which is cherished at the
Dominion Archives at Ottawa along
with hundreds of others, some of
little account andsome of great in-
terest. One of the most remarkable
features of this collection and of oth-
ers like it, is the vast amount of de-
tail of the lives of these menwhich!
in future ages will be one of the most
fruitful sources for biographies and
other historic writings:
The letter is dated the 13th of
May, 1889, and says:—
"My dear Sr. -John: --I have spoken
with three other: North West mem-
bers respecting the rumour that
Charles' 14':' Mackintosh is to be the
Lt. Gov, of the North Weat Territor-
ies. We should all be well pleased
with the appointment.His wife would
just suit as a lady paramount in that

Mackintosh would take care she was

a governor's wife who won't think
herself 'above everybody. The child-
ren would also add to the social char-
acter of Government Melee'. It' is
signed "N. F. Davin, M. P."
The Mr. Mackintosh mentioned is
alive todey and has recently publish-
ed a book- on the lift of Sir John.
Although Mrs. Mackintosh has since
passed away, the children mentioned
are prominent citizens of Ottawa. An

Testing Children for Defective Hearing
The audiometer for determining the degree of hearing retained by deaf persona is one of the recent inventions of
Bell Telephone Research Engineers. It has been found that to test the hearing of children in groups, rather
than individually enables then to concentrate better on the hearing test. .After the telephone receivers have been
adjusted on the right ears of the children they are told to write down as many numbers as they can hear as the
phonograph utters them. They hear numbers coming from the telephone receiver, the intensity of each successive
number group being three sensation units less than that of the preceding group. The receivers are then changed to
the left ears and the test repeated. Children's bearing can be much benefitted when defects are ascertained before
itis too late.
