Nor acknowledged any connection with
the books not published under his name"
His private life was retired and com
paratively uneventful. After four years
schooling at Rugby Dodgson matriculated
at Christ Church, Oxford, where for
eighteen years he held a studentship. He
took first class in the final mathematical
school IN 1854, and the following year was
appointed mathema teal lecturer at Christ
Church, post he filled till 1881. In 1861
he was ordained deacon, but he never
took priests orders, possibly because Of
an impeachment in his speech which pre-
vented reading aloud.
His earliest publications were exclusive
~ mathematical; even while Lewis Car
rolf was delighting children of all ares
he continued to issue periodically mathe
NAUTICAL treatses. "Alice" was followed bv
'Phantasmagoria," Through the Looking
Glass 1.-The Hunting of the Shark"
Rhyme and Reason" "a Tangled Tale"
and "Sylvie and Bruno" From time to
time he wrote skits on Oxford subjects.
Some Of the most fascinating pages of
"Alice in Wonderland" are those that re-
cord the incident of the Caucus-race. 1t
will be recalled that Alice and The Mons
and the Lory and the Eaglet and the Duck
and the Dodo, and others, had just rescued
themselves from the pool of tears Alice
had wept. The Dodo advocates the eau
cus-race as the best method of getting
themselves dry. And then
What is a Caucus-race ?" said Alice; not
that she much wanted to know, but the Dodo

COAL SYST EM. IN BERLIN IS
 TO BE CHANGED

AMSTERDAM, May 19 - Dissatis- faction with the system of coal dis tribution which was employed in Der lin during the past winter has led to the adoption of an entirely new sys- tenn which goes into effect this month The chief feature of the new scheme is the establishment of customer lists, which means that retailer is bound to supply those customers who register with him with the amount of coal to which their tickets legally entitle them. The plan is intended to operate over full year so that con sumers can utilize their allotted fuel supply as they see fit.
 There will be two coal tickets, one for coal for cooking purposes and the other for heating coal. The cooking coal ticket is graded into three kinds according to the number of persons in the household. A family of one or two persons will recive 1,200 pounds; three to six, 1,6O0; seven to ten 3,200
 Coal for heating purposes is allot- ed according to the number of rooms in house. One room is allowed 800 pounds; two rooms 1000 pounds, and so on up to 5000 pounds. Persons who used more than 6 tons for heat ing purposes last winter will be allow ed just half the amount they consum- ed then.
