of the Resources or Our Northern
Neighbor.
Written for Tho Tribune.
Her? commences nnnther chapter of
Our Wonderland story of travel across
the grcnt Aim-rlrnn contlin-nt. A man
of wisdom has said "know thyself."
A less wise man may with propriety
odd the maxim, ' Know thy country."
"My country, 'tis of thee I sing.
Sweet land of Liberty."
We have sung the pralsrs of our
country In a series of forty-threo let
ters of travel over the Northern Pacific
railway, Yellowstone Park and Alimka.
We now propose to cross the boundary
line into the Queen's Dominion and tell
of tho wonderful scenery and marvel
ous resourcts we found on a tour over
tho Canadian raclflc railway. So much
or int. rest is found that the wri
ter feels somewhat embarrassed in the
choice of material for even a brief
sketch of tho prominent features of
this confederation of provinces. It is
not the. writer's intention to weave a
romance, but to narrate the truth as
een 'With American eyes. In our limit
ed time and space we can only Klve a
few of the many facts that appear on
tho surface and describe but few
glimpses of the marvelous scenic
beauty nnd grandeur found along tlrs

with lavish and prodigal " hand her

grand scene but to find another even
more enchanting. Thi historic and
scenic beauties and charms are not
concentrated at few points ami plae.-s
but extend largely throughout tho en

to the noble coast scenery of the Marl
Umei'mv luces; and ilie American tour

here a peculiar people with peculiar
manners and customs. In the cities and
English settlements nre the quaintly
ultra-Anglicans who follow London ns
closely as possible In all matters of
Costume, Idiom and social manners;
and there are extensive districts in
habited by Scottish Highlanders, and
others by French inhabitants, all pre
serving their natural languages, cos
tumes and amusements unaffected by
the presence of Ilritlsh Influence and
power. Ail these phases of provincial

and serve to make the tour both Inter
esting and profitable. It Is well, too,
for an American citizen to have some
acquaintance with tho British Domin
ions on this continent our neighbor In
territory, bound to us by the closest
ies of kindrtd race, of language and
of religion, and destined, ns many be
lieve, eventually to be brought Into
still closer .relationship to us by peace
able annexation as an honored member
of our prent Republic. We again Invite
our readers to follow us on our jour

lantic.
THE DOMINION'S SIZE.
In the grouping of memoranda and
data we condense the following by
way of introduction. The prevalent
Idea regarding the extent of the Do
minion of Canada on the part or those
persons who do not study geography
(and there are many Americans who
do not) is that It comprises only a nar
row strip of territory lying along the
St. Lawrence and the great lakes. Let
us glance at the map and s?e how near
the truth this may be. Stretching
from Pacific to the Atlantic, and from
the Great Lakes to the Arctic ocean
lies the Dominion of Canada, which
equals In territorial extent the conti
nent of Kurope nnd from this Immense
domain the Old World could form a
score of kingdoms. Canada Is the
largest of all British possessions, and
It occupies an area nearly as large as
that of the United States and Alaska
combined, which Including lakes and
rivers cover 8.456.000 square miles, to
be exact, 146,990 square miles less than
i nlted Stntes and Alaska. Its great
est length east and west Is 3.S00 ml'es,
while its width north and south is 2,200
miles nnd were it not that a portion of
Labrador was politically attached to
Newfoundland (which Is a cwvn col
ony outside of the Dominion) all of the
continent north of the United States
east of Alaska would be comprised In
the great confederation. Ot this area
about 7O),0fl0 square mill's are cov
ered with water. To form a mea?rro
comparison of tho vastness of this
great country, a writer says: "In the
chief lakes of tho St. Lawrence basin
alone, you can put under water tno
whole of England, Scotland and Wales,
while forty such kingdoms pieced to
gether .would not cover the area of the
Dominion." In fact the Dominion
covers more than one-fourteenth (1-14)
pnrt of the earth's surface and con
stitutes forty per cent, of the Ilritlsh
empire. It is thirty times as large as
tho whole United Kingdom..
It is only by such meagre compari
sons can one endeavor to form a con
ceptlon of the vastness of this neighbor
of ours. From the tlnte of its discovery
In 14!7 by Sebastian Cabot to when the
Dominion was formed In 1867, It was
a troublesome and expensive British
colony, but the Canada of today is a
confederation of states whose people
are ensrossed In the work of nation
making, and perhaps nowhere in the
ammonia, or soda has been dissolved.
Stulns thnt nothing else will remove are
often taken out by the vapor aritilng from
burning- sulphur, but the material must
be washed thoroughly at once.
Tincture of myrrh is one of the best
things to use as a mouth wash. It hard,
ens the gums, leaves a clean taste In the
mouth and a pleasant odor on the breath.
To mend a broken plaster cast, paint
tho broken surface over two or three
times with very thick shellac varnish, and
after each application burn tho alcohol
over the flame. When the shellac Is sott,
press the parts together and tie in place
until cold. The article will be as strong
as It was before being broken.
Just now the salt in tho cellars gets
damp and refuses to shako out, to the ex
asperation of those who wnnt to use it.
Mix a little cornstarch say a teaspoon! id

in the rait cellars and the stuff will shake
out all right.

world are such mighty forces stirring
to such gigantic Issues. The observ
ant traveler can but notice a great
change in the Canadian people, even
within the last decade.
GOVERNMENT.
The Dominion comprises s?ven prov
inces, Ontario, Quebec, New Bruns
wick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Isl
and, Manitoba, British, Columbia, and
the Northwest Indian territories. Each
province has a home parliament or
legislature, a lieutenant governor (an
appointee of the governor general),
except in the Maritime , Provinces
where he is elected by the people. In
each province there is a responsible
ministry and an assembly elected by
the people under laws similar to those
of the United States. The governor
general Is appointed by the queen.
There is no "state church" In the
Dominion and all religions enjoy tho
fullest freedom. In Lower Canada (the
Quebec and French districts), the Ro
man Catholics predominate In all the
other provinces, the Protestants are in
the majority. Of the population In
1S91. 4,829.411 tho Catholics number 1,
790,000 Methodists, 742,981; Presbyte
rians, 676.165; Anglicans, 571,818; Bap
tists, 296,525. Four-fifths of this popu
lation are natives of the Dominion.
The majority ot the lower province are
of French and Scottish origin, while
the upper province people are of pure
English accent. Native Indians still
occupy portions of the country. Nearly
fifty-six per cent, of the Dominion are
engaged in agricultural pursuits. Ed
ucation is on a par with that of the
United States. Tubllc Instruction in
all the provinces Is encouraged by a
yearly grant of $5,500,000, tho elemen
tary schools numbering 15,000 and tlvs
superior schools 1,000. There ore
twenty-four colleges and each prov
ince except British Columbia has at
least one university.
The Dominion is divided Into twelve
military districts, the total military
force numbering 600.000 men, of whom
(on a peace footing) about 40,000 men
are effective. The northwest mount
ed police are the safeguard of the Do
minion. Extending the entire length
from Vancouver to Ottawa along tho
boundary between the United States
and the Dominion are detachments of
mounted police with stations from fifty
to one hundred miles apart in constant
communication with each other. They
number fifty officers and 1,000 men and
exert a powerful Influence not only in
preventing smuggling from across the
United States' border, but also In pre
serving order among both Indians and
whites throughout the territory.
THE DOMINION'S "RESOURCES.
Of the natural resources of the Do
minion no adequate conception can well
be given. The mlneial riches are Im
mense and distributed over a wide
area. Large quantities of gold are
found in British Columbia, Ontario and
Nova Scotia, also copper largely In the
same provinces, also iron except In
Manitoba, and the ore beds are of
great richness. Lend, nlckle and plati
num are produced in Ontario.. Rich

An old housekeeper says the way to ex
terminate red ants In a cupboard Is to
place In It an earthen dish containing a
pint of tar on which two quarts of hot
water has been poured.
Before beginning to s-eod raisins cover
them with hot water and let them stand
for fifteen unlnues. The Beeds can then
be removed easily.
To wash woolens, place in warm soap
water and to about four gallons of water
add two tablespoonfuls of best liquid am

grease and perspiration without rubbing,
which mtisL be avoided. After lightly
wringing, pass through two separate quan
tities of luke warm water. Dry Imme
diately (if possible In the open air) and iron

ly is particularly advised, as it prevents
them from shrinking.
An Inexpensive and convenient arrange
ment for a bed in a living room or parlor
may be made by getting a box spring anl
having a carpenter make a box for it to
rest upon. The framo should bo about
six Inches high nnd be made with castors,
so It will roll easily. Put a light hair mat
tress over the springs. This may be cov
ered by a couch rug thrown over it or by
having a pleated valance of velour or
handsome tapestry, with an Inch wide
heading sewed to the upper edge of the
springs, and covering the sides and top of
the mattress with tho same material.
When needed for a bed It can readily be
turned on the other side. With plenty tf
sofa, pillows -this will make a handsome as
well as convenient piece of furniture.

produced In Ontario and asbestos, a
valuable mineral, Is mined and export

these different minerals will be ex
plained in detail as we traverse the
sections where they are found.
FISHERIES.
The fishing Industries are the larg
est In the world, embracing fully eight
thousand miles of sea coast in addition
to Inland seas, innumerable lakes, and
numerous rivers. They are mainly
centered In British Columbia, New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia, where
seventy-eight millions of capital are
employed and $19,000,000 worth of tho
product Is sold annually on the Domin
ion markets aside from home use,
which amounts to $13,000,000 more. The
Industry will be seriously affected In
British Columbia, which alone yields
three to four millions dollars profit un
loss the United States and Great Brit
ain can agree upon measures for the
protection of the seal. The rivers of
British Columbia literally swarm wttn
salmon and the sea fisheries are well
nigh Inexhaustible, a fact attributable
to the fishes' food supply being brought
down by the.Arctic currents from the
northern seas and rivers. This con

of minute creatures which swarm in
the Arctic seas and are deposited in
vast and ever-renewed quantities upon
the fishing grounds a feature especial
ly noticeable on our Alaskan trip.
CANADIAN FORESTS.
But no product of the Dominion ap
proaches the forests (which are ncn
with every variety of trees) as a
source of vulue of the exports, or $26,

TWO FAMOUS INVENTORS.
Thomas Alva Edison, "the Wizard
of Menlo park," was thrownn upon the
world at 15 years of age. He became a
newsboy on a railway line, out ne touna
time to edit a little weekly pnper, read
Newton's "Prlncipla" and make experi
menst. He became a telegraph operator and
one of his clever inventions was a device
which he caled ineto play when he want
ed to take a little nap. This fttomatlc
device would answer the central ollice
with thp asurance that Mr. Edison was
awake when he was dozing peacetuny
Edison also Invented nn automatic re
peater to transfer messages from one
wire to anotner.
His first invention Miat brought him
In anything was an Improved stock prin
ter, for whlcn ne receivea w,uuu. r.very
bodv knows about his phonograph, in
candescent lights, klnetescope and
Rineto-phonograph. Edison says that
the time Is near "when grand opera
can be given at he Metropolitan opera
house at New York without any ma
terial change from the original nnd with
artists and musicians long dead."
Nicola Tesla Is considered by many
scientific men to be a mure origina
genius than Edison. He was born in
Servla and came to America and was
emnloved by Edison. Telsa does away
with the filaments inside the bulbs of
small electric lights and makes diluted
air do their work.
Telsa sends currents of high pressure
through space without any conductor at
a voltage many times greater than that
employed In electrocution. He sends cur
rents through his body that vlbratsa
million times a second or two hundred
times greater voltage than Is needed to
produce death.
Telsa's aim Is to hook nature's ma
chinery directly to man's, pressing the
ether waves directly into man's service
without the generation of intervention
of heat. By so doing an enormous pro.
portion of energy could be saved that
now goes to waste. Telsa'n polyphase
moters were adopted for converting Inio
electricity the power or jsingar.i vans.
It Is thought thnt the Niagara Falls
Power company cen, before very long,

AT CHAUTAUQUA
Excellent Presentation of "Stabat Mater"
Under Direction of Dr. Palmer.

and Other Notes.
Special Correspondence of The Tribune.
Chautauqua, Aug. 20. The crowning
event' of last week was the "Stabat
Mater" of Rossini, given under the
direction of Dr. H. R. Palmer, by the
choir, quartette and orchestra, accom
panied by the piano and organ.
This great hymn, "Stabat Mater Do
lorosa," was written by Jacobus Bene
dlctus near the close of the thirteenth
century, and has been many times set
to benutlful music; but Rossini's geni
us has rendered It immortal. As Dr.
Palmer remarked he used the latin
words because they seem to fit the
spirit better than any English trans
lation.' The hymn is sung In Roman
Catholic churches during Lent and on
Good Friday.
Long before S o'clock the amphithe
atre was crowded, and hundreds were
on the walks which surround this great
auditorium. Of this concert, Mr. Chas.
Barnard, who Is on the editorial staff
of the Assembly Herald, a resident of
New York city nnd a musical critic,
said: "I have heard some of the finest
music both In Europe and America, and
I consider this concert as an education
of the people worth the entire cost of
Chautauqua for a year." A lady from
Blnghamton, N. Y., said to me; "As
you know we have very fine concerts
in our opera house, but we have never
had anything to compare with this."
As the full blaze of the electric lights
was turned on tho "White lilies of
Chautauqua" bloomed in every part
of the vast audience In honor of Dr.
Palmer. Ag the last words were sung,
Dr. Palmer found himself covered with
flowers showered upon him by his en
thusiastic and appreciative choir. The
harmony of colqrs exhibited by the
choir was almost equal to the har
mony of tones. Our national colors,
softened, delicate pink, white, light
blue, with just enough 'black dresses
to supplement the gentlemen's dress
suits.
The aroma of commencement has
pervaded everything during the week,
Sunday morning the baccalaureate
sermon before the C. L. S. C. class of
1S96, was preached by Bishop John H,
Vincent, D. D., LL. D chnncellor of
the Chautauqua System of Education.
His texts were: Job, xxl:15, James, lv;3,
James, v:16. His subject was prayer
and was handled in an earnest, able
and Impressive manner..
At the 5 o'clock Vesper service seats
were reserved for the C. L. S. C. and
again Dr. Vincent gave a forcible ad
dress. A sacred song concert under
the direction of Dr. Palmer and nn il
lustrated address, "History of the Eng
lish Bible," occupied the evening.
Professor Charles Sprague has lee
tured upon Shakespeare telling us ot
his "Cradle and School Satchel." his
"Wedldng Ring and Freul," his "Match
lock and Sword," his "Pen and Pencil"
and his "Wand and Scepter." This
Beries of lectures has been very greatly
enjoyed.
Monday afternoon at 2.30 a grand
concert was given by the chorus, or
chestra nnd soloists. At five Dr. E. H.
Lewis lectured on "The Higher Real
Ism," at 7.15 the children's chorus un
der the direction of Mr. 8. 8. Season
gave a concert. At eight o'clock, that
great Impersonator, Mr. Leland Powers,
was introduced to the audience. Re
ceptions, C, L. 8. C. meetings, various
club meetings, chorus drills, prayer
meetings and numerous lectures In the
different halls were sandwiched In as
usual.
Mr. Power's Impersonations are
simply perfect. He recited his mon
ologue founded on DeMllle and Belas
co's comedy, "Lord Chumley." He was
in himself, a whole company, manager
and stage settings; and with no aids
excepting' a handkerchief and nn eye
glass, brought before us In rapid suc
cession as well ns In combination, the
great-hearted but affected English dude
the French villain, the tramp, the old
English gentleman and his son Hugh,
the bombastic butler, the loquacious
Irish maid and the sentimental spin
ster, all appearing so Teal as to leave
a vivid Impression of the personal ap
pearance of each character upon the
audience. Mr. Powers has since re
cited Shakespeare's "Twelfth Nlngth,"
and David Copperfleld with equal ef
fect. .
The decorations of the C. L. S. C.
rooms for recognition day commenced
early In the week, and C. L. S. C. meet
ings andi (receptions have been too
numerous to chronicle.
Tuesday, the weather gave a unique
display. During Monday night the
rain had fallen In torrents, accompanied
by hoavy discharges of electricity. The
morning was pleasant, but the tempera
ture such as to render fires within
doors, and wraps without a comfort.
About 1 p. tfi. again down came torrents
of rain. Again the sky cleared, again
came the rain. The sun appeared, dis
appeared. The rain came pouring
down bringing with It quantities of
large sized hailstones which lay on the
ground In heaps for hours.
In spite of all this Luna sailed ma
jestically forth, the most welcome guest
at the "Feast of the Lanterns." During
the evening we made a tour of the dif
ferent class rooms, where the respec
tive classes were keeping open house.
Their class mottoes, banners, pictures,
etc.. ornamented the walls. In many
of the rooms cheerful wood fires were
burning. Everywhere thn utmost good
feeling and cordiality prevailed.
RECOGNITION DAY. -
Recognition Day dawned clear and
beautiful. The air was strong and
bracing, reminding one of early Octo
ber. At seven the bells sent forth their
sweet chimes and soon was there a
general activity throughout the streets.
The newsboy was dodging here and
there. In fact everywhere present, cry
ing "Assembly Herald!" and occasion
ally "New York papers."
Dr. W. A. Duncan was marshnl of the
day, and was quite conspicuous with
an immense bow of light blue ribbon
on his arm, and casting his genial smiles
right and left. There were eight assist
ant marshals, six division marshals, ten
guards of the gate, twenty guards of
the grove, four guards of the banner
and two assistant gunrds.
Rogers' ,band led thr respective di
visions to their different places of as
semblage, when, after considerable'
marching and countermarching, the
great procession separated into two dl-
vision. One led by the band and misses
wltn ftral offerings, passed up Haven
avenue to the south side of the "Hall
of Philosophy," where the flower girls
formed In open order ready to strew
their offerings In the path of those who
passed through the "Golden Gate." The
other division, composed of the C. L. S.
C, undergraduates of four years, passed
up Cookman avenue to the entrance ot
the "Hall of Philosophy," where they
formed in open order for the passage
of the C. L. S. C. graduates. At 9 o'clock
the class of '96 and graduates who had
never passed through the Golden Gate
formed there, ready for entrance. At
9.30 o'clock they joined In the appointed
responsive service, at the close of which
the messenger from the hall made his
announcement and unlocked the por
tals. The class entered the Gate, passed
under the first arch, were. met by the
choir of the "Hall In the Grove." the
song of the day was sung and they
passed on through the trlpple arch, the
double arch and the floral arch. Into the
hall, where the Recognition service was
held. The procession reformed and
marched to the Amphitheatre, where
President Elliot, of Harvard university,
gave the Recognition Day address. His
subject was "The Characteristic Con
tributions that America Has Made to
Civilization."
A recess was taken until afternoon,
when the graduating services were con
cluded with the presentation ot di
plomas. Tho amphitheatre was beautifully
decorated with evergreen. On the left
of the great organ in large gilt letters
was the class name "Truth Seekers"
and 1898. On the right side was the
class motto, "Eternal Truth," and "C.
L. S. C." Placed against the platform
were tho magnificent banners of the
different classes, the one of 1896 occu
pying the central position. The class
color is grey, the class flower, the forget-me-not,
and the clabs emblem, the
Egyptian lamp.
Placed over the "Golden Gate" was a
silk United States Hag having thirty
four stars. On the stripes were print
ed tho names of the places through
which It had traveled, carried in Chan
cellor Vincent's pocket. These places
are: Alexandria, Cairo, Memphis,

In the centre of which was the class

The seeker shall teach his goal!
