inches square and two inches thick In the

you bowl of thick cream, which is some
times or and sometimes fresh, to pour
into it in order to give II q body. and this
molasses-like mixture you eat, and you

But l have never found myself able
to get beyond the first course, for after you
have taken the liquid part Of the soup you
are expected to carve up and eat the
meat, and the meat forms quite meal In
itself. The trains usually make long stops
ct the stations and from 30 to 40 minutes
for q dinner is not uncommon. At every
station peddlers come around with fruits,
cakes and drinksbles, and common sight is
the old fellow with the samovar In which
he makes tea and serves to all who Will
buy It makes no difference how hot 1t II
this man always wears his overcoat, and a
long-visored cap usually shrouds his eyes
He Is generally bearded and he has tat,
jolly face like that of Santa Claus.

His tea is good and he serves it with bit
of lemon and lump of the hardest sugar
you ever put between your tseth. II you
drink the tea like he does you will put
lump Of sugar between your teeth and suck
the tea through this, and the chances are that

The engineers like it much better than
wood, and found that most of the boats on
the Volgs river used petroleum tor their
engines
The petroleum comes from the vast Rus
sian oil fields which lie along the Caspian
sea, and 1t Is shipped up the Volga in bulk
in oil ships which are great iron tanks In
the shape of barges and which carry thou
sands upon thousands of gallonA At yari-
GUS points along the Volga there are vast
oil tanks such as you see in Pennsylvania,
and Q great deal of oil Is stored under

dred and City millions Of gallons of oil a
year, and thoagh the big city of Moscow is
just on the edge of the Russian forests, o
large number OF its factories use petroleum
for fuel and find 1t much cheaper

North Russia is the land of forests, and
if you will draw line right across Russia
through Moscow or little above 1t, nearly
all OF the territory north Of this Will be

o. North Russia burn wood, and they have
engines like our old camel backs, with hl
smokcstacks shaped like q funnel, and with
great racks st the back of the engine, which
are piled high with eordwood- The wood
is loaded by men who carry it up on their
backs. 1t keeps two fremen constantly
busy throwing this wood into the engine,
and At nearly every station you will see
acres of wood piles ready for the reloadlng

he was travelling had the ticket and they
had already gotten on the cars, but this did
him no good, and though he cried and
howled he was held back while the car bore
