UNKNOWN PARTS OF CANADA.
A Big Region of Country That Has
Never Been Explored.

From the Syracus" Post'Standard.
Charles A. Bramble, of Montreal, a
civil engineer employed by the Canad-
ian government in surveying uneX-
plored parts of the province of Que
bee, and now visiting this city talks
interestingly Of his explorations and
of the vast amount of game found.
During the past winter he traversed
from Alaska to Lake Teunscaminique.
$50 miles from ottawa. The work of
surveying the country is done mostly
in winter, but Mr.. Brambe intends
returning June /. He will spend the
summer in hunting as well as eXplos-
ing. He has been engaged in civil en-
gineering work in Canada for twenty
years, and says that civilization in
the northern part of Quebec has been
extended slowly. Dense forests of pine
and spruce are all that can be seen
and the land is not fit for farming.
Indians constitute the meager popu-
lation. They are harmless, half-breed
variety. and live peacefully, never
creating disturbance for the Canadian
government. There is a colony of En-
glishmen at the head of Lake Teun-
scaminique who devote themselves to
fishing and hunting. OF late during
the summer there have been hunting
parties in the region.
American spectators have leased
plots of timber land 100 miles square
| from the government. Mr.. Bramb!e
| says the pine has been found to be the
| best yet discovered for the manufac-
ture of pulp. A pulp mill is to be
| erected at Mattawa.
The climate is cold in winter and
warm in summer. Mr.. Bramble says
| for four seasons are about a week be-
hind those of this district. A person
| can live cheaply in the district, said
| the explorer. Moose is abundant,
| and the principal subsistence of the
natives. Wild ducks are undisturbed,
as they are too small game for the ma
tives.
| The Canadian government will send
| an expedition to the extreme northern
| part of the province next winter in
| search of minerals, because of recent
| discoveries by some of its engineers.
| 1t is thought that gold and diamonds
are to be had in the Hudson bay
| vicinity.
"There is a territory as large as
Ireland" said Mr.. Bramble, "in the
center of Canada that no civilized
man has ever explored, Nothing is
known of that part, even to whether
| 1t is inhabited. The Canadian govern
ment is working industrially In this
| direction, and has many engineers and
men engaged for the purpose"

At the Picnic Tomorrow.

At the William Connell Hose COM
panys picnic at Lake Ariel tomorrow,
there are several events scheduled to
take place, which, although not down
on the regular days programme, will
undoubtedly draw large crowds. The
first of these is a 10O-yards dash for a
purse of $50, between John Trester
and Elmer Hammond. Both men are
training hard for the event, and any
evening can be seen climbing South
Side hills to get their wind in good
order
The next event, which will be the
star one and prove the largest draw
ing card is a fat mans race, which
will be participated in by James, Kee-
ler James Durkin and Walter Riley,
The last mentioned is from Cohoes, n.
Y, and he says he is going to show
these Scrantonians how they run in
York state.
These events will prove star attrac-
tions, and no doubt will be witnessed
| by large crowd, anxious to see the
| fat men kill themselves.

DISINFECTIoN OF SLEEPING
ROOMS.


From the Philadelphia Record.
Prof. Konig of Gottingen, in a recent
article on this subject, says that at
one time, while he was practicing
medicine in Hanau, he suddenly dis
covered that his bed room was thick
ly inhabited by obnoxious insects. A
friend assured him that he could
easily get rid of the pests, and pro-
ceeded to fumigate the apartment
with corrosive sublmate. The success
of this measure was most gratifying,
and when the room was opened the
dead bodies of various kinds of in
seCts We're seen strewn about the
floor. This incident led the professor
to hope that the same means would
be effectual in destroying the infec-
tious elements of contagious diseases,
and a trial in private houses after
scarlet fever or measles, and In hos
pitfalls after erysipelas or pyaemia,
gave most satisfactory results. Since
adopting this method he has never
seen a second case Of contagious
disease which could be attributed to
infection remaining in the room in
which the patient had been confined.
The mode of procedure is very simple.
From one and a half to two ounces OF
corrosive sublimate are put on a plate
over a chatting dish, and then the VIM
dows and doors of the room are closed.
At the expiration of three or four
hours the windows are opened and the
apartment is thoroughly aired. The
person entering the room should take
the precaution to hold sponge or
cloth over the mouth and nose in order
not to inhale the vapor. The follow
ing day the windows are again closed.
and some sulphur is burned in order
to neutralize any of the mercurial
fumes which may linger about the
furniture and other articles. The room
should then be again aired and cleaned
when II will be readY for oCcnnancY.
