He said that at one Of the meetings men,

Wlp cossAck RIDERS.


Two Americans Saw Them Break Winter
Camp In Turlestan.
Messrs. Allen and Sacktleben, who
went around tho world on bicycles, give
the following account Of ono Of their
experiences in Turkestan;
One Of tho chief incidents Of our
pleasant soiourn was afforded by Gov
ernor IvanoR. We were invited to head
the procession of the CossaclSs on their
annual departure for their summer en-
camprnent in tho mountains. After the
usual religious ceremony they fled out
from the city parade ground. Being I'M
avoidably detained for few moments,
we did not come up until some time
after the column had started. As we
dashed by to the front with the Ameri-
can and Russian flags futtering side by
side from the handle bars, cheer after
cheer arose from the ranks, and even
the governor and his party doifed their
caps in acknowledgment
At the camp We were favored with
special exhibited Of horsemanship. By
a single twist Of the reins the steeds
would fall to the ground, and their rid
ers crouch down behind them as bull
wark in battle. Then, dashing forward
at full speed, they would spring to the
ground and leap baok again into the
saddle, or hanging by their legs would
reach over and pick up handkerchief,
cap or a soldier supposed to be wound
ed All these movements we photo
graphed with our camera.
OF the endurance Of these Cossacks
and their Kirghiz horses we had a prac-
teal test Overtakinga Cossack courier
in the early part of a days journey, he
became so interested in the velocipede,
as the Russians call the bicycle, that he
determined to SEQ as much Of 1t as pos
sible. He staid with us tho whole
day, over a distance Of 90 miles. Els
chief compensation was in witnessing
the surprise of the natives, to whom he
would shout across the fields to come
and see the tomasba, adding in explana-
tioD that we We're the American gentle
men who had ridden all the way from
America Our speed was not slow, and
frequently tho poor fellow would havo
to resort to the whip or shout; "Slow-
", gentlemen. Ny horse is tired. Tho
town is not far away II is not necessa-
ry to hurry so.
The fact is that in all our experience
we found no horse Of even the famed
Kirghiz OF Turcoman breed that could
travel with the same ease and rapidity
as ourselves even over the most ordina-
~ road.

II IS only outside Of Russia that It Is
possible to publish certain details Of the
splendid fetes attending the marriage
Of the czar's daughter II is contraband
to print in Russian newspapers the fact
that at the wedding ceremony the em-
press OF Russia was dressed in blue
moire antique thiolSly embroidered with
silver. Her majosty's jewels were sap
phires and diamonds Tho dress Of the
bride was entirely Of silver cloth. with
a train Of crimson velvet bordered with
ermine. On her head was large dia-
mond tiara, behind which was bridal
wreath, and then on top Of the head was
the small diamond crown worn by all
imperial brides nt their weddings
Some time ago all the newspapers in
Russia received an order forbidding in
future any reference tothe dresses worn
by the empress on state and public oc-
casions This wa done in consequences
Of the Russian newspapers having in
correctly described her majesty as wear
ing a dress which at the time was alto
cethor out Of fashion. London Letter.

Tho Estimates as to the Age Of tho worl
Famous Cataract.

Tho Estimates as to the Age Of tho World
Famous Cataract.
Professor J. W. Spencer says the fiixt
conjecture rs to the aggof Niagara falls
was made by Andrew Ellicott in 1890.
Ellicott believed the falls to be 55, 600
years old. About 184i Lyle estimated
the age of the falls as 80. 600 years. All
OF these early estimates were purely con-
lecture, but they were correct in ASSUME
ing that the gorge had been excavated
by tho river. Professor Spencer, in ont
lining the progress Of the falls, says
that little stream draining the Erie
basin once fell about 200 feet above the
brow Of tho Niagara escarpment This
stream was not over ono-fourth the vol
ume of the recent cataract and conse-
cuently excavated the gorge at a much
slower rate than at present.
During the early history Of the river
the waters Of the three upper lakes
emptied through the Huron basin by
way Of the Ottawa river. The height Of
the falls has increased several times.
The first episode, represented by a small
river falling 200 feet, lasted about H.
600 years. Then the height Of tho falls
was increased to 400 feet and took the
drainage Of the upper great lakes. At 1.-THE
same timo thore was series Of cas-
cndes, three ia all, the lower gaining ON
the upper until finally thoy were all
united in one great cataract much high
er than that Of today.
Subsequently the waters were raised
at the head Of Lake Ontario, and the
falls approximatcd to the present condi-
tions after lapse Of 1900 years from
the end Of the FIRST episode. The age Of
tho present falls is put at 1000 years,
and another 1000 years was probably
occupied by transitional changes Of a
very gradual character. 1t is now 8, 1000
years since Lake Euron emptied into
Lake Erie for the first time Tho land
has risen about tho outlet Of Lake Erie,
and If the present rate Of change contin-
ues IN 8. 600 or 0, 900 years the waters Of
the four upper lakes will be turned into
the Mississippi river drainage at Chi.

was really the exhibition day for the
bride. Indeed she found at meeting the

exhibition the happy pair donned their
finest bridal attire. The bride and groom

proudly walking in q little procession

marriage.
In Larned's History OF Windhnm

Of such an amusing scene In Brooklyn,
Conn. Further public notice was drawn
to the bride by allowing her to choose
the text for the sermon preached on the
first Sunday Of the coming out Of the
newly married couple. Much ingenuity
was exercised in finding appropriate and
sometimes startling Bible texts for these
wedding sermons
