you should read Champlain's narrative.
Perhaps you have already perused it
IN your school histories. At any rate,
it is fearful and wonderful tale, and
We're it for the fact that Champlain dis.
covered that lake and that he stands
so high in other ways he would lay
himself open to the charge Of trying
to rival Munchausen. According to
his thrilling account, he loaded that
blunderbuss with lot Of bullets and
at the first shot killed-oh, I don't
know how many chiefs, but it was
either three or four.
The 1roquois We're naturally stupe-
fed by this new kind Of boom-fire
weapon that slaughtered all their
chiefs at one bang-as much surprised,
no doubt, as are those African animals
at the shooting Of Bwana Tumbo-and
after one of Champlain's companions
had also let off his gun the noble red
man ignobly turned tail and broke
down the brush in his mad stampede.
1t was a glorious victory for the Al
gonquins, but not for the French, as
after events went to prove: The pow
erful Iroquois never forgot that day,
and their hatred for the French en-
dured forever. They became allies of
the English and assisted materially in
keeping the French from capturing
what is now New York and portions
OF New England and eventually aided
the British in their struggle with the
French for control of the continent.
On that eventful trip Champlain not
only discovered lake for which he
was not looking, but set in motion
causes that changed the current of
history. The unconscious agents have
done more in writing the annals Of the
human race than those who planned
their own way carefully beforehand.

notable births and deaths are

The discovery of Lake Champlain oc-
Cured on July 4-prophetic day!-in
the year 1909. The discoverer was
Samuel de Champlain, a Frenchman
who had founded the city of Quebec
the previous year. These facts are stat
ed not in an effort to compete with the
school historians, but only because
they furnish the reason for the cele-
bration. Lake Champlain is rich not
only in beautiful scenery-mountains
on both sides, rugged shores and
abrupt islands-but in historical asso-

Artillery Against Air Craft.

'The balloons and airships have
made it necessary for artillerymen to
work out a new set of mathematical
tables for firing at air craft writes
Newton Forest in Harper's Weekly.
In the defense against aerial attack
the firing Of the gun must necessarily
be Of the high angle kind, and the
weapon must be capable Of rapid
training in wide arc. Such weapon
has been designed and manufactured
by the Krupp works at Essen, says the
author, and has been placed at the dis
posal Of the German war Office. The
fieldpiece is Of 211s caliber and fires a
nine pound shell with a velocity Of
1000 feet per second, and there is also
a weapon designed for Notifications or
shipboard.

The President to Attend.
We can forgive Champlain for his in
advertent aid to English ascendency in
North America and can even forgive
him for that story about killing so
many chiefs at one shot. He discov-
cred our lake, and, even if he did not
do it Intentionally, his is the honor.
So we are to hold weeks celebration
in his name and are to erect to him
heroic statue on the face of a great
lighthouse, which will be placed on
Isle Lamotte, where he first landed.
1t would do his old French soul good
to know just what a lot of fuss we
are making about him nearly 300
! years after he is dead. There will
be presidents, governors, governor
generals, prime ministers, cardinals,
bishops, poets, orators and all kinds Of
great men lifting his name to the skies.
Greatest glory Of all, the New York
legislature will attend in a body. If
Champlain could only know that, he
would certainly be overwhelmed by
his posthumous splendor. It is much
for mere mortal to have a president
of the United States and governor
general of Canada do honor to his
ashes, but to have the New York legis-
iature journey in a body to his shrine
surely that is the acme Of fame! Who
ever thought of that dazzling and un-
paralleled feature should have lived in
the days of Phineas T. Barnum, the
only man capable of rating such genius
as it deserves.
Nor are these the only honors that
will be paid to the discoverer, although
no other single feature can be quite so
transcendent and refulgent as that Of
the attendance of the New York legis-
lature. At Plattsburg, N. Y, Senator
Elihu Root will be the orator and
Professor Henry van Dyke the poet

Burlington, vt, Sir Wilfrid Laurier,

" When Champlain discovered the lake
that bears his name, Shakespeare-or
was it Bacon?-was writing plays and
Oliver Cromwell was a boy of ten
padding around in the fen country
about Huntingdon, all of which leads
us to wonder if we have the old times
beaten so badly after all. Notwith-
standing our skyscrapers, twentieth
century fiers, Mauretanias and air

Shakespeares and Cromwells. It is like
