Russia is beginning to feel the in
conveniences entailed by a state Of

direst Of straits because Of the inter-

pretty nearly out of coal. Other and
smaller towns are in similar extremi-

Mature study That Failed.

i Al certain clever teacher once con-
graduated herself on having given her
geography class vivid idea of islands
by cutting out pieces of brown paper
and pinning them on the wall. That's
all very we'll" said the master Of the
school, speaking from longer expe-
rience of youthful mind, "but those
children will go out into life with a
fixed idea that an island is piece of
brown paper pinned on the wall" The
New York Evening Post says that two
little fresh air girls" were noticed, on
the morning after their arrival, gaz.
ing at the landscape with evident dis
approval.
What's the matter children asked
their hostess. "Why are you disap-
pointed with the country"
why, there's no grass here" said
one, pulling a blade and biting the
end of it.
The lady could only stare. what
is your idea of grass?" she asked, at
last.
Little by little the truth came out
To begin with, grass, they thought,
was about the height of man.
''If this were taller would it be like
grass?" asked the lady.
"Oh, mol"
How is it different?"
"Why, grass is black" said one child.
BLACK and white" added the other.
Then the. explanation became appa-
rent. They had drawn their ideas of
vegetation from the black and white
prints of newspapers and books.
