LOST FOR SIX YEARS When explorers leave, their native tured by a tribe of savages who had shores for little-known parts of the world, there is no knowing if they will ever return. Some disappear utterly; but there are eases where they have been given up for -lead, yet have returned or been round after an absence of many years, Take the case- of the heroic mis- sionary explorer, David Livingstone, for instance. He vanished in the un- known interior of African. and when more than six years had elapsed with- out nerws of him, he was mourned as dead. Yet after all that time Stanley found him alive and well at Ujijl,. on Lake Tanganyika, which is almost in the centre of the country. A little while later Stanley himself disappeared, together with three other white men and 353 uative porters.. The expeiitio•n set out from the east coast of Africa in November, 1874, and when. nearly three years had elapsed 'without tidings, the worst was feared But on August 4, 1877, Stanley turn- ed up unexpectedly at Boma, on the west coast, having marched by devi- Surnames and Their Ori.

The fur -trappers of Hudson Bay stili tell' the story. of "Lucky Moore," as he came to be called. He was, a hunter and prospector who was twice report- held the island of Gigha for the Mae - ed lost in the frozenUireste,s of North- donaldts, ern Canada. Yet he turned upalive and well after -disappearing for seven months, and then again for eleven months. When, however, he disappeared a third time, and in a blizzard., while guiding an expedition' along the shores of the Polar Sea., everybody thought it was all over with him. An Eskimo Chief. Nearly six years elapsed. Then as inspector of what was at that time the North-West Mounted Police, in the course of a. journey of .1,800 miles ons ways right across the continent— across the frozen land which stretches along the coast from o a journey of over 7;000 miles -through Bay to Alaska, came upon a tribertbe of Eskimo who acknowledged! a white, man as their chief. The white man was none other than Lucky Moore, He had, he explained, been found by an Eskimo hunter when on the point of death. from bold and starvation, and had remained with the tribe ever since, not daring to run the risk of reaching the settlements, on account of one of his feet having been ampu- tated owing to frost -bite. Tho stirring story of Arctic explora- tion abounds with similar incidents. The Canadian explorer, ' Stefansson, and two -companions, were given up for dead when their ship was crashed by the ice and sunk. Two years later they were found in Banks Land,:a large island in the Arc- tic Ocean. They had subsisted main - territory the major portion of which had never, before been visited by white men. The terrible journey had cost the lives- of his three European compani- ons, 'and of his 353 porters. only 115 had survived. • Captured by Savages. A few years ago a native, bearing a letter, arrived at a settlement near the mouth of the Fly River in New Guinea, the huge island north of Au-- tralia,. To everybody's amazement the let- ter was found to have been written by a Danish explorer named Peterson who; four years previously, had start- ed with three companions to explore the unknown interior of the island, and had long been given up for dead. They had, it appeared, been cap, ly on seal meat.

Advent of Autumn. When fall's first early frosts subdue the ground, And paint with artist's fingers all the trees; Unfurl bright golden banners to the breeze; And scatter leaves o'er every vale and mound; The goldenrod bedecks the byway* 'round; A stray, brown bee roves o'er its yel- low seas Then silence falls in magic mysteries, As Summer's skies in Autumn's haze are 'drowned. And 'neath the murky mirage o'er the river, The wildling asters in profusion grow; The yellow catkins nod brown heads and quiver, Just as they did this time a year ago, There stirs a breeze; the aspens dance and shiver; - The buttouwoode and mipies murmur low.
