They were trying to find a suitable flat. They set out on toot. In order to miss nothing; and they returned In the evening unsuc- * cessful and exhausted .but never dis- couraged, for hope sustained by ro- mance la long-suffering. They had In- Tented a system by which they chose their direction each time according to the weather. A blue and cloudless sky ! open the shutters." And she resumed I her work.

Yet there is a camp where these luxuries go hand in hand with pioneering: in Porto Rico, where the pears and gardenias grow. The camper's life on El Junque, high- est mountain of Porto Rico, was de- scribed by Miss Dorothy Sullivan, | director of girl scouting on the Is- j land, who recently arrived in New ' York on her vacation. To live as the "jibaros," or moun- tain people do, Is the aim ot the ! Porto Rican Girl Scouts. They wash their clothes by pounding them between rocks on the river- bank. The Jibaro method of broad- casting warning slgna.s often sends rhf m scuttling from that aarae river, which has a nasty trci a rising seven feet In about fifteen n Inutea.

Now the taste for 11 is , spreading rapidly. There were two Girl Scout camps this summer, and for the first time the girls did their cookrag on the trail. Strange cooking It seems to an American. They bake and boll big green ban- anas. Their favorite drink Is cocoa- nut milk drawn through a hole in the green fruit. They also like one made from the guanabana, a fruit about the size of a melon, the pulpy white flesh of which they squeeze. Their favorite dish is rice with chicken, cooked slowly in an earth- enware pot with pimentos, raisins and olives. "We had fifteen girls In the camp on El Junque," Miss Sullivan said. "They love It, but their parents are nervous about them. So we have ' one counselor to every three girls. At home the proportion Is one to every eight." RfpROSETER "4A GOODtJtfe" Radium Deposits In the Dominion ' i The richest deposits yet found in j the Dominion are reported by H. S. Spence and R. ". Carnochan, of the Canadian Geological Survey in the i Wilberforce range. Uraninite, -io which radium is derived, is scattered in large crystals through pockets of calcite and fluorite. The area sur- veyed is 500 feet long and from five to twelve feet wide. One gram of radium can V: obtained from approxi- mately 3,422 tons of the rock. The age of the deposit is approximately 1,200,- 000,000 years. Pitchblende deposits, in which radium is found, have been located at Echo Bay on Great Bear Lake, 700 miles by river from the railhead at T aterways, Alberta. While it is probable that the deposits could noc " successfully mined at present, because of the radium supply from the Bel- gian Congo, they remain a source of great potential .vealth.

Female Birds Go First On Migrations South The strange impulse to travel which sends birds on their long migrations north and south with the seasons, affects the females first, according to the British naturalist. Noble Rollin, in a communication to The Naturalist, London. He shot at random last fall birds arrivin gto winter in the British Isles. Those killed fell into eleven families, six common land birds and six sea birds and waders. During October and November the victim* were pr^ domir.antly fema'.e. During December and January they were predominant- ly male.
