A Russian Idea.

A Toxic journal is responsible for the fol

Of the Siberian rniway, is most important
port In Russia. Notwithstanding this fact
for over four months during the cold season
the port is blocked up with Ice, and the
shipping traffic is entirely impossible, and
therefore the railway loses much Of its ad-
vantages. The Russian authorities have
been endeavoring for many years to conquer

ships were introduced to break open the lee.

galien and the Russian mainland. He is of
the opinion that If this is done the cold cur
rent that enters the Japan sea from the
Arctic via Bering straits Will be checked,
and the passage of the warmer tide coming
from the south through the Tshuma strait
Will make the water on the coast Of Japan
as warm as Vladivostock. and the latter will
be warm all the year around. This scheme
was presented to the Russian government
for Its approval. and 1t is now engaged in Its
Investigation. There is a probability of this

Gen. Washington. Ice House.

We were a mixed company in the
dining car Ell route for Washington,

emptorily ordered the waiter to remove
The ice from his glass of water.

our hardy forefathers. Look at
our early statesmen; such men
as Washington, Jefferson, the
Adamses, and Lincoln in his
young days. Their digestion was
not spoiled by ice. Imagine George
Washington drinking ice water! Thank
heavens, ice houses were then un-

had gone to the tomb of Washington

when at length the bell rang to call
us back to the steamer, five or six of
us ran to the brink of the declivity

the water view. which showed beauti-

Il was not much hurt, but shockingly
muddy, and my companions rescued me
at the orilce below amid shouts of
laughter.
THE superintendent, who had been
attracted by the outcries, told us that
l had inadvertently fallen into George
washington's old ice house and that the
family was accustomed to store up a
supply of Ice in this pit for use during
the heat of the summer months.

CLEVELAND o., Aug. 13-A woman who
gives the police the name of Mary Ander-
son is under arrest here for selling forged
railroad mileage books. She and a we'll
dressed man arrivedEn the city Thursday
and registered at the American House as
R. II. Lucas and wife, of Pittsburg. She
sold three Baltimore & Ohio one-thousand-
mile books to as many brokers yesterday,
but this morning letter was received by
one of them from Pittsburg warning him
of the sale of forged Baltimore & Ohio mile
age books in that city. The warning was
given and when the woman tried to sell
book TO a SuperiOr-street broker, about 3
o'clock, she was followed to the hotel, an
officer summoned and the arrest made
Lucas saw her followed into the hotel and
got away, leaving his baggage. In the
Valises of the couple were found forty-three
thousandmile books of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad, cleverly forged, but not per
feet. The woman refuses to give any in

cell and weeps and fOndles young pet aIli-
gator about eight inches long. The couple
disposed of number of the books in Pitts
burg. II is suspected that they are two
members of an organized gang.
