the islanders,
During the northwest inonsoen,
when they come up to the sandbanks
to deposit their eggs, they are caps
tured'in the manner described;; but
in the mating season, . as they float
upon the water, the. islanders secure
them with harpoons or by jumping
overboard and rapidly -attaching a
line to one of the flippers.
Another method of turtle fishing,;
not so 3much in vogue, was by means
of the sucker -fish. This, carefully,
attached by its* tail to a line, was
thrown overboard when a turtle was
sighted and immediately attached it-
self to the creature's back, going
down .with it as it dived. The hunter
himself then' dived' down, ; guided by
the line and secured the turtle, which
was then hauled .up,.
Only the green turtle is generally
eaten. The "shell" turtle, a smaller
variety, has to be cut up with great
caution owing to secretions which
produce poisoning if the work is done
by an amateur.
Turtle 'eggs are, a .much -prised deur.
cavy.: Shaped like ping-pong balls„_
with white, leathery skins, anything
up to a couple of hundred of them
may be found in one nest. ` They:
should be boiled in salt water to ob-
tain the full Savor and to clear the
eggs of any taste of "mustiness."

Telephones That Save Lives.
Hundred, „of inventors have ap-
plied their` brains to the question of
finding a certain means of detecting
firedamp, the cause of such. a large
proportion of mine disasters. So far
no completely reliable method has
been found; but it is believed that
a development of the, latest idea will
so_ive the problem.
This idea consists in the use of a
pair of telephones of a delicate kind,
one of which is placed in the upper
galleries where theair is known to
be pure, whilst the other is fixed in
the lower workings. Wires from each
lead to a central instrument.
Beside ; each of the telephones is a
pitch -pipe into 'which a:current of air
is blown by a fan. The two pipes are
tuned to give exactly the sante musi-
cal note:
So long as all is well only one.
note is received and given out by the
central telephone but directly fire-:
damp "occurs the air supplied, by the;
Fan to the pipe in the lower` work-
ings becomes changed, in quality and
this alters the note very slightly,
That of the upper pipe, of course,
remains unchanged, and the result is
that instead of a single clear note
the.. central instrument emits a dis-
cordant noise which immediately at-
tracts the attention of the man in
charge,, warning him that ;there is,
fire -damp in the lower galleries.

Canada. Prom the Atlantic to the Pacific large tracts of territory have been set aside by the 'Dominion or Provincial!
Governments—great unspoiled kingdoms, where nature and beauty vie with each other, where bird and animal life is.
unmolested, and where everything is as nature planned it. Just what this means to'mortal `man it is difficult to estimate,.
but it makes life worth while for those who embrace -the opportunity of spending their vacation in these great open spaces.
These playgrounds are, in addition, a great national asset, as thousands of tourists annually from all parts of the world,

Of the great Canadian National Parks, Jasper Park, which has an area of 4,400 square miles, is without a peer:.
In fact, it is doubtful if anywhere in an equal area such mountain scenery and wonder features can be found—majestic

Jasper Park Lodge is at present being constructed and will be ready for the reception of this year's tourists. It will
