and waterways have been discovered in
the Selllirk Mountains of Canada. It
is three years since their existence
first became known, but they were
only partially explored. Between 5000
and 5000 feet have been mapped.
Conflicting theories exist as to the
origin of the caves. One theory at
tributing them to earthquakes, another
to erosion during period of about
10000 years.
The German Army authorities have

Think of one blind and deaf from early childhood who finds the world "alive, ruddy, and satisfying" That is Helen Keller's own expression; and certainly it is unique and important human document which is promised in her essays on "Sense and Sensibility," the first to appear in the February Gen. tury. Here she tells, to the world of the first time, how she "seeso and "hears."
 How can the world be shriveled when this most profound. emotional sense, touch, is faithful to its service? l am sure that if fairy bade me choose be- tween the sense of sight and that of touch, would not part with the warm, endearing contact of human hands for the wealth of form, the nobility and fullness that press into my palms.
