Its width varies from 20 to 150 mll2s.
The narrow Straits of Tartary sepa-
rQte It from the maInland and the PenInsula -
nInsula otKamchatlm guards It on the
cast. It Is about haIr as largo as I1U-

The climate Is cold and dense banl\B
of clouds generaHy shut out the ra 's
of the sun. The cast coast Is besIeged -
sIeged by Ice 110es In summer. The
greater part of the Island Is covered
with forests whIch abound In fur-bear-
Ing anImals. Much of the timber Is
valuable. The rivers are rich In fish ,
especlaHr a specIes of salmon.
The development of the Island's natural -
ural resources Is of comparatively recent -
cent date. Attempts have been made
at agrIculture , and several thousands
of RussIan convicts have been trans.
ported there to colonIze. The quality
of the soil Is unfavorable to the undertakIng -
takIng , and most of the convlct are
employed In the coal mInes.
The RussIans established a post on
the Island at Anlva Bay In 1853 , and In
1857 they began to form permanent
settlements. It was ceded to RussIa
by Japan In 1875.
The prIncIpal Russian settlements
are at Dul on the west coast , Male ,
Tymovsl , on the upper Tym , and Kor.

Among remarlmblo recent inven.

scope , by means of whIch any person
can malw a , drawing In correct per.
SIJectlve of anr scene before him , even
If he Imows nothIng whatever of draw.
Ing. Br : means of the telemeter the
exact dIstance of far.away objects can
bo measured and recorded. The "tele.
phone.ears" Is an apparatus by whIch
a ship Is autom tcaHr ! warned of suh.
marIne dangers. By the aid of th
thermophile It Is posslblo to furnIsh

Tending to confirm the statement 01
Prof. 1\II11s there are the Vassar rec'
ords In out-of-door athletics and the

These are wholesome Indlcatlonn ,
