It early learned to climb the centre poles which supported tho mo! 0f my mud house, and that was the first time I realized that lions could climb. I came in one evening lllld found no lion at home, but cflier s long search and after mo- bilizing s11 my afadlf, I discovered it clinging to the top of the pole, foo terrified to attempt the down ward journey. This surprising feat led me d0 ask a few questions, and there seemed to be no doubt that lions not only climb trees, the bark of many of which I found to be deeply scored by their claws, but that. they thus lie_in wait for passing gmne, Ithe approach of which they can scent more nail! from their ‘exalted position. The belief that lions have no sense of scent is as fabulous as many other beliefs concerning wild animals.

Slowly the cub grew up. It be- came lcss kittenish. The spotted markings of babyhocd began to disappear. It grew a. tougher, less furry coat. n; began w take a. live- lier interest. in the world about it and made friends with my dogs. It followed me on my marches and even learned to answer to a. whistle, Just as a. dog might. Its romping?» became more boisterous, but with all its growing strng-th it never lost its kittenlsh gentleness and never once unsheatircd its claws when at play. Only at feeding time did it display a. proper sense of resent- ment at any interference. It soon became well known to s11 the Lan- go, as it accompanied me on my travels, and could wander through any village without upsetting the cqunnimity of the inhabitants.

But u. dny came when it had w

undergo n. new experience, and its behavior showed such a curious blend of obstinacy and intelligence that it is worth recording. The great Psnjnndzum was inspectins the district next to mine and I was summoned to give an account of my siewardehip. 8o off we set in n ninety-mile march, Emgufn and my dogs following along quite cheerfully. All went well till we reached the border of my district, when an urgent: sununons fold me‘ to hum-y up, as Himself bad to hasten his departure unexpectedly. The last forty miles had therefore to be done in a. single day,

'I‘h‘.e was wo much for Engafn. He was accustomed to ambling along for fifteen, or at u. m-etch for twenty miles a day and he would hm do another inch. n. was not that he was tired, but he had formed habits, nnd no cejolllng

would induce him to break them.

My "boys" were very much put out‘ about if, but there was nothing else to be done. S0 we left him there, some twenty-odd milu from Solot, the station for witch I was making, and hoped for the best. We fold everyone along the route that Enigato was about-for he was a stranger m those people- end laid s curse on any one who should venture to disturb him. And so I reached Solot minus Elngaw. Three days later he strolled into Solot, late in the evening, and calmly walked on to the vemndah of the Commissioner's house, as if it were the most usual thing in the worldJ-Ieaving himself on hL; hind legs, he floppvd with all his weight across my knees, lookfng up with an absurd grin on his ugly face. As a msttrr of iexlterest we tracked down his movements, and, inciden- tally, I anticipated a large bill for damages, as he had to feed himself during those three days. Consider- ing all things, we did not think two chickens and one sheep exces- sive. The most interesting point in his movements, however, was ﬁrst, though he came to us in the even- ing, he had arrived in Solot in the morning-onIy to find a. safari starting out along the road by which he hnrl usit. came. Assuming that it was mine, he had followed it after a short rest till it reached a camrp some fifieen miles away, and then discovered that it was not mine M. all, but. that of some local official. Then this lion, who had previously refused to exceed his statufcr; fifteen miles, quickly turned back and returned to Solot, having in that one day covered close on fifty miles. Two problems remain which I cannot wttempt to solve: how did he find lﬂs way about a. strange country, and how did he manage to track me down, without in the least knowing where I was going? And if scent is the explanation, which I doubt, how was if: that he was deceived by the outgoing safari? My “Boys" who were delighted to see him, said that it was ‘bahatV-just luck --whfch is as gocd an answer u any.

Engato had many adventures during his career wztvh mc-lris re- markn-bie friendships with other animals must wail. for another oc- casion-but one incident, when he was little more than a. cub, probab- ly marked one of the great days in his life. I was in camp, sleeping in a ten/c. Engnto had recently been promoted from sleeping on my bed to sleeping uudomcaih it with the dogs. Hardly had I put out my hurricane lamp, when a full-grown leopard entered the tent, presum- ably after the dogs. Without a se- cnndb hesitation Engato leaped out, and the leopard was so aston- ished that it turned tail and fled down the path, with the cub gal- lantiy bouncing along in its wake. I had relighted the lamp before Enguio returned; so I was able to see the most remarkable exhibition m’ blotfmrt braggadocio. Words can- not describe the lilt and swagger with which he walked back into

the tent. He was fully conscious that he had behaved splendidly, and as he walked he hunched his shoulders forward s: if to say, “So much for leopards! Trust me." ——New State-mun and Nation.

ICNDON, A08. l-(OPJ-Dc- chring opinion in fuvor of rclumv- tlon of immigration on a normal scale seems to be za-inlns around Lhmughout Canada, and assertinl his plan has the broad support of the dominion and pmvluclﬂl 8W‘ “menu, Brig General ML. Bom- by has circulated a new explanation of his plan for ‘fBritish community settlements" in Canada.

The Hornby plan would send to the dominion small communities of selected BfltLsh families, establish- ed on areas of proven good mixed- farming land of 5,000 to 10,000 ac- re: in extent, to be sponsored by the existing voluntary migration committees of the counties and towns in the United K111840111-

Declarlng Canada, by the eetmb- lishmeni’. of so great transportation, educational and other services. has already made its share of any 50-50 financing, Brig General Hornby proposes the United Kingdom make the necessary loans available to the count)’. city or town committees here at a 10w rate of interest.

The sponsor of the plan quotes from a letter sent by Hon. W. A. Gordon, Canadian minister of 1m- migration at the end of June, 1n which the minister said: "In my judgment there can be no bwo opinions as to the importance or desirability of furthering British settlement in Canada. as rapidly as conditions will allow. I am inter- ested in and sympathetic with any practical scheme which will encour- age the ‘successful transfer to and establishment in Canada of the right type of British settlers."

The Canadian provincial govern- ments, too, he asserts, are favor- able. "In the course of my recent visits to the capitals of Saskat- chewan, Manitoba and Ontario, and during my conference with the premiers and members of their, cabinets," he says, "It was made clear to me the provincial author- ities are warmly in favor of l. huge inc-reuse in the proportion of Brit- ish immigration into Canada es soon as economic condition! war- rant the admission of immigrants on a. nonnrl scale. The government of Ontario in particular sees no reason for any further delay." Brig. General l-Iornby point! out there are economic masons why a denser rural population, particul- uirly in the prairie provinces, would be advantageous to Canada. West- ern Canada. alone, he says, could easily accommodate and absorb many hundreds ofthousmds ofBrlt» ish families without much, if any, appreciable additional capital es:- penditure on public services.

“The United Iiingdom," says the memorandum, “lms families avail- able and to spare. If lhc would send them across the Atlantic and make satisfactory arrangements for settling them 0n the land some at any rate of the present difficulties, both of the Mother County and of Canada, would be solved. The 1n- flux of families would of course be on a slnall scale at first, but would gradually increase in proportion as progress in made with arrangements for estabishing in mind that prop- er settleanent of the newcomers is the crux of the problem."

Brig. General Hornby also takes

info account the large increase 1n non-British immigration to Canada coincident with the decrease in British immigration, during the past 10 years, declaring it is evi- dent that if vigorous measures are not immediately taken to counter- act the growing preponderance of non-British settlers in the Prairie Provinces, the Canadian West will completely lose its already fast- dlsuppearing British character. These are the principles outlin- ed in the new scheme: 1. The initial selection of mi- grants is the foundation of success- ful overseas settlement. This sel- ection can be carried out best by those who know the characters of the intending migrants best-their fellow citizens of the same com- munity. Those who select the ml- grants should accept responsbllity by undertaking in establish the se- lected migrants overseas, and by re- mrning m their Old country homes those who do not succeed.

o. New settlers who do not ‘make good" should be returned to the United Kingdom by those who sent them out to Canada.

Brig. General Iiornby declares the objective of the plan is to cs- twblish what he culled “Flounde- tion Community Farm Settlements," small communities or selected Brit- ish families, established on areas 0f pmfvvn good mixed-farming land of 5,000 to 10,000 acres in exient. In sponsoring the new settlements by the existing county and town voluntary migration committees the the object in view is to bring into play the very strong county and town spirit. which exists through- out the United Kingdom.

Eeach committee would acquire by purchase a. block of from 5,000 to 10,000 acres of well situated fanm land suitable for mixed fawn- ing. The land would be held by the conunittee in perpetuity, it would not be sold f0 the individual set- tlers but would be worked by them on o. rental basis, the rental being a. proportion of the annual pro- duce. Each committee would select a settlement manager or supervisor from tho district from which the settlers come B-nd/fhroughthisfrldn- ager would subdivide and develop the ares into suitable farm hold- ing! of varying sizes. ‘This manager would have the assistance of a field foreman end other staff with local Canadian experience. , m order w safeguard‘ u» com-i mltfee‘: interest in the matter of land purchase it is proposed the Canadian government be asked to nominate an cdvmory committee in each province. whose function would be allowed :0 become public charges, at least during the five year period during which the set- tler in acquiring legal Canadian domicile.

KNITTING TN SOUTH

The lmiitting industry was among the ﬁrst manufacturing operations undertaken in Hongkong, this being brought about owing to the large demand in South Cirina. for chearp knitted wear such as cotton hosiery and singlets, which are the 0W0 items in which the knitting factor- ies of Honskong specialize, states the Industrial Department of the Canadian National Railways. The rapid growth of this industry in Hongkong is s striking indication of the worm-s being made in the in- dustrialization of South Chins. The industry first star-fed with one knit- ting machine set up in ordinary Chinese houses, the machines re- maining the property of the prom- oter who rented them f0 families and purchased the output. ‘Ipday the bulk of the out/put in Hongkong of cheap cotton knitted wear comes from well organized knitting mills. Many of the nulls have installed Chinese-made lmittlng machines, copies from Britfsh and American types. The local machine costs ap- proximately one-third of the British and American maikca, but is not as reliable. The majority of the Heng- kong knitting mills use electric power. Chinese women during re- w years have made rapid strides in the art of knitting by hand and this has created a. demand for knit- ting wool. ‘There is a market in Hongkong and South China for Canadian knitting mills for the higher grades of silk hosiery and light weight good quality knitted cotton garments and already some of the Canadian knitting mills are securing some of this trade, a1- though the demand for high qual-

PRODUCTION OI‘ IODINE

iA variety of 1001M which has been found at Blwlnman’: Bay, in Southern ‘msmenia, is believed to be a0 rich in iodine that there may be prospects for the establishment of an industry in the State for the extraction of iodine from seaweed. Professor A. H. B. Wallace, of Byd- ney, who has been collecting speci- mens of seaweed from. southern Tasmanian waters, found at Black- msn’: Bay n new variety of kelpt belonging to the some family as that growing on the Californian coast, where iodine-producing weeds occur. ‘The acumen of the world's iodine supply an in dried-up lake beds-in Germany and Chile, where there are vest potassium and oo- dium compounds. ‘I119 development of seaweeds from which iodine is obtained is carried on assidlously on the Californian coast. The kelpe around ‘Tasmania are rich in po- tush, and may be used ae fertilisers. Professor Lucas is of the opinion, in fact, that if the Gcmmn supply of potash ever fell off that oom- modity may be extracted from local seaweeds. 1n Japan, incidentally, seaweeds are in great demand, end, are sold in bundles like other veg- etable. ‘they are rich in vitamins, and are considered a great delicacy. During the war, when the Germans were too busy to grow cmbbegea, they consumed large quantities of seaweed.
