Deep called to deep o'er a broad terrain, Where the shouting cataracts leap! And we felt the drawing of ,the main Where the sleep; We felt the pulsing of the tide, We hreathed the brine, And we saw majestic vessels ride On rivers fringed with pine, eddies swirl and 'We saw blue harbors filled with ships, From liney to schopner tramp, Till the masts were crowded at the slips, Like cedars in a swamp! While, mingling with the city's throng, The wide-eyed sailor rolled, And the strain of a merry sailor song Came hack from the days rf old, God left some minor work undone, Lest men should idle be, 80 we linked those mighty Lakes in one Great highway to the sea; The migrants came from the ends of the earth, . The Prairie lands were filled, And the yearning spaces of the North By a hardy race were tilled, We obeyed the beckoning of the dream, We followed the seaward call, And we harnessed the swift St, Lawrence stream, Where it plunges to Montreal! The gates of the East were opened wide i To all flags in peace unfurled-- To the ebb and flow of that living tide Which traffics around the world! --J.

Like so many of my girl friends here in New York, I just put a few dashes of Danderine on my brush each time I use it. That always gives new sparkle and life to my hair.

An eight pound baby, for instance, needs twenty-four ounces of fluid per pound of body weight. The amount of fluid ahsaorbed by a breast fed baby is best determined by weighing him before and after feeding for the whole day; and it is easily calculated for the bottle fed one. Then make up any defi- ciency with water. Giving baby sufficient water often relieves his feverish, crying, upset and restless spells. If it doesn't, give him a few drops of Fleteher's Castoria, For these and other ills of babies and children such as colie, cholera, diarrhea, gas on stomach, loss of sleep, underweight, ete., leading physicians say there's noth- ing so effective.

A. Dyce Snarpy, de- scribes his experiences in the Cam- eroons, West Africa, where he stud- fed the gorilla at close quarters. He has just returned to London, Following are exerpts from his ar- ticles: It may be true, as Sir Arthur Keith has said, that tha gorilla among anthropoid apes is the near- est relative of man, But if he is the mearest he is certainly not the dearest. He fis about the most vicious and danger- cus and altogether uupleasant of all the wild beasts of tropical Af- rica. He is rather like a srizzly bear, with arms so long that, with tucked up legs, he car swing his whole body along on them as if they were erntches He is perhaps the only beast which norma'ly attacks man on sight. A 1'>n as a rule will run away, but a gorilla takes the of- fensive--perhaps because he re- cognizes the distant relationship and scents a competitor for his harem! His harem usually consists of four to six females, whom he guards and watches day and night, He sends them up trees to sleep in heds made of branches and .eaves, but he himself always sleeps on the ground with his back against a trunk and his eye, s2 to speak, al- ways on the entrance to the upper apartments where his wives are re- posing, Has Terrible Roar When the male gerlila gets anx- ious or annoyed his roar is the most terrible of all jungle sounds. In the hills it can be heard for miles. The noise a lion can make Is noth- ing like so dreadful. But one can get used to it like everything else, (a villages. in gorilla country even the children seem to take little notice of the noise, while one's carriers, vhe in my case were aiways from the low country, when first they hzard the gorilla's distant roar simply drop- ped their loads and ran. Yet normally the gorilla is a vegetarian. He will attack and kill a man and, it is possihlz, eat some of the flesh, Lut it Is not nis nor- mal diet; he does not return to his kill, He prefers sugar canes. He 1s a horrible beast, with ter- ribly powerful finger: but, oddly enough, his thumb Is very ineffrc- tive, Tt is set so far hack on his hand that he cannot use it to grasp anything firmly--a fact for which many gorilla hunters have had reason to be thankful, Natives Eat Gorilins In the Cameroons gorilla hunt- ing is a fairly common occupation among the natives, In fact in some villages in the Manfe area every able-hodied man is a potential hunt- er, for the flesh of the gori'la is edible and highly esteemer, But it is always dangerous sport on ac- count hoth of the iramendous strength and agility cf the iecast and of his extzeme realiness to at- tack. It has been estimated that within tie broad tropical belt of Africa which stretches from Nigeria to Uganda there are altogether some timate is probably far too low. In mate is probably far too low, In the Manfe division of the Camer- yons with which I am familiar I made a rough census of the gorilla [poputation, and in an grea not much more than thirty miles square the figure I arrived at was between 180 and 230, ' Live In Families The gorilla ranges the forasts and mountains in small family 'gsroups--a large male with his wives and his unfl2dgeld offspring, perhaps eight or ten in 211. Bat they seem to keep to one area for years, and the iceal hunters can usually ocate the group thay are familiar with in a few hours, Twice, though with great reluctanee, they didi jthis for n°, , A mie gorilla way reach seven feet ip le ght apd weigh as much tp 420 pounds apd cyer more 420 pounds which he ean swing be- not hoist un s tres In the ease of the female the s ature is not usual- ly more than 4 feet or 4 feet 6 'nehes, and her weight not more than 140 or 170 pounds .. Great Protector of Wives The main apparent preoccypa- tion of the malg gorilla Is fighting for the continued possession of his wives, As the fam!'y party moves alopg through the forest, rarely! sleeping twice in the same spot, there is every night the business the fewer he keeps.

You may find chimp- anzee pesting in the treetops, but never gorillag Once I had matter. ' ven when they remain in the same spot for a few days they make fresh beds every might, sometimes even in the same trees as the night be- fore, but fin other forks. If a bed is occupied twice, that is only, as 3 rule, when ome of the wives has given birth to a baby gorilla. She may then stay im the same bed for two or three days. Die in Captivity Unfortunately it seems 'mpossi- ble for many people in Europe ever to see an adult gorilla for the few specimens that kave buum brousht to this countcy alive have quickly died. In youth gorillas are too delicate, too sensitive, too ..ow to react to profound changes in their environment; and they seem to re- quire the companionskin of at icast one sympathetic humar friend. So we cannot hope to make any close aegiantance with these re- puted cousins of oura ~ They will remain for most of us as mysters fous as they are certainly terrible. Have Terrific Strength They are terrible not merely he- eccuse of their appalling strength. They can bend the barrel of a shot gun with their hands and squeeze it flat with their teath, It is true the native weapon which 1s known as a "Dane" gun iz made out of six feet of gas pining, hut to make a sort of corkscrew of il, such as I have seen, would taka a strong man a long time even with che ald of powerful tools, Gorillas are reputed in some places to be harmless, hut to judge from what I have seen of tham in the Cameroon forests there is noc more dangerous amimals fn the bush. They may be our relations, but, if so, they are cirtainly rala- tions to be avoided, With a lion or an elephant one knows where one is. Bath can usually be fright ened away, and even the rhindceros and the bush cow are only danger- ous at times. But an angry gorilla, with Its enormous weight and strength and agility and its semi-human intelli- gence, is always an unpleasant beast to tackle. Once I was serl- ously threatened by a gorilla, but I liave not space here to say more thas that it was a most alarming eipe'.ence---~worse evan than get- ting in the track of a herd of ¢. arg. ing elephanis, ani much worse than aaving to foco an angry lion with a zood rifle, Will Tear a Mon to Ribbons I have cuilected a eomstderable tumber ou. gorilla gkulls and Ltnes and I certainly do nut mind confessing that . prefer a dead a rilla to a live coe, A really an- gry gorilla will telze a man and tear him into r.pbons in his rage, as a friend of mine dis:overed to Lis horror mans years aga ia the Tamfe area.
