Atolls.

1t is shown by the Investigations
conducted by scientific expeditions to
the Pacific islands that there is a slow
elevation going on there, which, by
lifting the reefs gradually above the
waves, preserves them from erosion
at the top, and enables vegetation and
certain animal forms of terrestrial
character to exist there. This is quite

ual submergence of small islands, and
that the coral insects built up encir-
cling reefs as the islands sank.
Recent reports show that the eleva-
ton of the islands is a general phe-
nomenon, but variable in amount,
some islands rising rapidly and others
very slowly.
Both the flora and the fauna Of these
islands are confined to a very few
species, although, seen from a dis

:'s~ ERN CANADA.

During the course of z reply to an
address presented to Hon. Robert Rog-
ers, the newly appointed Minister Of
the Interior Of Canada at banquet
given at Winnipeg in his honor that
gentleman spoke on immigration. The
tone of his remarks was that he intend
ed to pursue an aggressive and for
ward policy in the matter of immigra~
ton. In part, he said:
"The most important branch per-
haps Of that department (1nterior) II
that Of immigration. '~'".
IF there is anything more than an
other we want here it is a greater pop
ulation, and it shall be my duty to pre-
sent to the people in all parts Of tho
world where desirable emigrants are
to be found the advantages and tho
great possibilities Of this country. We
have received in the past reasonably
large immigration from south OF the
international boundary, and in this
connection let me say just word for
happy homes amongst US. and those
whom we hope to welcome in greater
numbers in the years to come. There
are hundreds of thousands of them in
our prairie provinces. happy in the en-
joyment of a freedom as great as they
ever knew, and all contributing in
material way towards the development
of Canada We are not blind to their
value as settlers. They come better

knowledge than most of our emf.
grants, and constitute without doubt
the wealthiest class of emigrants any
new country has ever known. As
head Of the immigration department It
will be my privilege to offer them a
welcome hearty and sincere, and to
so contribute to their welfare that un-
der the protecting folds of the Union
Jack they will enjoy as great degree
Of liberty and happiness as under the
Stars and Stripes. The Borden gov
eminent cherishes nothing but the
kindliest feelings for the people OF the
great republic to the south, and will
do all in it's power to increase the
bonds of kinship and neighborly good
feeling that has so long existed.

while we adopt a vigorous emil
grafton policy in that country, we win
also adopt the same vigorous policy In
other parts of the world. We will 90

every other country irrespective OF
race, creed or nationality, where We
can find suitable and desirable emil

much good work can be done in those

the present time in England, Ireland
and Scotland. Now, then, it will be

great following at large as possible
menace to settlers. So he was told
to move with his people to the va
kima Reservation. Moses answered
that he would be very glad indeed to
go on a reservation, but that the one
selected for him was already full of
savage Indians who would not treat
him we'll. So he begged to be allowed
to settle upon a Columbia River tract
that was of no use to white men but
would make a fine home for his fol-
lowers. There, he said, he and the
braves would raise vegetables. grain,
etc., and be model farmers.
This rural picture so delighted the
government that his request was at
last actually granted. Instead Of be-
ing pacfled of to some already crowd
ed reservation he was allowed to set
tie on the rich tract Of Columbia Riv-
er land. There he promptly made
more comfortable living by renting
out the prairie pastures ION which he
had told the authorities he wanted to
raise crops) as grazing ground to cat
tlemen. By this means alone he year

A Clever Escape.
But before he succeeded In bending
Uncle Sam so skillfully to his wishes.
there were one eor two times when
Moses needed all his ready wit to save
his life. For instance, when Chief
Joseph of the Nez-Perces began his
terrible war against the government,
Moses (perhaps foreseeing the result
Of the conflict) loudly refused to let
his people join their relatives, the
Nez-Perces. Yet rumors soon arose
that he and braves of his were wag-
ing secret war on white settlers.
Moses Indignantly denied this, and
succeeded in convincing the agents
that he was innocent. Then an entire
white family named Perkins on the
Columbia River were murdered and
their house and barns burned. Friend
ly" Indians accused Moses and his
men. Again Moses denied the charge
and even offered to help find the STAY
ers. But public opinion was for once
too strong for him. He was arrested.
put in irons and imprisoned at va
kima City. Gen. Howard, Agent VIII
bur and other officials who believed
in Moses, were hastily summoned and
had the old chief set free. Then, by
final diplomatic stroke, he secured
the special reservation he had 80 long
wanted, and retired to q life Of ease
and profit.

white man who could obtain favors
from the old chief. Capt. Christopher
Newport, of the colony, went to Pow.
hatan on trading expedition to get
supplies for Jamestown. Powhatan
interrupted Viewpoints proposition by
grunting angrily:
1T is not the wish Of so great
chief as myself to trade like a ped
der. Place on the ground all tho
things you have brought. I will take
what I like and pay what l choose"
He took every gift Newport display
ed and gave him in return only three
bushels Of grain. Yet soon afterward
he sold Smith 300 bushels of grain for
two pounds of blue beads. Capt.
Newport still thought he could win
Powhatan's favor. So no went to
England and brought back as presents
for him pitcher and bowl, some gay
clothing and huge gilt crown. He
sent word for Powhatan to come to
Jamestown to receive these gifts and
(by the English Kings gracious or

dies" Powhatan was vastly fattered
by this honor. But instead of coming
to jamestown he sent word:
II am as much a monarch as tho
King of England. II he has sent me

So Newport was forced to carry the
presents and the crown to Powhatan's
village on the York River.

held her as hostage to wiring favors

bitterly for the loss Of his beloved
daughter, but would not yield. Only
when she married a colonist named
Rolfe did he consent to make peacs
again with the English. This peace
endured until Powhatan's death in
April, 1913, after which new and dead.
