UNKNOWN CANADA.
OmciaI of That Country Declares
That Fully One-Third of Do
miniOn Is UnexpIOred.

The director of the geological sur
vey of Canada, in his last report,
makes the amazing statement shat
practically nothing is known of one
third of the Dominion. So states
United States Consul Seyfert, at
Stratford, in a report to the state
department.
1t is shown that more than mil
lion and quarter square miles of
Canadian territory is as yet uneX-
plored. This includes the inhospita-
BILE detached Arctic portions, but
aside from these fully $4,000 square
miles are for all practical purposes
entirely unknown. The easterly area
contains the greatest extent of uneX-
plored territory. 1t comprises almost
the entire interior of the Labrador
peninsula. The indications are, says
Consul Scyfert, that during the next
five years at least 5000 miles of new
railroad will be completed through
out the Dominion, most of which will
run through the uneXplored wilder
ness, as it is recognized that railroads
are primarily essential to the open
ing up of this vast territory. The
mineral wealth of this region is said
TO be undoubtedly immense, while
the dense forests of hard wood when
brought to the markets of the world
are expected to become source of
large profit.

NEARLY KILLED By Al SWAN.
Mischievous child Beaten Into fn-
sensibility and Dragged 0ut
20 Deep water.

Harry Corson, mischievous four
year, old, was in Loring park at Min
neapols, Mimi, with his grandfather,
who generally looks after the little
fellow. Harry, sturdy little chap
was especially delighted with the
swans. The child was playing with
them, having much amusement watch
ing them sail around and poke their
long neclls over the edge of the gravel
beach After awhile he began pelting
the swans with sticks, they venturing
close, not fearing the attack.
Suddenly the largest swan rufiled
his feathers, and, mad with rage, made
dash aad seized the child in its
strong beak. Harry struggled for an
instant, but, strong as he was, the
huge bird splashed its wings in tho
water, throwing up water in its rage,
and with swift and sure strokes
dragged the child out into the water
toward the center of the lake. The lit
tie fellow was too frightened to make
further outcry, and for moment the
onlookers were paralyzed at what
seemed to be an impending tragedy.
The swan had become thoroughly
enraged and was evidently attempt
iny to drown the child. Twice the lit
tie body was forced under the water
by the strong neck of the bird, and be-
fore rescuers had reached the pair
they were 20 feet out from shore.
Even then the maddened bird strng-
gled with the men, reluctant to give up
the fight, and blow was necessary to
make it release the child. The little
fellow was carried to the Office of 6
physician, where he was restored to
consciousness.

the game was a tie, the score being 8

the tie and in the last half of the tenth
the students earned run, thus winning
