the planets nightly with the naked eye,

Experience has proved according to
Able Moreux, that a camera affixed
to TIE telescope is of value only in the
case of remote bodies, such as stars
and nebula, in which details escaping
the naked eye are caught on the
Photographic plate.
When Camera Isn't Needed.
On the other hand, the planets which
are within the orbit of the earth and
relatively near may be best observed
without the aid of the camera. which
does not record changing phenomena.
For example. data regarding the sea-

that Marian ice is melting and uncov-

the buzz-saw in British Co
lumbia. Time was few years
ago when numbering overshadowed
all other Industries in the province.
The prosperity of the province de-
pended largely upon it.
il Is still basic industry. The saw
mill has decimated the once magnifi-
cent forests of the United States. Tho
vast virgin woods of British ColuNnbia
offer the lumberman the most profit
able field on the American continent.
~ wrecking the industry in Russia,
the greatest numbering nation of the
Eastern Hemisphere, the war gave re-
newed Importance TO the Pacific slope
Of Canada. Not in history has there
been such a demand for lumber as
arose for home building In devastated !
Europe after the war. In the years
following the armistice the export
lumber trade Of the province has
broken all records.
But this Is also a record era for set
tlement. Forth first time the influx
of homeseekers into British Columbia
has rivaled that OF the prairie prov
inces. The farmer has followed the
lumberiaclks. Where forests stood are
golden grain fields.
How agriculture has gained on lum-
bering Is shown by recent statistics
OF the British Columbia Manufactur-
ers' Association. According to these
figures the volume Of business OF
basic industries in the province last
year was: Lumber. s64,97o.0Oo; aEri-
