Party Visits Swayze By Plane

Chapleau, Jan. 25.—Ontario’s newest and, if the high hopes
of its operators are realized, possibly its largest gold camp was
christened with appropriate formality this week, when citizens
of Chapleau marked with a banquet and dance the commence¬
ment of actual mining operations on the Kenty Gold Mines
Limited, pioneer discovery of the Chapleau gold area in Swayze
township.

As if to respond to the toasts in its honor, the Kenty Mine
itself sprang an unexpected surprise on Monday when a new
vein carrying free gold was exposed while blasting out a round
at a depth of 38 feet in the shaft. Announcement of this
development at a banquet on Monday night brought salvps of
applause from an audience of more than 200 guests, including
mining men, prospectors and prominent citizens of the to^n.

Flight to Swayze

Tuesday saw the revellers taking

off in airplanes on a trip of inspec¬
tion of the Kenty Gold Mine as
guests of President Frank Trethe-
wey, the president. Emblematic of
the progress of mining since the
first discoveries were made in the
province is the fact that a party of
15 guests, including two ladies, Mrs.
G. B. Nicholson and Mrs. Trethewey,
were able to visit the property, a
distance of 45 miles from Chapleau,
and return in a few hours, a trip
that formerly would have occupied
a week by trail and dog team.

All Chapleau was en fete as vis-

and to the men who are behind the
mines with their capital: ‘You 'have
done all this but we are going to
appropriate to ourselves and tr the
state the results of your year}- of
painstaking toil and the capital' you
have invested.’ ”

Briefly Mr. Nicholson paid a gov.
ing tribute to the work of the Ken tv
Gold Mines and its discoverers. , He
expressed high hopes for the fuiu:
of the area east of Chapleau ; nd
pledged the active co-operation or
Chapleau citizens with those engages
in its development. “I am lookifc
forward to the day when thousar'
of men will be employed in this

had secured the option first. Later
lie recalled having offered an option
on 50,000 shares of Hollinger stock
at $4 a share to his British prin¬
cipals, who had refused to take the
stock. He recalled the disappoint¬
ment of interests whom he had
sought to get interested in Lake
Shore at a time when there was
“not a face in ore.”

Dr. Tyrell referred specifically to
the high cost of power as a contri¬
buting factor in the high mining
costs which prevail In Northern On¬
tario, as compared with other parts
of the world. “The making of a
mine is a very expensive business.
While in some parts of the world
gold is being mined and treated for
less than $1 per ton, in the Kirkland
Lake field we are actually paying
more than that figure for power
alone. One way in which the
people of Chapleau can help develop¬
ment of the mines is for you to help
us to get power here as cheaply and
as fairly and reasonably as pos¬
sible. The sooner we get power
the sooner will a mill be put up and
production will start.”

Dr. A. G. Burrows, deputizing for
Hon. Charles McCrea, quoted statis¬
tics of current mining interest to
indicate the impressive stature to
which mining has grown in recent
years. Out of 25 years of study
among the rocks of leading mining
areas, Dr. Burrows declared emphat¬
ically, “I can see no reason why we
can’t get other Kirkland Lakes and
Porcupines. The producing area
of Kirkland Lake is only two miles

scattered over a distance of onlv a

Shades of the early days of Cobalt.
Porcupine and Kirkland Lake hung
over a banquet table at which the
attire of guests ranged from the
‘•flannel shirts” to the boiled fronts
and “soup and fish” of prominent
guests at the head table. Emblem¬
atic of the catholic character of en¬
terprises engaged in development of
the new area were the decorations,
green and gold plaques proclaiming
a list of operating companies, which
included the following names: Kenty

Porcupine Mines, Denyes Explora¬
tion Syndicate and Swayze Gold Belt

and Dome Mines. A miniature
headframe and railway with a car
of ore forecast the day of produc¬
tion from the Swayze prospect.

George B. Nicholson, M.P. for
East Algoma, and the fairy godfather
of the town of Chapleau, was visibly
moved as he surveyed an audience
whose very nature proclaimed the
changing complexion of the times
for industry in the Chapleau dis¬
trict.

Dreams Materialize

‘‘I have waited 45 years for this
event," he said. ‘‘We have seen
miners and prospectors come and
go for years. It has remained for
those actively engaged in the de¬
velopment of Swayze to bring these
dreams to realization.

‘‘I prefer to call this area the
Chapleau mining field," he said. “I
do not think there is any group of
men in Canada or elsewhere who
are doing a more patriotic service
than the men who are giving their
services to the development of gold
mining. Gold mining in Canada
has done more to stabilize conditions
and prevent the country from going
bankrupt than any other individual
factor. These are plain facts and
I think we should recognize them.
Mining wealth, and particularly the
gold mining industry, has kept us
on our feet in the last three years.”

Despite the role which gold mines
have played in combatting depres¬
sion, Mr. Nicholson drew attention
to propaganda that was seeking to
destroy an actual means of salva¬
tion. "There are those,” he said,

“We refined more gold last ydar
on our railway by $5,000,000 than
it cost to pay for building the
whole railway,” was one of his strik¬
ing statements. As one who had
been serving miners for 27 years, he
declared his faith in the industry
and the character of the men fvho
are engaged in it. He pleaded, for
active co-operation and besought
citizens of Chapleau to support min¬
ing enterprise with their time land
money. "You may strike 10 wild¬
cats and on the eleventh time! you
may strike it rich,” he declared!

The viewpoint of the field engineer
was added by W. B. Millar, engineer
for the Thorng;Graves interests/ who
entertained with a delightful narra¬
tive of an engineer’s experiences in
the bush, paying high tribute tio the
spirit of co-operation existing be¬
tween the people of Chapleau and
those who made this town their
headquarters.

Kenty to Have Chance

The toast to "The Mining “indus¬
try,” proposed by D. O. Payette, of
Chapleau. was responded to by two
distinguished guests, Dr. J. B. Tyrell,
president of Kirkland Lake Gold
Mines Limited, who are financing
development of the Kenty, and Dr.
A. G. Burrows, chief geologist of the
Ontario Department of Mines.

"For 50 years my life has been
more or less closely connected with
the gold mining industry,” said Dr.
Tyrell. “The Kenty boys have dis¬
covered one of the best looking pros¬
pects on surface I have ever seen.
In my opinion it has a chance of be¬
coming a very big mine.”; Deter¬
mination of its sponsors to give the
Kenty a fair show was greeted with
high enthusiasm. “We are going to
give the property as fair a' show as
we possibly can. If we qan make
a mine out of it we will do so,” he
said.

Recalling his half century of ex¬
perience which ranged from his
early visits to the sub-Aiictic with
the Geological Survey of Canada to
explore the head waters of the Sas¬
katchewan for gold, through the
Klondyke rush, and through Por¬
cupine and Kirkland Lake, Dr. Tyrell
pointed to the many opportunities
that gold mining had offered, and
had been passed up. In 1908 he,
himself, had mistaken samples which
a brother of the late George Gray
had brought into his office from Por¬
cupine, for specimens from the
Klondyke and had later tried to ob¬
tain an option on the' Hollinger
claims to find that N. A. T imm ins

Fisher in Six Hours Kills
Five Grouse, Two Rabbits

Metagama, Jan. 25. — According to
the story brought in recently by Mc¬
Kee Brothers, guides and trappers
in the Metagama district, fur animals
take a heavy toll of smaller wild life.
A few days ago when going over
their trapline they came across the
fresh trail of a fisher. There being
plenty of snow for tracking purposes,
they at once started to trail or

—

“walk” the fisher, as if is called in
the parlance of the trapline.

The fisher had apparently just left
his nest of the night (before, for it
was not until after six hours of
steady trailing that thgy came upon
him holed up in a ihollow cedar.
Signs left in the snow showed where
the fisher, in his six hotirs’ jaunt, had
killed and partly eaten five grouse,
and killed and cached! two rabbits.

$4,000 More This
Year

Bell Park bathing beach will likely
be patrolled next summer and an
attempt will be made to stamp out
petty thieving, it was indicated at a
meeting of the Sudbury Parks Com¬
mission on Monday.

Col. A. H. Smith was re-elected
chairman, and H. P. McKeown, city
clerk, will again act as secretary.

E. A. Martin stated that many
people last year had articles stolen
at the park while they were bathing.
He wondered if a locker system,
where the key is a receipt, similar
to that in use in railway stations,
would meet with public favor, if in¬
stalled on a rental basis.

"You may be sure that the chil¬
dren would lose their keys,” said P.
J. O'Gorman.

"It was reported to me that there
were nude bathers at the lake,” said
W. J. Bell. "I don’t know how true
the rumors are but we should have
a watchman. A regular patrol
would stop that immediately and all
the petty thieving. Of course, this
would mean an extra expense.”

“Why not make arrangements
with the man who has charge of the
restaurant,” asked D. S. McKee.
"Lockers could he installed in his
building, and at the same time he
could supervise bathing.”

Col. Smith was of the opinion that
two men on relief could be engaged
for the summer to patrol the park.

An application was received from
Joseph Gilpin, 357 Elizabeth St., for
the position of caretaker at Bell
Park this year. Last year he was
hired from April 1 to October 31 at
a salary of $100 per month, and he
made several improvements to the
park.

A resolution was adopted asking
city council to raise $12,000 for parks
purposes—a levy of one mill on the
tax rate for 1933. Last year the
commission spent $7,745.34,' which
included the debenture interest pay¬
ment on the park sinking fund,
which meant a little more than half
a mill.

"We must keep our estimates as
low as possible,” remarked Mr. Bell.

“It’s a fallacy to strike the esti¬
mates too low and then register a
deficit,” said Mr. McKeown.

The Lions Club was granted the
use of the Athletic Park for Do-
monion Day, July 1, for their annual
sports day, Memorial Park being
definitely closed to all athletic events.

C.P.R. Makes Saving
Lifts Double Track

Further retrenchment in the in¬
terests of economy was instituted
yesterday by the Canadian Pacific
Railway, with the issue of orders to
close and lift the double track from
Roberts to Woman River, a distance
of about 26 miles. It is understood
that this is part of a general policy
to be adopted toward sections of
double track west of Sudbury, where
about 25 miles have been already
closed, and about 65 miles more will
be closed to traffic in the near
future. The sections likely to be
affected are those between Nemegos
and Chapleau, 16 miles, Chapleau
and Balgrow, 36 miles, and between
White River and King, 21 miles.

It is estimated that about 12 oper¬
ators and a number of section crews
will be affected.

Lx-Hospital Orderly
Makes Charge of
Cruelty

1 Though Coroner J. S. McKessock,
of Sudbury, six months ago found
that Frank Smith, alias George Ross,
alias Frank Rosen, died in hospital
at Burwash Industrial Farm from
bronchial pneumonia, a full investi¬
gation into the case has been ordered
by the attorney-general’s department.

Smith died on July 12 and the day
after a Toronto newspaper carried
an interview with a former inmate
who alleged that Smith had been
harshly treated. The allegations were
then branded as absurd by Superin¬
tendent N. S. Oliver, and the matter
was dropped.

An affidavit, however, taken by an
inmate who was head orderly in the
hospital at the time of Smith’s death,
led C. F. Neelands, deputy provincial
secretary, to re-open the case.

"We will surely welcome a wide-
open investigation,” Superintendent
Oliver told The Sudbury Star, “as we
have nothing to hide.”

He added that the charges of the
orderly will be very hard to prove as
they contain details altogether un¬
known to him.

The charges made by this inmate
were, in brief, that Smith’s body,
when he was admitted to the hospital
a few days before his death, showed
two sores made by a strap on the
shoulder and in the region of the
ribs, when it is against all rules that
strapping should be done above the
hips.

Say No Treatment Given

Further, it is charged that no
treatment was ever ordered for
Smith in the hospital, and that the
orderlies were told to do what they
pleased. They themselves, the affi¬
davit says, had to apply tests for
death that they had seen used be¬
fore, and decide whether they would
pack the man’s nose and throat.

Although it was customary to call
hospital orderlies to give evidence
at inquests on dead prisoners they
were not summoned in this case, the
affidavit says. This is admitted by
Mr. Neelands.

“The hospital orderlies were not
called to testify, nor was the register¬
ed nurse,” reads the prisoner order¬
ly’s affidavit in part.

The cause of death was given at
the inquest as bronchial pneumonia
yet the orderly who makes the
charges maintains that they were
never told he was suffering from
pneumonia.

Smith, a sickly-looking man of
about 38, according to the orderly,
came from Toronto and was serving
a short term for false pretences. For
six weeks before his death, from
early June on, he is said to have
complained repeatedly of illness.
After a week in hospital, he was or¬
dered to prepare for work. He re¬
fused on grounds of illness. Ac¬
cused of malingering, he was or¬
dered to be strapped, and was given
three straps. On the following two
days he appeared on sick parade,
complaining about serious illness in
his chest. On July 4 he was ad¬
mitted to the hospital on the plea
of a fellow prisoner. He complained
of unbearable pain in his chest.

It was when the orderlies un¬
dressed him, they say, that they
found strap wounds high up on his
shoulder and chest.

Says Pleas Ignored

The orderly in his affidavit de¬
clares that he felt certain that the

inmate who was head orderly in the
hospital at the time of Smith’s death,
led C. F. Neelands, deputy provincial
secretary, to re-open the case.

“We will surely welcome a wide-
open investigation,” Superintendent
Oliver told The Sudbury Star, “as we
have nothing to hide.”

He added that the charges of the
orderly will be very hard to prove as
they contain details altogether un¬
known to him.

The charges made by this inmate
were, in brief, that Smith’s body,
when he was admitted to the hospital
a few days before his death, showed
two sores made by a strap on the
shoulder and in the region of the
ribs, when it is against all rules that
strapping should be done above the
hips.

Say No Treatment Given
Further, it is charged that no
treatment was ever ordered for
Smith in the hospital, and that the
orderlies were told to do what they
pleased. They themselves, the affi¬
davit says, had to apply tests for
death that they had seen used be¬
fore, and decide whether they would
pack the man’s nose and throat.

Although it was customary to call
hospital orderlies to give evidence
at inquests on dead prisoners they
were not summoned in this case, the
affidavit says. This is admitted by
Mr. Neelands.

“The hospital orderlies were not
called to testify, nor was the register¬
ed nurse,” reads the prisoner order¬
ly’s affidavit in part.

The cause of death was given at
the inquest as bronchial pneumonia
yet the orderly who makes the
charges maintains that they were
never told he was suffering from
pneumonia.

Smith, a sickly-looking man of
about 38, according to the orderly,
came from Toronto and was serving
a short term for false pretences. For
six weeks before his death, fiom
early June on, he is said to have
complained repeatedly of illness.
After a week in hospital, he was or¬
dered to prepare for work. He re¬
fused on grounds of illness. Ac¬
cused of malingering, he was or¬
dered to be strapped, and was given
three straps. On the following two
days he appeared on sick parade,
complaining about serious illness in
his chest. On July 4 he was ad¬
mitted to the hospital on the plea
of a fellow prisoner. He complained
of unbearable pain in his chest.

It was when the orderlies un-
dressed him, they say, that ' b®y
found strap wounds high up on his
shoulder and chest.

Says Fleas Ignored
The orderly in his affidavit de¬
clares that he felt certain that the

ralne of such an event l.
honor of the new industry th&. __ _

through the area to its east is emphasized by
the more serious references of speakers who
addressed Monday night’s banquet. Speaking
from a vast fund of knowledge of mining and
prospecting. Dr. J. B. Tyrell, who has been
responsible for providing $1,300,000 in funds
for development of the pioneer Kenty property,
made very clear the difficulties that lie in the
path of the mining operator. High cost power,
to which he referred specifically, is only one of
several obstacles to the progress of mining.
These are obstacles which an enlightened pub¬
lic opinion is required to remove. Every dollar
that can be cut from the cost of mining in a
gold camp, whether in the form of lower taxa¬
tion, lower workmen’s compensation costs, and
lower operating expenditures generally, means
that millions of tons of ore that otherwise
might be valueless can be brought within the
range of profitable treatment. This, in turn,
means additional expenditures on supplies,
transportation and employment of labor.

The development of a successful and profit¬
able mining field east of Chapleau promises to
be the most important event that has occurred
in Northern Ontario, with the possible excep¬
tion of the Frood development, since the dis¬
covery of Kirkland Lake. At this stage in the
progress of the field it is impossible to forecast
the future, but optimism and faith in the
north’s mining resources has paid dividends in
the past; we are confident they will again pay
dividends in the future.

Interest in Blue Quartz Gold
Mines is being revived by its presi¬
dent, Horace C. Crow, who plans
making announcement of further
financial arrangements next week.
The Cartwright Gold Fields, which
owned some 600,000 shares in Blue
Quartz, is surrendering its charter '
and its Blue Quartz holdings are
being distributed on the basis of 114
shares for each share of Cartwright |
held. H. C. Crow was one of the
vendors of properties to the Cart¬
wright Gold Fields and as such re¬
ceived about one third of the shares
issued and will accordingly receive i
Blue Quartz shares pro rata.

Blue Quartz Gold Mines, Ltd., was
incorporated in 1921, statements at
the time being that it was formed to
acquire certain holdings of Cart¬
wright Goldfields, Ltd., and La Santa
Lucia Gold Mines. The return to the
Provincial Secretary, however, shows
that of the $3,000,000 authorized ,
stock $2,000,000 in stock was given to
the vendors for the claims turned over
as well as some money and that in
1928 an additional $200,000 of the
stock was given to H. C. Crow and
Dr. Tuck for additional claims, leav¬
ing only $800,000 in treasury shares
to sell to the public.

Increases Capitalization
In the spring of 1928 the company
acquired supplementary letters patent
which permitted it to issue share
warrants with respect to fully paid up
shares upon deposit of the share cer¬
tificates, the depositors thereupon
receiving share warrants with cou¬
pons payable to bearer for dividends
or other rights which might later be
declared upon the shares specified.
On the statement that 90 per cent of
the company’s stock had been sub¬
scribed and more than 50 per cent
paid for, supplementary letters patent
were also granted raising authorized
capital from 3,000,000 to 5,000,000
shares of $1 par value.

Selling of these shares has pro¬
ceeded during the last ten years.

An advertisement early in 1928
stated that “the expenditure of pri¬
vate funds amounting to $575,000 has
proved Blue Quartz as a mine of
assured production.’’ Early in 1927
plans for a 200-ton mill were reported
and at intervals during the last de¬
cade highly encouraging reports were
given to the public and to the share¬
holders.

Vendors Shares
ew of the advertisement that
"tiddture of private funds
) $575,000 had been made,

of prop-
endor of

te how t
vendors
. The v

claims in 1921 to Blue Quartz is
shown as J. F. Loudon, who received
2,000,000 shares and $50,000 cash,
nominating these shares to be deliv¬
ered among others to the following:

Marshall, E. C. Crow, J. H. W.
Crow, Hibbard are shown as resident
in England and so are a dozen others
who received less amounts than 60,000
shares. John Loudon, nominal vendor,
received 500 shares.

The mine is at Painkiller Lake. Six
of the claims owned by the company
are shown as either wholly or partly
under water and their value would
depend on the results of work on
other claims. Dr. J. B. Tyrrell, well
known geologist examined the com¬
pany's property several years ago
with the view to interesting his prin¬
cipals. He did nothing further and
it is not known that developments
have altered the outlook.

Shares outstanding at the end of
1931 are shown as 2,956,208 shares of
which 756.208 shares would be treas¬
ury shares as compared with 656,208
treasury shares at the end of 1928, an
indication that 100,000 shares have
been sold somewhere since 1928. Less
than 12.000 treasury shares are shown
as having been sold in 1928. The
shares, the company states, have been
sold all the way from 30 cents to
$1.50 a share. They were offered early
in 1928 at 50 cents a share. Earlier in
the year the Provincial Secretary’s'
Department was notified that H. C.
Crow had offered to purchase 100,000
shares of the company at 30 cents a
share.

Questions Asked

The Financial Post, while glad to
publish the information given above,
believes the shareholders should
know much more concerning their
company. In view of the fact that at
the end of 1931 shares issued to
vendors were three times as much as
shares sold to the general public,
shareholders would be greatly inter¬
ested to know how many shares of the
original allotment are now held by
the principal officers of the company.
They would be interested also in
learning of the actual expenses met
by holders of vendor’s stock to justify
such a huge allotment back in 1921,
and they would like to hear from a
conservative, independent source an
opinion as to the prospects of the
property and an estimate as to the
funds necessary to test out these
prospects.

THE NORTH

MacLeod-Cockshutt, Preston East Dome
and Kirkland Lake Gold Position

I have shares in MacLeod-Cockshutt, Preston East Dome and Kirkland Lake
Gold. I bought these shares at higher prices than they are at present, but I did not
sell when the slump came, as after reading The Northern Miner I came to the
conclusion there was a good chance they could recover after the war, and also that
they could keep going even if they had to reduce their tonnage and dividends for a
time.

I notice Kirkland Lake Gold has again reduced its dividend. I thought from
what The Northern Miner said this mine had found more ore and would be able
to meet its dividend, and now it is cut in half.

In regard to Preston you have always spoken well of this mine, but I notice
you are not quite so definite in your opinion with regard to the lower levels in the
last issue of the Miner.

With MacLeod-Cockshutt it seems to be just bad luck that is holding this mine
back. Is there any chance of their paying a dividend this year? Any remarks you
may choose to make would be appreciated.—A. E. Q., Birtle, Manitoba.

There is no question about the new ore develop¬
ments on the Kirkland Lake property, particularly
in the block between 4,000 and 5,440 ft. in the
west section of the mine. We have commented
on this situation three times since August. We
remarked that the current developments at that
depth would attract wide attention in normal
times, because not only are they highly important
to the mine itself but possibly to neighboring
mines as well. The top 400 ft. of this 1,400-ft.
block has been fairly fully developed and partially
mined, but there remains 1,000 ft. depth in the
block which is intact and only partially explored.

There are two types of orebodies: one occurs in
the sediments off the nose and along the sides,
of the porphyry mass; the second type, which has
been followed from 4,100 to 5,400 ft., is a series
of veins some distance west of the porphyry
branch, off to the northeast from No. 6 fault.
Of course, there will require to be a lot more
development done before the whole picture is
visible, but all the evidence accumulated to date
suggests an important addition to the reserves.

It is not possible to translate such a develop¬
ment immediately into production and profits.
As you probably are aware, this company in com¬
mon with all the gold mines is suffering from
lack of experienced mining labor. The September
quarter production figures will shortly emerge and
will disclose the position. In any event this mine
is shaping up in a highly satisfactory way for
future operations.

Preston East Dome is maintaining its production
fairly well at the reduced rate, although the third
quarter may show some decline in output because
of the lower milling capacity. As we have pointed
out before, Preston was particularly hard hit by
the Metals Controller’s order setting the ceiling
on mill tonnages. The order caught the company
in a particularly vulnerable position, since it was
then in the midst of an expansion program arising
out of the Government’s request last year for
increased gold production.

In dealing with the new block of levels between
the 7th and the 12th we commented, in Septem¬
ber, that because of the irregularity of the Preston
orebodies it was difficult to determine tonnage
definitely until actual stoping had been done.
We said that, although it would be some time
before sufficient work was done on the new block
of levels. It would appear that all in all they
were good and compared favorably with the levels
above. This is probably all the information that
even the management could give you at the pre¬
sent time, due to the nature of the structure at
this particular mine. In any event, at the end
of last year the company computed 920,000 tons
in reserve, which would be sufficient for three

that there are no worries at the moment. When
more details are available we shall take pleasure
in printing them.

We dealt with MacLeod-Cockshutt in consider¬
able detail in September 24th issue. The situation
there is quite clear, the company having ploughed
back $750,000 of its earnings into additional mill¬
ing equipment and into underground develop¬
ment, with a view to raising the milling rate as
requested by the Ottawa Government. This money
having been spent, the structures and machinery
having been erected, and the underground work
done, Ottawa then ordered that a ceiling be
placed on the milling rate, which restrained
MacLeod-Cockshutt to a 700-ton a day operation.
The company protested but did not get anywhere;
thus shareholders have been deprived of earnings
which are represented by structures, machines
and work which are non-productive for the time
being. When conditions become normal, however,
MacLeod will be in excellent position to increase
its profits rapidly. As the company has not paid
a dividend since last December, it is possible that
there may be a distribution before the end of the
year. As at September 30th, 1941, the net working
capital was about $500,000, since which date a 10c
dividend, calling for $286,249, has been paid, but
operating profits probably have accumulated.

Please bear in mind that the shortage of labor
is bothering all gold mines and the government
will not permit any mine to expand or any new
mine to open. We are surprised you are not
aware of the situation. The disabilities will end
as soon as the war does and we expect that the
government then will be urging the gold mines,
through every means at their command, to'expand
their outfits.

Many Big Interests in the
Field — Staking

Close

The liewSwayze field is heralded
as the first new one that both pros¬
pectors and geologists have agreed
on as to mine-making possibilities.

Nowhere in Ontario is there
such activity, general interest and
hopeful development of a new gold
mining camp as in the area sur¬
rounding Swayze township, which
gives its name to this new section.

It happens that this new gold
camp is at the junction of the
Porcupine belt of Keewatin layas
and the Swayze-West Shining Tree
belt, and it is possible that the junc¬
tion of these two folds may have
been the focal point of great dis¬
turbances which gave rise to the
fractures in which the gold-bearing
quartz veins are now found. An¬
other undoubtedly favorable fnctor
is the occurrence of the large
masses of feldspar porphyry. It is
a well established fact that the
great gold mines of Ontario are
all associated with these porphyry
intrusions.

Good Progress Made
The progress that has been made
and the encouragement that lias
been met with in the past 1 >
months since the original discovery
was made by J. C. and J. L. Kenty,
prospectors working for Brett-
Tretliewey Mines, and associated
interests, augurs well for intensive
prospecting. , .

When it is realized that the
Swayze area is but 120 miles north¬
west of Sudbury, within easy ac¬
cess of and lying between the Can¬
adian Pacific and Canadian Na¬
tional railways, further emphasis
is given to the importance of first
exhausting these close-in and geo¬
logically f a v o r a b 1 e prospecting
areas before financing expeditions
I to far away and less favorable
I (fields about which little is known.

I : The original find by the Kenty
'brothers, located in the northeast
comer of Swayze township and
1 \ tending. over the boundary into
uore township to the east, holds
the greatest interest in the new
l rea because it is the furthest de-
reloped.

Form Kenty Gold Mines
Owing to the various interests
financing this prospecting pro¬
gramme, the Kenty Gold Mines was
I incorporatetd last September to
[develop the property further. The
I vendors' interest in this company
_ Rrett-Tret hewov MlPCfAJAL
per cent; Northern Canada Min¬
ing Corp., 37 Is per cent; North¬
land Prospectors, 22'v per cent,
and the stakers, Kenty brothers. 10
. per cent. In order to finance the
future programme, Kirkland Bake
1 Gold Mining Co. purchased 200.000
shares and optioned an additional
1.100,000 shares which, with its. af¬
filiated interests, will give it con¬
trol of the company, if and when
: all options are exercised, at a total
1 cost of approximately §1,100,000.
Owing to the absence of other
than aeroplane transportation fa¬
cilities, development in the first 12
months was largely confined to lim¬
ited surface exploration, with the
result that approximately 25 veins
or extensions of veins were dis¬
closed, varying in width from a
few inches up to ten ft. On the No.

1G vein spectacular showings sug¬
gested the "golden sidewalk" of
the early day’s of Dome Mines. Sur¬
face exploration at widely sep¬
arated points was undertaken, ow¬
ing to the excessive over-burden.
Six trenches over a length of 80
ft. disclosed spectacular gold in
quartz averaging approximately a
ft. in width. The finding of such
high grade showings over 80 ft.
with easterly and westerly exten¬
sions showing a total distance of
approximately a third of a mile, in¬
dicates the importance of the find.
An interesting feature of this vein
was that under ten ft. of over-bur¬
den there were marks of glacial
notion which had taken place mil¬
lions of years ago. Both the took
and its liberally splashed gold
I surface show the glacial scratching
| and the smoothing down of tin?
surface gold, providing a museum
specimen of unusual interest.

Province Builds Road
I The Ontario Mines Department
early evidenced interest in the new
district by sending its geologists
into the field and recently a very
mmprehensive report was publish¬
ed on the district. Interest was
further evidenced this fall by the
Ontario Government assisting in
the construction of a road to the
property from Sultan on the Can¬
adian Pacific Railway, about 21
miles distant. About ten miles of
tlie road was new, but from the
old Ridcout-Cunningham property
to the railway, a distance of some
11 miles, was a road cut years ago
and it had to undergo rehabilita¬
tion. Thus, with transportation
facilities, improved an extensive
and deep development programme
was inaugurated this fall at the
Kenty property and already heavy
mining machinery is being deliver¬
er the new road preparatory
^ sinking two shafts to an im¬
mediate objective of 500 ft. Al¬
ready supplies have been taken ir
for the construction of approxi-
ninlolv n dozen camp buildings, fi

Bralorne Gold Mines
Output $1,500 Daily

Bralorne Mines has aver¬
aged about §1,500 in gold
bullion daily since the com¬
mencement of operations at
the old Lore Gold property m
the Bridge River area, B.L.,
Inst February, according to
official figures just given to
The Financial Post. Total
value of production to Oc¬
tober 31, 1932, was §108,372,
including exchange compen¬
sation amounting to §45,393.

The new mill lias operated
at about 100 tons daily indi¬
cating n recovery of about
§13.25 per ton which, with
premium, would amount to
$15. Operating costs are re¬
ported to be approximately
40 per cent of the gross re¬
ceipts.

Feldspar is the name g‘-
an important group of _ rock-,
ing ainerals and having «
common characteristic:-'. It i.
a definite mineral species of|
stunt chemical composition, b
anhydrous silicate of aluml
combined with either potash,,
or lime, largely used in the
amic trade. .

Feldspar mining in Canada
back about 42 years and lias L
centred about the Verona disB
in Frontenac county, Ontario, ■
in the Buckingham district of
bee. In these areas are nume
occurrences of feldspar, while.
the whole of Ontario approxun:
ly 110 properties have been wor.
or known to exist. In Quebec ab 1

Diesel engine-driven power plant
is being installed at No. 1 shaft
site, while 1,800 ft. southeast prep¬
arations are being made for the
installation of a duplicate unit at
the No. 2 shaft site. Sinking opera¬
tions will he carried on simultan¬
eously. A start has alrendy been
made on the No. 1 shaft by means
of a portable compressor and the
head frame will be constructed
shortly.

Miner Kenty Claims
Immediately following the stak¬
ing of the original discoverers
came staking by Miner Kenty ad¬
joining the pioneer discoveries on
I the north and east. This group of

13 claims over the boundary in
Dore township was early optioned
to the Cyril Knight Prospecting
Co., which has been conducting a
surface exploration programme.

Here about a dozen small quartz
veins have been uncovered, similar
mi.neralogicully and structurally to
the Kenty Gold Mines veins, al¬
though their strike is, on a whole,
different from the latter property.

The vein system on the Kenty Gold
Mines appears to be striking di¬
rectly into the Miner Kenty ground,
but as yet -this has not been con¬
firmed. The Kenty Gold Mines No
21 vein is some 525 ft. west of the
Miner Kenty boundary and there
is a chance that some parallel veins
east of the Kenty Gold Mines exist
in the low ground, east of the No.

21 vein. Diaipond drilling is to be
undertaken early in January to
prospect this section of the Miner
Kenty claims. '

The Cyril Knight Prospecting
Co., jointly with the Quebec ProS-.
pectors Ltd., staked the Stewart
group of four claims in the south I
part of Raney township, about
eight miles west of the Kenty
Gold Mines. Here a quartz vein has
been stripped for a few feet at two
points 50 ft. apart. It showed one
ft. width in one exposure and three
ft. at another, the former assaying
S2.40 across the one ft., the latter
nil. Further stripping and sampling
is continuing in the hope of finding
parallel veins,

Rollo Township Claims
In the autumn of 1932 the Cyril
Knight Prospecting Co. staked the
I Ridley group of 15 claims in the
west part of Rollo township, six
miles northwest of the Kenty Gold
Mines. Here a quartz vein vary-
width from two to over 14

.. discovered and stripped at

i ll | -. i b f ' ~' r V

ft. It appears to have a length qt
about 700 ft. and five shots put in
disclosed a little fine native gold.
Further stripping and sampling i=
to be conducted.

Immediately south of the Ridle.V
Lake group of claims of the Cyri
Knight Prospecting Co., the United
States.Smelting, Refining and Min¬
ing Co. has a large block of claims
in Rollo township where a vein
from 6 to 15 inches in width has
been found and stripped for about
95 ft The vein has not been chan¬
nel sampled, but grab samples give*
high assays. This vein is about 300
ft south of the Ridley Lake group
and appears to be dipping toward
this property. A cabin has been
built and extensive surface work

is planned. .. _

The third staker in the new dis¬
trict was Tom Montgomery on be¬
half of the Montgomery Syndicate.

This syndicate holds some 15 claims
surrounding the southerly and east¬
erly holdings of the Kenty Gold
Mines and the Miner Kenty group
of the Cyril Knight Prospecting Co.

A limited amount of surface work
has disclosed two small veins with
further surfnee exploration plan¬
ned early next year.

Derragh Property
The Derragh property, staked
early this year on behalf of a pri¬
vate syndicate comprising princi¬
pally members of the Lake Shore
engineering staff, is regarded as
one of the most promising finds
in the area. It consists of a group
of nine claims bordering, on the
east side of Denyes township, about
five miles west of the Kenty Gold
Mines. The find was made m «
break about 300 ft., west of the
westerly boundary of the Dome
Mines holdings, and to date about
700 ft. of the break has been ex¬
posed, revealing lenses of ore up
to 13 ft. in width and carrying high
values in gold. . ,

This property has been optioned
to the Kirkland Hudson Bay Gold
Mines, controlled by Lake ohoie
interests, and a party of 1- men
has been sent in to continue sui-
face stripping and trenching.

Another find which created con¬
siderable interest last August was
the Dyment Mining & Investment
group of 31 claims situated in
the centre of Denyes township,
some nine miles west of the Kenty
Gold Mines. Here two quartz veins
appear to cross each other. These
veins have a length of about 160 ft,
and average width of around 15 in.
The vein occurs in a schisted area
in places up to 700 ft. in width.
Further surface work is to be con¬
ducted next spring.

Americans Interested
At the Grave-Thorne property ,
consisting of a large group of
claims at the north of Raney Lake
in Raney township, some eight
miles northwest of the Kenty Go d
Mines, three main, veins from si.
inches to two ft. in width have been
exposed. Messrs. Grave and Thorne
are New York pilots operating then
own Fokker airplane have a
number of prospectors in the field,
staking, claims, supposedly for Am¬
erican interests.

The Hughes-Strong , properly,
consisting of 35 claims 111 Hnlciow
township, 1G miles west of the
Kenty Gold Mines, has been actively
explored during past months. A
slieor zone has been exposed by
cross trenches over a length of
720 ft, Three pits have been shot
-open to a maximum depth of 10 tt.

township, 12 miles southwest of the
Kentv" Gold Mines, the Newbec
Mining Co. staked a group of ten
claims. A quartz vein lias been
cross-trenched in eight places oxer
a length of 800 ft. and visible gold
found over widths of from two to

trenching has been done with in¬
conclusive results.

A significant ieature of Inc
Swayze area development is the
calibre of the companies interested.
In addition to those mentioned,
McIntyre Porcupine Mines, .Gome
Mines, Consolidated Smelteis and
Sylvanite Gold Mines as well as
syndicates financed by well known
mining men are in the field. Hun¬

Many Eminent Men Will
Visit Cobalt in August

The Cobalt portion of the program
in connection with the International
Geological Congress, which is to be
held in Toronto in August is now to
hand. The congress is held quadren¬
nially and this is the third occasion

which the venue has been tne

North American continent, and the
first time Canada has had an oppor
! tunlty to do the honors,
j The first meeting place of the In¬
ternational Geologists on this side
I of the Atlantic war Washington and
eight years ago saw the second and
i previous one to this in Mexico with
Mexico City as the radial point. Two
parties from among the visitors will
visit the North Country, the first of
these to investigate before the actual
congress commences and the second
after it is concluded.

The first party will leave Toronto
I on the 27th of July and wij. spend
the morning of Monday the 28t.h ex¬
amining the geological formation
•xiorsini Cobalt. i.v the- afternoon
: some of the leading mines will be
j visited, and in aid probability in the 1
evening, the visitors will be accorded
a similar reception to that by which
the Canadian Press Associated repre¬
sentatives were entertained by the
Canadian Club ctf Temdskainiiug.
Tuesday will be spent, in more geolo¬
gical investigations of the country
j around Lake TemAskaming and the
party will leave Haileybury for Por-
j cupine that night. Other points in
1 the north which will be visited are

: Sudbury, Temagami, etc.

CITY’S GEOLOGICAL

HISTORY REVIEWED

During

mportant Congress of
Men From Many Coun¬
tries.

An interesting sidelight on the his¬
tory of Toronto will be given in un¬
usually instructive character in con¬
nection with the International Geolo¬
gical Congress which assembles here
next month. The occasion will be ra¬
ther momentous in the calling tog'ether
of delegates from all corners of the
globe and the discussion of peculiar
problems of natural science which
have presented themselves to them.

J. B. Tyrrell has under way a com¬
pendium of facts of interest In the
field of natural science which are not
generally appreciated, and these will
be presented in the form of lectures j
and afterwards compiled into a book.
This, it is understood, is in co-opera¬
tion with the department of education
and will be placed on the government
files as a reference of value.

Thirty-six countries will send re¬
presentatives to the conference, and
the arrangement of accommodation
will be in the hands of Prof. Coleman
of Toronto University.

men deal with the various phases of
Toronto's formation and character
in their respective spheres.

The enterprise has received the
encouragement of the Provincial De¬
partment of Education, and will
take the form of a unique work,
never before attempted on this con¬
tinent, which will deal with the nat¬
ural science of Toronto and vicinity.
The work will treat with the geolo¬

climate, ornathology, animal life and
natural characteristics of Toronto,
each department being prepared by
an authority on the subject dealt,

GEOLOGICAL GUIDE BOOKS

For use of those attending the Geological Congress
in Canada this year, the Geological Survey has pre¬
pared a very remarkable set of guide books. All the
producing mining districts and areas presenting inter¬
esting structural features are described and mapped.
The country along the whole length of the transcon¬
tinental railroads is described briefly, and illustrated
by maps that illustrate the noteworthy features, with¬
out being encumbered with a maze of unimportant
detail The guide books contain 140 such maps, am
will for years be a valuable source of information. 1 he
maps of the whole country have been brought up to
date and published in attractive and convenient form.

The undertaking was a gigantic one; but it has been
very successfully accomplished. Director R. W. Bim v
and the whole staff of the Geological Survey have
made a splendid success of the work, and the Govern¬
ment printer has shown that Canada has facilities tor
turning out such work in a remarkably snort time. 1 o
publish such a large number of maps and accompany¬
ing text without taking several years for the work was
only a few years ago considered quite impossible. It
is therefore very creditable to find that Canada has
prepared for our European visitors the best st t o
guide books yet issued by any country.

= The Congress will supply guide books to all those
who take part in the excursions. Complete sets will he

INTERNATIONAL GEOLOGICAL CONGRESS

During the three years since the last meeting of the
Congress, the officers have been preparing for this
meeting in Canada. The Dominion and Provincial
Governments have contributed liberally, and the rail¬
roads have made very low rates for members attending.
During the past year a very large number of Govern¬
ment geologists have been working on maps and
descriptions of the centres to be visited. The mining
companies have given much assistance and will offer
the members unusual opportunities of seeing the
properties.

Among those who will visit us this summer will be
many of the most prominent geologists in the world.
It means much that these men by their visit will obtain
some idea of the wonderful possibilities of Canada as
a mineral producing country.

The first excursion, A1 in charge of Dr. G. A. Young,
leaves Montreal July 13. A visit will be made to
Quebec and vicinity on July 14, and the following day
will be spent on the south shore of the St. Lawrence.
Then two days will be spent studying the formation
at the eastern extremity of Gaspe Peninsula. On July
19, iron deposits of Bathurst, New Brunswick, will be
examined. On July 20 the party will be in Halifax.
Visits will be made to the gold and coal mines and the
industrial plants at Sydney, Antigonish, Joggins,
Moncton, and St. John will be starting points for sev¬
eral local excursions to study geological structures.
The party will return to Ottawa Friday, August 1st.

On July 24 Dr. F. D. Adams and Dr. A. E. Barlow
lead a party to points of interest in the Haliburton-
Bancroft area, Eastern Ontario. The area lies to the
north of Lake Ontario, on the margin of the Lauren-
tian Protaxis of the continent. In this district is ex¬
posed the most notable section of the Grenville Series
in Canada. The strata show to a remarkable degree
the results of progressive metamorphism, as a conse¬
quence of the intrusion of extensive batholiths of
granite, producing various types of amphibolite, etc.
This district is also interesting by reason of the very
extensive development of nepheline and other alkaline
syenites, some of which are of the rarer types. In
certain localities these rocks 'contain an abundance of
corundum, while elsewhere sodalite, of a fine depth
of colour, is conspicuous. The excursion will also include
an inspection of the corundum mines and mills at
Craigmont. This party wall visit Craigmont on July
30 and arrive in Ottawa July 31.

The guides for the first excursion of members of the
Congress to Sudbury, Porcupine and Cobalt will be:
Dr. W. G. Miller, C. W. Knight and A. G. Burrows, of
the Ontario Bureau of Mines; Professors A. P. Cole¬
man and T. L. Walker, of the University of Toronto;
Mr. J. B. Tyrrell, consulting mining engineer. Toronto ;
and Mr. Arthur A. Cole, mining engineer of the T. and
N. 0. Rv. Commission, Cobalt.

Dr. W. G. Miller. Provincial Geologist, who is leader
on this trip, has arranged to open quarters at his office
in the Parliament Buildings for the convenience of the
excursionists. The start will be made from Toronto
Wednesday evening. July 23, and from Montreal Wed¬
nesday morning.

LOGAN MEMORIAL.

At the meeting of the Organization Committee of the
Twelfth International Geological Congress, held at the
Chateau Laiirier, Ottawa, on Tuesday, March 4th, 1913,
it was moved by Mr. W. Fleet Robertson and seconded
by Mr. W. F. Ferrier and carried:

“That the Logan Memorial Committee, consisting of
Messrs. Barlow, Brock, Coleman and Miller, be instruct¬
ed to proceed with the arrangements for the erection of
suitable memorials to the late Sir William Logan, the
locations and characters of the memorials to be left to the
named committee and that the Organization Committee
guarantee the expenses up to the sun of Five Hundred
Dollars.”

In agreement with this motion the Logan Memorial
Committee have asked Mr. Plenri Hebert to design and
execute a bronze tablet measuring 25 by 30 inches, with a
suitable inscription and a bust of Sir William Logan in
relief. The original of this tablet will be placed in a
suitable and conspicuous place near the entrance of the
Victoria Memorial Museum at Ottawa. A duplicate will
be securely fastened in position on the southern face of
a conspicuous exposure of limestone breccia near the
village of Perce, (Gaspe Peninsula), Quebec.

Subscriptions may be handed to any of the members of
the Logan Memorial Committee or sent direct to the
Secretary of the Twelfth International Geological Con¬
gress, Victoria Memorial Museum, Ottawa.

You are cordially invited to subscribe.

GEOLOGISTS EXPLORE

ROCKS O F QUEBEC

FIRST EXCURSION OF CONGRESS j
NOW EX ROUTE TO MARITIME
TROVINCES.

.(Special Despatch to Tlic Globe.)

Montreal, July 15.—Old Quebec has
been the scene of many inquisitions
and conferences. On numberless
occasions the lower province of the
Dominion has had its joints ran¬
sacked for historical documents, mo-
mentos of the early frontier days
and relics of the battlefield. It has
seen the International Joint High
Commission come and go, but now
for the first time in its existence it
yields to the impulse of men who
would go back before history, who
would penetrate into the very ver¬
tebrae, of the continent. The Inter¬
national Geological Congress will
meet in its twelfth session in Toron¬
to on August 7, when some 700 de¬
legates, representing all countries in
the world will gather, together.

Preliminary to that Congress ex¬
cursions are being held for those who
can participate at this time. The
first of these excursions left Mon- 1
t.real last night for a nineteen days’ |
tour through Quebec, New Brunswick
and Ontario. Some 300 geologists
participated in this “preliminary'*
side-trip. To-day was spent in Que¬
bec, examining the geological forma¬
tions at Levis and Montmorency
Falls. From Quebec the party will
continue along the north shore of the
St. Lawrence to Riviere du Loup,
where the Bic conglomerates will be
seen with their Cambrian pebbles;
thence to the "Palaeozic strata and
Appalachian structure at Gaspe Pen¬
insula,” and so on through Devon¬
ian bods, fish, fauna, volcanic intru-
sives and iron ore deposits.

The party is travelling in semi¬
state, a special train being provided
with ample accommodation for the
carrying of baggage and specimens, a
first-class coach for lectures cn route,
dining and sleeping accommodation
with de luxe appointments. The par¬
ty will return to Montreal by August
1st.

Similar excursions are being ar¬
ranged into the llaliburton, Cobalt
and Niagara Falls districts in On¬
tario.

Arrangements Made For
Their Entertainment

At the annual meeting of the Co¬
balt Branch of the Canadian Mining
institute the executive were empower¬
ed to make all necessary arrange¬
ments for the entertainment of the
members of the Internationa) Geolol
gical Congress who visit the camp.

The. first party which will consist
of about forty members will first
visit Sudbury and Moose Mountain,
and arrive in Cobalt on their special
train on Sunday night, July 27.

On Monday, the Geologists with
Dr. W. G. Miller as their guide will
be taken up the Little Silver valley
following the Kerr Lake branch of the
T. & N. O. rniiway to the Cobalt
Provincial Mine. The party will cut
across to Diabase Mountain by way
of Peterson Lake. In the afternoon
the mining engineers who are not
particularly interested in geology,
will be shown the Temiskaming and
Crown Reserve and other producersi of
interest.

July 29th will be spent on Lake
Temiskaming the shore line being
followed »,n gasoline launches. Im¬
mediately on their return the special
train will leave for Porcupine'.

July 30th will be spent in Porcu¬
pine camp. The special train will
run through to Timmins. The morn¬
ing will be 1 spent at the Hollinger,
the afternoon at the Dome.

The second excursion of members
who could not participate iu’'the first
trip will follow the same route arriv¬
ing at Cobalt 20th. The 20th and
21st will be spent in Cobalt and on
Lake Temiskaming and the 22nd in
Porcupine.

LOADED THEIR POCKETS 1
WITH ROCK SPECIMENS

Geologists Found Plenty to Interest
Them at Cobalt Yesterday

It was nearly 9 o’clock before the
launch Patricia took the last of the
Patricia conveyed the last of the
members of the International Geolog-'
ical Congress across Cobalt lake to
the Nipissdng property yesterday
morning. Two trips were required
before all the excursionists reached
the other side of the lake and two
more would have been necessary had
the visitors turned out in full. As
it was, onlv about thirty-five accom¬
panied Dr. Miller. Many and varied
were the costumes worn, and of
these, that of the Abbe Morin, Pro¬
fessor of Natural Sciences at the
i Seminaire de Joliette, Quebec, was
I the most remarkable, and it was in
striking contrast to the sober black
worn by his fellow churchmen. The
Canadian contingent for the most
part were clad in regulation bush
garb, and from that the clothes de¬
scended through gradual changes to
| nufti. “Sore-thumb” leggings and
puttees were much in evidence and
;ven a pair of larrigans was sported
by Professor Kemp, of Columbia Uni¬
versity.

The earlier starters were grouped
it the foot of the keewatin rocks on
the town side of the “Little Silver
Vein” when the late arrivals over-
.ook them and on the uniting of the
parties all was bustle and excite¬
ment. Cameras were snapping on all
sides, the click-click of hammers
moke the stillness and magnifying
'lasses were passed from hand to
land as their possessors satisfied
hemselves with their examination of
heir own particular samples. A lit-
le further on the “Little Silver
Vein" was reached and the geologists
rlambered on to a heap of rocks near
he powderhouse from which a splen-
lid view of the cleft could be ob-
.ained and from which Dr. Miller
lilated on the formation. About
half an hour was spent at this
mint, and during the halt, numerous
vlpine feats were performed by the
nore interested for the purpose of ob-
aining a closer and better examina
tion of the rocks.

From there Dr. Miller led the par-
,y along the Kerr Lake tracks and
jefore going far, another object of
nterest was reached. This was a
idge by the side of the track of
onglomerate cn keewatin and it
roused much interest, discussions ir.
i babel of tongues interspersing the
nspections. The party was now
•tailing off” considerable, groups
•.nd individuals lagging behind busily

examining anything that took their
particular fancy while the others
proceeded. The explanation of this
is that while some were interested in
the minerals the rocks contained,
others found food for reflection in the
antiquity of the rocks themselves.

At this point the “Nugget” report
er engaged in a chat with. Professor
Cole, Director cf the Geological Sur¬
vey of Ireland and Professor Merciai
of the Institute) Geologico della Regia
Universita, 'Piza, Italy, both of when
were paying their first visit to Cana¬
da. Asked what they thought of the
rocks in this part, they both agreed
that they were very similar to those
of Sweden though swept considerably
barer. Professor Cole expressed him
self delighted with the trip and said
that when hei got back to his stu
dents he would have the country in
bis mind’s eye and 1 would be able to
talk to them enthusiastically about
the various formations. He said that
travel was the only way to learn
geology and he quoted Sir Charles
Lyell of the University College of
' London whose advice to those who
wanted to learn geology was “The
first requirement is travel, the sec¬
ond requirement is travel and the
third requirement is travel.”

The Provincial workings were next
reached and a heap of diamond drill
ceres lying there were eagurly pounc¬
ed upon and added to the already
swollen collections. Professor Lane,
of Boston, had his pockets stuffed
with' specimens, and when a wag in
the. party augumented his supply
with a few stones picked at random
from the roadside, the offender was
in danger for a moment of getting
samples and all flung at his head.

Advancing in a circle towards Co
bait from this point an old prospect
tunnel next aroused attention as it
gave a splendid example of the con¬
tact of the diabase and Cobalt series
a few feet above the floor. An abun¬
dance of raspberries and the coolness
of the tunnel still further depleted
the ranks and it was a mere handful
which arrived at the Penn-Oanadian
on Glen Lake. From this point the
party gradually worked their way
back to town. In the afternoon the
party was split up. and the various
plants were visited.

Mr. Reginald Hore, the editor cf
the Canadian Mining Journal accom¬
panied the geologists this morning
in his professional capacity, and
what he has to say about the excur¬
sion should make interesting read¬
ing.

NOTABLE PARTY LEAVES
TO EXPLORE NORTH

d

COME BACK ON AUGUST 1

“We are looking forward to having
the time of our lives,” said Mr. Bed¬
ford McNeill, President of the Institu¬
tion of Mining and Metallurgy, Lon¬
don, Eng., last night to The Globe
just before the departure of excursion
A3 of the International Geological
Congress for Sudbury, Cobalt and
Porcupine, and Mr. McNeill’s ap¬
pearance did not belie the statement.
He was looking as happy as a school¬
boy going for a holiday, but his
shrewd remarks on Canada showed
that little escaped his observation.
“There is an inherent vitality about
Canadians that is unmistakable.”
said Mr. McNeill, “and one of the
things that impressed me more than
anything else is the careful attention
that is paid to technical science and
the way you are preparing the
younger generation.” “I shall never
forget the few days that I spent in
Quebec,” said Mr. McNeill. “It is a
charming city. Perhaps the most
striking impression made upon me so
far' was the singing of 'O Canada’ on
board ship coming across the Atlan¬

tic.”

One of the striking figures on the
platform of the station last night was
Mr. A. E. Kitson of the Imperial In¬
stitute, London, and Director of the
Government Geological Survey of the
Gold Coast, Africa, a short, thick-set
man, wearing a pith helmet much
worn on the Gold Coast. “I am
charmed with Toronto,” said Mr. Kit¬
son, “and the buildings are magnifi¬
cent.” M,r. Kitson travelled to Can¬
ada by way of Australia and 'Frisep,
and is, like all scientists, always on the
lookout^for anything pertaining to his
work. “I saw some splendid examples
of erosion in Nevada and Wyom¬
ing, said he. Mr. Kitson ha.s spent
some years in Australia, and climbed
to the top of Mount Kosciusko in New
South Wales before there was an
Observatory established there.

present a bill before the British "Gov-i
eminent which provides for a loan of
$15,000,000 to be used for the irriga¬
tion scheme and also for the build¬
ing of railways. The district thus ir¬
rigated will stimulate the gum and
cotton industry and transform the
arid region into a smiling land.

Herr Heinrich Schulze of Hanover
was full of admiration for Toronto.
“Toronto is a wonderful city,” said he.
“There are few cities in Germany to
compare with Toronto, your build¬
ings are a revelation to me; their size
and situation are admirable. The
monuments and the buildings in
Queen’s Park are in beautiful har¬
mony'.”

Nearly Sixty Leave for North.

The party, which numbered near'v
Sixty, included some of the. leading
geologists, mineralogists, paleontolo¬
gists and mining engineers cf the
world, and altogether it was cne or
the most remarkable gatherings ot
men that ever left the Union Station.
The leader is Mr. Wlllet G. Miller,
Provincial Geologist of the Depart¬
ment of Lands, Forests and Mines.
With him are associate leaders for
Sudbury, coDatt ana Borcupme.
This excursion is of special interest to
those interested in pre-Cambrian geol¬
ogy, petrography’, economic geology
and metalliferous mining, as well as
glacialogists and students of forestry’.
The chief points of interest are the
nickel and copper deposits of Sud¬
bury; the iron mines of Moose Moun¬
tain; the iron range of Timagami;
the cobalt-silver deposits of Cobalt
and the gold quartz veins of Porcu¬
pine. In addition to containing some
of the world’s most earnnus metallif¬
erous deposits, the localities to be
visited possess unexcelled facilities for
the study of typical exposures of the
Keewatin, Laurentian and Huronian
systems.

Sixty Scientists Here From Ail
Ends of the Earth

COME BACK ON AUGUST 1

Survey on Gold Coast; Government
Geologist From Khartoum in the

“We are looking forward to having
the time of our lives,” said Mr. Bed¬
ford McNeill, President of the Institu¬
tion of Mining and Metallurgy, Lon¬
don. Eng., last night to The Globe
just before the departure of excursion
A3 of the International Geological
Congress for Sudbury, Cobalt and
Porcupine, and Mr. McNeill’s ap¬
pearance did not belie the statement.
He was looking as happy as a school¬
boy going for a holiday, hut his
shrewd remarks on Canada showed
that little escaped his observation.

“There is an inherent vitality about
Canadians that is unmistakable.”
said Mr. McNeill, “and one of the
things that impressed me more than
anything else is the careful attention
that is paid to technical science and
the way you are preparing the
younger generation.” “I shall never
forget the few days that I spent in
Quebec.” said Mr. McNeill. “It is a
charming city. Perhaps the most
striking impression made upon me so
far was the singing of ‘O Canada’ on
board ship coming across the Atlan¬
tic.”

One of the striking figures on the
platform of the station last night was
Mr. A. E. Kitson of the Imperial In¬
stitute, London, and Director of the
Government Geological Survey of the
Gold Coast, A^ica, a short, thick-set
man, wearing a pith helmet much
worn on the Gold Coast. “I am
charmed with Toronto,” said Mr. Kit¬
son, “and the buildings are magnifi¬
cent.” Mr. Kitson travelled to Can¬
ada by way’ of Australia and 'Frisco,
and is, like all scientists, always on the
lookout for anything pertaining to his
work. “I saw some splendid examples
of erosion in Nevada and Wyom¬
ing,” said he. Mr. Kitson has spent
some years in Australia, and climbed
to the top of Mount Kosciusko in New
South Wales before there was an
Observatory established there.

An Empire-DulKIer.

A true Empire-builder is Mr. George
Walter Grabham, Government Geolo¬
gist, Khartoum, Anglo-Egyptian Su¬
dan. Tall and bronzed with exposure
to the warm Sudanese sun, he ar¬
rests attention. Mr. Grabham and
his associates are busy upon a huge
dam that is to be erected near Khar¬
toum. which will cost $35,000,000 be¬
fore it is completed. There is at
present a bill before the British Gov¬
ernment which provides for a loan of
$15,000,000 to be used for the irriga¬
tion scheme and also for the build¬
ing of railways. The district thus ir¬
rigated will stimulate the gum and
cotton industry and transform the
'arid region into a smiling land.

Herr Heinrich Schulze of Hanc
was full of admiration for Toroi,
“Toronto Is a wonderful city,” said he
“There are few cities in Germany to
compare with Toronto. four build¬
ings are a revelation to me; their size
and situation are admirable. The
monuments and the buildings in
Queen’s Park are in beautiful har¬
mony.”

rii-xt-y Leave- for North.

The party, which numbered nr-arh
sixty, included some or tne leading
geologists, mineralogists, paleontolo¬
gists and mining engineers of the
world, and altogether it was cne of
the most remarkable gatherings or
men that ever left the Union Station.
The leader is Mr. Wlllet G. Miller,
Provincial Geologist of the Depart¬
ment of Lands, Forests and Mines.
With him are associate leaders for
Suabury, cobalt and Rorcupine.
This excursion is of special interest to
those interested in pre-Cambr ian geol¬
ogy’, petrography, economic geology
and metalliferous mining, as well as
glacialogists and students of forestry.
The chief points of interest are the
nickel and copper deposits of Sud¬
bury; the iron mines of Moose Moun¬
tain; the iron range of Timagami;
the cobalt-silver deposits of Cobalt
and the gold quartz veins of Porcu¬
pine. In addition to containing some
of the world’s most metallif¬

erous deposits, the localities to he
visited possess unexcelled facilities for
the study of typical exposures of the
Keewatin, Laurentian and Huronian

systems.

written of any city in America. In
it is’ comprised the History, Geology,
Archaeology, Climatology and Natural
History of Toronto and its vicinity for
a radius of about fifty miles. Pro¬
fessor J. H. Faull of the University
of Toronto is the editor, assisted by
a committee of the Institute.

All the articles have been contrib¬
uted by members of the Institute,
specialists in the subjects treated.
These comprise a specification of the
flora and fauna of the Toronto region
■with details, not alone as to species,
but also of the places where they may
be found. Interesting illustrations
and important useful maps detached
and beautifully executed, accompany
this book.

The aim of the Institute has been
to ensure that all the information
contained in the work should be auth¬
entic, accurate, and up-to-date. This
result the council of the Institute feel

I they have attained.

The object of the publication of
the book at this particular time is on
the part of the Canadian Institute to
contribute to the literature of and to
commemorate the first meeting of the
International Geological Congress in
Canada at Toronto, and to enable
geologists in attendance at the con¬
gress to acquaint themselves with the
natural phenomena of Toronto and
its vicinity.

While that purpose is served, the
book will always fill a permanent and
Important place in the scientific liter¬
ature of Ontario. The book is com¬

Excursion 3 A Away to
Good Start

The fifty-six members of the 3A ex¬
cursion of the Geological Convention
are in Sudbury, where they will re¬
main until one o’clock Sunday, when
they will leave for Cobalt. There are
a good many points of interest of
which Sudbury is the centre, Copper
Cliff, the Mond smelter at Coniston,
the new work tit (the old Murray
mine, en d Moose Mountain iron mine.
The Sudbury Board of Trade will
banquet the party on Saturday nighs
when it-is probable the Hon. W. H.
Hearst will be present.

The special train of Pullmans as it
left Toronto made a good impression
and the excursion has so far been at¬
tended by fine weather and the best
of luck.

The party will arrive here on Sun¬
day night.

“We are looking forward to having
the time of our lives,” said Mr. Bed¬
ford McNeill, President ctf the Insti¬
tution of Mining and Metallurgy,
London, Eng., just before the de¬
parture of the excursion for Sud¬
bury, Cobalt and Porcupine, and Mr.
McNeilil’8 appearance did not belie
the statement. He was looking as
happy as a schoolboy going for a
holiday, but his shrewd remarks on
Canada showed that little escaped
his observation. “There is an in-
lerent vitality about Canadians that
s unmistakable,” said Mr. McNeill,
'and one of the things that impress-
id me more than anything else is the
areful attention that is paid to toch-
lical science and the way you are
ireparing the younger generation.”
‘I shall never forget the few days
that I spent in Quebec,” said Mr.
McNeil. “It is a charming city.
Perhaps the most evoking impres¬
sion made upon me so far was the
unging of ‘O Canada’ on board ship
;oming across the Atlantic.”

One of the striking figures on the
platform of the station was Mr. E.
A. Kitson of the Imperial Institute,
London, and Director of the Govern¬
ment Geological Survey of the Gold
Coast, Africa, a short, thick-set man
wearing a pith helmet much worn on
,.he Gold Coast. Mr. Kitson travel¬
led to Canada by way of Australia
and Frisco, and is. like all scientists,
always on the lookout for anything
pertaining to his work. “I saw some

splendid samples of erosion in Nevada

inH Wrrnmlncr ’ 1 aoiH llP 1VT T* K it.Rflll

xnd Wyoming,” said he. Mr. Kitson
has spent some years in Australia,
and climbed to the top of Mount
Kosciusko in New South Wales be¬
fore there was an observatory estab¬
lished there.

A true empire-builder is Mr. George
Walter Grabham, Government Geolo¬
gist, Khartoum, Anglo-Egyptian Su¬
dan. Tall and bronzed with expos¬
ure to the warm Sudanese sun, he
arrests attention. Mr, Grabham and
his associates are busy upon a huge
dam that is to be erected near
Khartoum, which wilt cost $35,000,-
000 before it is completed. There is
at present a bill before 1 the British
Government which provides for a
loan of $15,000,000 to be used for
the irrigation scheme and also for
the building of railways.

STEAMER SILVER-LAND, WHICH HAS BEEN CHARTERED FOR
GEOLOGIST’S TRIP TO-DAY.

IN COBALT TOWN

Geologists Arrived in Gamp Last Night
And Are Spending Day Visiting
The Mines

After three strenuous days in the
nickel belt ol Sudbury the first ex¬
cursion of members of the interna¬
tional Geological Congress arrived
in Cobalt last night on a special
train, in spite of the fact that one
moriAng members were routed out of
their berths at six o’clock in the
morning and the Sudbury Board of
Trade banquet lasted till one o'clock
in the morning all of the par tv look¬
ed fresh and well and are seeking
fresh worlds to conquer. During the
sta- In Bud bur v the party was under
the guidance of Prof. Coleman who
has made a study of the Sudbury
nickel field. With the limited time
at the disposal of the party he cov¬
ered every point of outstanding in¬
terest. The great pit at, Creighton,
the big furnaces and smelting plant
at. Copper Cliff, the Mond smelter
at Coniston, the Murray mine and
the Mooes Mountain iron mins, all
were seen, in the space of two days-.
On Sunday, Dr. Miller who is In
charge (.if the expedition decreed a
rent for those who desired it. Con
sequently all the party arrived in
Cobalt keen to observe the silver
field.

The excursion has been admirably
arranged. The visitors carry their
own dining car and the expedition is
in every respect self-contained. The
C.P1R. has put the arrangement^ in
the hands of some of their most ex¬
perienced officials and everything
moves smoothly. The visitors are
particularly pleased with the ar¬
rangement's made for '.herr conven¬
ience in the baggage car. Here all
their trunks and grips are on shelves
and easily obtainable. Underneath
trains and boxes have bean provided
for specimens. Each member has
also been provided with sample bags
and inaps of all kinds. Dr. Miller hag
rten that iii enc-h car inaps of all
kinds, illustrating tlvr district have
been pinned up and he and Prof.
Cyril Knight and Prof. Burrows, all
of the Ontario Gck logical Depart¬
ment have been marking out the
chi f points of interest, on every
available occasion.

This morning ail the members' were
up blight and earlv to catch the
gasoline over Cobalt Lake, the trip
for the (lav commencing at the Little
Pd Ivor vein on the Nipissing, where
the original Nipissing company took
out $200,fl0'0 in the very early days
of the camp. Afterwards thev stud¬
ied geological conditions under the
guidance of Dr. Miller, as far as
Diabase Mountain returning to their
diner for lunch. This afternoon the

part- will be. split up among various
mines. The five ladies accompanying
the party visited Hailey bury this
morning.

The language miestion which at one
time promised to be e-iious, has been
solved. Two thirds of the visitors
Shave enough English to understand
and be understood but those "who
were not conversant with the Anglo-
Saxon found a common basis of con¬
versation in German with the 1 excep¬
tion of the Italian representatives;-
It was surmised >- the leaders of the
expedition that the representatives
from Quebec might find a common
Latin basis with the Savants from

Successful Reception to
Geologists Last

Night |

A most successful reception was
tendered the visiting geologists last
night at the Masonic Hall t>v the Co¬
balt branch of the Canadian Mining
■ Institute. It took the form, of short
papers, shorter speeches, light refresh-i
rnents and a dance without which any
event in Cobalt is incomplete.

In addition to the visitors there
was a good number of the members;
of the Mining Institute present.

Mrs. E, V. Neeiands, whose husjt'pnd
is this year chairman of the local
branch, received the guests, assisted
by Mrs. R. P. Rogers, and Mrs. B.
Ncilly. Mr. A. A. Cole exhibited
with the aid of the lantern a set of
pictures from his unique 1 collection of
views of the camp. A more graphic
method af showing the occurence of
the narrow rich vetns in the various
formations it would have been im¬
possible to obtain. Equally lucid was
his exposition of the slides.

The paper of Mr. Reid lias been
noticed in another column. The
chairman (Mr. E. V. Neeiands)- called
the meeting together with a few
words of welcome to the visitors said
that if the eminent soientists who
were with them today would not only
tell them where the ore came from
but where to go for more ho could
assure them that they would forever
after live in the memory of the mine
managers of- the camp, (laugnter.).

Called upon to speak for the visit¬
ors, Mr. Chas. McDermid, secretary of
the Institution of Mining and Metal¬
lurgy, London, Eng., said that prob¬
ably one of the reasons he was asked
to speak was that he had been to the
camp five years before and was there¬
fore in a position to 'rhav«v i

sons. He said he was very much im- j
pressed with the importance of the i
Cobalt camp, not only to Canada, |

but to the whole world.

'What I

have seen today,” said Mr. McDermid
‘‘has absolutely astounded me.” lie!
added laughingly that when the veins j
of the camp are nearing their end—
which will not be in this century or
the next—(laughter) they might;
change Cobalt into a pleasure resort
for Europeans to visit.

Called upon as the representatives U. v
Ireland, Mr. G. A. J. Cole, director
of the Geological Survey of Ireland,
said that he was hardly competent to
speak to the question since in Ireland
his department had little ta do with
economic geology. But he could ap¬
preciate the important position the
economic geologists did occupy in
building up camps, towns and provin¬
ces even. He had a good word to
say for Ireland. As an agricultural
country it was ring-ulurU prosperous;
In Ireland the housing problem had
been solved for houses* had been built
for the peasant and he was now an
independent landowner on a small
scale.

To-day before the Steamer Silver-
land leaves for the Wright mine down
Lake Timiskaming a number of mem¬
bers of the party will visit mines
that they had no time to see yester¬
day.

Under the general leadership of Dr.
Miller with the very able assistance
of Mr. R. W. Rogers, secretary, all
the arrangements have gone quite
smoothly.

Important Work Issued in Con¬
nection With Congress

IS COMPILED BY EXPERTS

Mr. G. G. S. Lindsey, K.C., of This
City, Chairman of the Committee—
Co-operation of All Countries Se¬
cured in the Production.

For some years the attention not
only of geologists and mine-owners,
but also of the general public, has
been directed to the question of the
coal reserves of the world. The very
large increase in the consumption of
coal in recent years makes this ques¬
tion of the world's supply of great
importance to almost every country.
The Eleventh International Geologi¬
cal Congress dealt with the iron ore
reserves of the world, calling atten¬
tion to the fact that, along with coal,
the iron ore supply is one of the most
Important factors in industrial de¬
velopment, and to the radical import¬
ance of the relations between supply
and demand in these materials to the
industry of the future. The Swedish
Congress published a monograph of
two quarto volumes and one of maps.

The twelfth session of the Inter¬
national Geological Congress, to be
held in Toronto, therefore, decided to
make coal the chief subject for dis¬
cussion at that session. In order tc
obtain a sure basis for the discussion
and to secure a profitable result the
co-operation of colleagues in every
country has been received, so that
statistics of the amount and distri¬
bution of the world's supply of coal
should be available.

Early in 1911 a committee was ap¬
pointed by the Executive to apply to
the Governments of all countries to
information and to publish a mifho
graph on the coal resources ofy the
world, of which committee Mr. G. G. S. I
Lindsey, B.A., K.C., is Chairman. The
other members are:—-

Frank D. Adams, D.Sc., F.R.S.,
Dean of the faculty of applied science
and Logan professor of geology, Mc¬
Gill University, Montreal, Canada.

R. W. Brock, M.A., F.R.S.C., di¬
rector of the geological survey ot
Canada.

D. B. Dowling, B.A.Sc., F.R.S.C.,

sity. Montreal.

New Classllleation.

The initial difficulty was to find a
universal classification of coals ac¬
ceptable to the world at large, but so
successfully was this accomplished
that only one country raised any ques¬
tion as to its sufficiency. This en¬
tirely new classification will hence¬
forth require all coals to be standard¬
ized according to it.

The work, which has been edited'
by D. B. Dowling, William Mclnnes,
B.A.. F.R.S.C., geological survey,

Ottawa, and William W. Leach, B.A.
Sc., geologist geological survey, Ot¬
tawa. is now ready. It consists of
three large auarto volumes of letter
Dress, making fourteen hundred
pages and a volume of seventy maps
in colors.

Each country of the world seleci-
ed its leading authorities, usually ex¬
perts connected with the official Gov¬
ernment Geological Surveys or De¬
partments of Mines, to secure mater¬
ial for and write its chapter. In
many cases new investigations in the
field were necessary, unpublished
material was drawn upon, and old
work revised and brought up to date.
The result is a most complete and
authoritative statement of the coal
resources of the globe. Not only is
the quantity of coal discussed, but
also the amount of each kind, its
mode and conditions of occurrence in
each country and in each State. Even
the Arctic and Antarctic regions are.
covered. Fifty-two countries have
articles of length, fifteen are covered
by short articles, nine report no re¬
sources of coal, twenty-five colonies
are included in the reports of the
mother lands. A chapter of about one
hundred pages summarizes the in¬
dividual statements and totals the re¬
sources of the world.

The work is well illustrated with
figures, maps, etc., but in addition to
these text illustrations there is the
atlas of maps in color showing the
distribution of the coal areas and the
geology of the more important fields.

(Special Despatch to The Globe.)

Cobalt, July 29.—Over to Nipissing
Hill there came yesterday M. H. Lan-
tenois, Chief Engineer of the Depart¬
ment of Mines for Indo-China. The
jourrfey, which commenced at Tonkin,
ended yesterday on Nipissing Hill.
This is but an indication of the inter¬
national nature of the Congress and
this particular excursion. The lan¬
guage question has been most in¬
geniously solved. {Svery man is tag¬
ged with his own name most legibly
written. But there also flutters at
his buttonhole one, two or three rib¬
bons. If one only and red, that means
that he talks English only, blue sig¬
nifies that he is a French linguist, and
yellow that German is no mystery to
him. With these three key languages
everyone is getting along. Still it is
a little difficult.

A Dumb Explanation.

An Italian was left at the top of the
shaft with a Canadian geologist en¬
tirely innocent of everything but
Anglo-Irish. They went through the
mill together, the Canadian explaining
all in dumb show. The Italian dele¬
gate made him his best bow at the
end of the performance, and told the
Canadian in rapid-fire Latin, accord¬
ing to a French-Canadran, that he
was everlastingly in the debt of the
distinguished Senor.

There is not a Scotsman nor a real
Irishman in the party. Mr. G. A. J.
Cole, Director of the Geological Sur¬
vey of Ireland, is merely Sassenach
improved by sojourn in Ireland.
Yet when the versatile C.P.R. con¬
ductor of the special train piped the
members to the reception tendered
them in the Masonic Hall here there
was loud applause from the aliens
present.

At last night’s reception Mr. Chas.
McDermid. Secretary of the Institu¬
tion of Mining and Metallurgy, said
he was astounded at the progress
that had been made in the camp since
he was there five years ago. “When
the veins pinch out. which will not be
in this century or the next,” he said
jocosely, “Cobalt might be changed!
to a pleasure resort for Europeans.”

Mr. Fraser Reid of the Coniagas;
told the visitors on paper that the
mills of the camp were treating 2.00O
tons per day and producing fourteen
million ounces a year.

After the reception there was a
dance of all the nations before the
visitors returned to their berths on
the special train. To-day the main
party will visit the oldest silver mine
in Canada on Lake Timiskaming. A
party of twelve distinguished metal¬
lurgists will go north to Kirkland
Lake this afternoon, they having ex¬
pressed a very keen desire to see this
new telluride camp.

THE TWELFTH INTERNATIONAL GEOLOGICAL CONGRESS

The Twelfth International Geological Congress, which
is to be held in Canada this year, gives promise of being
a marked success. The governments of twenty-five dif¬
ferent countries have signified their intention of send¬
ing official delegates, and various scientific institutions
in thirty-eight countries will be represented. The
membership already is about 800, consisting of leading
geologists and mining engineers of the whole civilized
world.

The session of the Congress will be held* in Toronto
on August 7 to 14, inclusive, during which papers of
great general geological interest will be read and dis-~

On December 2, 1910, an inaugural meeting was held
in Toronto. It was called at the instance of the general
secretary, R. W. Brock, acting for the government as
the Director of the Geological Survey. At it were
present representatives of the Institutions who had in¬
vited the Congress to be present in Canada and a
small executive committee was appointed with instruc¬
tions to appoint such other committees as might be
required as and when they were required.

Committees dealing with the following subjects
h were appointed: Organization, coal resources, editor¬
ials, excursions, finance, leaders of discussions, official

cussed. The most attractive feature, however, is the
opportunity that will be afforded to visit the leading
mining districts and points of greatest geological in¬
terest in the country. To this end a great number of
excursions have been arranged for.

Arrangements for the Session in Canada.

The Congress visits Canada this year on the invita¬
tion of the Government of Canada, transmitted through
the foreign office and through the British Ambassador
in Sweden. It was supported at the Stockholm session
by Dr. W. G. Miller, for the Province of Ontario, and
Dr. Frank Adams, who represented on this occasion
the Government of Canada.

invitations, patronage, publications, qualifications for
membership, Toronto local, transportation, and a com¬
mittee to appoint an assistant secretary. Some of these
committees have completed their work and have been
dissolved, but most of these are still active and consist
of one or two members of the Executive committee
with in some cases other gentlemen but in each ease
they report direct to the executive committee which
makes itself responsible for the financial arrangements.

Preparations were made for publication of a mono¬
graph on the Coal Resources of the World to consist
of 1200 pages published in three volumes accompanied
by an atlas of 70 maps. The work has been aceom-

Governments, given it a higher standing as a science,
and rendered possible its increased economic application.

The country entertaining the Congress is repaid in
many ways. The excursions are participated in by the
more eminent geologists and mining engineers of the
world, giving them a knowledge of its resources and pos¬
sibilities, which they spread abroad, for they are the
advisers of capital; the writers of text books and authori¬
tative articles; and the instructors in universities and
schools. Their criticisms and suggestions based upon
their experience with similar problems and conditions
in other parts of the world are helpful and stimulating
to the home geologists and mining engineers. After leav¬
ing any country they have learned where to obtain re¬
liable information concerning it and they follow its
developments and discoveries as announced in the press
and technical papers.

Character of Attendance.

Geologists from every quarter of the globe attend the
Congress. The word “International” in the title was
well chosen and the character of the attendance at each
Congress has been remarkable for the number of differ¬
ent nationalities represented. As to the personnel of the
members, they may be broadly classed in three divisions.

1st. Professors and teachers from the leading colleges
and universities as well as the technical mining schools.

2nd. Officers of Government geological surveys or
equivalent organizations.

3rd. Geologists and mining engineers in private prac¬
tice.

History.

The foundation of the Congress was inspired by the
collections of geological maps and sections from various
regions of North and South America, as well as from
many countries of Europe which were shown at the In¬
ternational Exhibition in Philadelphia in 1876. The
advantage of such comparative study so deeply im¬
pressed visiting geologists that at the annual meeting of
the American Association for the Advancement of Sci¬
ence held in Buffalo, August, 1876, a committee was ap¬
pointed to arrange for an international congress of
geologists at the 1878 Paris Exhibition.

It is interesting to note that Dr. T. Sterry Hunt, who
from 1847 to 1872 was chemist and mineralogist to the
Geological Survey of Canada, was Secretary of this first
committee—the Comite Fondateur of 1876, and at the
first session of the Congress, held in Paris in 1878,
Messrs. A. R. C. Selwyn, T. Sterry Hunt and Paul de
Caze were the Canadian delegates, twenty-three coun¬
tries being represented.

ORGANIZATION OF THE CONGRESS

Europe, and they have become deeply impressed with
the great advantages to be gained by their comparative
study It was, moreover, evident that the bringing
together of a still larger number of such collections
in accordance with a previously arranged plan, could
not fail to lead to important results for geological
science. The International exhibition to be held at
Paris in 1878 will furnish such an occasion, and it is
proposed to invite to that end governmental geological
surveys, learned societies and private individuals
throughout the world, to gend to Paris such collections
as will make the geological department of that exhibi¬
tion as complete as possible.

“In order to take advantage of the collections which
may thus be brought together it is moreover proposed
to convoke an International Geological Congress,, to be
held at Paris at some time during the Exhibition of
1878, and to make that Congress an occasion for con¬
sidering many disputed problems in geology.

The following paragraphs are from a circular sent
out to geologists in the year 1876 by D. T. Sterry Hunt
and associates. It presents the aims of the men who
organized the Congress.

“The activity which has prevailed in the study of
geology within the past generation has given to it a
great importance both from a scientific and an economic
point of view, and has resulted in a large accumulation
of facts and materials. Workers in different coun¬
tries have, however, pursued their labours to a great
extent independently of each other, and have given
their results in such ways that it is often difficult to
co-ordinate them. Those geologists from Europe and
America who have been at the International Exhibition
at Philadelphia in 1876, have found there important
collections of geological maps and sections, with rocks
and organic remains from various regions of North and
South America, as wel l as from many countries of

The Late Dr. T. Sterry Hunt
Secretary of the Committee of 1876

“In accordance with this plan it is proposed that the
geological department of the International Exhibition
of 1878 shall embrace:

“I. Collections of crystalline rocks, both crystalline
schists and massive or eruptive rocks, including the so-
called contact formations and the results of the local
alteration of uncrystalline sediments by eruptive
masses. In this connection are to be desired all ex¬
amples of organic remains found in crystalline rocks,
including Eozoon and related forms. These collections
should moreover comprehend all rare and unusual
rocks of special lithological, mineralogieal and chemi¬
cal interest, examples of ore-deposits and of veinstones
of all kinds, with their encasing rocks. As far as pos¬
sible these collections should be limited to specimens of

had to their natural associations rather than to theor¬
etical notions or artificial classifications, so that they
may be studied not only petrographically hut geognos-
tically.

“II. Collections illustrating the fauna and the flora
of the paleozoic and more recent periods, particularly
of such horizons as present a more critical interest to
paleontologists from the first appearance or the dis¬
appearance of important groups of organic forms. It
has appeared to the committee named below that the
organic remains of the Cambrian, Taconic or so-called
Primordial strata merit especial attention in this con¬
nection.

“These various collections should be explained as
fully as possible by labels, catalogues, monographs and
maps.

“III. Collections of geological maps, and also of sec¬
tions and models, especially such as serve to illustrate
the laws of mountain structure. In the geological
maps regard should be had to various questions which
deserve the special consideration of the Congress, such
as the scales best adapted for different purposes, the
colours and symbols to be used, and the proper mode of
representing superficial deposits conjointly with the
underlying formations. A discussion of these will pre¬
pare the way for improved general geological maps of
the continents.

“In pursuance of the above plan the American Asso¬
ciation for the Advancement of Science during its an¬
nual meeting at Buffalo, under the presidence of Prof.
William B. Rogers, unanimously adopted the following
resolution on the 25th of August, 1876:

appointed by the chair to consider the propriety of
holding an International Congress of Geologists at
Paris during the International Exhibition in 1878, for
the purpose of getting together comparative collections,
maps and sections, and for the settling of many obscure
points relating to geological classification and norm n-
elature. And that to this committee be added our
guests, Prof. T. H. Huxley, of England; Dr. Otto Tor-
ell, of Sweden, and Dr. E. II. von Baumhauer, of the
Netherlands, who shall be requested to open negotia¬
tions in Europe looking to a full representation of
European geologists at the proposed Congress. The
said committee to consist of Prof. William B. Rogers,
Messrs. James Hall. J. W. Dawson, J. S. Newberry. T.
Sterry Hunt, C. II. Hitchcock and R. Pumpelly in be¬
half of the Association, with the addition of Prof. T.
H. Huxley, Dr. Otto Torell and Dr. E. H. von Baum¬
hauer.

“On the same day, at a meeting of the Committee,
Prof. James Hall was elected chairman, and Dr. T.
Sterry Hunt, secretary. It was then resolved to pre¬
pare the present circular, to be printed in English,
French and German, and distributed to geologists
throughout the world, asking their co-operation in this
great work of an International Geological Exhibition
and an International Geological Congress to be held at
Paris in 1878; the precise date of the Congress to be
subsequently fixed.

“All those interested in this project are invited to
communicate with any one of the following members
of the Committee: Prof. T. JI. Huxley, London, Eng.;
Dr. Otto Torell, Stockholm, Sweden; Dr. E. II. von
Baumhauer, Harlem, Holland; Dr. T. Sterry Hunt,
Boston, Mass., II. S. A.”

Geologers and geologesses, from 45
fferent countries, and claiming some
20 languages for their own, are pour¬
ing into Toronto for the Twelfth In¬
ternational Geological Congress, which
opens at the University of Toronto to¬
morrow. There are nearly 600 of them,
all told, and they know more about
glaciers and mines and fossils than any
other 600 people in the world. In¬
cluded in their ranks arethe most fam¬
ous and learned geologists in the world.
Some of them are Directors of Geo¬
logical surveys, others are University
professors, all are authorities on some
branch of their subject. Now, for the
first time since the eleventh Congress
at Stockholm, three years ago, they are
meeting to-gether again, to discuss the
discoveries made since that time, and
bring themselves thoroughly up to date.

Cosmopolitan Gathering.

Among the more outstanding figures
are Dr. Emil Tretze, director of the
Geologische Reichsantalt, Professor R.
Zuzer, the world famous expert in
oils, who travels all over the world
examining oil bearing rocks, and de¬
ciding which of them will yield high
grade oil. Dr. Strahan, of London,
Kn., Director of the English geological
survey, and an authority on glaciers,
Proffessor John Horne, of Edinburgh,
whose book on the Scottish High¬
lands is a classic, J. J. Sederholm, of
Helsingfors, Finland, who specializes
on archaic rocks, and who is spending
much time among the ancient Lauren-
tian rocks of Canada. Professor Lac-
eroix, a French servant who went out
to Mt. Pelee after the terrible eruption
in 1901 which wiped out St. Pierre,
and who subsequently explored the
interior of Madagascar, Dr. R. Beck,
mining expert of Freiberg, Germany,
Professor Tcherychew, of St. Peters¬
burg, a former president of the con¬
gress, and a hot of others, equally im¬
portant in their own particular
branches of geology.

To show the cosmopolitan character
of the congress, there are three dele¬
gates from Japan, one from China, one
from Turkey, and several from Bul¬
garia and Roumania-

The Learned Ladies.

Nearly 30 ladies are coming as mem¬
bers of the congress- .Some of
them have reputations as geol¬
ogists that many of the men
might be proud of. Tnere is Mile.
Elisabeth Jeremine, associate professor
of geology in the women's college of I
St. Petersburg, Miss F. Bascom, whoj
occupies a like position at Bryn Mawr;
Mrs. Raisin, of London, Eng., and sev¬
eral more women professors. Espec¬
ially notable is Lady McRobert, who
is the daughter of the Workmans, who
gained a reputation by their discover¬
ies in climbing the Himalayas and the
Andes. Also there is Mrs. Quesnel, a
noted zoologist, who is such a firm be¬
liever in hygienic principles that she
has never been kissed.

To look after the comfort of these
hundreds of delegates, elaborate ar¬
rangements have been made by the
local committee, and by Mr. W. S.
Lecky of Ottawa, secretary. The mem¬
bers register at the West Hall in the
main building of the University, and
enroll for discussion groups and ex¬
cursions. Then they are taken in
charge by red-coated public school
cadets, picked from the schools of the
city, and shown to their quartet's in
the .University residences, which have
been converted to their use. Each
member is given a map of the city with
the points of interest marked in red.

Branch Bank For Them.

A branch of the Royal Bank ha:
been fited up in the West Hall to
facilitate their financial business.
Stenographers speaking French and
German are provided. The ladies are
being looked after by Mine. Hoffman,
of Par-is, who speaks English, French,
and German fluently. A rest room,
T, lounges and writing tables, has
j fitted up. Everything possible

-_jieen done to secure the comfort

and convenience of everybody.

The congress opens officially to¬
morrow, when Sir Charles Fitzpatrick,
representing the Duke of Connaught,
will bid. the members welcome at noon,
in the University Convocation Hall.
At - o’clock in the afternoon, the con¬
gress will get down to business and
start discussing the; monumental re¬
port on the coal supply of the world,
which the Canadian Geological Survey,
with the co-operation of geologists
throughout the world, has been corn-
idling for the past three years. The
report fills three bulky volumes, and
the coal deposits in all countries of
tbe world are dealt with exhaustively.

Their Diet.

After to-morrow the congress will
meet in three sections, one discussing
Glacial Geology, another Palaeont¬
ology ("Fossils”), and a third Pre-
Cambrian, Economy, and Petrology
and Mineralogy. Six other topics be¬
sides coal will be discussed. They in¬
clude: Differentiation hu IgiiebuS

Magmas, the Influence of Depth ou¬
tlie character of Metalliferous De¬
posits, the origin and extent of the
Pre-Cambrian Sedimentaries, the
Subdivisions, Correlation, and Ter¬
minology of the Pre-Cambrian, the;
extent of the interruption of the Ice'
Age.by Inter-Glacial I J eriods, and the
Physical and Faunal Characteristics
of the Palaeozoic Seas, with reference
to the value cf the recurrence of seas
in establishing geological systems..

Preparations to Entertain.

The scene at the University pre¬
sages something of the activity that
will reign within the walls when the
delegates meet on Thursday. The
West Hall is already seething with
life and at the heart of it all is the
main-spring, Mr. W. Stanley Reeky,
the Secretary, whose remarkable ex¬
ecutive ability was much in evidence
yesterday. He knows everything and
where it is. Nearly five hundred dele¬
gates have been allotted to Annesley
Hall, South Hall, the University resi¬
dences, Wycliffe College, Knox Col¬
lege, Queen’s Hall, and Queen's Hall
Annex. As the delegates enter the
West Hall they register their names
and immediately a cadet boy in uni¬
form appears to escort the visitor to
his place of residence. Close by are
offices which will supply the visitor
with any information he desires, a
postoffice, messenger service, tele¬
phones stenographers who can type
in three languages, French, German
and English, and even a bank will
establish a branch there, the Royal
Bank of, Canada, with Mr. Baine in
charge, being open for business.

The East Hall will be the rendez -1
cous of many for a quiet chat and
smoke. Lounges and commodious
chairs are scattered over the hall and
in one corner is a display of maps
and charts which will serve to il¬
lustrate the mining industries and
mineral resources of Canada. The
bureau is in charge of Mr. .1. Mc-
Leich of Ottawa. A comprehensive
display is shown here, the work being
a co-operative one in which the Bu¬
reau of Mines, the Geological Sur¬
vey of Canada, Ontario Bureau of
Mines, British Columbia, Quebec,
Nova Scotia and Alberta take part.

SIX HUNDRED HEE
FOR BIG CONGRESS

International Geological Con¬
vention Opens Today in
Queen’s Park.

“BY MIND AND MALLET”

Object of Gathering Is to En¬
large Human Knowledge
Regarding Mother Earth.

With much shaking of hands and
ultra-scholarly sho-p talk, the 12th In¬
ternational Geological Congress was
informally -opened last night in the
University College building, Queen’s
Park. Over 600 members arrived in
Toronto during the day and were di¬
rected to rooms where they may find
lodging -for the next week. The con¬
gress will be opened officially today
noon, when Sir Charles Fitzpatrick,
chief justice of Canada, welcomes the
delegates and membefs at a reception
in convocation hall.

’tUK(W.>|-iqi3' .. .i

Rarely does the quiet University
College building house such a bustle
as was -prevalent (there yesterday.
Even the “Lit” elections demand the
use of only one language, but more
than 20 are in use at this congress of
geologists from all countries of the
world. Twenty-three languages, to be
exact, and that total does not include
t-he most unintelligible of them all—
the language of geology. French is the
official tongue, and the letter paper of
the congress bears its name in that
language, but the majority of the
business will be transacted thru the
medium of English.

“Mente et malleo,” which means
“by mind and by mallet.” is the motto
of the'congress, which aims thru meet¬
ings, committees, publications, excur¬
sions and,.- prizes to enlarge the field
of human knowledge concerning t-he
earth from both a scientific and com¬
mercial viewpoint. The last congress
was held in Sweden in 1910, and ac¬
complished the preparation of an ex¬
haustive report on the “Iron Ore Re¬
sources of the World,” as well as a
volume of papers on “Changes of Cli¬
mate Since the Maximum of the Last
Period- of Glaciation.” It meets in
Canada this year at the invitation of
the Dominion and Ontario Govern¬
ments, the Canadian Mining Institute,
and the Royal Society of Canada.

Complete Office Staff.

A, complete office staff from the geo¬
logical survey department at Ottawa,
is established in west hall, a larg-e re-
eeption and lecture room. R. W.
Brock, F.R.S.C., who is general secre¬
tary of the congress, is In charge of
arrangements.

As each member or delegate arrives
at the headquarters he is provided
with a badge bearing the name and a
number, as the number of different
nationalities represented will make it
very hard to distinguish the visitors
one from another.

Following the reception at noon to¬
day new officers will be elected to re¬
place the Swedish officers appointed
in 1910. At 3 o’clock the international
committees will report and a po-pular
lecture will be delivered in the even¬
ing in convocation hall, by M. De Mar-
-gerie -of -Paris, on the “Geological Map
of the World.”

World’s Coal Resources.

The -most important business of the
present congress will be the discussion
of a monograph on the coal resources
of the -world, which has been in pre¬
paration for two and a half years by
the executive committee. Information
has been provided by government of¬
ficials and geological and mining en¬
gineers thruout the world. The mono¬
graph, when published, will fill three
volumes and an atlas.

Excursions will -be run daily to
points near Toronto possessing espe¬
cial interest for geologists. Garden
parties and luncheons will be of al¬
most daily occurrence, and on Monday
evening the congress will be received
at the city -hall by Mayor Hocken and
the city council.

The -congress will close on Thursday,
Aug. 14, with a garden party, when
the University of Toronto will act In
-the capacity of host. This -will be pre¬
ceded by a special convocation, at
which honorary degrees will be con¬
ferred.

DELEGATES TO THE

GEOLOGICAL CONGRESS

Toronto will be besieged with men of sci¬
ence from some forty-five countries to-day,
when the International Geological Congress
opens at Convocation Hall. The leading
figures in the geological world will be pre¬
sent and the proceedings will be of su¬
preme importance and deep interest. The
excursions so far have proved of the great¬
est value, and the party which toured ttye
Maritime Provinces and Quebec had an en¬
gaging time at Levis, when a discussion (
took place over the anticline which was ex¬
amined there. So earnest was the discus¬
sion and so interesting thnt the guides had
to drag the visitors away almost by force,
and it was only when a promise was made
that the spot would be visited again that
the delegates would be appeased. This for¬
mation at Levis will no doubt crop up at
the Congress and will be a source of much
discussion.

The following are the members of the
Congress and the countries from which
they come, and, with a few exceptions, they
will all be present:—

QUENSEL

Women Geologists

in Toronto

-a]

A busy place was the main build¬
ing of University of Toronto yes¬
terday and one centre of activity was
the little office adjoining the ladies’
reading room in the east hall, for here
Madame Hottmann, versed in live
languages, was busy making ready for
the fifty ladies, from many different
lands, who are now in the city for
the International Geological Con¬
gress—not all of these are geologists
but those who are not are at least
Vastly interested in the Avork of their
geologist husbands.

Miss Helena Coleman is Chairman

We had read that Dr. Quensel and
Mrs. Quensel of the University of
Upsala, Sweden, who are in attend¬
ance at the International Geological
Congress here, were strict adherents
to the rules of the Continental Anti-
lcissing League, and that they had
never kissed one another nor anyone
else. When we asked for Mrs.
Quensel at the University yesterday
afternoon, and were told, ”YVhy, I
don’t know where she is. but there
is her husband,” we glanced about
u.s, selected from the ’group of busy
men a cadaverous-appearing indivi¬
dual who looked as though his wife
might never kiss him, and said:

"Ah—yes, I see—that gentleman !”

Our feminine intuition would
have told us instantly that he was
the one!

“Oh, no. no." corrected our in¬
formant. "The tall one.”

“Oh!’’

He was tall, indeed, and extremely
good-looking, and we began to disbe¬
lieve. When he began to speak to us,
in delightful English, with just
enough foreign accent to add charm,
our doubts doubled. But when we
had taken his advice, hied us to
Annesley Hall and beheld Mrs. Quen¬
sel, we knew the story was untrue.

“Oh, those absurd stories,” she
laughed; “there isn’t one word of
truth in them, not one.”

"Blow dreadful!” we sympathized.

“Oh, no, not dreadful,” this loveli¬
est lady replied, “only funny.”

“But however did they get such a
story?” we wondered.

“I cannot imagine,’’ with a shake
of the head. “It isn’t as though there
| were one atom of truth in it. I
haven’t even spoken to a reporter be-
i fore, excepting one German in New
York, to whom I said only a few
words because I could not escape him.
But that sort of thing—oh, it is ab¬
surd. Some people say, ‘Why do you
not. deny it?’ But what is the

use ? I say, let them have

their fun; it really doesn’t matter.”

“I am only here on my husband's
account,’’ she explained. "1 just"came

POLLY PEELE.

TWELFTH GEOLOGICAL CONGRESS.

Toronto is honored by the presence of men
from all parts of the. world distinguished in fields
of geological research. The Congress which
opens to-day will he the twelfth that has been
organized with worldwide scope, and will further
enlarge interest in geological research tvhile
helping totvard the systematizing of knowledge
already gained. It is only within recent years
that the accumulation of geologic evidence has
completely and in a large measure unconsciously
changed the thought of the world. Every record
and disclosure is now accepted in the light of
practical speculation. Whether it be the foot¬
print of an extinct bird in the rock, the petrified
remains of an insect, or the preserved vination
of a leaf, the fact is duly accepted that these
lived, moved, or grew, and that the conditions
essential to their life must have existed. The
baffling record of time is freely accepted, as are
evidences of alternating ages of ice and of
warmth.

Each new piece of evidence helps to unlock
Nature’s carefully-guarded secrets. With the
great disclosures of enthusiastic research and the
new expanse of human knoAvledge we still humbly
recognize the fact that only the fringe has been
touched and the chief secrets of the world are
yet to be revealed. In that humbleness our
scientists preserve an open mind, prepared to
accept new evidence at all times, and to relinquish
any conviction or theory that is out of harmony
with later disclosures.

The city fully appreciates the service rendered
'he world by the men who read the record of the
rocks. They have done and are doing much to
enlarge the human mind, to broaden the human
outlook, to increase human knowledge, and to
discover means of supplying important human

needs. Their services in the cause of human
culture and in the supplying of material re¬
quisites are fittingly acknowledged by the city on
the occasion of this Congress and by the world
at large in an appreciative regard.

Remarkable Scenes at Com

flon. Mr. Hearst and Presi-
r dent Falconer Bespeak
Ontario’s Greeting

Toronto, the Mecca of the geolo¬
gists of the world in this year of
grace, is besieged by as distinguished
and erudite a body of men as ever
gathered within its limits. The scene
at the University last night, when a
large number of the returning excur¬
sionists from the various geological
tours gathered together to register,
was unprecedented in the history of
the institution. They are a remark¬
able body of men, whose presence will
do much for Canada, and to whom no
welcome can be too cordial. Hon.
W. H. Hearst, Minister of Lands,
Forests and Mines of the Province of
Ontario, who extended welcome, struck
a good note when he declared: “As far
as I can give it to you, you have the
freedom of the Province.” And he
added, amid a burst of laughter, “if
1 had the. vaults of the Treasury I
would open them for you.” “I am
sure,” said the Minister, "that if you
enjoy yourselves as much as we wish
you to do, you will enjoy yourselves
to the full." President Falconer ex¬
pressed his delight at being able to
welcome such a body of men to the
University of Toronto. “We believe,”
said the President, “that you will
confer not only a great honor upon us,
hut an inspiration that will extend
far beyond this country.”

A Cosmopolitan Company.

Professor Coleman, the Chairman
of the local committee, in a delight¬
ful little speech, asked the delegates
to consider themselves at-home, which
they immediately did, restraint being
thrown to the wind. The scene in
the East Hall where they had gath¬
ered became animated and interest¬
ing. Here were to be seen a German.
Frenchman, Belgian and Englishman
discussing with evident enjoyment
their visit to Quebec. It seemed as
if every group was speaking a differ¬
ent language. They attacked the bu¬
reau in the corner, where books, maps,
charts and brochures pertaining to
the mineral resources of Canada were
laid out. with zest. The studious na-

ttire of the gathering was evidenced
by the behavior of a few wjio, when
they had obtained something in which
they were interested, sat down and
seemed utterly obliterated so far as
the room was concerned. If a can¬
non had gone off it would not have
moved these men. Others with their
arms loaded with books set off to
their residences early to get to the
bottom of their treasures as quickly
as possible. Dr. Tadasu Hilu, Profes¬
sor of Geology, Mineralogy- and Ore
Deposits in the Imperial University of

Kyoto, Japan, was delighted with mind is not much impressed with

verything. He was almost excited
over the display and the gathering.
The old idea that men of science, and
geologists in particular, become fos¬
silized was absolutely exploded last
night. One could almost imagine it

seeing large volumes lying upon a
table accompanied by an atlas, but
when mention is m^,da of the fact that
ten tons of type has been used in pro¬
ducing the work, even the novitiate
is interested. Orders have been re¬
ceived from the four ends of the world

for the production. The editors, Wm.
Melnnes, B.A., F.R.S.C.; D. B. Dowl¬
ing, B.A.Sc., F.R.S.C., and W. W.
Leach, B.A.Sc., of the Geological Sur¬
vey of Canada, are to be congratulated
upon their wonderful product. The
work is in three languages—English,
French and German.

Another volume which was much
admired was the gift of the city of
Toronto to the delegates of the Con¬
gress, which takes the shape of a
series of views and a description of
Toronto. The cover is a work of art,
being done in gold, green, blue and
red. The inscription reads: “Toronto
of t;o-day. To commemorate the
Twelfth International Geological Con¬
gress, 1913, Toronto, Canada.” Photos
of the Governor-General and the
Mayor and Controllers of Toronto are
shown on the first two pages. The
views are exceptionally fine and very
comprehensive.

Six Days of Solid Work is Now
Before the Visiting
Scientists

The International Geological Con¬
gress has already had Us official
opening, first addresses and prelimin¬
ary discussions, and from the open¬
ing session to-day the distinguished
scientists have before them six days
of solid work. The creat monograph
on the Coal Resources of the World,
which was summarized yesterday af¬
ternoon by Mr. R. W. Brock, General
Secretary of the Congress, has only
offered to the assembly the material
on which further addresses and dis¬
cussions will be founded. This im¬
portant subject, the value of which is
patent to nations and householders
alike, will probably occupy the great¬
er portion of the time of the Con-
gress.

terviewing of any kind and I was just
a little timid—in fact so timid that
I walked right by Annesley Hall,
where I was told the ladies of the
convention were staying, casting
furtive glances “doorward.” However,
by the time I had reached Queen’s
Hall I had summoned all my
courage together and walked boldly
up to the door. On the verandah I
saw a lady Intent on perusing a
Baedeker and I immediately side
stepped and put forth my question,
“Are you a geologist?” She smiled
sweetly and shook her head. “No, I
am just the wife of a geologist.” I
knew right away that I was gomg
to like this lady so I calmly pulled
up a rocking-chair and sat down.
After explaining the nature of my
little visit and assuring Mrs. Charle-
ton, for I found later that I had been
talking to the wife of that eminent
geologist Mr. Charleton, of London,
England, that I only wanted ner
impressions of Canada and not the
opinions of the geologists at large—
we had a very interesting conversa¬
tion “I think,” said Mrs. Charleton,
“the thing that impressed me most
was the colossal greatness of Can¬

shoulders and disappear with it up¬
stairs. There were about ninety men
living in this building—men from
nearly every country on the globe. I
spoke to several of them—or rather
they came and spoke to me—and I
found them most interesting. But I
•remembered that my interests lay
chiefly with the women and that I
had come purposely to see them—so
I tore myself away and with re¬
luctant feet I crossed over to the
main building of the university. The
campus was thronged with men and
women going over to a meeting at
Convocation Hall.

At last I reached my long sought
for goal—the women’s headquarters.
Here I was treated very cordially
by the most delightful little lady
with large dark eyes and curly brown
hair—this was none other than the
charming Madame Hoffman—who is
taking such an active part in the
great convention—Madame Hoffman,
who is the “interpretress," speaks
seven languages, French, German,
Spanish, Swedish, Danish and Nor¬
wegian. She is a Parisian by birth
and was married at the early age
of eighteen to Professor Bolette Hoff¬
man, a German. They have one child,
a daughter of seventeen, and have
been living in Toronto for the last
six years. A great many of the ladies
at the convention were friends of
Madame Hoffman when she studied
at the universities of Geneva and
France, so is it any wonder that she
is one of the busiest women at the
convention? Other noted women
were: Fraulein Bathgen, a geologist
from Germany; Miss Bascam, Frau¬
lein Grutterink, of Rotterdam, Hol¬
land, a doctor of philosophy and a
zoologist; Mrs. Quensel, a professor
of zoology at Upsala University;

Scientists From Many Lands
Raise Hats When Greeting
Each Other

ALL KNOW HOW TO

BOW GRACEFULLY

Courteous Manners of the Old
World Are Much in Evi¬
dence and Seem Novel

What is, perhaps, the most notice¬
able characteristic of the European
and South American geologists who
are attending the twelfth annual
congress of the international geologi¬
cal society at the university, when
seen in comparison with Canadians
and indeed all Anglo-Saxons, a com¬
parison which is hardly favorable to
the latter, is their charming and
polished politeness. Their manners
are a revelation to the Canadian. To
them raising the' hat is not merely
a ceremony -to be indulged in upon
the meeting of ladies, but a common
form of ordinary politeness.

Graceful Bowing.

Two friends or acquaintances meet
on the Varsity campus or in the
Quadrangle at tea and each, with a
grace and manner that is nothing
less than astonishing to the phleg¬
matic Anglo-Saxon, lifts his hat and
bows to the other with the utmost
punctiliousness. To us, such exhibi¬
tions seem superficial, to them only
the ordinary observation of polite¬
ness. The manner alone with which
they raise their hats is indeed im¬
pressing to one unused to such a
spectacle and, to the thoughtful who
realize the truth in the old adage
w’hich is the motto of a big English
public school, “Manners maketh the
man,” not without significance.

Polish and Culture.

Happening, as it does, on the heels
of an appeal from no less a person
than Lord Rosebery for a higher
standard of politeness and a depreca¬
tion of the usual manners of a
material age, this display of polished
and cultured good breeding cannot
but have a good effect on all those
who have come in contact with the
learned scientists.

Even several years in this country
have failed to affect the manners of
M. de Champ, of the University of
Toronto, who could be seen yester¬
day on the steps of Convocation Hall
greeting and acknowledging the salu¬
tations of old friends and acquaint¬
ances by raising his hat and bowing

to then with all the grace and em
pressment for which his country j s
famous. M. de Champ found many old
friends among the delegates to the
congress from European seats of
learning.

Fine Collection of Men.

The geologists are a splendid col¬
lection of men, and their _ oliteness
does not consist solely of -what to
the Anglo-Saxon seems to be its
superficial forms. The discussions and
debates are carried on in the most
courteous language and terms im¬
aginable, no matter how opinions may
differ or feeling run strong. Bronzed
and clear-eyed the scientific visitors
are representative of the best of
their nationalities, courteous, cul¬
tured and healthy men, charming and
pleasant to meet.

Like the Doukobours.

A curious fact about the members
of the congress is the widespread re¬
gard and admiration which they have
for the Doukobours, a communion
inclined to be held rather lightly in
Canada. To The News many of the
geologists were warm in their praise
of this strange sect and expressed
their intention of paying them a
visit.

‘I like them,” said one member,
a veteran geologist from Manchester,
Mr. John Ashworth, “And X am go¬
ing to make every effort to see ‘hem
again. They are splendid people and
such hard workers.”

COLOR OF RIBBON

TELLS LANGUAGE

Hotv Delegates to the Congress
Know What Tongue to Use
in Greeting

Much to the mystification of
the lay visitor to the Geologists’
Congress, each delegate wears, at¬
tached to the emblem of the
Geological Society on the lapel of
ms coat, two or three ribbons of
Vivid colors. These, according
to a representative of the Swedish
Government, are worn for the
purpose of informing other
delegates the language, or lan¬
guages, the wearer speaks, and
not to satisfy any futurist taste
for color members may possess.

A red ribbon conveys the intelli¬
gence that the wearer speaks
English; yellow, German; and
blue, French.

Hence, if a man is seen with
all three ribbons fluttering at his
buttonhole It means that not only
is he a scientist of distinction
but a linguist of no mean capabil¬
ity as well. . By the ribbons you
may know just what tongue in

may meet.

Too Much for Canada to Expect
Says Eminent Russian
Geologist

WAS HERE BEFORE

Trip From St- Petersburg to
Quebec Only Took Nine
Days This Time

The greatest Russian geologist at
the Congress is M. Theodosius Tsch-
ernyschef, of the Imperial' Academy of
Sciences, St. Petersburg, and Director
of the Geological Survey, and withal
he is genial and polite by all the tra¬
ditions of that nation. He is a happy-
looking man with snow-white Im¬
perial and flowing hair.

In the University Quadrangle, The.
News found him conversing with a
g'roup of friends, and at a favorable
moment approached him on the subject
of Russian immigration to Canada and
less weighty matters.

Speaking in French. M. Tscherny-
sehef (pronounced Chernishef), declar¬
ed that this is not his first visit to
Ccin<ELcl3

“ 1 was here about twenty-five years
ago,” he said, “ when I went as far
West as Lake Superior, visiting the
American States as well. This summer
I am going as far as Vancouver with
the geological excursions after the
Congress.”

Not tlse Greatest.

The Russian geologist liked Canada,
but when The News asked him half-
seriously whether he thought Canada
wotild ever be the first coal-producing
country in the world, this was more
than the distinguished visitor expect¬
ed.

“Oh, no! That is too much,” he re¬
plied ; “ that is what you are always
wanting to know. Quite Important,
yes, but surely not the greatest,” and
breaking into English, he laughed.

“ The greatest country on earth,
eh ? ”

The visitor liked Quebec, especially
its solidity, and said that Canadian
cities must not be “ Americanized.” He
had come to Quebec from St. Peters¬
burg in nine days, which was splen¬
did, and “with a night in London as
well,” he added.

More Russians Coining.

On the subject of immigration, M-
Tschernyschef believed that Canada
would receive more and more Rus¬
sians, “ but,” he added, " you have the
best now, the Doukhobors.”

“And you think they are the best?”
he was asked.

"Certainly. They are good fellows’
and good workers.”

“But will they make good citizens?”!

Congress Opens With One Thou¬
sand Delegates in Attend¬
ance

WERE WELCOMED BY
THE CHIEF JUSTICE

Men of Science Ready for Week
of Hard Work in Convo¬
cation Hall

At noon to-day Sir Charles Fitz¬
patrick, Administrator and Chief
Justice of Canada, formally opened
the Twelfth International Geological
Congress in the Convocation Hall of
the University of Toronto, before a
gathering of a thousand distinguished
scientists from ail over the world.

His Excellency delivered his ad¬
dress in French, with an English
preface, saying that it was fitting the
inaugural ■ -nch should be delivered
in the official language of the socie¬
ty. “It was also the language,” said
Sii Charles, ‘spoken by the hardy
pioneers, the priests, warriors and
traders who first sailed up the St.
Lawrence, discovered the Mississippi
and laid broad and deep the founda¬
tions of this great nation. It has
made it possible that our citizens
should bless the name of our soverign
in the language spoken by Cartier.”

The absence of H. R. II., the Duke
of Connaught and the Prime Minister
was regretted by both,” said the Ad¬
ministrator. Sir Charles stated that
he had received this morning a cable
from the Governor-General welcom¬
ing the Congress to Canada and ex¬
pressing his regret.

Sir Charles welcomed the Congress
and spoke of its coming as a fresh
encouragement to science in Canada.
He paid a tribute to the work of
the former congresses at Washington
and Mexico, and to the co-operation
of the Crown Prince of Sweden. In
Canada were ail the strata of all the
ages, and it is fitting that Canada
should welcome such a distinguished
gathering.

The Tic That Binds.

Hon. Mr. Hearst, Minister of Lands,
Forest and Mines, welcomed the Con¬
gress on behalf of ttje Ontario Gov¬
ernment. He remarked that it was an
honor to have such a gathering of
men from all nations but that th ; s
honor was doubly enhanced by rhe
fact that the visitors occupy a lead¬
ing place in the field of science in
not only their own country but in
the wide world.

“There is nothing,” he 'declared,
“that makes for peace as much as
such conventions and congresses,
where we of different nationalities
and creeds meet in common fellow¬
ship and friendship. It is the forma¬
tion of a tie that binds.”

In concluding Mr. Hearst pointed
out that Ontario had much to iffer
to f?6olOoists, having, as it did, u60,~
000 miles of Country belonging to the
Crown thousands and thousands of
acres of mineral lands untouched by
the geologists.

Civic Welcome.

The civic welcome was extended
by Controller Church, who in the
name of the Mayor and the Corpora¬
tion of the city, presented the visit¬
ing scientists with the freedom of the
city. "Toronto,” he stated, "is called j
the convention city and indeed its!
name derived from the Indian]
tongue means the “Place of Meeting.” ]
On behalf of the-city I offer you a
right royal welcome and I hope that |
your stay amongst us will be of the!

most pleasant description. It is with
unbounded pleasure that I offer you
the freedom of the city.”

President Falconer of the Univer¬
sity of Toronto, called upon by Sir
Charles Fitzpatrick, aptly remarked
that having heard the welcome and
tribute given science from without it
was his pleasure to be able to offer
thm tribut from within, as it were.
“Your science has ancient prestige,”
he said. “Geologists engage in a
ceaseless pursuit of the truth.”

He went on to point out that the
meeting of the Congress in Toronto
I should not only be profitable to the
members of the society but to the
jeommuity in which the great Con¬
gress is being held. “And so we profit
together from this scientific gather¬
ing,” he said. “I welcome you also as
men of science pure and simple, in
addition to science applied.”

24 Countries Represented.

Reports will be read during the
Congress from fifty-eight different
lands and countries in the world, from
the bleak coasts of ice-bound of the
northern countries to the tropical
countries in the south.

This fact illustrates the sources
from which the delegates to the great
gathering of scientists which is being
held in Toronto have been drawn.
Universities from every civilized and
uncivilized portion of the globe are
represented. More than twenty-four
countries have official representatives
attending the congress. And they
come from Indo-China, from Iceland,
from Europe, Asia, Australia, Amer¬
ica, South America and Africa. But
as Frenc his the official language of
the society, the greater part of the
discussion is carried on in that ton¬
gue.

The members of the congress have
been pouring into Toronto from all
corners of the world ever since Mon¬
day. The University has been thrown
'open to them, and they are quartered
in the various colleges.

It is said that if the total distance
traveled by all o” the visiting scient¬
ists could be added up it would he
greater in extent than three times the
?ireumference of the globe.

luncheon in the Speakers’ dining¬
room of the Parliament Buildings at
one o’clock to-day, when the guests

ALL THE WORLD IS HERE NOW

AT GEOLOGISTS’ CONFERENCE.

Gathering Last Night Had Representa¬
tives From Forty-five Countries—
’Twas Like Tower of Babel.

The walls of ’Varsity which have
echoed the words of languages dead
and living for more than half a cen¬
tury, gave back echoes that were
strange even to them last night. Every
continent was represented among the
delegates from the forty-five countries
represented at the International Geolo¬
gical Congress, and it seemed as
though every group was speaking a
different language. Even in , the
ladies’ reading rooom, where the fifty
ladies attending the Congress were
registering, Madame Hoffman, who
was in charge, had to make use of
five languages.

The old idea that men of science
must become fossilized if they would
succeed in their pursuit of knowledge,
received many a jolt, for the gathering
in the East Hall looked more like a
picnic than a gathering of sober-mind¬
ed students drawn from every part of
the globe in a desire to learn or see
some new thing.

WELCOME TO CANADA,
j Words of welcome to the visiting
geologists were spoken by Hon. W. H.
Hearst, Provincial Minister of Mines;
Dr. Falconer, of the University, and
Dr. A. P. Ooleman, chairman of the
local committee.

“We believe," said Dr. Falconer,
“that you will confer not only a great
honor upon us, but an inspiration that
will extend far beyond this country.”

Since arriving in Canada, the dele¬
gates have divided into parties to visit
points of geological interest In this

Minister of Lands, Forests and Mines
of the Province of Ontario, Who Wel¬
comed the Geologists Last Night.

country. One party visited the coal
and iron deposits at Sydney, while an¬
other under Prof. W. G. Miller visit¬
ed the nickel, gold and silver deposits
in New Ontario. Though conditions
resembled those at the building of the
Tower of Babel, interpreters were
found who could speak four languages,
one of which at least was known to
the polyglot tongued scientists, and the
richness of this new land was ex¬
plained to them in this roundabout
way.

WHERE THEY CAME FROM.

About 650 delegates have already
registered and been taken to their
quarters by the red-coated public
school cadets. Canada has 217 repre¬
sentatives at once eager to learn from
the leaders in geology from other
lands and to tell of the treasures to
be found hidden in .the North Ameri¬
can Continent. With these may be
joined the 203 from the United States
and the 74 from Britain and joined in
their common Anglo-Saxon speech.

Nearly every country in Europe is
represented among the 288 geologists
who came from that continent. Greek
Bulgarian, Roumanian and Turk, fa:
from recent battle-fields rub should¬
ers in the more peaceable and profit¬
able pursuit of learning. Germany,
the home of research, has 96 of her
leading geologists at the congress, and
France scarcely less renowned for
scientific discovery, has 48. _ From
Northern Europe com-e 57 scientists
representing Denmark,' Norway, Fin¬
land and Sweden; and the influence
of Britain as a colonizing nation is
shown by the presence of representa¬
tives from the regenerated Soudan.
United South Africa, India, Indo-China.
Egypt and British West Africa.

Dr. Tadasu Hike, professor of geol¬
ogy at Kyoto University, heads the de¬
putation from Japan, and Kwong Yung
Kwang, with two companions, is on
hand to tell of the geological and min¬
eral wealth of China.

In spite of revolutions and rebellions
11 geologists have escaped from Mex¬
ico to attend the congress, and South
America has sent men from the Ar¬
gentine, Chi’i, Colombia, Guatemala,
Peru and Venezuela. From the Anti¬
podes Australia has six representa¬
tives, and Now Zealand three.

THE FABLED ATLANTIS.

According to J. W. Spencer, of the
United States delegation, the exist¬
ence of Atlantis, which loomed large
in Greek and Roman mythology, is
still 3hroudcd in gloom. There is a
large submerged ledge in the Atlantic
which may have been the abode of the
blessed, hut geologists are not prepar¬
ed ro speak definitely on the question.
They have no hesitation, however, in
declaring that Lamuria really existed,
but has been submerged in the Indian
ocean.

The orthodox can take what comfort
they, will from the scientific statement
that while there wrns a flood it was
purely local, and Noah and his com¬
panions in the ark cannot hav« been
the only survivors.

THE LADY GEOLOGISTS.

Miss Anna Rathgen from Germany
is a geologist herself and a pupil of
Profossor Steiuman; then there is
Lady McRobert, daughtei of Dr and
Mrs. Workman, Madame Lacroix of
Paris, narticularly engrossed in her
husoand’s lifework, Mrs. Fermor from
India, Miss F. Pa scon, professor of
geology at Bryn Mawm, and Miss Hatch
and Miss Marina Ewald, also of Bryn
Mawr.

Miss Helena Coleman is chairman
''Of the local committee of ladies, among !
w T hom are Mrs. McEvoy, Mrs. J. B. Tyr¬
rell, Mrs. Parks and Mrs. Frank Adams.
This committee has sent out invita¬
tions to a luncheon for the ladies con¬
nected wdth the congress, in the Speak¬
er’s rooms at the Parliament buildings
on Friday at half-past one. Tea will
r.iso be served in the university quad¬
rangle this afternoon, Saturday, Mon¬
day and Wednesday. On Saturday also
Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Dunlap are giving
a garden party in honor of the visi¬
tors.

VISITED GUELPH.

Eighteen delegates to the congress
visited Guelph yesterday. The party
are studying what is designated in
their programme as “the palaeontol¬
ogy” of the Onondaga, Guelph and
Hamilton formations. The leader of
the excursion was Dr. W r . A. Parks,
of the .University of Toronto. During
the morning they visited Kennedy’s
quarry and the prison farm, did some
collecting of fossils and studied the
Niagara-Guelph transition, after which
they motored back to the city via the
Ontario Agricultural College. ’ At noon
they were lunched by the city at the
Wellington Hotel and welcomed bvthe
Mayor on behalf of the city. Dr. Parks
replying cordially. The visitors left
in motor cars in the afternoon for Hes-
peler and Galt.

WOMEN AT THE GEOLOGICAL CONGRESS

It seemed almost uncanny on an
August niglit to see old grey Univer¬
sity College ablaze with light, But
lest evening forth from every ivy-clad
window of Varsity there were golden
gleams as beacons for the strangers
in our midst. For there the ends of
the world had met. Inside its his¬
toric walls an informal reception was
being held for the hundreds of dis¬
tinguished scientists who had just
come from forty-five countries for the
International Geological Congress in
Toronto.

Geologists! Perhaps it was because
the first one we ever knew was such
a moth-eaten remnant of humanity

old world scholars. And such a var¬
iety of tongues were there that com¬
parisons to the Tower of Babel were
inevitable. Then too in the midst of
these most primitive men, the men of
the strong arm, were found the newest
of the new women, the women of
brain. No less than 50 feminine
names are included among Toronto’s
present visitors and among them are
women who have done notable work
as practical geologists!

In the case of most of the married
women members of the Congress
theirs is but an honorary membership
out of compliment to work done by
their husbands. Lady McRoberts, a
daughter of the famous Workmans by
the way, however, is an exception as
she distinguished herself by her work
before her marriage at the Royal Col¬
lege of Science, London, and else¬
where. Madame Lacroix, of Paris,
France, has also assisted her husband
in his work.

Other married women members in
some cases have gone in for other
sciences other than geology. ' Mrs.
Charlton is a famous botanist, and
Mrs. Quesnel, of Upsala, Sweden, is a
distinguished zoologist.

When last night we were introduced
to the young and charming pink
cheeked Mrs. Quesnel we stammered
out, "Why were you not the lady a
Monday paper said was such a stren¬
uous upholder of the anti-kissing cru¬
sade?”

‘‘Oh, these fearful American pa¬
pers,” laughed Mrs. Quesnel, “what
Imaginations they have got! There is
absolutely nothing in that story. My
husband and myself have been most
amused at it. We are doing nothing
these days but telling people it was
just a foolish story.”

Mrs. Quesnel and her husband have
been enjoying some of the geological
expeditions in the Maritime Provinces,
and she declares that Canada is much
like her native Sweden.

Mrs. Quensel, tne noted zoologist,
who denies story that she does not
believe in kissing, and knows nothing
about an antl-kissing crusade.

that that -word did not arouse much
enthusiasm. For truth to tell, the
men we pictured to be gathered there
were anything but inspiring. But it
did not take many minutes last night
to find how' mistaken we had been.
Instead of the pedantic old fossils we
had imagined, there on every side
were splendid six-foot specimens of
manhood, who looked fit for any work.
Men who had seen and done things.
Men who had penetrated the wilder¬
nesses of a whole world’s continents.
Men who had browsed over books
but long enough to be able to go forth
and conquer old Mother Nature her¬
self.

Geologists -unromantic! Why if
there is any romance left in this prac¬
tical century of ours you can find it
among those seekers of the world’s
gold and sterner minerals. Hear them
tell of their explorations in unknown
mountains and valleys and they ap¬
pear before you veritable Captain
Kidds of the Twentieth century!

Bright little Doctor Alide Grutterink,
of Rotterdam, “Privaat docente in
, Mikrochemie” at the University of
I Leyden, was another interesting mem-
I ber of the Congress we saw last night.
; Microchemistry, which is her spe-
| cialty, is a comparatively new work.
| The doctor studies the minerals as
she is interested in crystals to be used
in chemical work and toxology.

Most interesting was her talk of the
recent “Woman’s Exhibition” in Hol¬
land. There a complete review of
what Dutch women have done in the
last one hundred years has been plac¬
ed before the public in a whole exhi¬
bition of their own. When one thinks
of our Woman’s Building, with its wo¬
man’s work displayed in the form of
baking, preserves, sewing and fancy
work, it almost makes Toronto seem
back in the sixteenth century.

Asked about woman suffrage in Hol¬
land, Dr. Grutterink declared it was
but a matter of a very few years. “The
Clericals have lost at the recent elec¬
tions and the Liberals promise it to
us,” said she, “though we will not fol¬
low the militant example of the Eng¬
lish women to get it."

Last evening was a night of con¬
trasts. While the men of action were
there you could also see the typical

Still another interesting feminine
figure is Fraulein A. Rathgen, a stu¬
dent of Bonn University, who bears
the distinction of being the only Ger¬
man woman representative at the Con¬
gress. Fraulein Rathgen, though the
only woman student in geology at her
university, is a dauntless little lady.
She has done work in the mountains
of France, Germany, Switzerland,

Austria, Greece,-has explored Egypt, is
now on her way to the Rockies, from
thence to the United States peaks and
Central America.

In the face of all this she actually
pleaded not to be mentioned. “I am
nothing; I have done nothing,” quoth
she. Truly there was modesty indeed.
It is evident Germany does not be¬
lieve in puffing up its scholars.

We had but a few moments with
Miss Florence Bascom, geological
professor at Bryn Mawr. We had
been told that Miss Bascom had done
some notable work, particularly with
the microscope. Recently she has
been on a U. S. Government geological
survey in Pennsylvania. Her pupil,
Miss Ida H. Ogilvie, assistant profes¬
sor of geology at Barnard College,
New York, is also attending the Con¬
gress, as is also Miss Marina Ewald
from Bryn Mawr. The famous Mount
Holyoke College, Massachusetts, has
also sent its geological professor in
five-foot Miss Talbot.

The famous Bedford College of Eng¬
land is represented by clever Miss C.
A. Raisin, who tells of the interest
shown by Queen Mary at her geologi¬
cal class when her Majesty paid
her recent visit to that institu¬
tion. From far-off India, with her
husband, has come Mrs. Fernow and
Miss Elizabeth Jeremine, geological
professor at the Woman’s College at
St. Petersburg, is among the delegates
yet to arrive. ,

Many of the women delegates are
quartered at Annesley Hall with
gracious Miss Addison as hostess,
while Miss Helena Coleman is head of
the ladies’ committee. The local com¬
mittee of ladies, among whom are Mrs.
McEvoy. Mrs. J. B. Tyrrell, Mrs. Parks
and Mrs. Frank Adams. This committee

past one,- Tea will also be served in the
university quadrangle this afternoon,
Saturday, Monday and Wednesday. On
Saturday also Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Dun¬
lap are giving a garden party in honor
of the visitors.

But a small host in herself is
Madame Hoffmann, the piquant little
Parisienne, to whom seven languages
is as nothing. The lady is installed in
the east hall of the University and wel¬
comes the feminine visitors in their
own tongue as they register.

CORNELIA.

Among the Geologists

Prof. G. F. Kay, Professor of Geol¬
ogy, University of Iowa and State Ge¬
ologist, who is a graduate of Toronto
University, outlined some of the work
before the congress to The Telegram.
Four of the divisions which will be
taken up are glacial, economic, strati¬
graphic and paleontogical geology.
The first has reference to the surface
formations of the earth, the second to
the ore deposits, the third to the for¬
mation of rocks, and the fourth to
fossils. The various hill formations,
north of Toronto, and as a matter of
fact, the entire formation of the coun¬
try, will be taken up by the men more
especially interested in the glacial
geology.

COAL ANT) OTT,.

Mr. Charles M. Gould, State Geolo¬
gist, Oklahoma, makes a specialty of
coal and oil deposits in his state.

“What do you think?” he was asked,
“of the possibilities of finding such de¬
posits in Ontario’”

“Well,” he said, “it is known that
between Detroit and Buffalo on the
north side of Lake Erie, there have
been deposits of oil and gas.”

“Do you think that in Ontario we
have touched all our resources?”

“Oh,’ he said, holding up his right
hand as if to deprecate such a ques¬
tion, “you have been merely scratching
the surface. It is not the business of
the geologist to prophesy, but I dare
say that within a hundred years your
mineral resources will be quadrupled.
But you have certainly a country rich
in national resources. Your metallifer¬
ous resources are no doubt abundant.”

Reverting to his home state, Okla¬
homa, Mr. Gould stated that the geolo¬
gists had estimated the supply of coal
there to be somewhere betw r een 50 and
75 billion tons-

A FRENCHMAN IN ONTARIO.

“What do you think of the topagra-
phical formation of Ontario?” was ask¬
ed of Professor Cambrien of Paris.

“It offers abundant opportunity for
geological study,” he said. “To trace
the history of some of these formations
would be most interesting.”

“Should the Government, in your
opinion, encourage the study of geolo¬
gical science in Ontario?”

PROGRESS IN TORONTO.

“From what I have seen I think the
science has not been neglected here.
There is one thing that strikes me
about the American and Canadian busi¬
ness men, that is their realization of
the value of geology. Instead of squan¬
dering thousands of dollars in guessing
as to the whereabouts of mineral de¬
posits and such things, they see the
wisdom of having the work done scienti¬
fically.”

This made an American delegate
prick up his ears.

“Our Government could have saved
$100,000 when they started work on
the Panama,” he said, “had they sent
a geologist down there for six months
or a year at a cost of less than $5,000,
to obtain necessary information be¬
fore they started cutting.”

THE MATTER OF PAY-

“Are geologists well paid?” was the
blunt question put to a delegate.

“In colleges,” he replied, “geologists
would probably get from $2,000 to $2,;
500 per year. Whereas if they get out
into the field with a mining company
they might make $3,000 to $4,000. The
average is somewhere between $2,000
and $4,000.”

With that the American lighted a
25-cent cigar and sauntered off to talk
to a German colleague, smoking a
cheroot, which from the perfume, was
no doubt a product of the paleolithic
age. vttHHHH

ENGLISH LANGUAGE SHELVED

IN GEOLOGISTS’ WELCOME

Sir Charles Fitzpatrick Chose
French Out of Twenty-five
Tongues in Which to Talk.

W. H. HEARST TALKS ENGLISH

But French Is Lauded by Rt. Hon.
Sir Charles Fitzpatrick as the
Language of the “Pioneers
Who Laid the Founda¬
tions of This Great
Country.”

Convocation Hall presented a scene
of brightness and animation at noon
to-day, when the great Geological
Congress was officially opened.

“When first asked to come to wel¬
come you to Canada,” said Rt. Hon.
Sir Charles Fitzpatrick, “I was temp¬
ted to address my welcome to you in
the English language, but on learning
that there are no fewer than twenty-
five languages spoken at this con¬
gress, I decided to speak the words of
welcome in the official language—
French—the language spoken by the
pioneers who laid the foundations of
this great country. It is a great tri¬
bute to the wisdom and liberality of
the British Constitution that it is
made possible to bless the name of
our Sovereign in the language spoken
by Champlain and Cartier.”

Sir Charles then proceeded to read
his address of welcome in French.
He conveyed the regrets of H.R.H. the
Duke of Connaught that the Governor-
General was unable to welcome the
Congress in person. Premier Borden
also sent hjs regrets.

ONTARIO’S "WELCOME-

On behalf of the people of Ontario,
Hon. W. H. Hearst, Minister of Mines
and Lands, extended a warm welcome
to the visitors.

“ We hear much about peace cele¬
brations in the world,” he said, “ but
to my mind nothing makes so much
for the peace and advancement of
mankind as does a meeting of this
kind.”

He welcomed these scientists, who
represented so many countries, and
hoped they would appreciate, as he
felt they would, the 400,000 square
miles of Ontario, so rich in mineral
wealth.

“ Millions of those acres have never
been mapped by geologists, millions
never visited by geologists.

“ The province is yours."

TORONTO'S LAND.

Acting Mayor Church received an
ovation of hand clapping when he came
forward to welcome the delegates on
behalf of the City of Toronto,

"It is an honor to have so many men
of great learning in our midst,” said
the Controller.

He turned the keys of the city over
to the Congress.

IN PURPLE AND SCARLET.

Wearing his purple gown and scarlet
hood, President Falconer, of Toronto
University, extended a welcome to Con¬
gress on behalf of the university.

“Your science is indeed of ancient
prestige.” he said. "Thousands of
years ago a Hebrew prophet, whose
words are recorded in the Bible, spoke
of mines for silver, a place to refine it,
of stone and of brass.

In coming to Toronto University .they
came to the “hearth and home” of
learning, where science is nurtured.

“In your movements,” went on Pres¬
ident Falconer, with a smile, “while
you are here, not only will you teach
.Canadian geologists something, but I
■think our own geologists will teach
you something.” (Applause.)

The result of this great congress
would, he felt sure, bind still tighter
the bonds which held the Empire of
learning together. Science to-day was
a benevolent factor, on its streams and
rills it bore down deposits providing a
finer soil upon which men might prac¬
tise the peaceful arts and crafts.

NEWLY-ELECTED BUREAU.

MAPS, JAPS AND GEOLOGY

RED’S ENGLISH, BLUE FRENCH.

And Yellow Shows You Speak German
—There Are Many Wonders at the
Geologists’ Conclave.

No matter how far governments
and armies and navies in the abstract
would put the nations asunder, science
in its irresistible, burning search for
the truth will weld the people to¬
gether. The scientists are too busy
to hold back because of the silver
stanuard or the stock markets or the
tariff. When America’s geologists
want to know just why Niagara flows
down, and Canada's stone dissectors
wanted to know what was under Nia¬
gara and how it got there, they just
put their heads together like sensible
human beings and have produced a
remarkably scientific map which they
call a “Topographic Map of the Nia¬
gara Gorge,” surveyed in co-operation
by Dr. George Otis Smith, director of j
the United States Geological Survey, j
and Dr. Reginald W. Brock, director
of the Geological Survey of Canada.

NO RED TAPE ABOUT IT.

“We didn’t make any fuss at all
about it,” said Dr. Smith at the Geo¬
logical Congress this morning. “I
wrote to Dr. Brock and suggested the
idea, and he gladly coincided with it.
I don’t want to be quoted as saying
this, but the Congress heartily approve
of the resultant map.”

It is really a wonderful map. The
more you study it the more there is
in it, and after some ten minutes you
I feel as satisfied as if you had had a
trip to the Falls. Every last house
and building is marked; the lakes
are tinted differently from the ponds,
and the different rock strata are indi¬
cated by colorings. Even the ceme¬
teries are included, and the depres¬
sions in the soil. This map is being
distributed in Guide Book No. 4 of
Excursions in Southwestern Ontario,
issued by the Geological Survey at
Ottawa.

WORKED ON BOUNDARY LINE.

“I have often worked so near the
boundary,” continued Dr. Smith, “that
I couldn’t tell if I was working on Can¬
adian or United States soil. The
boundaries weren’t so closely marked
as they are now.”

“I suppose Yellowstone Park is your
best hunting ground,” was suggested.

“It’s good, but at present we are*
spending a lot of time at Glacier
National Park. That extends into
Western Canada. Canada should make
a park of their half of it also.”

Evidently nature wasn’t a bit care¬
ful when she ran this big mine of re¬
search carelessly across the border
line of two countries. But, of course,
nature got there first— and nature will

NEW YORK IS HORRID PLACE.

Dr. Tadasu Hiki, Professor of Geol¬
ogy of the University of Kyoto, was
patiently polite when he was asked if
Japan afforded a good field for study.
It was an idiotic question, considering
the formation of the island, but the
Japanese are proverbially courteous.

"Japan is all volcanic rocks and
earthquakes, you know,” he answered,
laughingly. “We have four universities
possessing geological research depart¬
ments.”

OMX-

?' To say that Dr. Hlki is delighted
with Canada is too mild. He arrived
first in New York, and struck the hot
week there. It has turned nice and
cool since then, and, standing in the
big stone porch of the University
building, looking over the green cam¬
pus, while a strong breeze swept in the
odor of burning bushes—well, it gave
a lovely impression of Toronto. We
didn’t awaken the doctor as to To¬
ronto’s real character when the ther¬
mometer lets loose as she did about
ten days ago. So he just stood and
beamed and breathed in the cool air
and said.

“New York is a most disagreeable
place. Very hot- Stifling. Up in Can¬
ada here it is nice and fresh. Good

air.”

There are three of these visitors from
Japan. Dr. Kozu is studying geology
in Washington, and Dr. Kido, who is
also from Kyoto, is returning to Japan
after joining in the excursion w r hich
goes through to Vancouver. Dr. Hiki
himself intends to study in New York
for a time before going back to his
own land.

NEW MUSEUM OPENED TO-DAY.

The new university museum on
Bloor street is suffering from
shock this morning. It was
called out of of bed in its curl
papers, so to speak, to receive dis¬
tinguished visitors, and it is visibly
quivering with rage and disappointment,
with its best dress all ready upstairs
if the visitors had only waited a week
or so.

The pavement hasn’t been put down
yet, and the approach is over rough
planks. At the door there is a big
express w'agon and some men unloading
iron doors or table covers therefrom.
But the Congress is on and the doors
were promptly throwm open to visitors
at 10 oktlock this morning. The pub¬
lic are not invited yet and must wait
for the formal opening-

On the ground floor are a number
of framed exhibits that looked exactly
like the family linen when it comes
back from the laundry. The

same old tears and frays

were there, but the sign on

the frame dispelled any idea that it
was that lost roller towel at last. It
was found in a tomb at Egypt in the
third century A.D., and is very valu¬
able, as it won’t last much longer.

CANADIAN SPECIMENS.

Upstairs, however, is the goal of
the geologists. Here are long cases
with glass covers, under which are
rows and row r s and rows of meek,
small stones and pieces of rock, with
names that only a stone could bear
and live. The meekest-looking gentle¬
man of the lot was N. W. Scopus, a
plain, unassuming little chap, wdth
i white spots on him. One round, fat,
specimen with prickles claimed to
have come from ancient Jericho, and
another from Solomon’s Pools. There
w'ere a large number of tables contain¬
ing the collection of Mr. Z. A. Lash.

On the top floor w-ere the speci¬
mens from Canada in particular, and it
was to this ha.ll that most of the visit¬
ors found their way. Very few or¬
dinary people wnlked past the lit.-ej
sign pointing to this retreat. It said:
“Department of Palaenontology,” and
after reading that the uninstrurt.ed
decided to attend a lecture before
going any further in the matter. But,
according to the guide, the value of I

the exhibits contained In Toronto’s
new museum is beyond price. Canada
has no need to be ashamed of the dis¬
play she can spread before these
learned men from Russia, Germany,
France, Sweden, Japan and every
other country not mentioned.

COLORS FOR LANGUAGES.

If you wear a red ribbon you can
speak English at this Congress. If
you wear blue you’re French, and yel¬
low means you know what they mean
w r hen they say "Wle gehts.” If you
wear the whole three it means people
will stand back and look at you and
be afraid to speak to you at all. But
some of them do it, though there are
some conscientious people who are
nervous about even claiming a right
to the red ribbon.

In a little, .room, in the West-Hall..

Madame Hoffman sits and pins these
ribbons on as the case requires. You
have the choice of a bar pin or a stick
pin or a button. And Madame Hoffman
is having the nicest possible kind of
time in the cool, vine-shaded little
room, for she is an exile from Paris,
and every so often some one will rush
in with extended hands and the
French floats round your head in tor¬
rents.

“I am charmed,” she declares. "I
have met the most interesting of peo¬
ple, and they know all my own people
in France.”

This is a mutual delight, for it
gives Toronto a nice cosmopolitan
feeling to have a real Parisienne to
receive our French visitors. And Mme.
Hoffman speaks seven languages, so
there weren’t enough colors to decor¬
ate her with.

So far as madame can say, there is
only one lady student of geology pres¬
ent—a Miss Rathgen, from Berlin.
But there are many w r ho are helping
their husbands in the work. And
they’ve all left their babies at home. 1
Madame w^as much amused at the
story of the lady, Mrs. Quesnel, who
never kissed her husband.

“Why, as soon as I saw her I knew
that wasn’t true,” she remarked
naively, _ _j_

With The Delvers-Into-Things

Points About the Ready-for-Emergency Explorers of the Rocks,
Who are Now in Congress at Toronto—Men Speaking Many
Languages Foregather From Ends of the Earth.

From the ends of the earth, from
dim laboratories in hoary old Euro¬
pean universities, from mountain
camps in the Andes, or the Pyrenees,
or the Alps, or the Caucasians, from
Siberia and from London, from France
and from South America, the Twelfth
ecological Congress of the World has
assembled itself in a dim room in the
west wing of the University of Tor- j
onto. It speaks in French, Chinese,
German, Japanese, English, and al¬
most every language in the civilized
world. It is ready to discuss the
world’s coal supply, the nitrate de¬
posits of South America, earthquakes
and tidal waves, fossils and the auth¬
enticity of Genesis, biology and Cobalt
silver deposits, how to live for ten
days on five ounces of prepared food
or. a bald mountain top, and the best
methods for estimating your chances
of getting out of a volcanic crater
alive. Not a geologist among them
but can set a broken leg, or navigate
by the stars, or read the palm of a
mining proposition, tell where an
earthquake came from, or how old the
piece of stone is which crops out. of
your old home farm up in Perth
County. Never has there been seen
in Canada or in the City of Toronto
such a distinguished gathering of men
—and women. They are not merely
scientists^ but persons of personal
bravery and endurance who have
made perilous excursions into the out¬
landish parts of the earth in the cause
of science. And above all, they are a
human, good-natured, interested, and
interesting aggregation of people.

The fact that the Geological Con¬
gress has come to Canada this year
signifies a great thing for Canada.
These are not merely five hundred
tourists, or five hundred learned per¬
sons who will see and forget. These
men and women, having already spent
several weeks in exploring Ontario,
Quebec, and the Maritime Provinces,
will, after visiting the Canadian West
and Alaska, return to their respec¬
tive parts of the world to report on
the things they saw r in Canada. Some
of them will do so in lectures to their
students in a hundred great universi¬
ties; others will report to their Gov¬
ernments, to their commercial employ¬
ers, and almost all of them will write
in some publication or other their im-
piessions of Canada. Twenty-five
Governments, thirty-eight countries,
and hundreds of scientific institutions
are thus being brought directly in
touch with Canada and its possibili¬
ties.

This great congress is almost forty
years old. It began with a collection
of maps and other geological records
at the International Exhibition at
Philadelphia in 1876. Geologists there
Conceived the idea of having some in¬
ternational organization to facilitate
the exchange of data and opinions
among the geologists of the world. Con¬
sequently the first Geological Congress
was held in Paris in 1878 at the Paris
Exhibition. The secretary of the first
committee was a Canadian, the late
Dr. T- Sterry Hunt, Chemist and Min¬
eralogist to the Geological Survey of

Canada from 1847 to 1872. There were
three Canadians on the committee
which organized the first Congress —
the Comite Fondateur of 3 876: Dr.
Hunt, A. R. C. Selwyn, and Psul de,
Caze.

J. B. Tyrrell, the Toronto explorer
and geologist, is one of the outstand¬
ing men in the gathering. Mr. Tyrrell’s
big frame is to be seen moving among
the crowd, finding old friendis and mak¬
ing new ones, listening to stories or
telling them himself, and helping- the
strangers to feel at home generally.
Mr. Tyrrell is the man who made the
famous journey across the barren
lands of our northern wilderness. A
journey to Port Nelson or Churchill is
only a trifling matter to him. He only
recently returned from an excursion to
the shores of Hudson's Bay to survey
and report on the strip of territory al¬
lotted to Ontario out o-f the partition
I of Keewatin. 1

Mrs. J. B. Tyrrell has accompanied
her husband on some of his less seri¬
ous expeditions. Recently she ac-
| companied the geologist on their ex-
' cursion to the Cobalt region. One of
the events of the trip was a journey to
Bear Island in Lake Te-magami. Here
the party met certain Indians who
greatly interested the geologists from
Eurppe by their -moccasin-making. The
chief, White Bear, had a little tame
bear which caught Mrs. Tyrrell's fancy,
bite wanted to buy it. A little trifle
like a -bear or two in his backyard did
not for a moment phase her husband.
He bought the bear, had it crated and
shipped to Toronto. Rumor says it
escaped on the way to the train. Mr.
Tyrrell does not say.

H. M. Caddeil, a Scotch geologist
showed certain Indians who live along
ft* f or f of i he Machine Rapids that
the dancing of the Canadian Indian is

sichorean abilities of the Scotch. The

somo of the geologists up
to visit the reserve. Here a courtship
and wedding ceremony was put on by
the Indians, much to the delight of the
visitors. A pretty Indian maid stood in
the centre of the clearing, and one by
one her suitors appeared, making
speeches and offering gifts. Finally
came one brave with furs and trink-
eta ~ and the squaw capitulated.

After this, four or five of the geol¬
ogists were initiated into the tribe, in¬
cluding Mr. Caddeil. The Indians had
heard of the degrees bestowed by Mc¬
Gill and they thought they could do as
much themselves. Part of the cere¬
mony included the doing of certain
tribe dances by the candidates. They
all did so in the best way they could,
following in the steps of the Indians.
But Caddeil was no imitator, no mere
mimic; he did the Highland fling and
the hornpipe to the consternation of
the white folk and the delight of the
Indians. They christened the Scotch¬
man “Big Dancer.”

At Sudbury, the Board of Trade
gave a banquet. It was one of the
most successful the geologists have
attended in Canada. But bewilder¬
ment showed on the faces of the
guests as they looked at the bever¬
ages placed before them. Polite ques¬
tions and doubts flew softly about the 1
table in five different languages.

“What is it,” they whispered.

“It” was pink and red and orange
and green. Such wines the European
had never dreamed of. But it wasn’t

Canada's great future as a. coal pro¬
ducing country, as compared to the
small .share she now lakes in the coal
output of tlie nations of the world,
formed the basis of some intensely in- ■
teresting information given in a re¬
view of the coal resources of the world.

■which was read before the Internation¬
al Geological Congress at the afternoon
session yesterday by R. N. Brock,
general secretary of the congros$.

According to reliable statistics,
which were prepared under the direc¬
tion of the executive sub-committee
of the coal resource committee, while
the production of Canada at the pre¬
sent time is only about 12,000,000 tons
annually, the output from now on is
expected to increase rapidly, and the
actual exhaustion of the supply Ties far
in the misty future.

The actual coal reserves of Canada
are 675,000,000 to'ns class A. 29,161.-
000,000 tons class B. and C, and 384,-
908,000,000 tons class D\ In addition to
these, the probable coal reserves of
the Dominion are estimated as: 1,483,-
000,000 tons class A, 254,500,000,000
class R. and C., and 563,482,000,000
tons class D. British Columbia, Al¬
berta and Nova Scotia are the big
coal prov inces of the Dominion. On-
taria shows a probable, reserve of 25,-
000,000 tons of the soft variety.

The total “actual,” “probable" and
“possible” coal reserves of all qualities
for the entire world-are set down at
3,397,553,000,000 tons. Of this esti¬
mate 5,103.528,000.000 tons are credit¬
ed to America, including north and
south continents: to Asia 1,270,586,-
000,000, Europe 734,190,000,000, Ocea¬
nia 170,110.000,000 and Africa 67,889,- •
000,000. The big feature of these fig¬
ures is that they show America has
more coal several times over than all j
the.other continents.

Discussion of coal reserves included
addresses on the coal reserves of
France and Germany, speakers giving
their addresses in their native tongues.

One of the big features of the con¬

tors from foreign lands employ their
own languages and when it is consid¬
ered that 25 different languages are
represented among the delegates, it
will be seen that he who gets the full

GEOLOGISTS IN TORONTO.

Of all tli© many conventions which
have made Toronto «heir rendezvous
this year non© has 'brought such honor
to the city as that at present in ses¬
sion of the 12th International Geologic¬
al Congress of the "World. Its dele¬
gates, men of international reputation
in 'tlhe wiorl'd of science, come from ev¬
ery civilized nation, and there is
scarcely any considerable section of
the habitable gitoibe which is not rep¬
resented by one or more geotagists
familiar with its conditions. The
representation is close upon 500, and
there are twenty-three languages
spoken, although the congress recog¬
nizes only the three official tongues of
science, French, German and English,
in any one of which the addresses
may he made.

It was an interesting sight yester¬
day at almost any hour to notice
dwellers in 'countries as far removed
almost «® the poles conversing to¬
gether, French, as is usual, appearing
to be the eunmoii medium of expres¬
sion. Here might be observed a Jap
in animated conversation with a
European, or a Norwegian talking to

countries of South America. The
men seem all of a fine type, Clear-eyed

occupation, which demands an active
life out of doors as well as the seclu¬

striking contrast to the general un-

The Official Welcome.

Sir Charles Fitzpatrick' delivered his
address in French, prefacing it with
a few remarks in English, stating that
it was fitting his address should be
made in French, the official language
of the organization.

A message from H.R.H. the Duke of
Connaught welcoming the delegates
to Canada and regretting his absence
from the congress was read by Sir
Charles, who also made excuses for
the Prime Minister. The latter was
prevented from being present by the
pressure of public business. 0 oe a
dress was concluded with references
to the work of former congresses and
some, remarks on the geologico
mineral wealth of Canada.

Bon W. H. Hearst, who followed,
spoke of the honor that the province
receives in this visit, particularly l

The World’s Coal Resources.

The public business of the congress
began with a meeting in Convocation
Hall at 3 o’clock, whan the topic,
“Coal Resource® of the World.” was
introduced, Mr. R. W. Brock, general
secretary of the congress, reading a
paper on the monograph, which was
presented to the opening session, on
“The Coal Resources of the World.”

In introducing his remarks Mr.
Brock explained that one regrettable
feature of the undertaking was the
curtailment of some of the reports
arid work upon some of the maps, ow¬
ing to the necessity of having the work
prepared in time for the present con¬
gress. Some of the material was de¬
layed, said .fie, through the late ar¬
rival’of new material. Mr. Brock’s ad¬
dress was in part as follows;

This monograph is intended to form
a companion work to the “Iron Ore
Resources of the World,” published
under the auspices of the eleventh
congress. Its preparation and publi¬
cation were entrusted to a committee
consisting of G. G. S. Lindsay, con¬
venor: F. D. Adams, R. W. Brock, D.
B Dowling, Charles Fergie, James
McEvov J. B. Pater, and William Mc-
Innes; .. while the actual editing was
done by William Mclnnes, D. R. Dow¬
ling and W. W. Leach, of the Geo¬
logical Survey.

The main body of the* monograph
has reports on 64 countries, most of
them in English, while all the reports
are summarized in English in the
first, volume.-

■ The preface'by R. W. Brock calls
attention to the very cordial support
given by geological surveys and other
similar departments of Governments
throughout the world. In addition, in¬
formation was obtained from special¬
ists who had had unqualified oppor¬
tunities for the study of particular
fields, though unofficially connected
with the fields about •which they
write. A particular contribution of
this sort deals with the coal resources
of China, written by Dr. Noah Drake,
whose long university experience has
given him exceptional opportunities
for the study of this question.

It is explained, that owing to the
lack of uniformity in the usage of the
different countries of the 'world re¬
garding the classification of coals, it
was found necessary to adopt an ar¬
bitrary classification that might be
used by all. A scheme of classifica¬
tion was drawn up and most of the re¬
ports have been prepared in accord¬
ance with it.

In the introduction Mr. Dowling
summarizes the results, dealing first
with the distribution of coal In the
various geological systems.

1,397,588 Million Tons of Coal.

Some interesting figures give sta¬
tistics of the coal reserves of the
world, as compiled from the reports
received. The total is 7,397,533 mil¬
lion tons. Of the anthracite coals,
Asia, with the great Chinese fields, has
hy far the largest supply of any of
the great continental divisions, fur¬
nishing 407,637, million tons. The
world's production of coal for 1910
was about 1,145 million tons, so that,
allowing for areas which cannot be
economically mined, there is still
enough coal left for many hundreds
of years. In individual countries, how¬
ever, the end is in sight already.

The production of Canada at the
present time is only in the neighbor¬
hood of 12 million tons annually, and
as it is estimated that there are in
[ the neighborhood of 1,000,000 mil¬
lion tons in reserve, the future appears
safe.

Following the introduction is a
summary by the editors of each of the
detailed reports.

The main portion of the work,
which, of course, is given up to the de-
. tailed reports, shows that very few
1 countries of the world are without
coal resources of some kind. In the
j. remaining part of volume I. there are
very valuable reports of China and
|japan, together with the islands of
•Oceania.

I Volume II. contains reports of
^Africa. America, the West Indies and
j part of Europe. These are prepared
I by a number of eminent men in their
j respective fields, and give Interesting
! information regarding the resources ot
I the different countries. The Canadian
I report is prepared by D. B. Dowling,

I and there is another hy J. P. Ilowley
' on the coal areas of Newfoundland,
which he believes are extensions of
the coal fields of Nova Scotia- The
American fields are taken up by Mr.
M. It. Campbell, of the United States
Geological Survey, who estimates that
of an original content of 3,225 billion
tons, 11 billion have been used up to
the present.

Has Little Coal Left.

Great Britain is estimated to have
a, reserve of 189,534 million metric
tons most of it bituminous, while
France has 17,584 million, also chiefly
.bituminous. Tvvo other interesting
countries mentioned in this volume
are Switzerland and Turkey , the
mer because it has almost depleted its
coal supply, having only 4,000 tons of
anthracite and 500 of bituminous coal
left, while Turkey has large <iuan i-
k ties' of ' .'own coal and cannel-like
i bituminous coal.

though it is probable that there is a
large further reserve. The volume
closes with the Russian report, 1 which
gives 335,997 million tons reserve of
all grades for the country.

In addition to the very numerous
maps and illustrations i.n the three
volumes, there is an atlas containing
68 pages of maps, most of them in
color. Especially noteworthy among
the plates are perhaps the colored
maps of China, Corea, Manchuria and
Japan. Those of Austria and France
and the eight maps of the coal fields
of Canada are also of great interest.

Declared Classification is Wrong.

That the entire monograph does not
meet with the approval of all dele¬
gates present was made strikingly
[ evident when at the contSuothh of Mr.

: Brock's paper. J. M. Gordon, ofi Mont¬
real. rose to lodge .a vigorous protest
against the classification of coal. He
declared that he was prepared to
prove the system .adopted absolutely
wrong, and pointing put that it i.s im¬
possible to judge a coal hy its chemi¬
cal constituents, which vary greatly,
and even when not varying appreci¬
ably often cover coals of two com¬
plete classes, he maintained that the
only satisfactory method to he adopt¬
ed is to have a classification worked
out by the petrographer as a result
of microscopic examination of the
coal. The difficulty in classification
lies apparently in the. difference in
texture of the flora which . went to
make up the coal when laid down in
the different localities. . Finally he
urged that until such a classification
is prepared the only method to adopt
is to stick to the rough classifications
of commerce into anthracite, steam,
household, oanuel, lignite, etc.

Speeches were also heard from M.
A. Defline, one of the most eminent
of the corps of French engineers, and
. Dr. J. P. Krusch, of Berlin, both of
whom spoke in their native tongues.
The former spoke 'Chiefly on the re-
| sources of France, while Dr. Krusch
j delivered a paper by M. Boker deal¬
ing with the situation in Germany,
and pointing out the difficulty of mak¬
ing a classification at the present
time.

Two short extempore speech.es were
i heard .from Dr. J. W. Evans on the
African fields, and A. S. Kittson, an
eminent authority on Australian con¬
ditions, who spoke upon the fields of
Victoria and also of Southern Nigeria.

At the conclusion of the session the
delegates had tea served to them by
j the Ladies’ Local Committee in the
quadrangle of the university.

A Geological World Map.

Practical suggestions for the plot-
. ting of a geological map of the world
were presented last evening by Em- ,
manuel de Margerie, past president
of the Geological Society of France, in
an address before [he Geological Con¬
gress in Convocation Hall. The latest
complete maps of the kind, M. Mar¬
gerie said, were published in 184 5 and
i 1861 respectively. The second of these
had often been reproduced since then,
but was now of little use, due to the
progress and widening of knowledge
in the meantime.

There are at present modern scien¬
tific geological maps of Europe and
North America, M. Margerie said. The
former is the production of a commis¬
sion, and the other is issued by the
United States Geological Surveys, that
body having co-operated in its com¬
pilation with the surveys of Canada
and Mexico.

M. Margerie favore what he calls a
continental plan of mapping the
world, as opposed lo a ’’mundial,
the latter comprising the whole area
of land and water on the globe on
Mercator's projection. The chief ob¬
jection to the whole-world projection

duces this fault to a minimum. A
secondary objection lies in the fact
that seven-tenths of the earth s area
is covered with water, and therefore
comparatively barren from the geolo¬
gist’s standpoint; an immense waste
of expensive space in the map is
therefore saved by using the conti¬
nental in preference to the mundial

pl an . , .

M. 'MaTgerie’s suggestion is tnat tne

method already adopted in mapping
Europe and North America be ex¬
tended to the other great land areas
of the world. He would have the
map of South America first under¬
taken, and would entrust the work to
German scientists and German print¬
ers. He would have the map of
Australia prepared under the auspices
of the Government of that Common¬
wealth. Africa, he said, should be
entrusted to the French. In the case
of Asia, much of the data could be
supplied by the official bodies of
various European nations, and. the
maps, M. Margerie suggested, should
be produced by Bartholomew, of >
Great Britain. This would leave only
Antarctica and Oceania unmapped,
and M. Margerie believes there is no
great need for the geological carto- j
grapher’s art in those regions just

1 yet - .

M. Margerie, who is a frail-looking,

| dark little man with scholarly
shoulders and a bushy French beard,
gave his address In English, by re¬
quest, opening and closing, however,
in his own tongue. He was intro¬
duced by President Falconer, of the
university.

GEOLOGISTS IN TORONTO.

THE GEOLOGISTS.

We wish She International Geo¬
logical Congress a prosperous session
dn Canada. Its meeting in Toronto :
and lbs several excursions through the
country will, we hope, prove in the
highest degree instructive and pleasur¬
able for the members, and fruitful of
good for the Dominion. Canada’s
turn for a session of the congress was
bound to come. The immense tract
of the Dominion has been sufficiently
explored by the field men of our Geo¬
logical Survey and by the experts
of the several provincial mining
bureaus to unfold the main features |
in the story its rocks have to tell. And
the work done by these pioneers of
science, and the prospectors who fol¬
lowed in their wake, or in some cases
preceded them, has contributed greatly
to the progress of the country'.

'Our geological survey has been of
great public usefulness. Its labors,
especially in the last twenty yearn,
have been largely' directed along
economic lines, and in that way have
been most serviceable. The survey
and the various Provincial Mines De¬
partments have brought to light
mineral deposits whose utilization has
caused large capital Investments here,
and has built up industries affording
employment to multitudes of workers.
The Geological Survey of Canada has
indeed justified its existence. It came
into being in a very unambitious way

71 years ago, and after a period of J
meagre aid by" the Government, and
of precarious existen.ee, it finally was I
admitted to its jjroj?er status as a
branch of -Government, and to-day' the I
director of the survey has the rank :
and title of a Deputy Minister. In Its
struggling days it had the services <5f
very distinguished men. Sir William
Logan, its first head, who was Provin¬
cial Geologist of the old Province of
Canada, presided over it and toiled in
its behalf from 1842 till IS69, when he
resigned. Dr. ,Sterry Hunt, who was
chemist and mineralogist of the sur- ,
vey, was one of the foremost original
workers of his day in these depart¬
ments of science. Elkana' Billings,
paleontologist of the survey, also rose
to great distinction in that particular
field of enquiry. Of the men who were
with Sir William Logam, Dr. Robert
Bell is the only survivor. Upon him
some year§ ago was conferred the
medal of the Royal Geographic So¬
ciety. Dr. Bell, who was acting
director of the survey for years, and
who should have been titular director i
during that time, has a fine record as
explorer and discoverer.

The survey has issued about a thou¬
sand maps and publications,,and many
of its work's are of great authority.
At all the International Exhibitions
held since the middle of last century
the exhibits of Canada's Geological
Survey have been the fullest and the

going on the savant had a three-foot
w >re fence put round the property
and the promoters put in jail when
they poked their noses over it. Now
the investors in the Fatherland have
only the photographs to console them.

One of the most popular members
of the Congress is Mr. Bedford Mc¬
Neill, familiar wherever a drill is
run as the author and possessor of
the standard code for mining men

ing firm of mining engineers and you

dent of the Institution of Mining and
Metallurgy, a mining guild of the I
Bt itish Empire. No man can enter
its ranks unless he has had fifteen
years’ experience in full charge of a
mine or works appertaining to the
industry. Mr. McNeill has made a
study of precious metal mining, and
is an authority upon the history of
early attempts to dig silver and gold
out of the rock at a reasonable profit.
But he is by no means only a sojourn¬
er in the past. As the owner of a silver
mine in Mexico, he is in pretty close
touch with the trend of prices in the
precious metal market.

Mr. McNeill is not inclined to view
with too much apprehension the
trouble in Mexico.

“I believe it has been much over¬
stated,” he said, "or, of course it
would be very serious. For the’pre¬
sent, at any rate, the enormous
stocks of silver held by Indian spec¬
ulators will prevent any sensible rise
in silver. But if conditions continue
to be disturbed, nothing could prevent
a gradual trend upward in the
price.”

It was acclaimed at the opening of
the twelfth session of the Internation¬
al Geological Congress yesterday that
while Toronto is known as the city of
conventions this was the first of a
truly international nature.

If the delegates had been gifted
with all the tongues of Pentecost
there would have been many solitary
souls wandering round the West wing
of the main buildings of the Univer¬
sity of Toronto yesterday for want of
an interpreter. But the modern
world has grown to be so much clos¬
er knit that the three key languages
of the world gave a solution. Eng¬
lish, of course, served well enough
for all parts of the British Empire
and the United States. It also served
for the three Japanese delegates, one
of whom spoke very passable Anglo-
Saxon. The French blue rib¬
bon, typifying the official lan¬
guage of the Congress lot-
many centuries, used exclusively in
the Courts of Europe as the polite
tongue of diplomacy, the sciences and
the arts, waved in many a buttonhole.
To it turned all the Latins, from the
Argentine and Chili, Colombia and
France, Greece and Guatemala, Indo
China and Italy, Mexico and Peru,
Portugal and Spain. The German
tongue sufficed for the many German
delegates, the Bulgars and the Rou¬
manians, Austria and Hungary, Den¬
mark and Finland, the Netherlands
and Norway, Russia and Sweden.

The Geological Departments of both
the Federal and Provincial Govern- j
ments rose magnificently to the occas¬
ion, and provided linguists for all
comers. The stalwart, broad-shoul-
jidered young giant who supplied the
, members with literature and delighl-
I ed the hearts of the Teutons with the
I familiar gutturals, was a Boer who
! fought valiantly for Paul Kruger some
thirteen years ago. To-day he is a
valued member of the Geological Sur¬
vey of the Department of Mines at
Ottawa. There were, of course,
Frenchmen in plenty. Looking over
the benches at Convocation Hall it
was apparent that there was little of
the market place among these men.
They were savants, seekers after
knowledge, more interested in the dis¬
covery of a well-defined fault than of
: all the gold and silver mines in North-
1 ern Ontario. Each from a different
angle was working on the same prob¬
lems, and once every three years they
journey from the utmost parts of the
earth to rub theory against theory
; and report progress.

In such a case Cobalt, and through
it Canada, would materially benefit, as
a rise of a cent an ounce means hun¬
dreds of thousands of dollars a month
In the aggregate to the Cobalt pro¬
ducers in the greatest silver camp in
the world.

High iea” as a social institution
has been established on all the excur¬
sions of the geologists, and to-day the
prestige of Toronto was well main¬
tained by the ladies’ committee on
tne lawns of the University.

But with a few the lures of the
financial world had been too strong
to resist. Such a one’ was a bearded
geologist from the Fnited States.

“Here is another kind of wildcat,”
the writer was told, and immediately
stepped aside to hear.

It appeared that the man of science
had obtained the rights of several
thousand acres of molybdenite de¬
posit. He had sunk several pits, but
had neglected to close them In. There
appeared on the scene “wildcatters”
who, innocently or willfully, staked
out the-greater portion of the savant’s
holdings and proceeded to advertise.
They induced New Vork bankers to
come out. took them over the ground
as their own, and had them photo¬
graphed in the pits where the
ore was richest. These pictures were
I sent to Germany, where the value of
molybdenite is best appreciated, and
hundreds of thousands of shares of
stock were sold. Finding • what was

Canada’s Supply.

That monumental contribution to
the world’s stock of knowledge, which
"ill mark the Twelfth International
Geological iffingresM, “The Coal Re¬
sources of the World” was laid under
the lenses of the geologists, mineralo¬
gists and petrologists of the world
yesterday, and was found practically
without flaw. A discussion interest¬
ing in the extreme was the outcome
of the appearance of the monograph,
and Convocation Hail rang with Ger¬
man, French and English echoes as
eminent men spoke to the subject of
coal resources.

The last Congress at Sweden beheld
the appearance of a work upon the
iron ore resources of the world, which
consisted of two volumes. The pre¬
sent monograph upon the coal re¬
sources consists of three volumes
containing 1,360 pages, and an atlas
in color 13% x 19 % inches, publish¬
ed by Morang & Company, Limited,
of Toronto.

The preparation and publication
of the monograph was entrusted by
the Executive Committee to a Coal
Resources Committee consisting of
Messrs. G. G. S. Lindsey (Conven¬
or), F. D. Adams, R. W. Brock, D.
B. Dowling, Charles Fergie, James
McEvoy, J. B. Porter and William
Mclnnes.

Sixty-four Countries Contribute.

In the main body of the monograph
1 the reports are gathered from no
fewer than sixty-four countries, some
of which occupy over 100 pages. The
greater number of the reports are in
English, ten are in French and six in
German. Mr. R. W. Brock, the
General Secretary of the Congress,
who wrote the proem to the mono¬
graph, pays generous tribute to the
assistance which the Coal Resources

Committee received from all sources.

“In three instances only,” says Mr.

Brock; “Greenland, Peru and Brazil,
has it been .necessary to compile from
published literature; consequently,
the reports presented may be taken
as the very latest and most authori¬
tative pronouncements upon the coal
resources of the world. In many
cases they represent the first com- ] classifications.

various subdivisions, based mainly on
composition and heating value.’ In
this scheme A roughly corresponds
to Anthracite, B and C to bituminous
coal and D to sub-bituminous coal
brown coal and lignite.

The total reserves of the world com¬
piled from all the reports leceived
amount to 7.397,533 million tons of
which nearly 4.000,000 millions ’are
bituminous coals, nearly 3,000,000 mil¬
lions are brown coals of various
grades and nearly 500,000 millions are
anthracite coals. Of the anthracite
coals Asia, with the great Chinese
fields, has by tar the largest supplv
of any of the great continental divi¬
sions, furnishing 407,637 million tons;
in bituminous coals America with
: 271,080.000 million tons leads by a
great margin as she does also in the
I various grades of Drown coals. The
world's production of coal for the
year 1910 was about 1.145 million tons,
so that, though much must be allow¬
ed for loss in mining and for areas
that tor various reasons cannot be
economically mined, there still re¬
mains many hundred of years before
exhaustion of tne supply may he
looked for. Taking up the individual
countries, however, it is found that in
more than one case the end is in sight.

Production in Canada.

The production of Canada at the
present time is only in the neighbor¬
hood of twelve million tons annually
and though the output may be ex¬
pected to increase rapidly the figures
given above show that actual exhaus¬
tion of the supply lies very far in the
future. The monograph shows -On¬
tario with only a small “probable
reserve of 25,000,000 tons of inferior
soft quality.

Spoke Many Tongues.

The chairman of the afternoon ses¬
sion was Dr. T. Tschernyschew, the
Director of the Russian Geological
Survey, a striking personality. Long,
grey hair well thrown back revealed
a head of leonine proportions, but he
was as simple and unaffected as a
child. It was a delightful scene
which occurred when one ‘gentleman
got up to speak and sat down again
under the impression that he was not
alowed to speak in Engish. The Doc¬
tor motioned upward with a broad
smile and the gentleman went on. The
first speaker caused somewhat of a
sensation by attacking the classifica¬
tion used by the editors of the Coal
Resources. Mr. J. M. Gordon, a
mining engineer of Montreal, said
“Many attempts have been made to
classify coals, but. there is not a single
classification to-day that can be laid
to have any degree of accuracy.” A
classification very much in use by the
commercial men was the classifica¬
tion of coal by the length of flame,
but this could only be comparative.

an interesting account of the work
done in the Nyassa field.

Map of the World.

“The Geological Map of the World"
was the subject of a lecture delivered
in the Convocation Hall in the even¬
ing by M. Emmanuel de Margerie,
Ancien President de 1a, Societe Geolo-
gique de France. The lecturer re¬
viewed in detail the principal geolo¬
gical maps in common use. pointing
out their merits and defects. In his
opinion the best map in existence is
the geological map of North Am¬
erica, which was prepared under the
direction of Mr. Bayley Willis. Di¬
rector of Geological Survey for the
United States. This map, which
covers the United States and Canada,
is prepared on a five millionth scale.
He suggested that in order to obtain
the best possible map of the world,
the map of North America should be
imitated and a complete map secured
by a co-operative system. South Am¬
erica, he said, could be surveyed by
Germany, Asia by Great Britain and
Russia. Africa by France, and Aus¬
tralia by Australians. By this method
the entire world would be covered
and a uniform map obtained.

Toronto, Friday, August 8, 1913.

The Geologists

“Surely,” said Job, “there is a vein
for the silver, and a place for gold
where they fine it. Iron is taken out
of the earth, and brass is molten out
of the stone. But where shall wisdom
be found, and where is the place of

understanding? Man knoweth not thej
price thereof; neither is it found in
the land of the living.”

Job may not have been much of a

8 geologist, but he excelled in humility,
and no doubt equally modest men are
to be found amongst the great gather-
ing of scientists who honor Toronto
by their presence this week. Already
we have one of them confessing in
an interview that no one yet knows
of what material the centre of the
earth is composed. There must be
pockets of molten matter and gaseous
material with a highly dense mass at
the very heart of the globe, but all is
supposition.

Science has examined the vomitings
of volcanoes, together with the dis¬
placed formations of rock thrown to
the surface by seismic disturb¬
ances. Science has even scratched the
crust of the earth to a depth of over
a mile, but the most eminent of
geologists will admit with the ancient
Hebrew that there still is much guess¬
work about their knowledge.

Bret Harte puts into the mouth of
an alleged geologist an eloquent ad¬
dress to a Pliocene Skull, found in a
California gold diggings. The "frag¬
mentary fossil” of primitive humanity
is referred to as “older than the hills,
those infantile eruptions of earth’s
epidermis,” and it is exhorted to tell

the wondrous story of the world’s
creative period of which it was a
witness. Suddenly the skull ejects a
quid of tobacco and replies:—

“Which my name is Bowers, and
my crust was busted
Falling down a shaft in Calaveras
County,

But I’d take it kindly if you’d send
the pieces \

Home to Old Missouri.”

Much license is allowed to poets
and particularly to humorous poets.
It would be indeed an amateur
scientist who would take a Forty-
Niner’s skull for that of a pliocene
man. The fact remains that not until
late in the nineteenth century was
the science of geology placed upon its
present foundations by such men as
Darwin, Humboldt and William Smith.
Even yet there is much to learn. The
w’hole thickness of the stratified sedi¬
mentary rocks in their normal de¬
velopment is supposed to be about
30,000 feet, or less than six miles, and
the time for the accumulation of
these layers is placed at 90,000,000
years. But these are only estimates.

Within a generation or two long es¬
tablished conceptions have been
swept aside, and in this as in other
fields of science there is a great deal
concerning which scientists cannot say,
“We know.” They have, how¬
ever, taught us much of in¬

terest concerning the surface of
this curious spinning globe upon

which we live out our short

lives, and their coming to To¬
ronto from all parts of the world is
an event of importance. Intellectually
the community will gain from
the visit of many eminent men, and
it is reasonable also to expect that
industrial and commercial benefits
will spring from their presence in the
country.

Bondoe Peninsula, Province of Tay-
abas, in the Philippines, was discussed
by W. E. Pratt of Manila. Olaf Ralt-
ciake of Christiana, Norway, gave a
paper upon the Old Red Sandstone
series 1 of North-Western Spitsbergen.
Mr. Bailey Willis of the United State*
concluded the morning prograifl with
an Interesting account of the survey of
the forty-first parallel in Argentine.

The ladies of the congress lunched
together in the Legislature restaurant
at 1.15.

Practical Questions.

Six committees, or “commissions”
also met this morning for considera¬
tion of the following special practical
questions referred to them by the Con¬
gress yesterday.

The inauguration of a periodical
prize for the best performance in the
way of geological discovery:

The creation of an international re¬
view of geology.

A commissioh for the study of Uni¬
versal Palaeontology—namely the study
of plant and animal life In the differ¬
ent geological periods.

human fossil.

A commission for the publication of
a “lextque de stratigraphie,” namely
a dictionary including all the rock
strata in alphabetical order.

ciers.

Some Startling Topics.

After a little light refreshment, the
famous men and women of the geolo¬
gical world went to their work -again
at 2.30. This time they divided into
three sections, so as to cover more
ground, and a larger number of rocks.

Section one met in the main build¬
ing- Their topics comprised six very
technical considerations, Including such
things as “Sills and laccoliths illus¬
trating petrogenisis.” as elaborated up¬
on by R. A. Daly, of Cambridge, U. S.
A-, "Fractional crystallization .the prime
factor in the differentiation ’ of rock
magmas,” by Alfred Harker, of Cam¬
bridge, England: “Some examples of
magmatic differentiation and their
bearing upon the problem of petro-
graphical provinces,” “The Volcanic
Cycles of Sardinia,” by Henry S. Wash¬
ington, of Washington, U.S.A.; A
classification of the eruptive rocks of
Italy, by Venturnio Sabatini, of Rome,
and another paper upon magmatic
differentiation, namely the inherent
constitution of the parent rock forma¬
tions. Mr. Hobbs concentrated upon
that phase of the subject bearing up-t
on “variations in the composition of
pelatic sediments, in relation to mag¬
matic differentiation-”

Enthusiasm in the Work.

So far, so good. This is a geological
congress, and such subjects have to be
discussed by somebody. This congress
has undertaken to discuss them, and to
■all appearances is going ahead with
the task, with cheerful and indus¬
trious enthusiasm.

Section 2 does not meet to-day, its
members being absorbed in the various
commissions.

Section 3 devoted itself to glaciers
with six papers on their program for
this afternoon’s work. The first was
•contributed by Mr. G. W. Lamplugh,
St. Albans, England, upon the "Inter¬
glacial problem in the British Islands.”

A. P. Coleman of Toronto, discussed
the "postglacial and interglacial time
in North America.”

N. O. Holst, Jemshogstoy, Sweden,
considered the commencement and the
end of the glacial period; Mr. Warren
Upham, St. Paul, considered the San¬
gamon interglacial stage in Minnesota,
and westward; Mr. W. Wolff of Berlin,
Germany, talked about the "glacial and
interglacial deposits of Norddeutsch-
land” (North Germany), while William
C. Alden went into the matter of the
“Early Pleistocene glaciation in the
Rocky Mountains of Glacier National
Park, Montana.

Out-of-town Trips.

Two excursions took parties of the
Icongressional delegates out of town—•
one to Hamilton and Grimsby, to ex¬
amine the famous “Mountain” and pro¬
nounce upon its genuiness, and the oth¬
er to Madoe, to look at important
areas of the pre-Cambrian rocks, and
to visit the Henderson talc mine and
mill, and the pyrite mine of the Can¬
adian sulphur ore company. Certain
»veins of fluorite near the town will
also be looked into.

So

Says Mine-Owner Holman,
Who Assuredly Should
Know.

HAS MOLYBDENITE

Hon. C. Vey Holman, L.L.N., official
delegate from Maine, and formerly
State geologist of Maine, lecturer on
mining law in the law school of Bos¬
ton University, is one of the 500 in¬
teresting types in this parliament of
the world's rock and miseral ex¬
perts. Mr. Holman has his wife along
and she is a geologist and mining
“man,” too. She has taken hold of the
Holman properties in Alaska and else¬
where, and looked after her husband’s
work and interests just as if mining
and geology was her proper sphere,
and she was her husband’s partner in
business as well as at the breakfast
table.

Mr. Holman is the owner of the
Holman molybdenite mine in Maine.
This material is one of the world’s

rarest metals. It is found in Canada
and in Maine.

Mr. Holman owns a mile of mining
ground just north of the famous
Alaska Treadwell Mine—the greatest
producing gold mine under Individual
management In the world, situated on
Douglas Island, Alaska. He is an
owner, also, of anthracite coal mines
in Pennsylvania; also Is he manager
and part-owner of the Caribou gold
mines of Nova Scotia, his corporation
controlling the producing gold mines
of the Caribou district of Nova Scotia.
Consequently Mr. Holman naturally
values the services of his geological
help-meet, for he is a geologist, a
manager, and a mine-owner all in
one.

“What makes anthracite so dear?”
The Star asked Mr. Holman, remind¬
ing him of the sad announcement that
the price was to go up fifty cents a
ton on September 1. “Is it because
anthracite is becoming so scarce as to j
scon constitute a mere luxury?”

“There is plenty of anthracite yet,
comparatively speaking,” replied Mr.
Holman. “The high price is due to

monopolistic control, which is a
crime.”

As Mr. Holman confesses to owning
anthracite mines himself, this state¬
ment may be regarded as detachedly
frank.

science for part payment of his ser¬
vices, we must recognize, on the other
hand, that all scientific work under
Governmental auspices must look to
practical results. The casual observer
of the working geologist, however,
may fail to appreciate that even such
branches of the science as the collec¬
tion and study of fossils are alto¬
gether utilitarian in the results they
yield. This is illustrated in our own
work, by the dependence of the geo¬
logist, in collecting data for Govern¬
ment coal lands, on the palaeontolo¬
gist, to whom he must look for the
exact correlation of the coal-beds in
different parts of the fields under ex¬

Largest in World,

The United States Geological Sur¬
vey is largely represented at the
present congress. There are more
than a score of delegates from Wash¬
ington, some present as delegates
from the United States Government,
and some as representing the survey
itself. The survey is the largest or¬
ganization of Its kind in the world
with a membership of about nine
hundred. The area covered comprises
the whole country, including Alaska
and Hawaii. The appropriation from
the federal Administration is a million
and a half dollars a year, to which
must be added something like an¬
other quarter of a million from vari¬
ous States.

“This bureau,” said Dr. Otis Smith,
“has been in existence for thirty-four
years, and I am its fourth director.
But It is only in the last seven years
that we have taken up the problem of
the classification of public lands,
though this was, in fact, the main ob¬
ject of its Institution. But there was
a great deal of pioneer work to be
done, in the way of building up the
organization and obtaining a knowledge
of the geology of the country. Of
late years the survey may be said to
have paid dividends on the work of
earlier years.

Chooses Practical Men.

“It is significant of the spirit of the
organization that every important ad¬
ministrative position is filled by a
practical field man who has worked
up from the ranks. We have three
large field branches for ( 1 ) geology,
(2) topography, (3) water resources, to
which should be added the land classi¬
fication board which handles field
data. Except in the extreme Southern
States the field season lasts for only
the five summer months. Just now
we have some two hundred in the
field.

"As showing the public interest in
the work, I may mention that the sales
of our topographic maps far exceed
half a million copies. This, with other
distributions, gives a total circulation
of a million and a quarter to the pub¬
lication survey. And this, with the
exception of the distribution designated
‘librarides,’ is all in response to re¬
quests from the public.”

■

And It Made Geological Address
Very Hard Indeed to
Follow.

STUDY OF THREE JAPS

They Listen Seriously, Very
Earnestly, With Note
Books Open.

Interesting it is to watch the intent
brown faces of the three Japanese
delegates. These blue-suited little
•gentlemen with the gold-rimmed spec¬
tacles. and the close-cropped, virile
black hair, look very much alike. They,
too, are types—types of the serious-
minded and awakened Japan.

Mr. S. Kozu is a Japanese from Tokio,
Japan. Also he is an American cos¬
mopolitan from Washington, U.S.A.,
ana elsewhere. Not so long ago he
was lecturer upon petrography, or the
science of rocks, at the Imperial Uni¬
versity at Tokio, Japan. Since then
he has traveled, a.nd studies now in
the geophysical laboratory of the Car¬
negie Institute.

South Manchurian Engineer.

His friend and confrere, Dr. Kido, is
the one-time mining engineer of the
South Manchurian Railway. He left
Japan one year ago to make a stud¬
ious trip around the world. He studies
coal fields. He arrived here from the
East, having been in Europe last.

Mr. T. Hlkl is assistant professor of
geology at the Imperial University of

Kyoto. Japan. He, too, arrived at this
congress from the East side of the
world by way of Europe. He has been
studying up-to-dateness in several of
the world’s foremost laboratories, in
Germany. Austria, England, and other
lands.

The three little brown men with the
stiff hair and the black moustaches
stare- grively through their gold-rim¬
med spectacles at the speakers on the
platfoim—very grave, very oil * it,
very studious, note books are neld In
their laps.

Understand English-

“lo you understand English vdl
asked The Star.

"Pi etty well,” replied Mr. Kozu. “But.
I read and speak it better than I lis¬
ten to it. You see our teachers of
English in Japan are not Englishmen
as a rule, they are Japanese- It is
difficult for me to get the accent. And
when others speak, if they have a
marked accent, it is very difficult.
That gentleman who spoke last, he
was difficult. He spoke English with
the Russian accent—did he not?”

“Scotch,” corrected The Star.

“Oh, Scotch!” exclaimed Mr. Kozu.
He shook his head gravely.

“The Scotch makes English very
hard, don’t he?” Mr- Kozu inquired
sadly.

Dr. Aubrey Strahan Says Little
Profit in Specu¬
lation.

NOBODY NOW THINKS
4004 B.C. THE DATE

Greatest of British Geologists
Describes Work of British
Geological Survey.

Dr. Aubrey Strahan, Assistant Di¬
rector of the British Geological Sur¬
vey, is one of the most conspicuous
figures at the Congress, in fact
several of the other delegates express¬
ed the opinion to The Star that he is
the most eminent geologist in attend¬
ance. Educated at Eton and Cam¬
bridge, Dr. Strahan is the author of
several geological memoirs, dealing, in
particular, with various parts of
Wales.

Asked by The Star as to what geo¬
logy had to teach witb regard to the
creation of the world, Dr. Strahan
scarcely thought that there was much
profit in discussing a subject so
speculative.

"Hardly anybody,” he 6aid, "be¬
lieves to-day—as they did forty years
or so ago—that the account of the
creation given in Genesis is to be in¬
terpreted literally. We have many
clergymen interested in our geological
work, and they find no hindrance in
this. One does not now, as formerly,
hear it asserted that the world was
created In 4004 B.C. Various dates
have been assigned as that of the crea¬
tion, varying from ten million to a
hundred million years ago. It must all
be a matter of speculation. And by
the expressed ‘creation’ different
people seem to mean different things,
most people probably understanding
by it the time when there first was
life.”

Start of British Work.

Dr. Strahan then went on to give
some account of the British work in
geology.

“Our geological survey,” he said,
“was started by De La Reche. And Sir
William Logan, who was, of course,
a Canadian, was one of our earliest
members. Logan had been engaged in
South Wales, making a geological
survey of the great coal fields there.
He showed his maps at the meeting
of the British Association at York,
in the forties, and there met De La
Beehe, who explained that he had just
started a national survey. This con¬
versation resulted in Logan handing
over all his maps to the national sur¬
vey, and himself becoming a member
of the staff. I have all his notes now
just aa he left them.

“This ^survey at first included the
whole United Kingdom, and the work
consisted primarily in making a geo¬
logical survey of it on the scale of one
lijfh t° a mile and on the topographic-
* = - -. series’ map.

About twenty years later the six-inch
ordnance maps became available, and
were used by geological surveyors for
observation in the field. These are
new used exclusively, and the work
reduced for publication to the ‘new
series' one-inch map. About ten
years ago the Irish branch was plac¬
ed under the Irish Board of Agricul¬
ture. but the Scottish and English
surveys remain under the Board of
Education.

How Work is Done.

“The English staff consists of three
field units, each under a district geo¬
logist, and these units work in dis¬
tricts which are determined before¬
hand. Each sheet of the one-inch map
is published as soon after the survey¬
ings as practicable, and is accom¬
panied by an explanatory memo. In
Scotland a similar organization exists,
but. in two units. The ‘old series'
one-inch maps are all hand-colored,
but are being replaced by the ‘new
series' maps, which are all color-
printed. Manuscript maps of districts
where no mining is in progress are
deposited at headquarters for reference,
and maps of districts where mining is
in progress are published. In addi¬
tion to the sheet memos of which I
have spoken, we publish general
memos dealing with wa.ter supply, re¬
cords of deep borings made in search
of coal, and geological formations
such as the Jurassic rocks of Britain.

"Our survey has attached to it a
museum of practical geology, in which
exhibited fossils stratigraphjically
arranged, and therefore not duplicat¬
ing the functions of the geological de¬
partment of the British Museum,
where the arrangement is zoological. ,
As I happen also to be president of
the Geological Society of London, I
can speak with knowledge of the in¬
terest taken in our work by non-pro¬
fessional geologists, men who take up
the work as a hobby. An eminent
Canadian geologist was lamenting to
me the oflier day that in this country
interest in geological work is confined
to professional geologists.”

NEXT MEETING OF CONGRESS
IN SPAIN OR BELGIUM

Though Argentine Republic Would
Like to Have
It.

The Argentine Republic has asked
that the Geological Congress meet at
Buenos Ayres, if not at the next ses¬
sion, three years from now, at an early
date. Spain and Belgium have also
issued invitations to the congress. Dr.
Adams, the president, favors either
Spain or Belgium- Six years ago the
delegates met in Mexico. This year
Canada has the congress, which meets
every three years. Delegates feel that
Europe has the next turn. The ex¬
pense to the Europeans, -who form a
very considerable proportion of the
membership, is very heavy when the
congress is held on another continent.
Argentine will have to wait. Dr.
Adams mentioned that the invitation
had been received from the Republic
at this morning’s session at the con¬
clusion of a paper upon the folding of
the Andes mountains in Argentine.
The requests of Spain and Belgium
have not yet been announced to the
congress.

Learned Scientist Delivered a "Popu¬
lar” Lecture Last Night — Tribute
Paid to German Geologists.

Tempted thither by the attractive
announcement that a “popular lecture”
on the Geological Map of the World
would be given by Mr. Emmanuel de
Margerie last night, many citizens of
Toronto paid a visit to Convocation
Hall. What they saw and heard was
scarcely for lay eyes and ears, and
the word “popular,” apparently, was
meant only to appeal to members of
the International Geological Congress
the “popularity” of the subject could
no doubt be explained by the fact that
as those attending the congress, being
geological scientists, are necessarily
interested in a survey of the whole
world.

SPOKE IN ENGLISH.

The lecturer, who is Ancien Presi¬
dent de la Societe Geologique de
Prance, spoke in English. He reviewed
In detail the principal geological maps
in common use, pointing out their
merits and defects. In his opinion the
best map in existence Is the geologl-
I cal map of North America, prepared
under the direction of Mr. Bayley
Willis, Director of Geological Survey
for the United States. This map,
which covers the United States and
Canada, is prepared on a five-millionth
scale. He suggested that In order to
obtain the best possible map of the
world, the map of North America
should be imitated and a complete map
secured by a co-operative system.
South America, he said, could be sur¬
veyed by Germany, Asia by Great Bri-
1 tain, and Russia, Africa by Prance,
and Australia by Australians. By this
method the entire world would be cov¬
ered and a uniform map obtained.

TAXED THE LAYMEN.

The lecture was of great interest to
scientific men. The 1 to To,000 map
| of Europe, was pointed to as a model
map, and the difficulties of a scale re¬
duction were regarded as commercial
other than / scientific. The scale of
1 to 1,000,000 was becoming the stand¬
ard geological scale the world over.
The lecturer paid tribute to the Ger¬
man geologists for their valuable con¬
tributions in South America.

TO HAVE ’VARSITY LL.D’S.

At a special Convocation on Thurs¬
day the Senate of Toronto University
will confer the degree of LL.D. on
Aubrey Strachan, of the geological sur¬
vey of England and Wales; P. M. Ter-
rnier, of Prance; Thomas C. Chamber-
lain, of Chicago University; Prof.

H WELL REPRESENTED
AT GEOLOGICAL CONGRESS

The Opening Proceedings in Toronto;
Mexican Situation and the
Price of Siiver

Mrs. Frank D. Adams, wife of the
gresident of the Congress.

(From Nugget Representative.)

TORONTO, August 6. — The
North was very well represented on
the platform at the opening of the
International Geological Congress in
I Convocation Hslll, yesterday, when
the slight graceful figure of Sir
| Charles Fitzpatrick rose to open
I proceedings. It is true that Mr. A.
A. Cole, mining engineer for the T.

N. O. railway, was the only actual
resident from the North Country,
but there were many whose names
the North has made famous. There

was J. L. Englehart, chairman of T.
& N. O. Comlmission, one tier below
Major Leonard, whom the Coniagas
has made a millionaire, and who has
promised to have Transcontinental
trains running through Cobalt by
December, and there was Dr. Miller,
kno.wn ifar and wide as the god¬
father of Cobalt. The Hon. W. H.
Hearst, who welcomed the delegates
on behalf of the Province of Ontario,
may also be claimed as from the
great hinterland of the North.

The speeches were for the most part
in French, that being the official
language o^.^he‘ , <j6ngreKR. Sir ChasH

Fitzpatrick gracefully referred to it
as ‘‘le dotix parlance de France,”
which the wisdom and liberality of
the government had tl.lowed thou¬
sands of tellow subjects to do honor
to the name of their sovereign in
their native language.

It is eminently an assembly of
savants. They sat wearing their
various ribbons and labelled with
their nqme , and number, listening
with the greatest interest to the
various papers on the magnus opus
of the Congress, 11 ‘the Coal Resources
1 °f the 1 World,” thin afternoon. The
work comprises papers from every
country in the world, and it is all
original matter so that its value is
is manifest.

Today has for the most part been
one of preparation. The last excur¬
sions came in this morning and
last night from Kingston, Niagara;
and Montreal, and the secretary and
his 0 assistants have been overtaxed
supplying them with their badges,
putting them in touch with fellow
countrymen, and seeing that they
obtained their right locations.

SILVER AND MEXICO.

Mr. Bedford McNeill, who has as
good a right as any man to discuss
the silver question as it might be
affected by the anarchy in Mexico, is
not much concerned at present. A1-:
though his own mine in that troubled!
country, is at present shut down, he I
believes that the condition of affairs
in Mexico has been rendered much
worse in the despatches than it
really is. ‘‘But if, it is not so,” hej
said, ‘''and the disturbances continue,
nothing can prevent the price of sil¬
ver going up. The tremendous stocks!
held by the Indian speculators will;
support the market for sarnie time,
but it could not do so indefinitely.”

All of which is very interesting to
Cobalt operators, to whom a cent
rise or fall in the price of silver,
means millions of dollars in the'
course of a year.

Tonight a French scientist is giv¬
ing a paper on the geogical map of
the world, arid this afternoon the
ladies’ committee saw that the Eur¬
opean tradition of high tea, which
has been well maintained so far,
shoif.d. not suffer in Toronto.

“ZOOLOGICAL TEAS” AT VARSITY

Newport may go in for the “tango
tea” but Toronto can give them
something, newer than that. It is
the zoological tea. They are being
held every afternoon now in the
University quadrangle. There just
about five, everywhere you look are
lions, lions, lions. But they are quite
harmless and seem as much at home
balancing their tea cups as they are
with arms laden with fossils. And in
and out among them speed some of
Toronto’s prettiest girls in the daint¬
iest of summer frocks. What matters
if the maidens cannot chatter French,
German or Swedish? Smiles are a
universal language.

Charming Mrs. Frank Adams,
the wife of the president of the
congress too is here and there
and everywhere among the many
guests who have dropped in for
a little relaxation after an afternoon
with jaw breaking words and phrases.
Every few minutes, Mrs. Adams en¬
counters a member whom she met at
the last congres in Mexico. Then
there are reminiscences and reminis¬
cences. Among those Mrs. Adams
greets is Miss Florence Bascom, geol¬
ogy professor at Bryn Mawr. But to
see Miss Bascom in her garden party
lingerie frock which only an expert
in clothes could have selected you
would never dream that she was a
lady whose greatest delight was ugly
dirty rocks.

Over in the corner little Dr. Grut-
terink, of Rotterdam, is having a chat
with Fraulein Rathgen, of Bonn. The
doctor is quite relieved to find our
thermometer has not climbed to 90,
as she felt sure it was going to in
the morning. For in Holland, declares
she, 80 is hot, hot, hot. As for 100,
she almost faints when you tell her
such a temperature is possible.

But one of the most charming things
about the Congress is the number of
wives who have accompanied their
husbands. They seem almost as in¬
terested as their spouses who have
nearly the entire alphabet after their
names. Among them we found a young
Norwegian, the wife of Mr. O. Holte-
dahl, of the University of Christiania.
A mere schoolgirl she looked in her
pale blue and white frock, with big
white hat. Both were surprised to find
Toronto so large and fine a city.

But perhaps the feminine visitor
whom most of our Toronto women will
want to meet again is Lady Mc-
Roberts. It is not her first visit to
this city, as Lady McRoberts, then
Mies Workman, attended the last meet¬
ing of the International Council of
Women, which was held in Toronto.

Lady McRoberts is one of the best
known women geologists. We had
looked and looked for her. But the
picture those words presented did not

exactly call up the slight young fair¬
haired vision in the smart cerise and
white summer gown we at last located
in a corner of the quadrangle. Lady
McRoberts is much interested in the
educational section of the Inter¬
national Council, but expressed
much delight when she heard
that Toronto now had a woman’s
•court and feminine police. Asked as
to the suffrage war in England, Lady
McRoberts smiled.

“'That is the first question we are
asked on our arrival from England,”
said her ladyship. “I believe that the
granting of the vote is nearer and
nearer. It will not come with this
present Government- It is constitution¬
ally impossible since the passing of
that bill they did of a few months
ago.

‘As for the militant methods alienat¬
ing people's sympathies,” concluded
Lady McRoberts, “I believe with many
others that the sympathy of such has
not meant much to the cause.”

Lady McRoberts is a profound ad¬
mirer of her Excellency, the Countess
of Aberdeen, who is her “next door
neighbor” in Scotland as their estates
join. As a daughter of the famous
Workmans, Lady McRoberts was born
an American, the grand-daughter of
Governor Bullock, of Massachusetts.

Earth Delved into by Scientists.

NO “ POPULAR ” LECTURES

Quite a Few of Delegates on Pleas¬
ure Trips To-day—Impression
of Congress Council in Ses¬
sion — Few Papers in
English Read This
Morning.

The Physics Building, University
grounds, drew only a small number of
the members of the 12th International
Congress of Geoligists together this
morning, when a number of papers
were read on questions raised by world¬
wide exploration.

“Many of our delegates are explor¬
ing your beautiful city. It is not only
the earth's interior which interests
members of this Congress of Geolog¬

ists,” said a merry-eyed little French¬
man, then making a bolt after two
charming young ladies.

“I don’t blame him.” said an Ameri¬
can delegate, removing a toothpick
which might have presented a more
interesting • appearance had its geo¬
logical age been known.

"THE LATEST WORD.”

During the session the following
papers were read:

"Earth Movements in Malay Archi-
pelego,’ by G A. F. Mclengraaf, Delft,
Holland.

“La Geoiogre du Maroc,” by L. E.
Gentil, Part's, France.

“Petroleum on Boudoc Peninsular,
Philippines,” by W. E. Pratt, Manila,
P.I.

“On the Old Red Sandstone Series
of Northwestern Spitzbergen,” by Olaf
Holdedahl, Christiana, Norway.

“The Forty-first Parallel Survey,
Angien-tina,” by Bailey Willis.

The earth appears to have been pro¬
viding geologists with a feast of good
things in the Malay Archipelego in
recent years.

”1 do not know—I have not seen
| that,” was the more than once refresh-
I ing confession of Professor Malengraaf,
a,s he pointed, with bamboo cane v to
points of geological interest appearing
on the maps, but about which he was
not certain. He talked in English

with comparative ease, and the earth’s
deposits assumed more intelligible
shape. Groups of hills which had held
their secrets for countless ages, had
at last had their secrets wrenched
from them by the investigating’ ubiqui¬
tous geologist

GENERAL COUNCIL.

In room 16, main building, Toronto
University, the general council of the
Geological Congress, met this morning.
There was little done of interest,
but the manner of its doing provided
entertainment.

The members of council sat at an
oval table, 25 of them, and spoke as
I occasion arose. The chairman talked
in English, a Frenchman inserted
most of the lively interjections, a Ger¬
man took exception to most things,
and a Japanese beamed silently upon
the whole, through a pair of gold-
rimmed glasses. When the German
delegate wished to catch the chair’s
optic, he put up his hand, very much
after the manner and custom of small
boys In schoolrooms. The ■ French
member of council was white-headed,
moustached, and his chin carried a
frisky-looking Napoleon, which kept
remarkable time with his chin. Bel¬
gium was represented by a vigorous-
looking gentleman, who appeared to
understand the art of tailoring as well
as the science of geology. Indeed,
most of these geologists pay tribute
to the art of dressing by looking sleek,
well-groomed and bandboxy.

MERELY DETAILS.

They talked over small affairs, did
these councilmen this morning—a

45

congress is crowded with detail which
cannot all be left to the general sec¬
retary.

“What about another ‘nopular’ lec¬
ture, such as we had last night?”
asked an English-speaking delegate.

The word “popular” brought a
smile.

“I feel we owe it to the people of
this centre,” he went on as seriouslv
as a dyspeptic judge.

A delegate had come to congress
armed with photographs of various
changes in earth formation, and was
willing to let a thirsty populace feast
upon their irresistible beauties—if
the council would fix a time and place.
Council did not.

“POPULAR?”

The laymen present who had at¬
tended last night’s “popular” lecture
on the geological map of the world
wondered whether “popular” geolog¬
ical lectures were really a sort of
humor revelled in by the scientists
who may leave Toronto without tell¬
ing us what evolutionary changes
have taken place in the earth of
North Toronto and St. Clair avenue,
to justify the jump in land v; ui rS . I
That’s the worst of being outside the
charmed circle of geological science—
you can’t tell whether the learned men
are cracking the earth or only jokes.

BELGIUM NEXT?

It has not yet been decided where
next congress will be held.

“Probably in Belgium, but I do not
say so,” said the chairman.

It seems that council must exercise
great care in choosing the next place
of meeting. If a bad choice were made
the work of these world-wide scientists
would lose much of its value to the
country visited. For instance, it would
be obviously absurd to select a tropi¬
cal country in which to discuss ice for¬
mations, as it would be equally un¬
wise to choose a cosU centre like New¬
castle for a study of silver products.
It will be seen from this how perfect-
t ly Canada lends itself to the diverse
1 studies of geology. No country in the
world offers the geological scientist so
many opportunities for investigation.
In many countries where this congress
would be welcome, their resources be-
| ing limited, congress would “specia¬
lize” sending word beforehand to all
scientific societies to study their coun¬
try’s geological products.

“ICE AGE” LECTURE THE BEST

JUST WHAT GEOLOGS. WANTED.

Corridors and Cool Spots Well Patron¬
ized by Members To-day—200 Sign
in for the Excursions.

The International Congress of Geo¬
logists is going to be a great advertise¬
ment for Canada. It would be diffi¬
cult to find a more cosmopolitan con¬
gregation than that which strolled
about the corridors and lawns of the
University this morning.

Lectures and papers were being
given in several of the classrooms, but
a large number of delegates sat about
the reading room with a strong desire
showing on their faces for relief from
the heavy humidity.

SO-SNOW-ICE IS GOOD.

“This is terrible weather,” said a
doctor from Switzerland. “ Several of
my friends from Paris and myself
were not prepared for such condi¬
tions.”

46

Prof. Thomas Surzychi, from
Sosuowice, Poland, joined the group,
and the little party sat down bv an
open window for a few minutes’ chat

These geologists are a great brother¬
hood. Prom congress to congress they
carry their acquaintances- and when
they meet again introductions do not
appear necessary.

When you are talking to them you
must not be surprised if passers-by
interrupt your conversation with nu¬
merous foreign salutations. If these
greetings could be translated into
English they would read,” Hello, Bill!
How are you?” But as they are most¬
ly in French, you must lift your hat
and make a sweeping bow, and wiggle
your arms and go through other vio¬
lent exercises to carry out the bluff
that you really understand them.

PADEREWSKI’S FRIEND.

Prof. Surzychi is deeply interested
in coal, and has come out from his
far-off native land to look into the coal
conservation of this country.

“ We know very little of Canada in
Poland,” he said, “ and other than
that it is an extensive place and a Brit¬
ish possession, we are ignorant. What
surprises me most is your ever-chang¬
ing scenery- Coming up from the sea,
we passed the most wonderful rocks,
trees, country, and flowers, and I in¬
tend to go right across and see some
more.”

This Polish professor is a great
friend of the great pianist Paderewski.
He stayed off at the musicians’ home
in Switzerland on his way to the Con¬
gress.

Nearly every member is eagerly
looking forward to the excursions next
Tuesday to Niagara Falls and to Scar-
boro Bluffs.

"It is such a pity that both come on
the same day,” said one gentleman,
“but I would rather go to Scarboro
than to the Falls. This place is much
talked of but so few of us know what
it really is.

THE RIVER OF ERIE.

It was at this stage of the conversa¬
tion that Dr. H. M. Ami, of Ottawa,
approached the group. Niagara Falls'
is a special subject of his. “I tell you
gentlemen,” he said, "the day is com¬
ing when Lake Erie will be turned
into a beautiful river with grand agri¬
cultural land on both sides. As soon
as the Falls wear their way back
through the rocks to Erie, this lake
is doomed for it will be drained just
as sure as 'we are standing here.”

COAL IN TURKEY.

There are many practical mining
men at the gathering. Hungary and
Turkey have contributed to this sec¬
tion. “There is a wonderful bed of
fine steaming coal in Turkey that is
not known in this part of the -world,”
said one of these gentlemen in broken
English and as for Hungary, some of
their mines are wonderful.

Belgium, Germany and Italy have
contributed to this mining group, but
it seems a strange matter that France
appears to have contributed the bulk
of the geologists proper.

Some person glanced over the pro¬
gramme for the day and discovered
that a lecture on the Ice Age was just
about to start. A member from Dub¬
lin turned musty silence into a prac¬
tical joke. “Let us go and see if we
can get cool” he suggested as the
group broke up.

Up to 11 o’clock some two hundred
members had signed the books as
their intention of taking in one or
more of the excursions.

American and Japanese representa¬
tives should organize exterminating
committees and proceed to settle the
national differences on the front cam¬
pus, it is doubtful whether they w«uld
be disturbed.

No scenes of strife have marred
the cosmopolitanism of the congress
as yet, however, for the delegates do
not recognize national distinctions as
affecting scientific research. The na¬
tional boundaries of the world are all
products of a few centuries, but geol¬
ogists think in aeons. Yesterday’s
program included an address by Prof.
A. P. Coleman of Toronto, dealing with
pre-glacial times in America, and a
talk on the volcanic cycles in Sar¬

mamio differentiation, introduced by
six papers, of which four were prepar¬
ed by geologists on this side of the
Atlantic.

To Explore Hamilton.

A number of the delegates took ad¬
vantage of the excursion.to Hamilton
to escape for a day from the atmos¬
phere of speeches. Still others left at
6 o'clock in the afternoon for Madoc,
where the rock formation will be ex¬
amined and noted.

“We will really not know what good
this congress has done until we get
back home and have a look at our
notes,” said a delegate yesterday.
"There is so much to see and hear
that one cannot digest a fraction of
it.”

A marquee has been erected in the
University College quadrangle and
there tea was served in the late after¬
noon. Mayor Hocken and Mrs. Hock-

Detailed Account

Of Toronto Region

“The Natural History of the To¬
ronto Region” (Briggs) is a collection
of short monographs, prepared with
special reference to the convenience
of delegates to the Internationa^ Geo¬
logical Congress, at present meeting
in the city. It is edited by James
Fault, B.A., Ph.D., otf Toronto Uni¬
versity. and includes contributions by
local scientists on a wide range of
subjects covering the fauna and flora
of the region.

While of particular value to scien¬
tists, the work should prove of in¬
terest to the general reader, at least
in Toronto, because of the many
items of information about the city
and its history. The opening chap¬
ter, which serves as an "introduction
j to the volume, entitled "Toronto; an
Historical and Descriptive Sketch,”
is written by Professor Keys. This is
I an excellent short review of the city’s
early history and development; and
combines with it a descriptive account
of the present conditions of popula¬
tion, industries, the University, and
other items. It must be confessed
that, while he blows the city’s trumpet
rather loudly, the author has not
scrupled to criticize some points which
richly deserve it, particularly the
short-sightedness which was re¬
sponsible for the loss of the lake
front, and the unfortunate judgment
displayed in the method of laying out
the streets.

The University is described with
considerable 1 detail, as far as the
scope of the article will permit,

A chapter on the Indians who for¬
merly inhabited the district shows that
these belonged to the Mississauga
tribe that formerly inhabited the re-
gion of the lake’s western end. These
people became a seventh member of
the Iroquois League and engaged in
the wars against the French. The
most progressive of all the tribes that
inhabited the region dwelt formerly
near the mouth of the Credit and some
very interesting details are given of
their customs. One item that is in¬
structive in the light of later develop¬
ments recalls that when the Indians
became indisposed they paid a visit
to the Island to recuperate, its health¬
giving properties being appreciated
even at that early date.

Professor Coleman, Ph.D., F.R.S.,
has contributed an article on the geo¬
logy of the region, of which the par¬
ticular interest to the general reader
lies in the description of the great lake
called by geologists “Lake Iroquois”
that formerly filled the great basin
made by the ridge which forms the 1
Heights at Queenston, the Hamilton
“Mountain” and the Davenport hills.
This, lake existed at the end of the
Glacial age and its eastern shore was
evidently formed of ice. The tremend¬
ous size of it can be appreciated when
it is remembered that Hamilton, To¬
ronto, St. Catharines and a score of
other places are built upon what was
formerly the bottom of this great lake
where it began to grow comparatively
shallow towards the shore. A most
interesting note on Niagara Falls de¬
scribing the process by which the falls
have receded from Queenston to their
present position, Is included in the
article, the time taken by this reces¬
sion being estimated at 39,000 years.

An article on the climate of To¬
ronto has been contributed by R. i
F. Stupart, F.Jt.S.C., director of" the
Meteorological Office, which neces¬
sarily consists chiefly of records of
average temperatures.

The last eighteen chapters are de¬
voted to the botanical and zoological
details, and consist chiefly of lists
which are not of interest to the gen¬
eral reader. There are forty-one spe¬
cies of mammals, two hundred and
ninety-two birds and eleven reptiles
recorded, and of the last-named,
among the snakes, there are none
harmful.

The volume includes several good
detail maps, one showing the County
of York and vicinity; another a road
map of Toronto and environs; and a
third an excellent map published by
the Department of Lands, Forests and
Mines, giving the geological formations
in color.

Time in North America.

ancient than those of Egypt, hut un-

The Interglacial Period.

In introducing his subject, Pro¬
fessor Coleman stated that he did not
intend to deal with the controversial
question as to whether there were,
or were not, warm periods between
the great ice ages in Great urltam,
but that he would show evidence to
prove that in North America we 'had
an interglacial period of great
warmth.

As a starting point from which t-o
establish his estimate of the time
since the glaciers disappeared from
over Toronto, the spea'Ker took up
first the question of the time required
to build up the Toronto Island. This,
he declared, has been caused by the 1 ,
gradual wearing down of the great
Scarboro Bluffs and the drift of cur¬
rents towards the west, carrying the
sediment to form the present island.
This has grown stage by stage and
is still growing, and, moreover, it has
all been formed since Lake Ontario
came into existence as a lake at about
its present level. Thus if the rate
at which the Island is being built up
car. be fixed, the age of the lake can
bo determined.

To illustrate the manner in which
the Island' has grown, a map was
shown giving the depths off the Shore

sions of the Geological Congress yes¬
terday afternoon, when Professor A.
P. Coleman, of Toronto University,
delivered a 'lecture, with his subject
“An Estimate of Postglacial and: In¬
terglacial Time in North America.
Unlike the majority of the lectures
at the congress, this Was not of the
highly technical order intelligible

The Interglacial Problem.

The interglacial problem in the
British Isles was treated of by G. W.

Lamiplugh, F.R.S., who'found It impos¬
sible from the evidence which his long
observations have given him that there
had ever been any warm periods be¬
tween the'ice ages in the British Isles, eirur-p t[J pPy] TMAWFf! HUT
and that the theory of interglacial ages imhv¥L.l» uui

which was formulated In Great Brit¬
ain, though held formerly as practi¬
cally proven, does not now agree with
the evidence. The warm temperature
theory was propounded to explain the
presence of some marine shells at high
levels in sand and gravel beds Which
were supposed to have been laid down
while this part was submerged under
the sea in a warm Interval-

While declaring that he had started; -

out with a firm belief in the theory.

Several papers dealing with differ¬
ent aspects of the interglacial periods
and in different countries, were also
heard, including one on the postglacial
and interglacial periods in Northern
Germany.

A second topic under discussion by
another section of the congress was
that of "Differentiation,” and a num¬
ber of important papers of a technical
order dealing with- various phases of
the subject of formation of rock into

the variety of classes, and the causes
for this differentiation, W’ere heard.

Next Congress in Europe.

An invitation from the Argentine
Republic to hold the next congress,
three years hence, at Buenos Ayres,
was read to the delegates, but as meet¬
ings have been held twice within the
last six years in America, the general
opinion is that Spain or Belgium,
which also have issued invitations,

Ice-belt Round Britain.

The paper upon the "Interglacial
L_f rl ? d in the British Islands,” by G.
M . Lamplugh, F.R.S. of St. Alban’s,
England, was interesting, inasmuch

tain- that the ice-sheets which cover¬
ed most of the land and filled the
neighboring shallow sea-basins were
melted out entirely during at least
one warm interglacial period and re¬
appeared at a later stage. Mr. Lamp¬
lugh had re-examined parts of York¬
shire, the Midlands and the borders of
North Wales, where it had been sup¬
posed that interglacial conditions
were represented, but without finding
any justification for the hypothesis.
The conclusion reached by the scien¬
tist was that there was no reason for
supposing that the Islands of Great
Britain had been more than once en¬
wrapped by ice-sheets, whatever the
case may have been in other coun¬
tries.

Mr. Warren Upham, D.Sc., of St.
Paul, Minn., in a paper upon the
"Sangamon Interglacial Stage in Min¬
nesota,” said that throughout the long
glacial period of growth, culmination
and decline of the North American
and European ice-sheets, the climate
responsible for this snowfall and ice
accumulation fluctuated to such an
extent that the boundaries of the
continental glaciation were alternate¬
ly extended and checked or drawn
back.

"We should have the seat of Em¬
pire in Canada and put a Governor
in the British Isles,” said Prof. Cad-
man of Birmingham, Eng., yesterday
afternoon to The Globe during a lull
in the afternoon session of the Geo-1
logical Congress. The speaker was I
full of admiration for everything that!
he had seen in the Dominion, and
was unstinted in his praises. The ex¬
tent, the resources, the virility of Can¬
adians had impressed him immense¬
ly. The professor, who is engaged
by the Admiralty as an expert in the
matter of fuels for the navy, will
leave immediately the Congress is
over for India, where he will carry
out investigations in the oil deposits.

Mr. Bedford McNeil, the Director
of the Institute ot Mining and Metal¬
lurgy, is more impressed than ever
with "the brilliance of Canadians’’
since he has returned from the Por¬
cupine and Cobalt trip. Mr. McNeil,
who is more interested in silver ana
gold than anything else (“So are we
all,” was the chorus of the little
group), is greatly impressed with the
north lands, although he could no:
imagine why the silver mines follow
the railways rather than the opposite.
It was in this little group of bright-
eyed men that some delightful geo¬
logical stories- were let looose. A pro¬
fessor was lecturing to a group of
students upon different strata, and to
illustrate he drew a number of curves
upon the blackboard, and remarked.:
“Gentlemen, if all these lines were
strata-.” A burst of laughter fol¬

lowed from the students, and it was
some time before the professor realiz¬
ed his innocent pun.

In a little village soni* of the in¬
habitants started a natural history
club and one evening a gentleman
brought in some bones and gravely
informed the gathering that he had
found them in the rear of his gar¬
den. The village idiot, Smith, got up
and remarked that the bones were
those of a donkey that had been bur¬
ied many years ago when he owned
the property. “I am very sorry that I
have disturbed the family vault of
the Smiths," was the unexpected re¬
joinder. And so it went on.

Celebrate a Wedding.

During the afternoon a surprise
was sprung upon Mr. W. R. Rogers,
who had accompanied the Cobalt-
PorcuDine-Sudbury party as guide,
by the presentation of a sil¬
ver teapot to himself and
wife, and a bouquet of roses
to Mrs. Rogers. Mr. Charles
McDermott, the Secretary of the In¬
stitute of Mining and Metallurgy,
London, made the presentation in a
delightful little speech. Mr. Mc¬
Dermott said he had been commanded
by Mrs. Tyrrell (and, of course, he
couldn't refuse, even Mr. Tyrrell, had
to obey when thus commanded) to
present the teapot to Mr. Rogers.

“I suppose that I have to do this
because I was the most useless of
the party,” said Mr. McDermott, amid
laughter. “I have much pleasure in
presenting this teapot to you; it is
supposed to be made of silver,” he
remarked amid loud laughter, "and
1 1 trust that when Mrs. Rogers and
yourself are having tea together it
i will remind you of friends scattered
| to the four corners of the earth.”

! Mrs. Rogers was presented with a
bouquet of roses, and Mr. Rogers
made an appropriate speech in re¬
ply.

Not My Lady of the Snows.

Some of the visitors did not bar¬
gain for the warm weather they have
experienced in Canada, and some of
them felt the weather yesterday very
much. An Englishman clad in rather
warm-looking clothes, carrying a rain
coat, remarked, “Bah Jove, it's warm,”
and everybody agreed with him. Dr.
Tadasu Hiki of Kioto, standing in the
corridor of the University, said that
he had been listening all the after¬
noon to the discussions and had a
headache. "But I take a tea and re¬
fresh,” said he with a smile. The
ladies were much blessed yesterday
when they brought around cold lemon
water and refreshing tea with many
little delicacies.

Last night the geologists were the
guests of the Royal Canadian Yacht
Club and were conveyed in special
launches to the Island. The visitors

That ice covered the country about
Lake Ontario 25,000 years ago, and
that the lake Itself is 8,000 years

Geological Congress.

papers read at the session on the

Prof. Coleman’s was the most interest-
mg in its reference to local condi¬
tions. He declared that between the
two great ice ages on the North
American continent, there was a long
period in which Toronto enjoyed a
climate as warm as Southern Ohio,
and that it was only long after this
period and at the end of the second
ice age that the present topography
of Lake Ontario came into being.

Toronto Island. But before the Island

Bluffs, began its existence, a great
promontory of 13,000 feet extended

Mr. Howe, in his paper, emphasized
the geological factors in land slides.
While continued blasting, earthquakes,
frost and water-saturation were im¬
mediate or external causes of land¬
slides and sinking of ground above
mines, the main causes were in the
structural and physical condition of
the rocks. If the geological condition
is satisfactory, landslides are unlike¬
ly to occur merely from external dis¬
turbances.

While the attendance at the con¬
ferences was good this morning, the
absence of a great many could be ac¬
counted for by the fact that excur¬
sions had been run to Moraines, north
of Toronto, where the party inspected
the glacial and fluvio-glacial deposits.
Another excursion known as B6, is

Geological Congress Luncheon

The ladies’ committee of the 12th
International Geological Congress were
the hosts of a, most enjoyable luncheon
yesterday. The guests were received
by Mrs. Adams, Miss F. B. Tyrell, and
Miss Coleman, at teh entrance to the
Speaker’s chambers. Luncheon was
served in the members’ diningroom
upstairs, the long tables being grace¬
fully arranged with pink Killarney
roses, and ferns in silver vases. Seat¬
ed at the table at the top of the
room were Lady Aylesworth, Mrs. A-
Meredith, Mrs. Hocken. Mrs- Strahan,
Mrs. Bedford McNeil. Mrs. Kemp, Lady
McRoberts, Mrs. Winchell, Miss Grut-
tcrink. Miss F. Bascom, Mrs. Charl¬
ton, Mrs. Ferinor, Mrs. Whitman
Cross, Mrs. F. Adams, Mrs Coleman,
Mrs. Arnoldi, Mrs. Tyrrell, Miss Freeh.
After the luncheon speeches were giv¬
en by Mrs. Adams, Mrs. Tyrrell, and
Mrs. Strahan. Mrs. Adams was wear¬
ing pearl grey silk, with real lace, and
black and cherry hat- Mrs. Tyrrell was
in royal bl.ue and white with large
hat, flower wreathed; and Mrs- Stra-
har. was wearing peacock blue silk
with lace scarf and rose toque.

After the luncheon, a group photo¬
graph was taken on the steps of the
Parliament buildings. j

Mrs. David Dunlap is giving a gar¬

S. Kozu, delegate from the Depart¬
ment of Education in the Imperial Uni¬
versity at Tokio, Japan, refused to be
drawn into any discussion of the Ja¬
panese land question in California,
through which State he passed on his
way to Washington and Montreal be¬
fore coming here.

"It is just a question of morality,’’
he said, “a question of doing or not
doing the right thing. "That is all- I
know about that.”

“What are your impressions of wha/t
you have seen of Canada?”

“Well, I notice when I am up north
with the excursion that the trees and
grasses are much like those we have
in Japan, especially the little white
birch trees. But the outcropping
rocks were so different. They were
all new to me. I was most greatly in¬
terested to learn of them.”

Studying Volcanoes.

“How long will you be away from
Japan ?”

“Three years,” with a suggestion of a
sigh, “I spend the rest of this year
in United States and then go on to
Europe. I am studying volcanic rocks,
lou see, we have many volcanoes in
Japan."

“May what you learn have any
practical bearing on practical things
in Japan?”

“Oh, no. I am interested only from
the petrological point of view.”

Cost Of Living Increasing.

“What about the cost of living in
your ctountry?” asked The Star. “We
understand that conditions are such
that your employers of labor have not
now the same’ advantage in cheap la¬
bor that they had formerly, and that
costs of production in Japan, aside
from raw material costs, are becoming
more nearly like costs in Europe and
America"

“I do not know for sure,” replied
Mr. Kozu, “but I think you are right.
The cost of living has indeed risen in
my country ever since the Japanese-
Russian war. From the time the war
ended the cost of labor has been high¬
er, and rising slowly, but steadily.
The cost of rice, and the fee for
houses has gone up. We have to pay
for more fighting men and more bat¬
tleships.” ,

“You can still produce certain lines
of goods cheaper than we can.”

“Yes. But it grows, more expen¬
sive.”

Building Battleships.

“How long has it taken your coun¬
try to Jearn to build her own battle¬
ships?”

“How long? Oh yes! Why we built
our own first battleship of steel about
—about forty years ago. Of course it

may not have been a very good one
but we have been learning. We have
now two big docks for battleships, be¬
sides a great many for commercial
ships- We build our own vessels ex¬
cept some which we have not room
ourselves to build.”

"What effect has the building of
your navy at home had upon your in¬
dustries?”

“Oh that has been a good effect- It
has perhaps made labor higher and of
course it adds to our taxes. But then
we spend the money in Japan and so
it is not really lost. The steel business
in my country has grown and, with
it have grown other related industries
owing to the spending of such large
sums on ships built in Japan.

An Educational Course.

Mr. Kozu described the educational
course through which he had passed.
He entered the compulsory State
Primary school at seven, and studied
there for six years, being taught read¬
ing, writing, geography, music, flow¬
er-work, elementary physics, and
chemistry, and physical exercises. At
thirteen he entered the usual 5-year
course in the “Middle” school. At 18
he entered the 3-year course at “High”
school. At 21 he began his four years
at the University at Tokio, and then
took 5 years more of post graduate
work- A total of 23 years at school. •

AMAZED AT ABSENCE
OF EEECfflESMELIERS

Visiting Mining Engineers Sur
prised That Dr. Haanel’s
Process Is Not Used.

CANADA LED THE WA\

Ores, Market, and Water-Powei
Here, But are Not
Developed.

“You may not use my name,” said
a certain European geologist and
practical metallurgist to The Star, "but
you may say that Swedish, German,
and French engineers and mining men
are surprised to find in Canada no
traces of electric smelting—a process
which Canada practically introduced
to the world, thanks to the researches
of certain of her scientists.

Haanel’s Experiments.

“It was a Canadian, Dr. Eugene I
Haanel, director of your Geological
Survey at Ottawa, who conducted the
experiments and made the reports
upon which tne European engineers
afterward based their electric smelting
practice. Largely owing to your Dr.
Haanel the refractory iron ore de¬
posits of Switzerland have been made
commercially valuable—just as your
refractory ores in Central Canada
would be if you had electric smelters.
Since Dr. Haanel’s report 160 electric
furnaces have been constructed and
are in operation in Switzerland. Yet
Canada, which seems in all other
things so progressive, lags behind.”

Ontario Ores Not Used.

Geologists explain that the magne¬
tite ores so far discovered in Ontario
and Quebec are for the most part so
sulphurous that they cannot be treat¬
ed successfully in the blast furnace.
Consequently the vast quantities of
iron ore which Ontario possesses lie
unused. The electric furnace is the

one and only means of treating this
sulphurous matter. In order to prove
that an elsetric furnace could be de¬
signed which would smelt the ore at
a commercially sound cost of produc¬
tion, Dr. Haanel secured an appro¬
priation from the Ontario Parliament
and carried on extensive experiments
at Sault Ste. Marie.

Ontario’s Opportunity.

“His reports on these experiments,”
said the geologist, “were eagerly read
by European scientists, with the re- :
suits above mentioned. Yet to-day,
despite the market waiting, the ore at
hand and the unbounded water power
at hand to develop the electricity,
Canada, the pioneer in electric fur¬
nace treatment of refractory ores, has
not one.”

IMPORTANT PAPERS

Member of the Executive Staff
Breaks Down From
Overwork.

The male delegates to the Ge<v
logical Congress spread into threa
centres at lunch time. One group
dines at the University residence, ny
at Annesley Hall, and one at Con¬
vocation Hall.

Proceedings take place in threa
languages, used with cheerful abandon.
A bearded gentleman, who is engaged
in research work upon the petroleum
fields of Russia, will talk learnedly
in French. A tall lean Scotshman
will ask questions in what be con¬
siders English. A geological engineer
from Chili will take up the discus¬
sion hi Cerman, and throughout it
all the three little Jap experts listen
with grave attention and take notes.
They are citizens of the world, despite
their very evident race and nativity.

“This morning’s program dealt with
new explorations,” explained General
Secretary Brock. “This afternoon’s
program is divided into two sections.
The first one deals with foreign mat¬
ter found in the Igneous magmas. This
is of great technical interest, and
of considerable economic importance,
as it deals with those phenomena
with which are associated the location
of valuable minerals. Igneous mag¬
mas are of course the once molten
rock mass comprising the original
crust of the earth. Foreign sub¬
stances found in this magmas are often
of mineralogical interest^ and of
value to the world."

Mr. P. M. Roy of the secretarial
staff came up from Montreal, but haa
not been able to report for duty. He
has been very hard at work for the
past month since the Congress has
been in Canada, and on arriving in
Toronto, took sick and broke down.

Geologist Recalls Story of Old
Continent Beyond Pillars
of Hercules.

ROMANCE OF GEOLOGY

May Explain Many Mysterious
Disappearances of Ships
on the Atlantic.

The report of a derelict on the spot
where the Titanic is judged to have
gone down interests some of the geol¬
ogists.

“It recalls the old story of Atlantis—
the legend that Pliny preserves—-a
continent upon which civilization had
developed but which was submerged
by the Atlantic Ocean. In the early
days of the semi-historical period
ruins of cities were supposed to have
been visible in the sea below the sur¬
face some distance outside the Pillars
of Hercaies.

A Geological Probability.

There is a certain substance of geo¬
logical probability in the Atlantis
fable. We know that there is a great
pi atqan in the Atlantic, raised far
above wbat appears to be the normal
bed of tbe ocean. It is possible that
Atlantis was a continent truly enough
at one period. Land has been rising
above and below sea level ever since
geological history began. . There is
nothing unreconcilable about the
Atlantis legend and science.

Tbe Mysterious Derelict.

“And now comes this report of a
stationary derelict where the Titanic
sank. The reports say that the wreck¬
age appeared as the bow of a vessel
pointing upwards, and fixed as though
moored by her cable to a rock in the
bed of the ocean. It is not impossible
that a shallow spot exists in the At¬
lantic at that place. A mountain peak
[of Atlantis which has escaped the
charts, and which has caused many a
mysterious disappearance on the At¬
lantic.

A Submerged Peak.

“It would not necessarily mean that
the rock was so near the surface that
ships would strike in passing over.
But icebergs might catch there and
hold until they melted free and drift¬
ed on south. The Titanic struck ice,
broke in two, and sank, bow up. It is
not known whether her anchors were
put out or not. But it is interesting
to speculate whether this derelict
which reports say seems to be the bow
of a ship pointing up, with a year's
growth of seaweeds clinging to it, may
not be the bow of the Titanic freed
from the engines and other gear which
sunk it, rising from the dead to the
surface of the sea by reason of its
air-tight chambers, which remained
intact, and clinging to a submerged

peak of lost Atlantis. That is imag¬
ination for you,” laughed the scien¬
tist. “Geology is not without ro¬
mance, you know.”

A Party of Geologists Off to
the Popular Summer

Resort.

THE GLACIAL SUMMER

Others to Examine Fluvio-Glacial
Deposits of North

York.

—

To-day the Geological Congress are
Indulging in week-end geological ex¬
cursions. The first one was local. At

9.30 a party of about 30 left 'on the
Metropolitan cars to visit the glacial
and fluvio-glacial deposits to the
north of the city. Eain could not
dampen the ardor of a single leading
geologist “Rain or shine” is the ex¬
cursion motto of the congress. When
the strenuous open-air life of a
prospecting geologist in the uncivil¬
ized places of the earth is consider¬
ed, it would be surprising indeed in a
summer shower should keep their
congress under cover, when an excur¬
sion to see such interesting geological
phenomena as the glacial clay, and
boulders of Muddy York and its en¬
virons is planned. Some of these
men have come all the way round the
world to take part in this program.
Rain will not stop them now.

Off to Muskoka.

At 11.50 to-night about 60 ladies and
gentlemen of Europe, Asia, Africa,
Oceania, and North and South Am¬
erica go aboard the Muskoka Night
Express ,and retire into the luxurious
Pullman berths. At C.16 to-morrow
morning they may wake up and look
out at Muskoka Wharf and the lum¬
ber piles. Leaving by steamer at "
o’clock Sunday morning the party
breakfasts on board and goes sailing
up the famous Muskoka Lakes, tc
which tourists come from afar every
summer. Muskoka is now at the very
height of its season, and the geologists
will see the way we live in Canada in
holiday time, under the best auspices.
The day will be spent cruising through
Lakes Rosseau and Joseph. The party
may catch the train for Toronto at)
1.30, getting back at 13-60 p.m. Sunday
night, or stay over and come home
Monday.

Discussing Fossils.

The business program of the con¬
gress to-day began at 9 a~m. with the
usual council meeting. The general!
meeting opened at 10 o’clock in the
Physics Building, the topic of discus¬
sion for the morning being “The
Physical and Faunal Characteristics
of the Palaeozoic Seas, with reference
to the value of the recurrence of seas
in establishing geological systems.”
The idea of this discussion was to
determine more clearly how to recog¬
nize different layers in the world s
rock by' the fossils found between.
This subject is being continued this
afternobn in the Thermo-dynamics

K garden party invitation is ex¬
tended to the Congress by Mrs. David
A Dunlap at 93 Plighlands avenue,
Rosedale, for 4 o’clock this afternoon.

The Glacial Summer.

That there was a period of warm
■weather during the glacial period was
the text of several of the papers read
before the Geological Congress yes¬
terday afternoon. The “Sangamon”

The geologists had an inte resting time assembling their bagg age at the University buildings.

period is the term applied to this
warm inter-glacial season by geologi¬
cal students of the Middle Western
States, where the traces of the begin¬
ning and the end of the interglacial
summer are well marked. The States
of Nebraska and Minnesota, Kansas,
and Illinois, were mentioned particu¬
larly as showing moraines, where
the glacial drifts had advanced and
receded. The period of the first gla¬
ciers was set at 240,000 years ago, and
of the last at from 40,000 to 25,000
years ago. This Sangamon period of
the Middle 'West was said to apply
very probably to the district about
Toronto and Lake Ontario.

logical departments of foreign Govern¬
ments, and have been ap'pointed as re-,
presentatives of their adopted coun¬
tries to the present Geological Congress
in this country of their nativity, suen
cases are not many, but they are none
| the less interesting.

Sir Thomas a Canadian.

Sir Thomas Holland, delegate of the
Manchester Literary and Philosophical
Society, is a Canadian. Sir Thomas,

though bom in this country", was edu¬

An Almonte Delegate.

Dr. Bell is a name familiar to On¬
tario surveyors. He made the early
maps of the New Ontario rivens and
canoe routes for the Dominion Govern¬
ment. They have been the basis of the
exploration work oarried on since by
the Provincial Survey branch. His
nephew, Dr. James M. Beil, is the dele¬

there.

George N. Morang is a Canadian,
but he represents the Government of
Guatemala at this congress.

H. Hickson, of Mexico, who sent a
paper of technical interest for presen¬
tation to the congtress, is another
member who is known in Canada. He
is not Canadian-born, but he was
engaged as metallugist for some years
by the Canadian Copper Company at
Copper Ciiff, near Sudbury.

Their Knowledge Is of Rocks, Not Human Nature, and Their
Greatest Problems are Bewildering to the Lay Mind.

The layman, the man who knows
nothing about geology, finds himself
in a strange world when he ventures
among the restless crowd of geolo¬
gists. Their interests are different, of
course. Their language is different —
even that of the English-speaking, and
their ways of regarding life and the
world are different. They are not
purely academic; there is a tinge of
the engineer’s intense practicality
about them. They are not merely
( techical. They are human qnough for
jokes and friendships, but they live in
a world apart, like a brotherhood of
old priests; they have their sacred in¬
terests.

In fact this geology seems to be
more or less of a religion. Men make
sacrifices for it, and spend their ives
in its service. They have a literature
of heroes—of whom the laymaa has
never heard, and never will hear, per¬
haps. Their God is knowledge, and
they serve him with hammer and tome
and knapsack—and life.

Ignorant of Human Nature.

One is especially impressed with the
simplicity of most of these men in re¬
gard to ordinary affairs of life. They
understand rocks, but are fairly ig
norant of human nature. They could
expose a fake mining proposition—if
they saw the property—but you could
very likely sell them stock in a fake
patent medicine scheme. They are
intensely knowing in their own spe¬
cialty, but beyond that they are as
little children. Even another branch
of their own profession does not al¬
ways interest them. The specialist on
precious metals is at sea when the dis¬
cussion turns on coal or iron ore. The
economic geologist, as the mining man
is called, knows little about the more
abstract work of the profession.
Geology is seemingly so great a sub¬
ject that armies of intelligent men
could be poured into it, and each
single army absorbed in the effort to
break down some one problem out of
the thousands of problems which the
study offers.

No Bluff and Exaggeration.

The absence of bluff and exaggera¬
tion among these men is at once ap¬
parent, and in contrast with the
greater part of the business world. To
these men life is too short for fak¬
ing. for over-reaching, for “four-
flushing.” Science soon finds out the
bluffer for it is an inexorable master,
and even so small a thing as one in¬
accuracy, one token of weakness or
incompetence, is rewarded with ig¬
nominy. The men whose names have
endured in this scientific world must
Indeed be men. They get credit only
for the irreducible minimum they
have produced. Their’s is no false halo.

Professor Kraus.

“kook here,” said a Canadian geo¬
logist to a reporter, “there’s a man
you ought to write about—Kraus over
there, Professor of Mineralogy in the
Michigan State University at Ann Ar¬
bor. He’s one of the ablest mineral¬
ogists in the world.”

“What has he done?”

“Done? He has produced a great
deal of original work.” *

“Rut what kind of original work?
What was there about it that makes
him so remarkable a man?”

“Ach!”—there is German in this
certain Canadian—“Do you not under¬
stand! Research! Experiments! Ob¬
servations!”

“But what has he proven or dis-
proven? How has he added to the sum
of useful knowledge in the world?”

“How can we tell it is useful yet?
He is a great worker no less.”

"But for example, can you explain
to the layman any one thing that
Professor Kraus has done—that I can
put in words?”

A Mystifying Subject.

“Well—let me see. He is to-day
working on a very big subject—a
great thing. He is studying the
change of the angles of crystals un¬
der the influence of heat.”

“The—”

“The change of the angles of crys¬
tals under the influence of heat—you
see—the behaviour of the—”

The reporter wrote the words care¬
fully.

“And what application might that
have to everyday life?”

"None.”

“But—”

"No. None. Tou see, the informa¬
tion he secures may never be of any
use, but then again it may. We can’t
exactly tell at present, and at all events
it is a big question that must be clear¬
ed up so he—Kraus—is doing it.”

Later The Star met Prof. Kraus.

“Would you speak about your work?"
asked the reporter.

“I think not, thank you,” with just!
a tinge of coldness.

"What can we say that it is?”

“Oh—if you must say anything—
just say it is the behaviour of the
optical properties of crystals under
• temperature-”

“Dot’s it!” chimed in the German-
Canadian geologist “But get it right:
It is the—”

What can a layman do but marvel?

An Authority on Ores.

Professor Krusch, of the University j
of Berlin, is the author, in connection I
with Vogt and Beischlag, of a work on
ore deposits which is said to be the
ablest ever written. • “What use is
that?” asks the lay mind. Just this
much. This work describes most of
the great ore deposits in the world
and the associated rocks. This know¬
ledge would never in the world be of
use to a layman because he would not
know one kind of rock from another,
but it tells the mining man that when
he sees certain rocks in certain con¬
ditions he may find certain kinds of
ore in that region.

Professor Krusch has also written a
work on “The E-valuation of Ore De¬
posits,” that means, where a body of
ore has been discovered, the e-valua-
tor can form some idea of its depth
and extent underground by reading the
signs of the rock formation and by the
use of scientific instruments for the
purpose. Prof. Krusch is a pleasant-
spoken man of forty or thereabout.
He speaks English fluently—but re¬
fuses to be quoted.

Work Their Recreation.

“What sport, what recreation, have
any of these men?” asked The Star of
‘one geologist

“None. Their slport and recreation is
their work. They have no hobbies but
.their study. Some, of course, are ex-

essor Dahlblom of Falun, Swed¬
en, has specialized to some extent on a
curious little instrument called yhe
magnetometer. He has designed a
pocket magnetometer, which mining
men say is of great service.

This complicated thought apparently
simple device is used to determine the
depth below the surface of ore bodies.
That is to say: suppose there are
.showing of magnetite ore in one
•field and other showings half a mile
away . Without this instrument or ex¬
cavations, no one can even guess
whether the earth between the two out¬
croppings conceals a solid body of
ore, or how deep through such a body
might be. But the magnetometer re¬
sponds to the magnetic influence of the
ore in a corresponding degree to the
depth of the ore. The greater the
depth, the greater the magnetic influ¬
ence. The instrument betrays iron
under a ploughed field and shows en¬
gineers which way new ore bodies lie.
It requires skitled men to use it, and
make the calculations.

>plorers, but that is work, not play.

They are nothing but geologists. They j
are constant servants of their science." !

GEOLOGY SWAMPS LAYMEN

GLACIERS ARE SO REPOSEFUL.

Easy Course In Evolution is Provided

for Beginners in the New Museum—

Among the Broadbrows.

You can get all the members of the
Geological Congress in the meetings
for part of the time, and part of them
for all the time, but unless they were
asleep you certainly couldn’t get all
of them for all the time. There were
three fallen badly from geological
grace this morning, and they sat in
the second row from the back and
looked at picture post cards while the
enthusiastic French lecturer waved his
wand to and fro over the map. The
map looked like three very long lay¬
ers of raspberry pie with cream on
top. As the lecturer evidently could
speak French, German and English he
had an accent so opaque that every
once in a while you would make a bet
with yourself as to which of the three
he really was using.

THEY REALLY LIKE IT.

Our respect for the magnitude of the
human brain has dwindled at times,
but never again. Rows and rows of
men sat silently in the Physics build¬
ing this morning and understood all
the man with the pointer said to them.
They must have understood, because
at one point when he closed the book
from which he had been reading, they
applauded vehemently. The things on
the map evidently represented the
sheets with which the earth is covered.
He mentioned the word sheet as much
as eleven times and each time pointed
to a different spot on the pie. He spoke
of sediments and bases of limestone
and strata, but he read most of it very
rapidly, so the laity had a very poor
show and counted the number of bald
men in the front row and wondered
amazedly at the size of the heads of
some of these scientists. Now and
again the silence was broken by some
one suddenly remembering a man he
was to meet in Building 25 at this
time precisely. He would rise hurrie-
ly and tiptoe out with the anxious ex¬
pression of one who had just been
having the time of his life and hated
like sin to go out, but he couldn't keep
the other fellow' waiting.

After listening for some twenty min¬
utes, we heard him say “Now we come
to the Glacial Period, 10,001 B. C.” We
were getting on, of course, but in the
interests of our job we thought it
wiser to leave and call bank some time
later to see how things were coming
along. It makes one feel fearfully old
somehow', but then outside in the
campus W'ere little blades of young
green grass still coming up and not
yet turned to stone.

DON’T LIKE TO TALK MUCH.

They are a most modest and intent
aggregation of men, these deep fore¬
headed geologists. They won’t talk
unless they have something to say, and
they don’t want to waste the things
they have to say on people who would¬
n’t know a Stromatoporoid from a
piece of 1913 paving stone. We took
our lives in our hands and stopped a
gigantic German scientist who was
coming full steam ahead over the
campus in the direction of the lecture.
He was the real thing in brain power.
His head was mighty and looked as if
it could learn and learn forever with¬
out ever getting a headache. We knew'
he was beading straight for the front
row' never to leave it until the last
pearl of wisdom had fallen.

"Have you met the Turkish visitor
•who is expected?” w-e quavered.

"No I have not.”

Interval of embarrassed silence.

“This is your first visit to Canada
is it not?”

"Jah, it is.”

"I suppose you haven’t formed any
extensive impressions of it yet?”

“It is w'arm.”

“Are you joining any of the excur,..
Eions after the Congress?”

“I’m going to Alaska.”

"Well, there are lots of volcanoes
up there. There’s a new one just
opened up business recently we hear—

“Jah. I thank you. Good morn¬
ing,” and the big professor was gone.

SHORT COURSE IN EVOLUTION.

The best place to catch them is on
the top floor of the new museum on
Bloor street. Here you have them
in their own atmospheric setting and
they blossom forth cordially. It is
much easier to follow than a lecture
too, for the average intellect. You
go out to the furthest end of the east
gallery and see little black specks on
white cards and you are off on your
journey of evolution. These little pin
points of soot are Orbulina Universala,
but w'e aren’t just sure if they’re the
first of man there was or not. You
can see the pin heads blossom out
into stones with wrinkles on top.
Then the stones have holes in and
way up towards the end they have
backbones buried in them. After
that it’s a mere matter of time to
long bipeds in hobble skirts and
others in tan button oxfords.

“That thing looks like a porcupine,
doesn’t it?” we asked our guide.

“That’s a platecarpus coryphaeus,”
was the stern answer. What a mar¬
vellous thing is the English language.

NIAGARA FALLS WERE MADE

IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE.

Another Geological Solution for Their

Existence—Will be Visited by Con¬
ference Next Week.

Niagara Falls, the baby w'onder of
the North American continent, is to
be visited and studied by the geolo¬
gists during the early paft of next
w'eek.

"Is it true that the Falls are the
youngest geological wonder w'e have?”
one of these visitors was asked by The
Telegram.

"Yes,” he replied, "they date from
after the Ice Age and are probably but
ten thousand years old.” Ten or fif¬
teen thousand years in the study of
Geology is Just a Saturday afternoon
stroll; but th-e story of the formation upper lakes
of the Falls, as told by the rocks is
very interesting.

THE ICE AGE.

Many thousands of years ago a great
ice barrier left its icy, Arctic home
and swept down over this continent
as far as the present state of Ohio.

When this great wall of frozen Arctic
snow and ice*, reached what we now
know as the Great Lakes they did not
present the broad expanse that we
boast of to-day.

This great chisel of nature, however,
was to form many new water courses
and lakes, and when the glacier past
the lakes they were gouged out to tre

mendous depths and buried.

J ' ear the torrent of water has cut its

Lake Ontario was a magnificent
stretch of water, probably one of the
best in the chain of lakes. Pride goes
before a fall, however, and soon the
tremendous level of Ontario was to
fall and Erie/was to expand in all dir
ections.

NO ST. LAWRENCE THEN.

The valleys of the St. Lawrence and
the Ottawa were choked with ice and
the waters of old Lake Ontario sought
an outlet through the valley of the
Mohawk, down the Hudson River to
the sea. Scarboro’ Bluffs and Wells
Hill were beaches on the north shore
of this grand old lake while the wa¬
ters came right to the top of the Ham¬
ilton Mountain and Queenston
Heights on the south shore. Away
into the present State of New York
the water stretched and the old bar¬
rier extending east from Lewiston
marks its southern limit.

There was no Lake St. Clair and the
waters of Lake Michigan, Superior
and Huron did not gain entrance to
Lake Erie, but escaped by way Qf the
Valley of the Trent to the sea.

A limp little stream flowed down
from old Lake Erie and entered Lake
Ontario just back of the village of
Quenstoft.

Such then was the picture of these
wonderful inland seas after the ice 1

age.

GREATER CHANGES YET.

But the old earth was restless, every
now and again great mud shifts would
occur. Sometimes they would fill up
small lakes and valleys and sometimes
they would even close rivers.

Century after century of the sun's 1
rays beating down on the ice choked
St. Lawrence made an impression. Af¬
ter a time the waters of old Lake On¬
tario trickled over the ice and the
scene changed.

This little stream was the infant St.
Lawrence. Year by year it grew until
it lowered the lake level and the wa¬
ters no longer sought the sea via the
Hudson. Each year the waters fell
until the old shores of Lake Ontario
were left far inland. The little stream
from old Lake Erie increased slightly
in violence and its course may he
traced from the present Niagara whirl¬
pool. This is the course it took when
it entered Lake Ontario before the
birth of Niagara Fails.,

BIRTH OF THE FALLS.

All these changes took thousands of
years to complete. The formation of
Niagara Falls was but the twinkling of
an eye.

A great mud drift closed the Valley
of the Trent and thus cut off the old
way of escape for the waters of the
Foot by foot the levels
of these lakes increased until the pent
up water followed the course of all
pent up water. It burst through the
walls.

Down it dashed toward little Lake
Erie, forming Lake and River St. Clair
in its mad rush. There was no room
for the frenzied torrent in Lake Erie.
The water spread out over all the flat
country and kept rising. Lake Erie,
under the awful pressure, allowed the
gathering waters to rush toward the
north. Not by the old channel, how¬
ever, but by the new.

On the mad wall of water rushed
until it reached the cliff at Queens¬
ton. Here it tumbled down and
Niagara Falls was formed. Year after

the intruder back year by year. When
the Great Lakes were passed on the
northward journey these vast pits were
left filled with masses of ice.

Poor Lake Erie was not dealt kind¬
ly with in this lake manufacture for
it was left a puny little pond that did
not extend much further eastward
than the present city of Buffalo.

cnannei oaca from Queenston until
the present location has been reached
and the geologists tell us that two
thousand^ more years will be consum¬
ed ere the Falls reach Lake Erie.

This is hut one of the many interest¬
ing stories carried about by the Geolo¬
gists. They are not all musty old scien¬
tists as many persons suppose.

GEOLOGISTS AMONG THE ICE

AMERICA IS VERY OLD.

Ice Left This Part of Continent 25,000

Years Ago—Got a Little Left—Social

Side of Congress.

“Full steam ahead!” appeared to
be the slogan at the Geological Con¬
gress yesterday, and a mountain of
work was removed, without faith-
geologists apparently believing in the
efficacy of works. The feature of the
afternoon session was a paper by Prof.
A. P. Coleman, of Toronto University,
who spoke on “An Estimate of Post¬
glacial and Inter-glacial Time in North
America.-” Toronto Island, he said,
had been formed by thef erosion of a
Scarboro promontory. It had grown
during the lifetime of Lake Ontario.

LAKE 8,000 YEARS OLD.

The wearing away of the Scarboro
cliffs is estimated at 1.62 feet per an¬
num. These figures are the result of
fifty years’ observation. As the great
promontory was composed of about
13,000 feet, the time taken to destroy
it can be figured by dividing by 1.62,
which makes the time about 8,000
years.

To check these figures the rate at
which the Island has been built up
was estimated, this being done by
noticing the amount of sand deposit¬
ed per year. Since records have been
kept within the last thirteen years,
about 22 acres have been added. As
the Island contains approximately
320,000,000 cubic yards of sand, by
dividing by the annual accumulation
it works out at about 7,600 years.

From calculations made, it is esti¬
mated that the ice left 24,000 years
ago. The basin of Lake Ontario has
been growing deeper, and the land has
been rising to the north-east. Slides
were shown of the Toronto district.

SHORE RISING.

Since the Iroquois Lake period the
north-western shore of the lake has
been gradually rising. In inter-glacial
times there was a lake at Toronto,
which must have had some dam or
other than ice at its end, and the same
rise and fall of this part is apparent,
so that the inter-glacial age is esti-
. mated at three times that of the post¬
glacial. Professor Coleman showed
illustrations of specimens of the plants
and animals obtained in the inter¬
glacial beds at the Don Valley brick¬
yards. About two-thirds of these,
chiefly leaves and shells, and all pet¬
rified, show that the flora and fauna
were approximately the same as those
to the south of Lake Erie to-day,

ICE ACCUMULATION.

In a paper on “The Sangamon Inter¬
glacial Stage in Minnesota,” Mr. War¬
ren Upham, D.Sc., of St. Paul, Minn.,
said that throughout the long glacial
period of growth, culmination and de¬
cline of the North American and Euro-
pean v ice-sheets, the climate respon¬
sible'for the snowfall and ice accumu¬
lation fluctuated to such an extent
that the boundaries of the continental
glaciation . were alternately extended
and checked or drawn back.

A “talk” on volcanic cycles in Sar¬
dinia was delivered by Henry S. Wash¬
ington, of Washington, D. C.

FOSSILS AT HAMILTON.

Yesterday’s excursions to Grimsby,
Hamilton and Madoc were well patron¬
ized by the scientists. At the two for¬
mer places the following formations
were observed: Queenston, Cataract,
Medina, Clinton, Rochester and Lock-
port strata. From Grimsby the party
proceeded to Hamilton, where they
noted the thinning out of the Roch¬
ester, Clinton and Medina strata.

Lockport and Cataract fossils were
collected. After observations ^ ere
made the Hamilton club entertained
the visitors to dinner. The Madoc ex¬
cursion provided the geologists vnth
an opportunity to study important
\ areas of pre-Cambrian rocks.

A PRESENTATION.

The social life of the Congress is
not being neglected. A marque has
been erected in University College
quadrangle, and yesterday afternoon
tea was served, Mayor Hocken and
Mrs. Hocken being present, in addition
to many members of the University
faculty. During this social event an
informal presentation was made to Mr.
W. R. Rogers, of the Bureau of Mines,
who was in charge of the Sudbury-Co- i
bait expedition, of a silver teapot,
made of Cobalt silver.

DINED IN 25 LANGUAGES.

“We had a pleasant banquet last
night" said Mr. Charles McDermid,
secretary of the Institution of Mining
and Metallurgy, of London, England,
to The Telegram this morning. Mr.
Frank Adams, president of the con-
grees gave an interna/ional dinner at
the York Club. One man from each
of twenty-five countries being invit-

ed Mr. McDermid has been in Canada
before, and as his position tnrows
him well in touch with European min¬
ing conditions he has been a great
help to some of the delegates from
inland Europe.

“It was very amusing to see the
jolt some of these men got when they
struck Canada,” he said. “Many of
them had not the slightest idea of
what the country was like, and those
that took the trouble to find out. were
in many cases supplied with unreli¬
able information.”

“How would you account for these
learned men not having some general
idea with all the attention that is
being given Canada in Europe these
days?” he was asked.

“Many of these men are so in¬
terested in their sciences that indus¬
trial and other expansion is not
thought of. I know a case where
a small party of Frenchmen here ex¬
pected to find Canada a land of forest
and snow with all the houses pali¬
saded against the Indians and game
in abundance right within reach.”

SRTss it were confined to a cooking
stove at a temperature of eighty de¬
grees: But we thought he would just
say *‘'Su£fr-agetrt>e’’ under 'his hneath the
way some of the mean men do these
'days so we forbore. It’s hard enough
to have lost the respect of the ofiice
'hoy owing to our advanced views with¬
out being found out by the public.
But to return to our apology, we have
been watching the Philadelphia papers
so as to, confront him with a full ac¬
count of the lady’s exploits. But
alas! this*.is the lady’s story:

“Feeling's just like Doctor Cook to-

With this exclamation, uttered in a
fine’ characteristic of her vigorous na¬
ture, Miss Mary M. Vaux explained to
•her friends in Bryn Mawr that she
must not be given all the credit of
having scaled Mount Robson

Arriving home yesterday noon from
her\ trip to the«Canadian Rockies, where,
it was said, that she, with a party of
explorers, had: conquered the ice-clad
mountains- Miss Vaux protested that
she hadtonJy seen the party make the

start up vthe peak. ,

tinction of' having compassed Mount

would have suited me better than to
•have undertaken tthat ascent with the
party.”

“The Bryn Mawr‘.woman, whose win¬
ter home is at 1715 Arch street, went
on to state that the week she left the
camp near Vancouver, B.C., where she
'had been enjoying a summer vacation-
a partv of six men planned to ascend
Mount Robson- Three were to go only
half-way up, carrying provisions tor
the others, who expected to claim the
honor of being the first human beings
to reach the snowy heights.

“The three men who hoped to ac¬
complish the venture were Deputy
Minister Scott of British Columbia;
Captain McCarthy and a Swiss guide.
W nat distance the party has reached.
Miss Vaux had not learned yesterday,
but the stories sent to the newspapers
by correspondents in Vancouver of the
conquest of the mountain peak, 13,0(0
feet above sea, were to her a»huge de¬
light,” she said-

No more interesting place can he
found, in Toronto just now than the
University buildings and throughout
the entire Queen's Park.. Citizens who
do not come in touch with the mem¬
bers of the Congress will miss_ one of
the most delightful opportunities of
their lives. From the grey-bearded sa¬
vants and explorers to the little red-
coated public school cadets, who are
of such valuable aid to the visitors, the
whole place is just full of thrills. And

- 1 \ 3 ,

So we left Canada's youngest soldiers.
And the dusky-haired one had a look
like the boy who has just got a bock
on Indians out of the library.

That night of August sixth was a
night of thrills for us, too. For from
nine to half past eleven we prowled
Queen's Park between University Col¬
lege and Annesley Hall, hunting down
our prey in the shape of feminine
members of the Congress. And right
here we may say that Queen's Park is
not a very appealing place for a lone
female around the magic hour of
twelve. In fact hitherto it has been
one of the few places that we prefer¬
red not to linger in. But when a news¬
paper woman feels that she’s got a
real story at the end of a trip, there
are not very many places from which
you can keep her. Is it any wonder
that so many people consider us such
hardened wretches that they do not
want to talk to us a, all at all.

We may just say that we got our
story and we got a thrill, as a sort of
reward for valor. Just as we were at
the darkest, loneliest part of the park,
and we began to feel like we did when
at the age of six they would read “Lit¬
tle Orphant Annie,” to us, we heard a
strange sound. It drew nearer. Never
had we heard a more joyous note. It
was positively unearthly. Never, even
at a Mendelssohn concert had we been
so thrilled. For a moment we thought
we 'had just awakened after dying of
fright. But then we remembered we
were a newspaper person and would
likely have been delivered at the other
place. Then we came to and looked.
We saw a man! He was an Italian
who looked as if no might belong to a
banana wagon- Across him was slung
a guitar. And how he played! Played for
the joy of the plajdng! Played like
the press agents say their stars do.
But—we just stayed rooted to the
spot. Music brought back toe tinkle
of an exquisite Sothern and Marlowe
Venetian scene. Around us the lovely
verdure of Queen's Pars in midsummer
and we became enchanted. Then re¬
membering the lady geologists and our
pay envelope we fled.

We must apologize to a certain
member of the Geological Congress for
thinking some very, very horrid things
about him. It all came about when
we asked one of the Canadian delega¬
tion what h-e thought of geology as a
profession for women. “Many of them
have distinguished themselves in it,”
said he, “particularly as teachers or
in microscopic work, hut they are at
a disadvantage when it comes to the
field work- They cannot rough it.”

We laughed at him just here and
asked what about Miss Mary M. Vaux
of Bryn Mawr, whom the paper of
two or three days ago declared had
reached the very tip of magnificent
old Mont Robson's peak. Then he
smiled, the smile people use when
they mention Dr. Cook and his north¬
ern trip. “I do not think she did it,”
said he, “in fact, I have my doubts
about the men.” At this we grew
very warm and wanted to abuse him
as a disparager of feminine effort un-

how those miniature Tommy Atkins’
are enjoying themselves! The night of
the reception, about half-past eight, we
passed two of them in the hall, stand¬
ing proudly erect like the two good
little soldiers they were. At eleven
o'clock we passed them again. They
were on one chair, the little fair-hair¬
ed fellow had his cheek almost on his
arm, and he looked as if he wished his
mother was tucking him up. The black¬
haired one’s head was up, but his eyes
were droopy.

“Tired out, how long have you been
on duty?” we asked. “Since eight this
morning,” piped a weary voice, “but
it’s going to be different tc-morrow,
they’re going to change the guard at
two.”

“Wish you were home?” asked we.
“You bet you we don’t,” said the black¬
haired one. “This is the finest fun I’ve
had listenin’ to those fellows talk. Say,
they know a heap, and they’ve been
everywhere. Across every river and up
every mountain. They’re just like living
geographers.”

GEOLOGISTS
IN CONGRESS
AT TORONTO

Learned Problems Were
Debated at Yesterday’s
Session

TORONTO, Aug. 8—The congress
settled' down to its stride to day. As
an example of the erudite nature of
the problems debated to-day’s pro¬
gram may be cited.

Section 1, Topic No. 3. “Differen¬
tiation in Igneous Magmas.’’i
Section 3, Topic No. 6. “To what
! extent was the ice age broken by
interglacial periods?”

The meetings were held in various
class' rooms of the University and
were well attended and raptly , listep-
ed to. For the most part it was the
visitors who were the best listeners,
i the Canadian men of science being
content to drop in for a few minutes
at some of the sittings and walk o.u«t
again. Many were, able to give some
assistance to Mr. Stanley Leek and
his staff. This assistance was badly
needed. The strain -has been tremen¬
dous, as the visitors were strangers
in a strange land and had to he
taken care- of accordingly, their bag¬
gage checked and their laundry sent
to the right place. All this fell on
the heads of the executive and the
local committee till they worked
twenty hours „ day and worried the
rest.

EASILY IDENTIFIED. •

The members are scattered all over
Toronto and can be easily distin¬
guished by their button with its Latin
inscription, their name, plate and
number.

The congress is being entertained as
lavishly as they themselves will per¬
mit.. The Toronto Ladies committee
iad marquees erected in the Univcr-
, iity grounds yesterday. To-day they
took possession of the Speakers
! Jhambers in the Parliament Build-
ngs and Ifendered a luncheon to their
nternational visitors there. In the
neantime automobiles drive up bef¬
ore the main building of the Univer¬
ity and whisk a.way parties to study
he rocks around Hamilton, Scar-
ioro, and sundry other places in the
vicinity of Toronto. The others go
o the lectures, for it must be-under¬
stood at once that this is- the- most
businesslike and earnest convention
hat ever assembled in this city of
inventions. They have come to ac-
luire knowledge and they are not to
,"e deterred therefrom by the hospit-
ility of the Queen City.

( Tha garden party given by Mr. and
Mrs. Dunlap on Saturday was a tre¬
mendous success, and the company of
geologists and friends stayed until
long after the time on the Invitation,
which is a proof of the party having
| been appreciated. The beautiful
grounds were looking even better than
usual from the morning’s rain, and the
lawn, terraces, etc., were like green
velvet, and the herbaceious borders

men was busy all morning removing
palms, shrubs and flowers from the
Exhibition Grounds to the municipal
buildings. All the corridors will be
banked with palms, while the Coun¬
cil Chamber will be hidden in green¬
ery. The aldermanic chairs have all
been removed from the sanctum sanc¬
torum, leaving the whole enclosure
free for the reception of the visitors
by the Mayor and Mrs. Hocken.

Two orchestras have been engaged
for the evening, while light refresh¬
ments will be served to the delegates.
The great building should really be a
very pleasing sight when Toronto does
honor to her distinguished guests.
There will be no speeches.

Scientist of Isthmian Canal
Commission Addresses
Congress.

STOPPING LANDSLIDES

Slopes Must be Graded at a
Lower Angle Than
in the Past.

Revisions of the present theories
regarding geological time was the im¬
portant subject which occupied one
large section of the Geological Con¬
gress at their Saturday sessions, and
a number of papers dealing with vari¬
ous factors on which the present time
theories are based were heard at both
morning and afternoon meetings. The
other sections of the congress dealt
with a great variety of subjects,
among the most interesting of which
was one by D. F. MacDonald, geolo¬
gist of the Isthmian Canal Commis¬
sion, dealing with the causes and re¬
medy of landslides, such as that of
the Culebra Cut at Panama, his paper
being entitled “Excavation Deforma¬
tions.’’

Mr. Charles Schuchert, of Yale
University, dealt with the limitations
of geological periods in North Am¬
erica in a particularly interesting
paper. Pointing out that there are
cycles of earth movements, invasions
by the seas, emergence of the land,
wearing down of the rocks and the
filling up of valleys with sediment, all
of which help in determining the
periods of geologic time, the speaker
declared that even with a century
and a half of contributions from the
notions, much still remains 'before an
accurate geological time-table can be
prepared.

A review of the gradual light
thrown upon the subject as theory
after theory had to be modified in
the light of increasing knowledge fol¬
lowed, and in concluding his paper
Mr. Schuchert called attention to the
importance of talcing into account
the periodic and rhythmic motions
which certain “dynamic’’ regions of
the earth's surface undergo when j
the questions of geological time is be.
ing considered. This motion he con¬
siders is at the basis of all such time
determination.

A number of other papers dealing
with related matters were heard from
Messrs. Chamberlin (U.S.A.), Freeh .
and Stelnmann (Germany), Holtedahl
(Norway), and Ulrich (U.S.A.).

The Culebra Problem.

In dealing with his subject of “Ex- ;
cavation Deformations,” Mr. MacDon- 1
aid showed that the result of excavat¬
ing on a scale such as that of the
Culebra Cut, with the substitution of

the weak atmospheric pressure for
that of the greater pressure of the
material excavated, is to cause a num¬
ber of different strains or stresses,
and not merely the angle of pull com¬
monly considered the only force to
be reckoned with in making an ex¬
cavation.

After calling attention to the two
kinds of excavations — those caused by
nature, as stream erosions, etc., and
those of man—Mr. MacDonald dealt
with the various factors leading to
deformations, such as the crushing
strength of the masses of material
above; the strength of the material
depending on the jointing, bedding
and fault conditions; the physical and
chemical character of the rock units;
the amount and character of the
ground water; and earth tremors from
factors. These in their relation to
Culebra Cut were dealt with, and as
explanation of the complicated cause
of the landslide.

In conclusion, the speaker showed
[ the necessity of grading the slopes at
I a lower angle than formerly, while
j he pointed out the danger of allow¬
ing nature to find the required angle
by means of further landslides, since
if this happened the complicated
stresses would have the result of push-
; ing up the bottom of the cut.

Landslides and Sinking.

“Landslides and the Sinking of
I Grounds Above Mines” was dealt with ;
by Mr. Ernest H-owes. of Newport,
U.S.A., who went into the geological
factors of these slides, which while
apparently due to external causes, in
reality have their origin in the struc¬
ture and physical character of the
rocks.

Papers on a number of more or
less local topics were heard at the
afternoon session of section 1, these
being grouped under the heading
“Economical and Chemical.” Of these
the more interesting were: “The Oc¬
currences of Petroleum and Natural
Gas in the Mid-continent Field,” by
Charles N. Gould, Oklahama City;
“Natural Gas In Transylvania,” by
Jules de Szadeczky, Kolosvar, Hun- |
gary; "The Geological Occurrences of
Precious Stones on the American Con¬
tinent.” by George F. Kunz; and “The
Plasticity of Rock: Crystals and the
Manner in Which They are Affected
by Temperature,” by L. Milch. Ger¬
many. The last paper, though de¬
livered in German, proved highly in¬
teresting to the audience, and was
illustrated by experiments showing
how the crystals can be bent at a low
temperature.

The attendance on Saturday was
not quite up to the usual standard,
hut this was owing to the fact that ex¬
cursions had been run to view the
moraines north of Toronto, illustrat¬
ing the glacial and fluvio-glacial
deposits.

At the close of the afternoon ses¬
sions many of the delegates were en- I
tertained at a garden party given by
Mrs. D. A. Dunlap, of Rosedale, in
their honor.

Owing to the non-arrival of the
lecturer. Mr. Cy. Warman, the illus¬
trated lecture planned for the evening
was not held. It will probably be
given some night of this week.

An excursion for recreation pur¬
poses only was run to Muskoka on
Saturday night, where many of the
delegates enjoyed a pleasant week¬
end.

AT THE GEOLOGICAL CONGRESS

INTEREST IN CANADA
DOMINA TES GEOLOGISTS

Much Concerned With Struc¬
ture and Natural Re¬
sources of Dominion

HIGHLAND PIPERS

MAKE GREAT HIT

H Very Funny Music,” Ex¬
claims Distinguished
Vienna Delegate

After all the papers have been 'riad
and discussed upon subjects wide as
.time in their purport at the Geolog-
iteal Congress, the thing that will in¬
terest Canadians most as a nation is,
W hat do these men think of Can¬
ada? What impressions will they
carry away? What, apart from the
study of geology as a science, will
they say of the resources of Can¬
ada? The man most qualified to
pass an opinion upon this subject is
probably Mr. John McLeish, B.A., of
Ottawa. Mr. McLeish, who compiles
annually the statistics bearing - upon
the mineral production of Canada and
is in the Dominion Department of
Mines, is a most unassuming man who
speaks in the subdued voice of one
who would rather think than talk. In

the lounge room of the University a
large space is devoted to the resources
of the Dominion, where one can get
any information upon any subject
that requires a hammer and pick, drill
or explosive. Mr. McLeish, when
asked as to the extent and variety of
the inquiries made at the table, said
that the members of the Congress
seemed eager to receive information
upon all the resources of Canada, and
especially as to the nickel, silver,
mica, coal and asbestos production
of the Dominion.

Interest in North Ontario.

“Since the return of the excursion
from the north a great deal of inter¬
est has been manifested by mining
engineers in the Sudbury district.
These men were tremendously im¬
pressed with the north lands, and the
Interest is growing. Another excur¬
sion leaves at the conclusion of the
Congress for the. Cobalt-Porcupine-
Sudbury trip.”

Interest in Canada, said Mr. Mc-
Leish, has been general. Maps, charts,
books and reports covering the Do¬
minion have been asked for on all
sides. The Publicity Bureau of Brit¬
ish Columbia has a lot of literature
bearing upon that Province, and it is
freely asked for. The excursions go¬
ing west will be well tilled, and one
of them will visit Cobalt on the way
back.

1 Prof. Miller’s Book.

j! A book -which came off the press
|jonly last week by Dr. Willet G. Mil¬
ler is causing much interest. This
deals with the Cobalt-nickel arsen¬
ide and silver deposits of Timiska-
ming. Another recent book is that
of “Nickel Industry," with special
reference to the Sudbury region, by
Prof. A. P. Coleman.

Some beautiful photos of the Mt.
Robson glacier in the lounge room
are attracting much attention. One
of the most remarkable is that show¬
ing the head of the falls at Rainbow
Canyoni Moose River. The formation

there is mainly quartzite and win
prove, of great interest to the excur¬
sionists. The bmperor Falls, Grand
Fork River and the Mt. Kobson gla¬
cier have been reproduced in a re¬
markable manner.

Altogether the demand for liter¬
ature is one of the most gratifying
features of the Congress, and the De¬
partment of Mines and the Provin¬
cial Bureau of Mines are to be con¬
gratulated for their display and the
benefits which are bound to result.

“Funny 3Iusic" of Pipers.

Saturday's heat was greatly felt by
the visiting geologists, and they near¬
ly all forsook the lecture rooms and
sought the shadiest and coolest places
possible. The garden party given byj
Mr. and Mrs. Dunlap of 93 High¬
lands avenue, Rosedale, was a de¬
lightful affair, inasmuch as the chief
attraction, "The Hieland Pipers,”
proved to be such a source of un¬
ceasing interest to the foreign- visitors.
The Band of the 4 8th Highlanders
was also in attendance, although it
was their kilts which seemed to prove
the greatest attraction. But the pip¬
ers, oh! The visitors seemed to be
hypnotized with them. They crowd¬
ed on the top of the terrace, from
where they could get a splendid view
of them, and gazed and gazed. “It
is very funny music," said one of the
most distinguished visitors; “always
the same,” and being from one of the
most musical cities in the world,
Vienna, his comment should carry
some weight. But the “Kilties’
funny music"! What next? To add
to the full weight of woe a vivacious
lady -came forward and asked the gen¬
tleman: “Do they remind you of the
band playing Hungarian dances?”
With a broad smile, “Oh, no no!” was
the vehement reply, “but (thank
goodness for that “but") they are
very picturesque.” Then he rubbed
it in again. “I am told that every
Scotsman glows when he hears them,”
he remarked with a shrug of his
shoulders.

Had Tlieir Picture Taken.

The Kilties had to stand up and
be photographed more than once, and
a bright-eyed Belgian, who secured a
, snap, was as pleased as if he had
found an anticline. The party was a
great success, about five hundred be¬
ing present all told. One gentleman
who sat in the quadrangle and watch¬
ed the cricket match between St.
Barnabas and Toronto got up after
the conclusion of the St. Barnabas in¬
nings and remarked; “I will never
watch another cricket match.” A
lynx-eyed German in the course of
conversation remarked that Toronto
“is a very industrious and beautiful
city.” Dr. Tchernichew of Russia,
who was present at the last Congress
at Stockholm, said that the weather
“is as warm there in the day as in
Toronto, but the nights were delight¬
fully cool.”

A Canadian Paper.

The papers read on Saturday had
among them some notable contribu-;
tions to science, but the weather kept
depleting the lecture rooms of their
inmates as the afternoon wore on.
An interesting paper was given by Mr.
M. F. Connor, chemist of the Mines
Branch, Department of Mines, on
“Some Notes on Rock Analysis.” “In
the determination of iron by the sul¬
phuretted hydrogen method,” said
Mr. Connor, “it was formerly the
method to have considerable free sul¬
phuric acid in the sulphate solution
of the iron and alumina oxides when
sulphuretted hydrogen gas was passed
through it to reduce the ferric sul¬
phate. I found it difficult to obtain
complete reduction by this method,
although every precaution was taken.
Knowing that some reduction pro¬
cesses—that is, titanium by zinc in
acid solution—are best accomplished
when the solution becomes nearly
neutral.I successfully applied the same,
principle in the reduction of iron as
follows: Excess of ammonia, was add-

59

ed to the sulphuric acid solution of
the iron and alumina oxides, and af¬
ter neutralizing with sulphuric acid
about 3 c.c. of dilute sulphuric acid
was added in excess. In this way
the iron was speedily and completely
reduced.”

Another interesting paper was given
by Dr. C. N. Gould of Oklahoma City
upon the “Occurrence of Petroleum
and Natural Gas in the Mid-Continent
Field." The capacity of gas wells of
the mid-continent field varies up to
50,000,000 cubic feet per day. A well
recently drilled to a depth of less
than 700 feet in the new field of Loco,
Stephens county, southwestern Ok¬
lahoma, is producing 25,000,000 cubic
feet of gas per day.

Hovv Geologists Spent Sunday.

“I am making what the French call
a ‘reconnaissance,’ ” said Dr. Emil
Tietze, who was walking up Tonge
street yesterday. “You see, there is
such a crowd here on week-days that
this is a splendid opportunity to find
out the places in your city.” The
I doctor is rapidly learning the layout
of the city, and when told that a cer¬
tain place was on Adelaide. street
east replied: ‘Oh, yes, I know where
Adelaide street, is.” “I see you are
getting the skyscraper habit here.”
said the doctor, looking at the C.P.R.
building and when told that there was
a limit placed upon the height of
buildings he smiled and said it was “a
good thing.”’ Quite a large number
of the geologists left for Muskoka
Saturday night to spend the week end
and many of them were to be seen
over at the Island. The University
was of necessity open yesterday and
quite a few made use of the lounge
room, having a nice easy time after
the strenuous days of the past week.

A large number went out in auto¬
mobiles sight-seeing, and many at- i
tended service, St. Michael’s Cathedral i
claiming quite a number.

Forsook His Science
for the Auld Pipes

He was a braw Heilan' mon, and
the lure of the bagpipes was upon
him. Yet he was a geologist, and
looked as if a stalactite would in¬
terest him more than the “skirl.”
He listened with admiration as the
pipers played, and his fingers went
a-clutching and his feet went
tap-tap-tap to the music. Away
to the Hielands they took him
with an impetuous rush, back to the
days when as a lad he was wont to
play in the evening—and then every¬
thing broke down before the in¬
sistent call. He made a rush to
one of the pipers, all but snatched
the instrument, and the next mo¬
ment the astonished geologists saw
a respectable man of Bcience with
a bagpipe under his arm playing
for dear life—and the best of It
all was that he could play.

“And wild and high the Camerons'
gathering rose,

The war note of Lochlel which
Albyn’s hills

Have heard, and heard too have
her Saxon foes;

How in the noon of night th*
pibroch thrills

Savage and shrill, but with the
breath which fills
Their mountain pipes so fill the
mountaineers

With the fierce native daring
that instils

The stirring memories of a thous¬
and years.

And Evan s, Donald's fame rings in
each clansman’s ears.”

INVITATIONS FOR

NEXT GATHERING

■ %

A Request to the Eminent Sci¬
entists Taht They Sign
Their Letters

This morning’s session of the Inter¬
national Geological Congress was
taken up chiefly with the xeports of
committees, the announcement that
formal invitations for the meeting of
Congress after the next one at Brus¬
sels, Belgium, had been received from
Spain and the Argentine Republic,
and the statement that the Spen-
diarofl’ Prize had been awarded to
Mr. Emile Argand, Paris, for his
thesis on “The Sheet of Overthrown
Rocks on the Western Alps.” It has
also been decided that the question
of iron-ore resources from an
economic point of view shall be re¬
studied for the next Congress.

. In the midst of the above an¬
nouncements reported to the general
meeting by President Adams after
the session of Council, .occurred a re¬
quest that eminent geologists should
sign their letters. One absent-mind¬
ed scientist had accepted with many
thanks an invitation to the banquet
at the Armories on Wednesday next,
but had omitted his signature. Hence
the request.

Au Extra Session.

Although the scientifc papers were
booked on the programme for ’his
afternoon an extra session followed
the business meeting this morning,
at which Dr. L. Milch of Germany
conducted some interesting chemical
experiments .illustrating ihe plasti¬
city of rocksalt and its dependency
on temperature.

As a prelude to his illustrated lec¬
ture this afternoon on Patagonia, Dr
Bailey Willis described the condition,
under which his survey of the coun
try east of the Andes is going on.
His commission from the Argentin
Department of Public Works had
arisen from his diagnosis of the Ar¬
gentine as containing no artesian
water. At first he was sent out to
study the arid regions of Patagonia,
but later the survey developed into
a general investigation, topographi¬
cal, geographical and economic, with
reference to fixture, settlement of
the country.

Covers Large Area.

“The survey covers,” said Dr. Wil¬
lis. “some 20,000 square miles, and
our report will be published by au¬
thority both in English and Span¬
ish. We are dealing with a part of
South America which is geologically
practically unknown, and topographi¬
cally is little better known.”

Speaking on the formation of
Patagonia, Dr. Willis declared that the
upper stratum was early tertiary
covering what may be a prepalaeozoic
foundation ,and that the age of the
Andes is about the same as that of
the Sierra Nevada. He attributed the
presence of great interior basins to the
unequal warping of the earth in the
process of elevation.

“It might seem strange to you,’"
he continued, “to live 5,000 miles
above the sea, but we think of it as
a flat plane. First there is the
plateau sloping at the coast towards
the ocean, then the pre-Andean de¬
pression and again the mountains,
-which are on an average 70 miles
across. The streams that flow west
through the Andes, causing interna¬
tional disputes between the Argentine
and Chili as to boundaries, can prob¬
ably be attributed to glacial erasion.”

Sectional Meetings.

This afternoon two sectional meet¬
ings are being held, dealing with the
influence of depth on the character of
metalliferous deposits, papers being
read by Messrs. J. F. Kemp, New
York; Paul Krush, Berlin; W. H. Em¬
mons, Minneapolis; L. L. Fermor, Cal¬
cutta,; Paul F. Fanning, Manilla, and
Malcolm Maclaren, London. At the
other sectional meeting. Miscellaneous
papers are being read ,and a third
and extra session left over from Sat¬
urday.

An excursion was run this morn-
j ing to. Orillia, and another leaves to-
! night for Belmont Lakb, where visits
| will he made to the iron and gold
mines.

This evening the civic reception
! will be held at the City Hail at
8.30 u.m.

Xo Sessions To-morrow.

There will be no sessions to-morrow,
for the programme has five excur¬
sions booked, to Credit Rl\ er, Don
! Valley, Scarboro Heights and two ex-
! cursions to Niagara Falls. In addi¬
tion to this, special excursions will
run to-morrow on the application of
ten or more members.

Mr. find Mrs. Dunlap’s Garden Party.

One of the most perfectly appoint¬
ed entertainments given here this
season was the garden party In honor
of the delegates attending the Geo¬
logical Congress given by Mr. and
Mrs. D. A. Dunlap at their beautiful
home in Rosedale, which is most
delightfully situated, overlooking the
second ravine. The scene was one
of the prettiest imaginable from the
Glen road bridge on approaching the
house, the pretty light, gowns of the
ladies on the terraced lawn, the beauti¬
ful beds of flowers and the scarlet
uniforms of the 4 8th Highlanders'
[Band stationed on the lower terrace
forming a very brilliant scene. Mr.
and Mrs. Dunlap received the guests
at the entrance to the house, the lat¬
ter looking very handsome in a
beautiful gown of soft white liberty
satin, with coat of cream rose point lace
lined with palest primrose, pearl and
diamond ornaments and black shirred
lace hat, with crown of cream Brus¬
sels lace and hand painted pale pink
roses appliqued, a small bunch of
French flowers resting under the
brim. Mrs. Adams, wife of the presi¬
dent of the society, and Mrs. J. B.
Tyrrell received with Mrs. Dunlap,
the former in sapphire blue crepe

Mrs. Dunlop’s Garden Party

The president and members of the
International Geological Congress were
the guests of honor on Saturday after¬
noon of Mr. and Mrs. David Dunlop at
a delightful garden party held at the
latter’s charming home in Rosedale. The
grounds ware looking particularly
fresh and green after the morning’s
rain, and a large marquee was ar¬
ranged on the velvety lawn. Delightful
music was rendered by the 4Sth High¬
landers' Band, who made a bright spot
of color on th§ lower terrace, and dur¬
ing the afternoon marched around the
lawn playing brilliantly. They were
headed by the pipers in ail their brav¬
ery of kilts, plaid, and sporran. Mr.
and Mrs. Dunlop received their guests,
who numoered several hundreds, on
the terrace near the house. Mrs. Dun¬
lap was wearing a Paris gown of
cream satin veiled in ivory ninon and
lace, a drooping hat of black lace, and
tulle with Dresden crown and soft
black ties, and a necklace of platinum
and diamonds. Mrs. J. B. Tyrrell also
received, wearing a gown of Dresden
nir.on over white satin, with wide-
brimmed hat of black with blue velvet
and flowers, and a necklace of Klon-
dyke gold nuggets. Mrs. Adams, wife
of the president of the Geological Sur

. , .... , ve y. was wearing a draped gown of

broche and hat with gold and- blue | deep blue crepe broche, and straw hat
feathers. Mrs. Tyrrell wearing pale with blue and gold, feathers, and vel-
blue flowered ninon and black hat low and blue flower wreath Mrs
with wreath of French flowers and Parks was gowned in black satin with
white osprey. The lovely home was lace, with touches of blue, and a

marquee erected on the east end of
the lawn, where the tables were bright
with scarlet gladioli. It was most
entertaining to listen to the many dif¬
ferent tongues being spoken and to
notice the many interesting looking
visitors with their different manners
and gesticulations in speaking, all ap¬
pearing to be charmed with Canada
and Canadians. Among the guests

HOSTESS OF GEOLOGISTS

'TIS 200,000,000 YEARS OLD

SAYS DR. UH LRIC OF EARTH

Of Course, Some Modest Geologists Make Age as Little as 75,000,-
000 Years —Oldest Part of World Is Around
Lake of the Woods.

HOW SCIENTISTS CALCULATE THE WORLD'S AGE

"How old is the earth? Well, some
say one thing and some another. Some
■say seven hundred and fifty million
years and some say seventy-five mil¬
lion. I’m inclined to think it’s more
like two hundred million myself.”

Thus did Professor Uhlric, an
American delegate to the Geological
Congress, inform The Star this morn¬
ing. “So, of course,” he added, “you
can see there’s room for enoice.”

"How do you make these calcula¬
tions?” asked the reporter- “Can it
be explained to the lay mind?”

“It can be. That is what our uni¬
versities are trying so hard to do.
There are many different ways of
reckoning, just as there are many dif¬
ferent conclusions arrived at.”

“But what is the chief one?”

“Well, the one which is most em¬
ployed might be explained’ in some
such way as this: We have observed
the rate at which certain kinds of rock
are deposited on the ocean floor, lime¬
stone for example. We have an idea
of all the sedimentary rock in the
world and of the length of time it must
have taken to deposit it there. So we

take, the aggregate thickness of the
several beds and add up the rate.”

“What is the general result of this
computation?’’

“Some say 75,000,000 years, but I
am more inclined to put it at 200,000,-
000 .”

“What are (he other methods like?"

“Likel I couldn’t begin to discuss
them, except—well, there is one that
is based on the depositions of radium.
But”—with a shrug “that is meta¬
physical—impossible to describe.”

"You see,” pointing to the map of
Canada hanging on tho wall of
the room, "we have a pretty dif¬
ficult task to make calculations like
these you speak of. See Hudson’s
Baj' there, for example. Tire sea
covers that area at present, but there
may have been a time when it was
dry land and there may have been an¬
other big sea, say—here!” pointing at
British Columbia.”

“How could you tell?”

“By the sedimentary rocks which
must have been formed under water.”

“Which do you call the oldest part
of the earth?”

“We don’t know. But the oldest to
my knowledge is around your Lake of,
i the Woods and the Laurentian Moun-
' tains.”

GEOLOGISTS ENJOYED KILTIES '

AMUSED AT PIPERS.

Foreign Delegates to Congress Worked

Hard on Saturday and Enjoyed a

Garden Party at Rosedale. .

Notable contributions to science
were included in many papers read at
the Geological Congress on Saturday.
An interesting paper was given by Mr.

F. Connor, chemist of the Mines
branch, Department of Mines, on
"Some Notes on Rock Analysis.” In
the determination of iron, said Mr.
Connor, by the sulphuretted hydrogen
method. It was formerly, the method to
have considerable free sulphuric acid
in the sulphate solution of the iron and
alumina oxides when sulphuretted hy¬
drogen gas was passed through it to
reduce the ferric sulphate. He found
it difficult to obtain complete reduction
by this method. Knowing that some
reduction processes—that is, titanium
by zinc in acid solution—are best ac¬
complished when the solution becomes
nearly neutral, he successfully applied
the same principle in the reduction of
iron as follows: Excess of ammonia
was added to the sulphuric acid solu¬
tion on the iron and alumina oxides,
and after neutralizing with sulphuric
acid about 2 c. c. of dilute sulphuric
acid was added in excess. In this
way the iron was speedily and com¬
pletely reduced.

CAPACITY OF GAS WELLS.

Dr. C. N. Gould, Oklahoma City, read
a paper on “Occurrences of Petroleum
and Natural Gas in the Mid-Continent
Field.” The capacity of gas wells of
tbv mid-continent field varies up to 50,-
OOO.OOO cubic feet per day. A well re¬
cently drilled to a depth of less than
700 feet in the new field of Loco, Ste¬
phens county, southwestern Oklahoma,
is producing 25.000,000 cubic feet of
gas per day.

SOME HEAVY READING.

During Saturday’s sessions the fol¬
lowing papers were read:

MINING BELOW ZERO.

Among interesting statements made
is that Asia Minor has good coal sup¬
plies untouched and imports coal from
Britain. The furthest north settle¬
ment of the white man, Advent Bay,

Spitsbergen, is due to the fact that
coal is found there. It is 300 feet
above sea level and 200 miners dig
it out for an American company. The
town has an electric car line and is
known as Longyear City.

ployes, a remarkable feature of oper- | of the j^ext century.

orative appearance, so that the min¬
ers endowed with a little imagination
may fancy themselves at work in
halls the walls of which have been
studded with sparkling gems.

SUPPLY IN THE U.S.

In the United States the occurrence
of coal is wide and varied. All grades
from peat to anthracite, through lig-
nitic and bituminous varieties, have
been discovered. The eastern half
of the country has been particularly
favored. In the west the great nat¬
ural regions determined by the
Rocky Mountains and Northern Great
Plains also contain vast reserves.

Over 550.000,000 tons of coal were
mined in the different States of the
Union in 1912. This quantity exceeded
j the 1911 yield by about 50,000,000 tons.
These figures give a fair idea of the
marvelous increase of consumption. It
1 is on comparing them with the 7,000,-
000 tons produced in 1850, however,
that we are able to judge how pertin¬
ently our present-day requirements
lead us to inquire whether we are to
face a future shortage or not.

EXHAUSTED IN 50 YEARS.

The area of the more accessible coal
fields of the country is about 327,000
square miles. The quantity of coal
in store within their extent was esti¬
mated to amount to nearly 2,000 bil¬
lion tons. These figures will probably
be increased when the final results of
the congress are known. Taking this
quantity as a basis, however, and pro¬
vided the rate of increase that has
held for the last fifty years be main¬
tained, we are confronted with the
fact that the supply of easily available
I coal will be exhausted before the mid-

QUIET DAY FOR THE VISITORS

1 GEOLOGISTS’ SUNDAY.

CONGRESS HEARS REPORTS

FROM COUNCIL.

Appeared to Appreciate Rest From

,Recent Rush—Many Take in Excur¬
sions.

Yesterday afternoon afforded a
pleasant opportunity for the visiting
geologists to shelve their favorite
study and stroll about the city, com¬
paring our architecture with that of
the old world.

The Muskoka excursion which left
shortly before midnight on Saturday
reduced the number in the city. How¬
ever, there were still sufficient num¬
bers to make a fair showing in the
university lounge-room and to repre¬
sent their body in several churches
about the city.

St. Michael’s Cathedral claimed a
large share of the worshippers.

NOT OUR ROCKS.

A small excursion left on the Metro¬
politan Railway on Saturday noon for
the purpose of seeing the results of
glacier action above the old north
shore of Lake Ontario.

The remains of this old body and
Scarboro’ Bluffs formed the topic of
discussion for a few of those in the
lounge-room yesterday. The result of
this little trip brought out the fact
that all rocks and stones lying im¬
mediately to the north of our city—
and even farther—do not belong to '
us.

The excursion conductor did not
wish to imply that Toronto had stolen
these stones to supply building
material for this rapidly expanding
city. Rather that they had been
swept down before the ice barrier
which covered most of this continent
| ages ago.

An excursion left this morning for
Orillia at eight o’clock.

Much interest is being shown in
the great excursion to-morrow to
Niagara Palls.

Emile Argan Named for Great Prize

—Belgium Next, Spain or the Ar¬
gentine After That.

LOST—About one hundred
and seventy-fire geologists. If
they are found, kindly direct
them to the Physics Building,
Toronto University.

This is # were they were supposed
to be this morning; but alas- they
were not. Instead some forty mem¬
bers did their best to spread out over
the theatre and make the building ima¬
gine it was crowded. This meeting
was to hear the report of the Coun¬
cil and the International Committees.

The audience was small and the re¬
ports were likewise for they just cov¬
ered three matters of business.

It was definitely decided to hold the
next convention in Brussels, Belgium,
during the summer of 1917. Two in¬
vitations one from the Spanish Gov¬
ernment and the other from the rulers
of the Argentine Republic were read
for the meeting of 1921- Both these
invitations were referred to the Brus-
sells Committee. Spain appeared to
he the favorite place and the invita¬
tion was lengthy; .setting forth the
good things in store for the Congress
should they accept.

GREAT PRIZE.

Emile Argand, France, has been
named worthy of receiving the Spen-
diaroff prize. This will give him the
sum of $400 when he next takes a
trip to Gay Paree.

~ This prize is donated to the congress
by . a. Russian family whose son died
while on one of the congress excur¬
sions, -to the Ural Mountains. It is
presented for the most interesting!
paper prepared since the meeting of
the last general assembly.

The subject chosen by Eimile Argand
was “The Overthrusts of the Eastern
Alps,” and his essay was written in
1911.

“These overthrusts are very inter¬
esting phases of mountain geology,”
said one of the officials to The Tele¬
gram. There is a fine specimen in
the Rccfky Mountains just outside of
Banff. They appear to he caused by
sea pressure crushing the heated earth
surface up in a heap and in the case
of our Banff overthrust the entire
mountain has been shoved seven miles
out of its original place. The same
thing is noticed in the Alps and has
been given much study of late.”

■The third report was that of pass¬
ing on a. suggestion for a great work
to the next council. Dr. Hobbs, of
Washington, proposed that a great
work be prepared dealing with the
“Fracture Systems of the Earth’s
Crust.” A learned gentleman, sitting
next to The Telegram, converted this
.into human 'English.

“The many great valleys about the
earth,” he said, "have been caused
by the earth drying and cooling, sim¬
ilar to a wet bed of clay, under the
sun’s rays. Dr. Hobbs wants a great
investigation into this; but we have
been so busy with our excursions and
our coal reports that we cannot give
the matter attention until 1917.” •

THIS MISSING BAND.

There was a long list of papers and
lectures on the board for this morn¬
ing’s meeting.

“Is Dr. - ready with his paper?”

asked the president. He was on the
missing list- “Is Prof. —- here?”
He was not.

“May we have paper No. 3?”
Silence.

• U-tO|l3 (

\

I And so some seventeen names were
I called out and all were among the
I tem porarily lost- Things looked
I pretty blue for a time, but the day
was saved.

THE IMPROMPTU SPEAKER.

The president looked over the sea of
vacant seats and away up in one cor¬
ner he spied his old friend Bailey Wil¬
lis.

"Could Mcr. Willis give us a short
talk for a few minutes?” he inquired.
He could and he would. As the gentle¬
man named walked jip the aisle two
elderly members of the congress put
their heads together.

“There’s a man who can talk.” said
one. "His father was N. P. Willis, the
poet. He has inherited his father’s
ability.” '

The speaker was a good prophet,
for it would be difficult to find a more
interesting talk—and all made on the
spur of the moment without map, note
or preparation. '

Mr. Willis afterwards gave his card
to The Telegram. He is at present
Chief of the Hydrographic Survey of
the Argentine Republic. He went to
that southern empire some few years
ago for the Smithsonian Institute. At
that time the Minister of Public
Works was trying to find artesian wa¬
ter for the arid lands of eastern Ar¬
gentina. Mr. Willis dropped him a
tip of applied geology and told him
that if he drilled to the centre of the
earth at that point he would still
strike dryness.

The Minister appointed him director
of a survey which was to study the
geology of the Argentine, in an at¬
tempt to locate water of this nature,
but after a short time the survey was
disbanded. “The reason was simple,”
said the speaker, "for there is no wa¬
ter there.”

SHOULD HAVE TRIED FRENCH.

“After our water survey was dis¬
banded we reorganized to make maps
of great tracts of land that were al-
I most unknown,” said the speaker, “and
! I have been authorized to make my re-
1 port public in two languages: Spanish
and English.

“The minister told me that if the re¬
port were published in Spanish only,
it would die; but if published in Engr
lish also it would live'. And he was an
Argentine himself. This is a power¬
ful example of the might of our ton¬
gue.”

A PRESENTATION.

Prof. Milch, in his very best German,
told of a series of experiments he had
been making to determine the action
of crystals under heat. He produced
a black frame- lined with velvet, on
which were glued little crystal-like
masses. A close inspection showed
that they were crystals of rock salt
and bent to letters which read: "12th
International Geological Congress, Tor¬
onto, 1913.” This frame is to be pre¬
sented to Dr. Adams, president of the
General Congress.

“I hope we have a better turn-out
for the afternoon lectures,” said a wor¬
ried-looking individual as he left the
hall.

"Oh, well,” replied his comrade “if
the worst comes to the worst. I’ll come
and be an audience for your paper.”

FOND OF EXCURSIONS

Many of the Delegates Visit

of Interest.

ATTEND RECEPTION

A Study in Mariners of aii Na¬
tions at Brilliant Civic Re¬
ception to Geologists.

Many were the bids made yesterday
for the next International Geological
Congress, which is to be held in 1917.
Invitations were extended by Belgium,
Argentine Republic, Chili and Spain,
and these were all considered by the
council yesterday when they met to
choose between the countries. The
highest bidder turned out to be Bel¬
gium, but it was only after a good
deal of discussion that the council de¬
cided to accept the invitation. The
meetings will be hold in Brussels, the
capital. In J920 it Is likely that the
congress will be held in the Argentine
Republic, and in 1924, Madrid, Spain,
will have her turn.

As the sessions of the congress
draw to a close the attendance at the
aneetings shows signs of falling off.
In the past two days,many impromptu
out-of-town trips have been arranged,
and a trip to most of the geologists is a
bigger lure than a lecture.

Trip to Muskoka.

The trip to Muskoka, which was
held on Sunday, was one of the most
miccessf-ul yet held. G. G. S. Lindsey
of Toronto was in charge of the jaunt,
and more than 60 geologists were in
the party. Ail day Sunday they tour¬
ed the Muskoka Lakes, and It was
early yesterday morning before they
returned to the city.

Yesterday morning at 8 o’clock 15
members took I he trip to Orillia, in
charge of W. A. Johnston of the Geo¬
logical Survey of Canada.

The lecture room was crowded to
the doors during the afternoon to hear
the economic addresses on the subject
of the “Influence of Depth on the
Character of Metalliferous De¬
posits." Six authorities gave address¬
es which were of great, interest, to the
(mining men. The lecturers treated dif¬
ferent phases of the subject, and, as
In religious discussions, they were
'compelled to agree to disagree. The
lecturers were ,T. F. Kemp of New
York: Paul Kruseh of Berlin. Ger¬
many; W. IT. Rramons, Minneapolis:
I.. L. Fertnorg Calcutta, India; Paul
F- Fanning. Manila, and Malcolm
Maciaren of London, England.

At 5 o’clock. Dr. W. F. Hume, direc¬
tor of the geological survey of Egypt.,
(rave an illustrated lecture on the
■eenery of the Egyptian desert, oasis,
cataract and mountain wildernesses.
The slides Illustrated the occasion and
origin of the desert erosion forms and
were of great interest.

Another illustrated lecture, perhaps
the most entertaining lecture that has
been given at the congress, was one
given directly after lunch by Cy War-
tman of the Grand Trunk Pacific Rail¬
way. The illustrated slides dealt witli
scenery along the transcontinental
line, and particularly with the scen¬
ery in thp mountains in British Col¬
umbia in the vicinity of the yellow-
head Pass and the Skeena River.

This lecture was of special interest
to the members who intend to leave
on Thursday evening for the coast.

The city hall took on a festive ap¬
pearance last night when ,a civic re¬
ception was held in honor of the
gealogluts who were attending the in-1
ternational congress in the city The
receptions in honor of the hydro¬
electric and the Duke and Duchess of
Connaught caused bigger rushes than
Ithe one last night held in honor, of the
geologists, but never before in the
history of the city hall has there been
such a number of nationalities re¬
presented

Mayor Hocken and Mrs. Hocken,
who extended the official civic, wel-
I come, had a difficult task before them
| for the representatives of every na¬
tionality represented had a different
manner of returning the salutation.
Those from the United States, Great
Britain and the British colonies ex¬
tended the usual curt greeting of the
Anglo-Saxon, but with the Spaniards
the style changed, while the polished
Russians and Hungarians almost
touched, the floor in their sweeping
bows. Passing out front the council
chamber, which was banked with
flowers, the Quests divided into little
groups, listening to the music of the
two orchestras, and conversing.

Among the citizens who attended
the reception were members^ of the
city council, former Mayors Urquhart
and Oliver and their families, Con¬
troller T. L. Church, chairman of the
reception committee; J. W. Somers,
secretary of the reception committee,
and the following members of the To¬
ronto committee: Prof. A. P. Cole¬
man, W. F. Ferrler, Gerhard Helntz-
mari, Prof. T. L. Walker. R. L. Iloro,
- B.A., W. H. McNalrn, Prof. W. A.
Parks, James McEvoy, A- G. Burrows,
W. G. Miller, Provincial Geologist A.
L. Parsons, A. B, Willmott, Percy
Hopkins, G. G. S. Lindsay, K.C., and
Aid. Ryding.

At the civic reception to the geologists
last night in the city hall. His Worship
[the Mayor of Toronto and Mrs. Hocken
(received in the council chamber, on the
steps of the throne. Mrs. Hocken look¬
ed very handsome in blush rose satin,
draped with pale gray ninon, and real
lace with diamond ornaments. Her bou¬
quet of the most exquisite orchids was
a masterpiece from the civic hothouses,
being composed of at least a dozen or
more varieties of the most beautiful
flowers, from sprays of the tiniest “jew¬
elled” orchid to a very large one like
purple velvet, the whole surrounded
with fine maiden hair fern.

The board of governors of the Uni¬
versity of Toronto have issued invita¬
tions to a garden party In honor of the

GEOLOGICAL PICNICS

Four out-of-town excursions to-day
took most of the delegates to the In¬
ternational Geological Congress away
from the central rendezvous at Toron¬
to University. Dr. Coleman took a
party of 56 members out to see the in-
Iter-giacial evidence in the clay depos¬
its of the Don Valley and at the brick
works. In the afternoon this same
party went to Scarboro to see the gla¬
cial and inter-glacial effects visible in
the famous cliffs of Scarboro Heights.

A third party, under Dr. Parks of
Toronto University, went to Credit
Forks at 7.20 to see the formations
there, and the fossils in the rock ex¬
posed at the quarries and by the river.
Special interest attaches to this dis¬
trict owing to the discovery there
about a year and a half ago of a new
geological formation. It has been
called the Cataract formation. Dr.
Parks of Toronto and Dr. Schuchert
of Yale are responsible for the dis¬
tinguishing of the Cataract formation
from others, and both of these gentle¬
men went to the Forks to-day.

Two parties went to Niagara Falls,
one on the boat at 7.30 and another on
the 9 o’clock boat. The geology of Ni¬
agara Gorge and of the falls is par¬
ticularly interesting to visitors, as it
has been featured in geological text
books for a generation or more. It
presents a regular sedimentary series
•to plain view—limestone, sandstone,
and shales. The wearing back of the
gorge from Queenston to the falls in
their present situation is universally
regarded by geologists as one of the
authoritative gauges of the passage of
time in a geological sense-

To Visit Socialists Elsewhere.

Dr. Backstrom will travel through
Western Canada after the conference,
and will not only interest himself in
the geological problems of the West
hut will meet a number of the pro’
tnment Socialists and Labor leaders
\ lth a view to gathering information
about (lie spread of Socialist thought

The n.Tt ?n ent ,° f ^anization “in
that part of Canada.

WAR WAS AVERTED

Will Visit Various Socialistic
Organizations in Canada
and the States.

Professor H. Backstrom of Sweden,
one of the geological delegates upon
whom was conferred the degree of
LL.D., by McGill University recently,
is one of the most prominent figures
among these now attending the con¬
ference in Toronto. He brings to the
conference not only the interest of a
geologist, but also the desire to learn
something of social science. Yester¬
day afternoon he spent some time -with
Mr. James Simpson gathering infor¬
mation with reference to the develop¬
ment of the labor movement in Can¬
ada, both political and industrial. His
interest in the labor problem has been
lifelong and as one of the foremost
leaders in the Socialist movement in
Sweden he has been elected to the
Swedish Upper House, similar to the
Senate of Canada, and the House of
Lords in England.

Dr. Backstrom manifests a keen in¬
terest in the political activities of the
workers in Canada, and was anxious
to learn what progress the Socialists
were making to place men in the
Municipal Councils, Provincial Legis¬
latures, and Federal Parliament He
stated that in the Senate of Sweden
he was among a very strong Con¬
servative wing of the Parliamentari¬
ans, but in the Lower House the So¬
cialists, Radicals, and Liberals are
very strong and are making their in¬
fluence upon the national life. He. re¬
ferred to the bitterness between Nor¬
way and Sweden a few years ago,
when the treaty between the two
countries was broken by Norway.

Prevented a War.

“At that time the ruling class in the
two countries were very anxious to
have a war,” he said, ‘‘but the Social¬
ists, and many of the Radicals and
Liberals, were strongly opposed to a
resort to arms. The ruling class re¬
alized that they could not depend upon
the great mass of the people who
had no sympathy with war, and there
was no war. It was chiefly the in¬
fluence of the Socialists that prevent¬
ed the two nations going to war.”

Dr. Backstrom is keenly interested
in the question of immigration and is
informing himself on the various
means employed in Canada to citizen-
ize the thousands of immigrants from
other countries. He thinks this is one
of the big problems that Canada has
to grapple with and that considerable
work will have to be done to develop
a sturdy Canadianism among those
from foreign countries who have to
learn the English language and be¬
come informed about the countries
institutions, and laws. He has been
so favorably impressed with what he
has seen of Canada that he stated
his preference fpr this country as his
home land, if Sweden was no longer a
place where he wished to live.

Civic -Reception to Geologists

A most brilliant affair was the civic
reception held last evening in the City
Hall in honor of the visiting geolog¬
ists. His Worship the Mayor and
Mrs. Hocken received the guests in
the council chambers, on the steps of
the throne. Mrs. Hocken was gowned
in pale rose .satin, veiled in pearl grey
ninon, with real lace and diamonds,
and carried an exquisite bouquet of
orchids, a triumph in flowers from the
civic hothouses, all varieties of these
wonderful blooms being represented,
and gracefully combined with maiden
hair fern. Representatives of all
nationalities were present, and the
evening proved most interesting.
From the council chamber the guests
Wended their way to other parts of
the hall, which had been handsomely
arranged for the occasion. Two or¬
chestras provided delightful music. A
buffet supper was served in the cor¬
ridor, many beautiful flowers being
used in the decorations, both on the
tables and the rooms.

Among those present were members
of the City Council, former Mayors
Urquhart and Oliver and their fam¬
ilies. Controller T. L. Church, chair¬
man of the reception committee; J.

HUNDREDS OF LETTERS

And Fifteen Months’ Work
to Prepare for the

Congress.

A full list of the geological societies
in tile world has been published by the
congress, and their lists of members
are now on file. This exhaustively
covers the whole world, and is the re¬
sult of a 16 months' work on the part
of the correspondence staff. The 'num¬
ber of geologists in the world is shown
to total at over 18,000, while the min¬
ing engineers number 126,000.

The first, circulars were sent out in.
May, 1912, in Englash and in French,'
The English circulars went to all Eng¬
lish-speaking countries, and account¬
ed for half of the total. The other
countries were all circularized in
French, the official language of the con¬
gress. Follow-up circulars were sent
out in February, May, and June of
this year. The resulting lists were
printed and a copy mailed back to
each society for correction. The re¬
vised lists are now on file, and the
staff is proud of their thoroughness.

Governments Contributed.

The $75,000 fund for the general ex¬
penses of the Congress was collected
by public and private subscriptions.
The Dominion Government gave $25,-
000 in oash and a guarantee, the On¬
tario Government "$7,000, Quebec $5,000,
British Columbia $5,000, Nova Scotia
$2,500. The Coniagas Mine of Cobalt
donated $1,000. The Canadian Copper
Company $500, the Mond Nickel Com¬
pany $500, the Hollinger of Porcupine
$500, the Le Roy No. 2 of Rosslamd
headed a long list of $50 contributions.

Average Cost $400. ®

The average personal cost to the
delegates from Europe would approxi¬
mate $400. If a geological visitor from
say Paris, France, were to have taken
in all the excursions possible, as well
as the ten days in Toronto, and in¬
cluding the Yukon trip, his. outlay
would reach $1,200- If he brought his
wife along, as some of the delegates
did, the cost would be double, or more.
The Western trip to Victoria costs
200 per head. The Yukon excursion,
lor which a special steamer ha.s been
chartered and upon which 50 mem¬
bers have been booked, costs $400.
The return Atlantic passage costs $200.
Other excursions, and travelers’ ex¬
penses, bring up the total to well over
$1,000 for those who take in every¬
thing possible on the programme.

Geologists Not Wealthy.

Geologists as a class are hot reputed
as a wealthy lot Comfortable .de¬
scribes their situation better. A few
of the mining engineers are wealthy
where they have embraced finance ,as
well as geology. But the typical geolo¬
gist is an academic person, with a pro¬
fessorship in a university yielding him
an assurance of an income for life. He
works hard, he travels a great deal.

land he endures strange and trying cli¬
mates and foods with philosophic
cheerfulness. But as a rule is not
rich.

Collecting Specimens.

Nearly all the visiting geologists
have made extensive Canadian collec¬
tions on this trip- They are being
carefully boxed and shipped home to
all parts of the world. In one of the
forwarding companies there is a store
room full of such boxes, awaiting final
instructions.

THE CLIMATE OF TORONTO
FORMERLY MUCH MILDER

So Geologists Say After Examining
Fossils in Don
Valley.

The 62 members of Dr. Coleman’s
party to the Don Valley this morning
spent an interesting three hours in a
remarkable section. The glacial de¬
posits visible in the brick yard work¬
ings are unions, in that no such plain¬
ly marked records have been found
elsewhere in Canada. The fossil re¬
mains of the interglacial portion of
the deposits prove that Toronto at no
great time in the geological past en¬
joyed a climate similar to that in
Southern Pennsylvania and Ohio, hav¬
ing been very much .warmer. This
genial climatic condition developed,
according to the records preserved to
geologists in the. clay of the Don Val¬
ley between periods of extreme .gla¬
ciation. ’*

Mayor at Reception in
City Hall.

The great gathering of geologists
iwho have been meeting in Toronto
jnow for the better part of a week di¬
vide their work into two parts, each
in its way as important as the other,
Having given four days to exchanging
views and absorbing information of
I* geological construction and its signifi¬
cance in widely separated parts of the
world, gathered by scientists of all
races, the members of the congress are
now preparing to leave the confiding
walls of the University Buildings and
conduct their further investigations in
the open. Only one more day will be
given over to lectures, the rest of the
time between now and the closing of
the congress on Thursday bding devot¬
ed to excursions to various surround¬
ing points of geologic interest in the
province".

The congress yesterday, in addition
j to listening to a number of interesting
papers, including one by M. Emile

fljA.rgand, of Paris, the recipient of the
Spendiaroff prize, and another by Dr.
1. J. Kemp, professor of geology at Col¬
umbia University, fixed upon the meet¬
ing place for the next congress, ac¬
cepting the invitation of the Govern¬
ment of Belgium to meet in Brussels
In 1917. For the 1921 congress invi¬
tations have been received from Spain
i and Argentina.

The geologists wound up the day by
1 visiting the City Hall, where they were
| formally welcomed by Mayor Hocken
' and the City Council,

Overthrusts of the Alps.

M. Emile Argarud, of Paris, the re¬
cipient of the Spendiairoff Prize, the
giflt of a Russian fa/mily whose son died
while rwith an excursion to the Ural
Mountain® organized by the congress,
spoke on “The Oventhrusts of the
Eastern Alps.” One important matter
to be discussed at the Brussels congress
In 1917 is the proposal of Dr- Hob'bs, of
Washington, that a great work be pre¬
pared on the subject of “The Fracture
Systems of the Earth’s Crust.” Many
of the lectures scheduled for this
morning had to ‘be passed, owing to the
absence of the lecturer®.

The afterdoon session gave a better
showing, and large audiences were
present to hear the addresses of the
various speakers, Perhaps the most
Interesting of these, from a geological
point of view, was that of Dr. J. J.
Kemp, professor of geology at polum-

bia University, U.S.A., on “The Influ-,
ence of Depth on the Character of
Metalliferous Deposits.” He dwelt es¬
pecially upon t!he effect of increasing
depth upon those geological conditions
which influence the precipitation of
ores, and referred, as instances of deep
boring, to the mines of Keweenaw
Point, Lake Superior, where several
shafts exceed a depth of 5,000 feet, as
well as to those of Minas Geraes, Bra¬
zil. The deepest borings, said Dr.
Kemp, had either copper or gold as
fcheir objective, but precipitation was
most favorable at a depth of 2,000 to
4,000 feet. A point of great interest
was the extent of enrichment in regard
to depth, but secondary enrichment
was limited to a shoTt stretch below
the ground-water.

On Metal Formations.

Other papers were read by Professor
W. Harvey Emmons, of the University
of Minnesota, U.S.A., on "The Mineral)
Composition of Primary Ore as a Fac- |
tor Determining the Vertical Range of
Metals Deposited by Secondary Pro¬
cess”; by Dr. L. Leigh Fermor, of the
Geo-logical Survey of India, on “The
Formation in Depth of Oxidized Ores
rad of Secondary Limestones”; and by
ProfessoT Paul Krusch, of the Royal
Geological Institute, Berlin, Germany,
»n “Primary and Secondary Ores, with
Special Relation to the Colloid and
Heavy Metal Ores.”

The last-named gentleman, though
speaking in German, was listened to
with marked attention, and his audi¬
ence unanimously endorsed the pro¬
posal of the chairman that he be al¬
lowed five minutes longer than the
allotted time-

In fiib- second section Professor ,
Bailey Willis gave an interesting ad¬
dress on his discoveries during a sur¬
vey in Argentina.

Received at City Hall.

At half-pagt eight the members and
their ladies began to arrive at the City
Hall to attend a reception given to them
by the Mayor and City Council of Toronto.
His Worship and Mrs. Hocken received
their guests fh the Council Chamber amid
a profusion of palms and flowers, the
names being announced by Professor
I Coleman, of Toronto University. Music
was provided in the hall by two excellent
bands, and, after the reception, refresh¬
ments were served. The company num¬
bered over 500. Each member of the con¬
gress has been presented with a special
copy of “ Toronto of To-day,” with an
illuminated title-page bearing the legend
“ To commemorate the 12th International
•Geological Congress, 1913, Toronto, Can¬
ada.”

Study Glacial Beaches.

A large number of the members left
Toronto by the 8.05 a.m. Grand Trunk
train yesterday on an excursion to Orillia,
with the object of studying the post¬
glacial beaches in the old strand line of
Algonquin Lake, as well as some interest¬
ing features of post-glacial drainage.

Another large party took the 10.30 p.m.
C.P.R. train for Belmont Lake, which wi.l
be reached by carriage from Havelock.
Should time permit visits will be made to
iron and gold mines in the vicinity.

To-day excursions have begTi arranged
to Niagara Falls, the Don Valley, Scar-
boro Heights and Credit River. At the
Don Valley the members will De afforded
facilities for the collection of Pleistocene
fossils from the Toronto Interglacial for¬
mation. while at Scarboro Heights they
will have an opportunity to see Iroquois
beach deposits, and a beautiful section of
the Pleistocene, in which four distinct
sheets of till are exposed. The feature
of Interest at Credit River will be the
scenery, while the Forks are famous as
t *? e sfte °f former extensive quarrying
of the Cataract sandstone. The region
abounds with specimens typical of the |

CIVIC RECEPTION

TO GEOLOGISTS

All Nationalities Were Represented at the
Civic Reception for the Geological

Society

Never before was such a cosmo¬
politan gathering held, or more suc¬
cessful reception given, in the City
Hall than the one of last evening at
the City Hail by the Mayor and City
Council in honor of the Geological
Congress. The guests, from all parts
of the world, expressed great interest
and pleasure on seeing the beautiful
corridors, paintings and decorations
of the building. The Mayor and Mrs.
Hocken received the guests in the
Council Chamber, the spacious room
lending itself to the artistic decora¬
tions of ferns and palms, among
which twinkled myriads of tiny
lights. Mrs. Hocken was handsome¬
ly gowned in pale pink brocaded satin
with a gracefully draped tunic of
pale grey ninon and real lace. She
wore diamond and pearl ornaments
and carried a beautiful bouquet of
orchids of many varieties.

The main corridors were decorated
in the same way as the Council
Chamber with the addition of a great
many large box trees. The handsome
marble staircases and stately win¬
dows were banked with numbers of
palms, ferns and tropical plants.

A dainty buffet supper was served
at the west end of the main corridor
.from tables made lovely with sum¬
mer flowers and softly shaded
candles.

The two splendid orchestras, one
of which played upstairs, were ad¬
mirably conducted by Mr. Oswald
Roberts. The reception committee

WELCOMED OUR VISITORS

AT CITY HALL.

325 Persons Accept Hospitality of To¬
ronto—Flowers and Music Trans¬
form Civic Corridor Into Fairyland.

What’s in a name? Ask Mayor
Hocken. Last night he stood up in
the flower-banked council chamber of
the City Hall and extended the official
civic welcome to 200 of the visiting
scientists.

It might not have been so bad if
they had come upon him under country
classifications; he then might have had
a chance to get his bearings. But they
entered the reception rectangle dis¬
tinctly cosmopolitan. Even Professor
Coleman, who was endeavoring to pro¬
nounce the names in English, was quite
warm when the last of the guests had
passed.

But what, odds? It is all over
now, and every person enjoyed them¬
selves. The main corridor of our City
Hall is an ideal spot for a reception.

FLOWERS AND MUSIC. '

A great transformation " had come
over the main corridor. Instead of the
hardwood counters and the long line
of receivers of customs, banks of flow¬
ers and palms filled the corners, and
from the leaves twinkled tiny electric
lights. Behind ail two orchestras were
concealed. The guests entered the
Board of Control room, giving two
cards to the clerks. The names were
then written on slips of paper, and the
proud bearer entered the council cham¬
ber. He slowly moved forward in the
line until he came to Professor Cole¬
man, who announced him. The Mayor
and Mrs. Hocken then shook them
warmly by the hand, and the guest
passed out to the corridor.

the Nile after having seen the St.

er’s address was tinctured with humor
all through, and he was frequently
applauded, and at the end he was
given quite an ovation. Geologists

Elaborate Civic Reception in
City Hall Attended by
Four Hundred Guests

At the meeting of the Council of
)he Twelfth International ' Geological
Congress, under the Presidency of Dr.
Adams, the invitation of Belgium to
bold the next Congress there was yes¬
terday* accepted, and the date fixed is
1917. There were several contenders
for the honor, but, in view of the fact
that Belgium had waived their right
last time in favor of Canada, there
was not much doubt as to the choice.
Another factor was the expense to
the European delegates in having to
visit this continent too often. An in¬
vitation from the Argentine Republic
was received for the 1920 Congress.
The Director of the Geological Survey
of Chili supported the invitation and
suggested that the Congress do not
stop at the boundary, but cross over
the Andes to that country and the
Pacific coast. An invitation was also
received from Spain for the 1920.

Studying Strata.

There were more interesting papers
yesterday, if one might judge by the
attendance, and more discussion than
on any day since the Congress start¬
ed. A fascinating address was that
given by Dr. W. Paulcke, professor
of geology at Karlsruhe, who gave ac¬
counts of experiments made in his
laboratory showing the manner in
which different strata were forced in
forming thrusts. The doctor carried
out his experiments with different ma- I
terials on a section two metres long
by one metre broad, under a pressure ;
of 3,300 pounds. The results shown j
on the canvas by means of magnifi- 1
cently colored slides were a distinct |l
surprise to those present. Sections of \
the Alps which were shown revealed
the fact that the doctor had obtained j
the same results by his experiments
as obtained In the huge mountains of
Switzerland. Mr. H. M. Cadell, at jj
the close of Dr. Paulcke's address, ji
congratulated the doctor upon the re- ;
markable results which he had ob- '
tained, and remarked that ‘‘children
are fond of making mudpies and geo¬
logists are fond of making experi¬
ments.” It is interesting to note that
the doctor has published a book upon
his experiments.

Nile and St. Lawrence.

The lecture room in Building 35
Was filled to capacity when Dr. W. F.
Hume, Director of the Geological Sur¬
vey of Egypt, commenced his lecture
upon Egypt. Egypt was not a coun¬
try of sand, as was commonly thought,
and not an absolute waste. A large
portion of the country was covered
with limestone and was the inhospi¬
table portion, hut the regions where
the oases are to be found are cover¬
ed with sandstone. "What is your
conception of the Nile?” asked the
lecturer. ‘‘I find that a great many
think It a flat country. The actual
Nile valley is a ravine bordered with
cliffs from 1.200 to 1.K00 feet above
the surface of the Nile.” The slides
thrown on the screen revealed this in

Fortunately for the Executive, the
Twelfth International Geological Con¬
gress is now running more on its own
momentum. But the strain has been
terrific. Handicapped by strange
usages and unfamiliar language.s,
many of the European delegates have
to be taken care of from the locating
of their particular section of research
to the disposal of their laundry. The
local committee working at Toronto
have not had more than four hours'
rest for the past two weeks. The Sec¬
retary, Mr. W. Stanley Lecky, will re¬
quire several weeks of rest cure after
jhe event, and one of his assistants
ent home to bed Friday night quite
broken down. Because the machinery

stinted and unselfish work.

Within its own kingdom of erudi¬
tion, science is essentially democratic.
The list of delegations and members
of the International Geological Con¬
gress gives name and number, some¬
times the institution with which the
delegate is connected—and that is all.
Take, for instance, this entry among
the names of the eminent men from
Sweden:

“Government of Sweden, Stock¬
holm, S. A. H. Sjorgen, 4 4 9.” To all
intents and purposes Mr. Sjorgen, a
man of middle age, with broad, flat
shoulders and the steady blue eye, is
just an ordinary mining engineer and
geologist. It would be unfair to say
that it is his hobby to be a profes¬
sional man because he takes his pro¬
fession far more seriously than many
who have to make their living by the
agitation of their brain cells. But as
a matter of fa.ct he is a millionaire—
in pounds sterling, not dollars. When j
the eleventh session of the Interna¬
tional Congress was held in Stockholm
he gave the delegates a banquet which
cost a thousand pounds. Most of the
delegates do not know to this day
■who their host was. He has also the
distinction of being a cousin of the
Nobel whose father invented dyna¬
mite, and presents annually to Rud-
yard Kipling and other pacificists a
few thousand pounds for their aid and
comfort in stopping war.

Men were to be seen from stem to
stern of the covered boats, and wo¬
men were ensconced on the counter
and Che taffrail. In the smallest and
most rakish-looking the forward deck
was bare, save for a shock-haired
youth with an open-necked shirt and
sun-burned arms, who emerged from
the forward hatch at regular intervals
with a tailing dipper In his hand.
Aft of the forward bulkhead, men sat
three in a row in dining-room chairs
to thc number of thirteen, under the
open sky.

Curious Natives.

While curious natives on the fore¬
peak oi the high-bluff shore gazed
downward at the pitching vessels rid¬
ing at anchor with their bows point¬
ing upwards half out of water at one
moment, and their propeller and a
third of their stern keel showing out
clear of the waves the moment after,
a curious activity seemed to be going
on within the crowded bulwarks.
Each vessel carried a tiny "dinghy”
trailing astern like a puppy dog on a
rope.

On thc two larger vessels prepara¬
tions were evidently under way to
send landing parties ashore through
the breakers.

Daring Scientists.

The blue cliffs stood silent, stern,

irom the green shore line, the blue
nose tipped and flushed by the west¬
ern sun. They had coasted along the
cliffs at a respectful distance out from
the breakers, they had marked the
lines of the strata in the clay that
record the four inter-glacial periods
of the Toronto region, they had seen
the margin of prehistoric Hake Iro¬
quois preserved by the sand dunes.
They had observed how the water lap¬
ped up to the base of the frowning
cliff, and that the beach, owing to high
water, is tnis year submerged. And ;
now at last they had come to the
Dutch Church—and they observed 1
what to the naked eye looked like a
place to land!

From the south-east, the waves were
piling up higher than ever, with noth¬
ing to break their sweep from Oswego
to Scarboro Heights. Evidently,
science could best be served by going
ashore, while yet -there was time and
opportunity. That cliff could not be
studied in detail from the crowded
cabin of a tossing motor yacnt, one
hundred yards from the fascinating
Shore.

Venturesome Ladies, •

So the more venturesome of that
horde of scientific adventurers! leaped
into the tossing rowboats. Two lady j
geologists also leaped and were safely
caught. Women, nowadays, will go
wherever men will go, in the interests

and forbidding, their noble features *of science or anything else.

party, nearly all had wet feet.

Some had been overtaken in their
seats, and were wetter than others— 1

sickness could no longer interfere with
mental concentration.

The large party who had been left
at Yongt. street dock, because there
was not enough room in the launches,
had arrived by trolley car, and stood
now upon the wooden steps of the

down from the sky line above. Those
in the launches out beyond the white

hardy Canadian boatmen from Humber
Bay put off again in their skiffs and
returned to the anchored launches.

With swelling hearts the scientists
gazed on the noble Scarboro Bluff and
native architecture of the Dutch
Church for perhaps the last time. They:
had come so far, and now, after only
a few minutes' acquaintance, at a
range of 100 yards, they were leaving,
it might be, forever! Anchots were
tripped, the engines/were started, and
the launches slowly turned awa.y. The
cliffs receded, the sands of prehistoric
Iroquois Bake faded, the beaches glid¬
ed by, Fisherman’s Island passed, and
the boats turned again at evening into
the Eastern Gap, with the purple pro¬
file of the city of church spires, chim¬
neys, and water tanks forming the
northern horizon. And once within the
harbor calm, science asserted itself.

“It astonishes me,” observed the Am¬
erican professor from a college in

’there is no smoke, "it astonishes me
why a city like Toronto does not insist
on smoke consumers.”

FALLS, AND CREDIT

Geologists Do Not Agree on
the Origin of Credit
Formation.

PROF. PARKS’ THEORY

Caledon Club Proves Hospitable
—Falls Made the Visitors
Forget Geology.

At the Geological Congress this morn¬
ing most of the members were still
arguing about the things the.y had \
seen on the various excursions which
were made yesterday. One party had
gone to Scarboro Bluffs, another to,
the Don Valley, another to the Forks |
of the Credit, and a fourth to Niagara
Falls.

The Niagara Falls party was undei
the guidance of Professor Coleman, of
the University. Those who were in¬
terested in the geology of th ® re ^‘ on
left on th 7.30 boat in the morning,
and spent some time along the gorge
route on the American side, examining
the formation there. There was
siderable discussion over the various
theories advanced to explain the ori¬
gin of the formation. The greater
number of members, however, \gnored
o-eoiogy and became for the time being,
ordinary human beings with an eye
for the grandeur of the mere s cenl „

, tects. These crossed on the J
o'clock boat, and proceeded direct to
the falls, going up the gorge on one
side of the river and down on the other
side. Many of them donned rubbe
coats and went under the falls and ou
. oc Maid of the Mist. They re¬
turned by late boats, weary but stil
.Bering at the beauty rl the great
falls.

At Forks of the Credit.

The party to the Forks of the Credit
was headed by Dr. W. A. Parks, of the
University. There were about 25 left
,. y the 7.30 C. P. ft. train, returning
at 9 20, having been entertained me«in-
ini at the Caledon Club.

Interest on this excursion centred

in the theory advanced by Dr. Parks 1
and Professor Schuchert, of Yale Uni¬
versity, that the formation known as
n.e ( ataract seems to Indicate an in
vasion from a Western ocean which
has lapped over the strat. which in- |

o .'u inis country from the vicinity I
of New York. It is, the geologists say. j
a question as to the mevements of the !
seas. • . |

Prof. I'lric, of Washington, rejected '
the Parks-Schuchert theory, and a dis- I
vussion of interest—to geologists— en¬
sued. Some of the party refused to
pursue, science for the day, and re¬
mained in the comfortable quarters of
the Caledon Club, whose officers af¬
terward came in for the heartiest 1
thanks from the party for their hos¬
pitality.

This morning certain technical pa¬
pers are still being read, but the pro¬
gram approaches an end, and to-mor¬
row will see the conclusion of the
congress.

The Scarboro Heights Party.

A representative of the univer¬
sity was in charge of the party
of 64 who went in launches to
Scarboro Heights yesterday afternoon.
A larger number of members turned
up atYonge street dock than had re- i
gistered for the trip, and consequently
had not been provided for. The. three
launches were filled to capacity. About
thirty of those who could not' find
room aboard journeyed to Scarboro
by street car.

The leader of the party described the
interglacial layers of the cliff, as vis¬
ible from the boat^ to one group. Prof.
Kay, of Iowa, a graduate of Toronto
University, performed a like service
for the smaller boat; and Mr. H. L.
Kerr, of the university mine at Cobalt,
looked after the duties of guide for
the third. Stratified sands, gravels,
and clays are interlain by instratified
glacial clays. Four glacial drifts are
visible above the lake level, with in¬
terglacial beds between. The lake
was very rough, and landing extreme¬
ly difficult.

Water Was Quite Rough,

The party in the main contented it¬
self with viewing the cliffs frojn some
distance out in the lake. Two small
rowboats, which made a landing, left
two of the ladies and several of, the
others on shore, but they were wet
somewhat by the breakers in making

v > ( • •

i. morale Prep a lions Have Been lVIacie to Entertain Dis¬
tinguished Visitors—Hon. Louis Coderre Will Repre¬
sent Dominion Government — Numerous Trips Were
Made Yesterday-.

Canada's appreciation of the visit
paid to the Dominion and Toronto by
the geologists who chose the Queen
City as the meeting place for t.heir
12th International congress, will take
the form of a farewell banquet, which
■will be held In the armories tonight.

Yesterday was excursion day, and
therefore a day of pleasure for most
of the foreign geologists. For the
Canadian geologists, however, it was
a day of .business, not pleasure. About
600 guests are expected to attend the
.banquet in the armories tonight.

On decorations alone—decorations in
this sense Including orchestra, etc.—
$1500 has been spent on the armories.
To the man In the street 'this sum may
seem extravagant, if he forgets to
think of the advertising that Canada
has got thru the congress. The gov¬
ernment, however, has not forgotten
that it is in debt to the congress and
tonight it will make a payment on the
debt.

Coderre to Speak.

Hon. Eouis Coderre, bilingualist,
and possibly tr i li usual is ts, has
been entrusted to represent the
Dominion Government, while Hon. W.
H. Hearst, minister of lands, forests
and mines, will represent Ontario. The
banquet will be almost strictly a geo¬
logical affair, and all the invited guests
are geological fiends. The list of speak¬
ers is not yet complete, but it Is al¬
ready so large that a time limit of
three minutes has been adopted. It Is
expected that 100 women will be pre¬
sent, most of whom are wives of the
visiting geologists.

The following will -stt at the head

Visited Niagara Falls.

No less than five tflps were made by
the geologists yesterday. Up bright
and early, a party of 100 left on the
7.30 o’clock boat for Niagara Falls and
one hour and a half later they were
followed by a second party, the mem¬
bers of which have an antipathy for
early rising. This party was even
larger than the one on the first boat^
but never caught up to the early birds^
The view of the fails from the Cana¬
dian side made the geologists catch
their breath and they lingered on the
brink of the precipice for more than
an hour. Some of them then took a
trip in the Maid of the Mist, after
which they returned to Queenston by
the gorge route on the American side.

Up Credit Valley.

Another trip which was popular with
the geologists was the excursion to
the Credit River. At 7.20 a.m. the
party left Union Station and the fore¬
noon was spent In examining the
Silurian strata at the forks of the
river. At 1 o'clock the party were
taken in motor cars to the Caledon
Trout Club, where limchAm was serv¬
ed, and after luncheon the trip :o
Caledon East was continued. The
.party arrived at the Union
Station on the . return about
10.30, and many bag's of rock were
hauled oft the train by'the. scientists.

Trips which were shorter and less
fatiguing than those already mention¬
ed, tho no less pleasureable, were those
made in the morning to the Don Val¬
ley Brick Yards, and In the afternoon
to Scarboro Heights by boat. Many
prehistoric fossils ^were collected both

in the Don Valley and at Scarboro.

Today Constable Christie of Toronto
University will conduct two parti** on
a tour of the univereity buildings and
the new museum. Constable Christie
says-that the visiting university pro¬
fessors, and particularly those from
Germany, the land of universities, find
it hard to believe that Toronto Uni¬
versity has so many up-to-date build¬
ings. As they move from one building
to another they manifest their sur¬
prise in the same old question: “Is this
a university building, too?" Constable
Christie replies, “Yes, this is another,"
and then they enter to investigate.

the various excursions to .point's of in¬
terest arranged iby the congress 1 .

In the morning a .party of 60, un¬
der the guidance of Professor Cole¬
man, spent three Lours in the Don
Valley, where they inspected the in-
terglaJcdal evidences ir. the clay de¬
posits, proceeding after lunch to see
the glacial and interglacial effects in
the cliffs of Soarboro Heights.

Another party left a:t 7.20 a.m. for
Credit River to Inspect the fossils in
the rook exposed at the quarries and
by the river. This parity was .con¬
ducted iby Dr. Parks, of Toronto Uni¬

versity, and accompanied toy Dr.
Schuchert, of Yaile, iboth these gentle¬
men 'being iresponsilhle for tlhe dis¬
tinguishing of the cataract formation,

ered there about 18 months ago.

There were also two excursions to
Niagara Falls toy tlhe 7.30 and 9
lo’dloek boats. A point of the deepest j
interest studied by the visitors was
the wearing away of the Gorge from
Queenston to the Falls as .they stand
at present, w,h.i.ch is regarded toy geo¬
logists as one of the authoritative
gauges of tlhe passage of time in a
geological sense.

Under the guidance of Professor
DteiSdhaimips, the geologists wihio re¬
mained i.n .Toronto made a complete

tour of Toronto University, and spent
several hours in examining the vari¬
ous buildings. Others visited the new
Royal Ontario Museum at the corner'
of Bloor Street and Avenue Road,
which is not yet open to the public,
and expressed their admiration for
the arrangement of the exhibits and
tlhe .convenient plan o.f the 'building.

familiar with the Silurian, as it shows
the total absence of the Rochester

the Niagara River. The party had an j
enjoyable time, and were entertained I

were to the Don Valley and Niagara

Party at Royal Muskoka.

“These excursions are one of the
most enjoyable features of the Con¬
gress,’’ said one of the delegates from
Africa. “You meet with such a var¬
iety of opinions that it is most re¬
freshing.’’ In the party which left
for Muskoka on Saturday there were

ed Some Very Human
Experiences

There were many disappointed geolo¬
gists yesterday at the Y'onge street
wharf. When Prof. Coleman gave his
address before, the Congress the other
day upon the “Interglacial Periods’’
as pertaining to the Toronto dis¬
trict, he impressed all the visitors
with his illuminating talk, . and the
opportunity to visit the district which
he had described was eagerly looked
forward to by the geologists. The
consequence was that the excursion, States, two from Belgium, seven from

v_ ,, , , - Canada, one from Holland, three from

were left behind on the wharf. The
occasion brought forth a demonstra¬
tion of unselfishness on the part of
those who had registered and who
were perfectly willing to give up
their places to those who had not-
registered. Many ladies who had not
registered were simply made to take
places in the three launches provid¬
ed, and eventually the excursion left
nearly an hour late. The remainder
immediately left for Scarboro’ by
street car.

Neptune Bested Scientists.

The trip down was made in good
time, although the smallest of the
three launches had a rough time in
the rolling waters of the lake. The
voyage was most enjoyable in spite of
the tossing, and many exchanges
were bandied about concerning sailing
capabilities. “I would hate anything
to happen,” said one gentleman in
the big launch. “They have such
splendid meals at Queen’s Hall,” he
added, amid laughter. Alas! al¬
though a geologist may be a hardened
specimen of humanity in many ways,
Father Neptune has but to bestir him¬
self and the best of them feel it;
consequently—but let the veil be
drawn; who has not suffered some
time or the other?

The exhibits collected at the. Royal
Ontario Museum are attracting a
great deal of attention. The speci¬
men of the “Platicarpus Corphacus”
is one which brings forth much com¬
ment. To the lay mind the fact that
such a specimen belongs to the Juras¬
sic period may not mean much, but
when he is told that the- age may be
anything from eight to twelve mil¬
lion years he moves his eyebrows.
There is a magnificent specimen of
the “Pseudastacus Pustulosus Munat”
from Solenhafen, Bavaria. This is a
medium between a crustacean and a
bird. It looks for all the world like
a lobster, but it has a pair of big
wings which are shown almost to per¬
fection. It is probably one of the
first of living animals. The speci¬
mens of native gold from Porcupine
are splendid examples. The different
periods with most of their peculiari¬
ties are illustrated by fine exhibits,
and a specimen of the Eocene per¬
iod with two fishes are without flaw,
every bone showing out clearly.

Cost of the Congress.

The cost of the Congress, estimated
at $7 5,000, was made up principally
of the following amounts:

The Dominion Government gave
$15,000 in cash and a guarantee; the
Ontario Government, $7,000; Quebec,

$5,000; British Columbia, $5,000;

Nova Scotia, $2,500. The Coniagas
Mine of Cobalt donated $1,000, the
Canadian Copper Company $500, the

Mond Nickel Company $500, the Hoi- — - -_ —

linger of Porcupine $500. Some 350
smaller amounts make up the rest of
the total.

Both Registered

as Men of Letters

It was on the former Geo¬
logical visit to Cobalt, and the
party were lounging around
the office of the hotel. A man
came in and registered and
put the letters M. E. after his
name. An old miner addressed
the new arrival, and after some
conversation found out that the
letters did not stand for the
usual “Mining Engineer,” but
for “Mining Expert.”

“I have had a lot of experi¬
ence in digging,” said the new
arrival.

“I think I have had more
than you,” retorted the old
man. “I used to dig graves.”
And he promptly went and put
the mystic letters after his own
name on the register.

Fortunately the university affords a
means for doing some honor to
prominent men of science who \ isit
•Ontario, tho such honors cannot
be bestowed indiscriminately, or the
conferring of degrees would defeat its
own object. Indeed, criticism .is often
directed against the selections made
at the annual convocations. No mis¬
take has been made in the selection
of the gentlemen upon whom the uni¬
versity will confer, honoris causa,
degrees this afternoon. The list
could easily be extended from the 1
ranks of the eminent visiting geolo¬
gists. but all are representative men
who have been singled out to bear tl;e
compliments thus indirect:,v paid to j
their colleagues.

The seven wiso men are not of
Greece but of seven other representa¬

Straiian. F.R.S., is assistant director
of the Geological Survey of England
and Wales. M. Termier is dlrecteur
du service do la Carte Geologique de
la France. Prof. Chamberlain has at¬
tained prominence for his novel
theories of the origin of the planet¬
ary systems. Prof. Saderhohn is
director of the Finland survey and a
specialist in archaean rocks. Our
own Dr. Willett G. Miller is the mm
who put the alt in Cobalt, and wor¬
thily represents Canadian science.
Messrs. Richard Beck and Theodosius
Tshermyschew are equally represen¬
tative of Germany and Russia.

FOR NEXT MEETING

World's Agricultural Resour-
ces to Be Discussed at Bel-

. t

gium Conference.

CANADIAN ORGANIZERS

Deelgates Pay Tribute to Our
Business Methods—Don

Valley Deposits.

\ - ■—

For the next four years the geologists
of Belgium, the country which will have
the International Geological Congress in
1917, will spend their time In preparing
a chart and atlas of the agricultural re¬
sources of the world. This decision was
arrived at yesterday when the council
met to consider the question of a topic
for discussion In 1917.

Some of the foreign geologists who are
at present in Canada, consider that the
study of agricultural deposits of the
world is the most important branch of
geology and by far the most important
branch yet to be investigated. Owing to
the fact that large territories of agricul¬
tural land have been discovered within
the last ten years in Canada, South Africa
and Australia, there is as yet no accurate
compilation of the agricultural resources
of the world, and the council was of the
opinion that this would form a very
suitable subject for discussion at the next
congress.

Another reason for the decision to in¬
vestigate the world’s agricultural re¬
sources is the attention at present being
directed by political economists all over
the world to the high cost of living. The
geologists believe that if they can collect
lull details on the grain growing land re¬
sources of the world, the march from the
cities to the land will be strengthened
and the price of food commodities will
be kept closer to the earth.

Another Topic.

Another topic that will be discussed In
1917 will be the nitrate, phosphate and
soda deposits of the world. As these
three chemical compounds form the basis
of all fertilizers, the research to be con¬
ducted by the scientists will be of great
Importance to the subject of agriculture.

Besides these topics the Belgium Coun¬
cil will be at liberty to consider two
others which were suggested by the coun¬
cil. These are the world's copper de¬
posits and petroleum resources.

All day yesterday the Belgian dele¬
gates were busy studying the method
employed In carrying out the program of
the present congress.

R. VV. Brock, general secretary of the
Canadian Council, states that many of the
foreign geologists have complimented
the executive officers of the Canadian
Council on the organization of the con¬
gress.

, "They seem to think that Canadians
cannot be beaten as organizers,” said Mr.
Brock.

In referring to the trip taken to the
Don Valley on Tuesday, Dr. Horne of
the Scotch Geological Survey, stated that
the glacial and late deposits that are to
be seen in the Don Valley are the finest
in the world. "The excursion to the Don
Valley alone was worth a trip across the
Atlantic,” he said.

LADY GEOLOGISTS PAID VISIT
TO WOM EN’S A RT ASSOCIATION

Large Studios in Jarvis Street Building Were Plethoric
With Samples of Home and Foreign Workmanship —

Fine Specimens of Indian

A number of the ladies attached to
the party of geologists now. in town
visited the headquarters of the Wo¬
men’s Art Association, on Jarvis street,
yesterday. The large studios were ple¬
thoric with various samples of home
and foreign make along the lines in
which the members of the society em¬
ploy themselves, and evidences of su¬
perior skill were everywhere apparent.

. The stores and studio are in charge
of Miss Stewart-

Later, Mrs. Dignam, president of the
association from the beginning until
the present, took The World's repre¬
sentative on a tour of inspection of
the many delightful things displayed
ou -the walls and in the cases, ' and
gave some interesting particulars as
to tne origin of the work of tne asso¬
ciation.

"we are 27 years in existence," said
Mrs. D.gnam, "and we are the only
society in any way like to ourselves
Who have a home in Toronto, a home
t-or ourselves and a place to which we
can welcome others. This we never
fail to do. We have welcomed and
introduced into Canada Englisn,
Scotch. Dutch. American and Cana-
th:.:; artists who have come to us. We
ha'-'id also employed them as teachers,
ana in this way helped to broaden our
knowledge and assist in building up
the highest form of patriotism."

As the’ president spoke she was
hind ling some of the dainty laces
lying on a case near. "Here," she said,
"are laces made by our own people."
Crocheting, tine enougn to be a marvel;
Maltese, beautiful in design, poin.te,
duchess, antique, punta-in-aria, ma-
crame—all were shown. Macrame, it
'Va.s explained, goes back to the time
lof the Egyptians, knotted lace being
Iprior to all others.

Then there was .basketry. Beautiful
and far beyond anything one could
conceive of. judging from the speci-

I mens usually seen in the stores. The
weave of the baskets was so close as
io defy even a ray of sunlight, and so

I firm and durable as easily to last a
lifetime, even of the length of the al¬
lotted thrce-score-and-ten. These dif¬
ferent specimens were mostly of In¬
dian manufacture from Alaska, Queen
Charlotte Island and the Fraser and
Columbia Rivers.

Delight to the Eye.

Canadian liome-spuns in many
shades and colors, and of various tex-‘
tures. were a delight to the eye. from
Quebec there were immense plaidls
that npight.be used as quilts, portieres
or rugs. Soft greens blended beauti¬
fully wi:h white and scarlet; others in
bltie. brown and white. Rose and
coral, with tufting in the s*ne shade,
or with a contrasting color, were most
attractive. Heredity was shown in the
plaids, accounted for by Mrs. Dignam
thru the great mixture of Scotch arid
French in Quebec.

Costume lengths, all hand-spur ar.J
made from the pure wool, came in for
special comment. One in golden brown
wi:ii raised line.s of tufting, was espe¬
cially charming. They will last for

Basketry Attracted Visitors.

jears and the possessor of one of
those Canadian homespun costumes
might well be envied.

Glazed pottery, mostly In green, is
another pet stock of the Women’s Art.
Jugs, vases, cases of various sizes, are
.each and all in their high polish and
pretty shading a delight to the artistic
eye.

Book-binding in leather, wood carv¬
ing and the making and designing of
different articles of jewelry, are othe 1 '
lines illustrating the art of Canada's
women. Among these was ft beauti¬
ful pendant in hammered silver in
which a big turquoise is set. This
with the chain to which it is attached,
are the work of Miss Lindsay. Another
neck ornament in purple, enamel and
stones was done by Mrs. Robert Sin¬
clair. A silver crucifix, a salt cellar
and spoon in the same metal and a
coral head set in deep yellow gold,
were among the wonderful things
handled and admired by The .World
during the tour of the rooms.

Cease to Ce Art.

"Will these things ever have a high
commercial value?” was a rather
thoughtless interrogation, which re¬
ceived from Airs. Digman the answer,
"when things become commercialized
I hey cease to be art."

The association has interchange with
the kindred endeavors of the Duchess
of Sutherland, and some of the Scotch
home spun wools in green, violets and
soft blues are now in the assortment
on Jarvis. A collection for the
National Exhibition is now being pre¬
pared and an opportunity will be given
then to see the latest in the enter¬
prises of this most valuable and per- I
severing institution.

From the branch in Toronto, there
have sprung up others in Hamilton.
St. Thomas, Peterboro, Owen Sound,
Edmonton, and Mrs. Dignam has many
kind words for those children that
have come from the parent stem.

Lectures, musieales and clubs for the
various departments, teas for the mem¬
bers. are all part of the curri¬
culum in the winter months.

The association gave to the ceramic
world of the Dominion, an impetus un¬
precedented. when it set itself the
task of making the famous historic
set which now has place in the hall
of Haddo House. The paintings of
his.?(trie scenes and places, flowers
and game, were two years in being
produced, the selections and artists
being from all over Canada. The china
background was white and gold Doni-
tbn, and when completed, the set was
bought at the artist’s prices by the
senate and house of commons, and pre¬
sented to Lady Aberdeen.

Association's Aims.

To quote from a short historical
sketch of the society by Miss Florence
Deeks: “The purpose of the as¬

sociation is not commercial, hut tnru
the awakening of public intelligence
upon the subject of urt, its aim is to
stir artistic impulse, educate arlstic
ability, promote, artistic growth and
produce artistic accomplishment, a
condition which is being surely attain¬
ed by the united and presevering ef¬
forts of its members, by labor and
constancy."

The large tent in the armories last’
night for the banquet of the Interna¬
tional Geological Congress was very

The Geological Banquet

=18

Not since the supper of the great
R- C. Y. C. ball in honor of their
Royal Highnesses the Duke and
Duchess of Connaught in the Armor¬
ies, has there been seen such a
charming and brilliant effect as that
of the banquet given by the President
and Executive Committee of the
Twelfth Geological Congress last
night in the Armories. The great
&paee at the east end was taken up
by a large marquee, with the walls
banked with tall evergreens, the
floor covered with soft green carpet,
on Which were numbers of small
tables seating ten and twelve, and a
long head table for the President and
the most distinguished guests, who
were called by name by Mr. Leckie
in splendid voice, each passing rapid¬
ly into their seats, others following
in perfectly arranged order to their
own tables. The whole effect was of
brilliant red, the decorations being
centres of magnificent gladioli, with
red and silver and gold (quite appro¬
priate) shaded lights. The menu,
an excellent one in every respect,
was in large size, tied with deep blue.’
The toast of "His Majesty
the King" was proposed by
the President, who could lie
heard in all parts; "IT. R. H. the
Duke of Connaught, Governor-Gen¬
eral, and the Duchess of Connaught,"
brought a few words gracefully ex¬
pressed by Hon. Air. Coderre, Minis¬

ernor of Ontario” followed, and the
delightful entertainment was a most
happy close to the past week of
happy and interesting meetings, both
scientific and personal. Mrs. Adams

who have had the privilege of know¬
ing the popular wife of the kindly
and dignified President.

“LONG LIVE CANA
OF GEOLOGISTS

Delegates to International
Conference Entertained at
Armories—Scientists Show
That They Can Appreciate
Pleasures of Festal Board-
All Pleased With the Do¬
minion.

"When science fling's by tb* robe£ of
her asceticism and turns for relief to
the courts of festivity, then Indeed
does life flow in free and pleasant chan¬
nels- So with the world’s Geological
Congress turning last evening from the
strain and dlnn of the convention hall
to the banqueting board, the whole
spirit of the occasion was one of pas¬
time. Books were abandoned; research
forgotten. For an evening the earth
turned on its axis and the secrets of Its
crust lay unprobed.

A Notable Spectacle.

In Divers Tongues,

Many-tongued were the speeches de¬
livered, and yet they all harmonized in
the expressions of good-fellowship and
Internationa! peace.

In responding to the toast to His Royal
Highness the Duke of Connaught, Gov¬
ernor-General of Canada. Hon. Louis
Coderre, minister of mines, for the Do¬
minion. expressed his regret at the un¬
avoidable absence of the Duke of Con¬
naught, and expressed his thanks at the
sympathy voiced by the foreign scientists
for the Duchess of Connaught in her ill¬
ness.

He presumed that if the Duke of Con¬
naught had been present he would have
been pleased to have the opportunity to
congratulate Canada on the successful
congress that had been held.

The World’s Peace.

In concluding, he predicted that. th*
fruit of the congress would be revealed
in the effort made by all nations to pre¬
serve the peace of the world.

“The fruit which this congress will
leave behind it,’’ said Mr. Coderre. “will
be for the glory, the peace, and the wel¬
fare not only of Canada but of the whole
world.”

When Mr. Coderre sat down Mr. Black

dealt with the subject which was dear
to the hearts of all those present—the
subject of geology.

A Century Ago.

One hundred years ago the science was
Just beginnlngto walk, but today it boast¬
ed a voluminous literature and a bril¬
liant assembly of the clever men of the
world. At the banquet 46 different coun¬
tries were represented, he said, and never
before had so many men and women of
high distinction been gathered on this
continent.

‘"to these,” he said, "this toast is pro¬
posed. Your attendance hero* tonight
shows the international importance of
Canada. Canada Is now a nation, and
she has opened her heart and her re¬
sources to you."

All Responded.

Mr. Lindsay then called upon repre¬
sentatives of the different, countries to
reply to the toast, and among those who
responded were Dr. Aubrey Strahan of
London, England; Dr. Stelnman of Ger-
I man, Dr. Termier of France, Dr Tlesze
of Austria, Dr. Chogran of Sweden, Dr.
Renier of Belgium, Dr. Fermer of India,,
Dr. Tchernyschen of Russia and Prof.
Chamberlin of the United States The
different speakers spoke in their mother
tongues, and also ip English, and it was
after one o'clock this morning before
they ended in their extol&tion of Can¬
ada.

Geologists Guests
Of German Consul

German Members of Congress Enter¬
tained by J. Henry Peters.

The German Consul, Mr. J. Henry

In many senses it was a soul-stirring
picture to watch—that of a ®ea of
thinking faces glowing in the pleasures
of international good fellowship. Faces
burned brown beneath the winds and
suns of every clime tad wrinkled with
intellectual devotion to the pursuit of
a splendid study, alike were cleared of
signs of a week's application, and mer¬
riment reigned Instead. Minds focused
for life from a score of different stand¬
points upon one great scientific goal
turned as quickly to the Joys the night
could bring forth.

The spirit of enthusiasm which
thrills a large congregation at any
such period was heightened by the
international nature of the assembly.
It was literally “hands round th®
world,” and the fact that 500 dele¬
gates gathered in from all corners of
the globe and irrespective of creed or
prejudice, should find a mutual pleas¬
ure contributed unusual zest.

Learned Discussion.

Bloating up from different sections
of the arena could be distinguished
snatches of learned conversation on
occasion, but the whole merged into
that pleasing jargon of voices, clink¬
ing of china and ripple of laughter
which is peculiar alone to the de¬
lights of the festive board.

Here, as one aptly described it, sit- |
ting in Canada “upon the geological
backbone of the world” representa¬
tives of all her serious-minded stu¬
dents were holding seasonable con¬
clave.

The addresses, in general were in¬
terpretative of t.he great store of
knowledge bound up usually in tech-
'HidaL terms. Some wtere epigram¬
matic and lit with sparkle and humor.

.All were interesting and apprect-!
ated to the lost, degree. Every voice
| and every’ tongue blended in the ax»-
! cented shout; “Long Live Canada.”

sang “Oh Canada” in English, and Hon.
W. H. Hearst then rose to reply to the
toast to ‘‘The Lieutenant-Governor of
Ontario,’’ Sir John Gibson, who was busy
celebrating the centennial in Hamilton.

Mr. Hearst explained the Canadian
constitution to the foreign geologists,
and after paying his hearers many com¬
pliments he turned his thought to On- i
tario and her unbounded resources.

“In Ontario,” said the minister, “we
feel that there is a great field for re¬
search—that no place holds greater re¬
wards for the seeker after truth than
our own Province of Ontario. The doors
of the Province of Ontario will ever be
open to you, and on behalf of the prov¬
ince I wish you a happy time during the
remainder of your congress.”

Quebec’s Resources.

Hon. Charles Devlin, minister of colo¬
nization, mines and fisheries for Quebec,
said that it was the first time he ever
attempted a speech in French in Toronto,
and ,then went on to show “en Fran-
ca.ts” that Quebec’s mineral resources
were as world-renowned as those of On¬
tario. He was confident that the geolo¬
gists had not been disappointed in their
visit to Canada, and in closing express¬
ed the regret that the nevt visit to Can¬
ada would likely be kept back for years.

After Mr. Devlin came Dr. Frank D.^
Adams, the president of the congress,’
with three brilliant speeches, the best in
English and the other two in French and
German. In English he glorified Canada
as the “paradise for geologists.”

There were virgin fields in this country
for every branch of geological research,
and the rocks of the Dominion contained
every constituent member of the geologi¬
cal column. The adequate study of the
subject would occupy the present generu-
tions and many of the generations which
would follow the present tribe. The mo¬
nograph prepared on coal resources of
the world showed that the United States
was first In this line; but, better than
that, it showed that Canada occupied the
proud position of being second, and a
fighting second, at that.

Our Sliver Camp.

Beside* coal, the Dominion had the
greatest silver camp, in Cobalt, and some
of the greatest copper camps. He refer¬
red to the annual immigration of 300.000,
which, be said, was double the immigra^
tion of the United StateB In her palmiest
days, and concluded by prophesying that
the future development of the country
would be greater than the imlgination of 1
the biggest optimist in the country.

Possibly the most wholesome speech of
the whole evening was that of G. G. S.
Lindsay, K.C., of the coal resources com¬
mittee. Mr. Lindsay responded to the
toast to the visiting delegates and mem¬
bers, and was most happy in his remarks.
After opening with a humorous reference
to Prof. Coleman of the •“coal age,” he

Peters, entertained at luncheon the
German delegates to the International
I Geological Congress in the beautiful
banquet hall of the German Club, 41
Isabella Street. Present were the Drs.
Andree, Beck, Belowisky, Bergeat,
Boeck, Fischer, Freeh and -wife, from
Breslau; Guerich, Haniel, Kayser,
Iveidel, from Buenos Ayres; Krusch,
Lachmann, Lueck, Mayer, from San¬
tiago, Chili; Milch, Mitscherlich,
Paulecke, Pompeckj, Miss Kathgen,
Riedel, Schenk, Schulze, Geheimrat
Steinmann, Stille, Stolley, Tilmann,
Weigand, Weise, Welter, Wolff. Among
! the local guests were; H. Greeff, Gerh.
t Heintzmann, Emil Nerlich, Otto
Palm, Dr. A. C. Redderoth, F.
Schnaufer, H. Simmers, Dr. Vogt, D.
Weismiller, F. W. Weiss, Carl Zeidler
and others.

The luncheon was a very jovial af¬
fair. Short addresses were made by
Herr Geheimrat Steinmann, of Bonn,
president of the delegation; Mr.
Peters, the Consul, and Mr. Emil Ner¬
lich, president of the German Club.

After luncheon a pietuie was taken
of the party grouped in front of the
club-house.

DELEGATES DINED

German Scientists Entertained at
Deutscher Verein

Under the two flags of Great
Britain and Germany, the German
delegates to the Geological Congress
were entertained at dinner yester¬
day at the Deutscher Verein on Isa¬
bella street, by Mr. J. Henry Peters,
the German Consul. Following the
national custom the speech-making
was informal, and an exchange of
compliments was the chief feature of
the gathering, Professorr Steinmann
replying to the welcome of the Con¬
sul by expressing the hope that Cana¬
da would see the geologists ‘ again.
Some fifty guests were at. dinner, in¬
cluding over twenty prominent Ger¬
man citizens of Toronto. The menu
was replete with the various dishes
which make Germany renowned

NOTABLE ASSEMBLY

Five Hundred Geologists
Attend Official Banquet
of the Congress.

DISTINGUISHED GUESTS

Delegates Prepare for Wind¬
up of the Twelfth Inter¬
national Congrefes.

Brains enough to do the whole
world's thinking and not develop a
headache were 'collecte.d 'at onie long
taM© within a tent in tlhie Toronto
Armories last evening. It was the
official banquet in connection with the
12t)h International Geological Con¬
gress, now 4m session here, and there
were present, to use thie words of
thie chairman, five hundred mem, thie
mast eminent savants of an enri'inent
scdiemioa, whose dike was never before
aeiern in this city, and a gathering
pnoibalbly never surpassed in any city.
Apart. from the noted geologists at
the high table, the party included,
among other diistinguii'shied Canadians,
the Ministers of Mines of the Domdn- J
ion and of two provinces, and the
president of the largest university in
the country. There were many wo¬
men in the assembly.

There were over a score of speeches
made during the evening in several
different languages. Soane of the
orations were light and frothy, others
were technical and abstruse, but most
of them followed a safe middle path
between the two extremes.

Dr. Frank D. Adams, the president
of tfhe congress, who acted 'as chair- j
man and toastmaster, welcomed the
visiting delegates in .English, French
and German.

He sketched) the attractions of
Canada from the geologist’s point of
view, mentioning in particular her
vast coal deposits and the nickel and
silver mines in Northern Ontario^
Thie study of Canada’s minerals, he
said, would occupy the attention of
generatiioins of geologists yet un¬
known.

Responds for the Duke.

Hon, Louis Coderre, Federal Sec¬
retary of State and Minister of Mines,
spoke to the toast of the Governor -
General in the absence of the Duke of
Connaught. In paying a tribute to
his Royal Highness Mr. Coderre said
that the Duke had “stepped away
from the foot of the throne to bring
Royalty in contact with the people of
Canada.” The Minister referred ap¬
preciatively to the Duke's arduous task
in personally visiting every part of
the Dominion, and voiced the grati¬
tude of Canadians at the convalescence
of the Duchess. 'J

*Jl*

Hon. W. H. Hearri, Minister of
Lands, Forests and Minos for Ontario,
briefly explained, for the visitors bene¬
fit, the division of responsibl y be
tween the Federal and Provincial Got
ernments. Referring to Ontario’s po¬
sition in the sphere of geologj, he re
marked, “X feel that in this province
nature has hidden some of hergreaty
treasures; that no place to the world

zatior. Mines and Fisheries for Quebec
spoke for his province in a witty speeci
to French, the first in that tongue, he
said, which he had had an opportunity
to deliver in Toronto.

An Influence for Peace,

The toast of the visiting delegates was
proposed by G. G. S, Lindsey, K.C., who
remarked that he had been selected or
that duty as a “junior specimen of th
age interglacial, in preference to the old
fossils,’’ because, he supposed, - youths
rush in where old men fear to tread. Mi •
Lindsey said he had a .great respect for
the earth on account of its venerable age;
it was a good old earth, full of informa¬
tion, and full of rocks. The delegates,
in his view, came to Canada not only as
preachers of geology, ^t as preachers of
the gospel of peace. “These meetings and
their like," he said, “are what make tor
universal peace,” and for that reason he
hoped they would come again some day.
for the gospel of peace was the greatest

of all gospels.

Those who were called on to speaK in
behalf of the visiting delegates included:—

Dr Aubrey Strachan, Great Britain; Dr.
Stelnman, Germany; Dr. Termier, France;

Dr Tietze, Austria, past president of the
congress; Dr. Sjoegren. Sweden; Dr.
Renter, Belgium; Dr. Fermor, India; Dr.
Baldacci, Italy; Dr. Inouye, Japan; Pro¬
fessor Chamberlain, United States. Each
of these gentlemen made a brief speech,
four or five languages being employed by
them.

The banquet was held in a large tent
within the main hall of the Armories,
the interior being brilliantly lighted and
decorated with evergreens massed along
the walls. Music was furnished by the
band of the 10th Royal Grenadiers, which
played in the gallery at the other end of
the Armories. The novel feature of the pro- |
ceedings was the heralding of the several ,
toasts by a bugler stationed behind the
president's chair. Several baritone selec- |
tions were rendered during the evening
by James Cuyler Black.

The announcement was made by
Dr, Adams that , Dr. W. G.
Miller, who will receive the degree of doc¬
tor of law3 from the University of To¬
ronto, is shortly to be presented with a
portrait of himself as a token of apprecia¬
tion from the mining men of Ontario.

Reassembled for Lectures.

Refreshed by their various excur¬
sions on Tuesday, the delegates to the
congress reassembled yesterday morn¬
ing ajt the University Bnil dings for iihe
continuance of the series of lectures.
A*t 9 o’clock there was a meeting of the
council in the main building, wihen the
I Belgian delegates were made acquaint¬
ed with some of the details of man¬
agement, in view of the next meeting
in Brussels in 1917. The principal
topics to be discussed at the next ses¬
sion will probably be “The Nitrate,
Phosphate and Soda Deposits of the
World,” “The World’s Copper Depos¬
its,” and “Our Petroleum Resources.”

Yesterday’s lectures dealt exclusive-
j ly with the pre-Cambrian period, the
i morning’s programme embracing ad¬
dresses by Mr. J. J. Sedertioim, of Hel¬
singfors, Finland, on the “Different
Types of Pre-Cambrian Unconformi¬
ties”; by Mr. Grenville Cole, Dublin.
Ireland, on “Illustrations of the For¬
mation of Composite Gneisses and Am¬
phibolites in North-west Ireland,” and
by Mr. G. F. Matthew, St. John, N.B.,
on the “Cambrian and Pre-Cambrian
in the Maritime Provinces of Canada.”

In the afternoon the proceedings
were opened by Dr. Strahan, Assistant
Director of the Geological Survey of
Great Britain, who read a paper on
“The Subdivisions and Correlation of
the Pre-Cambrian Rocks of the British
Isles.” Professor Andrew Lawson, of
the University of California, followed
with an elaborate address advocating
“A Standard Scale for the Pre-Cam¬
brian Rooks of North America.” Sir
T. H. Holland, of Manchester, Eng¬
land, spoke on geological formations in
India in their correlation to those of
other parts of the world, imctodJing
Canada, Professor Coleman, of Toron¬
to University, following with a paper
on “The Sud'biury Series and Its Bear¬
ing on Pre-Cambrian Classification.”

A general discussion on the whole
subject followed.

Inspected Clay Deposits.

Two excursions were on yesterday’s
programme of arrangements, one at
8 a.m. to iStreetsville 1 by the C.P.R.,
and the other at 2 p.m. to inspect t'he
Clay deposits near Toronto.

To-day the session will be brought
to a close at a general meeting at 10
a.m.

At four o'clock there will be a
special convocation of the University
of Toronto, for the conferring of
honorary degrees, tj be followed by a
garden party, given by the Board of
Governors of the University of To¬
ronto, in honor of the congress.

brought out provoked much merri¬
ment. However, the scientific side
was listened to with a silence which
was remarkable. If the fate of all
the nations had been trembling in the
balance there could not have been
more tension.

Would Cast Old Word Aside.

The discussion was mainly as to
the names to be applied to the various
divisions of Pre-Cambrian rocks in the
North American continent, and con¬
siderable debate took place as to the
use of the word Laurentian. Dr. A.
C. Lawson of the University of Cali¬
fornia- said : "We have discovered
what Laurentian means and now
want to throw It overboard. All I
am claiming for is a classification
of the geological system; I do not
care for the name, but I do care for
the interpretation which the scheme
implies.”

The importance of the break in the
form at the top of the Huronian was
emphasized by Dr. Lawson, who ex¬
plained it by the Eparchean interval.
This point was taken up by Dr.
Deith of Wisconsin.

Dr. Coleman of Toronto pointed
out that the name Daurentian might
well be retained for the granites in¬
truded throughout the Sudbury ser¬
ies, but clearly older than the Huron¬
ian. Dr. Deith was not inclined to
accept the Couchiching series as nec¬
essarily older than the Keewatin. The
discussion was participated in by Dr.
Sederholm of Finland; Dr. Barlow,
McGill University; Sir T. H. Gotland
of the Asiatic Society of Bengal; Prof.
G. A. J. Cole; Dr. Horne, Scotland,
and Mr. D. Fermor of the Government
of India. Dr. A. Strachan of the
Geological Survey of Great Britain
was Chairman. It was an enjoyable
afternoon, and the various speakers
met with hearty applause as they
drove home their arguments.

Mr. Lindsey's Good Work.

Mr. G. G. S. Lindsey, K. C„ the
Chairman of the Transportation Com¬
mittee, has good reason to be proud
of himself. The big C-l excursion

GEOLOGISTS ARE GRATEFUL.

Resolution of Thanks to the Contri¬
butors to Congress.

At the meeting of the International
Geological Congress to-day a resolu¬
tion was passed expressing the thanks
of the congress to the various Gov¬
ernments, the City of Toronto, the
University of Toronto, and the vari¬
ous contributors for the assistance
and entertainment afforded them in
their meetings here. Special acknow¬
ledgment was made of the work of
President Adams and Secretary R. W.
Brock.

After Closing Social Functions
Scientists Will Leave on
Excursions

With loudly applauded resolutions
of thanks to all those who had made
the gathering a success, the Twelth
International Geological Congress
closed its final meeting this morning,
and after the conferring of degrees
at Convocation and the garden party
this afternoon, the Congress will dis¬
perse until it meets four years hence
in Brussels. This evening the first ex¬
cursions leave for the Canadian West.

In moving the resolutions, Mr. G.
O. Smith declared that as a member
of the largest delegation to the Con¬
gress and coming from the United
States, Canada's nearest neighbor, he
could share the glory of the Domin¬
ion in entertaining so distinguished
a body. “Some have greatness thrust
upon us, others are born great,” he
, said, “and 1 was born within five
miles of the Canadian line.” '

Gratitude was expressed in the mo¬
tion to the Duke of Connaught for ex¬
tending his patronage, to the Federal
and Provincial Governments. the
City of Toronto, the University, the
colleges, and all those who had con¬
tributed to the success and comfort
I of the Confess. Special gratitude was
due to President Adams and General-
Secretary Brock.

M. Regnier. in a neat speech,
thanked the Congress for accepting
Belgium’s invitatipn and asked for the
co-operation of tlie members in mak¬
ing the gathering of 1917 a success.

Among the reports adopted by the
general meeting this morning wdre
those of the glacial commission and
the commission which has outlined
the plans for the new chart of the
world, with the apportionment . of
I countries to various geographers. Fol¬
lowing the lead oRthe zoological so¬
cieties, the new rules for plaeontolo-
gicai nomenclature will lie adopted
and the. geographical lexicon is to be
re-edited for the next Congress. Mr.
R. W. Brook has been made a member
of the committee, in addition, inter¬
national committees will be formed
for the purpose of correlating Pre-
Cambrian formations and drafting
constitutional by-laws for the- Con¬
gress.

NO NOISY FLAG-FLAPPING,

BUT ENTWINED EMBLEMS

Practical Evidence of the Entente Cordiale Between Briton
and Teuton at Unique Dinner in Toronto
Yesterday

It didn't seem to sound like that
terrible bogey of “menace,” and
“peril,” and “emergency” with which
politicians are wont to frighten our
loyal and peaceful Canadian citizen-
hood. It was a noteworthy and happy
gathering of distinguished Germans
in Canada’s Mecca of jingoism—an
intermingling of Anglo-Saxon and
Teuton in cordial camaraderie under
the entwined flags of King George
and the Kaiser Wilhelm.

If they had not previously felt per¬
fectly at home in Toronto, the Ger¬
man delegates to the International
Geological Congress realized complete
relaxation yesterday, when some thirty
or more of them sat down to a com¬
plimentary dinner tendered by the
German Consul, Mr. J. Henry Peters,
at Deutscher Verein, the German club
on Isabella street. In addition to the
delegates upwards of twenty pro¬
minent .German citizens of Toronto
were present.

No one was there who could not
speak the language of the Fatherland.
From the moment when the guests
filed into the well-appointed dining¬
room until left it, three hours

later, vi sr^f W-t and hosts became com¬
pletely jf0i Sorbed in the discussion of
tt^tte;|F pertaining to old Fatherland.

The menu provided was in true
German style, and it was not to be
wondered at if, for some, it was the
best-relished meal enjoyed since
leaving home. There were, of course,
the characteristic rye bread, Lim-
burger cheese, fish eggs, and the in¬
evitable German brew, besides num¬
berless little dainties only a German
chef can provide.

In keeping with the German cus¬
tom there was very little speech¬
making after the repast, but the
speakers, referring to the pleasure it
gave them to meet their scientific
brethren under the British flag, em¬
phasized the cordial relations exist¬
ing between Great Britain and Ger¬
many to-day. The German Consul
briefly bade his company welcome,
and expressed the hope that they
would return agdin to this country. ]
Professor Steinmann, replying for the
German geologists, assured all pre¬
sent that their visit to Canada would
Indeed be a memorable one in the
lives of all the delegates. Just be¬
fore rising, Mr. Emil Nerlich, Presi¬
dent of the Deutscher Verein, ex¬
pressed his happiness at having such
a distinguished company dine at his
club.

The delegates included two ladies,
Fraulein Rathgen, who recently made
a tour of exploration in Egypt, and
Mrs. Freeh, who was present with her
husband, Professor Freeh of Breslau.

MANY LADIES PRESENT

Wars and Rumors of Wars
Had No Place
There.

Under a canopy of canvas within
the castleated walls of Toronto's mili¬
tary armories, there met last night at
the banquet tables envoys from prac¬
tical^ the entire civilized world in a
feast of .fellowship. War, wair-cries,
and the rumors of war might never
have existed so far as was evidenced
by the international gathering last
night. It was one great full interna¬
tional chord of harmony Men of Ger¬
many, Japan, France, China, England,
Austria, the United States, Italy, India,
Canada, the Phillipines. and goodness
knows where else, met in the spirit of
; uni ty.

Many Ladies Present.

Nearly 500 delegates, members, and
friends, were marshaled in the ar¬
mories- When about 9 o'clock Secre¬
tary Leckie gave the word—‘’Dinner
is served," many ladies, all in full
dress, some from far countries, others
well known in the social circles of
Toronto, relieved the sombre black
and white circles at the tables, and :
the scientific solidarity of the con- i
versation.

Inside the great marquee the scene j
was one of light and brilliance. About
50 tables were spread over the floor. ]
At the south end a long table ex- j
tended the full width, and here were j
seated some of the men whose names i
are known to geologists and mining
engineers the world over, as authori¬
tative. Here, too, were seated the Hon.
Louis Coderre, representing the Gov¬
ernor-General and the Government of
ICanada, Hon- Mr. Charles Devlin,
Minister of Mines and Fisheries for
Quebec, Hon. W. H. Hearst, Minister
of Lands, Forests, and Mines, for On¬
tario, Mayor Hocken of Toronto,
President Falconer of Toronto Uni¬
versity, and many others of distinction
at home as well as abroad-

A Beautiful Scene.

The great tent was walled in by ced¬
ars, and lit by pendant electric globes.
Hanging baskets of flowers descended
also from the canvas roof, while all
the tables bore masses of gladioli and
golden glow. A trumpeter in a red
uniform stood behind President I
Adams’ chair to signal when each!

announcement was to be made. The
Grenadier Band played grand opera
music in the west gallery. The ban¬
quet was probably one of the best
managed and briskest in its interest
of those ever held here, and its in¬
ternational character was unique.

Representatives of Canada.

Hon. Louis Coderre spoke in Eng¬
lish.

where could they be sheltered more
than in the hearts of the distinguished
visitors here to-night."

Mr. James Black, who interspersed
the speeches at certain intervals with
vocal solos in English. French, Ital¬
ian, and German, followed here with
an enthusiastic rendering of “O Can¬
ada."

Mr. Hearst referred to the 400,000
square miles of territory in Canada,
an arte, he said, 7 or S times that of
England and Wales.

Hon. Charles Devlin, of Quebec, told
the delegates that he did not under¬
stand their language and he did not
suppose they' would understand his
(French-Canadian). However, when
he spok° in French he was highly
applauded. He said the reception to
the congress in Canada represented
the sentiment of the people of Canada.

A Capable Organizer

Mr. G. G. S. Lindsey, K.C., chairman

of the local finance committee, who
jmafle himself not only extremely use¬
ful as an organizer, but popular as well
! through the course of this Congress,
! followed.

“Youths rush in where fossils fear
to tread,” he said, disclaiming any
other right to speak for Toronto
geologists.

“It's a good old earth,” said Mr.
Lindsey, “full of information, full of
interest, and full of rocks.”

Geology as a science was about 100
years old. The most of its history had
been written in the last aO years, and
the men and women who had written
ihe most of it were mostly all present
before and beside him.

“We have learned to love you,' de¬
clared Mr. Lindsey. “We are all stu¬
dents of nature, and one touch of na¬
ture makes the whole world kin. Un¬
til we meet again in Belgium for the
advancement of science and the world's
peace, we wish you peace and good¬
will,” concluded Mr. Lindsey.

Speakers in Other Languages.

Dr. Steinmann, of Germany, then fol¬
lowed in German.. Dr. Ternier spoke
in French for the geologists of France.
Dr. Tietze spoke in German for Aus¬
tria. Mr. Chamberlain, of Chicago,
dean of American geologists, spoke for
the United States.

”On behalf of your nearest neigh¬
bor I bring to you greetings and con¬
gratulations,” he said. “You represent
in Canada the Alpha and Omega of
geology. You are the cornerstone of
the world and a large part of the foun¬
dation. You have had a steady geo¬
logical growth with the least possible
amount of cataclysm commensurate
with the great development. You are
the great exemplification of continen¬
tal glaciation, that period of trial of
what was good and the elimination of
what was weak preparatory to the
new future. If geology brings us any
message that is great and inspiring to
mankind, it is one of destined great¬
ness of future for the human race.

“In that great future we look to this
nation as one of the great nations yet
to come.”

The Canadian Problem.

Dr. Strahan, of London, said that
one language would suffice to express
his sentiments—English.

“It did not impress me so much that
Canada was ten times as big as the
British Isles,” he said smiling. “The
Atlantic ocean is bigger than either.
The big thing here is your problem.
You have half a continent and your
problems are of cosmic importance.
At home we are at the parochial
stage. The big things have been
done. What impresses me is the im¬
portant work Canadian geologists
have done in deciphering the geology
of your great territory.”

Dr. Strahan said that more money
was being wasted in England explor¬
ing in impossible places for coal than
would pay for a National Surv.ey and
a pension for its deserving officers.

“This is the message,” concluded
the distinguished Britisher, “that I
shall take home to my confreres: I
find in Canada enormous resources
awaiting development. I find capable
geologists in the East as well as in
the West, investigating- those rer
sources.”

Dr. Fernow said that India had
only heretofore developed gold and
iron. She was going ahead now and
would catch up to Canada.

A Toast from Italy.

The Venerable Professor Carlo de
Steppeni of Florence spoke for Italy
of the land of Columbus and Cabot
and VespuccL

“In the names of Italy and Rome,
propose the toast of Canada, the land
of youth, enthusiasm, strength, and
execution,” cried the aged Italian
scientist.

Mr. inouye, of Japan, said the con¬
gress was drawing civilized nations to¬
gether into closer relation. “Japan has
made great progress, and we hope with
your assistance we may be able to ful¬
fil our duties towards mankind,” con¬
cluded Mr. Inouye. “Let me again ex¬
press our hearty thanks for the hospi¬
tality of the Canadian people.—Banzai”

The Swedish speaker likened Can¬
ada to Sweden, as the greater counter¬
part of his own country.

Geologists Stimulated.

“It is stimulating for European geolo¬
gists to witness the conquest of the
New World by the Anglo-Saxon race,
co-operating with the foremost races
of uie international world,” he said.
"We bay , -A , ly-oudtung intention
in bridge the ; o from Spitsbergen to
Cream..,nA and from Greenland co the
north-eastern shore of Canada.

“The wore of this congress will prove
of everlasting benefit to science,” con¬
cluded Dr. Backstiom:

Dr. Tehernyschew spoke in French
in behalf of Russia.

Mr. McDermott, secretary of the In¬
stitute of Metallurgy, replied for the
ladies.

"We thank you,” he said, amidst
laughing applause.

The international gathering then
sang “God Save the King” in the tra
ditional loyal style of Britain and Bri¬
tish America.

The Geological Banquet

I One of the most charming and bril¬
liant events of the season was the
fcanquet given by the president and
Executive Committee of the Interna¬
tional Geological Congress in the ar-
trories last night. A fljw’ge marquee
Jiad been formed into a perfect cedar
forest, with softly carpeted floor of
green, and inside this bower were
{placed numbers of small tables, seat¬
ing ten and twelve, with the long table

Professor Day of Beirut Tells
of His Experiences in
Palestine.

A BENEVOLENT DESPOT

The Only Remedy by Which to
Control the Religious
Fanatits.

One of the many interesting person¬
alities at this Geological Conference
is Professor A- E. Day of Syria Or¬
iginally from Illinois, he has been, at¬
tached to a Protestant lay missionary
college near Beirut for a number of
years. The far-famed cedars of Le¬
banon are within the district of his
activities.

‘‘There is one grove," he said, “that
is apparently very old. Whether it
really existed in Bible times or not
I do not know. It is protected by the
village which owns it, and a watch¬
man is kept there day and night. The
goats in that country eat everything,
and would otherwise destroy t4 e
young trees. The cutting of wood is
strictly regulated. By this care the
grove itself is preserved, but it does
not spread in area. There are two or
three other lesser groves of younger
trees. Otherwise the far-famed Cedars
of Lebanon from which Solomon se¬
cured the timbers for his temple at
Jerusalem are no more’’

Climate Changing.

Professor Day thinks that the cli¬
mate of Syria and the whole region
of the Holy Land is changing.

“Back from the anu- Lebanon
range,” he said, "comes the deseru
Here the population, of course, is now
very scant. The wild Bedouin Arabs
are a source of danger to those who
live on the border of the desert, and
that may he one reason for the ion-
liness of the region- Bui there seems
to be a traceable line beyond winch
rainfall is insufficient ,to maintarn
vegetaUoii in the present era. At one
time however, this was not the esse.
All along the region of this boundary
of the rainfall are the ruins of anc.ent

stone cities.” unis

Syria itself and the Lebanon hills
especially enjoys a fairly pleasant 4
mate, according to the p ^ ofes ®? r L t

••Summer temperatures do not otten
exceed 85.” said he. “I wear Uie same

clothes there as here. C n . 1 “°and
tains of Lebanon the air is clear ana
keen On the plain it is humid, in
The cities it is not bad. Damascus
streets are. many of them, nt

and it is really very coo! and Peasant
to stroll through the arcades of the
Damascus bazar and observe the life
and activity.

Terrible Taxation.

‘‘The Turkish Government of Syria
as elsewhere discourages development
by over-taxation. When an enterprise
is starting the tax collectors swoop
down and put such a burden upon it
to crush the infant industry. There
^ no lumber in the country-flooring
of marble slabs being cheaper than
the imported American tongue-and-
groove boards. A sort of green oak
fs imported from Asia Minor for fire¬
wood. This wood is cut while the
£ee is small, and it is then allowed
to grow up again. Charcoal is made

from it In winter the buildings are
not usually heated. A family will
gather around a charcoal brazier, but
that is all. Even in the college we
do not heat all the rooms. The tem¬
perature in winter runs at about 40
to 60. There is an interval of three
weeks or so of beautiful clear sunny
weather in mid-winter. Otherwise the
winter is raw and damp. The country
is fertile, but rocky. The soil is held
on the hills by terraces and stone
walls. There is little or no grass as
in this country. The Jordan is a

muddy stream and the Dead Sea is
so salty one cannot sink above the
chest. The source of the Jordan is
in the fountains in the Lebanon
Mountains, where clear cold water j
bursts out of the rocks. These foun¬
tains are in turn fed by the melting
snow glaciers at the summits.”

A Virile People.

The whole land has once been
heavily forested. Professor Day thinks.
Re-forestation has decreased the
rainfall, and such rain as comes in
the wet season runs off quickly and
has largely denuded the hills of soil.
Stones and sterility have resulted,
and '-he population in the mountain-
j ous parts ive meagrely on the goats,
who in turn live on the scanty sub-
stenance found amid the rocks. Id
the plains oranges and grapes grov/
well and with dates may be had foi
more than half the year. Wheat is
also grown. The people are fairly
virile and healthy. An Abbeynian
youth at the college runs a mile in
good time, while another student does
100 yards 'in 10 7-5 seconds. Soccer
football is the favorite game played
at the mission college.

Religious Fanatics.

"Varying fanatical sects and relig¬
ions make it almost a despair to ex¬
pect that some day popular govern^
ment will be introduced,” said Profes¬
sor Day. “The Moslems will not co¬
operate with other seats as equals. A
benevolent despotism would be the
ideal form of government there.”

Bombarded Beirut.

Professor Day was in Beirut when
j the Italian warships shelled the Turk¬
ish gunboats in the harbor, and inci¬
dentally destroyed part of the town
and killed about sixty citizens.

"They fired from out at the sea
about three miles,” he relates. “They
did not seem to be particular about the
range, and most of their shells landed
in the town. Finally the Turkish gun¬
boats were sunk, but by this time
many of the terrified citizens had fled
for the open country. Toughs broke
into the arsenal and stole military
rifles. They killed a number of people
they suspected of being Italians. The
Turkish soldiers • rounded them up,
however, and by noon next day had
all the rifles back and the town
quieted.”

Professor Day has grown to prefer
Syria to Illinois, and would be sorry
were he not going back there.

Interesting Ceremony Performed
This Afternoon in Con¬
vocation Hall.

SEVEN MEN BECOME
LL.D.’S HONORUS CAUSA

Chancellor Sir William Meredith
Presides for the
Occasion.

TORONTO MAN IN THE LIST

Many Ladies Give a Lively Inter¬
est to the Event—March
Across Campus.

The old University of Toronto gath¬
ered unto herself all her array of digni¬
taries. donned her solemn clothing and
such small touches of color as she per¬
mits. herself, and bestowed upon seven
distinguished scholars the degree of
LL-D. this afternoon in Convocation
Hall. A sunny day with just a film
of haze over the trees in the park made
a perfect setting for the tittle proces¬
sion of solemn men of learning that
moved across the Campus into the cool
shadow of the big stone-pillared build¬
ing and into Convocation.

Presently from a dozen different di¬
rections across the campus came the
ladies of the University circle—spots
of bright color, pink parasols, white
gowns, and moderately-worldly hats.
They, too, were swallowed up by the
doors of the hall. Limousines rolled
up the drive, touring cars—and a press
photographer set up his weather-worn,
apparatus to record the scene upon his
plates.

Within, the organ of Convocation
Hall discoursed of words and feelings
under the hands of a solemn organist
Slow crescendoes, and dreamy diminu-
endoes swelled and retreated over the !
heads of the audience, pushing out J
all thoughts of the vulgar world beat¬
ing itself against the walls outside,
preparing the mind for the ceremony
of the University, the conferring of
the degrees.

The organ stopped and with a scuf-
fling and creaking of doors the black-
gowned procession entered. First the
President, Dr. Falkner and Chancellor
Sir William Meredith. Then the men
about to receive the degree: Dr. R.
Beck of Berlin, presented by Dean
Fermow: Prof. C’liamberlain of the
University of Chicago, by Professor
Coleman: Dr. W. G. Miller, Geologist
for the OnOtario Bureau of Mines, by
Professor DeLury: Dr. Sederholm of
Finland, by Pro|essor Walkej: Dr..
Strachan, Director of the British Geo¬
logical Survey, by President Falkner: ■
Dr. Termier of Paris, by Professor De¬
champs: and Dr. Tschermyschew. by
Professor Parks.

The simple but impressive ceremony
was soon over. After prayers, the
Dean Fernors rose with Dr. Beck, and
In a short address in German present¬
ed his nominee. The latter then step¬
ped forward, and was received by the
hand of the Chancellor. He then
passed over to the Roll of Convoca¬
tion, and signed it. The others follow¬
ed the same course. The gathering
afterward attended the garden party
in the quadrangle.

GERMANY’S LADY DELEGATE
CAME TO TORONTO ALONE

Sees Nothing Remarkable About Tra¬
veling a Long Distance
Unattended.

The only lady delegate to the Geo¬
logical Congress from Germany is
Fraulein Anna Maria Elisabeth R'ath-
gen. Quite young—she is still in her
student days at the University of
Bonn am Rhein, in Germany— she is
already a traveler of wide experience.
She is paying her first visit to- this
continent. Before reaching Toronto
she made a trip through Nova Scotia
and New Brunswick, and she is now
about to start for the Rockies. She
has visited practically every European
country, and speaks the language of
most of them fluently. English she
speaks with remarkable ease and ac¬
curacy. She has also visited South
Africa. So it will readily be seen what
an intrepid traveler she is. For she
came to this country unaccompanied
by friends—"though I find it easy to
make friends on a trip,” she told The
Star. And small wonder, for she is
as unaffected as she is capable.

”1 was rather surprised,” she said
tj The Star, in the course of a chat,
“to meet so many people in this coun¬
try who seemed to think it odd that a
girl should come all the way. from
Germany by herself to attend a con¬
gress. I thought that in these days—
and particularly on this continent—
there would be considered nothing
remarkable in that. I left Germany in
last June, and am not returning there
till next April.”

Referring to her work at Bonn Uni¬
versity, Fraulein Rathgen said that
she was a pupil of the noted geologist.
Prof. Steinmann, and was engaged in
museum work.

“This is my first congress,” she
added, “and I am naturally delighted
with everything. But I fear that I
have too much neglected the scientific
for the social side of it. So much has
been done for us in Toronto that J
seem to have been literally swimming
in amusement during the past week.
What are my impressions of Toronto?
Well, generally, that it is everything
that is charming. But I never forget
that, when one visits a place for so
short a time, one can only obtain a
very superficial idea of the place it¬
self—on an occasion such as this,
when one is a guest and is treated
with so much consideration, one sees,
perhaps, only the best side. I should
add that I am very fond of mountain¬
eering, and have done work in the
mountains of Greece and Switzerland
and France, as well as in those of my
own land."

Fair Visitors Delighted With the Way in Which They Have Been
Entertained While in Toronto—Some Noted
Lady Geologists.

^Specially written for The Star. \

“There are many women at the con-.
Stress, but. few of us are really work-!
ing geologists. For instance, I come
because my husband comes, and a very
delightful time we have had here.”

Thus spoke Madame Lacroix, the
wife of the renowned scientist Lr- Al¬
fred Lacroix, professor of mineralo¬
gy in the French Natural History Mu¬
seum, and one of the most distin¬
guished of the French representatives
i at the congress, to The Star- But
some of Madame Lacroix's compatri-
i ots at the congress say that her
i natural modesty causes her to rate
1 herself too humbly. They assert that
her knowledge of geology is very far
] from being the merely superficial
' knowledge which the wife of so dis-
i tinguished a scientist as Doctor La-
! croix can hardly help acquiring, but
that, on the contrary, she has for long
I been of the greatest practical assis-
! tanoe to her husband in his research-

Madarqe Lacroix speaks little' Eng-
| lish. In the purest of Parisian French
; she expressed to The Star her delight
I in the congress and her gratitude for
? the arrangements made for the com-

I “uur hosts have been too good,"
i she impulsively exclaimed, “and what

’ is. and I am quite looking forward
to attending another. I shall be deso¬
lated at leaving this fine city and all
the kind friends we have made here.”

Equally ardent in praise of Toronto
and of the congress and all that
appertains to it was charming Mad¬
emoiselle M. M- Termier, another ©f
the French visitors, and daughter of
M. Termier, director of the French
Geological - Survey, who is a leading
light at the congress. Mile. Termier
like Madame Lacroix, disclaimed any
right to be regarded as a geologist, al¬
though she told The Star that she
took a very keen interest in the

science- , , ..

Lady McRobert is one of the ladies
who are themselves practical geolo-

1 gists.- She has earned considerable
Scientific distinction at the London
l College of Science. During the con-
| Sress Lady McRobert, who is extreme-
py pleasant and unassuming—the very
reverse of the blue-stocking type—has
become very popular with her fellow-
l members. She is the second wife of
Sir Alexander McRobert, who, though
not himself a geologist, is yet a scien-
j tist of high reputation, having adopted
chemistry and experimental physics as
| his branches. He is managing direc¬
tor of the Cawnpore Woolen Mills, and
has ' a wide acquaintance with India.
I Lady McRobert is an American by
birth being a daughter of William
Huhtfer Workman, of Worcester, Ma®-
sachusetts, the famous explorer and
topographical'authority.

One of the most notable of the wo¬
men figures is the little lady Doctor of
Philosophy from Rotterdam—Alide
Gutter-ink. „ Micro-chemistry is Dr.
Gutterink S' special bra.ric.li of study, the
crystals obtained from minerals being
Bte especial objects of her attention
in their Connection 'with chemical work.
Bhe is .a very •interesting personality,
and one need not talk long with her to
discover how wcylj-. -abreast of modern
thought the ladies of the Netherlands
must be if there are many of them like
her. \

Two Lady Professors.

Another of . the most distinguished
of the. lady .visitors, is Miss^ Florence
Bascom, professor .of geology at. Bryn
Maw.r College. Both as author and aa
professor she enjoys a very enviable
position among the geologists of the
United States. Equally distinguished
is Miss C. A. Raisin, of Bedford Col¬
lege, London. Miss Raisin represents
the famous London Linnean Society,
which, it was interesting to learti, pos¬
sesses the manuscripts of many ‘ of
Linnaeus’- publications.

Not a little of the smoothness with
which the arrangements for the com¬
fort'of the visiting ladies have worked,
has been due, as many of them told
The Star, to the thoughtfulness and
tact of Madame Hoffmann, the grace¬
ful and winning little lady who re¬
ceives them in the main building up¬
stairs. She speaks something like
eight languages, so that wherever a
new-comer niay hail from, she at
once feels at home with Madame.

GEOLOGISTS LEAVE
FOR ENDS OF EARTH

Fourteen Thousand Pages Were
Printed for the Congress
Guide Books Alone.

GOVERNMENTS PAY MUCH

Visitors Were of a Class Whose
Knowledge of Canada Will
Benefit Dominion.

At noon to-day . one of the greatest
conventions ever held in Canada, and
in some ways, the most important
held anywhere in the world this year,
jeame to an official end. The Twelfth
Geological Congress goes down in
scientific history.

The conferring of degrees at Con¬
vocation Hall this afternoon and the
official farewell garden party are the
last courtesies Toronto can show one
of the most, distinguished, erudite, and
urbane gatherings that ever entered
he;- gates. Four years hence the. next
congress meets in Belgium. After
that Thibet or Peru or Afghanistan,
for all anyone can tell now.

Congress Cost a Million.

This congress has cost, not $75,000.

t s was glibly estimated at one time,
ut close to a million dollars. Seven-
y-fl.ve thousand dollars might cover
the actual outlay of cash by the Can¬
adian committee, but in addition to
this there was the printing of 14,000
pages of geological guide-books to
Canada, paid for by the Dominion and
Provincial Governments; the printing
of the huge monograph on the Coal
Resources of the World, a work so
great that it could only be undertak¬
en under a guarantee by the Ottawa
Government; the time of the expen¬
sive scientific men devoted to prepar¬
ing such work; the two years devoted
by the Geological Survey at Ottawa,
and the Ontario Bureau of Mines in
collecting the data for the guide¬
books—not mere Baedeker, but ven¬
dible handbooks of geology along 12,-
000 miles of Canadian railways, to
say nothing of the cost of the long
and expensive excursions and the cost
of board and lodging and incidentals
for the visitors. ,

Dr. Parks’ Summarizes Work.

“The meetings,” said Dr. W. C.
F K.S of the University this morning,
*^Have been a great success—of course.
JChe total registration was over 900—
cIocl to 1,000, and the total attendance
fcei . was 450.

“The congress served, scientifically
speaking, three distinct ends. The
first, and most important, of these
was the series of excursions. Some¬
thing like thirty-three were arranged
eo as to exhibit the geology of prac¬
tically all of Canada that is readily
accessible by rail. The guide books
printed specially for these excursions
total about 14,000 pages, and include
hundreds of maps. We have been
-working for three years on them—the
committee, the Bureau of Mines for
Ontario, and the Geological Survey of
the Dominion. These guide books
are practically a text book, up-to-the-
minute, of the geology of Canada.
From a commercial side, these ex¬
cursions must benefit the mining in¬
dustry of Canada, and the other in¬
dustries as well. They offered a splen¬
did exhibition of Canada’s national re¬
sources of all kinds. The type of men
at. this congress are such as to profit
by what they have thus been shown,
and are men who can disseminate the
information about Canada very widely.
Standardizing Geological Terms.

“In the second place come the scien¬
tific meetings and discussions. In that
connection there were a number of
standing committees whch have been
appointed to report on certain sub¬
jects of international scientific im¬
portance, such as the correlation of
the resailts of the different geological
surveys held by the different Govern¬
ments of the world. Part of the. work
of such committees is to standardize
the nomenclature and the methods of
observation and description employed
by geologists in different countries.

In the third place, the congress un¬
dertakes each time some one big piece
of work. This year it was the mono¬
graph on the coal resources of the
world, published in three large quarto
vo'umes with a map. This publica¬
tion was guaranteed against loss by
the Dominion Government.

GEOLOGS. LOPrHOMEWARD

TWELFTH SESSION ENDED.

Garden Party This Afternoon and Spe¬
cial Convocation at University to
Confer Degrees.

The twelfth session of the Interna¬
tional Geological Congress is over. If
you have any suggestions or reports to
make you will have to take it to Bel¬
gium in 1917. The council which has
guided this congress to success arose
this morning a disbanded body. The
two delegates from Belgium are now
the big men for the remainder of the
day.

Nearly every steamship line that is
or ever was has an agent or some
literature up at the University this
morning, explaining the best method
for the delegates to return home,
i “There is just one way to get home in
{ comfort," they seem to say, “and that
is by the line I represent.”

There is one man in this city who at
last can enter into the feeling of the
late J. P. Morgan. This man is the
photographer who made the large
group photo of the delegates yester¬
day- He has opened a temporary office
on the University steps, and he has the
delegates around him like a swarm of
■bees — all desiring one or more prints
mailed to his home. This is a cash in
advance deal, and from the appearance
of the business about noon the photo¬
grapher will have to sit up all night
to count his money.

MANY THANKS.

Some final business was cleared up
this morning and at the conclusion
Mr. G. O. Smith, director of the
United States Geological Survey, read
a motion of thanks. It was addressed
to the Duke of Connaught, the citizens
of Toronto and Canada, the Provincial
Governments and the Dominion body,
the Governors and directors of the
University, and to President Adams
and Secretary Brock.

The motion was composed of flow¬
ery language and loud applause
thundered through the theatre at its
finish.

It ts a strange thing that, although
these people all have so many differ¬
ent ways of doing things, they all
clap their hands and cheer in exact
unison.

MORE COMMITTEES.

The council adopted a resolution of
Dr. Sagerholm, Denmark, which will
be a request for all governments to
i take an active interest in the study
of the Pre-Cambrian or the oldest
rocks on the earth. Much valuable
work has been done by the Govern¬
ments of Canada and the United
States, but it is desired to spread the
work out to all continents.

The Governors of the University
bestowed honorary degrees upon seven
of the visitors. Those on the list for
these honors are:—Aubrey Strachan,

, Wales; P. M. Termier v France; Thos
! Chrowder, Chicago; Richard Beck,
i Germany; J. J. Sederholm, Finland;

| Theodosius Tshernyschew', Russia;
Willot G. Millar, Toronto. At the close
of this special convocation the Gov¬
ernors will tender the delegates a
garden party. The numbers will be
diminished, however, for many left
for distant points on the early after¬
noon trains.

BANQUET FOR THE CONGRESS

WILL TOUR CANADA.

Visitors to Geological Congress Enter¬
tained at Armories and by German
Consul—Concludes To-day.

Five hundred of the world's leading
geologists, who with the Ministers of
Mines from two provinces and other
distinguished Canadians, were present,
at the banquet in the Armories last
night, made up an assembly unique
in the history of Toronto. Over a
score of speeches were made and as
each speaker was allowed to use what
language he pleased, more than the
King’s English was used. Dr. Frank
D. Adams, the president, of the Con¬
gress, who presided, welcomed the
visiting delegates in English, French
and German.

“You have come,” said he, ‘‘to a
very paradise of geologists. Wealth
and materials embrace us on every
side. Our nickel mines are among
the finest in the world, and the coal
monograph shows that our mineral
deposits are among the richest in the
world. In the great unknown north,
you will see a country in the making.
Our only hope is that the foundations
in this land into which immigrants
are pouring from every country in
Europe, will be well and truly laid
and that you will carry back to your
countries our good wishes for them.”

REPLIED FOR THE DUKE.

Replying to the toast of the Gover¬
nor-General, Hon. Louis Coderre, the

In keeping with the German custom
there was very little speech-making af¬
ter the repast, but the speakers, refer¬
ring to the pleasure it gave’ them to
meet their scientific brethren under the
British flag, emphasized the cordial re¬
lations existing between Great Britain
and Germany to-day. The German‘con¬
sul briefly bade his company welcome,
and expressed the hope that they would
return again to this country. Profess¬
or Steinmann, replying for the German
geologists assured all present that their
visit to Canada would indeed be a me¬
morable one in the lives of all the dele¬
gates. Just before rising, Mr. Emil
Nerlich. President of the Deutscher
Verein, expressed his happiness at hav¬
ing such a distinguished company dine
at his club.

The delegates included two ladies-
Fraulein Rathgen. who recently made
a tour of exploration in Egypt, and Mrs.
Freeh, who was present with her hus¬
band, Professor Freeh, of Breslau.

THE PRE-CAMBRIAN PERIOD.

An interesting debate followed the
reading of the papers on “The Sub¬
division, Co-relation and Terminology
of the Pre-Cambrian Period” at the
session of the Congress yesterday
afternoon. The discussion was mainly
as to the ‘names to be applied to the
various divisions of Pre-Cambrian
rocks in North America; and opin-
ions as to the use of the term Lauren-
tian in describing some of these differ¬
ed widely.

Dr. Coleman, of Toronto, pointed
out that the name Laurentian might
well be retained for the granites in-

Secretary of State, voiced the feeling traded throughout the Sudbury series

of gratification that one so closely
connected with the Crown had come
to represent His Majesty in the Do¬
minion. Tribute was also paid not
only to His Excellency’s interest in
every part of the country, but also
to the keen interest he took In science,
and the visit of the Geological Con¬
gress to Canada. Gratification was
expressed at the recovery of the
Duchess from her recent serious ill-
| ness.

I Hon. Chas Devlin, Minister of Mines
of Quebec, spoke in French for his
province, and Hon. W. H. Hearst re¬
sponded on behalf of the Lieut.-
Governor of Ontario.

“In this province,” he said, "nature
has hidden some of her greatest trea¬
sures. No place in the world holds
greater rewards for the faithful seek¬
er aftdr truth.”

APOSTLES OF PEACE.

“We welcome you to Canada not
only as teachers of . geology,” said G.
G. S. Lindsay, K.C., in proposing the
toast of the visiting delegates, “but
as preachers of the gospel of peace.

1 “These meetings and their like are
-what make for universal peace, and
for that reason we hope that you will
| come again some day. For the gospel
of peace is the greatest of all gospels.”

The toast was responded to by Dr.
Steinmann, of Germany, Dr. Tietze of
Austria, Dr. Termier of France, Dr.
Strachan of Great Britain, Prof. Renier
of Belgium, Mr. Fermor of India, and
others. The visitors were given per-,
mission to speak in their own tongues,
and four or five languages were used
by them in their replies.

GERMAN CONSUL’S DINNER.

If they had not previously felt at
home, the thirty German delegates to
the Geological Congress did yester¬
day, when with upwards of twenty of
the German citizens of Toronto they
were the guests of the German Con¬
sul. Mr. J. Henry Peters, at dinner
in the German Club on Isabella street.
The menu provided was in true Ger¬
man style and included many little
dainties which only a German chef
can prepare.

but clearly older than the Huronian.

Those reading papers were, Dr.
Strachan, of the Geological Survey of
Great Britain: Prof. Andrew Lawson,
of the University of California: Sir T.
H. Holland, of Manchester, England;
and Prof. Coleman, of Toronto.

The discussion was participated in
Dr. Sederholm of Finland; Dr.

When the Thirteenth Internation¬
al Geological Congress meets in Bel¬
gium four years hence, the mono¬
graph to be presented will deal with
the agricultural resources of the
world, following the decision of the
Council. Other topics for discussion
will include the nitrate, phosphate
and soda deposits, and.- the copper
and petroleum resources of the world.

Owing to the discovery of vast and
■ important agricultural areas in Cana-
i da, Australia and South Africa with¬
in the last ten years, the hope is ex¬
pressed that with a complete com¬
pilation of resourcesss by 1917, new
districts may be added to those al¬
ready known, from which the world
may be supplied with grain.

Many of the foreign delegates have
complimented 1 > Canadian commit¬

tees on their organization, and the
Belgium geologists are even now
making preparations for the next
great congress in Brussels.

A MESSAGE FROM GERMANY

Closing Day of Geologists’ Congress
Was fine of Many Functions —
Ail International Committee Was
Formed.

The garden party given by the
Board of Governors of the University
of Toronto yesterday after the inter¬
esting function of conferring of de¬
grees in honor of the Geological Con¬
gress was the last gathering given to
meet those very charming and inter¬
esting delegates. The President and
the Chancellor, in full robes of of¬
fice. received the hundreds of" guests
as they poured into the quadrangle.
The music of the band added greatly
to the pleasure of the afternoon, and
many were the greeting “goo-d-byes”
and “au revoirs” said as a large num¬
ber of the delegates left last night
and this morning. many gentlemen
and ladies being in travelling dress.
Refreshments were served in a big
marquee. A few present to meet the
distinguished guests were; Hon. J.
K. Kerr and Mrs. Kerr, the Hon.
the Attorney-General, Mr. and Mrs.
J. W. Langmuir, Mr. and Mrs. Gra¬
ham Crawford, Mr. and Mrs. David
Dunlap. Mr. D. R. Wilkie, Mr. and
Mrs. Trees, Miss Nairn. Mrs. 'Heaven,
Dr. and Mrs. J. A. Macdonald. Mr.
and Mrs. Morang, Mrs. Mink, Mr. F.

Lennan, Mr. and Mrs. Nerlich, Mr.
and Mrs. Gerhard ■ Heintzman, Miss
Gwen Cayley, Miss Addison, Mr. and
Mrs. J. Falconbridge, Dr. and Mrs.
Vogt, and others.

It was a perfect valedictory-—the
last day of the International Geologi- j
cal Congress. A momentous resolu-j
tion was introduced at the meeting!
of the Council in the morning, the\
University of Toronto conferred the !
degree of LL.D. upon six of the geo- [
logists, and the garden party, which
terminated the day, was a joyous
sweet, tinged with regret that so soon
they were to part.

At the meeting of the Council held
in the morning the General Secre¬
tary, Mr. R. W. Brock, introduced a
resolution to the following effect: —
“That a small international commit¬
tee, consisting of not more than eight
persons who have had actual ex¬
perience on the Executive Committees
of the various session of the Congress,
be appointed to consider the question
of a permanent constitution and by¬
laws, and to submit, if possible, a pro¬
posal thereon at the next session of
the Congress.”

This motion, which was carried,
was mooted on account of the fact
that the International Geological Con¬
gress, since its inception in 1878, has
no permanent constitution and no
permanent rules to guide it, and mem¬
bers join only for the session which
they attend. Dr. Sederholm of Fin¬
land made a notable suggestion to the
effect that the Geological Surveys of
the different countries be asked to
confer together notably with regard
to the correlation of pre-Cambrian.
An opportunity for geologists to spend
some time in each other’s fields was
also recommended. Congratulatory
messages were sent to Prof. G. Capel-
line of the Bologna University, and
Edward Suess, F.R.S., two of the
world’s most famous geologists.

Scene at Convocation Hall.

The platform of Convocation Hall
presented a brilliant spectacle during
the conferring of the degree of LL.D.
upon the various recipients. The
hoods and gowns of the Chancellor,
the President, and the various cele¬
brities present made a charming pic¬
ture, while the beautiful colors in the
ladies’ dresses combined to form a
kaleidoscope of scintillating effects.
Chancellor Sir William Meredith pre¬
sided. and the first to be introduced
was Dr. R. Beck of Frieburg, Ger¬
many, who was presented by Prof. T.
L. Walker of Toronto. The recipient
was one who had done great things
in geology, his book on “Ore Deposits”
being considered one of the leading
works.

Seven of the famous geologists,
whose names are household words, at
least in families interested in the
study of the earth’s Interior, received
the honorary degree of doctor of laws
of the University of Toronto at a
special Convocation held yesterday
afternoon. There was an imposing
gathering in the Convocation Hall,
when the members of the faculty
united in doing honor to the men
who have devoted their lives to the
study of the history and composition
of the world on which the members
of humanity live out their puny ex¬
istences.

The first of the geologists to he
presented to the Chancellor, Sir Wil¬
liam Meredith, was Dr. Richard Beck
of Frieburg, Germany. He was in¬
troduced by Professor Walker, and
addressed the gathering in his native
tongue. Dr. Pierre Termier of the
Geological Society of France was
presented by Prof. De Champ, and
Prof. Th, Tschernyschew of St. Peters¬
burg received his presentation from
Prof. Parks.

Warm wards of praise for the work
done 'by the University of Toronto
were spoken by Prof. T. C. Chamber-
lain, of the University of Chicago, who
was proposed by Prof. Coleman. He
said that Canada’s chief university,
like all other institutions of learning,
had to be judged from its fruits, and
its faculty had moulded so many men
of thought, purpose and lofty ideals
among his acquaintances that he
felt especially proud to receive the
degree conferred upon him.

Dr. J. J. Sederholm of Finland was
presented 'by Dean Fernow, who des¬
cribed the geologist from northern
Europe as a man who had earned
fame by the brilliant proofs advanced
by him regarding points at which
other geologists had only been able
to guess. Dr. Sederholm told of the
inspiration which he had .received
from Canada. He found that the
country was not only possessed of
great natural beauty and splendid po¬
litical liberty, but it was also the
home of growing culture. His own
country was known as the “Little
Canada of Europe,” because it had
verv much the same geological for¬
mation as the Dominion. Dr. Seder¬
holm offered thanks to all Canadians
for the kindness shown by them to
the sons of Finland who had left the
Fatherland to make their home In an
adopted country.

Among those who received degrees
was one Canadian, Dr. W. G. Miller,
the Provincial geologist. He was pre¬
sented by Prof. De Lury, who was a
class-mate of Dr. Miller in his stu- J
dent davs at the University of To¬
ronto. President Falconer presented
Dr. Aubrey Strahan, of England, one
of the best known geologists of the
Mother Co’untry, being president of
the Geological Society of London and
the Geological Survey of England and
Wales.

The Congress Closes.

The International Geological Con¬
gress concluded its labors yesterday.
The members assembled at 10 o’clock
in genera] meeting, and, after the
transaction of some final business, Mr.
G. O. Smith, director of the United
States Geological Survey, read a mo¬
tion of thanks addressed to the Duke
of Connaught, the citizens of Toronto
and Canada, the Provincial Govern¬
ments and the Dominion body, the
governors and directors of the uni¬
versity, and to President Adams and
Secretary Brock, which was received
with loud applause. Dr. Sagerholm, a
Danish representative, proposed a re¬
solution that all Governments be re¬
quested to take an active interest in
the study of the pre-Cambrian, the
oldest rocks on earth. While admit¬
ting that much valuable work had
been done by the Governments of
Canada and the United States, the re¬
solution aimed at spreading the work
over all continents. The resolution was
adopted.

Half-past 4 was the hour set for
Ithe garden party given by the gover¬
nors of the University of Toronto in
honor of the members of the cop-
gress, but it was close upon 5 o'clock
when Sir William Meredith, Chancel¬
lor of the university, arrived In the
quadrangle, arrayed In his official
robes, and preceded by the mace. He
was quie.kly followed by the brilliant
company that had attended convoca¬
tion, a large proportion of whom were
ladies. Numbers of the members ha®
already left the city by the afternoon
trains, but, despite these defections,
close on 700 ladies and gentlemen
came in answer to the governors’ In¬
vitation. There was no formal recep-

tioffiT the occasion being taken more
as an opportunity for the bidding of
farewells and for the congratulation

of the recipients of degrees, who
showed their appreciation of the
honor done them by wearing their
new gowns and hoods. These gentle¬
men formed the subject of two excel¬
lent photographic groups taken on
the ground. Music was provided by
the band of the 12th York Rangers,
which at intervals played appropriate
selections, including many of the na¬
tional airs of the fatherlands of the
numerous visitors. In the intervals of
conversation light refreshments were
served.

Among the distinguished guests
present were noticed: Sir William
Meredith, Chancellor of Toronto Uni¬
versity; Prof. R. A. Falconer, presi¬
dent of the University of Toronto;
Prof. Willet G. Miller, geologist for
the Province of Ontario: Prof. A. P.
Coleman. University of Toronto; Prof.
W. A. Parks, department of geology,
University of Toronto; Mayor Hocken
and Mrs. Hocken.

University Garden Party

At the close of the ceremony of con
ferring degrees in Convocation Hall
yesterday afternoon the chancellor, Sir
William Meredith, and the president,
Dr. Falconer, with the mace carried in
front of them, led the way to the uni¬
versity quadrangle, where they re¬
ceived their guests, whom they had in¬
vited to the garden party held in honor
of the Geological Congress. During the
afternoon delightful music was played
by the band of the 12th York Rangers,
stationed on the terrace. A tinge of
sadness was added to the pleasure by
the necessary good-byes, for many of
the delegates were leaving in the
morning, and will take with them
happy memories of kind friends in To¬
ronto. Tea was dispensed from tables,
decked with gay scarlet gladdolas, in a
large marquee on the north side of the
lawn. A few of those present were:

DEGREES CONFERRED

Carried Away Many Friendships
and Much of Ontario’s
Crust

With the conferring of honorary
LL.D. degrees at Convocation Hall
yesterday afternoon and the pleasant
garden party that followed, Toronto
hade an official au revoir to the vis¬
iting geologists, most of whom left
llast night for Winnipeg and the Paci-
fic Coast.

During the day the indefatigable
secretary of the Congress, Mr. W.
Stanley Lecky, could be seen in the
tonneaus of automobiles, speeding
parting guests to the station, giving
final directions and rushing back to
see what more could be done for the
comfort of the visitors. Well provid¬
ed with knapsacks, kit-bags and sticks
that looked suspiciously like alpen¬
stocks, geologists were standing in
little groups waiting for the signal
for the departure, and when the end
came at the Union Station, there were
many vigorous hand-shakes, much dof¬
fing of hats and, it is whispered,
touching farewells with Toronto’s fair
sex. Since the coming of the Congress
it has been generally agreed that
geologists are less engrossed in rocks
and fossils alone than was popularly
believed.

Took Many Specimens.

If the geologists carried away many
friendships, they did more. They
carried away a considerable portion
of Ontario’s crust and packed the
specimens of rock freely collected
during the excursions as carefully as
though they had been gems of the
first water.

In fact, Dr. Sederholm of Finland,
remarked that the geologists had ob¬
tained a far better knowledge of pre¬
historic geology since their visit to
Canada than ever before.

Following is the list of visiting
geologists who were made LL. D.'s at
Convocation, with their sponsors : Dr.
R Beck, of Frieburg, Germany, pre¬
sented by Prof. T. L. Walker, of To¬
ronto; Dr. T. C. Chamberlin, of the
United States, by Prof. A. P. Cole¬
man; Mr. W. G. Miller, Provincial
Geologist, by Prof. De Lury; Dr. J.
J Sederholm, of Finland, by Dean
Fernow; Dr. A. Strahan, of London.
England, by President Falconer; M
Termier, of France, by Prof. De
Champ, and Dr. T. Tschernyschef ot
Russia, by Dr. W. A- Parks. The
Chancellor of the University, Sir
I William Meredith, presided, and con¬
ferred the degrees.

University Garden

The last gathering to meet the very
interesting and charming geological
delegates who have been among us
for the past week, was the garden
party given by the Board of Gov¬
ernors of the University of Toronto
yesterday afternoon in the Quad¬
rangle.

Sir William Meredith and the presi¬
dent, Dr. Falconer, with the mace
carried in front of them, headed the
procession to the quadrangle, where
they received the guests. The band
of the 12th York Rangers played the
most delightful Scotch music on the
terrace during the afternoon. A large
marquee on the. north side of the
lawn accommodated the tea tables,
which were gay with scarlet gladioli.
The members of the congress and their
confreres in town had become so
friendly that they were loth to say
good-bye, but many of them left for
Vancouver, Montreal and various
places last night.

Among those present were ; Mrs.
Macklem, Hon. J. J. Foy, Mr. and Mrs.

Attention.

About 200 members of the Geologi¬
cal Congress under the leadership of
President Dr. Adams will assemble in
Victoria, B. C-, on August 26, when
the two transcontinental excursions
which leave to-night meet again. One

party of 107 goes by the C. P. R- £
main line, the other by the Crow s
Nest Pass, so as to include an inspec¬
tion of the coal fields. At Victoria
two parties will be made up to sail
north- Forty or fifty will take the
“Queen McQuinnie,” an absolutely
new C. P. R- steamer, and run up the
coast to Yakatat, and the Malispena
glaciers, where the great icebergs of
the North Pacific are formed. This
party having a special boat will visit
places not usually visited and im¬
possible to the ordinary tourist They
will see Mount Elias and the glaciers
of the Coast Range. It was this fea¬
ture of the congress that induced the
leading distinguished geologists from
abroad to attend the present con¬
gress. At Skagway the party will 1^
the White Horse Railway to White
Horse and descend the Yukon River
U lHwson Here they will inspect the
gold fields of the Glondyke, where
$ 25 , 000,000 in placer gold b ^ ve J 3 ®®”
washed out. This party will arrive
back in Vancouver September 22, and
return East by the Grand Trunk Pa
clfic and Canadian Northern-

To Visit Prince Rupert.

Another Pacific coast party will take
In Prince Rupert and the Skeena
River, returning to Vancouver Septem¬
ber 2. Of those who do not go West
»hnnt 50 will go north and tour the
New Ontario mineral fields, including
Sudbury, Cobalt, and Porcmpme. Dr.
Miller is the leader in charge of this
excursion. It includes a formidable
international list of distinguished
geologists. Their tram leaves to-mght

at T 9 he°' program includes a trip on
Lake Temiskaming next Wednesday,
and on Saturday the 23rd, a voyage
to Bear Island on Lake Temagami.

Heat in Mines.

The three commissions reported to
the Congress this morning include
one on glaciation and one on the ques¬
tion of increased temperature at depth.
TTeat increases after a certain dept ,
Sit the "atio varies in different parts
of the world. In the Comstock lode in
Nevada the miners had to stop at 3,5
feet In the Tamaree Copper Mine in
the Houghton district of Michigan,
Lake Superior, the deepest mine n
I world, the temperature is not so great
at 5,200 feet. Information covering all
the available facts is being gathered,
and will be reported to the Congre
when it meets in Belgium The
oge rate of increased heat per foot of
descent will be figured out.

New Geological Map.

The commission appointed to con-
eider the question of a geological map
of the world reported in favor of the
step, and the work will be proceeded
with. The scale fixed upon was one to
five million, which would make a good
large wall map. Many countries have
had a thorough geological survey, and
maps have been prepared on a large
scale These will be generalize^ and
reduced to the uniform scale for incor¬
poration in the complete map. Some
of the continents have been fairly well
done, but Africa is largely blank, and
so is the interior of Asia

Mr Grabbam, who is here at the
Congress, has been working m the
Soudan, and Dr. Hume, who gave a re¬
markable paper upon his
been working at a geological map of
Egypt. In the South African States

many men are working, including Rog
ers and Mellor. The French are map¬
ping Algeria, but there is a vast terri¬
tory which will have to he mapped
merely by the reports of travelers and
their notes along the line of travel.
Similarly with the Asian interior. All
the available information is to be
gathered up, however, and reduced to
scale for incorporation in a complete
geological maD of the world as known
to date. It will be printed in Berlin.

Permanent Organization,

A commission was appointed to con¬
sider the question of preserving a
permanent organization as a nucleus
for the different congresses. Hereto¬
fore each congress has worked out its
own scheme and its own organization
entirely. The Canadian committee en¬
gaged Dr. Quensel of Sweden to help
out on the present occasion, he hav¬
ing been a secretary during the Swed¬
ish congress. The question of having
a continuity of staff will be considered
and reported upon at Belgium in 1917.

It is understood that the monograph
desired by the Belgians at their con¬
gress will concern copper, of which
Belgium controls deposits in the Con¬
go. It is possible that one of the ex¬
cursions will take the delegates in¬
terested to the Congo Free State. Bel¬
gium herself has little rock to show
the geologists, though she has some
great coal mines, possessing the 3rd
largest coal reserves in Europe.

A Useful Ore.

An exhibit of molybdenite speci¬
mens from Maine attracted atten¬
tion in East Hall at the geological con¬
gress this morning. Only three or four
metals are rarer than molybdenite, the
silvery, bluish-grey mineral found in
certain granite and quartz formations
in Maine and Canada, and in North
Australia. It is found also in Japan,
where it is said to be used in connec¬
tion with the manufacture of Japan’s
secret smokeless gunpowder. In Amer¬
ica its chief use is in the manufacture
of high-speed too! steel, armor plate,
and vault door steel, as it imparts a
self-hardening quality to steel. A
vault door, for instance, made with
“molybdenum.” becomes more burglar-
proof as the years go by. A strange
process goes on in the steel composite
during its whole life, after cooling,
causing it to continually harden.

Molybdenite is also used as a mor¬
dant in silk dying to make certain del¬
icate shades fast. But more important
still is its use as a filament base in
the so-called Tungsten electric lamp.
It is also used in Germany to produce
a certain yellow leather. It is a dis¬
infectant when used in dying plushes,
and so forth, being a germicide, and
valuable accordingly as a protection to
cushions in railway cars- It imparts
fire-proofing qualities to fabrics ailso.

The two largest commercial deposits
in the world are those at Catharine
Hill, Maine, owned by Mr. C. Vey
Holman, a delegate to the present Geo¬
logical Congress, and one at Indian
Peninsula, Lake Abitibi, owned by M.
J. O'Brien of Cobalt.

Molybdenite is worth about $675 per
ton. It is quarried out of the hills
where it occurs.

Reception Appreciated by Geologists.

As indicative of the appreciation the geologists felt
for the treatment they received at the hands of the
local committee and the Cohalt mine owners, the fol¬
lowing letter received hy the committee speaks for itself:

“We, the undersigned members of the Twelfth In¬
ternational Geological Congress, wish hereby to tender
and express to the local committee members, Messrs.
E. Y. Neelands, A. A. Cole, B. Neilly, Fraser Reid and
Chas. Watson, our hearty appreciation and thanks for
the thoughtfulness, hospitality and executive ability
which have made so remarkably effective and delight¬
ful our visit to Cobalt, under the leadership of Dr.
Miller, the godfather of the district. We beg to ex¬
press also to the managements of the Coniagas, Crown
Reserve, Beaver and Timiskaming mines and of the
Nipissing high grade mill, and to the ladies, our ap¬
preciation of the cordial reception, worthy of so
uniquely prosperous a mining district.”

NEW HONORS FOR DELEGATES!

TORONTO, August 15—The Univer¬
sity of Toronto conferred degrees on
visiting geologists yesterday.

The organ stopped and with a scuf¬
fling and creaking of doors the black-
gowned procession entered Convoca¬
tion Hall. First the President Dr.
Falconer and Chancellor Sir William
Meredith. Then the men about to
receive the degree : Dr. R. Reck of
Berlin, presented by Dean Fernow
Prof. Chamberlain of the University
of Chicago, by Professor Coleman ;
Dr. W. G. Miller, Geologist for the
Ontario Bureau of Mines, hy Prof.
DeLury ; Dr. Sederholm of Finland,’
by Professor Walker ; Dr. Strachan,
Director of the British Geological
Survey, by President Falconer ; Dr.
Termier of Paris, by Professor De- (
champs; and Dr. Tschermyschew, by I
Professor Parks. i

The simple but impressive ceremony
was soon over. After prayers, the
Dean Fernow rose with Dr. Beck and
in a short address in German, pre¬
sented his nominee. The latter then
stepped forward and was received by
the hand of the Chancellor. He then
passed over to the Roll of Convoca¬
tion, and signed it. The others fol¬
lowed the same course. The gather¬
ing afterward attended the garden
party in the quadrangle.

Varsity yesterday afternoon witnessed
the final gathering of the International
Geological Congress. Sir William Mere¬
dith, chancellor of the university, pre¬
sided at the special convocation in the
afternoon, when the honorary degree of
LL.D- was conferred on seven of the
delegates.

The first to be honored was Dr. R.
Beck, of Freiburg, Germany, who was
presented by Dr. T. L. Walker.

In his reply, Dr. Beck spoke in a very
'happy vein of the cordial relations
existing between geologists in Canada
and Germany and elf the fruitful con¬
tributions of the Canadian scientists in
the field of economic geology in which
his own university has been practically
interested for one hundred and fifty
years.

Dr- T. C. Chamberlain, of the United
States; Prof. W. G. Miller, of Toronto;
J. J. Sederholm, of Finland; Dr. A.
Strahan, of Manchester; Dr. Termier of
France; and Dr. T. Tschernvschew, of
Russia, were the .other delegates honor¬
ed.

THE GARDEN PARTY.

The 700 delegates present had an op¬
portunity of bidding good-bye at the
garden party in the quadrangle, which
followed the conferring of degrees. The
chancellor and President Falconer re¬
ceived the guests- Refreshments were
served and music was rendered by the
band of the 12th York Rangers.

Garden Party Ends Congress

Interesting Tales of Women’s Progress Were Unfolded by Its Women

Delegates.

Never has Varsity’s quadrangle had a
more distinguished gathering than that
of yesterday afternoon’s garden party
given by the university in honor of the
Geological Congress. As the last func¬
tion of a crowded week of geology and
joy it formed an ideal “au revoir” for
the members and the many warm
friends they have made in this city. Or
perhaps it was “auf wedersehn,” u:ter-
ed in the inspired tones of one from
the Kaiser’s land.

It has been a wonderful opportunity
for Toronto women to come in touch
with those from abroad directly con¬
cerned with foreign progress, to hear of
what they are doing and of being as¬
sured that we can feel justly proud of
our achievements. One heard more
than a rumble that women were up and
doing in an endeavor to claim a part in
all the world’s work. While chatting to
Fraulein Anna Rathgen, of Bonn, we
enquired if there was still much feeling
against the university girl in Germany,
she said:

“Oh, they are getting over that, and
women are going in for many things.
We have many women physicians and
though our women are not allowed to
practise law, many are studying it to
get ready for their admittance, which
they believe will come soon. But, again,
many are taking the course to aid them
in sociological work.”

But to us the greatest surprise was
the bright little Dr. Alide Grutterink,
jf Rotterdam, with her revelations of
what strides her countrywomen were
making. Somehow or other suffrage
societies in a land where the women
are famous for thir prowess as scrub
ladies somewhat startled. So recent
was the marriage of Miss Inez Mil-
holland to Eugene Boissevain of Am¬
sterdam that the .first query we put to
Dr. Gruterrink was as to whether she
knew the Boissevain family.

“Why, everyone knows them,” declar¬
ed she. “His sister, Dr. Mia Boissevain,
was the president of the women who or¬
ganized the exhibition called “Woman
from 1813 to 1916,” which was opened
in Amsterdam in May and will not close
until October.”

All the rooms are tilled with trea¬
sures that would delight the. eve of
?n antique collector. One of the floors
: s covered with an old rug made of
many pieces of gray cloth from. the I
dresses of the vrows. The wails are
1 covered with fine old prints, miniatures
and pastels. In the dining-room the
table is laid for a christening dinner.
On it are two interesting old soup
tureens of that time actually fitted with
a hot water arrangement to keep the
contents from getting cold. Here too,
is a basin inserted in the sideboard
where the good housewife always
washed her silver and glass, never
leaving it to the servants. This cus¬
tom it appears, is still in vogue to-day
in many a Dutch home.

But the kitchen is the place of de¬
light for true housewves- Tiled walls,
a marble floor, an old fireplace, with
a small oven at the side; the usual row
of old blue plates ranged on the shelf
above it and many copper and brass
utensils on racks around the walls.
At the right of the front door is the
provision room which was used in
place of a cellar. And the good old
Dutch housewife did not run to a
comer grocery when she wanted a
meal. In the provision room were
rows of hams hanging from the beams,
barrels of flour and sugar, bottles of
preserves and wines, and jars of but¬
ter. In the music room, upstairs,
is a figure of a lady dressed in 1813
attire sitting at an old-fashioned spin¬
et. Another in the costume of a nurse
was found in the old-fashioned bed¬
room.

As most people know, the year 1913
is an important one for Holland. It
was the year of the Peace Palace open¬
ing and also the centenary of Holland
in regaining its independence from
French rule Many Dutch women felt
that Amsterdam, as the capital, should
have a special exhibition to show the
social and intellectual position of wo¬
men since 1813.

So led by Dr. Mia Boissevain, in
the incredibly short time of fourteen
months they organized, arranged and
completed the present wonde ful pic
t’ure of Dutch women’; progress. Mon¬
ey was raised by private subscription
and the city of Amsterdam gave the
land on the outskirts of the city on
which the buildings were erected. It
is now paying for itself and will close
free of debt. Women of every creed
and station have worked together. So
successful have been their efforts that
women from Russia. Germany an 4
Italy have been inspired to go and do
likewise. The exposition is divided
into two parts- One shows a middle
class house of a hundred years ago
with all its quaint furnishings and ac¬
cessories. In it is an enormous kitch¬
en where all the cooking for the house
was done and where the provisions
were kept.

Other rooms show the accomplish¬
ments women of that time possessed in
the arts, literature, sports, their special
work among the poor and sick and as
guardians of almshouses and orphan¬
ages.

It gives an idea of the woman of the
working class in the country as well
as in the town, the home industries are
shown, how women were overworked
as seamstresses and diamond workers
and how come women trudged in tread¬
mills like horses.

Women's other professions, as shop¬
girls, servants, school mistresses and
midwives lend their gay or sad note.

In one room was seen women in
philanthropy. There are cases of old
letters, books of rules and by-laws,
Bibles and photographs of directresses
in their quaint costumes. Cases of
1 small models in costumes worn by
inmates of almshouses or hospitals or
workhouses are found in this room,
and more old prints relating to this
, subject.

In another room is seeen woman in
church life, cases of hymn hooks,
poems, books by celebrated women
authors of that time and costumes of
the different religions, societies and
more fine oid prints.

Then, too, are found women in medi¬
cine and in nursing, models of old hos¬
pitals, furnished as at that time; prints
of nurses in different costumes and
two fine oil paintings of well known
hospitals.

Naturally, the 1913 building Is mod¬
ern, and very much larger than the
one just described. The work display¬
ed is not all done by women, but by
any one interested in woman’s pro¬
gress. But the poster and the mural
decorations in the vestibule were paint¬
ed by women.

Here the weary could rest and listen
to a. very spirited band, composed of
sixteen women and led by one.

Along the outside of this building
were many booths and shops, showing
the woman druggist, bootblack, dress¬
maker, photographer, maker of fancy
work, cakes and candy.

The most interesting of these, and
presided over by a great enthus¬
iast, displays the Dutch Girl
Scout. Here are small models of
the girls, in their special cos¬
tumes, going through their different
evolutions, all made by the girls them¬
selves. Seventy of this organization
came from Amsterdam alone, are of
all classes and beliefs, and they work
winter and summer.

Passing into the building, it is said,
one's breath is taken away by the
number and extent of the exhibits.
Many pages would be required ade¬
quately to describe them, and it is said
women came here again and again to
study and profit by what they had
never seen or dreamed of before. All
honor to the .Dutch women for this
great display!

Then there is a room devoted to the
suffrage cause hung with flags of the
countries which have granted the suf¬
frage. All sorts of suffrage literature
is here on view, also.

Then there are exhibits showing wo¬
men toilers at work under the actually
bad conditions of real life. Next are
shown improved conditions in canning
factories, and a sample of the new,
airy, well-lighted sewing room where
girls and women have short working
hours and good pay. The latter is or¬
ganized by a prominent society which
insists on these improved conditions.

Another section shows women in
business^ as telephone or telegraph op¬
erators, as a postmistress, or as a sten¬
ographer. The tuberculosis exhibit
was exhaustive in every particular, and
photographs showing how women and
even little children become deformed
by certain kinds of sweatshop work
vere not pleasant to look at.

The Child’s Welfare Exhibit filled
room after room. Here the ignorant
peasant can learn how to feed, dress
and care for the body of her child. The
charts, photographs, statistics, models,
plans, appliances could not adequate¬
ly be described here. The blind child, the
feeble minded, the abnormal, the crip¬
pled. each had its particular exhibit
An ideal nursery, fully equipped; the
first aid to the injured; many books
dealing with all these subjects, were
shown. Still further on is seen wo¬
man’s work in drama, painting and
sculpture.

Surely our Toronto Exhibition au¬
thorities could have gained inspiration
from this splendid showing of Dutch
women.

The Geological Congress

’"T HE Geological Congress is now in
1 session in Toronto. Delegates
from all over the world gathered on
Wednesday evening, Aug. 6, at the
University. They were welcomed by
Hon. W. H. Hearst, Minister of Lands,

_Forests and Mines for Ontario, and

Prof. A. P. Coleman, head of the geo¬
logical department in the University
of Toronto, who is chairman of the
local committee. President Falconer
also welcomed the delegates.

The congress is one of the most
profoundly interesting that ever came
to Canada; distinguished among the
many scientific congresses that have
gathered in Canadian cities for learn¬
ing, character and experience. From
a standpoint of natural resources and
practical significance, it is perhaps
the most important congress ever con¬
vened in Canada. In a land whose
mining developments are among the
most remarkable in the world, and a
city which for ten years has been a
metropolis of miners, delegates'have
come from every land upon earth
where there is anything resembling
a mine. They come from the Anglo-
Egyptian Soudan, Argentine Republic,
Australia, Austro-Hungary, Belgium,
the British Isles, British West Africa,
British West Indies, Bulgaria, Canada,
Chili, China, Colombia, Denmark,
Egypt, France, Germany, Greece,
Guatemala, Hawaiian Islands, India,
Indo-China, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the
Netherlands, Newfoundland, New Zea¬
land, Norway, Peru, Philippine Islands,
Portugal, Roumania, Finland, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland, Tunis, Turkey,
T T nion of South Africa, the United
States and Venezuela.

On Thursday the Hon. Charles Fitz¬
patrick took the chair and delivered
an address of welcome. The address
on behalf of the Dominion of Canada
was delivered by Acting Premier Hon.
Mr. Perley. The congress will be in
session until August 16, but many of
the delegates will remain in Canada
for several weeks. Many of them
will travel in various parts of the
country where mining developments
have taken place. That is, they will
probably visit every province in the
Dominion. In Winnipeg they will find
as many languages as are spoken by
the congress itself. It will he thej
first time that at least half the dele-j
gates have seen this country. The!
advertisement which Canada will be
sure to get from so cosmopolitan and
distinguished an aggregation will
probably do more good than a great
deal of the railway and immigration
literature now being sent oiit.:

The City Hall was the'scene of a
brilliant gathering on Monday evening
when a civic reception was held in
honor of the geologists who were at¬
tending the international congress in
the city. His Worship the Mayor of
Toronto and Mrs. Hocken received
in the council chamber, on the steps
of the throne. Mrs. Hocken looked
very handsome in blush rose satin,
draped with pale grey ninon, and real
lace with diamond ornaments. Her
bouquet of the most exquisite orchids
was a masterpiece from the civic hot¬
houses, being composed of at least a
dozen or more varieties of the most
beautiful flowers, from sprays of the
tiniest “jewelled” orchid to a very
large one like purple velvet, the whole
surrounded with fine maidenhair fern.

The whole affair proved in-tensety
interesting, as never before in the City
Hall's history, have there been so
many nationalities represented. Pass¬
ing out from the council chamber,
which was banked with flowers, the
guests 'divided into little groups, list¬
ening to the music of the two or¬
chestras, and conversing.X A buffet
supper was served later in the even¬
ing from flower decked tables arrang¬
ed in the corridor.

INTERNATIONAL GEOLOGICAL CONGRESS

SUDBURY-COBALT PORCUPINE EXCURSION.

On Wednesday evening, July 23rd, 45 members of
the Congress left Toronto on a special C. P. R. train to
visit the mining districts of Northern Ontario. The
excursion was very well arranged, and, from start to
finish, proved very interesting. Some of the places
visited have become widely known, both on account of
their commercial importance and on account of their
scientific interest. The structure and origin of the ore
deposits has proven an attractive subject to many
geologists, and it was a pleasure much appreciated by
the visitors to have the characteristic features of the
several deposits pointed out to them by men who have
made a special study of the several districts.

All over the world the Sudbury deposits are referred
to as the most notable example of that particular type
of ore deposits supposed to be the result of magmatic
differentiation. It was therefore of special interest to
have the features of these deposits pointed out by Dr.

southeastward, giving a section across the eruptiy.
It was easily seen that the rock becomes, towards e
upper and inner edge, lighter coloured and moie
siliceous. At the outer lower edge it is a dark gray,
fine norite. This gradually changes to a coarser-
grained rock containing less pyroxene and more red¬
dish feldspar and micropegmatite. At the top it is
quite red and siliceous and granite-like in appearance.

Below the nickel-bearing eruptive the rocks are
much brecciated. In the vicinity of Sudbury sev¬
eral outcrops were visited and the “crush conglom¬
erate” examined. Prof. Coleman, in calling attention
to these outcrops, stated that this is characteristic of
the foot-wall rocks all the way around the nickel range.
Apparently the intrusion of the norite mass has been
accompanied by very extensive crushing of the under¬
lying rocks.

The Inner Basin.—Above the nickel-bearing erup¬
tive there is a fine grained siliceous rock, which Dr.

Grabham, Khartoum, Africa ; A. G. Burrows, Toronto.

A. P. Coleman, who has made several years study of
the deposits and has long contended that the ore bodies
have been formed by segregation of the sulphides from
a molten magma which was chiefly composed of the
constituents of norite—the rock in which the ore
occurs.

The members found little difficulty in finding hand
specimens which show apparently secondary deposition
of sulphides, especially of c'halcopyrite; but as has
already been mentioned by exponents of the magmatic
theory, this secondary deposition is of minor import¬
ance, as the localization of the ore bodies seems to have
depended on phenomena of much greater magnitude.
The secondary deposits may easily have been formed
by local changes within the original massive ore bodies
and the neighbouring rock.

The Sudbury Norite.—Prof. Coleman first took the
party to outcrops near Sudbury and pointed out sev¬
eral exposures of the Sudbury series—McKim gray-
wacke and Ramsay lake quartzite—and the overlying
conglomerate. Then, going to Windy lake on the C.
p. Rj Railway, the rocks which underlie the nickel
bearing eruptive were seen. The railway was followed

Coleman says is characteristic of the whole basin.
Outcrops of this material were examined and it was
found difficult to distinguish between the acid edge of
the micropegmatite and what Dr. Coleman believes to
be fused conglomerate.

Dr. Coleman stated that unaltered conglomerate and
micropegmatite are not found in contact, but that in
going from the overlying, Trout lake, conglomerate
towards the eruptive there is always noted a gradual
change from a distinctly fragmental rock to a fine¬
grained hard rock, which cannot be readily distin¬
guished from felsitic igneous rocks. The change is so
gradual that the conclusion reached is that the erup¬
tive has intruded the conglomerate and was at a high
enough temperature to" alter it very extensively before
solidifying.

Above the conglomerate is a dark coloured siliceous
rock known as the Onaping tuff. Good exposures of
this were examined at Onaping falls. At Onwatin lake
outcrops of the overlying Onwatin slate were ex¬
amined. It was found by several of the party that
these rocks are specially productive of red raspberries.
Asked as to the possibility of the Trout lake conglom-

erate, which overlies the nickel-bearing eruptive, and
the basal conglomerate near Ramsay lake, being of the
same age, Dr. Coleman replied that he considers this
improbable. He stated that all around the inner basin
the Trout lake conglomerate occurs and is always of
the same character—a dark gray, hard conglomerate
characterized by numerous pebbles of gray chert. He
pointed out that the Ramsay lake conglomerate is quite
different in appearance and composition and was prob¬
ably not formed at the same time.

Having made examination of the several types of
rock and of exposures which show their structural re¬
lations, visits were then made to the nickel mines.

Murray Mine.—The first mine visited was the Mur¬
ray. This property, Which is on the main line of the
C. P. R., and was discovered by the building of the
railroad, was worked several years ago.; but has not
been producing for ten years or more. During the past
two years, however, the property has been systematd-
call prospected by diamond drilling and excellent re¬
sults obtained. According to Mr. Hitchcock, who is
in charge of the drilling operations, holes are being
put down vertically at intervals of 200 feet and several
million tons of ore has been discovered. The deposits
worked in the early days are said to have dipped at
about 45 degrees; but the drilling indicates that the

Canadian Copper Company’s Smelter.—In the after¬
noon the guides took the party over the smelting plant
and explained the process of treating the ore" This
was described in detail in the August 1st issue of the
•Journal.

No. 3, or Frood Mine.—Leaving the smelter the party
proceeded by train to Frood and examined the enorm¬
ous outcrops of gossan at what is believed to be by
tar the largest nickel deposit yet discovered. Accord-
*>r. Coleman, it is estimated to contain at least
3o UU(J,000 tons of ore, and perhaps as much as 100,000.-
00( tons. From No. 3 the gossan-covered ridge extends

almost unbroken for a mile to the southwest and almost
as far to the northeast, where the Stobie mine once pro¬
duced more than 400,000 tons of ore.

The deposit is being developed from two shafts on
the property of the Canadian Copper Company. On
adjoining property the Mond Nickel Company is sink¬
ing a vertical shaft, which is expected to reach the ore
at a depth of about 800 feet.

At No. 3 mine the deposit has been developed for
some distance at the 200 and 300-foot- levels. At the
200-foot level ore is being stoped by widening out
crosscuts on reaching the ore and gradually extending
the stope by making a fan-shaped opening, as has been
done at some of the other properties.

Sudbury for a splendid reception were received with
much applause.

Moose Mountain. —Saturday morning the party was
taken over the Canadian Northern Railway to Moose
Mountain. Here the iron ore deposits and associated
rocks were examined. At No. 1 mine, which is worked
largely as an open pit, the ore is magnetite more or
less interbanded with hornblende and green cpidote.
At No. 2 mine the ore consists of interbanded magnetite
and silica without hornblende or epidote.

The ore mined is crushed and then concentrated by
magnetic separation. By this means a marketable
product is obtained. Much of the ore runs only 35 to
40 per cent, iron ; but by a sample treatment the grade
is brought up to 60 per cent.

In the vicinity of the mines many interesting struc¬
tural features are well exposed. In places the banded
ore is cut by dikes of granite and by thin seams of epi¬
dote. Where the iron formation crosses the Vermilion
river interesting crumplings and foldings of the banded
ore were pointed out by Dr. Coleman. A variety of
interesting small scale structural features, such as anti¬
clines, synclines and faults were also seen in the old
rocks.

Recently Mr. Lindeman of the Department of Mines
has been studying the district and has prepared a mag¬
netometric map of the iron formations. Copies of this
map were received just in time for distribution to mem¬
bers of the excursion.

After visiting the outcrops and mines, the party was
conducted through the concentration plant and the
methods of magnetic separation and briquetting of the
ore were explained.

The officers of the company then entertained at a
luncheon in the schoolhouse. A good meal, nicely
served by the ladies of the village, was followed by
several happy speeches. After luncheon a start was
made southward. At several points the train was stop¬
ped to allow examination of outcrops along the railway.
At Garson lake several of the party showed more in¬
terest in the water than in the rocks, and by general
consent a stop was made to permit of a more intimate
acquaintance with the lake. Refreshed by a swim, the
party was then taken to the Coniston roast yards and
•smelter.

At Coniston the Mond Nickel Company has recently
constructed a very complete smelting plant- for the
treatment of nickel-copper ores, and much interest was
shown in the methods of handling the ore and furnace
products here. The officers of the company conducted
parties through the plant and explained the processes.
Several labour and heat-saving devices have been intro¬
duced in the new plant.

In the evening the party returned to Sudbury, and
on Sunday afternoon the train pulled out for Cobalt
and Porcupine.

MARITIME PROVINCES EXCURSION.

Visit to the Sydney Coalfield.

Cape Breton Island, within the past few years, has
been visited during the summer months by many asso¬
ciations and congresses, and bodies of persons joined
together for some ostensibly educative purpose. These
parties have curiously coincided with hot weather in
other parts of the American continent, and it has been
shrewdly surmised that a desire to feel the cool At¬
lantic breezes was not altogether unconnected with the

presence of these gatherings in Cape Breton, and there
has been a feeling that business was sometimes inter¬
fered with unnecessarily in receiving and entertain¬
ing the visitors, for it is in the summer time that the
coal mines and steel works are most busy, and inter¬
ruptions are sufficiently numerous without further ad¬
ditions.

A pleasing exception, however, is the recent visit
of a portion of the International Geological Congress
to the Sydney coalfield. The geologists who composed
this party were very evidently not on a junketing ex¬
cursion, and the inspection of any undeveloped country
by a discerning and well-informed) party of specialists
such as made up the Maritime Provinces excursion of
the Geological Congress, cannot but be followed by an
increasing interest in its resources and a more exact
knowledge of its geological characteristics.

The Sydney trip commenced on Wednesday, the 23rd
of July, with a visit to the Point Edward limestones,
where the party inspected Limestone Point. Here the
bedded limestones are seen dipping under the north¬
west arm of Sydney Harbour, and can be observed to
disappear under the Millstone Grit on the other side
of the arm. Several of the party evinced considerable
interest in a curious appearance shown by weathered
fragments of the limestone, the surface of the rock
being covered by closely packed circular knobs show¬
ing a distinct concretionary structure. One learned
gentleman remarked that the rock had “a curious
botyroidal structure resembling sheep’s brains.” More
may be heard of this, when the specimens reach
Europe! An old quarry, known as Louisburg Quarry
was next visited, which is said to have furnished lime
for the French fortifications at Louisburg. Here
numerous shell fossils were to he seen and further
nodular specimens. The Nova Scotia Steel Company’s
quarries at Point- Edward Post Office were then visited,
where the full bench of the bedded limestone was ex¬
posed in working face. The limestone bed was covered
with from ten to twenty feet of reddish drift, and in
some places the top of the limestone was curiously
water-worn.

Taking the ferry steamer at Leitch-es Creek, t-he
party sailed down the Northwest Arm and landed at
the Quarantine station on Point Edward, about on the
axis of the anticline, which divides the two arms of
Sydney Harbour. Here an exposure of black shale
was visited that yielded a large number of small fossil
fauna, particularly the minute fossil shell Leaia. One
of the German geologists picked up from the under¬
lying sandstones a fine specimen of a fish-spine about
eight inches in length, and a compatriot was the proud
possessor of a slab of sandstone showing a well defined
cast of mud-cracks arranged in rough pentagons over
its lower surface. The black-shale bed occurred just
about breast-high, and in a favourable position for
attack. An interesting photograph might have been
had of some forty persons ranged in a continuous row
vigorously attacking the crumbling shale with their
hands, and all, apparently, well pleased with their
finds.

From Point- Edward the geologists proceeded to
North Sydney, landing there and taking the tram-car
to the point where the Millstone Grit, said to be here
over 3,000 feet in thickness, gives place to the true
Coal Measures. The party descended the cliffs and
walked at the base as far as the outcrop of the
Sydney Main Seam. Several members of the party pre¬
ferred the highway to the rocky base of the cliffs, re¬
marking that they had seen Millstone Grit before; but
by the time coaLbearing measures were reached the

only large bodies of students from the United States,
but also from foreign countries. Prof. McLeod said
he also wished to express the thanks of McGill for the
brilliant courses of lectures lie has delivered to her
students.

Prof. Kemp said in reply that he certainly felt very
much at home in a McGill audience, and 1 in a McGill
alumni. He spoke of the great part geology has play¬
ed in progress, and he referred to the great work that
McGill has done in this sphere. He recalled the labours
of Sir William Dawson and Sir William Logan in the
rocks of Ontario and Nova Scotia, of Prof. Harring¬

Dean Adams introduced Prof. Alfred Lacroix, mem¬
ber of the French Institute for the degree. He did
much work in Guiana, Madagascar, Martinique after
the volcanic eruption, where he was sent in a French

study of minerals in solving scientific problems, and
the furthering of human progress. •

Dean Adams said they were glad to have in Canada
such a distinguished body of scientists from all the
Seven Seas. He hoped they might go away well
pleased with the Dominion, and he hoped that they

Wherry, U.S.A.; II. B. Wallis, England; P. Zoude, Bel¬
gium; A. G. B.Wil'braham, England; B. Weigand, Ger¬
many. Mr. T. C. Denis, Superintendent of Mines for
Quebec, and Mr. J. A. Dresser, geologist for the Lake
Superior Corporation, were file leaders, and they made
the excursion a very interesting one.

11. B. Wallis and A. G. B. Wilbraham, mining engin¬
eers of London, England, were members of the Sud-
bury-Cobalt-Porcupine excursion, and will go west to
the Pacific Coast and up to the Yukon after the To¬
ronto meeting.

Among the members of the A3 excursion who vis¬
ited the Kirkland Lake gold fields last month were
Bedford McNeill, president, and A. G. Charleton, past
president, of the Institution of Mining and Metallurgy.

Dean Moyse, in the name of Principal Peterson, gave
them a hearty welcome to McGill University. It is a
young university, said he. It was founded in 1821 and
'in 1829 it began its work. It nearly perished, but the
medical faculty, the doctors, kept it alive. Then came
Sir William Dawson, a Scotchman, McGill is a Scotch
university, many of its professors are Scotch, but the
English professors do much to hold their own. So far
as geology is concerned, McGill is the Mecca of geolo¬
gists, and he cannot see why they should meet in
Toronto. Canada was a country of boundless re¬
sources, and her universities were busy in turning out
men to grapple with them. But they must not forget
they have an arts faculty and turned out a Rhodes
scholar, who won the blue ribbon of Oxford scholar¬
ship. He regretted that they had not received a civic
welcome, and he hoped that when they came again
they would receive one that would make up for the
absence of one this time.

From the Convocation Hall adjournment was made
to the Windsor Hotel, where the visitors were the
guests of the Montreal reception committee to a lunch¬
eon. An orchestra played the national airs of the
countries represented by the geologists.

Dr. Milton Hersey, in behalf of McGill, and Laval
Universities, the local committee, and the various
learned societies, conveyed their greetings to the party.
Various so-called international conferences had been
held in Canada at various times, but this was the first
one held here worthy of the title, international.

Geologists, said Dr. Hersey, are the only persons
who can go back to the earliest stages of the earth’s
history. This was a new country, only three hundred
years old, but within a stone’s throw of this hotel were
rocks of the oldest geological formation.

Dean Adams, of the McGill Faculty of Applied Sci¬
ence, and president of the conference, thanked Dr.
Hersey for the splendid reception. He then read off
a list of no less than twelve excursions from Montreal,
got up for the visitors. The majority go to Toronto
and Niagara Falls, and leave at various times.

GERMAN DELEGATES TO THE INTERNATIO NAL GEOLOGICAL CONGRESS AT TORONTO,

Left to right.—Dr. Weber (Bonn University), Dr. Lachmann (Breslau), Dr. Mann (Bonn), Dr. Hoinel (Bonn), Dr.
Baden (Munich).

TlYHE importance of such a gathering as the Interna-
1 tional Geological Congress, recently held at Toronto,
could not be overestimated. Not only in its immense
scope—for it is estimated that the native tongues of the
various delegates embraced upwards of twenty-five langu¬
ages, while many more countries were represented—
rendered it important. The significant fact for all coun¬
tries to consider, and especially young countries like
Canada, is that everywhere the geologist is the pathfinder
of wealth. His services mean more to the world’s
prosperity perhaps than those of any other man, except
perhaps the scientific agriculturist, who succeeds in mak¬
ing two blades of grass grow where one grew before.

Some people, who rate knowledge cheaply, have no
doubt been inclined to rate the geologist as a person
chiefly employed in upsetting orthodox ideas as to the
creation of the world. Undoubtedly the science of geo¬
logy, which developed so rapidly in the nineteenth cen¬
tury, did contribute largely to dissipating the belief once
generally accepted that the world was made in six days of
twenty-four hours each, but it has also done much to in¬
spire true religion by revealing to the imagination of
mankind the inconceivable vastness on which the uni¬
verse is planned. The old theological conception of a
world a little over six thousand years old, is insignificant
compared with the geologist’s revelation of a world whose
natural history stretches back through countless aeons
of time. The geologist's contribution to the enlargement
and illumination of the human mind is therefore in
essence as great as that of the philosopher and the poet.

Moreover, in addition to the cultural effect of his ser¬
vices to humanity the geologist may lay claim to practical
service, and it is no doubt the commercial aspect of his
science that most appeals to the average man. As has
been said he is the pathfinder of wealth. Seldom a wealthy
man himself, he indicates—as surely as does the needle
of the compass, the location of the north star—the
sources of wealth. The practical man follows in his
path, and makes fortunes out of his discoveries. With
his science as a basic influence, great- industries, great
towns, and great accumulations of capital are built up.
He knows where the gold, the silver, the coal, the iron,
the copper—all the minerals which play an integral part
in our civilization—are to be found. What Canada or j
the United States, or Australia or South Africa, or any
of the younger nations which have grown to vast wealth
within the memory of living man have owed to the
science of geology who could estimate? What the older
and stagnant empires, like those of Russia and China will
yet owe to it who will venture to predict?

GUESTS OF UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO.

The reception to the members of the Geological Congress and their friend-s
was a distinguished gathering of men and women from all parts of
the globe.

TWO DAYS TO
BE SPENT
IIUOBALT

Geologists Will Arr ive in
Silver Camp on Mon¬
day Morning

1 Owing to the very pronounced de
sire of the members of the first partj
of geologists to see more of the golf
and silver sections of Northern On
tario Dr. Miller has entirely re-ar
ranged the program for the C6 ex
cursion. It will arrive here on Mon
day morning and two entire dayi
will be spent here concluding with i
reception at the Masonic Hall. Om
entire day will also be spent on Laki
Timiskamdng, as it was felt that t
great deal more time could be use.<
on the lake to advantage than wai
spent on the first trip and the party
will depart for Porcupine on thi
night of Wednesday. Coming bad!
the Alexo mine will be visited and
also Kirkland Lake.

SCIENTIST STANDS BY
STRONG ‘WHITE’ POLICY

Believes in Exclusion Laws in
British Countries

EDUCATION IS BEST TEST

Colored Race* Tend to Lower Moral
and Indnstrlal Fibre, Declares
Director Kltson—Beat for Both to
Keep Apart.

"Yes, I am thoroughly in accord
with the ‘White Australia’ policy,”
said Mr. A. E. Kltson, the Director
of the Geological Survey of the Gold
Coast. Mr. Kltson, who is one of the
most traveled men at the Geological
Congress, Is eminently qualified to
speak upon the subject of the colored
races and the extent of the range of
contact between the colored races and
whites.

“Recently,” said Mr. Kltson, “the
Earl of Selborne, who is President of
the Pretoria Diocesan Association, ad¬
vised that native girls be trained to
work as domestlo servants, not only
for their own sake but for the sake
of the country. ‘Doubtless you are
aware,’ said Lord Selborne, ‘that in
nearly all parts of Africa black men
are employed as cooks, housemaids
and nursemaids and the whole thing
Is utterly wrong.’

“On the Guinea Coast, for in¬
stance,” said Mr. Kltson, “when white
men first went there they, of course,
i engaged black youths to do all their
domestic duties for them, but latterly
Europeans have taken their wives out
there and these native youths are still
doing duties which properly belong
to native girls.”

“What do you suggest as a reme¬
dy?"

“Naturally the employment of na¬
tive girls for white women. There
is something quite repugnant in the
Idea of a male youth looking after-
the clothes of white women, attending
to baths and domestlo duties. The
Australian authorities are to be
heartily commended for keeping out
the colored miner and machinist
coolies of any country. They not
only reduce the wages of white men,
but tend to lower the morale of a
country. It will be a long time be¬
fore equality in the matter of immi¬
gration can be granted to them.”

“Rut would you preclude men such .
as we have had at our Congress from
Asia?”

Education the Test.

“Certainly not. Any man who has
been educated and who comes to
bring and carry away useful informa¬
tion with him would and should be
heartily welcomed not only as re¬
gard? himself, but because in that
way knowledge will be disseminated.
The Australian policy of restricting
colored immigrants is one that has
been jibed at in many parts of the
world, but I feel sure that the men
in Australia understand the conditions
around them and are doing the right
thing.”

“Can you give instances of ilUef-
fects in the matter of allowing col¬
ored races to enter any part of Great
Britain or the colonies?”

“I have seen and heard things in
West Africa which should make Eng¬
lishmen in particular very careful in
allowing these men to enter English
ports. Boys living on the Kru Coast
are engaged by the steamship lines
as firemen. They arrive in Liverpool
with money in their pockets, and they
dress themselves in their best clothes
and go ashore. What is the result?
They return to the Coast with photos
of English factory girls in their pock¬
ets, show letters they have received
from them and boast of their con¬
quests across the sea in the most
objectionable way. It has besides a
pernicious influence upon the attitude
of the ignorant natives of the coun¬
try towards the white people who
govern them.”

“Do you think Canada is likely to
suffer in the West in the same way?”

“I came here by way of- Australia
and San Francisco, but from what I
heard from reputable people In the
West the conditions in British Col¬
umbia are in some respects worse
than in Africa. You have there male
Asiatic domestic servants who live in
the same houses as the families do
and mix freely with the whit© do¬
mestics.”

UNIVERSITY GARDEN PARTY.

After the ceremony of conferring
degrees in Convocation Hall on Fri¬
day afternoon, at the university, the
Chancellor, Sir William Meredith and
the president. Dr. Falconer, with the
mace carried in front of them, headed
the procession to the quadrangle,
where they received the guests in¬
vited to a garden party in honor of
the International Geological Congress,
by the board of governors of the
University of Toronto. The band of
the 12th York Rangers played the
most delightful Scotch music on the
terrace during the afternoon. A large
marquee on the north side of the
lawn accommodated the tea-tables,
which were gay with scarlet gladioli.
The members of the congress and
their confreres in town had became so
friendly that they were loth to say
good-by, but many of them left for
Vancouver, Montreal slnd various
places last night, and many were the
appointments made to meet in London
at no very distant date. A few of
those present were: Dr. and Mrs.
Frank Adams, Montreal; Mrs Kerr,
Mr. and Mrs. David Dunlap, Mr. and

Anthems were part of the programme.
Everything came in for its quota of
admiration, but most of all the young

Sew Strike of Placer Gold is Reported
Undoubtedly Rich.

Skagway, Alaska, Aug. 15.—Hon. J.
P. Hazen, Canadian Minister of Ma¬
rine, arrived from the interior yester¬
day and sailed south to-night. He
has received the following telegram
from Geo. Black, Governor of the
Yukon, Dawson City: —

“Dr. Cairns,' Dominion Geologist/
who has returned from White River
and the Shushanna districts, reports
that the new strike is undoubtedly
rich. The known area is yet of
necessity limited.

“Gold had been found on four
creeks. The formation is good for
the deposit of gold. The claims ex¬
tend to the Canadian sidef. The
Cairns party staked claims. I have ’
approved the Customs proposal to ex¬
pedite the movement of goods into
the Shushanna. where they are great- 1
ly needed. I strongly advise against 1
men going in without supplies.’’

THE DUNLAP ROSEDALE RESIDENCE AND GROUNDS DURING THE GARDEN PARTY GIVEN TO

THE VISITING GEOLOGISTS.

MRS. CHARLETON, ONE OF THE PROMINENT WOMEN AT THE
GEOLOGISTS’ GARDEN PARTY.

Our Visitor*

%-

The guides to the first excursion
from 1 the International Congress
found such avidity for information
anent Timiskaming that our visitors
who arrive to-day will stay two
whole days in Cobalt, will employ
another in studying the rocks round
Lake Timiskaming, and will visit
Kirkland Lake as well as Porcupine
as the regular portion of their trip.

The alterations have been made
owing to the experience of the wishes
of the first excursionists. Science is
a great unifier. Bulgaria has been
crushed to the earth in defeat, yet
that does not prevent a represents.
tive of King Ferdinand from visiting
Canada. It is to be notic¬
ed, however, that representa¬
tives of none of the other warring
Balkan allies are included in the
trip.

There is quite a large contingent
from Russia and Professor Hoki of
Japan is also of the party. The
party is not so pronouncedly Anglo ]
Saxon as the first and the yellow
and green ribbons in the button
holes, signifying that the wearers
speaking German and French, will be
much more prominent. There are
very few Americans and only three
Englishman, but the Canadians have
taken even greater advantage of it
than otf the trip preceding the Con¬
gress.

It is unfortunate that the excur¬
sions that should have returned from)
the west via the Transcontinental
should have been obliged to go back
without seeing the silver and gold
Sections of Northern Ontario.

The Hon. Frank Cochrane and the
Hon. W. H. Hearst will indeed go
over the Transcontinental to Winni¬
peg, but the line is scarcely in such
shape yet as to receive a heavy train
of Pullmans such as the geologists
travel in.

RUSH REALLY
STARTED FOR

■to- iqi3

Dawson Anticipates Another
Stampede—Crowded Steam¬
ers Leave for Diggings

NASUTLIN CARRIES

ASSORTED CARGO

Women Join in Rush—Brandy
and Whisky Consigned to
the Roadhouses

The rush has really started for the
White River and the Shushanna, ac¬
cording to the last issue of The Daw¬
son Weekly News. Arrivals at Daw¬
son from White Horse on August
1st, reported the steamer Vidette pro¬
ceeding up the White with passengers
and freight for the new strike. The
Nasutlin was at the mouth of the
river with the first full load of pas¬
sengers and outfits to go from Daw¬
son. All freight space on the lower
deck was occupied, and a barge was
pushed ahead on which were twenty
poling boats, 13 horses, and numer¬
ous outfits, with standees in one por¬
tion for men. Thirty standees also
were provided on the main deck of
the steamer, and all state rooms were
occupied.

Old Timers on Board.

The passengers included a good
many old-time Dawsonites. One ship¬
ment of 40 tons of freight was going
for men who have been in the camp
for some time. The average outfit
for others was 1,000 pounds. Those
not taking horses had poling boats.
The steamer will try to make the
mouth of the Donjek, and to land the
passengers there.

Many dogs and sleighs were also
on the boat, indicating the prepara¬
tions already being made for winter.

The freight is typical of that for all i
northern stampedes, and in the in- |
terior the boat looked like that of a !
steamer leaving Seattle in ’97. Yukon
stoves, picks, shovels, pans and the
like were everywhere in evidence.

Beer, Brandy, Whiskey.

One outfit took several barrels of
beer, some others had brandy, whis¬
key and goods for roadhouses. Only
one man had candles. Two single
women joined the stampeders, and
; will hike for the diggings. One pe¬
culiar shipment was a barber chair,
belonging to a stampeder who will go
prepared to shave the wild and woolly
j gold kings of the White and the Shus-
j hanna.

Dawson Alive Again.

! Steamboat crews at Whitehorse had
to load the Dawson, all the longshore¬
men having left for the new fields.
Men of other crews have deserted and
joined the muahers. The Yukon is
alive again with golden rumors. Daw¬
son City has taken on a new lease of
life. The logical base of supplies,
merchants and storekeepers are alive
to the commercial value of the rush
and are preparing for a record busi¬
ness.

Repeated warning have been ut¬
tered by those fresh from the dig¬
gings against the danger of heading
for the new fields without being well
grub staked. It is made plain that
grub cannot be laid down there save
at heavy expense, and that little more
can be done there this season by those
now going in save to prospect.

GEOLOGISTS !

ARE OF SAME HOUSEHOLD

Worship Same God—the Everlasting
Rocks.—Addresses at Cobalt
Mining Institute >

Very notable were some of the
speeches by the eminent German pe-
olog sts at Last night’s reception 'by
the Cobalt branch of the Canadian
Mining Institute. In view of the
fact that these scientists arc chiefiy
studied in the ore deposits’ in S&xcny
most’ closely analogous to Cobalt
the comparisons are of great import¬
ance to the mining industry here. Al¬
though seriously handicapped by be¬
ing obliged to speak in an alien
tongue the German delegates most
cheerfully and' courteously spoke at
some length in order to give Cobalt
mining men the value of their great
experience.

The main feature of the programme
was an exhibition of vein photo¬
graphs by Mr. A. A. Cole, with the
aid of a lantern. These photographs
are now recognized as unique in the
history of mining photography and
the visitors were most impressed with
tlreir excellence. They cover every
feature of the ore deposits of the
camp, show the different veins in the
various formations and tell most
graphically and sin.ply the history
of the ores of the camp. Mr. Cole
also has figures with each photo¬
graph showing the number of ounces
to the ton and the marvellous rich¬
ness of the ere. At the end of 'his
lecture he was warmly thanked.

Mr. E. V. Neelands, chairman of
the Cobalt branch of the Canadian
Mining Institute warmly welcomed
the visitors. He said that men were
naturally partial to their own kin
and’ they felt that geologists and
mining engineers belonged to the
same family. They all worshipped
the same household god, the ever¬
lasting rocks, although they special¬
ized along different lines. Without
the geologist the miner would be
often a,t a loss and without the miner
the geologists would not be able to
make more than a superficial exam¬
ination of the surlace of the rocks.
He then called upon Dr. Beck, of
Freiberg, Germany, to give them the
benefit of his experience in the Sa.x-
cny fields in comparison with Co¬
balt.

Dr. Beck paid a high tribute to
the exoeHence of the lantern slides
of Mr. Cole. He then went on to fay
that the Saxony veins were very sim¬
ilar in many respects to the Cobalt
deposits but they were not a’ikc in
all details.

In Germany the Cobalt ores were
associated with large masses of gran¬
ite which was not the case in Co’bVR-
The tin voins often changed into veins
of galena with an important content
of silver. In some cases it was pos¬
sible to notice that the same vein
contained tin at one end and galena
and silver at the other. Cobalt ores
were found in another class of veins
above the surface of the granite mas¬
ses. They had the same experience
with the granite as some of the Co¬
balt mines had with the keewatin.

When the veins encountered it they
| contained little or no ore. The voins
[ became poorer and poorer and could
j not be worked in the granite at all.
jin Schneeberg in their cobalt veins
! they had niceolite, cobalt and bis-j
ninth much as they had in the Co- j
| bait camp, but they also had much
j barite which was not common in the
I ores in Canada. But he had been I
j told by a mine manager that there
! was plenty of barite in the veins in
an outlying camp, which would give
i another resemblance to the German
i ores. They also in Germany had
j many small veins and thev were very
i rich. At the first discovery the Uer-
! man ores were perhaps as rich as
j those of Cobalt. The miners made a
I table of solid native silver and ar-
gentite and invited one of their
i princes ro take lunch at their table,
i There were still some pieces of that
! famous ,-table in the Museum at Dres-
j den.

I “Perhaps,” concluded Dr. Beck,
j amidst laughter, “you will have an
I opportunity of making a table of sil-
! ver for your king if he comes to Co-
| bait.”

Dr. John Paul Krusch, another
famous authority on ore depositslsaid
that he had been much interested in
the veins he had seen to-day inas¬
much as they resembled the fields he
was acquainted with. The principal
difference he saw was that thev prin¬
cipally had rock in Germany while in
Canada they principally had ore.
(laughter.)

Mr. Edward Rcngers Schoch, man¬
ager of the Rooiberg Minerals De¬
velopment Co., Transvaal, South
Africa, said they heard a great deal
about Cobalt in South Africa, but
being an engineer he always liked to
see for himself. Now he had seen
and he must say that the reports had
not been overstated, in fact they
had been understated. As a mining
engineer he was only an amateur
geologist, but coming from a great
mining field he had tried to compare
conditions as regards management,
efficiency and methods of work. And
he could tell them that as the result
of his experience he could say that
the Canadian mining engineer- could
hold his own. The mines in Cobalt
seemed safe, well regulated, and well
run. From the purely financial point
of view the Canadians had nothing
to be ashamed of.

It is understood that if it is at all
possible the C2 excursion, one of

Today most of the 44 members of
excursion C6 from the International
Congress will visit mills 'and refining
plants. They are all particularly
anxious to sec the Nipiss'ing’s high-
grade and low grade mills, where
soma very interesting metallurgical
problems have been worked out.

Others, among them Dr. Beck of
| Freiberg, arc too enthusiastic geolo¬
gists to visit the mills,and they will
make still more complete their col¬
lection of specimens.

This afternoon the whole party to spend a little time in Porcupine
will bo taken out to the Kerr Lake and Cobalt,
mines. Tonight an informal recep
tion will he tendered to
at the Masonic‘ Ha 11. Mr
will repeat his illustrated lecture on
the veins of the camp, and it is hop¬
ed that some of the visitors will be
prevailed upon to give some impres¬
sions of their visit to Canada.

Unlike the first excursion there are
no ladies in the present party. Dr.

Richard Beck, found a certain resem¬
blance to the Cobalt veins in certain
European deposits. He and his fath¬
er and grandfather have been engag¬
ed in the mining of the Saxony ore
deposits which so closely resemble
the Cobalt camp. The mines are
almost worked out, but the smelters
have with long experience attained
such a lead in the treatment of
cobalt oxide ores, that they can af¬
ford to buy all over the world and
make a good profit. I

The demand for cobalt ore is in¬
creasing slowly but steadily. It is;

! being used in the production of high-j
class ware, and in conjunction with
chromium and also in hardening
steel. But there is no reliable indi-

During the last session of the house
R. F. Green, member for Kootenay,
had kept the matter much to the fore
and had spoken at every opportunity
to R. W. Brock, director of the geo¬
logical branch of the mines depart¬
ment and leader of tile present ex¬
cursion, and to himself on the possi¬
bilities of the zinc mining industry
of Kootenay, stated Mr. Coderre.

Not satisfied with the small experi¬
ments alone, Dr. Eugene Haanel and
Mr. Ingalls had succeeded in obtain¬
ing permission to conduct large exper¬
iments at the Nelson smelter, the use
of which the British Columbia gov¬
ernment had offered gratis.

Mr. Coderre stated that-- he was
pleased to be able to stay in Nelsqn
and meet tile men vitally interested
in the matter and he hoped and ex¬
pected that his conference this morn¬
ing with the council of the board of
trade and the mining men would prove
of much value to him and to the gov¬
ernment. . '

The geological congress and the ex¬
cursions which are being made
throughout the country are arranged
at a considerable expense to the coun¬
try, hut they will be of immense value
to the Dominion at large and particu¬
larly to the mining districts, said Mr.
Coderre. Forty-six nations are repre¬
sented in the party, he said, and some
of these are official representatives
from their countries, who will make
reports of their trip, and he felt sure
that their reports would be glowingly
favorable, judging from the extreme
surprise shown by the members of
the party at the wonderful natural
resources and especially the mines of
the country. The excursions were be¬
ing enjoyed very much by all.

Expects Royal Commission.

On his return to Ottawa early next
month Mr. Coderre said be expected
to see the royal commission to in¬
vestigate mining conditions in the
"west appointed, as had been asked.

On the trip through the Crows’Nest
pass the party visited the coal mines
at Bull River, Maple Creek, Hillcrest,
Corbin, Coleman, Coal Creek and
Fernie and had found that those mines
were full of promise, said Mr. Coderre,
especially the mine at Corbin, where
a seam was open 185 feet deep. It
proved a unique sight to the geolo¬
gists, he said, similar to which they
claimed to have seen jiothing else¬
where in the world.

It was his first trip west of Winni¬
peg and he was delighted with the
country, its resources and prospects,
and his eyes had been opened as re¬
gards the west, which he now saw in
an altogether new light. He would
1 carry back with him a. new impression
I of the vast Dominion of Canada. He
expected to return better physically
and intellectually from his trip.

Speaking of his trip on Kootenay
lake he was struck with the large culti¬
vated. areas along the lake shore and
with the evident signs of prosperous
ranches.

Nelson, dressed in its brilliant elec¬
tric lights, appealed to him very much
and De was delighted with what he
had seen of the city.

Mr. Coderre is accompanied by
Madame Coderre; his sister, Miss Co¬
derre; Madame Falardeau, his two
sons, Louis and Charles, and E. Para¬
dis, his private secretary.

for Ponnington. ffom which point Mr.
Coderre’s special car Lorien will be
picked up by the coast train this eve¬
ning and the party will proceed to
Rossland.

Geologists Arrive.

The geological party arrived on the
steamer Nasookin last evening, having
been met by a deputation from the
Nelson board of trade at Kootenay
Landing.

Immediately on arriving lie party
was conducted to the .publici y bureau,
where the mineral display from all
parts of the Kootenay and Boundary
country had been placed cn exhibit
to good advantage. Many expressions
of delighted surprise were heard in
the building from many of the geolo¬
gists, who closely examined the ex¬
hibits from each district.

Guided by Mr. Brock, who is leader
of the party, H. E. T. Haultain and
H. Frechette, who act in the capacity
of secretaries, the party then pro¬
ceeded to the Strathcona hotel, where 1
an informal social evening was spent

and refreshments served.

The foreign members of the party
are astonished with what they have
seen on their journey, said Mr. Haul-
tain in discussing the tr.ip. “The Can¬
adian Pacific railway has treated us
royally, there having been not the
slightest hitch, fault or flaw during
our trip across the Dominion.

Mr. Sturdu, from the general pas¬
senger agent’s office in Montreal, has
accompanied the party throughout the
journey in order look after its wants
and to' see that nothing is left undone
for the comfort of the party.

Make Thorough investigation.
Geological guides from the survey
at Ottawa are with the party and all
the geological features en ro/;e aie
inspected and studied, nor do the vis¬
itors confine their investigations to
geology as in each locality a search¬
ing enquiry is made into the social
and economic conditions of the coun¬
try. Lectures are given on varied
topics on the train and all matters ot
interest concerning the district being
traversed are fully discussed.

The geologists inspected the Crows
Nest coal mines and were greatly Im¬
pressed with them, particularly at
Ccrbin, the showing there being look-;
ed upon as one of the best en route ,
Included in the party are; Bedford;
McNeil, president of the Institute 01
Mining and Metallurgy, London; J. B.
Terrill the Toronto explorer, geologist
and mining engineer, and John Ash-
worth, president of the Manchester'
Geological and Mining society.

Mr Ashworth is of the opinion tuat
Canada, and particularly British Co¬
lumbia, is on the verge of a, great eia
of mining prosperity, in which he is
keenly interested.

During last evening the city hand
played on the balcony of the Strath¬
cona hotel, where the geologists were
entertained and registered during

their stay. , ..

The party’s train reached the city
about 10 o’clock last evening and the
party will leave at 4 o’clock this morn¬
ing for the Boundary, where they win

conduct further investigations.

Geologists Visit Boundary
Minister Sees Power Plants

Accompanied by a party of the
members of the board of trade, Hon.
Louis Codez-re, secretary of state and
minister of mines in the federal cab¬
inet, and a number of the members ' f
the geological congress, visited Bon-
nington Falls and Creel Lodge at
Slocan Junction by special train yes¬
terday afternoon.

The party visited the big power
plant of the West Kootenay Power &
Light company and saw the big falls,
where thousands of horsepower of
latent energy lie at the disposal of the
district, the minister being particu¬
larly struck with the great benefit that
the power which it is possible to de¬
velop at that point would be to the
mining industry of Kootenay and the
Boundary.

The party was shown over the plant
by officials of the power company, and
every point of interest in connection
with the big electrical works was
thoroughly explained. The minister
showed a great keenness to familiarize
himself with the intricate machinery
that is used by the company to de¬
velop the 20,000 horsepower of elec¬
tricity to which 9000 additional horse¬
power is soon to be added.

Very much were the minister and
his party struck with the beauty of
the scenery along the Kootenay river,
particularly in the vicinity of the falls
and the Slocan pool, and the interest
in this feature of the trip was only
overridden by the interest in the vast
possibilities of the development of
power at Bonnington Falls.

After visiting the power plant, the
party went to Creel Lodge at Slocan
Junction, where refreshments were
provided. The minister remained at
the junction in his car and left last
evening for Rossland. The Nelson
party returned to the city on the
Boundary train.

GRAND FORKS, B. C., Aug. 21 —
Seventy-five members of the geologi¬
cal congress and a large number of
ladies arrived in the city this morning
on a special over the Canadian Pacific
from Nelson.

The party, which is making a tour
of the Dominion, is under the guid¬
ance of R. W. Brock and O. E. Leroy
of the department of mines, Ottawa.
The train, which was composed of nine
Pullman dining and baggage cars, was
the finest equipped ever seen in this
section of the country.

The party was met at the new union
depot by-a committee of citizens and
escorted to autos, ample accommoda¬
tion being provided, and was taken
for a drive through the valley. The
visitors inspected the fruit orchards,
which at the present time are looking
at their best, the autos landing them
at the Granby smelter, where they
spent some time in looking over and
examining the largest copper reduc¬
tion works in the British empire, un¬
der the guidance of Superintendent
Bishop and the office staff.

Possibilities Impress Visitors.

About 11 o’clock the members of
the congress and their wives boarded
the special train, which had been run
up to the smelter, for Phoenix, where
they will inspect tile larger produc¬
ing mines of the district, after which
they will drive down the hill to Green¬
wood to look over the smelter of the
(British Columbia Copper company.

The party, which represents many
nations, was very favorably impressed
with the possibilities of the district,
one prominent Britisher stating that
in all the tour of the Canadian west
he had not witnessed a city where
better inducements were offered for
the establishment of a large number
of industries.

The special passed through the city
tonight on its way to Oastlegar, and
will carry the distinguished visitors
to Trail, where they will inspect The
large smelting works of the Consoli¬
dated company tomorrow morning,
visiting the mines at Rossland in the
afternoon, returning to Castlegar to¬
morrow evening and taking the boat j
for Arrowhead and going on to the
I coast.

PHOENIX. B. C.. Aug. 21—The spe¬
cial train carrying the 75 delegates of
the International Geological congress,
jWho have elected to make a study of
matters geological in the Boundary
district, steamed into this city at
12:45 o’clock today. The party dis¬
embarked at the Rawhide mine and
made its way on foot over the hill via
the Grey Eagle claim, to the west
1 side of the “glory hole” of the Cpanby
1 mine. About half of the party en¬
tered the mine and was shown over
the various workings by the superin¬
tendent, Charles M. Campbell, assist¬
ed by a number of officials of the
Granby company.

The other half elected to make a
tour of the surface and examine the
geology around and adjacent to the
Granby claims, ds well as those of
the British Columbia Copper company,
including the Brooklyn and Stemwind-
er properties.

Lunch was served in the large din¬
ing room of the Granby hotel and at
5 o’clock the scientists left for Green¬
wood, where a visit to the British
Columbia Copper company’s smelter
took place. Quite a, number, however,
elected to take advantage of the ex¬
cellent weather and made the trip to
the valley on foot. While the men of
the party were engaged in their geo¬
logical pursuits, the women of the
party to the number of six were pleas¬
antly entertained bv Mrs. Campbell,
wife of the Granby company’s super¬
intendent, assisted by a number of
local women.

The visitors before leaving ex¬
pressed their pleasure for the cour¬
tesies extended by the officials of the
mines.

Much Interested in Their , Ask Through the Nugget
Visit to the Goldfields To Thank aM who Made

Their Stay Enjoyable

{From Nugget Representative.)
IROQUOIS FALLS, Aug. 22.—To
commence a second busy day exam¬
ining goldfields the geological con¬
gress excursionists this morning spent*
two hours at the nickel property of
the Alexo Mines. The formation and
general conditions were noted and
the mining methods by the infant
nickel company discussed.

Yesterday was an extremely busy
day for the visitors, when they visit¬
ed thir first gold camp of the north
in the Porcupine district. Rising
early the members had scattered to
various surface showings of the Big
I Dome mines, before eight ojclock.
The “gfory hole” was a point of in¬
terest, while the geologists found
many interesting features in the gen¬
eral surface formation. The hundred
foot level was visited and after¬
wards a trip of inspection made
through the mill.

In the afternoon the Hoilinger was
the scene of the studies of the party
and in addition nearly two miles of
underground workings were shown
the visitors on various levels. There
was a wild scramble for gold samf
pies during the day the result of
which meant the sorting over of
various dumps at the two mines and
nearly every member returned with
a sample of Porcupine gold in its
native state 1 . This afternoon the
party will visit Kirkland Lake and
Swastika districts, but a heavy rain
now falling may mar the day to
some extent.

Taanks Of Geologists

Swastika, Aug. 22.
Editor Daily Nugget,

Cobalt.

Dear Sir,—Wc foreign geolo¬
gists left Cobalt with the feel¬
ing of heartiest thanks for the
kindness of all the inhabitants
of your town. The hospitality
which wo found everywhere will
never let us forget the inter¬
esting days spent in the fam¬
ous silver centre.

Yours sincerely,

DR. RICHARD BECK,
Royal Bcrgkademic Rekarat,
Freiberg, Saxony,

Germany.

‘‘We were more than satisfied with
what we saw at Cobalt on our visit
there this week,” stated Dr. Richard
Beck, Rektor der Kgl. Bcrakadcmie,
Freiberg, Germany, in an interview
with a Nugget representative at
Swastika last night, after the well
known German geologist had return¬
ed ifrom a visit to the Kirkland lake
section.

:

‘‘What arc your impressions of
Kirkland Lake,” queried the reporter
and the answer received was ‘‘Very,
very promising.” Dr. Beck stated j
that he had never seen so rich an 1
ore as that being mined in the new
camp, while the fact that so many
surface veins with free gold showings
argued well for the district, and
made, it appear to he one of the
greatest prospects he had ever known.
Porcupine with its large veins also
impressed Dr. Beck and other Ger¬
man gelogists greatly and the recep¬
tion they received in these camps
and Cobalt would always be remem¬
bered by them.

‘‘I want the Daily Nugget to ex¬
press the, thanks of the foreign geol¬
ogists to all those who so kindly
assisted us in every way in your
northern mining camps," stated Dr.
Berk, who like all other foreign visi¬
tors was enthusiastic over the recep-j
I, ions at. all points visited.

‘‘One impression which struck me
forcibly,” continued the doctor,
"was the number of young mining
engineers and mining geologists who
are, at work in the camips of this
|section. They are working with all
the up-to-date methods of science and
it argues well for a camp when so
many young energetic men arc at the
head of affairs.”

The tellurides Kirkland Lake re
semible the tellurides in Bohemia near
Gaissejovic, the only point in the Ger¬
man Empire where telluride shows
gold value. While the occurrence of
the ores is similar to the German
product does not carry gold in the
same grade quantities in the Kirk¬
land section. There is only one gold
mine in Germany, although in Aus¬
tria and Bohemia there are several
working properties, all on a low
grade basis.

MOST REMARKABLE ORE THE GEOLOGISTS ARE
SPECIALIST HAD EVER SEEN HEARTILY WELCOMED

Geologists Much Impressed With Visit
To Porcupine and Kirkland Lake

Seventy-five Scholars from all Quarters
of the Globe Visit The Rossland Mines.
Will Return With Lasting Impressions.

Favorable impressions' of: Northern
Ontario gold camps will always re¬
main fresh in the memories of the
members of the geologists Congress
excursion C.G after the two-dav in¬
spections- at the Porcupine and Kirk¬
land lake fields. Thursday was spent
in the older of the camps, while yes¬
terday was devoted to a trip to the
Kirkland lake district, where the
geologists were more than surprised
at the abundance of native gold to
be seen in the veins.

The fact that a. downpour of rain
kept up during the afternoon and
evening did not dampen the ardor of
these men in seeing Kirkland, At
Swastika, station a number of rigs
were in waiting and of the party only
three preferred to remain with the
train. The party managed to arrive
at the mine over the seven-mile road
without being drenched, but returning
in the evening the rainfall was ex¬
ceptionally heavv and all the mem¬
bers of the party although provided
with waterproof coats, were soaked.

Dr. E. Howe, Newport, R.I., a min-
ing engineer specializing in gold ores,
described his visit to the Tough-Oakes
in a) manner which showed that he wa3
an enthusiast of the first order for
the new camp. “No one could make
me believe such ore existed if I had
not seen it,” he stated, as he gazed
on the gold showings at the 100-foot
level in the vein and wall. He char¬
acterized the vein as being the most
I remarkable, and richest he had ever
seen and added that he had been in
many mining camps.

Other geologists and mining engin¬
eers were impressed in a like manner
and they braved the rain to walk
around the surface and be shown
other veins on the Tough-Oakes as
well as the Burnside, Wright Har¬
graves and other properties in the
immediate section. The men were
gazing at veins with exceptionally
rich surface showings and the- forma¬
tion in which these ore bodies oc¬
curred was the subject of much dis¬
cussion.

The entire part- were taken under¬
ground at the Tough-Oakes to the
1'00-foot level. Here the sixtv mem¬
bers of the party posed for their
photographs taken by G. A. Smith
of Hftil&ybury with the main vein
as tji£ background. Nearly half an
hoiir-jwafi spent inspecting the vein
and formation and the visitors took
a deiiijjhit in picking out gold show¬
ings jn the veins by means of the
lights.

Realizing; that the delegates would
enjoy A few "sanfpies of gold, Manager
Charles O’Connell had a skip load of
samples from the 200 foot level
hoisfod to the-surface and put on
the dumps. “T|et us see what good
high-graders you are,” stated the
manager as the party made a bee
line foy; the samples.

Camp pinner was served at the ming
I and after the meal Dr. Miller took
the opportunity to thank Mr. -O’¬
Connell for the reception he had
given -the visitors during the day.
He referred to Mr. O’Connell’s work
in the; (pobalt camp since its earliest
days and of the excellent work which
he had done. Mr. O’Connell made a
suitable reply and thanked the party
on behalf of his chief, Mr. Foster, for
visiting the district.

The engineers found in Porcupine
and Kirkland a vast difference. 'At
the former camp large bodies of ore
running to $50,0-0 a ton were seen,
while in the newer camp the veins
were inclined to be smaller hut richer.
The formation was different too and
; it was studied extensively. At the
Dome mines on Thursday morning an
interesting portion of the visit was
the inspection of the “glory hole,”
where the original discovery is being
j broken down and then ra*is-ed to the
[ mill through the incline from the
j hundred foot level. The entire sur-
! face was inspected and the various
I formations visited and explained by
I prof. Burrows.

Many hundred feet of workings at
the 100 foot level were also inspected)
! while the mill was visited.

Jn the afternoon the members spent
nearly two hours underground at the
Hollinger mines. Almost every
working on the 100-foot level was
shown and many faces also visited
at the- 200 feet a.nd 300 feet. The
mill here was inspected and the
party taken on the dumps where
many samples of gold were secured
by various members. The Porcupine
Grown Property was also visited by
some of the party. Last night after
the return from Kirkland Lake the
party remained for some time dis¬
cussing what they had seen during
i the day, including the visit to the
Alexo nickel mine at Iroquois Falls
during the morning and every one was
I greatly impressed with the possibili¬
ties for the gold production of Tim-
iiskaming district. The high grade
i vein at the Alexo was considered by
1 many to loom into a heavy producer. 1 *
Mr. Fanning, a .mining engineer,
representing.- the American Govern¬
ment in the Philipines took an espe¬
cial interest in the gold mining of
the north country and he inspected
carefully all the mills visited as well
as the mines themselves. He consid¬
ered Kirkland as the highest grade
proposition he had ever seen, while
the large deposits, of Pdrcupine meant
to him a great production. t

'Hie citizens of Posslaud extend to
rtie members of the International Geo¬
logical Congress and the ladies a
hearty welcome. Tthese noted special¬
ists will return to their- respective
countries with lasting impressions of
j the various points in British Columbia.
In Posslaud, particularly, they will be
impressed with the complexity of the
geological structure and its intimate
bearing upon the character and extent
of tlie ore depoits upon which the life
of a milling camp depends. While
ordinarily, the years of such a camp
are limited, tlie promising showings of
unprospected ore shoots in the Poss-
land hills indicate that tlie extraction
of ore is really in its earJy stages,
and much may be expected of the
future. Tlie visitors were delighted
with a mining camp that produces such
an abundance of beautiful flowers as
was displayed at tlie luncheon, and
with tlie luxurious vegetation and
picturesque gardens along the line to
Posslaud. They viewed with interest
the vast timber resources which enter
so intimately into tile prosecution of
mining, and the splendidly model'll
methods of timbering tlie big, under¬
ground workings. Altogether, they
saw much to please them in a camp
that has produced $58,01 D.OCO in metal
values, with a yield of. f2&,(XX),000 to
tile credit of one mine alone.

The party, consisting of 75 members
and nine ladies, visited the Trail
smelter early in the day and were
met at Trail by l>r. iirysdaie, .Mayor

room of the club upstairs, about thirty-
five guests sitting down at the pretty
tables with their decorations of sweet
Peas and gypsofila.

The party was characterized by no

were delightfully informal. Mrs. Bow¬
ser presided at the head of the table,
on her right being Mrs. Paterson, wife
of the lieutenant-governor, and on her

tiien proceeded to the rink, where
they were guests at luncheon of the
Consolidated Mining and Smelting Co.,
and were welcomed, on behalf of the
city, by Mayor Deschanips. After
luncheon tlie ladies were driven about 1
the city aud the members were taken
over the route outlined for an examiu-j
atiou of the surface and underground
workings of the mines.

In his address, Mayor Deschamp#
said:

"As Mayor of Posslaud, and on be¬
half of tlie citizens. 1 am delighted to
welcome you to our city. And, while
here, we want you to he one of us,
and to feel iierfectl.v at home. I want
to tell you that we are much honored
by your visit. The provision made for
your entertainment is very simple,
but is extended with a full heart. The
mountains which you have come to
visit, and which surround us. have
produced a good many millions of
dollars in gold, silver and copper. As
men learned in geological forma¬
tions, we hope you will find enough
evidences in these mountains to en¬
courage our operators to double their
efforts and to induce the outside world

velopment.”

in the afternoon tlie ladies of tlie
party were tendered a reception at
Pie Uosland Club, and at dinner the
members were cared for at tlie various
hotels. They then gathered lor tne

velvet trimmings, welcomed the ladles
as they arrived, Mrs. Paterson also
wearing a very handsome frock of
flowered blue silk with lace trimming
and a black hat with blue plume. The
ladles of the geological party are being
entertained with the other members of
the congress at the garden party at
Government House this afternoon.

REJOIN IN VICTORIA

Congress Spend
Day in City

j Influential as was the party which
jarrhed in the city yesterday from the
■International Geologists Congress
under Dr. R. W. Brock's leadership,
those who came to-day were men of
even more widely known talents in
their profession, including some of the
great names of science. They arrived

phenomena in the vicinity of Albert
Head is particularly interesting to
scientists, and the quarrying oper¬
ations for the breakwater have ex¬
posed matter of considerable interest.

In this morning's party were some
of the best known of the visiting scic n-
tlsts, as well as representatives of the
geological survey of Canada, whose
leading members, together with those
that have already arrived, are all now
in the city.

Among to-day’s party were Dr.
Henry M. Ami, of the palaeontological
division of the geological survey; Pro¬

fessor Helge M. Baekstrom, of Dju -
sholm. Sweden, who was one of the six
distinguished visitors honored with the
doctorate of philosophy at McGill Uni¬
versity; Professor Alfred Harker, of
St. John’s College, Cambridge, another
of the visitors so honored; Dr. Flor¬
ence Bascom, professor of geology at
Bryn Mawr, Pensylvania, the most
prominent woman geologist in
America; Dr. Alfred E. Barlow, presi¬
dent of the Canadian Mining Insti¬
tute; Professor John Horne, of Edin¬
burgh; Dr. W. F. Hume, representing
the Institute Egyption, in Cairo; Dr.
T. J. Jehu, of St. Andrew’s University,
Edinburgh; Professor Charles Jv.
Leith, who holds the chair of geology
at the University of Wisconsin; Dr.
Andrew Lawson, professor of geology
and mineralogy in the University of
California, and Dr. Lewis L. Fermor,
a delegate of the government of India,
from Calcutta.

This afternoon the tw i parties were
guests of Lieut.-Governor and Mrs.

Paterson, at Government House.

Party C 2 leaves to-night, and party
C 1 will return to Vancouver on the
afternoon boat to-morrow, In order to
take the daylight passage.

It has been arranged that the mem¬
bers of Cl excursion will to-morrow bo
given an opportunity to see the stratifi¬
cation at Albert Head, as the other
party did to-day. So short has been
the time given in the rush across Can¬
ada that Victoria is specialty honored
in having this day known as “Victoria
Day" and set aside exclusively for the
purpose of seeing Victoria.

The polyglot character of the gather¬
ing could be noticed In the languages
spoken. There was a professor from
the University of Athens, three from
St. Petersburg, several from Germany,
France, and Austria, and from such
distant countries as India and Egypt.

First Party Arrived Yesterday
—Interesting View of Pos¬
sible Effects Upon Canada
by Prominent Member.

The geological invasion happened
yesterday with the arrival of’the party
designated “C2,” and from the 'flour of
their arrival till late at night the mem¬
bers of it were kept busy sight-seeing
and being generally entertained. Tally-
hos met the steamer at the wharf in
the afternoon, culled them as they
stepped from the gangway, and at once
proceeded to enlighten them as to the
beauty spots of Victoria by taking them
round the circular route. 1^ was late
in the afternoon before they discovered
their rooms at the Empress Hotel, and
then Immediately after dinner a num¬
ber of private parties went off to the
various clubs, whither they had been
freely invited, and thus left the gen¬
eral headquarters considerably de¬
pleted.

In all there were over sixty of the
original “C2” party in the city, but
even at that there was a casualty list
which accounted for the absence of
some. For instance, Mr. J. McEvoy.
the associate leader of the party, was
taken ill on the trip West, and when
he arrived in Vancouver it was found
that he was suffering from pneumonia,
and in consequence he had to be left
in the Vancouver Hospital. Dr. H. E.
Boeke, a noted German geologist
dropped out at Rossland, unable to con¬
tinue the trip. He will be picked up
on the way back. The other party,
“Cl," which arrived today, also suffered
a casualty on the way here, Dr. Cole¬
man. of Toronto University, breaking
a small bone in his leg while coming
down the mountains at Field. He was
also left at Vancouver to undergo an
X-ray examination.

Not the least interesting feature of
the day’s proceedings was the trip
which about seven of the geologists took
to Nanaimo in the afternoon, with a
view to having a look at the geological
facings of the country in the strike
district. Of course arrangements for
this little side-trip were made before¬
hand, so that the party had no difficulty
with preliminaries. On arriving at
Nanaimo last night, they were to re¬
port to the mine owners, with a view
to having an opportunity of studying
at first hand the products of the Van¬
couver Island mines. Among the mem¬
bers of the party the greatest possible
interest was evinced in the coal and
mineral possibilities of the Island, and
many of them expressed their regret
that the shortness of their visit made
it impossible for them to pay closer-
attention to this interesting topic.

Benefits Canada

An interesting interview as to the pos¬
sible effects of the Congress' excursions
throughout the Dominion was given The
Colonist last night by Mr. J. B. Tyrrell,
of Toronto, one of the most distin¬
guished mining engineers of the country.
"This is an excursion of geologists,” he
said, "and not politicians or speculators,
and it is not to be expected that the
results or effects of this visit will be

capital or anything- of that sort; but
at the same time, I believe that this
visit of geologists will be of far more
lasting good to the country than any
visitation that the Dominion has ever ;
experienced.

“Every man in this party is a student
of geology. A great many of them are
professors, and those who are not are
practitioners in one form or another,
so that the subject they are investi¬
gating is of paramount interest to all
of them. We have no camp followers
to divert attention from the main issue.
In organizing these parties we excluded
everyone not actively interested in the
science of geology, either theoretically
or practically, and the result is that you
have here today a body of men, per¬
haps the most intelligent body of men
that have ever visited the country,
making a close and personal study of
your geological features, not for pur¬
poses of speculation but simply for
purposes of education and general self-
instruction. From the point of view of
the business man I think this excursion
is the best advertisement that the Do¬
minion ever had. Just consider the
number of professors of geology that
are here from all parts of the civilized
, world, and in conjunction with that
thought consider what geology really
means to the country as a whole. You
all know that the mineral wealth of
this section is tremendous, how tre¬
mendous you have no real conception
of. And naturally it is desirous that
it should be known as widely as pos¬
sible. Can you imagine a better or
more disinterested -way of making it
known than by having it taught in the
schools and universities of other lands,
where very little may be known about
your r
