The place where I trapped and 
killed so many bears is still virgin 
country with an abundance of game, 
and if some society or organization 
would only put a keen observer there 
for six or seven months of two or 
three succeeding years to study this 
subject of hibernation, instead of kill- 
ing the animals as I had to for a Liv- 
ing, much could be learned. 
With the aid of modern  instru- 
ments; the camera, thermometer, ba- 
rometer, baumanometer and_ stetho- 
scope, accurate scientific results would 
be attained, and the questionable 
things set forth in this article settled 
for all time. Who will do it? 
Thru Quebec Wilds 
(Continued from page 716) 
I heard an amusing story of two In- 
dians who had been short of “grub” 
and finally caught several sturgeon. 
They dried the fish, but it was very hot 
weather. They had an old flint-lock 
rifle with them, and while crossing the 
lake in the evening saw a big moose 
swimming just ahead of them. They 
promptly threw all the dried fish over- 
board and gave chase. Catching up to 
the animal, they threw a noose over its 
antlers, and, being lazy, decided to let 
the moose tow them in to shore, which 
it did at a great rate. 
HEY made the line fast to the 
bow of the canoe, and the Indian with 
the rifle said he would shoot as soon as 
they got near the shore. They waited 
with the rifle all ready. Suddenly the 
moose touched bottom farther out than 
they expected, and rushed for the 
shore. The Indian aimed at a point be- 
hind the animal’s ear, but when he 
pulled the trigger the rifle refused to go 
off. The powder in the pan had be- 
come damp. The next minute the 
moose struck hard ground, and dashed 
for the bush, tearing off the bow of 
the canoe completely as it struck bot- 
tom. So here they were about seven 
o’clock in the evening with no “grub” 
and a broken canoe. They made a fire 
and repaired the canoe as best they 
could, and made a meal off three frogs 
which they found on shore. Moral: 
“A fish in the hand is worth a moose in 
the bush.” 
We are now camped on the Magnus 
River, ten miles from its mouth, and 
have had a day’s tramp in the rain 
over some very interesting rocks, all 
voleanic and keewatin schist, and well 
mineralized. We passed about fifty 
places to-day where moose had crossed 
the river. Their tracks were quite 
fresh, some of them only an hour old, 
as the water is still muddy where they 
had walked. Along the shores of this
