As soon as the hturting or oth-
er work was over, I set my mar-
vellous machine working and re-
corded songs, old stories, vocab-
ulary, etc., on the tape. The re-
cording machine was a success
from the start. - , On it the
Eskimos were able to hear their
own speech and their own songs;
they laughed heartily and
thought the whole thing a queer,
amusing game, ,

have taken to the microphone as
if it were the most natural thing
in the world. , .. •
Now there are floods of songs;
I find, indeed that this isolated
people in the depths of the
mountains has preserved a mine
of them. They love singing —
through it they express the
changing moods of daily life;
they abandon themselves to it
with a kind of intoxication. A
hunter may be sitting in his tent
gazing in front of him, when
suddenly the urge to sing comes
over him. When he begins, the
others — men, women and chil-
dren — join in from time to
time. The chorus grows strong-
er and the tempo quicker; a
storm of strange notes fills the
skin tent. , . .
We had hacl a musical even-
ing in the skin- tent, with gaiety
and laughter; One Eskimo after
another had taken the micro-
phone and' sung, and a few of
the women had participated,
even the reserved Kaliksuna
who had sung an amusing ptar-
migan song. The children had
made their contribution, tunny
little verses and jingles, follow-
ed by outbursts of laughter,
Then I turned the tape back and
let the Eskimos hear their own
voices, to the delight of all.
Then I said to Paniaq: "Now
call the animals as you do out
hunting." Paniaq took the mic-
rophone and started. He gave
an animal concert so astonish-
ingly true to life that we might
have had all the beasts in the
wilderness about us, He called
caribou, moose, mountain sheep,
fox, raven, owl, yellow -billed
loon, ptarmigan, ground squirrel,
and all the rest. Last came the
wolf. And the wolf's howl rang
out, so perfectly true 50 life in
its harsh dissonance that I felt,
e chill down my spine.
Suddenly he received an an-
swer. The dogs which had lain
asleep in the snow outside the
tent awoke, raised their muzzles

For aviators approaching frons
the sea, a coast litre choose be-
tween two methods of appear-
ing. When air is crystal clear it
announces itself delicately, subt-
ly, as a fine. dark line, barely
breaking the evenness of the hor-
izon: rising, growing, flowering
gradually, giving one plenty of
time to adjust to its presence,
its shades of color, its intraca-
cies of character and shape, But
in heavy haze or fog it can loom
up with terrifying suddenness,
not even leaving time to turn
from its crushing impact. On
one day, it uses the curvature of
the earth as a cloak. On another,
it veils itself with different
shades of mist and weather. ,
The coast of England is well
above the horizon when I see
its outline, pale and whitish in
the haze. Then there's no fog ov-
er Cornwall. I can let go of Ire-
land completely, and move for-
ward another notch in the
rachet of my mind. No matter
what happens now, I'll not re-
turn to those hilly, bouldered
fields for safety, or land in the
waves beside some Celtic light-
house keeper's house. If by any
dwindling chance I still have
to turn back from Paris, I now
have England for a haven.
Above the sheer Cornish cliffs,
rising straight out of the sea,
farm fields break off abruptly
where the soil has tumbled down
into encroaching waves. As a
schoolboy I read of the slowly
changing surface of the earth,
of clam fossils found on hilltops,
of glaciers building and melting,
of drifting continents and dried-
up seas. But all these things
were measured on a time scale
that made little impression on
my mind — hundreds, of centur-
ies — ages before the Sphinx
was built. Here, I see the earth
actually in the modeling, in
terms of time that I understand,
The signs below are fresh, un-
mistakable. The road, and little
houses and barns on top of the
cliff, are all set back from the
precipice, leaving a strip of
green fields along the edge, a
few generations' worth of land
to delay the inevitable collapse
into sea.—From "The Spirit of

It was e great occasion when
the President of the Lebanon
Republic, Kernel Chamoun, re-
cently arrived here on n Siete
visit to Brazil.
The red carpets tante out,
flags waved, and bands Played
stirring music. Amity between
nations seemed to be the theme
of the celebrations staged to
welcome the distinguished vie.
Roe
Outside the steps of the pres-
idency the Lebanese President
inspected the guard of honour
and stood stiffly to attention
while yet another band played
the national anthem of his coon•
tay.
At least that is what the band
though it was playing. And ap-
parently no one noticed the
slightest [ticker of emotion pans
across Mr. Chamoun's face. Ips
only they had known, this was
evidence Of supreme self-control
on ,his part.
For. as has since come out, the
tune the band was playing with
such gusto as a compliment to
Brazil's honoured guest was not
the national anthem of Lebanon
but the national anthem of the
neighbouring State of Israel.
And officially, a state 0f war
still exists between Israel and
the Lebanon.
