"Jalta, the Newport of Russia, to which even such favored regions of the world as the garden lands of California and the Riviera must yield when climates are compared, is today a stronghold of society utterly eclipsed bv war, a lonely, unvisited little vi1 whose prestige and fame

have departed overnight, a Newport

untenanted, forgotten by the press

and by all the people who, in peace

times, eagerly read about all the social splendors there," begins a state

ment given out by the National Geo

graphic society.

This little seaport, in the government of Taurida, on the southern coast of Crimea, thoroughly deserves the distinction of being the vacation home of celebrities.

World's Pencil Production. According to a recent article by Mr.

world's production of lead pencils probably amounts to 2,000,000,000 a

year, half of which are made from

Owing to the growing scarcity of

red cedar and the fact that many other

trees now little used appear to be more or less valuable substitutes for

that wood in pencilmaking, the forest

service has carried out a series of tests wrhich show that, next to the two species heretofore used for this

purpose, the best trees for pencils

are, in order of merit, Rocliy Mountain red cedar, big tree (Sequoia) , Port

Orford cedar, redwood and alligator
