There are no timepieces in the

was quite opposed to them. He had

as he said, to idleness. He considered
that a man should work by his con-
science, sir, and not by the clock,-the

other

as much at Bates solemn tone and
grim. lean visage as at his quotation
from my grandsire. But the fellow
puzzled and annoyed me- His unob-

Bates, If you didn't fire that shot

answer me that?"

NO SNAKES IN CANADA.
The Great Forests Are SinguIariy
Free from Reptiles.

A curious thing about Canadian for
ests is that there are no snakes, and
even from description the Indian
guides did not seem to understand
what a snake would be like.
Fishing all through Canada is as
good as the hunting, and should one
fail to bag moose he is fully recon-
pensed for the trip by the abundance
of other game, including bear and
deer There is weird melancholy
about Canadian forests, with their
hundreds of small lakes and rivers
scattered here and there, and although
the scenery never rises to the magnifi-
cent, there is something haunting.
aside from the sport in it, that draws
the hunter back season after season.

Indian origin, and all of them interest

BRITISH MILITARY TRAINING.
Soldiers Play at War on a Vast Tract
of Land.


England has reserved tract of land
several hundred square miles in ex-
tent on which her soldiers play at
war, according to F. A Talbot in the
Technical World Magazine. The Rus
sian-Japanese war served to emphasize
the radical revolution which has taken
place in warfare due to the remarka-
BILE improvements which have been
wrought in the devising of long-range
and quick-fring weapons, combined
with improvements in explosives.
The result of this revolution in war
fare is that battle front may range
over as much as 60 or 40 miles Con-
sequently a grave difficulty presents
itself in the training of an army to
comply with and to understand these
new Conditions, since it is essential
that an army in peace should be
brought to a high standard of eff
cheney which will enable it to cope
with any peculiar difficulty that may
present itself in actual combat But
to train an army upon this basis ne
cessitates a vast tract of land having
a conformation of the most difficult
nature and far removed from the ip-
fiuences of human habitations, to eI
able the men to have the fullest scope
in which to practice the new condi !.
tons of their science.

of lights high for my guidance up the
broad stairway.
The hall above shared the generous
lines of the whole house, but the walls
were white and hard to the eye. Rough
planks had been laid down for a floor.

echoes as the loose boards ratified I'M

of the best things known to architec-

furniture were chosen with a strict re-
