WATER ROUTE TO SIBERIA.
Admiral slakaroH's Views on the feasibility
or the Arctic HiEhway.


TACOMA, Wash, Jan. 30.-A Vladivostock
correspondent of q Japanese newspaper says
that Admiral Makaroff. who has lately returned
to st. Petersburg from a Journey along Russia's
northern coast, declares his conviction that 1t is
possible to travel to Siberia by water along the
Arctic Ocean. He found the chief obstacle to
the establishment of a maritime route TO the
mouths of the Obi and Yenisei rivers to DO the
ice foes from the Kara Sea.
Usually this sea is free from ice during Au-
gust. Admiral Marakoff believes regular COM
munication with these Siberian rivers and
thence to tho interior of Siberia can be estab-
lished during the summer months by providing
vessels bound for those parts with escorts Of
boats furnished with ice ploughs.
Capt. Virgins. by his voyages for q series OF
years from England to the Western Siberian
rivers across the Kara Sea, has already proven
difficult. The Siberian fleet through the Kara
Sea last summer had excellent success.

the Chinese brother is an alien, bur he
is not a fool. and those who try to prac-
tice on him with the idea that he is are
oadiy hoaxed. New York policeman n
found this out the other day, and the in
formation cost him just the price of one
Chinese suit of clothes. He had heard
OF Chinese gambling den IN Mott Street,
and thought 1t his duty to ferret that
place out. In order that he might play
ferret the more successfully. he conceived
the idea that il would be good thing 10

self nice yellow color, bought a queue
and adjusted 1t, put on a silk blouse with
the tail outside his wide. Tapping trou-
sers, slipped his feet into a pair of
wooden-soled shoes. and went forth 10
conquer. The disguise worked all righ,
in the American portions of the town.
One Chinaman appears 10 the uninitia;ed
very much like another. and passers-by
seldom examine a Chinese face with any
attention. But when he entered China
town the fun began. He had not been in
the Celestial kingdom five minutes before
the inha bitants knew him for what he
was. and soon there was a procession
of merry Chinese tagging at his heels and
initiating his very uncelestial gait The
fun that they had over him was some
thing delightful to see. OF course. he
missed the flavor of the conversation, as
it was in four or five different Chinese
dialects, but he understood the expression
of their faces and hands as well as ir

He was making show of himself equal
to any "Trip to Chinatown ever put on
the stage, and as he realized this he
headed toward the station-house. walking
fast, and still followed by his train of
admirers. Once safely within It's walls
he got out of the Chinese clothes and
into his own with all possible speed, and
he will never try that experiment again.

Danbury, Conn.,, Aug. lit is believed
that Miss May Brown, who was killed by

evening, committed suicide. She was
struck by New York. New Haven and
Hartford express train running fifty-five
miles an hour. Miss Brown lived with
her guardian. Charles Damn. in Wilton

pendently wealthy. The quiet of rural
life had depressing effect on her and
several times she had spoken of the un-
certainty of death if she should be struck
by one of the express trains.
The engine driver of the train which
killed the young woman saw her walking
slowly along the track. She needed neith-
er the whistle nor the noise of the train.
The accident caused a sensation in the
village when 1t was rumored that the
young woman had committed suicide.

One of the things which 1t Is well to
semi-tropical extensions of this country is
the part which electricity is likely to
play in our civilization. The introduction
of the various electrical contrivances of
modern life Will work a vast change in
the customs of the Philippines and Porto
Rico. For example. there is the electric
fan, which will probably in time replace
the punkah. There are electric motors
electric cooking arrangements, the tele-
graph and the telephone There is not
much doubt that in the future great fac
tories will use electricity instead of
steam as a motive power. In the Philip
pines this marvellous chained giant may
be useful to keep unclaimed natives in
order. There is a story in one of Jules
Nernes wonder books of ship which
charged a railing with electricity and
thus contrived to shock some unclothed
savages who could not have been shocked
by any ordinary means. If Americans
ever descend to the use of barbed wire
fences as means of defense, the wire
will be charged with electricity. Taking
all these things into consideration. il is
certain that the doses of bottled light
ming which we shall apply to our new
possessions will be immensely effective in
various directions.
