Scotch School Children.

The. fact that Edinburgh board school children are below the average z height and weight of scholars in England may be explained in some measure by the bad system of meal times laid down in Edinburgh and Scotland generally. A dinner interval is not allowed in Scot tfsh board or other schools, half an hour or 20 minutes being granted at noon for luncheon, which generally consists of piece, l. e., bread and butter. As the school classes are not dismissed till three p. m. the children have prac- dcally no nourishing food between 80 a. m. and 3:30 p. m. The Edinburgh Merchant company, which provides ex- cellent secondary education to some 5000 children of the middle classes. has resolved to adopt the English system of meal hours. So welded to custom, how ever, are parents in the Scottish capi- tai that the Edinburgh papers are full of letters from heads of families pro- testing against the change.-London Chronicle.

74 "@ s v In Snoxy-Clad Siberia.

Heretofore the transportation faeil. aties have been so inadequate that the journey to Arctic Siberia has been sell dom attempted. The completion, how ever, of the great Trans-S Siberian road has brought the country within com paratively easy access to the traveller, who. by leaving the great railway at drkutsk, can take a side trip by horse sledge, northwards to Yakutsk. Here one bids adieu to civilization and, with reindeer team, makes an abrupt plunge into wild, frozen and trackless coun- try where, in isolated and scattered set dement's hundreds of miles apart, are found the various nomadic and hunting tribes of the Arctic. The territory over which these tribes roam is enormous, being one and a half times as large as all Europe, and that they are children of nature and utterly unsuited to the ways of the modern world, is proven by the fact that they still kindle their fires by the use of wooden implements, such as were used by the cave dwellers of prehistoric days.-From Unknown Si- beria," by Walter l..

MANILA. Sept. 25.-The government has decided to build a canal from Lake Taal to the sea at the expense of S200,- GOO out of the congressional relief fund. This will give Batangas province an outlet for its products.
 Governor Taft has just received ad- ditional reports of distress among the natives of Batangas, Negros, Tayabas and Cebu, the result of failure of the crops, owing to the ravages of locusts. The government is now distributing $35O,OO0 worth of rice among the af- fiicted districts, which is to be paid for in work
 Dominador Gomez, former Spanish officer awaiting sentence upon the charge of maintaining an illegal organ ization known as the Union Obrero, was charged with rebellion and insur- rection for melting ladrone leaders in the provinces of Rizal.

This resulted in the recent out break of an insurrection in the prov inces named in the form of guerrilla warfare, carried on through the tnflu- ence of the Union Obrero and aided by it's members, so called nationalists, con- nected with the juntas now located at Hongkong and in Japan and Madrid.
