THE REMINGTON GUNS WHICH WON THE HIGHEST HONORS OF 1906 
MR. W. H. HEER used the two above REMINGTON Guns—“C. E. O.” and “F. E.” grades—exclusively during the year 
1906, when he won the HIGHEST YEARLY AVERAGE by breaking 96.3% out of 14,055 targets shot at—a wonderful 
test of skill and gun quality. It is the highest year’s score ever made by any two guns.

However, by dint of steady perseverance, the 
travelers reached the mouth of the Coppermine 
River by July 19. Then began a laborious, try¬ 
ing time of paddling, portaging and tracking. It 
took till near the end of July to reach the junc¬ 
tion of the Kendall River with the Coppermine, 
i Up the former the canoes were headed and they 
made better way; at least there was not so much 
occasion for portaging. In a day or two the 
Husky guides (of whom Mr. Hanbury is un¬ 
stinted in his praise) were dropped and returned 
to their families in a canoe which was presented 
to them. 
The Dismal Lakes were reached about the 
beginning of August. The travelers found them 
anything but dismal at this season of the year 
and reveled in the fine fish which they yielded. 
From the Dismal Lakes the route was down 
Dease River, where the first serious trouble was 
encountered. Game was so scarce that the 
voyagers were threatened with starvation. A 
little fish was all they had to live on and some- 
I times not even that. It is pathetic to read at 
the end of a toilsome day’s history: “Supper¬ 
less to bed.” However, hunger only served to 
make them increase their efforts, and reaching 
Great Bear Lake, they fell in with some Indians 
[ who provided them with a meal of fish and 
blueberries. “What a comfort it was,” writes 
Mr. Hanbury, “to put food into the empty 
stomach!” Thus refreshed, they started off 
1 with new hope, entered Bear River, and by 4 
P. M. the following day had reached Fort 
Norman .and civilization. 
“It was a novel sensation,” says the explorer, 
“to sit on chairs again, with our legs under a 
table, within doors and with a roof over our 
heads. A pipe of good tobacco following the 
sumptuous repast completed our happiness.” 
Frank Moonan. 
FISH AS SEED CARRIERS. 
Long ago Darwin asserted that fresh water 
fish played a part in the dissemination of aquatic 
plants by swallowing the seeds in one place and 
I voiding in some far distant spot. The truth of 
this assertion has frequently been questioned. 
Now Prof. Hochrentine, of Genf, claims to have 
proved by a series of experiments that seeds 
which have been swallowed by fish and water- 
fowl do retain their germinative power even 
after they have passed through the digestive 
organs. When planted they grew up in a per¬ 
fectly normal manner, if somewhat more slowly 
than ordinary seed.—Oesterreichische Fischerei-

The bivalve is a funny bird, 
For silence he’s renowned;
