For real enjoyment twenty-five miles an hour should be the limit. Take turns at the wheel. Don't travel too far in one day, especially if there are little ones in the crowd. If you get over- tired you have to rest more the next day and you might even get cross. Camp early. There is notbing more distressing than trying to settle in a strange place after dark. When you break camp, be sure that the th,ings you pack away are dry. Foodstuffs become musty very quickly in hot -11',.rthel "light". Think twice over weather.

Communication is Possible Between Distant Minds — • A despatch from Paris says :—The human brain is capable of the emis- sion of radiographic waves which, harnessed and reduced to code, will create a method of communication be- tween distant minds as perfect as that developed by wireless telegraphy.

EXPERIMENTS WITH MAN SOWN CROPS Some of Ontario's valuable cash crops are sown in the Autumn. The market value of these crops this year will probably be upwards of $25,000,- 000. Winter wheat and whiter rye are grown in practically all of the counties in Ontario. For best results it is important to sow pure, large, plump, well matured, sound seed of the best varieties. Ex- periments at Guelph and throughout Ontario show the great value' of the 0. A. C. No. 104 and the Dawson's Golden`Chalf (O.A.C. No. 61) of the white wheats and the Imperial Amber of the red wheats. • Valuable niaterial will be sent out from the Ontario Agricultural Col- lege\to Ontario farmers wishing to conduct experiments on their own farms. The material will be supplied, free of cost, to those who wish to conduct the experiments and report the results after harvest next year. Any Ontario farmer may apply for the material for any one of the fol- lowing experhnents: (1) Three choice varieties of winter wheat; (2) One variety of winter rye and one o • al o. winter wheat; (3) Spring applica- tions of five fertilizers with winter wheat; (4) Autumn and spring appli- cations of nitrate of soda arid com- mon salt with winter wheat; (5) win- ter emmer and winter barley; (6) Hairy vetches and winter rye as fod- der crops; (1) Mixtures of winter rye and hairy vetches for seed produc- tion; (8) Testing 0.A.C. No. 104 win- ter wheat at three dates of seeding; (9) Testing Dawson's Golden Chaff (0.A.C. No. 61) winters wheat at three dates of sieeding. The size of each plot is to be one rod wide by two rods long. Fertilizers wia be- sent by express for Experi- ment No. 4 this autumn, and for Ex- periment NO. -3 next spring. All seed will -be sent by mail except that for No. 4 which will accompany the fer- tilieers. The material will be sent out in the order in which the appli- cations are received and as long as. the supply lasts.

Concerning fishing Nipigon watere with dry flies, the best the writar has ever used are the small bass bug i on No. 1 or No. 4 hooks that have fiat wings.

This advice is given Warningly. Many lo.se opportunities for big fish through trying to get their fly in motion throug•li rad tip action,; Fish them dead, let the current give them -the only action they are to have. Feather minnows are oleo used in, this manner. Naturally, when using phantom minnows and eoinners attached to flies, tho'nod is moved considerably to create a flasli of the lure but this is not fly fishing but real skittering, and the only advice pertinent is to fish the likely reaches of fast water, als•gooa, alealsof the successful fish - lag of 'the Nipigon depends upo• n the Outfit a man takes with him, as well as certain characteristics of the trout here. Like elsewhere, you. have to work for big traut, and the big trout of the waters arta the square -tailed brook trout, known throughout the United States and Canada as true fon- tinols, The best fishing waters for these game fish are the rapids; they hug them continually.

Fly rods, no matter what your/hvorite weight or length, preferably should have a hard action so you can, fish long distances when the water is exceedingly elm -without be- ing observed by' the tout. Also hard action fly rods come in good stead, as very often you have to rough a big fish among.rocks in fast 'wat'er, which can- not be done with other type? of rods.''Furthermore, hard action roda will handle easily large fly rod lures, feath- er mitmoays, bass bugs, spinners 'and phantom minnows 'ail of which are favorite's. at tunes in Nipigon fishing. Be Prepared. Here is something which will often assist in landing a, big fish in rough water. •You can never tell when the big fellow is going to hit,*so be pre- pared foe him. On your fly reel use at least fifty yards of floe bait casting line to supplement your fly line. With a big fellow in fast water you have either to -let him run a while and tire himself out or lose him. If his run is no longer than your fly line and you. have no additional line on your chances of landing him are very poor. There are two ways of fishing Nipi- gon waters with a fly rod. Use either wet or dry ties. The dry files are the floaters, and the wet flies are those that sink on contact with the water. In either event your flies- must be large sizes, even flies. tied on 2/0 hooks are not too large. It is well to be sup. plied with a liberal assortment.'

It is a village, Phari-jong by name, situated on a piece of rising ground in the centre of a plain not manymiles from Mt. Chomolhari, one of the finest mountains in Tibet. It stands over 14,000 feet above sea -level, and is be- lieved to be the highest place in con- tinuous habitation in the weld. It was built someffve hundred years ago. Phari consists of a fortress, sur- rounded by two hundred hovels. Ow- ing to the fact that everything which we would throw into our. garbage can is there siniply thrown nut, these hovels are now below the level of the ground. Year by year the heaps of rubbish have grown, until the occu- piers of the "houses" have had to cut paths through them from their front doors to the road. In spite of its "buried" look, how- ever, Phari is one of the leading "mar- ket towns" of Tibet. There is a re- spectable bungalow in the village, kept up by the Indian Government for the use of its representatives, and it was here that the last Mt. Everest expedi- tion arranged to stop when carrying out their exploraticn of tho nearby mountain. Phari is also in postal and telegraph communication with India.

In Northern Luzon, in the Philippine Islands, is a big tribe of savages known as Mangyans. Thele people are so backward in ciiilization that not one of them can count -up to more than three. • The most highly educated members of the tribe can, by using the fingers, count to ten but_no more, In ease one; should desire to count to twenty he would have to use his toes as well as his fingers, the thought of using the fingers twice never entering their, minds. . These Mangyans have apahouse.a, but travel from place to place, living all their days in forests and jungles. They never see cultivated fruits or vege- tables and have no grain. Their food consists of roots, berries,, wits and such things. Their idea of a real banquet is to have crocodile meat, snakes, snails and a special species of White grub which they dig out of de- cayed trees. The blackest of mficiew stains can be removed.from white goods by boil- ing in water to which two tablespoons of peroxide have beenadded for each quart of water used.
