The Meat Mines Of Siberia.

i 1t has often been stated that the in
habitants of Polar Siberia feed their dogs
on mammoth meat, preserved in Ma.
ture's ice.house, and sliced off at the
convenience of the dogs. How these
tropical animals came to be SO near the
pole is an unsolved problem Of the
earth's history. There are various the.
cries intended to explain the conditions,
but none Of them are quite convincing.
The most reasonable one is that count
less ages ago there must have been !
sudden change Of temperature at the
poles from torrid to frigid. The ami
mails were caught out Of their latitude,
frozen and buried in ice. Arecent trav-
eler in Siberia relates that, happening
to drive in sledge along the base 81
one of the lnonstrous ice-cliffs that over
hang the estuary of the River Lena, he
came upon q pack Of wolves devouring
the frozen flesh of q mammoth, and at
the hands Of nature the wolves were
helping themselves. So nature brings
|fecompense for her freaks and takes
care lof her own. The meat mines Of
Siberia have not been developed, and no
one knows what ricnes they may con-
tain or how they may yet be utilized in
the economy Of the world. The search
may discover the delicacy Of fles De
! ssG,pnsoth warranted fresh from Siberia.

charge of the traffic in parcels, horses

charge of the trathc IN parcels' nolses'
dogs, carriages, etc., which are usually
carried in passenger trains.
The wagon or car department takes
note of all movements OF rolling stock
belonging to one company over the lines
of another, and distributes the charges
arising therefrom. Five hundred
special officials of the Clearing House
are stationed at the important functions,
and elsewhere along the lines, to watch
the movements of cars and make a
record of the character of their contents.
As every train passes they note the
number and description of the cars, and
the g nature of trade" under which
term are comprised the kind of goods,
the date, the names of the sending and
receiving station, and the particulars OF
the route, all of which information is
obtained from cards on the cars. At the
same time the station at which any
strange car arrives sends in a similar
report, specifying the nature OF the
load, the station whence the car comes,
and how and when it is further disposed
of. The department compares these re.
ports, and thus is able to give its owners
o correct account of the course OF every
one of it's cars from the time it leaves its
own line until it returns to it. The &C.
counts arising from this use of cars are
adjusted quarterly.
In the lost luggage department daily
reports are received from each station,
with an accurate description of the stray
articles. If the baggage found is seen
to be identical with that described as
lost, it is at once returned to its owner.
Otherwise particular description of it
is sent to all stations where similar arti-
cles have been found. As soon as a
stray article is claimed the Clearing
House is notified of the fact; and all
claims for lost luggage are settled by it.
This is the system Mr.. Carlisle ad-
viscs the Russian railroads to adopt. In
his opinion it secures the objects the ad.
vocates of State control are DESTROYS Of
attaining, and avoids the dangers which
are sure to follow such transfer of
power. He cnumerates three things
which are requisite in railway manage
ment: The roads must provide for
through travel without change of car
and without long halts; shippers must
be able to pay all freight charges in a
lump sum, no matter what the distance
or the number of different lines used !;
and the finding of missing articles and
the settlement for lost or damaged arti-
cles must be made as easy as possible.
These essentials, he argues, are salts
factorily secured by the English Clear
ing House plan, and its success shows
that railway companies can, by an or
ganization among themselves, compass
all the desirable ends it is proposed to
attain by turning them over to the Gov
ernment.-New York Sun.
