A CUSTOMER WRITES: 
Dalbeattie. 
Dear Sirs: — The 12 -bore “Magnum’' I bought from 
you for shooting herons has been a remarkable success. 
The first shot was at a heron in a spruce tree — it fell 
dead and we measured the distance, finding it to be 
110 yards. There were 5 No. I shots in the bird’s body. 
The second shot, a day or two later, killed a heron 
at 98 yards. Since then we have had a number of long 
shots, which we have not measured. 
Yours faithfully, W. IT. A.

material at hand. The best natural 
splint is made by using the bark of a 
tree as near the diameter of the broken 
limb as possible. Strip the bark in two 
separate pieces somewhat longer than 
the broken bone. Fill the hollow side 
of each piece of bark with soft material 
such as moss, grass, etc. Then arrange 
one piece each side of the break and 
bind loosely with a long piece of cloth 
or rope. 
Other materials for emergency splints 
are split staves, bundles of brush and 
rushes and even light sticks bound com- 
pletely around the limb. Pad them to 
ease the wound as much as possible. 
W ATER can be boiled without a 
kettle. Here is the gist of it: 
Take a thin sheet of birch bark and 
make a trough-shaped bucket (see 
sketch). Pin or sew the folds with 
green twigs below the water-line. Pour 
in the water and set the bucket upon j 
the coals also piling them about it. 
Snow can be melted in the same 
bucket by setting the bucket in the snow 
before the fire. Slant several little 
sticks, each supporting a snowball at 
the top so they rest over the edge of 
the bucket. Then let the snowballs melt 
into the bucket until it is filled suffi- 
ciently. After that set the bucket in 
the fire as before. 
Another way to boil water is to hol- 
low out a green log, fill with water, and 
bring to a boil by dropping in red-hot > 
stones as required. 
T F you find yourself without a com- 
pass here is a method of finding the 
meridian that will serve to get you out 
of almost any difficulty. Drive a stake 
in the center of a smooth, level piece of 
ground. Get it vertical by pluming it 
with your knife suspended from a piece 
of string. Do this about an hour before 
noon, standard time, and make a mark 
at the end of the shadow of the stick. 
Then inscribe a circle about the stick, 
using its base as the pivotal point Its 
circumference should just touch the 
mark at the end of the shadow. Then 
at one o’clock make a mark where the 
shadow touches the circle at another 
point. Then make a mark upon the 
circle just half way between these two 
former marks, and connect it ,to the 
pivot point with a line. This line rep- 
resents nearly the true meridian. Where 
it cuts the circle is North. 
One might go on indefinitely enumer- 
ating various mechanical kinks and 
twists of knowledge that would lighten 
the worries and labors of camp life. • 
However, much will have to be left to 
the mechanical sense of the camper him- 
self to ease his own way. But it is 
hoped that this will help him to see how 
much mechanics enter into the routine 
of camp life and that he will realize 
that without mechanical laws and their 
“sure fire” attendant results, life in the 
great outdoors would indeed be more of 
a gamble than it is.
