Asphalt comes out of the ground - just as water comes in a spring. The great asphalt lake at Tri- .nidad consists of about 115 acres, and is about 135 feet deep, gradmally getting shallower at the edges-- Frances Lambert, aged 12 years An Easy One. The teacher wrote the following sentence on the blackboard: "I do like going to school." *"Now', she sald, "who can tell m@ what is wrong with this sentence?" A young lad raised his hand eagerly. 'Very well, Albert," said the teacher, "you may correct the sentence."" "There should be the word "not" after 'do', was the prompt reply.--Frances Lambert aged 12 years A Nature Study Walk. One day in November, our teacher took us. for a nature study walk. We went out to the Johnson street bush and as we went along » looked carefully at each free to.find out which kind it was. Just outside the city limits we noticed the old shore line of Lake Ontario. It is a small ridge about three cr four feet high in most places, and is formed of iime- stone rock. There were some large flat rocks just showijg above the ground, and a number of fissures caused by the ice and frost were clearly visible. When we reached the bush we sat down and rested for a time and di- vided a basket of green grapes amongst us. After a while we went into the bush and examined all the trees we saw. There was one kind of tree called ironwood, that we could climb, and when we got near the top it would bend slowly down to the' ground. We climbed up large pine trees to get their needles, and found some small bushes with little red points sticking up. in the air. We each took some home to make red ink. We gathered somb sumac and specimens of other trees. Ws also O0TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY AN EVENT OF UNUSUAL SOCIAL INTEREST Honoring An Important Occasion at the House of Dr. A, J.

Most of our tes comes from China, Sydenham School. 'In April of each year, when the tea leaves are ready to be picked, the Chinamen go cut into their gardens and pick the first young leaves of the lea plant. These mnke the very best tea. In May fresh tea-leaves shoot out, and the Chinamen again set to work to pick these. Another crop comes in June and another in Aug- ust, but the last crop is the coarsest and poorest of all. When the leaves are picked they are dried In the sun in flat baske:s. Then they are; again dried in copper pans over a fire. They are afterwards poured out on a table and the China- men rell them with their fingers into the little black grains with which we are so familiar, They are then packed in boxes and sent away to all parts of the world. --Mafgaret Driver, aged ten years. A Policeman of the Trees. A Chickadee will eat in a day as many as five hundred eggs of the green lice which do so much damage to the trees in the spring and sum- mer.

We cooked some of the fish and had a shore dinner, which was very enjoyable. Meals al- ways seem to taste better out of doors. On the way home we enjoyed the beautiful island scenery very much. --Leah Emiaw, aged 12 vears. Harry's Dog.
