The Long Labrador Trail 
T 
by Dillon IVallace 
Author of “The Lure of the Labrador JVild ” 
HIS new book, by the author of The Lure of the Labrador 
Wild , relates the recent and successful efforts of Mr. Wal¬ 
lace’s party in penetrating the interior of Labrador. 
The first expe¬ 
dition, it will be recall¬ 
ed, was headed by 
Leonidas Hubbard in 
1903; the hardships 
encountered and the 
pathetic death of 
Mr. Hubbard at this 
time have already 
been thr il 1 i n g 1 y 
presented. 
Dillon Wallace 
C, Almost the last 
words ol 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. 
CL 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. 
Beautiful frontispiece in color by Oliver Kemp and additional 
color plate by Frederic C. Stokes. Illustrated with many half¬ 
tones from photographs by the author.

THE MUSIC OF MAN AND BIRDS. 
If the discovery of independent evolutions of 
human music all tending in the same direction 
indicates the existence of an ideal standard 
toward which progress leads, how much stronger 
is the evidence afforded by the fact that bird 
music is developing along the same lines! It 
seems a far cry from a Beethoven symphony 
of a Wagnerian opera to the simple lay of a 
sparrow, but as we trace the course of the mighty 
river of music back toward its source, the stream 
becomes narrower and narrower, until it is con¬ 
tracted to a point where it is no broader than 
the little rill of bird music. Nor does the de¬ 
crease stop there; for, remarkable as it may 
seem, there was a time when the music from 
which ours has been evolved was inferior to 
some of that which floats to our ears from the 
woods of spring. This is not to say merely that 
the songs of certain of the birds involve more 
intervals and greater variety, but that they are 
of a higher order judged by our own modern 
standards.—Henry Oldys, in Harper’s. 
MOTOR BOATS IN IRELAND. 
Consul A. K. Moe reports that the new motor 
boat club, recently formed in Dublin, promises to 
give considerable impetus to the sport which 
hitherto has been carried on spasmodically in 
Ireland by a few individuals, concerning which 
he writes: 
The large extent of bays, fjords, lakes, estu¬ 
aries, and rivers in the island gives a ready op¬ 
portunity for a large development in motoring 
on the water. Automobiles and motor bicycles 
have found great favor in Ireland, and it is rea¬ 
sonable to presume that the similar sport on its 
many waterways will increase to a much greater 
extent than has been the case in England, or 
even in Scotland. 
Very few motor boats are yet in use in Ire¬ 
land, but if the same advance takes place as in 
automobiling there will be within the next few 
years several hundred of these little vessels em¬ 
ployed for pleasure purposes. At this stage it 
is the time for American manufacturers and ex¬ 
porters of motor boats to make a determined 
effort to secure a large share of the market.
