Natural Resources Bulletin.
The Natural Resources Inte'Aigence
Service of the Dept. of the.Intorior
se Ottawa says:
We are just about to enter upon
Canada's real winter, when steady
cold weather may be expected. ~What
results the' winter will -bring will-, in
the form oe improvementfor advance-
ment, depend largely upon the indi-
vidual- particulanly those who have
reached manhood or womanhood. Will
we simply waate the time or will we
be better informed when the spring
comes' than we are at present?
Why not study Canada? °, True, it
is a large subject, but it isaninter-
esting one, and" one that will well re-
pay the ;time gives; to it. There is
-.plenty of material available in the
eev"erai departments of theprovincial
and federal governments, that may be
obtained either free or at a merely
lsoluinal charge.
Take, for instance, the geography
of Canada.' The political geography
%e" fairy well knowzt-the boundaries
of the several provinees, the'Eeation
of capital cities,: the .subdivision of
Bounties in. the eastern provinces and
the system of ' survey and electoral
districts of the western provinces -
these have been brought, hone to us
either in attending school' or in later
life.
But, if we were to bo asked as to
the physical geography of Canada, we
would probably not be nearly so well
informed. "Where' do our great rivers
take their rise and what is the area
of .their water-abede? What is the
cause of the wide spaces that are
practically unsettled? Where are the
main areas of agricultural land in
Canada, -•and why are -the other per-
tions.notsuitable for farming? What
are the latter portions , of Canada
more adaptable, for? These are but a
few of the questions that every Can-
adian interested in his country should
be able to answer. '"
In many places study clubs have
been organized, where subjects per
taining to Canada are studied and
discussed. These have been of value
in many ways. They have inculcated
a spirit of pride in our country, they
have enabled the members to answer
the innumerable questions of the new
settler of the tourist, and they have
created a desire among those- attend-
ing the meetings for further infornia-
tion, with the result that courses of
reading have been adopted and fol-
lowed.
During the coming winter let us
study: Canada. It will well repay us,
and will nralte us prouder of our coun-
try.

Dog Swims Rhine 13 Times
To Show Soldier I -Ter_ Pups
A :despatch from Berlin says: -A
touching and unnsuali case 02 canine
fidelity has come to light at Andern-
ach, on the Rhtne, near Coblerrz, in
the territory occupied by American
troops after the armistice. A female
dachshund, for many years owned by
a crippled former soldier living at
Engem, on the opposite side of • the
Rhine, was sold under economic pees-)
sure to a dog fancier living at Ander-1
nacli. She had hard:y been installed
in her new home -when the dachshund
gave birth to seven pups. ,
So great was her- devotion to her
former master and' her eagerness to
showhim her offspring that she needed -

Rhine each time with a puppy in her

of the funeral ceremonies, aiioult fif
teen hundred people had gathered
outside. 'Every man's head was -bared
and every woman's bowed when a
motor hearse bearing Alexandra's
body came out; from the station, fol-
lowed by several other cars. There
was a glimpse of a flower -covered
casket through the glass sides of the
hearse, of the crimson uniforms of the
' Purcell's`Muaic.
• The influence or .poetic imagination
and a love et poetry, upon the work of
a eceimecer 0f' mll ic, is. well .ihus-
Meted by the case 01 Henry Purcell,
greatest of English composers. His
mind was attuned to poetry, and it.
instuctively wedded to the words of e
poetry music which as/Mira/11y reflect-,
fed .them. In this, regard he was far
in advance of his time, for it was not
until a hundred years later that Gluck
established the claim of words used in
maple 'to the consideration.ethey de-
serve, and the place they nose hold in
vocal music. That is one of the rea-
sons for our reverence of Purcell' as
one of the geatestof all musicians; .
Guards. That was all.: Behind the -
casket came a car carrying ' King
George, ` Queen Mary, the Prince of
Wailes and the Duke of York. In an-
other were several other Royalties.

Queen Mother. Privileged
to Fly Har Own Flag
Amongst the privilegesextended fe
the queen by King Edward was the.
right to fly the royal standard, hith-
erto the -exclusive right of the ruling
sovereign. ll'pon his death, a special,
standard wasdesigned for :the widow-
ed cinema It measured 24 feet by 12
feet, and consisted of the British
standard on one half and the Danish
standard on the 'right, , It was ;quite
a remarkable flag from a zoological
standpoint, including as it did seven
British lions, two horses, a winged
dragon, •a swan, -a falcon, a goat and
a seated bear, with six more quaint
ions in the -Danish section:
Each animal represented several
pages in the- histories of the twona-
tions, whose long and enduring friend-
ship had. been consummated in the
union between their royal families:
Thus did the widow of Ederard'the
Peacemaker hoist to the inasthead a
Standard that symbolized Europe's
most striking example of int8tnatiasn

Blackfield farmer, was saved fi•onr
drowning in 'ICiopley Lake, Fawley,
near' Southampton; recently, by the i
horse which she had been driving to
a trap, says "The Cardiff Times."
She.had stopped,; at the edge Of the
Iake to give die Horse a drink of water
when the animal missed its footing,
fell in about eight feet of, water and
drew the trap 'after it. Miss 'Mussel-
whiteiwas pitched headfirst into the
lake. She could not swim,'but manag-
ed to''struggle 'clear of the horse and
the tangled reins. Tha horse also
kicked itself clear, saw that Miss Mus'-
selwhite was fighting in the water a
few yards away and- swam toward
her.
Miss Musselwhito was near the end
of her resources, but managed th
clutch the reins and the mane of the
horse, which imrneciiately>felt the pull
at its' head, turned around and,sviarn'
to the shore* She then elambered.`4i
its back: and rode to her father's bottle,
two miles away.

"The Voice"
Oxford Vo,1ce
Put on English Radio
"Tho oxford voice" isto be broad-
cast throughout England. It has been
the subject of much' unfavorable com-
ment
onment in England and is supposed to
be something which should be avoided
by every self-respecting malt who will
not wear Oxford bags, But England
must hear "the Oxford voice" whether
it wants to or not. •
A radio broadcasting station is -to
be opened at Oxford which will reach
every part of the British` Isles with
talks on every phase of university life.
In many sections of England the pub-
