An organization meet- ing will be held soon. The club will be affiliated with the International Aero Club, which -has its headquarters in New York City. The international élab has as mem- bers a number of wealthy and prom- inant men, who %ave set out to en- courage Boys to form sero clubs and study the science of aviation. When clubs are formed the international supplies descriptive literature, deal- ing with the scientific side of aerial navigation. Several boys' clubs have already been formed in diffcrent Am- erican cities. All boys under 18 years of uge are eligible ta join the club. Mr. Atkin- son, superintendent of the institute, wishes to hear from all boys inter ested in the sciences, Though! for Others. That the late EH.

Citizen, Ottawa. to The Missing Jam. Sir William Hartley, who combines the manufacture of jam with much philanthropic and religious work, tells a rollicking story of a letter he once received from a Welsh customer "Dear Sir," it ran, "why in the name of goodness gracious don't you send the jan 1 ordered last week? I have already AGSt Mr. Jones' custom through you. Why don't you send the jam, man? Bother you, you are a nuisance whatever! Bend the jam at once, quick--Yours truly, John Davies." Then followed a postscript: "Dear Sir,--8ince writing the above letter I have found the jam under the counter." Capitalizing a Voice.

"Britain's one Utopia--Selkirkia"-- is the of Dr. George Bryce's spirited new book, "The Romantic Settlement of Lord Selkirk's Colon- ists." He has connected the writing of the story with the proposed cen- tenary in' 1912. Everyone who reads his history must have a livelier im- and settle . Dr. Bryce's style is particularly graphic, and h¢ has been at pins to make his history at- tractive to the average reader. hen- ever possible he sets down the recol- | lections of an eye-witness of any event connected with the history of the Selkirk settlement. At the pres ent time he says no one is living who saw Lord 'Selkirk, but he has con- versed with men who remembered hirg very well and from their descrip- tion he gives a convincing picture of the Scottish spbleman who d not sec his countrymen sent away from their native land without founding a ew home for them where they would be ss happy as they been in Scotland, and more prosperous. "He wag tall in stature, thin and refined in appearance. face, his manner was eéasy and polite. To the Indians he was specially in- teresting. They caught the idea that being a man of title he was in some way closely connected with their Great Father the King. Because of his 'generosity to them in making a treaty, they called him the Silver Chief. 1le was the source of their treaty money." The writér's powers of description are well-known. There is as well in the book a great deal of vivid Celtic imagination, The Assiniboine is lik- ened to the Tiber and the sufferings of the band of Selkirk settlers, who were dispossessed by the North-West fur traders, are said to be out of all comparison greater than those en- dured either by the Atadians or the U. E. Loyalists. When the historian writes of a buffalo hunt, or the gathering of the fur traders in spring, of Seven Oaks, the plague, the floods on the Red River, and the long journey of the settlers from Hudson Bay to Winnipeg; he carries his readers along with him as only 'a writer of imagination and apt phréseology ean.

"l am dying," sighed the Birch Tree, 'my life is nearly done, and of what use have I been to the word? Here have I stood for years, warm by the sun, bathed in the rain, buf- feted by the winds of heaven. What good has it all been--now I am dy- ing? $hrough the woods strode a young lodian chief, stalwart and swift of foot, capable and keen-eyed; his gaze wandered from tree to tree as if in he shook his head; as he came out of the forest he espied the old Birch Tree close to the water's edge. A glad light came into his face, and he cried, 'Of the bark of this tree will I make a boat for my True Love." Hg cut the tree down and stripped off the beautiful brown and white bark - and skillfully shaped it into a little craft the like of which no man had ever seen before. A paddle he fashioned out of a bit of the wood of the tree; when the tiny boat floated like a lily upon the water, he clapped his hands for joy. Then he paddled aeross the lake to where his True Love dwelt. "See," said. he, "other chiefs take squaws to carry burdens; but I have made a boat to carry you," And he liftéd her in and they went back to- gether to the root of the old Birch Tree end there they pitched their tent, that every day®the spirit of the old tree might see itself in its beautiful new life upon the water. An Indian Proverb. A veteran hunter who has spent many years among the Indian tribes in the far Canadian West, speaks in- terestingly of some wise sayings cur- rent among the dusky dwellers in the woodland. One of their proverbs is particularly valuable, because it cor- rects an ungenerous and too-often quotel proverb among civilized white people. When cruel gossip has caused a lot of talk about some person, we have heard the speech, "There is no smoke without fire."' This has been the crutch on which many untrue statements have gone on their blight. ing way... An ill-report against an innocent person has frequently been keps alive by this proverb. Now the Indians, who keep a keen eye on the forest and pessess much knowledge about the elements that town dwellers never aéquire, say, in their own terse manner, "Little fire, big smoke," and then apply this in their dealings with one another. It is a physical fect that slow burning green or wit wood prosuces volumes of dense smoke, while dry wood burn- ing with a large blaze emits very lit- tle smoke. Would not the Indian use of this fact in making a proverb be a wiser and kinder one for us to adopt? Daring Naturalists. Among' naturalists who have risk- ed their lives to secure a photograph of a charging wild beast are Mr. Ei- ward Preble and Mr. Ernest Thomp- son Seton, who recently journeyed to the Great Slave Lake. The party sighted a musk ox, a big, shaggy brute, with wicked red eyes. "Now," said Mr. Preble to Mr. Seton, "if you'll touch the button, I'll do the rest. He stepped forward, rifle in hand, and Mr. Beton followed with the camera. The moment the musk ox saw them, down he came. The plucky men waited till he was | hen the camera | peri Bing Vind and plasters, but nothing seemed *o do | within fifty yards. hegan. to elick Preble's rifle spoke.
