are going to look out through a tele-

day after day for a clear evening be-
fore making their 'first trip. Out the
planetarium is neither a conservatory
•nor an obeervatory. No plants are
there and 'neither can one look out at
the laetual sky above. So 'much the
better, for, regardless Of the inidday
sun or the raging .endestorm, within
the planetarium, one sits in a cozy
room and has the pattern of the sky
,spread artificially above his head.

ing of Miremicha Pnefeasor Ganong
admits that its origin eludes himaGregor, in his "Beitieh America," says
it is a probable corruption of Marach-
eet, a tribe of [Miernacs '(he evidently
meant Maliseets). Father ,Pacific, ae-
other authority, says thab it might
mean "Place where ode collects di-
verse 'kinds of .berries." ale says, how-
ever, that he is not sure whether it is
an Indian word, or simply a Micmac
pronounciation of a wand derived
from the whites.
Miscou seems to be derived from a
:Micmac word which means muddy
'land, or boggy land. iChignecto is said
to came from a Micmac word, "sug-
nikt," a foot cloth, and that it alludes
to some Indian legend connected with
the Isthmus or Cape; Eacuminac is
,from the 'Micmac "Eekumunaak,"
watchiag 'place or look -out place.
There are many familiar Indian
names in lOntario, Ottawa, our !beau-
tiful eapital, according to lIAL F.
Moore, ie derived from an Indian -1
word meaning to extinguish. "The
refereace," says Mr. Moore, who has
written a book on 'Ontario place-
names, "is to the raist rising from the
Chaudiere Fells near Ottawa City, but
this name was applied to the river be-
fore being given to the city. The mist
rising from the falls Ith it similarity
to steam on a large scale, as when a
fire -brand is thrtist in to the water.
It also means a kettle boiling in the
water."
Toronto is an Indian word mean-
ing "trees •growing out of the water."
Algonctuln [Park is .narnett for the
great tribe of Tudians that lived long
ago north of 1Lake Superior and Lake
Huron. The word itself means "spear- la,
ing Bele from the end of a canoe." Au-
rora has been listed as an Indiata
word, with the translation, "the dead
are dancing."
The Indians, when travelling from
lake Nipissing to Hudson BaY, con-
sidered the journey half done when
they arrived at lAlbitibi; henee the
'name, meaning half way. Algoma, the
home of the ,Algonquins, means hid-
den. Babcaygeon is "a narrow place
between two rocks where water rush-
es through." Cayuga is "the place
where locusts are taken out," and
.Chippeeira, "to roast till puckered."
A number of translations have been
suggested for Conestoga.eamong them
are 'ethe place of immersed poles," "a
'horse." Oattcleiching 'means "narrows
separating two lakes." Erie means
"long tailed," and 'Huron, "a .ailal
boar."
'Kaininistiquia is "river with an is-
land ia. it." Mackinac means big tur-
tle, and 'Manitoulin , "cave of the
Great Spirit." Minnehaha means
laughing water, and Miehipicoten, a
mushroom.
tAocording to Mr. Moare, the word
Muslcaka is probably a corruption of
Misequiokkey, an Indian chief. ' Hia
name appears on two treaties for the
surrender of the Metelcolca district
from the Chippewa Indians s to the
[Province a Ontario. For this She nat-
ives were given four thousand
pounds sterling and two hundred arid
fifty thousand acres af land :between
Lake Simeoe and Lake Huron. Other
writers explain the word as meaning
"red earth" or "clear skies."
Napanee'is the Indian word for
waters, and Mpigon, "Lake So hang

In his trail into the sunset and be-

many evidences of the time when he
was lord of the lakes and forests of
'Canada. Annong these, not the least
interesting., are the place-names. Some
like Kootenay and Assiniboine, are
named for the tribes themselves, and
others are descriptive of scenery, or
.some historic event. ,Saskatcheavan
takes its n'ame from the Cree word
"kis-is-ska-tohe-wan," meaning swift
current. Quebec is from an Indian
word N.Ciiich means "where the river
narrows"; and Ontario is given sever-
al interprdtations, one writer saying
that it means "socks standing high, in
or ' .neaai the water," and another
"handsome lake," or "placid waters."
[Althabalska is an Algonquin word
meaning "place where there are
reeds," and refers to the delta of
Athabasca River where it falls into
Lake Athabaska. Bedeque, in Prince
Edward Island, comes front the Mic-
mac word "Eiptek," the hot place.
IPassamacmoddy means "the ,place of
pollock," and Professor Ganong. who
