Some of them are even lucky enough to obtain a live specimen for a Patrol Pet, suck as the Bulldog Patrol, etc., ;whereas others sometimes find a dead specimen of their "name," which they stuff and mount, (Scouts, of course, do not kill animals or birds •wilfully). They study the habits and surround- ings of their bird or animal, and learn .lot of useful information in so doing, - How would you like to be as patient and industrious as a Beaver, as cun- ning'as a Fox, as strong as an Eagle, to stalk as well as a Panther, or to be as agile as a Monkey? Master the Rev. R, H. W. Kneese. The Suffolk Scouts are anxious to visit a number of Canadian Scout Camps. • Lone Scouts should also individual- • ly, where they are not members of a Patrol, select an emblem as do the Patrols, and study the habits of the bird or animal they select, in particu- lar, concentrating on this emblem to a greater extent than on the other live creatures. From the Stores Department for a few cents, you can obtain a Flag, to tie unto the end of your Scout Staff, on which is depicted the animal which you select, and which you can use as your banner.

Although the numbers who have at- tended this camp are not so large as we had hoped for, due, we presume, to the difficult times we have recently passed through, nevertheless there are enough Lonies to make the camp worth while, and to httve a great deal of fun together. The park is now at its hest, and the swimming pool is great, and there is no doubt that those who attended this year will want to repeat the ex- perience at the first opportunity. An interesting point which will un- doubtedly appeal to all Ontario Lonies is that a friend of our Commissioner, Scout Kurt Topp, of Troop 800, Chi- cago, Ill., has journeyed all the way from Chicago especially to attend this camp. Kurt is 15 years old, and was Capt. Furminger pleased to see him again? Oh Boy, I should say! Empire Scouts at World Gathering The number of Scouts to represent the British Empire at the next World Scout Jamboree,. in Hungary, next summer, has been increased from 2,500 to 4,200. Several Scout districts in Hungary are inviting British Scouts to visit them for a few weeks this summer. Their idea is to develop friendships and improve their knowledge of Eng- lish. C adia S c ' • attc ine • -et -om- mers World Scout gathering in Hun- gary will go as members of the Bri- tish Empire group, and probably will be attached in small units to Old Country troops.

First, this INTRODUCTION—The book of Exodus comprises both history and legislation. The dramatic story of the exodus is broken off here and there to include a section of laws cr directions for various institutions. The reason for this is twofold. On the one hand, the historian. obviously sought to set forth the inner soul of his people by exhib- iting the kind of laws which governed their lives; on the other hand, it was considered that most of Israel's lams and great institutions had their origin Li the formative period when Israel was delivered from Egypt At this jtncture of the etery, then, we have the directions for observing the Pass- over. A series of dreadful plagues had failed to convince the stubborn heart of Pharaoh that God really in- tended to set his people free from the bondage of Egypt. Another plague, more awful than any of the others, -was yet to come—the destruction of all the first born of Egypt. It was while Egypt was thus stricken that the Israelites made good their escape. The Passover had its origin in that night of divine triumph for Israel. The human mind will become more various, piercing, and all com- prehending, more capable of under- standing aud expressing the solemn, and the sportive, the terrible and the beautiful; the profound and the tender, in proportion as it should be illumined and penetrated by the true knowledge of God. Gentles, intellect, imagination, taste, and sensibilittY, must all be baptised into religion, or they will never know and never make known, their real glory and immortal power. —Channiug, (Fenelone Sir Walter Scott, while travelling in.

The deliverance from Egypt was to tlee Israelites what Calvary is to the Christian. Each of these great re- demptive events came to be symbolized in a suitable ritual—the deliverance from Egypt in the Passover, and the sacrifice of Christ in the Lord's Sup- per. Moses delivered the detai'ed pro- visions for observing the rite to the elaers, and the elders, as the tribal and clan leaders, would pass them .m to the people. Not all of these details are now clear to us, but there is no mistakingthe main features of the ceremony. It should be noted that while the Passover was to 'be observed by the whole people, it was largely a family affair. "According to your families," said Moses, v. 21, Each family, as a unit, was to draw a lamb from its flock. Perbaps the later Popularity of the Passover above all other Israelite institutions lay in the fact that it was primarily a family festival. When the paschal la:nb was killed, its blood was caught in a basin and applied to the lintel and the door - h • b which formed a suitable brash, cfatetion p ace posts with a wisp of hyssop, Forest Tree Seeds The Forest Service, Department of the Interior, maintains a plant at New Westminster, British Columbia, for the extraction of forest tree seeds. Following the season of 1930, this plant extracted 2,933 pounds (near. ly a ton and a half) of forest tree seed, practically all of which was sent to the Imperial Forestry Coni -.mission and the Forest Service of s av New Zealand for use in reforesta- tion work. ee 7 Checking the Compass Since 1880, field officers of the Topographical Survey, Department • of the Interior, in the course of their•• regular surveying and mapping • operations, have made about 30,000 • measurements of the direction ofn • pointing of the magneticZoinpasti needle. Such measurenfents may be taken by the surveyor in a few minutes, at very little additional ex- pense when he is already on the ground with the necessary instru- ments.
