FROZEN MARSHES OF RUSSIA
DesoIate Tundras Stretch Inland From
the Sea for From Three Hundred
TO a Thousand Miles.

In the extreme north Of Russia, from
lies the region of the tundras-waste
frozen marshes stretching inland from
the sea for from 300 TO 1000 miles. 1t
is often difficult 10 determine the point
separating the land from the sea, for
the surface Of the ground Is frozen
some forty feet deep; even the heat OF
summer can thaw only about two feet
Of top soil.
The only possible vegetation consists
OF moss and few berry bushes-scant
food for the millions of birds and
beasts OF all kinds that flock north
ward in July and August to escape
their enemy, the hunter says the Geo
graphical Review. BY the end Of Au-
gust. however, the heavy frosts set in,
and the tundras become a barren, life
less desert, covered with snow for
hundreds OF miles, with never liv-
Ing speck OF any kind on which to rest
ones eyes.
To the south of the tundras Is the
great coniferous forest belt. which
stretches from Finland TO the Sea Of
Okhotsk. At its western end. where IL
is more settled, this is perhaps the
most beautiful part Of the great Rus
sian plain. The countryside is dark
with the shadows OF the fir trees, but
frequently shot with rhe light, 1.-THE
trunks OF silver blrches. The aspect Of
the land, too, Is slightly rolling In
parts. md cradled between these slight
elevations there are thousands Of
charging little lakes fringed around
with reeds.

which was discovered recently by f.

The new fuel, which Is called mot

tile oil distilled from Ignite coal,
great quantities Of which exist in
North Dakota.

line. but is very similar to it both in
chemical composition and properties,
according to DR. Babcock
The discovery was entirely acci-

method Of heat treatment of Ignite

is embellished not only with its self

trimming starting from the highest

with narrow inset sections at the
back extending from Just below the
elbow to the wrist, others have far
