1t is becoming evident that the czar
of Russia has among his subjects some
of the most depraved and ignorant
wretches in the world. Recently it was
announced that the practice of burial
alive was common among certain re-
igious fanatics, and now comes the
news that beggars in southern Russia
make it a practice to kidnap and mutt
late children so that their condition
would excite public sympathy and en-
able them to obtain aims. The Siberian
penal system has been criticised as inhu-
name, but apparently it is only the ap-

criticised. . tEF% ,

Thousands Of Empty Grain Cars Sent
Into Kansas.
Kansas City, Mo-. July 10. = Long
trains of empty freight cars have rolled
out of Kansas City for two weeks and
dropped off in two's and three's and
fve's on side tracks along the lines
of the railroads in Missouri, Iowa, Kan
sas, Nebraska and Oklahoma. These
empty cars, of which there are thou
sands, will be filled with new 81 wheat
inside OF four, or five weeks. A tremen-

best of management by railroad officials
will be needed to prevent,a huge grain
blockade, or a grain-car famine. Con-
servative estimates of crop statisticians
place the yield of wheat for this year
in Kansas alone at 10000. 200. bushels.

There is no country in the world that
is so bountiful in it's products or that
gives such rich rewards to legitimate
industry as our own green land, says the

Telephone wires seem to have an i'm
portant influence in preventing light
ming from striking, according to the in
vestigations of the German telephone
department.. Three hundred and forty
towns with telephone systems and 500
towns without them were under oLbser-
walton. In the former the lightning
struck three times for every hour of
the storm; in the later five times. More
over the violence of the lightning was

At last we know exactly how old the
earth is, for Lord Kelvin, the eminent
British sayant, has, after the calcula-
ton of years, reached the detininte con-
clusion that this terrestrial sphere has
been such for 100000 years. This is
not the chimerical assertion of the
orist, but the result of long and labori-

statement to humanity. =
