ESSAY ON LIFE OF
 SIR WALTER SCOTT
By George Martin

Sir Walter Scott's ancestors were midway between peasanty and mo- bility. Those before him were al- ways prominent in border wars and fighting with England, so it was natural that Scott should CaHe inter- est and write of these things,
 His mother was the daughter of physician, while his father was lawyer. AS baby he was healthy child. but he later contracted a dis ease, which left him a cripple for life. While a child he spent great deal of his time with his grand mother and aunt. Here he heard many stories, and loved to tell new poem or song so much that the local minister remarked that it was impossible to speak while Walter was in the room for his shouting drowned out all other speaking.
 He did not go to high school LnsiI quite late, but despite his Iameness bo y,-,s very pouular among the boys at school and engaged in many of their sports. He was very good in his studies while in the class room. but outside of school he studied very little. In after life he regretted this lack of study, for 1t hindered him in his writing.
 Later his father sent Waiter to college where he wanted him to study law. Here Scott applied him self faithfully, and in due time be- came a lawyer. He was not en- thusiaStic in his work, however; tales of old castles and border war interested him more. Instead of studying he enjoyed telling stories to the office boys. Later he secured a government position that gave him a good living and took up little of his time.
 Scott spent much of his time travelling about the country, listen ing to the tales of the peasantry, and Investigating the history of old castles. This material was later the inspiration for many of his poems and stories. He studied German and

INTERESTING QUIZ
 ON PHYSIOGRAPHY

The following answers were given by Maxine Mcdonald in quiz in physiography;
 Of what importance are noun tains to men? Define snow line; timber line.
 Mountains are of importance to men in a number of ways: The rivers flowing down steep slopes furnish water power and the timber furnishes good wood Mineral de- poSits are broughi to light by fold ing of mountains.
 The snow line is the line above which there is perpetual snow. The timber line is the line above which no timber grows.
 What is the immediate cause for volcanic eruptions? What are vol canic necks?
 The immediate cause for volcanic eruptionS is that water seeping down to the hot lava causes steam, which with the great pressure IS forced out in eruptionS, often cauS- ing great explosions.
 Not all the lava which starts for the top reaches there. When erup- tions ease the lava cools.
 What are the causes of earth Quakes? Define epicentrum. Name two recent volcanic eruptious.
 Earthquakes are caused by the slipping of rock along a fault plane or by volcanoes.
 The epicentrum is the spot right above the slipping of the lanes or right over "qauke."
 Java, in the Straits of Smda, 1889, were Krakatoa, near the Island of Java, in the Starts of Sunda, 1883, and Mount Pele, on the Island of Martinique, in 1902.
The Seward gateway and the Alaska evening post., 1917-04-21

Define lateral moraine crevasse. What is the principal soil of a gla- ciaI> region? Give four proofs of glacial erosion.
 Lateral moraine is the band of rock fragments along the sides of a glacier. The principal soil of a glacial region is glacial drift or fine ground clay. Crevasse is a deep crack in a glacier caused by great pressure or strain.
 What influence have mature val leys on man? What are the char acteristics of new drainage on plain?
 Mature valleys influence man in the following ways: In mature valley the soil is fertile and there are low rolling plains which are suitable for agriculture. This kind of valley does not hinder travel but encourages it, as transportation is almost always possible on the rivers. Food can be raised with much less labor in mature valleys, so it encourages settlement.
