SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1910.

Long ago in the last century-to be exact, IN
September 1S29-there appeared under the ell
torship of LocFhart, iii "Blackwoods Maga-
zine Il canadian Boat Song. about when
the literary historians have been arguing ever
since. 1t not 10y any means a poem calcu-
lated to set the world on fire, but it contained
'naunting verse;" which in spite of It's
familiarity must quote again:
From the lone Smelling OF the misty island
Mountains divide US and the waste OF seas
But still the blood is strong the heart is High
land
And We in dreams behold the Hebrides,
The charm of these lines has been potent
enough to develop prodigious quarrels over
tGeir authorship. One contestant, Mr. c. NJ.
Fraser has even written a book about it. He
and others have sought to give the poem to
John Wilson, the Christopher North of old
S,gashbuckling Tory days in Edinburgh. But
Mr.. Walter Scott. in a letter TO Notes and
Queries revives the argument and maintains
as has been maintained in some quarters be-
fore-that the true author was John Gait, add
ing that his verses We're in all probability,
revised and improved' by Locllhart His
analysis Of the problem is plausible, but we
fear that he leaves it where he found it, still
puZZng. Most puZZling of all is the amount
Cf attention that has been bestowed upon it.
We suppose everybody knows the beSetting

is going to the photographers, and putting
on a perfectly overwhelming expression, The
writers addicted to this habit may be laughed
cut Of it if they will read what Mr. Max Beer
bohm has to say on the subject in the London
saturday Review" He asserts that the only
photographs that are tOerable the photo
graphs of people one has never seen, and
makes great play over the curious TRANSFORMED
ton of ones personality that is often achieved
by the camera. It is the professional phOtOg
rapher about whose art he is the most dubious.
On the other hand, he leaves a loOphOIe for
the individuals who must disseminate portraits
of themselves or perish. He says:
But now the snapshot camera which any
pauper possess and any duffer learn
TO use well enough, has taken away from the
tence, He still survives because the human
race is slow to grasp new facts, and slower still
new toys: and it instantly grasped the snap
shot camera. Also it has come to perceive that
these little portraits, taken in diffuSed sunlight
and taken by q friend on the spur Of the mo-
ment, with without the Sitter'S knowledge.
infinitely more like than the best studio
lighted photograph ever taken by a profess
sOnal.
Some of our best sellers have already dis
covered the advantages of the snapshot. 1t is
true, also that it is next to impossible to take
them unawareS if one may Judge from the fact
that even in these nomnaly teeting records
they preserve in their aspect that blend of the
DanteSque seer. the Napoleonic Superman. the
melting Romeo and the Gibson clubman which
is. Of course the mark of literary genius
