Tbibio. It 'is very hard to state exactly the population of this great African country,ebut there are thousands and thousands of men, wo- men and children. Of course with such a crowd of children there are many boys. They are black in the skin, but they are just the same as the boys at home. Boys w'ho are willing to learn hut have not the same opportunitiea as the boys in Canada. ' But they ane gradually get- ting more and more chance through the Missionaries and the Government. The native boys are fond of sports as well as of learning, and they make "very good Scouts. On the 22nd day of- March f.March of dais year we - held a Scout Field Day at Ibiaku: This is an, an- nual affair, .and the boys, all talk of as the "22nd." At this time of the year it seems funny to talk to a Cana: than hey about a Field Day, as it would be very cold. But not so in Ibibi•dland• At that time it was 90 degrees in the shade, so that in the sun it would be about 140 degrees,' which will . almost make a Canadian boy hot to .think At the Field Day there were about 6,000 natives present faun). far and near, ,chiefs, men, women, boys and girls.. There were only 19 Europeans present, representing Government of- ficials, missionaries and traders'. Cap- tain F. Ashley, the head .of the Gov- ernment in this district, was present, and he is a great supporter and takes a great interest in the Scout. Move- ment. He also gave the first prize for the parade. The day was spent in, sports of all kinds, races. football, games, etc. I am sure that if the Boy Scouts of Canada had been able to look on they would' agree with Mr. Drysdale when he says that the boys in Ibibiolaiid are good Scouts.

The trickster pretends to pick a magic seed out of the air and puts it on his coat lapel where a but- tonhole `.flower would be worn. The spectators can see that his hands are - empty. He ' counts, "One, Two, Three!". and a real, rose appears, as 1f by magic, in the buttonhole. A length of elastic is the eon - federate in the trick. One end of this is fastenedto the inside of the coat under the armpit. The exact position will have to be de- termined by experiments. This is lead right through the cloth and through the buttonhole and a rose -is fastened to the end. When the performer enters the parlor, the elastic is ,stretched and the rose hidden and held by the ,pres sure of the upper arm against the body. To cause the rose to ap- pear in the buttonhole, it neces- sary only to relax the pressure of the arm against the body. ` Magi- cians usually arrange for the rose to be easily detached from the elastic,- thus permitting an exams- nation of the flower and the auto- matic vanishing of the means by ':Which .the trick was done.
