The Funeral Month Of March.

The Funeral Month Of March.
An observant metropolitan barber

The Bible tells US that with his hair

Romans considered badness q serious

quite satisfied with himself because
his poll Was bare.
The face. however, is the open book
and one can readily trace in its va

The bridge across the classic Oxus,

the Brooklyn bridge. The entire road
is a remarkable piece of engineering.

sands of the Kara Kun desert. But
Gen. Annenkoff, by covering part
Of his railroad with clay, by placing
in his embankment layers Of the
branches of a desert shrub, and by
cpltivating along parts of the route
many thousands of the desert plants
the roots of which retain the sand has
ont deterioration. The problem of a
water supply was solved by bringing
water in pipes from the mountains
that skirt 200 miles ofthe route, also
by canals from Murghab, while ar.
tesian wells are the scource of supply
between Merp and the Oxus. In a
region that is destitute of fuel, and
where the cold is at times intense,
petroleum has been utilized to drive
the locomotive and to heat the GO
railroad stations along the way.
