Nowhere is the advance in the de-
velopnnenj of Canada's resources more
vividly reflected than in the records of
the Dominion's export tracle. The
sheen increase: in the value of that
trade is amazing enough in itself, but
ne :less astonishing is the manner in
which Canada's exports hays spread
out into, new channels.
The United Kingdom and the Un-
ited Staten have long ,bean Caaasia's'
two great customers, and until recent
years other countries have taken only
a .minor share of the Dominion's ex-
ports. Within the past fifteen years a
rena0kable change has occurred. Dur-.
ing that period the Dominion's sales
to the United Kingdom have doubled
in value,. those to the United tSates
membered thestrangeaisappeat'auce have trebled, and at the same -time,
cf a young girl namedLoisa Muller,
who lived with her' grandmother in
a cottage near 'the cavern. She hat/.
gone out one morning.to.gii.,ther herbs,
and was never seen or heard of again,
but he. apron had been found a few
days later near - the mouth of the
cavern. The superstitious moun-
taineers believed the devil. inhabited
the ,dark,. gloomy Place and terror
Mead- throughout the district.
One evening, two men friends,
stood within a hundred paces of this
dreaded cavern of Spinbbonn, The
shrubs around the entrance were re-
markably green. The water, as it
flowed from the cavern, passed over
the top of the rock, which was slight-
ly' hollowed, and there formed a small
lake, from which- it: again buret forth
and descended into the valley below,
Ong . of the men decided to bathe
while bis friend gatbered wild straw-
berries in the neighboring forest of
Rothalps. An hour afterwards, the
Latter returned, but the bather's
clothes were all that could be seen.
Tie sun was going' down and the
shadows lengthening. He climber
onto the rock above the cavern and
looked around on all sides. There
was nobody to be seen. He called;
there was no answer. Only the
Sound of kis voice repeated by the
echoes; which filled him with horror.
Night was coming on, Suddenly he
remembered •the disappearance of
Leese Muller, and hurried down to the
front of the cavern.
There he stood in - affright,. and
glancing towards the entrance, saw
two red, motionless points, Thest.
some dark object moved farther back
-farther, perhaps, than human eye
ever penterated, and, terrified beyond
control, the man bounded over the
rocks and shrubs so a place of safety.
His friend had entered the water and
commenced to bathe. The spider-
monster saw his bare back from his
loathsome den, i•Ie• had been, fast-
ing for some time, and was hungry.
Then the white arm en the water
attracted him. All of a sudden it
rushed out, and put his filthy claws
round the man's neck. It stung him
and went 'tack. Soon the poo suf-
ferer'fell into Use water and died.
Then the spider returned, spun its
wog round him, and swam slowly,
gently back to the extremity of the
cavern, drawing- its victim after it:.
by the thread attached to its own
body.
This was assumed by those who
know to be the terrible story of this
man's fate.
That night the frenxied Inhabitants
approached the cavern, armed with
axes, and two Immense carts laden
with wood, which -:they piled before
the opening of the cavern, and placed
stakes against them, to prevent their
being carried by the water.
Then, with a lighted torch, the
whole pile was fired. Thick volumes
of smoke proceeded from the caVeril,
and in about a quarter of an hour a
black object, with long, crooked claws,
suddenly appeared in the shadows,
andthen threw itself forward at the
opening,
One of the Hien, fearing that it
would leap over the dire, threw his
hatchet,and aimed 'at the creature
so well that ,for an instant, the blood
Mitch flower from its wound half -
quenched the fire, but soon tile, -flame
revived, and the horrible insect was
consumed.

Character and Intellect
"Anthem" in the Spectator (Lon-
don): (There le a widespread tend-
ency in England to compare and on-
trast intellect and character. Itis
believed that these qualities are
mutually exclusive, and that the pos-
session of the one implies the lack of
the other. It is quite commonly as-
sumed that intelligence cannot, in
practice, be developed above a very
humble level, save at the expense of
character. If this confusion ot thought
has affected unfavorably the education
of our youth -on whom our whole fu-
ture welfare so directly depends --all
other counts which can be brought
against it may be regarded as of
minor importance. But it does , work
great :mischief in many other ways.
It leads to a widespread preferemeelor
men of ordinary or 'of inferior inte7li-
gence for the conduct ofepublic-and
private -affairs. Large numbers of
suit men are to be found in Parlia-
ment, on municipal and county coun-
cils, on the governing bodies of vari-
ous public institution and on nearly
all public committees. And in very
many cases they owe their appoint-
ment to this popular helief--that lack
of intelligence implies possession of
character. The loss to the nation
caused by this state of affair's Is, in
She aggregate, enormous, Its effects
are felt everywhe'e. It impairs our
national capacity to deal with current
problems; and it detracts disastrously
from our material and moral welfare,
We cannot afford to persist in this
error.

from what is now known as Canada ,
during the three hundred . years of
commerce in furs. Beaver, 'otter, fox

sea otter and the beaver are notable
examples of changed conditions, The
former is now practically extinct while

were the currency of trade and from
the records of their barter we may
appraise the .volume and: profits of
early trading in furs.
TREMENDOUS TRADE
As early as 1660 the Tadoussae
trade, which consisted chiefly of
beaver skins, amount to 40,000 livres'
profit and. 100 err oes laden with these
came yearly to this post.' In 1660
Radisson arrived at Montreal from
the west country accompanied by 300
Indians and ,60 fur -laden canoes. In.
the year 1788 the trade of the North
West Company did not exceed $200,-
000; -ay 1799, or: eleven years later, the
annual trade amounted to 186,000
Pelts with a value of '$600,000. Of
those 106,000 were beaver. The same,
number of skins in kind and quality
would be worth .$2,000,000 at present
day prices. Between the year 1860-70
the average amount of baav,er brought:
out was 150,000 skins per year to
which must be added the numbers used
by the Indians which represented an
equal number.
For the years 1853 to 1877 the Hud-
son's. Bay Company sold in the neigh-
orhood'of 3,000,000 skins in the `Lon-
don fur market, an average of 126,000
skins per year. Tho beaver hat, dur-
ing the 17th aid 18th centuries, VMS-
worth
asworth 80 to 100 shillings, orfrom$19
to $24 in Canadian money, and as an
article of manufacture' had an impor-
t,:.nee akin to that of thesilkhat, its
successor. One hundred thousand
three hundred and sixty -lour beaver
skins with a total value of $2,292,871,
average value $22.85, were produced
in Canada, season of 1926-27,
WONDERFUL PELTS
The sea otter is the most valuable
of fur bearers and was onee plentiful
It was a regal favorite and taken in
thousands on the Pacific Coast be-
tween 1750 and 1875. Russian and
Chinese. royalty bought it and on the
Chinese market the pelt sold at from
$150 to $200. The pelt of a prime
sea otter measures six ;feet 'Al length
and is of rare beauty. While at Noot-
ka Sound, Sound, Capt. Cook is said
to have bought 1,500 for six pence
apiece, but owing to the reckless Trill-
ing of these animals they are practice
