Siberia's Railway.

There is soon to be new country
to visit and new way of going round
the world. It seems only the other day
that Jules Verne's man went around in
80 days, and thought it considerable
feat. The record for circumnavigation
is now 66 days, or thereabouts. Baron
Hilkoff, the combination of American
mechanic and Russian prince who was
in this country recently, said that twhen
the railroad across Siberia is finished,
which, he thinks, will be in four or five
years, the time of getting around will
be cut in two, and from 80 to 33 days
will suffice for it. He allows ten days
to cross Siberia from st. Petersburg,
ten days from Vladivostok to San Fran
cisco, and 13 days from there to St.
Petersburg again. Early in the next
century, then, the tired American may
turn his face eastward when he starts
on his months vacation, and keep Il

departed in wrath.
The owner Of the safe thought tor .
time and then summoned the maid serv-
ant. s
How did the policeman know about
the safe?" he demanded.
Sure, I told him when called him in
about the tramp" was the reply.
''The tramp?"
Yes, the tramp that was keeping
about the basement door and wouidn't
go away" J"
Dear me" exclaimed the wife of the
owner, in alarm. "Can It really be true
that q safe attracts burglars?'''
Nonsense" replied her husband,
stoutly. "All these people just think
that because safe man can pull my leg
they can pull it, too. But they don't
know what the safe business is.'
Nevertheless, the wife stayed awake
al! night listening for the grinding o..
the burglars tools upon the steel sides
of the safe. That was the first days
work of the safe. But it was nothing
to the harm it did on the second day OF
its stay in its present quarters.

MISCHIEF IN A SAFE.

The safe proved to be full of surprises
and made trouble from the start. The
man who bought it lives in New York
and goes to Brooklyn to sleep. The
story of the safe goes back to the day
when he had visitor at his Office whose
tongue was hung on the principle of
Tesla's new electric oscillator, which vi
brates surprising number of times in
a second. The visitor had safes to sell,
and, when the citizen said he wouldn't
buy one, turned on the current that ran
l'is tongue. Straightway the Office was
filed with a buzzing, whirring, penetrat-
ing effect that made the proprietor whirl
about in his chair and clap his hands
over his ears. The general purport of
the disturbance was to the effect that
the citizen did want to buy a safe,
whether he thought SO or not; thati if he
didn't need one for his office he'd better
get one for his house, and not have all
his silverware and valuables stolen, and
that he'd never have better opportuni-
ty of buying a safe in his life than right
at that moment.

CHANGES IN THE EARTH's AXIS.
Continual Slight Changes In All Parallels
of Latitude.

OF all the astronomical problems un-
der discussion Of late years, one of the
most interesting has been that of
changes in the earth's axis. It has been
found that the imaginary line about
which the earth rotatcs once day is
not invariably fixed with reference to
the earth, but is continually changing
its position in that body. The term
pole has, therefore, to be taken in
two different senses: (1) AS the end
of the shortest diameter of the earth
this is fixed point, with reference to
the earth, as long as the earth keeps it's
shape, and may be called the "pole of
figure" (2) the pole may be defined as
the end of the diameter about which the
earth is revolving, and this pole may be
called the "pole of rotation
It is found that the pole of rotation
is continually shifting its position with
reference to the pole of figure, along a
curved line of considerable complexity.
The distance between the poles is very
small, never as much as 40 feet. Large
ly through the unwearied researches of
DIR. S. C. Chandler the motion has been
shown to be mainly composed of two
parts. One part is a motion of the
pole of rotation about .;he pole of figure
in circle of radius 12 feet, with time
of revolution of about 428 days. The
second motion is of somewhat the same
character, but with period of one year:
and the amplitude of this motion has
varied during the last half century from
four to twenty feet.
Some idea of the actual motion may
be got by imagining crank-arm ~ feet
long attached to the pole of figure and
revolving once in 428 days. To the NOV.
ing end of this crank-arm is attached
another, which gradually changes in
length and revolves once year. The
free end of this traces out the path OF
the pole of rotation. The actual path is
! apparently quite complicated.
One of the principal effects of this
shifting of the pole is that the latitudes
of all places on the earth are continually
changing. In fact, it was by this peri
odic variation in the latitude that the
motion of the pole was detected. All
parallels of latitude are continually
shifting, with range of motion of less
than 40 feet from the mean position.
There is little or no astronomical evi-
dence of any progressive change in the
position of the pole of rotation, by vir-
tue of which it occupied a position
greatly different from the present. APP
; parently the former existence of trop-
! ical plants and animals in what are now
polar regions of the earth could be ex-
planned on such hypothesis; but no
one has yet been able to suggest a prob
able cause in the axis of rotation, and
an explanation must be looked for else
where. The small, periodic variations
are the only ones about which we can be
/ at all certain.-Popular Science News.

WE'RE ROBBED" SHE MoANED.

There is Thursday, and there is every
other Thursday. This particular
Thursday was not Thursday, but every
other Thursday, SO that it was the new
servants day out When the owner of
the safe got home he found his wife SIT
ling on the hall stairs, staring in front
of her, her face stony with white de-
spair.
Were robbed she moaned, as her
husband entered.
''Go wan!" he retorted, arily.
"Yes,'' she said, finding relief in tears,
"when went to the safe to get the sill
yer for dinner, found that the door
wouldn't open. Thieves have robbed the
safe and changed the combination so
that we wouldn't find out about it until
it was too late to catch them!"
"Come Off" rejoined her husband.
"It IS So" she continued, indignantly.
"The real trouble is that you don't
know how to. open it yourself" re-
marked the husband, as he led the way
to the safe.
He twisted the knob about the re-
quired number of times and then pulled
at the door. II remained shut. Rather
more seriously he began again and
checked off the numbers one by one.
His wife stood by in tragic silence. Still
the door remained shut.
Its out of order," he said, family.
where's the nearest telephone?"
He telephoned to the safe people and
demanded to know why they had sent
him safe that got out of order the
first day. They replied that their safes
Eever got out of order and sent over an
expert. The expert examined the knob
and gave itas his opinion that the lock
had been ta1npered with. He worked at
it for couple of hours and then got
it open. AS the wife had expected, the
safe was practically empty.
II told you how it would be when
you got it, she sobbed. 1--WE never
were robbed until you got that safe.''
The husband said nothing, but rushed
out for the police. Policemen in uni
form and detectives in plain clothes
hurried to the house and began to stare
with wrinkled brows at the safe. While
they were so engaged the maid servant
came in from her night out. She looked
upon the scene with amazement. Then
the light dawned on her.
"Have they robbed the safe?" she ex-
claimed, gleefully. Really and truly 2"
ooh, Mary" sobbed the mistress,
they've stolen all my silver!
what" shouted Mary, in sudden
alarm, and she rushed for the closet.
'.The silver!" exclaimed Mary.
where did you put it?''
where but on the back shelf of the
closet 2" and Mary broke away to search
her hiding place. There the silver re-
posed in safety.
Mary carried it out carefully and
looked over each piece affectionately.
Then she glanced in scorn at the safe.
"You don't think I'd trust it in any
thing like that, do you p she asked, in
her most contemptuous tone.
The policemen and the detectives
went away. The safe man fingered.
He looked doubtfully at the silver and
then at the safe.
Its funny he said, shaking his
head. IF that safe wasn't robbed, how
did the lock- get out Of order? It
couldn't have got out of order itself,
could it?''
The owner Of the safe has two de-
sires now. One is to meet the man who
sold him the safe. The other is to sell
the safe for about $15.--N. Y. Sun.
