rhe siberian Exiles.

Among the many reforms introduced
by the Russian government, of late
years, the new arrangements made for
the conveyance of exiIes to Siberia is
one of the most remarkable. Since the
year 1880 the exiles were sent to Siberia
on foot. They first assembled at Khar-
kof, Moscow. and Min, Novgorod, and
thence proceeded to Kazan, which was
the chief meeting-place of the exiles
from all parts of Russia. From Kazan
hey went to Perm, and thence to Ekater-
burg, Timeny and Tomsk At intervals
of twenty versts there were hating sta
tiOns, where the prisoners rested and
passed the night, after which they went
on with a fresh escort. The time occu-
pied IN this journey was from one to
two years, and the exiles had to march
in all wea5hers. This naturally made
many of them totally unfit to proceed,
and several did not reach their destina-
ion at all, having died on the way.
Moreover, those who had been condemn
! ed for serious offenses had to march in
chains, which, after a few weeks march
ing, produced horrible wounds Others
had their hands tied, which prevented
them from protecting themselves in the
hot season against the flies. Finally,
the government itself had to sustain
very heavy charges for escorts, provi-
sions, transport, ETC., during these long
! journeys. The first change was made
in 1853, when the exiIes were sent from
st. Petersburg to Moscow by rail. In
| 1861 n committee was formed under the
presidency of Herr Heyden, to improve
the condition of the exiles, and in 1855
the government appointed inspectors to
consider what reforms might be desir-
able. One of these was stationed be-
tween Mini Novgorod and Timeny, and
the other between Timeny and Tomsk
In 1867 Baron YiiIot proposed that the
exiles should not march during the win
ter, and that at that season of the year
they should be quartered in certain
towns and given employment. This
proposal, which greatly alleviated the
sufferings of these unfortunate people,
was finally accepted by the minister of
the interior, who at the same time di-
rected that the prisoners should in fU-
ture be conveyed by rail, steamer or car.
In 1869 the government entered into a
contract with the merchant AIikhaiIoff
for the conveyance of the exiles in cars.
Since 1872 they have been conveyed In
strongly-made boats, towed by steam
ers. From Tomsk they still have to go
to their destination on foot, as before.
The present arrangements not only pro
vide for the health and comfort of the
exiles, but also cause a considerable
saving to the government, for instead OF
1856 stations, consisting Of 1856 officers,
1913 sub-offcers, 5,O47 soldiers, 726 pen
sioners, 1856 servants and 125 horses,
there were, on the LIST of January, 1873,
45 stations only, with a smaller number
OF troops.-St. Petersburg letter.

A DISASTROUS rice famine prevails in
the island Of Java, and the poorer class

starvation. Some cases have occurred
in which women have offered their chill
dren for sale to Europeans, so that, if
they died, their little ones might be
preserved from starvation.

for a cataract. Chloroform was adj
ministered and the operations were sue
cessfuI, but unIucl1iIY one of the pa
ticnts recovered from the anesthesia
too quickly, and considerably mauIed his
keeper. Some time afterward the same
oculist was asked to operate on one of
the tigers. He respectfully declined
the proposal, saying that he must draw
the line somewhere, and he drew it at
grizzly bears.

Mr.. BEssElCHR's original plan for
preventing sea sickness by building
vessels with saloons which are to be
hung in such a manner as to keen
them level and steady, with the aid of
hydraulic apparatus, even when the
vessel itself is tossing wildly in storm,
is to be put to an actual test. Mr..
Reed, formerly naval architect to the
British Admiralty, is now setting the
plans of a couple of vessels, intended
for the English Channel, which are to
be provided with saloons ninety feet
long by twenty feet broad and thirty
feet high, constructed in accordance
with Mr.. Bessemer's plan. Above the
saloon viii be a promenade deck seven
ty feet IN length of equal stability, and
Mr.. Bessemer says that in the toughest
weather the saloon and deck will not
be subjected to a, greater amount of
motion than is felt in an ordinary rail-
way carriage. ~

The art Of gem-cngrnying, since Is tour1shed

portrait Of Christ. Ono Of tho most notorious OF
famous i Emerald Of tho Yatican,' which WAS
clAiu1ed to lavo beon engraved BY tue ordor Of
pilate, with an intaglio head OF ChriBt, and sent
by him to Tiberius. The atory went further,
that this gem had boon carefully treasured up
~ the l1oman and byzantine Cnsars, and their ~
Sultan to Innocent VII, as ransom for his
brother. The claim Of this gem to bo o con-
temporary portrait cannot however, stand tho
tost Of modern critoiam. 1t il not antique nor
byzantine in style, but bolonge quito uitmiHtake-
bly to the period Of the Italian revival; while
Mr. King, ail excellent authority Oh such nattorc.
aays that tho head is undoubtedly copy Of tho
head OF the Savior In ltaphhel'B cartoon Of the
Miraculous Draught Of Fishes. Other gems,
olnilning also to DO anthontic ara known to 20
Paris representing Christ without beard, which
Is supposed to have been made by tic Nostosiann
OF porsia century or two before tho fall OF tlas
empire. Yhero iB also whole literature Of con-
trovorsy concerning tho authenticity Of certain
coins or medals, of which several aro lsno'.n to
bo n oxistolloo, but vhoBo claims to authenticity
are certainly worry doubtful. The typcal head
OF Christ however, which camo to bo genornlly
used In byzantine art, was copied from tho
gems representing serapis, the Egyptian god,
Groeco and Italy during tho last period Of .gcm
cutting. During the middle aSos many OF tho
classical geins underwent similar trAnhforma-
