UNEMPLOYED AMERICA.
Vast Tracts of Northwestern Territory
Still Awaiting the Dlscoverer.


OF Ontario's area, estimated at 200,-
900 square miles, 100, 900 square miles
are in All unknown region, only the
edges Of which have been explored. This
is the territory known as the Hinterland
Of Ontario. 1t lies between Lakes Huron
and Superior to the south and the Albany
river and James bay to the north. In
this vast area is the Height Of Land,
which separates waters flowing to Hud-
gon bay tHom the streams emptying into
the st. Lawrence and the lakes, North
Of the Height is what is called the Hud-
son bay slope, consisting Of about 80, 600
square miles. This slope may be describ'
ed as unknown land
The Height Of Land is not ridge of
hills, but is level plateau some 1900
or /, 300 feet above the sea. "The seen
cry" says "a surveyors report, though
diversified by hundreds of rivers and
streams, thousands Of lakes and innu-
merable crags and hills of rock, is certain
ly lacking in that nobility and largeness
of view which only the presence of lofty
mountains can bestow." OF the rivers
flowing north from this slope the AL
bany is the most important, being about
475 miles long and navigable during the
season of high water for $50 miles. Of
the short slope south Of the Height Of
Land, in which are situated the settle
ments of North Bay, Sturgeon Falls and
Sudberry, there is definite and general
knowledge, but the whole territory slop-
ing north remains unexplored.
The Hinterland is Ontario's reserve.
Much valuable timber in this region is
destroyed by fires that sweep south Of
the watershed. Pine, spruce, tamarack,
poplar and cedar are varieties Of wood
existing III abundance south of the Hud-
son bay slope. Here, too, are valuable
but the treasures hidden in
the region north of the plateau and the
resources Of the high plane itself await
the searching of some intrepid explorer.
Meanwhile no adventurous spirit need
resign itself to obscure inactivity nor
traveller sigh because there are
not new countries to traverse. The Hin
terland will reward the eager discoverer,
and when he has exhausted that territory
Labrador, Newfoundland, the Northeast
territory and regions Of the great north
west remain unsurveyed. Winnipeg

Stove Colors.

In view Of the fact, says an Austria
Hungarian journal, that black iron
stoves do not in all cases suit room
which is painted in light colors, and Of
the attempts made unsuccessfully to
use upon them water glass paint, Herr
Kratzer, Leipsio chemist, has been
experimenting in this direction with
very satisfactory results. The colors, he
finds, may be blue white, borium sui
phate, zinc white, borium chromate,
yellow ocher, uranium oxide, green
chromium oxide, cobalt green, green
ultramarine, ultramarine blue, cadmium
oxide for yellow brown, English red OF
caput mortuum for brown, brown oxide
of manganese, burned terra di siena,
red iron colors, chrome red. These are
to be mixed with warm soft water, dis
titled or rain, and diluted 33 degrees
or sulphur free water glass. Thus one
part of water glass may be mixed with
two of warm soft water, and one part
of bronze powder be worked up with so,
by weight, of the diluted water glass.
1t may be necessary to give the color a
thorough preliminary wetting with very
soft water, particularly if the color be
an earthly one, and the better this is
done the better will the color mix with
the water glass, but no more color
should be mixed than can be used with
in two to four hours. The iron should
be perfectly free from grease and rust,
and should be treated with a scratch
brush-then three coats, at 10 hour in
teryals.

mentioned that during one Of his pas

THE FACE IN ILLNESS.

To the Trained Eye 1t Quickly Shows q
Patients Condition.
The face is good index to the state
Of ones physical being, and from it
symptoms of disease can be detected al
most before the patient is aware that
anything serious is the matter with him.
For instance, incomplete closure Of the
eyelids, rendering the whites of the eyes
visible during sleep, is a symptom in
all acute and chronic diseases of a Sc
we're type. 1t is also to be observed
when rest is unsound from pain wher-
ever seated.
Twitching of the eyelids, associated
with the oscillation of the eyelids, or
squirting, heralds the visit of convul-
sions
Widening of the orifces of the nose,
with movements Of the nostrils to and
fro, point to embarrassed breathing from
disease Of the lungs Or their plural in
vestment.
Contraction Of the brows indicates
pain i'll the head. Sharpness of the nos
trils, pain in the chest and drawn up
per lip, pain in the abdomen.
To make a general rule, it may be
stated that the upper third of the face is
altered in expression in affections of the
brain, the middle third in the diseases
of the organs contained in the abdom-
inal cavity. Trained Nurse.

A correspondent of sportsman s pa
per declared recently, "There is little
sport to be had in hunting foxes in Tex
as, because they climb trees in 10 Or 20
minutes after the dogs start them" The
foxes in England are often driven to the
trees by the eager dogs, but they do not
climb in the sense that squirrel or bear
does. They jump to the lower branches
OF the trees and by their aid work them
selves up to the top branches. A fox can
get into tree that is no higher than 8
feet to the lower branches, and it is
probably by jumping that the Texas fox
gets into the trees.
