Midst it most difficult to escape from
the country. In this relation there is
told an interesting story of the escape
of 0110 Petru Cocan from Hungary,
when, on ,account or the impending
war, the decree had gone forth that
no man between the ages of sixteen
and fifty-two should leave the country
without' a passport.
Cocan, who was a Rumanian by
birth and had lived in the United
States, could not get a passport. He
then went to the agent of a traueat-
lentic lino and bought a ticket for
the States, an the assurance that the
agent world get him out of Hungary.
Atter several days of suspense, Oocan,
with three other fugitives, was sent
to a place near the border, where they
were met according to' agreement by a
band of Rumanians disguised as gypsy
musicians, four, -of whom carried huge
bass viols. The backs wore removed
from the viols, and in each there was
a small seat. Cocan and his fellow
fugitives 'took their places, the banks
were fastened on the viols, and again
the musicians set out for the border.
All passed the guard' safely except
Cotten. His bearer got into a dispute
with a soldier• of the guard, the quarrel
waxed violent, tate base viol Tell to
the ground, and tate back cane off,
with the result that Canon was landed
in a ditch by the roadside. He was
arrested and sent home.
IIe tried the same trick again, but
on a different road, and at a place ou
the border far removed from the first
attempt, This time he made his es-
cape; but as the musicians were
crossing the bonier, the soldiers or
the guard demanded a tune, and Co -

greater number of our fires are in the
hones, where little care is taken with
matches, ashes, lighted cigarettes, and
cigars, etc. The careless man at

carelessness is the root of our fire loss

To reduce our fire waste radical
measures are necessary. Legisdati.on

Peace -Time Uses of Hydro -
Aeroplanes.
One of the peace -time uses of air-
craft is for forest flre patrol. In the
United States, experiments have been
carried out in some of the Western
states, under on arrangement between
the Air Service and the Forest Ser-
vice. These trials produced such pro-
mising results in the prompt discovery
and reporting of forest fires that a
greatly enlarged programme for the
current year is under consideration.
Col. II. H. Arnold, of the U.S. Air
Service, has presented to hr.'s Govern-
ment a report recommending that an
air patrol be inuagurated to cover all
lands, Government, state and naivete,
in western Wyoming, Montana, Ida-
ho, Washington, Oregon and Califor-
nia,- This would regnire five com-
plete observation squadrons of 18
planes each, or 90 pltines, with pilots,
observers and complete squadron
equipment each plane to be equipped
with radio sets for Bending location of
fires discovered, and two planes in
each squadron to be equipped with
wireless telephone sets and cameras,
Operators for wireless stations at
bases and sub -bases, and the estab-
lishment of pigeon lofts at bases and
sub -bases would also be required.
A resolution of the Western Forest-
ry and Conservation Association
points out that the use of airplanes to
protect the nation's forests gives op-
portunity for the training of pilots
and observers, while serving a pur-
pose which, in itself, fully justifies the
expense iavolved.
The experiments along this. line M
Canada have been comparatively
limited, being confined, -during the
past summer, to 'two seaplanes loaned
by the Dominion Government to the
St. Maurice Forest Protective As-
sociation. The Quebec Government
has also do -operated by aiding the
work with a cash grant.
In Canada, the whole question of the
Dominion Government's programme of
air services is under consideration by
the Air Board. As the possibilities
and limitations of peace -time uses of
aircraft have been by no means fully
demonstrated, it is logical that the
Dominion Government should take
the lead, in co-operation with the pro-
vinces, as to services of an essentially
public character. Experimentation
and .demonstration` are essential if
this wonderful new development, re-
sulting largely from the war, is to play
its full part in the peace -time develop-
meut of Canada.
It Couldn't Ee Done.
The man speeded up his car to see
if he couldn't heat the train to the
crossing. He couldn't.
Another man st?uek a match to see
if the gasoline tank In his garage was
empty. It wasn't.
Another man who insisted on lead-
ing a bull by a rope thought that he
could dodge the bull and climb the
fence if the animal became furious.
IIe couldn't; he was carried through
the gate.
Another man took it for granted that
a dilapidated bridge would support hie
:tractor. It wouldn't—his widow will
vouch for the fact.
A. woman took a spoonful out of an
unlabeled bottle, supposing that she
was taking Dough syrup. She wasn't

The Eskimo's Digestion.
There is at least one native race
of America that is little troubled with
dyspepsia. The Eskimo seems to
defy all laws in this relation and to
thrive. He eats until he M satisfied,
aisd it takes much to satisfy him, if,
indeed, he ever is satisfied. He eats
as long as there is a shred of the
feast before him. His capacity is
limited only by the supply.
The Eskimo, it further appears, can
make no mistake in the manner of
cooking his food for the very simple
reason that he does not cook it. Nor,
so far as the blubber or fat of the Arc-
tic is concerned, is he worried about
his manner of eating It. Indeed, he
may be said not to eat it at all. He
cuts it into long strips an inch wide
and an inch thick and then lowers the
strip down his throat as one might
lower a rope into a well. Notwith-
standing all this, the Eskimo does not
suffer from indigestion. He can make
a good meal off the flesh -and skin of
the walrus, provision so hard and
gritty that in cutting up the animal
the'knife must be continually sharpen-
ed.
The teeth of a little Eskimo child
will, it is said by those who know,
meet in a bit of walrus skin as the
teeth of one of our own children would
meet in the flesh of an apple, al-
though the hide of the walrus is from
hall an inch to an inch in thickness
and bears considerable resemblance to
the.hide of an elephant. The child of
the Arctic will bite it and digest it and
never know what dyspepsia means.
