WILD ANIMALS VISIT .BANFF
Deer and Bears So Tame That They
Are Everyday Sights in Cana
dian VilIage. g

Although Banff is a hustling village
during the summer, and is thronged
with tourists, wild deer from the
mountains are to be seen daily on the
streets, and at night stately elk leap
from the roads into the bushes to
escape approaching automobiles. If
a BanR cottager expects to eat his
own garden truck" he builds u deer
proof fence around his patch. The
grounds Of Brett hospital Ire open
from the street, and. the other night
half a dozen deer made a raid upon
the flower garden. Banff is the cap
ital Of Rocky Mountain park, and
shooting game within the park limits
Is forbidden by law. The deer, being
unmolested, have become very tame.
"a friendly visit to the village. Not
long ago a bicylist, speeding down
one of the side streets at night, hit a
lark object, and turned a somersault
Or two before he hit the macadam.
Sitting up, he looked around. and. dis
covered a bear hitting the trail for
nome as fast as four legs could carry
him. Although tame and somewhat
obtrusive, the deer, elk and bear do
not relish too close an acquaintance
with man, and have proved them
selves to be not only picturesque but
perfectly safe neighbors.-Canadiaa,

nNE of the first tools a workman
will need in starting construction
| VI nwork is a saw. There are many
~ other cutting tools. it is true, but
saw has a definite use that no other
tool can be put to and accomplish the
work as we'll.
Saws are used for cutting many
kinds of material. but the ones we
shall consider here are those for cut
ting wood only. They are of two
general classes. crosscut and rip.
The crosscut is used only for cutting
across the grain of wood. and the rip
saw for cutting with the grain.
If we have a board several feet long
and wish to divide It into several short
lengths, we would have to do our cut
angles to the length. The grain IN
this case would be in the direction Of
the length of the board. in cutting
across the board we would also be
cutting across the grain. hence would
use the crosscut saw.
If instead of wishing to cut the
board into short lengths we wish to
divide 1t into several strips of the same
length as the board. our saving would
have to be done from end to end. that
Is, in the same direction as the grain
runs, so we would use the rip saw.
In order to accomplish this different
cutting. IL is necessary to have teeth
of special shapes. In figures 1 and
we see the teeth of a crosscut saw
from two positions. In figure 1 we

farther into the wood. the parts
broken or cut off are carried out Of
the cut by the movement Of tho saw,
and a clean. straight cut results.
The rip saw teeth have a different
action TO perform. so are of different
shape. The rip saw cuts with the
grain instead Of across IL. The cutting
action is quite different. The wood is

that Is not real dry. The waste ma
terial comes out in strings. the action
of the sa " being more on the order Of
separating the grain-that portion
that is in front OF the teeth being
pushed out. Rip saw teeth are filed
straight across-at right angles 10 the
side of the saw. Compare the shapes
of the teeth before going any farther

ure carefully. This shows the cut.
ting action very nicely. A further
comparison might be made with the
cutting action OF a chisel. Study all
the figures and Won cannot help but
get a good understanding Of the dif
ference between the operations of the
two kinds of saws.
Figure 9 shows a handsaw as gen

This the boys did. They then built
fire and broiled their fish and oysters
on forked sticks. The dark hours be-
fore midnight and high tide were the
hardest to while away but finally they
said good bye TO the cove and rowed
home in the moonlight.

when she heard the tale OF their ad-
ventures. but for one thing am

claimed Pete. as the boat slid into the

1t was indeed a desolate spot. AS
they rowed near the shore heron few
up from the little strip Of sandy beach

Pete agreed. but Janet said: II
don't feel like scrambling through all
that marsh full of tangly stuff. I have
n blister on my heel so I'll stay in the
boat and row up around the shore a
bit and maybe find some oysters We
can whistle If we want each other"
This plan seemed a good one so the
BOYS struck out through the rough,
rnarshy shore while Janet began row
ing gently over the placid water Of
the cove. The walking was indeed
rough and it was a relief when the
boys reached a little forest of scrub
oak where the ground was firm and
the way more clear. Suddenly Pete
exclaimed:
What's that?"

Creek. near Philadelphia, and
y y watched the Indians sorting and
separating their furs in anticipation OF
the trading season. 1t was not the
| furs that interested the boy. not so
much the Indians themselves. but the
vivid colors which streaked their
, faces and bodies. He watched the
squaws decorating their earthern jugs
and then when his Quaker parents
thought him hard at work at his les
sons. he would gather the brightly
colored berries that the Indians had
used and MASKING them between
stones, he would manufacture his own
crude paints with which he expert
mented. painting on birch bark pic
lures of the scenes about him.
Such were the first attempts at art
made by Benjamin West. who later
became one of Americas foremost
portrait painters. The boys father
wished him to become an engineer
but young Benjamin dreamed of
painting the beautiful sunsets, and
after his simple tasks were done ne
would take his homemade paints and.
uninstructed, paint the objects Of his
fancy. One day a visitor in the West
home saw the crude paints and the
attempts OF the boy and exclaimed:
This boy has talent. He should be
sent abroad and educated at an art
school" In those days of Colonial life
there were no art schools in America,
and sending the boy to England was
a very expensive operation which was
