The scientists have for years been
perplexed over the wonderful frozen
well at Yakutsk. Siberia. AS long ago
as 1928 1t was announced that the
ground was frozen to an abnormal
depth at the place referred to. In the
summer Of 1929 a Russian merchant
set gang of men to the task Of ascer
tanning the depth Of the frozen stratum
They gave up the job after digging
some thirty feet in solidly frozen
ground. The Russian Academy of Sci
ences took the matter in hand and be-
tween 1898 and 1874 dug to depth of
3S2 feet and then abandoned the shaft
because the earth was still frozen as
hard as a rock. Natural cold could
never penetrate to such depth. and
the phenomenon is still unexplained.

Long before the time Of Shakespeare
the bay tree was an object Of super
stition The whitening Of such tree
was believed to be sure indication OF
coming misfortune to those with whom
it WAS in any way connected Shake
In "Richard H." when he made one OF
his characters say:
Tis thought the king is dead: we'll not
stay
The bay trees in our country are with,

1t was thought by the anrientS that
lightning would never harm this tree.
and it was customary among them to
carry bay leaves as Il charm against
the thunderbOlts of Jove The same
belief was long prevalent in England.
and reference to it may be found in
an old poem dedicated to Ben .Ionson:
