The Trans-Siberian railroad will, it is
expected, be finished next Spring. The
part which United States skill has play
ed in it's construction and equipment is
interesting. In 1896 everything for the
railroad work was being supplied by
England and Germany and the Rus
slams had no idea that we could com
pete with those countries. The English
thought SO. too, and We're charging a
big price. AS our goods were offered at
much lower price, in some instances
only half the English figure, the Rus
slams decided to make trial of them.
That trial was all that was needed
is shown by the fact that we have now
virtually driven the English and Ger
mans from the field. We have a mo-
nopoly of the nails and structural iron
used. Forty locomotives are now on
their way and sixty more will soon
follow. Thousands of cas-, passenger
and freight, have been ordered. Ameri-
can steel rails to the extent Of $4,000
tons will be laid in Manchuria, and
large orders are being filled here for
electric supplies and material for equip
ment of cars and stations. Railroad
cross ties from oregon, tools from
Ohio, steel rails and locomotives from
Pennsylvania will make parts of this
great railroad and its furnishings.
And having got hold in Russia the
United States will keep hold by fur
nishing the best supplies at reasonable
prices.

CEMENT BRE4 TIERS.

The cement breakwater at Marquette
is one of the most interesting govern
ment works on the great lakes, as it is
the pioneer of a new class of construc-
ton, being the first breakwater built of
natural cement When the work was
begun many engineers doubted if the
natural cement could be used in place
of Portland, which sells at about three
dollars barrel, and which is altogether
too expensive for such work But ex-
perience has proved that, mixed with a
small quantity of Portland, it answers
every purpose, and, indeed, so well has
the early built part Of the breakwater
ton and climate to which it has bean
subjected that the government has un-
dertaken great deal larger work of
the same kind at Duluth. The alternat-
ing heat of summer and the terrific cold
of winter have not cracked the cement,
waves have not affected it in the least,
and ice and logs which have battered it
for weeks at d linle have scarcely more
than scratched it. 1t is calculated that
the first year after a block is put in it
will be cut down three one-hundredths
of an inch by these agents, but that the
abrasion is less year after year, till,
when time has been given for the ce-
ment to harden thoroughly. it becomes
practically nothing. Engineers say the
structure will be standing in good SER
viceable condition one hundred years
from now. Twelve years is the average
life of the old-style, wooden-cribbed
breakwater filed in with stone. As the
cost of the concrete structure is but lit

for breakfast Another strange but
delicious dessert, whose mysteries
have never been able to fathom is
called tortona, and is found only in the
best cafes. 1t looks like a slice from
slab Of pink tinted ice cream, but Is
not ice cream at all, though very cold.
