Marie Solovieva-Rasputin, earns a meager living as a cabaret dancer fn Montmartre, Bince she came to France with many thousands of other Russians after the Red revolution, the daugh- ter of Rasputin has experienced many vicissitudes and has worked in many humbl¢ stations in order to support herself and her two children. “I consider myself lucky in being able to dance in the fashionable night resorts in the bright-light district of Paris, where thousands of Americans come to amuse themselves,” Mme. So- lovieva-Rasputin said. “I do not care for the eabaret, but I find it easier to dance than to work as a Kitchen hand, ag I was forced to do not long after I eame here. *I have been dogged by the same sinister influence which fate seemed to exercise over my father, because 1 was recently involved fn a taxi smash and was unable to work for a time, and it was only because of gifts from charitable people that I and my two daughters, seven and five yearg old, have been able to exist.” The daughter of the Russian monk is intensely religious. At night, after the bright lights of Montmartre are dimmed, she goes to her room and prays before the ikon, which is one HH HHH HHH HE DIPPING INTO SCIENCE FH HHH HHH HHH HHH Heart Action It is estimated that something like six barrels of blood pass through the two ventricles of the heart every hour.

Tt of the few legacies she possesses from her father. The ikon was found near his body after his assassination, “I carry this ikon with me always, cherishing it as a rare memento of my unhappy father. Whatever may have been said about him, my father was the incarnation of sagacity and common Sense and he was also gifted with the power of clairvoyance. Many times he said: ‘When I am dead the dynasty will be overthrown.” Three months after his assassination the revolution broke out, bathing Russia in bloodshed and sweeping away such small fortunes as we possessed. “My father was poor and after his death our plight was terrible, My hus- band was an officer in the army of Admiral Koltcha, When the Reds de- feated the White army we fled from Russia and sought refuge here in France.” Rasputin’s daughter is planning a visit to the United States, where she hopes to lecture on her father and his relations with the Russian impe- rial family. be amused, So there are dog dolls— rubber hounds which may be played with and chewed.

The correspondent was accompanied { ' WINS GERMAN HONOR by Professor Garstang on a visit to the excavations at old Jericho where the Sir Charles Marston expedition has been working some time. The defensive citadel, twelve feet thick of exceptional height, was be- lieved to have been built about 2,000 B. C. But the excavations have changed many previous assumptions about old Jericho, which was cursed and burned by Joshua. The expedition has discovered that the earlier city had the largest wall and that the city began to decline and lose population, making necessary the building of smaller and more easily protected walls in later centuries. The theory that an earthquake caused the collapse of the wall of Jericho, will be worked out by the expedition next, as this season's work will end shortly. The biblical version is that Joshua was instructed to have his priests march around the wall seven days, blowing trumpets and then, on the seventh day, all the people shouted with a great shout and the wall fell flat and they marched in. The inhab- itants of the besieged city were then slain and the city itsetf-burned. In the burned city, as it is ex- posed today, the remains of charred corn in a bin were seen which were there when the Israelites marched over the fallen wall. 4 + Miss Birdeena Gowen of San Fran- «isco, to whom fell the honor ef be- fog appointed a member of the edu- entional council of Berlin.

I was my- self startled by the sound of a policeman’s bell and handed a ticket as I was coming down Western avenue, not long ago, which cost me ten dollars and an hour’s delay when, if I had gone more deliberately I should have saved my money and arrived home in adequate time to meet the engagement which I was making unfortunate haste to keep, Sut there is such a thing as taking too much time, of dawdling along and getting nothing done; of watching the pictures on the wall when we should be having the eyes on the book or the problem, Thomas Arnold, the great master of Rugby, enjoyed the out-of-doors and one of his chief out-of-door delights consisted in taking long walks, His biographer says of him: “He hated loitering,” and quite as feelingly he disliked going alone, Mrs. Arnold was not so young as her husband; nor was she as fleet of foot, but she al- ways went with her husband. Since she could not walk as fast as he, she rode a little gray pony and one of the stipulations had to be that the pony should, without urging, be able to get over the ground at the rate of at least four miles an hour, The two could often be seen together on the roads about Ambleside and Grasmere; she sitting upright upon the little ac- tive beast and he striding: along be- side her, with no loitering on the way. It was characteristic of Arnold to go at things with energy and push whatever he undertook quickly through to completion. If he did not like loitering when he was out for a walk, he disliked it equally when it came to any other task or problem which was his for accomplishment or solution. “Get a thing done, when you have undertaken it,” was Arnold's slogan, It was the loitering of the hare which caused him to lose the race with the tortoise. He was by far the better runner and could have won “hands down,” as we now. say, but, having begun his task, he lay down in the furrow and went to sleep, and so was beaten by hls slow competitor, the tortoise.

In other words, the hinged shelves, upon which are placed large quantities of very fine rock dust, are erected anywhera from two to five.-feet from the ceil- ing of the mine passages, and, when tripped by an explosion, present a fine fierproof curtain from that point to the floor, but leave a suffi- | ciently large opening above the dust | for the flames to go leaping through.
