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. :Sitting in the circular thamber in the Chicago [planetarium, for instance, awaiting the lecture •for the ;first time, is like preparing to embark on a voy- age to unknown realms.

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 that you canacit see the end of it."

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.
