SIXTH GRADE.

Famine roots of various kinds.
What weeds and what cultivated
plants have tap roots; that is, a
main root that extends straight
down into the ground? Which have
multiple roots; hal is, several main
roots? In which plants do the roots
live only one year? In which do they
live two years? In which do they
live more than two years?
For your insect work, study the
-~-l- r~-uIuO~d H., hovas;ous kinds
of insects. See how many insects
you can identify by the noise which
they produce. See if you can find
the ear of the cricket, katydid, and
the grasshonDer. If you do not
know where to look for it, see if you
can find anyone who does, or if you
can find in any book a statement as
to where it is located.
SEVENTH GRADE.
You may here call attention to
the relation of forests, to the preser-
walton of rainfall and to the proven
ton of floods and washings. The
forested hill. covered with a mass of
roots, acts as a large sponge to hold
back the water and prevent it from
dashing across the land at one time.
They are thus of great use as flood
~rreventers. Try to find some litera-
ture upon this subject.
Animals furnishing interesting
study are rats, mice, woodchucks,
snakes, and the mink. Learn all you
can about the fur, food, habits, length
of life, dwelling place, ETC., of these
various animals.

that the prince must have been out Of
his mind al the time he committed
the crime. III this way the princely
house Of Bartenleff was spared the
indIgnlty OF having one Of its scions
wearing the garb Of felon. II is un-
doubtedly motives OF an analogous
character that have prompted EN-
peror Nicholas to deal in this fashion
with Prince Alexis DoIgorouki, who
would have otherwise been sent TO Jail
For his extraordinary assault upon
Count Lamsdorff is only the cuImina-
tion Of a career which, in the last
few years, at any rate, has been one
uninterrupted succession Of troubles
Of one kind or another, both in Rus
sia and abroad. He must not be con-
founded with the Prince Dolgorouki Of
the same Christian name who married
the enormously wealthy Miss Fleet
wood Wilson, and who divides his
time between his own estates In Rus
sia and those Of his English wife in
Great Britain, but belongs to an en-
tirely different branch Of the family.
Formerly he was an officer Of the Hus-
sars Of the Guards regiment But after
his own fortune and that
OF his wife at the card table he was
turned out Of the army, and from that
time forth lived mainly by means Of
his wits, his wife having secured a
judicial separation from him. Count
Lamsdorff was compelled to warn the
Muscovite embassies and Legations
abroad TO abstain from granting any
sort Of recognition to the prince, and
1t is this. together with the refusal
Of the minister to recognize him or
to grant him any post In the diplomatic
or consular service as a means of live
Iihood, that led him to make the as
sault upon the minister. who was fell
ed to the ground, with blood stream
ing from an ugly scalp wound.
The Dolgorouxi family is one OF the
most ancient and illustrious in Rus
sia. They were princes before the
Romanoffs became czars. The first

FATE or PRINCE WHO BEAT
RUSSIAN COUNT LAMSDoRFF
Alexis Dolgorouki to Spend the Re-
n,ainder of His Days in the Monas-

/ 1t is in a monastery that Prince
Alexis Dolgorouki, who beat the Rus
sian minister of foreign affairs. Count
Lamsdorff, about the head and shoul-
ideTs with his cane in the street Of St
Petersburg, attacking the statesman
from behind and taking him altogether
unawares, will spend the remainder OF
his days as an unwilling inmate. says
a writer in the New York Tribune
For he has been consigned by order
of the czar to the famous Solovetsk
monastery, about $50 miles beyond the
remote White sea port Of Archangel
The winters there are arctic in their
Intensity. while in summer the heat
is oppressive and the plaques of mos
quitoes and other insects beyond all
endurance.
The monastery. which is one of the
holiest places in Russia, having been
founded In 1929 by st. Sabbatheus,
has always been favorite place of de-
tention of people Of high rank who
had offended the czar They were sent
there on the ground that their minds
were slightly unbalanced. and that re-
moval from the temptations, the ex-
citement and the intrigues of the outer
world, together with solitude, medita-
ton and companionship OF the holy
men, that is to say, the monks of the
establishment, was likely to restore
them to reason. Prince Anthony Of
Brunswick and his consort, Ann, regent
of Russia, Simon Bekbulatovitch, the
deposed czar of Kazan, and many other
persons of light and leading were inn
prisoned there, while even at the pres

years ago, murdered lovely and pop
