PECULIAR CHARM OF
THE PICTURESQUE
STREETS q SQUARES

modern warfare in which an equally
small number of troops were engaged,
was so far-reaching in its results, and
better deserves the much-abused cpl
thet-epoch-making
Capture of Quebec.
A book just published-'.The Life of
Marquis Townshend," one of Wolfe's
three brigadiers-has thrown some
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 a few miles above the
fortress, in order to cut Montcalm on
from his base of supplies at Montreal,
was, it 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
Darison.
This historic battlefield has recent
ly been purchased from the Ursu1ine
convent by the dominion government
for $50, 900 and has been handed over
to the city of Quebec as public park

A CURIOUS THEORY.

Lake wetten and Baden Sea May Have
Underground Connections.
Lake Wettern, one of the links In the
waterway between Stockholm and
Gothenburg, is a beautiful sheet of
water, lying in the center of a group
of lofty hills, and is noted for several
remarkable peculiarities, says the Chi
cago Record-Herald There is no bot
tom at one p1ace-at least, none has
ever been found-and a belief widely
prevails that it is connected by an
underground passage with the BOden
Sea in Switzerland. 1t is asserted that
when there is a storm on one of these
lakes the other is agitated, and then
when the water in one is low the same
conditions exist in the other. There is
also a story that corpses in Swiss cos
tune have come to the surface on Lake
Wettern, and that bodies of men who
have been drowned in Wettern have
been recovered in the Boden See. 9th
er evidences are found in the occasion
al appearance of timber and vegeta-
ton that does not grow in this local
ity, but is common to Switzerland.
Scientific men, however, dispute the
theory and ridicule the stories that are
told by the peasants. 1t is admitted,
however. by every one that the ex-
traordinary phenomena of mirage have
frequently been observed upon Lake
w ettern, so much so as to attract the
observations of the entire population
for miles around, creating consterna-
ton among the ignorant peasants and
awe and wonder among all thoughtful
people. Marching armies of cavalry,
infantry and a. tillery, with banners and
g1ittering weapons have appeared upon
the surface of the lake; churches, pal
aces, castles and ships have been seen
to rise from the water and remain in
view for hours; caravans of camels
have crossed from shore to shore with
in full view of multitudes of people in
their right minds and without ordinary
superstitions.

When morning dawned. Montcalm,
who had ridden hurriedly from Quebec,
found himself confronted by the thin
red line of Wolfe's little army of 1000
men drawn up in battle array. The
actual battle-the shortest on record
in modern times-lasted barely fifteen
minutes, and might be told, aptly re-
marks the author of Deeds That Won

plan of the battle curiously recalls the
last phase of Waterloo. The French
advanced unchecked till within forty

were thrown into confusion by a we'll

Wolfe ordered a general advance, and

war by the duke of Cornwall on Sept
II could well have been chosen.
Quebec is not exactly a 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 tho 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
pane is not, however, supported by
historical 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 numerous towers and spires shin
ing like silver in the clear atmosphere
and bright sunshine and giving a sug-
gestion of oriental splendor and color
to the city.
