BETTER THAN KLOND|KE
SIBERIAN LINE WILL OPEN
IT UP.
Views of French Engineer Upon the
Great Railway and Its Prospects
The Prison Island of Saghalien.

The trip around the world can be
made in fifty days without any troub-
le. So say Mons. j. ID. Gavetski,
Russian government engineer, and
Mons p. Chamillard, a French engln-
Ger in the service of Messrs. Papot a.
Co., of Paris, who passed through Hon
olulu from the Orient, recently, after
having been engaged i'm the construc-
ton of the Trans-Siberian railway.
\ traveller can now journey from
Nladiyostok. on the Pacific coast, to
ST. Petersburg. in from ten to twelve
days. This vast line traverses "A thick
ly populated country, over rivers,
| through ravines along seemingly end
less trestles and over wide barren
| steppes. a route full of engineering
difficulties for 90S1 miles. With the
| great railway an accomplished fact,
it is easy to be seen that the military
strength of Russia on the Pacific
coast will be greatly strengthened.
| There are now over 10000 soldiers at
| Nladivostok and if trouble should rise
| 100000 could be rushed to the Pacific
coast within week. Nladvistok is IT,
self in an exceptionally strong posi-
| ton, for there are no less than thir-
tv fortresses there. and feet of from
seven to nine warships are ever in the
! harbor
The Trans-Continental line, after
leaving Nladivostok. runs northerly
to Xabarofsk. where the governor.
general of Western Siberia resides
This is "a city of 100000 and strong
military point.
Work has Just been commenced on
a line from Nladivosto< through Nor.
thern Manchuria to Blagowreschensk
parallelng the other line, and by
means of which the journey will b,
shortened 1900 miles. This line is be
ing built by virtue of concession be
tween Russia and China.
Mr.. Gavetski says that the country
through which the road passes is fab
ulously rich in minerals-far ricnel
than Cariboo. California or Klondike-
and there is more of it and more va
rety. There is gold. both quartz ant
placer: silver. coal and other minerals
Many companies are at work there
but the majority of the claims belong
to the Russian government, which is
working the ground. The companic.
are all forced to pay a royalty on Tn,
mineral taken out by them. These
mines. Mr.. Gavetski says. employ q
great many thousand men. and now
that the railway is open and the min,
operators are able to send their min
erals to Russia, the work will be in
creased greatly. The new road. h,
says, is literally patronized and vii
undoubtedly be a paying institution
Mr.. Gavetski has recently visited tn,
Island of Saghalien, in the Okhotsl
sea. where the evil doors of Russia ar,
sent to anguish in durance vile
There are 10000 prisoners there, ant
all are placed at work in the coal ant
lead mines. The average number .
prisoners sent to Saghalien yearly i.
200. so it will be seen that the con
Wet colony is in no danger of becom
ing depopuated.

Jade.

Jade, the Chinese symbol of the soul,
is one OF the most interesting minerals
in the world. 1t is possessed Of peculiar
interest to the mineralogist because of
It's unique mineral properties, to the
chemist because Of dispute as to its
elementary composition, to the ethnolo-
gist because of its peculiar uses, to the
archaologist because of it's strange as
sociations with early history, to the
poet because Of its symbolic character
in literature and to the philosopher be-
cause Of its association in the philosophy
OF the sages with various virtues out of
which grew the Chinese symbolism
the soul.
Jade is best described by the famil-
lar name of pebble, of which it is the
finest variety in respect of texture, the
heaviest and the hardest known to the
lapidary. 1t is susceptible of high
polish and is so tenacious that it can be
cut into the most intricate and fragile
shapes. There are exceptional tints but
here jade may only be said to range in
color from ivory white to deep olive
green. Among substances known to the
hineralogist it has no rival in the num-
Der of it's destinations, and no apology,
therefore, is offered for ranking it with
precious stones.-Good Words.

Lizzie the young daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. George Spencer was driving

were broken. The team escaped with
out any injury and the only damage
done was to the buggy.

Mrs. Gerhardt came to Seattle from The

She had not seen him for three

Mrs Gerhardt was at her wits end. She
did not know how to draw the man out any
