RUSSIA: THE HEIRESS OF
FAMINES

Never, in civinzed times, have SO
many old-wOrld nations felt the pinch
OF hunger at once; yet suffering from
want OF food is no new story to many
/ Of them. Especially has Russia been
the lucklesS heir to periods of near
starvation.
Writing TO the National Geographic
society, Ralph A Graves tells of Rus
sian famineS of the past as follows:
Next TO the proetariat of India
and China, the Russian peasant has
felt the pinch Of poverty and hunger
more keenly and more frequently than
, any other citizen on earth.
zone of the earliest famines in Rus
STA of which there is any definite rec
ord was that of 1900, which continued
for three years, with death toll OF
800 900 peasants. Cats. dogs and rats
were eaten; the strong Overcame the
weak, and in the shambles of the pub
lie markets human flesh was sold. Null
titudeS Of the dead were found with
their mouths stuffed with straw.
''Three Russian famineS OF compare
lively recent date were among the
most severe in the history Of the cOun-
try. They occurred in 1891, 1906 and
1911. During the ten years following
the first of these periods of dearth
the government allotted nearly $125,
100000 for relief work, but the sums
were not always judiciously expended.
''In 1906 the government gave 40
pounds of flour month 10 all persons
under eighteen and over fifty-nine
years of age. All peasants between
those ages and infants under one year
of age received no allowance, and it
became necessary for the younger and
older members of the family to share
their bare pittance with those for
whom no provision was made. The
suffering was intense and the mortal
ity exceedingly heavy but the avail
able statistics are not wholly reliable.
"The famine of 1911 extended over
One-third of the area of the empire in
Europe and affected more or less di-
rectly 3O,00O,000 people, while S,0O0,-
900 wore reduced to starvation. Weeds,
the bark of trees, and bitter bread
made from acOrnS constituted the
chief diet for the destitute. This was
unqueStiOnably the most widespread
AMI most severe famine that has be-
fallen a European nation in modern
times.

purpose of irrigation, as it is gener-

light and power, is an unusual and in

ployed is to sink a large well on each

First "Weather Man."

An Englishman, Francis Gallon, was
the first real weather man. Gallon
was cousin of Charles Darwin. He
was born in England in 1924. Whether
he was really able to forecast rain
and sunshine with more accuracy than
his successors is an open question !;
but it is certain that he was the first
to attempt the charting, on large
scale, of the progress of the elements
of weather. The methods devised by
him, in modified form, are used to this
day.

Why Clear Nights Are Colder.

clear. bright starlight night in
winter is always much colder than
cloudy one. The reason for this is
shat the heat of the earth is always
thrown off more quickly when there
is nothing to intercept it. Clouds
act as kind of blanket, and in pre-
venting the earth's heat from escap-
ing, tend to keep the atmosphere
warm.
