|A CANADIAN RIVER’

THAT LOSES ITSELF

!Maligne Rievr,

In Jasper Na-
tional Park, Has Interesting

| Feature

A river that loses itself so com-

y, but it will be three or/ pletely that no trace of its course can
ars yet before there is a regu-|be found for several miles, is one ot
air line service across the Atlan- | the interesting features of Jasper Na-

fone) Park, Alberta, which, with an
}area of more than 5,000 square miles,
is the largest national playground in
the world, The name of this river is
the Maligne—French for “bad"'—and
given to it because whore it joins the
Athabaska there was a ford. which
was much feared by the trappers and
voyageurs of carly days in western
history.

The Maligne River finds its source
in Maligne Lake, about thirty-five
miles from its confluence with the
Athabaska. Maligne Lake is ahout
fourteen miles long, more than a niile
wide and the largest glacial fed body
of water in the. Canadian Rockies.
From this Jake the Maligne River
flows swiftly down-hill for about four-
teen miles to empty into Medicine
Lake, a body of water four miles long
and from a half to a mile wide.This
lake, in some places, reaches a depth
of 150 feet,

Out of this lake there is no known
outlet. At the foot of it and for a mile
or so below there is the dry course of
what was once a river. But this bed
is dry and there is neither sight nor
sound of water in or near it. After
about a mile, a trickle of water makes
its appearance and within a compara-
tively, short distance a river is once
more flowing through the valley.

This is aguin the Maligne River, al-
though from this point to the Atha-
baska, the yolume of water is never
as great as that which ‘lows into
Medicine Lake. A mile above the
Athabaska River, the Maligne hurls
itself down into a great canyon, hun-
dreds of feet deep and, in places, less
than a yard wide at the top. *

London-Dublin Air Service

Would Cut Journey From Ten To
Four Hours
An air service between London and
Dublin is the object of negotiations
now in progress between Imperial
Airways, Limited, and the Air Depart-
ment of the Irish Free State. Passen-
gers would fy from London to Liver-
pool in air expresses. At Liverpool
they would change from land-plane to
a 15-passenger flying-boat. The aerial
journey should be accomplished in
about four hours, compared with ten
hours by boat and train.

Some people are proud of their past
—probably because it is past.

SCOTT'S EWULSION

SAYS TRAINS ARE
SAFER THAN AUTOS

Railways Are Not Dangerous
Says Railway Official
“The most dangerous part of the
machinery of transportation i8 the
nut that holds the steering wheel of
the automobile.” So says W. Jones, of
Montreal, Assistant to the Director of
Safety and First Aid on the Canadian
National Railways. Speaking in Win-
nipeg at the recent presentation of 150
certificates, vouchers, medallions and
labels, as well as a number of special
prizes to Canadian National employ-
ees who had won them through pro-
ficiency in First Aid work and home,
nursing, Mr. Jones deciared, that the
system spent a good deal of money
and energy in protecting people who
neglected to protect themselves.
“Railways are not dangerous,” said
he. “It was once thought they were,
and perhaps this was true, but today
there is not a safer ayocation in the
world. We are highly organized and
ready for any emergency. The danger
of accidents comes from the general
public, which is not yet educated
away from its carelessness and reck-
Tessness.
“Among its employees the National
system stimulates an interest in First
Aid work, and I think I may say our

forts when I tell you that of the 93,-
000 on the system more than 37,000
are ready to give first aid to the in-
jured promptly when the occasion de-
mands it. And every year sees an in-
creasing membership in the Canadian
National branch of the St. John Am
bulance Association.

“Next to First Aid, and perhaps
even before it,” said Mr. Jones, “is
Safety First. This I call ‘frst aid to
the uninjured.” Some day we shall
get the careless motorist to see that
it is better to be safe than sorry.”

Do Not Eat Turkey

Little Demand In New Zealand For
This Fowl

There are about 77,000 turkeys in
New Zealand (or were at a recent
census) according to a report contain-
ed in the National Poultry, Butter and
Egg Bulletin. There is little demand
for this fow] and this is more than
taken care of by the local producers,
states Trade Conimissioner Julian D-
Foster, in a report to the Department
of Commerce. New Zealand gobblers
generally cost from $3.60 to $6.00, ac-
cording to weight; hens cost about
$2.40 and younger birds from $1.70
upwards. New Zealanders are surely
missing something besides winter at-
Christmas.
