SMITH ON THE CARS DEATH.


The Ex-United states Minister 20 Russia
Talks About ITS Erect on Europe.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 22.-Ex- Minister
Charles Emory Smith, who, during
the time he represented the United
States at St Peters burg had ample
opportunity to observe the personal
and political characteristics of the
car, talked interestingly when asked
by a press reporter for his Impressions
as to the effect the death Of the car
would have on the Russian empire
Mr. Smith said:
The impending death of the car
would in my opinion, be a serious mis-
fortune for Russia and for Europe.
1T IS not prOba BILE that there Will be
any marked change IN the conserva-
tive part of the imperial governme mt.
The policy of the present reign has
been wise, prudent and firm It Is
likely to be followed But
in the nature Of the case with
must be solicitude until the
lines are settled. As to Russia in
ternally, the present emperor has
given her tranquility and stability.
There is little discomfort no arita-
tiOn and general devotion to the
crown on the part Of all classes IN
expected change necessarily breeds
anxiety, but it finds 4 loyal public
temper and with wise counsels It will
be easy to move forward without dis
turbance-
Alexander III has been an upright
and earnest ruler Less commanding
than Nicholas, less liberal than Alex

His personalities have inspired con-

He has been steadfast. conscientious

reactionary tendency which followed
the killing Of his father. and which

he has united a strong sense Of JUS

a Wonderfully Ingenious Automaton
Made In FRANCO.

a Wonderfully Ingenious Automatou
Made In France.
The industry Of building automa-
tons has been thoroughly revived in
France. One Of the latest specimens
is the spinning girl" an exception
ally ingenious automatic figure. The
spinner is arrayed in the picturesque
style of the Vatican period. The
face looks very natural. and the hair
trembles in crisp curls around the
pretty forehead, caused by the mo-
ton of the foot and hands and che
driving mechanism. The action of
the spinning wheel is quite realistic,
and the spinner's hand seems TO twist
the thread as she draws It from the
loom and winds it onto the spool
The building Of an automaton Of
this kind is a very complicated affair
The whole scheme must first be out
lined and designed, before a model
can be made Of il either in clay or in
wax, from which a hollow mold is
cast Every important part of the
figure is represented in this mold
Great care is bestowed upon the
costume, 50 as to conform with the
epoch from which the subject is
taken. The mechanism is always
complicated, and requires an especial
ly inventive genius AS a rule the
cloclx-worlS movement is employed.
The Frenchman, Vichy, is considered
to be the greatest automaton artist
of the day, and has done much to re-
vive this ancient art among the me-
chanical geniuses Of the closing cen-
