The koala, or Australian Bear.

The koaa is d small, pouched an
imal of Australia resembling the bear
in appearance. 1t is sometimes called
the Australian bear. II is about "a
inches long and y inches high at the
shoulder, and has no tail. Its fur is
very thick soft and woody. The an
imal's long toes enable it easily to
grasp the branches of trees. from
which it often hangs with its back
downward. It sleeps in the day time
in the top of a hluegum (eucalyptus)
tree, on the leaves of which it feeds,
but it also roams around on the ground
digging up roots. The mother carries
her cub in her pouch when 1t is very
young, and when old enough to leave
the pouch it rides on her back. The
natives of Australia eat the flesh of
the koala, and often climb the highest
trees in search of the animals.

COALACARS AND COAL

A newspaper investigator who has been inquir-
ing independently into the coal situation reports
that the lack Of coal production is due not so much
TO the lack OF coal in the country the
fact that the coal cars are not where they ought
be- a very large part of them not in the
coal producing sections at ALL but scattered all
the country.
Last fall during the coal strike, great numbers
o them were sent west loaded with all kinds OF
merchandise There was a general movement Of the
open-top cars back east, where they beonsNa,
when the switchmen's strike occurred. and they
were heId up and around Chicago. for many
weeks The effect Of that still felt seriously.
Even now. IN SPITE Of the efforts by the
government since the railroads appealed for fed
eraI aid. the chief coaI-carrying lines have only
small part of their coal cars, and the smaller
roads and non-coaI carrying roads have excess
of coal cars on their rails.
thus Is railroads in the northwestern district.
which is now being supplied with coal mainly from
ohio by water. up the Lakes. recently reDorted
that they had 90 percent more coal cars than they
had any right to. $4,000 surplus which
ought 10 be in the Ohio coal fields on the tracks
Of the lines owning them The Canadian Northern
reported having on It's hands $50 percent of its
own opeu-car supply. Texas has had coal
than il knew what TO do with. Coal carrying lines
are mostly reduced to a fractional part OK their
own coal
This investigator says that shippers are still
nasrantJy disregarding the governments order and
the country's need. When they have coal shipped
them they following tho old practice Of hn-
ing the cars with their own products and scatter
ms them distant parts the country
The whole situation seems TO be than any
thing else the result OF bad management. There
