Prof. Guy A. Bailey. a member OF the

school, relates a little incident which
might be doubted were II not for the
fact that he has the proof To show for
the story. Mr.. Bailey was on Temple

a picture OF a horned lark. The lark
evidently thought that Mr.. Bailey
was providing 1t with a bird house, as
II hoped on to the camera, back into
the trees. and then back on the cam
era again.
The bird repeated this performance
times. refusing TO remain in
the trees long enough to be snapped.
Finally Mr.. Bailey left the camera
where he had located Il, went and got
another camera. and when he returned
he secured a splendid picture OF the
bird perched on camera No. /. Curl.
osity got the best of the bird. and the
result was a novel picture.-Genesee

Production Of Gold
and Cost OF Living

Frank Fayant, writing in the New
York Times, shows the connection be-
tween the soaring cost of living and
the large output of gold. Since the
present century began, he says, the
world has produced more gold than in
the three and half centuries ante
dating the discovery of gold in Cali
fornia. #.:":... -~~... -.. ~..>
Spain's intrepid adventures, in the
whole of the wonderful sixteenth cent
ury's conquest of the wealth of the
New World, did not find as much gold
as the worlds mines gave up in 1909
$40, 0OO, 900.
The United States since 40 has pro-
duced $4,000, Ooo,o new gold; Aus,ral-
asia since 1851, 81 800, 100000; Trans
vaal since 1887, 81, 1000, OO0-seven
billions from these three new sources
three times the worlds production in
the sixteenth, seventeenth and eight
zenith centuries combined.
Nine tenths of the gold of the nine
teenth century was mined in the last
half. In the past two years more gold
has been mined than in the first fifty
years of the last century.

silent and almost dark save for the
candles over the doors with which
third-class carriages in Russia are
miserably lighted.
''There came the rumbling of an
approaching train. The soldiers in the
carriage stood at attention. Whirr-
whizz-the curtains futtered as the
train rushed by. That was all 1 saw OF
The car and the royal train.
"a few minutes later the blinds were
raised, the soldiers left the carriage,
and we pulled slowly into a station.
Soldiers were coming in along the line
and from the fields; the festoons and
the flags were being taken down. The
welcome was over. Every one was re-
lieved. The responsibility of loyalty
in Russia is no light thing"

HOW RUSSIA'S
GEAR TRAVELS

A strange story of how the Car re-
turned to Russia after his visit to Italy
is told by j. Landa in the Jewish
World. 49,.
The sight, he says, was certainly
striking. Telegraph poles were sparse
ly decorated with bunting and banner
cts: the wayside stations were fes-
TONED with garlands of leaves and
ribbons, but these were not the things
to which the fingers pointed. At every
few PAGES on either side of the railway
line stood soldier with bayonet fixed to
his gun. At every level crossing there
was a military encampment, at every
bridge a garrison; every wayside STA
tion was a barracks.
''Some of the soldiers stood at atten-
ton facing the line, others had their
backs to the trains" the writer says.
II believe they stood so alternately,
but am not certain. Officers marched
to and fro. No plate layers were to be
seen, no workers were in the fields
bordering on the line.
Mounted Cossacks stood far out, q
couple of hundred yards or SO; others
galloped across the fields. In every
lane leading to the line there were at
least two Cossacks, and where there
were cottages near the railway more
Cossacks."
The writer was in train which was
passed by the royal train.
