COLD is HAMPERING
ALLIES IN RUSSIA
So Cold Americans Sleep With
Machine Guns I'm Blankets to
Prevent Their Freezing.

Archangel, (By the Associated
Press,) Nov. 25.-Winter has begun in
earnest over the whole northern Rus
sian front. All the rivers are ice-bound
and the Bolshevist gunboats which
have long menaced the American and
Allied forces on the DVina have been
forced to withdraw to escape being
frozen in. The Bolshevists, however,
have mounted big guns along the front
south of the Allied armies.
Operations are limited to spasmodic
artillery exchanges, but the Bolshevist
forces are reported to be receiving
heavy reinforcements. The freeze-up,
while bringing relief on the Dvina
front, increases the danger on others
as the once impossible swamps now
are frozen, making possible BUSH
whacking flank alta cl1s by the enemy.
The correspondent has Just returned
from a trip along the front, where he
found a general reversal of the OPT
Mon that the Bolshevist would not
fight. Near kadish, a fortnight ago,
a body of Bolshevik infantry main
tanned an advance against strong ma
chine gun fire. \ Russian resident
in talking with American soldiers re-
garding this attack said the Bolshevik
officers threatened their men that they
would be killed the next day if they
failed to advance.
The cold is so intense in some sec
tors of the front that the Americans
sleep with their machine guns rolled
in the blankets with them to prevent
the water-cooling chambers of the
guns from freezing.

Books and Gardens

From the Toronto Globe: It is at
this time Of the year that the gard
ener's memory OF happy days be-
comes active. II is the sunshine
that does it. He knows that the
ground is not ready yet. but he has
his books.
Books, It's dull and endless strife; |;
Come hear the woodland linnet;
How sweet his music! On my life
There's more of wisdom in IL.
It was too bad of Wordsworth to
make odiOus comparisons Of good
things. You cannot stay out all
night listening to the linnet, and you
cannot go abed as soon as you come
in from the garden, else what is the
good Of the open fire, and the cavern
Gus armchair and the bookcase? No,
gardens and garden literature should
go together, and If you do hear a
linnet you should know the right
book where somebody has said some
thing beautiful about it.
OF course, If you yourself can say
or write something beautiful about
It, so much the better for then the
first fine careless rapture Of enjoy
ment is prolonged by the expression
Of 1t, and you yourself become a
partner in the glory. But probably
you will be too lazy.
Wordsworth found wisdom in the
music Of the linnet, and for the mo-
ment was tempted to despise his
books, though he was making books
by the expression of his momentary
discomfort with them. 1t is not diff
ficult to follow his thought. To look
into the heart of a daffodil is to be
dimayed by the wonder Of it; to be
conscious Of the primeval emotion
that ended in worship.
At such times ii seems to the gard
ener that he is very near to religion,
and the thought comes that religion
itself cannot live without beauty;
that It becomes dusty and stupid and
ugly, must die also, If only to be
born again in fairer forms. Many
gardeners find the place on which
they tread a very holy ground.
A garden is a lovesome thing. God
wot!
Rose plot,
FI1nged pool.
Ferned grot-
The veriest school
OF peace. And yet the fooI
Contends that God is not
Not God! in gardens! when the eve
is cool?
Nay, but I have a sign:
'Tis very sure God walks IN mine.

4 Eairyland Mine.

To the mineralogist the Copper Queen mine of Bisbee, Ariz., has been for many years a kind of fairyIand, yielding rare treasure in copper and lime minerals, of much variety and marvellous beauty of specialization and coloring. A recently opened cavern or grotto, filled with stalactites and stalagmites of delicate green and blue tints, was brought to the notice of Dr. E. o. Hovey before destruction by the miners, and this made possible the transfer of the section of the forma- fion that is now set up among the wonders of the American Museum of Natural History in New York. The grOtto thus preserved, in a space 14 feet high and 10 feet square, is lined with some 50 boxes Of carefully col lected and restored cave material, the outside being roughly built up of lime stone blocks. One stalagmite of the mine cave had been deposited to q height of nearly II feet by water drip- ping for an estimated period of G5GOO years.
