ployed at the new water works plant,
at Columbia, was accidentally drown.

Holroyd, then on duty at the plant,
started to walk to the filter house
along the narrow ledge, which, though
not intended for a walkway, has been
used as such. This ledge is. only a
few inches wide and it is presumed
that Holroyd missed his balance or
had all attack of vertigo.
He fell in without any outcry, and
made scarcely any struggle after go

Hudson Bay Route to Europe.

The Canadian Government and
people are greatly interested by the
possibility of q short haul of Canadian
grain to Hudson Bay, whence it could
be taken to Europe by ship. The al
tentative routes all involve either
long railroad hauls or combined
railway haul and long steamboat
carriage down the lakes.
The Dominion Government has
just published description of the
cruise of the Neptune to gain infor-
nation as. to the possibilities of a
northern route as an outlet for the
grain crop.
The conclusion is that Hudson
Strait is navigable for ordinary iron
steamships from July 20 to November
/, and this period may be increased,
without much risk, by week in the
beginning of the season and by per-
haps two weeks at the close. The
same dates apply to the navigation of
Hudson Bay from the strait to Fort
Churchill.
Fort Churchill is practically the
only available harbor as terminus
for railways from the Northwest or
from Ontario, if the proposal to ex-
tend the Government railways to tide
water is carried out.
The Hudson Bay route would save
1000 miles in transportation, writes
Consul Seyfert from Collingwood, be-
sides considerable amount of delay
and handling which now take place
in the transportation of grain from
Fort William to the seaboard.
The report points out that the
question of grain storage presents no
real difference, because not twenty
per cent. of the grain at present
reaches the seaboard before the navi-
cation of the year following that in
which it is haryested.-New York

ARBOR DAY ANNUAL ISSUED.
Advice Regarding ee-Planting Sent to the.
Schools.

New York City.-The Arbo- Day .
annual for Friday, May 8, has been:
sent out to the schools of the Statel
by the Education Department at Al.
bany. The pamphlet is illustrated, j
some of the cuts showing how t1ei
happy natural location OF country
schoolhouse may be improved by sys-l
tematic planting.
A letter from A. S. Draper, Com;
missioner of Education, to the schools
is contained in the annual, and there
are chapters on trees and shrubs for
school grounds, the forests Of New
York, and a description Of the Fair,
view Garden School at Yonkers. mi
discussing tree-planting, the annual
says: 81;
During the past eleven years there's
have been planted on the school!
grounds of the State of New York
1859 trees. From the establish
ment of Arbor Day. in 1889 until
1896 there were planted 14a,241sll
trees, making a total in the past,
eighteen years Of 1920. There are
over 10000 school commission dis
tricts in the State. This would give
more than thirty trees to every dis
trict if they were proportionately dis
tributed. ,s 3
"Since the establishment Of Arborl
Day practically every district has at
one time or another reported the
planting of some trees. An inquiry
recently addressed to the school con-S
missioners revealed the fact that
there are over 1000 districts In the
State with absolutely no trees or
shrubs on their school grounds, and
many others with only a few strag-j
Cling trees. Further than that, vi
very small per cent. Of the whole,
number of districts give any sort OF
attention to the care Of their grounds
Apparently, there is more need
for the care Of trees and shrubs than
there is for actual planting. 1T tsj

the teacher finds no, practical rle-I

1T ought to be understood by
school officers everywhere that mere
Sentiment will not arouse the patrons
of a school district to beautify their
school grounds. The whole matter
must in some way be put before them
on plain: business basis: They must
see that it pays, as in the end it most
certainly does, to paint the school,
house whenever it needs it, to plant
and care for trees and shrubs about
the grounds, and give theiwhole place

Mrs. Simonds to Wed.

An engagement of much interest in
society circles in Charleston and a
number of other cities is that of Mrs.
Daisy Simonds, of Charleston, ana
Barker Gummere, of Trenton, n j.
The marriage will probably take place
next June. The engagement is said
to be very romantic, Mrs. Simonds
having met Gummere some time ago
on a cruise to Panama and the West
Indies on the steamer Bluecher, on
which Speaker Cannon and party also
travelled. Wagers were laid at inter
walls on the steamer as to the appear
ance of Gummere with Mrs. Simonds,

Value Of Arbor Day-0Ver
100000 Trees Plaatsd

Albany, N. Y.-Arbor Day has q
two-sided value. It teaches to chill
dren love of nature and OF natures
handiwork, the tree, and in the ac-3
companying feature of the observance
of the day-the planting OF trees-it
replenishes the stock of trees, which
for mans use or misuse, has been
sadly depleted. It has added to the
State over 100000 trees, While this
is scarcely corporal's guard to the
grand army of trees which has ruth,
lessly been cut down, still it is some
thing-an accomplishment that has q
distinct value.

Operator Used His Pistol.

In quarrel at Greenville Ben Col

other operator. Colbert covers the
night trick and Stokes the day job.
1t appears that the men became
involved in difficulty as to whose
duty it was to go on duty at certain
hour.
Stokes was shot in the arm and was
not seriously injured. Colbert says he

| late are the Bounties, lying in forty
eight degrees south, 17s degrees
west. Not vestige of vegetation or
blade of grass is to be found from one
end of these barren penguin rookeries
to the other, so that, but for the Gov
ernment depots. the lot of any un-
| fortunates wrecked upon them would
be hapless indeed.
We arrived at the Bounties after
| q stormy passage, but could not make
landing owing to the heavy surf
beating on the iron-bound coast. 1t
was just about the breeding season
| for the penguins, bat there wac no
sign Of one to be seen or heard. Be-
ing unable to land, we put to sea to
dodge about till calmer weather
came. Two days later we made the
islands .-gain. The penguins hac ar
rived, and the rocks were literally
swarming with them. Whence had
they come, and where had they got
into such fat, fine condition? Had
they come from some unknown lands
beyond the Great Ice Belt? Nature
holds the secret. But as suddenly as
they came, so, when the breeding sea-
son is over, in day they are all gone
whittier no man Knows.
The Macquarie Islands, which are
Tasmanian territory, lie in fifty-eight
degrees south, 161 degrees west
roughly, 700 miles south of New Zea-
land. On arriving at the remote
group we had the satisfaction of res
cuing the shipwrecked crew of the
schooner Gratitude, of New Zealand.
During a succession Of adverse gales
the Gratitude was carried down to
the Macquarie ISLANDS and stranded
on it's inhospitable shore, where she
now lies. 1t was indeed lucky thing
for the crew of six men that the YES
sci did not go ashore about 200 yards
farther south-on the three pinnacles
of rocks known as the Needles s"-as
should they by any chance have
there would in all likelihood have
been no one left to tell the tale; and
scrambled ashore there, they would
certainly have died of starvation long
before our arrival, as there were no
store depots on the Macquarie Islands
at that time.
The poor fellows had been on the
island about seven months, and I
shall never forget their wild excite
ment as our whaleboat neared the
shore and they realized that after
the weary months of heart-breaking
anxiety and suspense their dreary i'm
prisonment was at last at an end. I
was the first to speak to them, but
for some time they could not find
their tongues, they were so oyerjoyed.
I made an inspection of the mouldy,
decayed provisions saved from the
wreck-on which they had been
eking out existence-and also the
huts they had built with timbers from
their ship, and I shuddered to think
what their fate would have been If
we had not visited the islands. The
loneliness of this inaccessible group
has a depressing effect upon one, and
was as thankful as the castaways
were to see the Macquaries sink be-
low the horizon and feel our gallant
little ship riding over the mountain
Gus waves with a hurricane roaring
behind Us. After three months toss
ing about on our errand of mercy we
were homeward bound again, having
had the good fortune to rescue some
of our fellow-creatures from staTva-
tion and lingering death on the
lonely isles of the Southern Ocean,

Arbor Day to teach children to plant

teach them-and adults, TOTO

to regard avoidable mutilation ofsa q
tree as a crime and to exercise Ger

harm and in promoting their SYM

most favorable circumstances, life in

If their life there is to be prolonged
and is to be made profitable as q

they will need all the aid and protec-
