The listener and locker on confessed that
he had not.
We'll. that's just where you have missed

grizzly standing upright on a bee ranch
with a hive under one arm, trying TO get
at the honey. while the bees were raining
down on him; but they didn't worry him.
But it is in fishing that the average bear
displays his 'savy.'
There Ia a great bear country. or rather

1t is this ethical function which character

DR.. Hill pointed out that the historian
deals primarily with human nature. which

A st. Petersburg correspondent sends
the following story IA an illustration OF the
superstition OF the Russian peasantry:
time expired soldier named Karuko.
living in the province Of Podolsk. married
a young girl and settled down in the same
house with his parents, as is the usual
custom in Russia. The girls mother-in-
Law used her harshly, as is another custom
Of the country, and encouraged her son to
beat his wife rather more than the custom
warrants. Finally he beat her SO that she
died. He fed to the woods and hanged
himself to tree.
The couple were buried with all the
rites Of the Church. but unfortunately for
some time after there was drought
which began to threaten the crops. The
wiseacres Of the village came to the oon-
clusion that the want Of rain was Gods
vengeance upon them for oondoning murder
and suicide by giving Christian burial to
the criminal.
The matter was discussed by the mir.
and In the dead OF night q party went to
the graveyard. unearthed the body OF
Karuko. tore the clothes Of 1t. removed
the little GROSS which all orthodox Russians
wear around the neck in life and In death
and flung the naked corpse down In un-
oonsecrated ground.
The police are now busy selecting repre-
sentatives Of the guilty villagers to bear
the punishment allotted by law for vio-
lating the sanctity OF the grave. but as
rain has since fallen In quantity sufficient
to save the crops the peasantry cannot but
be convinced that their action was per-
fectly justified In every way.

The longest endurance test yet made

has developed the difficulty of sending
these boats unaided for any considerable
distance from their base Yet IN time OF
war occasions might frequently arise
where tho presence OF a submarine miehr

PURPOSES,
The first step in The experiment will
consist IN the transportation 10 the

larger boats in the same way. The Shark
