Fired by the ambition to cross this pass, I set out one day last summer, with two guides, ten ponies and camp- ing outfit and supplies for six or seven days. Jim \Brewster sent these over from Banff to Invermere at the head- waters of the Colffnbia Valley, where I had promised to wait for them. Close to Invermere are the remains of Kootenai House, an outpost of the Nor West Trading Company estab- lished by David Thompson in 1808. Now there is - a comfortable little tourist hotel, much appreciated by motorists who use the excellent Gov- ernment road through the Upper Columbia Valley. On our first day's ride we stopped oft for a swim at the hot radium-water springs of Sinclair Canyon, where St. John ~ Harmsworth, brother of the famous Lord Northcliffe, and himself proprietor of the still more famous Perrier water, built a concrete bath- its naturally warm water out of in a homesteader's cal e ownel of which was away at the war and hospitable enough to leave the latch 'loose. Next day we were in the forests of the Kootenay--a wonderful resort we saw and the animals we even met '--two black bear 'and a deer on the trail with moogé paths worn deep like ws beside the river. The Kootenay River had a rather tation. Two ies were ay in the gttempt make" the crossing at the same time last year, 'and we ourselves had been warned tpone our trip. However, we Bi oes where we did not even have to swim our "horses, and next day were on the banks of the Vermil- | which. Atselr "is fed from the nielting S THE ROCKIES glaciers of the snow-clad Rockies high above. At least one cyclone seemed to have swept down its valley, and the river itself had washed away several corners so-that our trail had to be made, or found anew on many a mile, "About seven hours of hard work brought us to the height of land, the hinge as it were between the eastern and western waters. We breakfasted on the level isthmus, which did not exceed fourteen paces in width, filling our kettles for this one lonely meal at once from the crystal sources of the" Columbia and the Saskatchewan, while these willing feeders of two op- posite oceafis, murmuring over their beds of mossy stones, as if to bid each other a long farewell, could hardly fail to attune our minds to the sublimity of the scene. "But between these kindred foun- tains, the common progeny of the same snow wreaths. there was this remarkable difference of temperature that the source of the Columbia showed 40 degrees, while that of the Saskatchewan raised the mercury to 63% degrees, the thermometer mean- while striking as high as 71 degrees in the shade. "From the vicinity of perpetual snow, we estimated the elevation of the height of land to be seven or eight thousand feet above the level of the sea, white the surrounding peaks ap- peared to rise nearly half that alti tude above our heads." We ourselves found the snow all gone and our horses found sweet and ample pasture on an® Alpine meadow. As we lookéd back from the Great Divide upon the mountains of the Sel- kirks, we had as fine a panorama as any artist could desire--rugged out. lines capped and fringed with perpet. ual snow. The fishing, I may say in passing, which one gets on such a trip, is of the very best. Every creek, every pool seems to be stocked with trout, all inquisitive about the nature of the fiy. Brown Hackle and Gray Hackle are always deadly. The red flies such as Parmachene Belle do not seem to take so well in these waters. There were both 'Dolly Varden and Steel head to our credit on the Simpson, averaging a little, over a pound.

The sergeant major had the repu- tation of never being at a loss for an answer. A young officer made a bet with a brother officer that he would in less than twenty-four hours ask the sergeant major a question that would baffle him. The sergeant major accompanied the young officer on his rounds; in the course of which the cookhouse was inspected. Pointing to a large kettle of water just commencing to boll, the officer said: "Why does that water only boil round the edge of the copper and not in the centre?" "The water around the edges, sir," replied the veteran, "is for the men on guard; they have their breakfast half an hour before the remainder of the company." ml remanent Minard's Liniinent Relieves Neuralgia. Oi FIGHTING LONDON FOGS New Invention Will Aid in Discovery of Adequate Means. Efforts to find a means of clearing. the air of fogs have been advanced considerably by the production of an apparatus which, it is claimed, mea- sures exactly the constituents of fog.
