Queer answers to teachers examina-
ton questions by would-be teachers:
Describe the ear and explain the pro-
cess of hearing.
The ear is composed of two parts,
the external and internal. The exter-
nal is composed of cartilage which
helps in protecting the internal
from injury. The internal has four
small bones which aid in hearing. The
alimentary canal carries the tones or
sounds to be conveyed to the drum of
the ear, and the opening of the alimen-
tary canal is protected by u sort of
bristles which hinder foreign substan-
ces from entering the ear.
What can you say of the surface
structure of the territory of the United
States?
The surface structure of the L. 5. is
hot in the southern part and the sur
face is dry and level, while it is cold
and the surface is damp in the western
the surface is dry and rocky, in the
eastern part the surface is level and
moist.
What is the skeleton?
The skeleton is the shanty in which
we live.

The Cars Real Title.

Perhaps some day the propriety will
be seen of no longer calling the en-
peror of Russia the GEAR" 1t is a
title but little used in Russia. The
emperor styles himself ''imperator, "
which is a much higher title than that
of ''czar;" and when, in 1915, Alex

emma the title of king of Poland, the
accepted Russian equivalent to the
title liking" was GEAR" Peter the
Great made determined diplomatic
fight in order to obtain his recognition
as emperor, and this was at last con-
coded to him by the English, partly
because, for commercial purposes,
we wanted his alliance, partly because
some member of the Russian embassy
in London had been imprisoned or
otherwise maltreated, so that it was
thought desirable to make by way Of
compensation the concession Peter so
much desired. If, however, we insist
upon calling the emperor of Russia
the car (his own subjects call him,
among the educated classes, ''emper-
or" and among the peasantry "gos-
sondar," or lorD we might at least
write the name as it is pronounced,
and spell it not in Polish or Hunga-
rian fashion, but as the simplest trans
lation from Russian into English de-
mands. The word is pronounced
"tsar," and the first letter of the word
in Russian corresponds precisely to

avoid running on the horses heels, "
explained the knight of the nickel.

CRATE like this for day or two until
