Historic Fires That Have Swept Canada's Forests More deadly even than the wood- man's axe and saw is his carelessness with fires. In fact Canadian Forest Service records show that 60 per cent of the original timber ha's'been burn- ed while only 13 per cent has been cut for use. This relentless destruc- tion of Canada's greatest natural re- source has been going on for mere than a hundred years. Here are a few of the outstanding historical disasters. The Miramichi fire, in 1825, burn- ed along the valley of the Mirachichi river in New Brunswick, and on a belt 80 miles long and 25 miles wide almost . every living thing was killed. One hundred and sixty people per- ished, 1,000 head of stock were kil- led and a number of towns, including Newcastle, 'Chatham and Douglas - town, were destroyed. The damage to the forest was not even estimat- ed. Damage to other property was placed at $300,000. About 1845 vast areas were burned over west of Lake Superior, many' of them still remain bare of tree growth. Some years later a very extensive fire burned along the height -sof -land' from Lake Timiska- ming to Miehipicoten, and in 1871 an- other large fire swept aver an area of .more than 2,000 square miles a- long the north shore of Lake Super- ior from Lake Nipissing to Part Ar- thur, completing a chain of desola- tion across the northern part of the Province. About the same time the, greater part of the ;Saguenay and Lake •St. John district, in Quebec, was swept by one of, the most de- structive fires on record. Two oth- er fires' in 1891 and 189.6 devastated over 2,000 spuare miles ;of country in the southern Algoma district. In Quebec again, the country along the line of the Quebec and Lake St, John railway also suffered by a num- ber of di'sastroris forest fires while millions of dollars worth of timber in the Ottawa country, also. fell a prey to the devouring element. During mare recent times, a ser- ies of disastrous fires . swept over Northern Ontario. A number of isol- ated fires around the mining camp of Porcupine culminated on July 11, 1911, in a conflagration which re suited in the loss of 72 lives and pro perty dannage estimated at $3,000, 000. In 1910, fires in the same gen ern) region where responsible for the deaths if at least 224 people, the exact number nefer having been de- termined. During 1922, a third fire, covering in part the areas burned ever by the previous fires, destroyed that city, caused 25 deaths, rendered 6,000 leofle homeless and damaged property to the estimated extent of 5,000,000. The most disastrous year in mod- ern days was 1923 when the total lass including the value of the tim- ber destroyed and the !firefighting costs amounted to the staggering sum of $40,009,000.00l Truly, fire is a great servant but a terrible master. Statistics collected by the different government a bureaus show that over 85 per cent of the fires of known ori- gin are due to human carelessness and therefore preventable. Campers, settlers and railways are responsible for most of the fires whose origin is determined. Other 'causes, including lumbering operation's and incendiar- ism, account for small proportions, and only a few are attributed to lightning. q The experienced woodsman clears. the ground carefully, builds a little fire that he can Control easily and sees that thelast lingering spark is out before; he moves on. Such care on the part of all those who enter the forests would prevent most of the fires. ANTIPODDANS KEEP THEIR CARS LONGER As in New Zealand, motor cars in Australia are long lived, the average life being 10 3-4 years for passenger oars and 9 years for canrniercial ve- hicles. 25,200 more passenger cars were in use in Australia, during 1934 es compared with the year previous, while 'Commercial vehicles had in- creased by 11,275. Increase in motor cyccles was 923. In 1934 there were 455,382 cars in use, 744,729 commer- cial vehicles and 75,671 motorcycles.

This apparently impossible feat, however, is being done every day over the telegraph wires but instead of vocal, written speech is transmitted. Between Mon- treal and Toronto, for instance, the Canadian National Telegraphs trans- mit eight telegrams over one wire and by a unique contrivance, the let- ters or other symbols in the tele- grams are sorted each to the tele- gram to which they belong. The I messages are all received on auto-' uratic typewriters so that as fast as the messages are Sent they are typed by the machine, Thus, it will be readily sear, that the sending and re- ceiving capacity is multiplied enor- mously and a great saving is made in telegraph wire and other- line e- quipment. ClieSNAPSIIOT CU1L It's Camp -Fire Picture Time "Keep a Picture Story of Your Campfire Parties" 'g'`B,URING these fine summer clays lam' just about everybody, it seems, wants to take advantage of every opportunity to got out to the coun- try, the lake or seashore for camp- ing, marshmallow roasts, corn roasts, clam bakes, beach parties and what have you. Taking pictures at night around the camp fire is a lot of fun and the results pleasing and out of the ordi- nary. Since the introduction of the Photoflash lamp there has been a tremendous interest in camp -fire pic- tures for this lamp is so simple to operate. The Photoflash lamp is sim- ilar in appearance to a common elec- tric bulb and can be screwed into a special holder resembling an ordi- nary stand flash -light tube. These holders are very inexpensive and can be purchased at almost any store selling photographic supplies. The flash is set off by pressing the flash button and it gives an intense light without any noise or smoke. Tltis is how you take a camp -fire picture. The people should bo grouped as close to the fire as com- fort wll permit. The arrangement of the group can be viewed in the finder of the camera by having some- one hold a pocket flash -light or fire- brand at each side of the scene, This wil indicate just what and who are included in the picture. And let pie warn you -be sure you have everybody in full view in your finder. Otherwise you may find the decapitated body of a dear friend appearing in the finished print. It is well not to have the fire too bright, nor yet allow it to due down to embers when the picture is made. With the camera resting on tri- pod or firm support, set it at stop f.8 or U.S. 4, open the shutter, and set off the flash bulb and then be sure to close the shutter immediately. When usiug the Photoflash bulb hold it to one side of the camera, and slightly behind it. The latter position pre- vents possibility of lens flare from the flash. Here's one simple precau- tion: -see that the camera is placed where possible smoke from the fire may not be blown towards the lens or between it and the subjects. Remember too it is not necessary to own an expensive camera to take camp -fire pictures at night. You can take such pictures -and good ones - with a box camera by using the larg- est stop. • So if you are planning on an out- door party at night over this week- end, or a camping trip, be sure to be prepared t0 take some fascinating Photoflash pictures. Here's wishing you a lot of fun and good pictures. JOHN VAN GUILDER.
