She---I =m afraid I'd havo trotfblel J'n- exchan-gin-g you. The escape of urine from the navel is a somewhat common abnormal` condition met with, particularly in foals. It is termed. technically Per- sistent or Previous Urachus, and pop- ularly known as "Leaky Navel." [1 results frdm the persistence. or non- closure at birth, of the urine duct. 01 the navel. Cause of the Trouble. During the early period of life, be- fore the time of birth, the bladder is prologed forward by a tube or canal termed the Urachus, which extends down and passes through the navel opening in the floor of the belly, and forms part of the navel cord and con- nects the bladder with the outer Water Bag," or Allantoic Sac. At birth, when the navel cord is severed. this tube (the Urachus) should then become closed and obliterated. It, however, sometimes happens that it and still remains patent; hence the urine continues to escape and ow : through this pre-natal channel. in- 1 does not become completely closed 1 1 I 1 stead of being discharged through * the natural urine passage. This: condition of patency and discharge l of urine through this abnormal chan- ` , nel keeps the skin surrounding the` ` navel in a moist and soiled condition.` and affords-a favorable means for contamination and the development` of disease germs. It therefore fre- quently happens that this condiiton gives rise to, and is complicated with. other affections of the foal, such as Joint ll, the causative germs of which ar afforded a ready means of entrance, while the leaky condition oi` the navel persists to pre- vent the early closing and drying up of the navel. I ., _ l bymptmns. ] V1`1.:.. --...x:a_-__. _-, VI .4, ...,..v....,. 1 This condition is usually mani- fested '21 few days after birth by the wet and soiled condition of the skin around the region of the navel. On examination the urine is seen to be dribbling from the navel. In some cases only small quantities of urine; may be escaping, while in other caseat the. entire contents of the bladder: may be passed in a stream at each time of urination. It appears to oc- cur more frequently in male foztlst, than in females. When it persistsi for a time, infection may take pI3.CE .i and the navel then becomes iuamerl: and swollen and pus or matter may! form.

The most popular mountain from an Al inist's point .of View is Arrowsmith. It is about six t ousand feet high, and to reach it one travels by one of the most magnicent scenic railways on the continent. There is a diversity of country all along the hundred miles from Victoria to Parkesville.` Purkesville is on the east coast of the Island. and Victoria. situated at the extreme - south of the lsland is the starting point for the journey. One of the first summits to he crossed is that of the splen- did Maluhat. about fteen hundred feet above the sea. Here, from the "Lookout." one looks. down on a wonder- ful pamorznnu of gzreen-emlmwered hills, narrow winding waterways, the wide stretch of the sea itself and the Olymptic mountains on the l\l:iinland in their dazzling dress of ice and snow. After crossing the .\l:1lahat there are miles along the shores of the salt water, quick `passage-s through picturesque villages and towns, journey- mgs zmiong s\\'eetscente(l woods which are zilwuys gay with flowers.
