Bike racing appears to be boom

has the sport been dead there since
the days of Arthur Zimmerman, al

been confined to amateur events and
conducted by cycling clubs. Pro-

bark in a venture to give the Native

The First Atlas.

The first modern atlas was the work of Abraham Ortelius, a Dutch geogra- pher, who died 51S years ago. His monumental treatise, entitled ''The- atrum Orbis Terrarum,' was first pub ished at Antwerp in 1570 and was re vised and reissued five times during the authors lifetime. It was a folio volume containing nearly a husdred maps, representing the different coun- tries and continents as they were then known. Although this atlas was a momentous achievement, yet a bright schoolboy today could draw maps from memory with a better approximation to correctness. Even England and Scotland appear in this pioneer volume with amazing distortions of coast line and relative area, and many other maps in the volume bear only a slight resemblance to those of today.-New York World.

An Ant That Spins.

The spinning ant is found in India, in Ceylon, in the islands of Malacca and in Australia. This ant weaves it's nest between two leaves of a tree, preferably the mango. It begins to build or to weave by drawing two leaves together. To do this it runs d line of its working material-material similar to the spiders thread-the length of the leaf and around it. While at work it clings to the leaf with it's nails and at the same time draws on the leaf nearest to it with its mandi- bles. Sometimes the two leaves suit able for nest building are too far apart; then the builder calls in its fellow ants, and they help to form a chain. Each ant clings to the waist of it's neighbor by its mandibles. Thus en- chained, they work to build the nest of their comrade.

That Indefinite Article

The rule dealing with the indefinite article preceding words commencing with ''u" (when pronounced" "yu'D does not appear to be an adamantine one. Like Macaulay, with his fondness for 'an" university, many of our best writers and speakers prefer to ignore the rule and back their fancy in this little question of euphony. As for tile man in the street, the matter has long ago been settled in favor of "a" in all cases where the initial "u" has the ''yu' sound, partly no doubt because such phrases as 'an united people" do not come trippingly off the tongue and have an old fashioned, pedantic flavor. And there are sensitive ears that will prefer "a unique" to the more studied ''an unique. ."-London Chronicle.

Indians and Time.

Certain Of the reservation Indians still cling to the calendar of their an- cestors The Indian method was to compute time by sleeps and moons. A sleep is twenty-four hours, and a moon is a month. There is also a midmoon, where the sun is at F o'clock meridian. This hour is indi- cated by pointing overhead.
 When an Indian pointed quarter way up the sky he meant o'clock; when he pointed quarter way down he meant o'clock. Sunrise was the eastern horizon and sunset the western.
 When there was a moon the time was indicated in the same way as by the sun. Were an Indian asked the distance to a certain place or how far he had come he would say so many sleeps, or days travel A sleep, as describing distance, was about thirty five miles when walking deliberately or from fifty to seventy-fve miles if going in haste with message.-Phll- adelphta Inquirer.

THE LOSS OF POWER
 BOAT ALPHA
AN ACCOUNT GIVEN BY THE ONLY SURVIVOR OF
 CREW OF SEVEN.

The loss of the power boat Alpha reported in the Progressive Miner f ew days ago, is verified by John Christiansen, the only survi- vor of the ill-fated little boat in an account given to Victoria, B. C., newspaper of recent date.
 Christiansen said that the Alpha was swamped by a heavy sea off Rachel island on March 16. Accord ing to his report, Christiansen was in the icy water four hours after the boat went down, clinging to an overturned boat, which he subse- gently lighted and finally reached old Metlakatla-
 The six other members of the crew were lost, and although the steamer Malaspina and a small fleet of powerful launches were dispatch ed from Prince Rupert on a search ng expedition immediately following Christiansen's rescue, the vessels re- turned without having located any trace of the missing men or their craft.
 Capt. Miller and Christiansen managed to reach a small boat which had floated off. Christensen did not see the other members of the crew. For a time the two men clung to the boat. Capt. Miller, however, soon re- leased his hold, saying he would try to reach an island nearby. Christensen continued to cling to the overturned craft, which drifted towards a small island near Digby, where he managed to right the vessel and paddle ashore.
