RUssuAs STRATEGIC MOVE.
Understanding Between that nation
and America.

SEATTLE, January 8. DR.. l..
w. Hoenock, chief engineer of
the Irkutsk and Vladivostock divi-
sion of Russia's great strategic
railroad, said tonight that feeders
would be built from the main line,
one on an understanding with the
Persian Government to Herat, an
other into Afghanistan over the
Thibet mountains, and third in
to Beloochistan, between Afghan
istan and Persia. This will bring
Russia into the center of the ASH
attic powers and right at the doors
of India.
"You will, perhaps, be interest
ed to know" said the doctor, "that
the Russian Government is build
ing several merchantmen to ply
between Vladivostock and some
port in Alaska. We are now
building three of them at Vladivos-
took and three more are to be
built at Cronstadt. They will all
be finished within n year or SO.
1t is not decided which port We
will go to; perhaps one will be
made, for the United States is to
build railroad to some point
north of Alaska, and wherever it
makes its terminus there we shall
make our port"
"But that is simply PROPOSE
ton, isn't it, to run railroad
across the islands : Of Behring sea
to connect with Russian rail-
way ?"
mo, it is not simply pro-
position, but part of the grand
strategic plan, and it is being
carried out by an understanding
between the two countries. The
United States will build line
north of Sitka, cross the Behring
sea islands as far as practicable,
and from that point connect with
these ships Russia is building
making the journey from Alaska
to Vladivostock in twenty-fouI
hours. This will bring the two
countries very near together, and
being old friends, as they are
there might be an alliance some
day against our old enemy, Eng.
land. At least, 1 hope so. But
don't know; and, as before re-
marked, | don't talk politics."

LAND OF THE beers.
The Area, Population and climate OF
the Transvaal.

The Transvaal is the country
located in the highlands of South
east Africa, officially the South
African republic. The length of
the country from the Vaal river,
its southern boundary, to the Linn
popo river, which marks its
northern limit, is over 400 miles,
while line between the extreme
southern and eastern points run
ming from 32 degrees east longi-
tude, reaches 700 miles, the area
of the republic as a whole being
1879 square miles.
The population was, at the ra-
Their incomplete census of 1890,
set down at 119, 1913 Europeans, of
which half consists of the original
Boer population. The remainder
are mostly British born or Bri-
fish colonial emigrants. but most
of the other European nations are
also represented. The native po-
pulation in April, 1894, was esti-
mated at $40, l4S, and the British
Indian population at 1000.
The climate is. as rule, heal
thy, and in some parts exception
ally bracing. The natural sea-
ports of the Transvaal, geographic
cally speaking, are Delagoa bay
and Dunbar. From these ports
lines of railroad tap the center of
the State.

THE NEW WOMAN.

She Sprung From a Desire to BE In
tellectually Attractive.
One of those 'emancipated" women who
are said to be abroad in the land, but who
can't be distinguished by men from any
other women, writes as follows:
Without going into all the dry details of
the relationship Of the sexes in primitive
times and among uncivthzed peoples, we
may just take the broad facts which are
known to and admitted by every one. Wo-
man has. Of course, always been and al
ways must be mans physical inferior-and
In times past she has been actually IL not
literally his slave. She has been the toy
and sport OF man, with one, and only ona
chance Of asserting herself.
This has been the exercise Of personal
charm. which has enabled her to move In
man the passion called love, and thereby to
secure an ascendancy over him. The love

has been hers. and realizing that she could
only be powerful by arousing the senti-
mental passion In man. she has put forth
all her endeavors to find favor In his sight

Nov. as one OF those women to whom
men apply the scornful term 'emancipated.'
I should like to point out this important
fact that our sex Is gradually beginning to
recognise that 1t is ignoble to seek for ad-
miratton simply for its doll-like qualities.

l have said that the things I made were

they proved interesting-alto too in

such a sensation that 1 was ultimately
compelled to take 1t down.
This windmill had a spread of nearly
eight feet. yet 1t was very easily made

to considerable distance; but 1 always
