RACING THE MOON.
Over the Siberian Railroad Eurth's
Circuit May Be Made In
Thirty Days.

A military gentleman declares that
in the year 1902 he intends with a friend
to travel around the world in 80 days.
His companion will be Prince Hilkoff,
the Russian minister of railways, says
Stray Stories.
Suppose" he says, "we start from
Baltimore. It is, say, $3.50 miles to Seat
tie; then, via the Pacific, to Yokohama
4,50C miles, whence to Port Arthur, via
Nagasalzi, it is 1900 miles more.
Eat Port Arthur we leave ship, and,
going ashore, take train on the Man
churia extension of the Transsiberian
railway for ST. Petersburg, 5000 miles,
thence by rail direct to Berlin, 1000
again, this time on the Atlantic, to New
York, 1920 miles, winding up with zoe
miles or less of railroad.
"The total of rail travel is o,7OO miles,
and of water 5000 miles, an aggregate
of 1860 miles.
can average of 40 miles an hour by
train and 20 by ship would insure the
transit within 80 days.
Prince Hilkoff declares that with the
completion of the great Siberian line to
Port Arthur and Ta-Lien-Wan in 1902
he will make the time from London tC
Shanghai IL days.
The distance from London to Yoke
hama has already been done in 20 days

GENTLENESS IN WAR.
Singular Characteristic Of the
SamOans--An Illustrative
Incident,

War is savage in it's very nature, and
one looks for war among savages to be
peculiarly barbarous. That such is not
always the case among the people of
Samoa is attested by letter sent from
Samoa by an American gentleman who
recently visited Apia, and who gives
description OF Mataafa's army in camp
after a battle between the rival claim
ants to the throne, says Youths Com
panion.
1--WE went all about among the huts
where the savages were resting after
the battle and making preparations for
the next fight. 1t was very peaceful
scene, for their arms were all concealed
under the mats where the men sat, and
many of the soldiers were accompanied
by their wives and children. They
and beating tom-toms.
THE Samoans are a most amiable
race of savagts, and white people are al
ways perfectly safe among them.
Everywhere we were greeted with
smiles and friendly mods and the saluta-
ton, "Talofa, which means Love to
you,' from men, women and children.
Zone instance of their friendly feel
ing occurred during the big battle. A
white man, who lived in the street
where they were fighting, saw that two
of his horses had strayed out between
the hostile lines. He. did not want to
lose them, and he did not want to ven
+uro ont in tho limo If fro ca bo c4,ol>
white flag out of his window. Upon
seeing it, both chiefs ordered their men
to stop firing, and hostilities were sus-
pended while the white man went out
and drove his horses TO place of shell
ter. Then the combatants went at it
again."

AFRICAN RIVERS.
Eight Months Out of Twelve They
Are Dry and Drifts of Sand
Mark Their Course.

Tt is Distinguishing feature of most
African rivers that they contain no
water for at least eight months of the
year. 1t is true that water can almost
always be found in a river bed by dig
ging for it, but in outward appearances
a river is usually broad belt of sand
lying between high and precipitous
banks. Many and many a coach has
been upset in one of these drifts, as
they are called. The descent is always
steep, frequently SO steep that the
brakes cannot hold the coach, says
Gentleman's Magazine.
They start going down at a crawl,
and then the coach gathers way and
goes on with rush, the mules are
driven into heap anyhow, and one
wonders that they do not get their legs
broken; but they usually land all right,
while the coach, practically unmanage-
able, goes down like sort of toboggan,
jumping from stone to stone, and sway
ing like a ship in a sudden squan, and
may or may not arrive right side upper
most at the bottom. In fact, the pas
senger who has gathered his ideas of
coaching from trip to Brighton or
drive to Virginia Water, finds that he
has a lot to learn about the subject
when he gets to South Africa. Still, on
the whole, it was wonderful how few
accidents did occur, and if one cOnsid-
ers that the coaches ran night and day,
and that when there was no moon it
would sometimes be too dark to see
the mules from off the coach, it reflects
great credit on the drivers.

clined to discuss the alleged Repub-
lican kicking because he was made
chairman of the state committee, but
said of the head of the ticket: "The
nomination of Judge Nash was the
best that could have been made. He
is O. popular and strong man all
| over the state, and his name on the
ticket will be worth many votes to
the party" Colonel Dick seems to
take very little interest in who the
Democrats nominate for governor,
because he doesn't think that it will
make the slightest difference in the re-
suit.
Postmaster General Smith has
made public letter from +. W..
Vaille, director of posts, at Manila,
concerning the absurd story that
volunteers letters of the United States
were being opened and censored be-
fore being forwarded. Following is
an extract therefrom: cit is not
necessary to assure you [ am not
risking personal liberty by allowing
any letters to be tampered with, and
it will be useless to assure the orig
inator Of the absurd story Of censor
ship of the mails that he is mistaken,
because he knows that tn story was
manufactured for political reasons"
General Leonard Wood, who has
such a brilliant record as command
er of the Rough Riders and as mill
tary governor of Santiago, is in de-
mand. The big syndicate of capital
lists, which includes ex-Senators Cor
man, of Maryland, and Smith, of
New Jersey, and which has just
bought nine Washington railways
and two electric light companies,
which it intends to operate under
one management, has offered General
Wood a very large salary to resign
from the army and become its presi,
dent, and he has the offer under con-
sideration.
