Singularly treeufrqmiiié refines of heat and cold, there are not, ' as a rule, those-sudden changes which one experi- ences on the mainland.

it amply compensates for the tedious spring. Navi- i gation generally closes towards the end of Dece-nrber, and re- opens about the middle of April. The cold is neither so great in winter, nor thelheat so intense in summer as in the other provinces of Uhe Dominion, while the Island, sheltered from the Altlantic by the " hills of Cape Breton and Newfoundland, is almost entirely free fro-m fogs. The Autumn is a beautiful season. .
