esmiled as he thought of the • sap
house. It held for him one of the
most startling memories af his youth
for when a boy of not more than ten,
he had rounded its corner at dusk and
had come face to face with .a small
black bear. He had run from the place
screaming and Ay the discovery and
killing of the animal a week later
proved to the family that he had not
suffered with momentary insanity.
Black bears were scarce even then.
Only the pas -sing of youth had made
him come to regard the sap house
without dread and oven now, with the
heavy shadows falling. he could feel
a little shiver of memory which was
akin to that frightful moment when
he had tensed the corner anti come
face to face -his dreaming ended with
a start for he had turned the corner
of the sap house and come face to
face not with a bear but with a man!
Ile stopped sheet in his tracks,
startled, and the man, who must have
heard Guy's quick passage through the
underbrush, seemed also startled -for
his eyes were wide, his lips angry.
"Oh- you're not-" the man spoke,
and then stopped.
"Say! For the love of Pete -you

silence, Guy uncertain how much to

As he thought of it he knew that the
man had really done nothing seriously
suspicious. And John Baker's sudden
air of hostility helped hie momentary
decision of silence. Before he made
up his mind as to whether he should
speak, they had reached the field that
John was to plane and without any
further words Baker slipped into a
peer of overalls and picked up the
planter that he used when be followed,
the furrows. He was not chatty.
"Well, I've got to start work now,

as quickly as it had come. "C,oine up

When John was halfway across the
fields Guy turned and. went through
the hedge of trees that marked the
boundary line of his own property.
The field which he had ordered plowed
was ready for planting. As farm fields
go, there was not much of it so he was
going to plant it himself, and trust
that be would have help for the masa-

was more important was that he must

Trade Names for Furs.
Misleading flames for the pelts of
some of our fur -bearers have been
the cause of much confusion in the
public mind. 'Processes have been
developed by which varieties of furs
are produced in imitation of others
until only an expert can identify the
original skin. This has led to the
use of many fanciful names and to
substitution and misrepresentation by
anserupulous dealers:
At the Fur Trade Conference, held
in Montreal in February last, under
the . auspices of the Commission of
Conservation, a committee composed
of leading furriers and the Deputy
Head of the Commission of Conserva-
tion was appointed to consider the
question of "trade names" for- furs.
Tbis committee, after careful consider-
ation, has requested the government
to introduce legislation prohibiting the
use of inaccurate or misleading names
of furs. The Committee recommended
that, "In cases where pelts have been
so dyed and treated as to appear dif-
ferent from their natural state, the
original name should he retained, with
the use of a properly descriptive ad-
jective prefixed."

Heaviest of All Metals.
Anybody who bas been allowed to.
handle a gold brick, perhaps on the,
occasion of a visit to the mint, must
have been astonished to find how
heavy it was. Gold is, in fact, twice
as heavy as lead, Yet it is not the
heaviest of metals. That rank is held
by osmium, which is one-sixth heavier
than goid.
At tee _ether end of the scale or
weights we have lithium, which is so
light that it will float on water. It
is queer stuff. Put a email chunk of
it on your desk and you will soon ob-
serve that it is growing smaller. Be -
fora long it will disappear entirely,
vaporize,d.
Magnesium is nearly three thnes as
heavy as lithium; yet is is consid-
erably lighter than aluminium, which
vse are accustomed to regard as so,
remarkable for its lightness ot

egotism may develop to its injury,
