In Russia q cradle is used, contrived
rudely as to both structure and motion.
1t is an obiong box or wicker basket,
with cord from each of its four cor

looped cord underneath, in which the

One Policemam,s Power.

The Paris project of police is today
the most unaccountable and the most
powerful man in France. His functions
are highly varied. He controls not
only the ordinary police that patrol the
streets and keep order, but also the
detectives and officers who constitute
the "police judiciaire," and who work
up criminal cases. Besides these, he is
master of the political police-the
governments secret agents-and he
has in his hands secret service fund
to spend unaccountably except as
regards his immediate superior, the
minister of tho interior.
His department covers the mainte.
nance of order everywhere in streets
and public places, the punishment OF
misdemeanors, the inspection of weights
and measures, the organization of i'm
portant life saving and sanitary services,
authority to permit or to forbid public
spectacles, licenses of numerous sorts
such as omnibuses and cabs and river
steamers-the regulation of certain

a Ruler who Travels Continually BE

A Ruler Who Travels Continually Be
tween Two Files of Soldiers.
When the car travels in Russia the
precautions taken for his safety could
not be greater if he were in an enemy's
country. A battalion of infantry is de-
tailed for every two miles of distance,
and allowing 800 men as the effective
force of each battalion, every spot of
ground on both sides of the track is
covered by sentinels within easy dis
lance of each other. The car is sud
denly whirled off to the station, ac-
companied by the chosen twelve of his
body guard without pomp or circum-
stance, swiftly and silently. The car
always travels in train of five car
riages His carriage is built in a pc
culiar style.
The windows, while ample for light,
are high, so that a person sitting down
is invisible from the outside, and the
sides of the car are fortified with plates
of steel concealed in the ornamental
woodwork, but strong enough to resist
a bullet There are two sentry boxes
In the carriage, one at each end, and
each looking out at an opposite side
from the other.
The guardsmen on duty in these
apartments are shut in from any OBJ
servation from the interior of the car
riage, but at intervals of about two
feet, the whole length of the saloon, are
electric buttons, communicating with
the guard chambers, as well as with the
two carriages, one containing the suite,
and the other, in the rear, occupied by
the guardsmen not on duty So far,
therefore, as the train itself is con-
cerned, the car could be no more Sc
cure in St. Petersburg
The train speeds on to its destination
without halt, except on account OF
accident. At a distance of not less
than five miles ahead is pioneer train,
in which the imperial director of rail
ways and the chief engineer of the par
ticular railway on which the car is
travelling always ride, AS the pilot
train whizzes by the reserves along the
line rush to arms and guard the tracks
of the railway, waiting until the impe
rial train has passed, SO that the spec
tacle is presented of Continuous lines o.

rived at the end of his journey, the
car is escorted to the quarters intended
for the imperial family.
