lace’s party in penetrating the interior of Labrador. 
C. The first expe- _Almost the last 
dition, it will be recall¬ 
ed, was headed by 
Leonidas Hubbard in 1 
190-,; the hardships |||J|jg. 
encountered and the 
pathetic death of 
Mr. Hubbard at this

been thrillingly 
presented.

words of Mr. Hub¬ 
bard to Mr. Wallace 
(his stanch friend and 
admirer),were: “Carry 
the expedition to a suc¬ 
cess.” With wonderful 
persistence and pluck 
the “quest” was again 
resumed in the face of 
peril and hardship. 
<L The result is The Long Labrador Trail, full of inestimable 
information concerning the interior Labrador, a country of which 
but little has been known heretofore.

HOW BIRDS LEARN TO SING. 
do 
Do young birds learn their songs by diie 
imitation of their parents or is the power 
song an innate quality? Some observations rna 
by W. H. Hudson on a species of tinaml 
(Rhynchotus rufescens ) _ throw some light 
the question. This species has a peculiar 
characteristic song or call of its own, and 
cording to Mr. Hudson’s observations it 
not require to learn it. A young bird was tak 
from the nest when just breaking the shell a- 
brought up in a house where it could never ha 
had the chance of hearing its parents. Yet lo 
before it was full grown it would retire to 
dark corner of the room and give its char; 
teristic song in great perfection. Here the so 
must have been innate, The experiments ot 
Hon. Dailies Barrington, in Which various spec 
were reared under linnets, and learned and sa 
the linnet song instead of their own, suggest, 
the other hand, that the young bird learns 
direct imitation.—London Globe.

study which N. H. Darken has given to this fi 
are now published by our Geological Sun 
They reveal this mountain area rising from 1 
plain as a land of remarkable scenic attract! 
ness and large variety of interest. It has sco 
of miles of canons along the rivers, some 
them 2,000 feet in height. There are glac 
on many of the slopes, and the lowering I11 
stones are weathered here and there into cas 
and pyramids reminding the visitor of scenes 
the Tyrol. The brilliant red wall where h 
red sandstone outcrops extends for hundreds 
miles along the foot of the mountains and thro- 
some of the river valleys, and there is climl 
without end for the expert mountaineer and 
tenderfoot. The most exquisite of lakes 
perched high in the range, 9,000 feet above 
sea the rivers are full of trout and game 
fairly abundant. It is a good place to enjoy
