canadian indian in fiction a number ot canadian writers have recognized the unique artistic and dramatic effects to be derived from in dian life fortunately none of them has written a hiawatha that is to say the canadian indian has not been conventionalized and idealized into an epic hero mildly allegorized the canadian indian has various qualifica tions for appearing in literature with out being elaborated into a coppercol ored aeneas or prometheus or a solar deity for one thing the indian myth ology product of naive minds in close contact with primitive nature at her wildest and grandest has literary value sometimes quaint and some times impressive again the indian character ranging from its merely physiological aspects endurance keenness of sensory perceptions and iso on up to its more complex ming ling of dignity courage and fierce savagery is full of dramatic elements displayed to the fullest effect against the background ot eventful life on the prairie mountain and river finally there is the tragedy which inexitably followed his contact with the white invader tho impulse to study the indian in the flesh and not fancifully did not come first through literature but through painting the adventurous artist paul kane showed the inex haustible fund ot picturesque scene and incident provided by the indians of tho plains he and his successor edmund morris have left on canvas invaluable records ot the red man as ho was while some of his fading glory survived while in poetry canada has no hia watha in prose sho has a last of the mohicans indeed richardsons jyacousta

interesting facts of birdlife finder of missing men mr and mrs harry woodruff had been two days away from home on their automobile tour when mr woodruffs mother passed away very suddenly the road from sarnia to quebec has many turnings and where and how mr wood ruffs younger brother was to locate the tourists quickly was the question by professor julian huxley in the strand magazine man happens to be the most success ful of a whole series ot diverse and fascinating experiments to deal with tho problems ot the world but we are not thereforo the most beautiful or the most ingenious birds branched oft from reptiles somewhere about a hundred million years ago and were remodelled for flight so that thfiir fprelimh was irre vocably converted into a wing they clung obstinately to one important character ot their reptilian ancestry the shelled egg and thus debarred themselves from ever being born into twentyone long distance telephone calls to fourteen points on their supposed route were necessary before mr and mrs woodruff were found the time lost and the distance away meant that they arrived home in barely time for the funeral had they thought to inform the home folks each day by long distance of their itinerary much of the time and worry of locating them would have been saved nowadays there is no point so remote that telephone service will not reach the missing party all that is needed and that at little expense is to regularly keep in touch by long distance telephone the world at such an advanced state cruelty nor malice aforethought it is of development as is possible to

engaged the attention of the french scientist lavastine wo are told in the neues wiener journal henna we read on the strength of carefully collect ed statistical material lavastine has come to the conclusion that the pre- domvjjnt majority of deaths occur at bight most people die during the time of sleep between seven oclock in the evening and six in the morning more rarely death occurs in the hours which man usually spends awake thus la vastine observed last year that in the hospital under his direction about 120 patients died at night whereas ac cording to tho records only sixtyeight deaths occurred in the daytime it is interesting that the french scientist although he expressly em phasizes his rejection of astrology traces this back to cosmic influences still unknown to us moreover he has concerned him self with the problem ol the hour of birth and has collected extensive ma terial from the memoranda ot parisian hospitals for women here too it may be proven from statistics that the number of births in nighttime is much larger than by day mexican home dish declared to be importation mexico city chile con carne as it is known in tho united states is not a

other higher mammals in respect of their minds just as much as their bodies birds have de veloped along other lines than mam mals mammals have gradually per fected intelligence and the capacity for learning by experience and the power and fixity of the instincts have diminished birds have kept instinct as the mainstay ot their behaviour and while they possess some intelli gence it is used merely to polish up the outfit of inherited instincts the front part of their brain known to be the seat of intelligence and learning remains relatively small while other parts known to be the regulating ma chinery for more automatic and emo tional actions are in birds relatively larger than in fourfooted creatures perhaps the most obvious way in which birds differ from men in their behaviour is that they can do all that they have to do including some quite complicated tilings- without ever be- ing taught flying for instance with i all its complexity ot balance and aero nautical adjustment comes untaught young birds very frequently make their first flight when their parents are out of sight the stories o old birds teaching their young to fly seem all to be erroneous some kinds of birds once their young are full- fiedged do try to lure them away from the nest but this is merely to encour age them to take the plunge there is no instruction by the old bird and no conscious imitation by the young still more wonderful is it that a bird should be able to build its nest un taught young birds mating for the first time can make perfectly good nests and nests of tho usual type found among their particular species some people suggest that the young when the fostermother comes home she is not distressed in the least but sets about at once feeding the change ling and paying no attention to her own offspring even though some of them may be dangling just outside the nest even when the young cuckoo grows into a creature entirely different from its fosterparents and so bulky that they have to perch on its head to feed it the older birds do not seem disconcerted as human beings cer tainly would the wellknown brokenwing trick is usually set down as a remarkable example ot intelligence but all the evidence points to this too as being merely instinctive a trick not invent ed by the individual bird but patented by the species it is in tact on a par with tho purely automatic shamming dead which many insects practice and is the inevitable outcome of the animals nervous machinery when it is stimulated in a particular way lie ides instinctive actions we could multiply instances of unintelligent be haviour among birds if a strange egg is put among a birds own eggs the mother may either accept it or intelli gently turn it out of the nest and con tinue to sit but a quite common re action is for it to turn the strange egg out and then desert the nest but because birds are mainly in stinctive- and not intelligent in their actions it does not follow that their minds are lacking in intensity or variety in fact they experience a wide range of powerful emotions there is an intense satisfaction in brooding and feeding its young whero there is danger birds suffer very real fear in song the bird gives vent to a deep current of feeling the emotions aroused during their courtship display often make them oblivious of danger plant life is forever thirsty by dr d t macdougal in the scientific monthly august 1931 the fundamental thirst ot living matter has laid the foundation of wars between peoples and has been the cause ot racial migrations affecting civilization in the profoundest manner the water problems of a city of over a million people in one american state have recently led to the expropriation and assignment of the water on one of the largest rivers and a controversial discussion by the people of seven states occupying an area of half a mil lion square miles it is highly prob able that among the earliest agree ments between family or tribal groups were those as to the shared use ot limited supplies of water plant life especially is forever thirsty and when active continually takes in and loses water the growing substance in

gulls on brllliantlne tins and penguins on lumps of ico contrary to general opinion birds have no real affection for their young they havo a strong emotional irra tional concern not entwined with rea son memory personal affection and foresight when a nestling dies there is no sign of sorrow although there may be somo agitation if a whole brood is stolen when a chick be comes ill it is definitely neglected it would seem that the bird is only im pelled to parental action when there is somo activity like gaping or squawking on the part of the children perhaps tho familiar cuckoo pro vides us with tho complctest proof of the dissimilarity ot birds minds with our own a young cuckoo having been deposited as an egg in the nest of somo other nulto different species of j bird and having hatched

front and tho other stealing behind to tweak its tail but being without tho power of con ceptual thought birds still differ in a fundamental way from ourselves their emotion is not linked up with tho future or with the past as in tho human mind their fear is just fear it is not the fear ot death nor can it anticipate pain nor become an ingredi ent ot a lasting complex they can not worry or torment themselves the bird mother is not concerned with tho fate of an individual offspring and when tho young grow up and her inner physiology changes there is no intel lectual framework making a continu

in water until it rises to the brim water is similarly placed among the ultimate strands or par ticles of protoplasm which unlike the wood fibres adhere by their poles like fragments ot magnetized iron these molecular clumps or strands unlike the vood fibres also bind the water in much the same way as they hold to each other so that it does not run out freely when the water is forced out by
