The automobile is likely to play an
important part in military operations,
and experiments with them at home
and abroad are being observed with
keen interest by army officials. Gen
eral Miles is understood to have
taken a keen interest in the subject
and it would not be surprising If he
makes some reference to it in his an
nual report The reports of our mil
itary attaches who attended the army
maneuvers in Europe this summer
show that the automobile played a
prominent part in the transportation
of supplies, and that it was used with
effect in the German exercises in the
delivery of reserve ammunition. The
United States Signal Office recently
purchased three automobiles, which
have been received at the Fort Myer
station They will be used in the
work of the signal corps In the trans
portation of quartermaster or ord
nance material.

STEALING GOLD IN SIBERIA.
In Spite of Stringent Law Enormous
Quantities Disappear.

In spite of the most stringent Rus
sian laws on the subject-the taking
away of gold without government con-
sent-there is an enormous business
done all over Siberia in gold, both
dust and, especially, nuggets stolen
from the workings. It is a criminal Of
Tense to be found in possession of gold;
but as so large proportion of the
population of Siberia consists of those
sent there for punishment, and the
only further punishment they have to
fear is deportation to some yet more
distant region of the same barren and
joyIess land, the deterrent is by no
means so formidable as a mere perusal
of the awful menaces of the statutes
at first sight seems to convey. More
over, the successful dealer in stolen
gold rarely fails to escape the penal
ties of his offenses, even when caught
redhanded.
The Russian official even in Russia
proper is seldom altogether unreasOn-
able; and in Siberia, where the preg-
nant saying of the dishonest "chinov-
mix, tits long way to Peter''-that
is, st. Petersburg especially signif-
icant, the official is "good-natured' in
the extreme, and a substitute can al
ways be bought to accept unpleasant
responsibilities. A great part of this
gold is conveyed over the Chinese
frontier is; across the River
Amur, which is the sole defense Of the
frontier against smuggling from both
sides-and finds a ready sale at ruinous
sacrifices in exchange for a certain
fiery Chinese vodka. The valuable
properties Of this spirit, much es-
teemed, by Russian and native alike,
are that it gives the consumer the
beatitude of intoxication one day, and
on the next he can attain the same eX-
allied state by the cheap expedient of
