In these days when Of the beginnings Of

varied in tone and seriously reflective

golf journals. magazines OF yachting, sheets
devoted to hunting, fishing and racing. But
wider than all in interest are the pages
given in a general way to fresh air, the
mountains, the fields. the streams. the
lsthetics and economics Of country life.
These publications clarifying the out-of-

demand does not arise without a call OF the

'Purgatory.' a cave only a few miles from
this city. many of whose mysterious by
paths have yet to be explored, Is now at
tracing the attention Of scientists all over
New England because of the failure OF Miss
Lucia 8. Thompson of Boston. a we'll

cavern. Miss Thompson found herself I'M
able to proceed much beyond the entrance
to the cavern. as it was Ice bound.
No one has yet had the courage to pene-
trate the furthest depths of the cave. and
such an attempt Is admittedly fraught with
danger, for at its bottom Is an unexplored
Subterranean lake or river.
There are scarcely three months in the
year In which it Is possible to enter the
cave.
Miss Annie Peck, whose feats OF noun
tain climbing have given her, fame, will try

To Make Canada Pay.
OTTAWA Ont. September l0.-The gen.
eral opinion in official circles is that Can

to Japan for damages caused by the Van

that city. Regret Is expressed that the out
break should have taken place at a time
when the japanese immigration question
was all but solved between the govern
ments OF Canada and Japan. Mr.. r. W.
Scott, secretary of state. in an interview
said that the treaty between Canada and
Japan. ratified by the Canadian parlia-
ment at its last session. was perfectly clear
to the rights of the Japanese In Canada.
The treaty says:
The subjects of each of the two high
contracting parties shall have full liberty
to enter. travel or reside in any part of
the dominion and possessions OF the other
contracting party and shall enjoy full and
perfect protection for their persons and
property
The treaty was not adopted in a hurry"

Britain and Japan ten years before be

sideratiou before we adopted it. The oppo-
siton in parliament blamed us because we
did not become party to it earlier than
