Glass mirrors coated with tin have
been found in Italy that were used
in the days of Pompey, but just when
and where silverbacked glass was first
employed has never been definitely
established. _As early as 1373 the Ger-
mans had acquired aknowledge of
glass mirror work, and in the fifteenth
century they invented a curious form
of mirror construction called the
"bull's eye."
In the sixteenth century the Vene-
tians [lid much beefatess in the manu-
facture and exporting of glasses with
quicksilver backs, and in 1665 the
rench Government induced twenty
of these glassworkers to came to
aris; where in the year 1691 a method
f making plate glass was perfected
nwhich made France thereafter tire mit-
or market of the world.
The history of mirror -making in
ngland might be said to date from
670. From this time on, rapid strides
ere made in the manufacture of
ooking-glasses, those of the Queen
4.rnse and Georgian periods being par-
icularly notable.
Mirrer glass in its early stages was
blown," and beyond the length of
-ee and one -halt feet was too thin
o serve as mirrors. In case a greater
ength was desired, it was necessary
o add a second piece, and thus the
onger glasses of the early eignteenth
entury were made in two pieces, one
verlapping the other, or finislid with
molding to bide the intersection.
In the latter part of the eighteenth
entury, Chippendale -made mirrors of
eat charm were made, and it was
Luring this time that Chinese designs
ecame popular. Later, Hepplewhite
•nd' the Brothers Adam designed nair-
ors of real worth, the former in shield
•n� oval shapes, usually in pairs.
During the earlier part of the
eorgian period the revival of the
ueen. Anne mirror began, and by
800 the lines of this model were
inch in evidence. Previous to this,
oking-glasses were manufactured in
rge numbers in this country, and
ram 1880 to 1790 the famous "Con -
Autism" glasses were made. Thi
eriod also marked the vogue of the

would be considerably harder to ,sup-

Man has always learnt by means
of jolts since anything has been writ-
ten about him.
It is so easy to fall into a beaten
path, to do the same kind of work for
the same kincl, of pay, taking It for
granted that work and pay will con-

The, world ha,d begun to feel that
wars were at an end and that every-
body was going to live in concord
The lover of out -doom is constantly
looking for new experiences. No
sooner is 'one area examined or ex-
plored than he is laying plans for the
next. Many plans are made and many
are discarded as additional informa-
tion renders them less attractive. Get-
ting beyond what Dr. W. T. Hornaday
terms "the last tin can" is the ambi-
tion of every nature enthusiast, and
breaking new trails is a task worthy
of the best.
Reaching what has been the hither-
to unknowu brings a reality of man's
utter ineignincanee as cornpared with
the works of nature. Gazing, as he
oft times does, upon vast rivers, tre-
mendous waterfalls, huge canons
carved by hartling waters out of mas-
sive rock bodies, trees representing
many hundreds of years of growth,
strange wild lite local to tim unin-
habited regions, the traveller feels
that he is entering a region where he
is superfluous to the organization.
For some years western Canada has
been visited by many travellers, in
search of new experiences, and many
interesting stories have been written
as a result. Canadian Government ex-
plorers are constantly breaking new
ground, ,and the information thus
gleaned. is made available to the pub-
lic.
A trip made by Mr. F. H. Kato, ex-
ploratory engineer of the Natural Re-
aourees Intelligence Branch of the De-

Bell, 65 miles to La Pierre House, with
40 additional to Porcupine; Porcupine,
90 miles to Crow- River, 65 additional
to Rampart House, and 235 additioual
to Fort Yukon. •'
As this' noute has never been ac-
curately surveyed, these distances are
only approximate. -
The craft best suited to this route
are canoes of large, sturdy design,
such as the 18 -foot cruiser or freight
models, and light poling boats. Strong,
serviceable paddles, poles and track-
ing' lines are necessagy. Camp equip-
ment should be restricted to the mini-
mum. power hohts are net practical
on this route, Guides are necessary
from Fort McPherson as far as, Bell
River. The Bell and Porcupine Rivers
can be run by experienced canoemen
though unacquainted with these
waters. .
Condensed provisions should be used
where possible in order' to eliminate
unnecessary weight and bulk. Fort
McPherson should not be depended
upon as a source of supply. Staple sup-
plies en route may be obtained at
Crow'River and at Rampart House,
Fort McPherson.
The establishments her comprise
the Hutlsbn's Bay Company, the North-
ern Trading Company„ Limited, Lam-
son. & Hubbard Canadian Company
Limited, 'Royal Canadian Mounted
Police, Anglican mission and a small
settlement of white traders and In-
dians.
In latitude between 67 and 68 deg.
north, it iP located on the east bank
of Peel River, about .12 or 1.5 miles
above the delta of the Peel and Mac-
kenzie. Mackenzie River steamers
from Fort Smith, operated by the
three trading companies above enum-
erated, call one a year to collect a
cargo of fur and to leave a year's sup-
ply of merchandise. The time of call
is usually between the first and fif-
teenth of .Tuly. The midnight sun is
visible for over a month, and the sum-
mers have perpetual daylight for
about three months. To the south,
east and, north the country is flat, but
the mountains can be seen rising in the
west. A winter portage, about 25 or
30 miles in length, runs easterly to
Mackenzie River, and another portage,
betweea 75 and 100 miles in aength,
leads svest through the ,mountains to
La Pierre House on Bell River,
Peel River is a large, wide, muddy
river, with a uniform, Steady current, -
and is navigable by large steamboats.
Spruce woods line both banks, which
become low and fiat at the delta. A
channel running to the east at the
head of the delta connects with „the
Mackenzie. Another channel turns to
the left and then runs north and is
known locally as the Huskie River.
Iluskie River is the name locally ap-
plied to the most westerly channel of
the Mackenzie delta. The current
here is steady and the Water muddy.
The banks are low and covered with
