For over two hour at the Presbyter

delightful and perfect music. ever
heard in Trinidad Senior Ruiz is not
only the master violinist but he is al

trees are mostly of a uniform size and
height. the surface of the snow is
perfectly level. and at times our route
lies miles through such country, and
should there be dull leaden sky, or a
gentle snow falling there is nothing
for the guide to depend on but his
ability to walk straight.
1t has. been written time and again
that the tendency, when there are no
landmarks, is to walk in circle.
By constant practice those who are
brought up in the wilds acquire the
ability to walk in a straight line. They
begin by beating a trail from point
to point on some long stretch of ice,
and in the bush, where any tree or OBJ
struction bars the way, and make up
for any deviation from the right
course by. give take process, so
that the general line of march is
straight. ft.d.4s H IL
During 40 years in the country
never knew an Indian or white BUSH
man to carry a compass Apart from
a black spruce swamp it would be no
use whatever
In going from one place to another
the contour of the country has to
considered, and very frequently the
longest way around is the shortest
way home" A ridge of mountains
might lie between the place of start
ing and the objective point and by
making detour round the spur, one
would easier reach his destination
rather than to climb up one side and
down the other. .t
If l were to tell you as a fact that
when a bushman sees the track Of
some wild animal in the snow he can
tell you not only the name of the an
imal but if it was male or female,
within the hour of the time the tracks
were made, if it was calm or blowing
and the direction of the wind at that
time, and many other minor things.
