A SIBERIAN RAILROAD.

The Russian Government viii push at
once the construction of a railway
across Siberia. The Department of
Railways of that Government recently
sent civil engineer to Canada 10 ex-
anime carefully the construction and
management Of the trans-contIncntal
route there.
Although the line of the proposed
road is not yet finally determined,
still it will probably begin at.Zlatoust,
IN the Ursl Mountains, the present ter
minus of the road from Samara.
Thence it Will run to Omsk; from there
TO Irkutsk, on Lake Bakal, which it Is
proposed TO cross by ferry. Thence the
road VIII run to SrIetensk, on the
AmOor. This river Will be used tom
porarily "a far as Boosa, from which
place the road Will strike across to
Nladivostock. on the Sea Of Japan.
TINS port, which Will be the Pacific
terminus, IS abut 1000 miles from Zla-
toust, or about 5000 miles from St.
Petersburg. From this port a line Of
steamers will run 10 Yokohama and
connect with the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way and other steamers.
The road Is primarily military one,
but VIII pass through much level and
fertile country, for the popular idea
that Siberia : one solid ice-and snow
bank is far from correct. Especia ly IS
this the Gaze, so far as the southern
part Is concerned. The prairies watered
by the TObel and Ishim are said to be
extremely fertile, and from Omsk to
Irkutsk, q distance of about 1000 miles,
the country is dotted with villages and
the climate well suited for grain grow
