WORLD MAKING.
Important Observations by
Prof. Ritch|ey Of Chicago.
They Tend to Substantiate the NebuIa

will make himself and the observatory
world famous.
The discovery in brief. is the proof OF
what is known as the nebula theory OF

that the solar system. ana even stan

fresh light on the plans which culmin-
ated in the capture of Quebec. The
transfer of the base Of operations from
Beaufort, some five miles below Que
bee, to a point few miles above the
fortress. in order to cut Montcalm of
from his base of supplies at Montreal,
was. 1t appears, the suggestion OF the
brigadiers. This was no doubt sound
generalship, but the actual plan of sur
prising the garrison by scaling the ap-
parently inaccessible cliffs was an in
spiration of General Wolfe alone and
was indeed a stroke of genius in COM
parison.
This historic battlefield has recent
ly been purchased from the Ursuline
convent by the dominion government
for $4,000 and has been handed over
to the city of Quebec as a public park
No more suitable parade ground for
the presentation of medals to the Ca
madam volunteers in the South African
war by the duke of Cornwall on Sept.
IL could well have been chosen.
Quebec is not exactly city for. sys-
tematic, specific sightseeing on the
orthodox lines of Baedeker or Murray.
The real sights are the picturesque old
streets and squares. the quaint mar
kets and street life generally. Indeed,
the peculiar charm of this romantic
city can only be fully realized by those
who stroll about observantly but leis-
urely, with no set plan or itinerary.
Striking Points of View.
Then one can hardly tire of the in
Vulnerable points of view. For the
most striking coup d'ael of Quebec we
must. however, cross the river to the
heights 'of Point Levitt says a writer
in The Queen. From here we can ap-
preciate better the picturesque effect
of this Canadian Gibraltar; the upper
town. a cluster of fine monumental
buildings studded with towers and
spires. perched on the summit of the
rocky promontory, whose cliffs seem
to rise sheer from the waters edge.
This striking situation gives some col
or to the fanciful derivation, Quel bee!
this, according to the popular legend,
being the exclamation of Jacques Car
ter's mariners on first catching sight
of this noble promontory in 1885. This
plausible theory of the origin of the
name is not. however. supported by
histoy ..l evidence, as the name of
Quebec was first given by Champlain
when he founded the settlement in
1908.
Owing to tin being largely used for
roofing the aspect OF the city from
Point Lewis is rendered additionally
striking. the high-pitched roofs and

THE BEAUTY OF
OLD QUEBEC

No city on the American continent
possesses in greater degree the In
dehnable quality OF charm than Que
bee, with its romantic history and its
quaint old-world atmosphere. The
historic grandeur OF the ancient capital
of New France exercises a peculiar fas-
cination on all visitors of imaginative
temperament Certainly Quebec. more
than any city in the western hemis-
phere, possesses that glamour OF old
association which illumines Athens.
Rome. Venice, and, indeed. most OF the
historic cities of Europe. II is em-
phatically a city that grows upon
one"
scene of woife's Victory.
The one place of supreme interest to
all Englishmen is the historic plateau
known as the Heights of Abraham.
just beyond the citadel, where, as Pitt
fclicitously expressed 1t, Wolfe with
a handful OF men, added an empire to

most or our soldiers cOnsluereu them

their company: and conducted, too,
with sublime daring in defiance of all
recognized rules of warfare. Every one
knows the moving story of the battle.
Indeed. one might almost say that the
immortal lines Of Gray have earned
greater fame through the oft-told in
cident of Wolfe, with a strange fore
boding Of his fate. quoting them to his
officers when drifting down the st.
Lawrence to engage in the desperate
adventure which must infallibly make
him or break him. for there could be
no middle course between an over
vhelming victory or crushing defeat
