"Kola is about 25 miles south of Al exandrovsk. the Russian naval base es tablished ID years ago five miles from the mouth of Kola Bay. "In peace times the chief occupation of the. people of Kola is fishing, which is proflltably followed by the natives from May to August. "Kola is well within the Arctic Circle, being in latitude 68. 52. It is 335 miles ; FACTS ABOUT IRKUTSK Washington, D.

"The peninsula of Kop constitutes the major part of what is known as Russian Lapland. It is bounded on the north by the Arctic Ocean and on the south by the White Sea. Its arc»i equals that of the State of Now York and is largely a pla.- teau having an a-*wrage elevation of 1.- 000 feet. The Arctic shore, extending a distance of 260 miles, is know as the Mur man Coast (a corruption of "Norman"). It presents a rugged ppearance, with cliffs rising abruptly from the sea. to a height of nearly 700 feet in many places. There'are several indentations, however, where excellent anchorage may be found, and one of these breaks in the granite line is Kda Bay. "The Kola peninsula is especially rich in its timber resources. Great forests' nf pme, birch, fir and spruce are to be found here "The month of .July in this region is us ually quite warm, and the crops mature rapidly, the time of harvest being August which is also the rainy month.

"One of the. peculiar customs which the traveler encountered at. Irkutsk before the war was the closing of the railway ticket office for the sale of tickets two days ' prior to reparture of a train. He could I never decide to take a trip to Petrograd (3,792 miles), to Moscow (3,384 miles) or to Vladicostock (2,008 miles) ‘on the spur of the moment’. "Under the old regime.

The advent of this column in last week's issue has caused quite a flurry of excitement in the De'.a hment Even those who we thoughtlessly neglected to mention in our worthy column walked about expectantly hoping they would not be forgotten next week.
