EARTH IS GETTING SMALLER.
At Least It's Peoples Are Coming Closer
 Together Every Day.

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat; One of the wonders of this marveious age is the rapidity with which the re- mote quarters of the earth are being brought close together. According to the Russian minister of railroad, Wheh Russia's new trans-Siberian railroad IS finished the trip around the Worla can be made in thirty-three days. when Jules Verne, just twenty-five years ago. sent the fictitious Phineas Fogg around the world in eighty days this exploit was deemed to be as near the absolutely impossible as at one time Puck's feat was of putting glrdle round about the earth in forty mlh- utes." Two American women traVel= ing in opposite directions, beat Fogg $ mythical exploit few years ago. When the Russian railroad is bulit' however, the record of their journeys will, i'll tie comparison, seem like the old stage coach and sailing vessel faV= els do today With what incredui1ty would the nayigators of century ago have looked at the forthcoming Rus sian time table. The remnant of the fleet with which Magellan left San La- car, in Spain, in 1519, returned to that port in 1922. Three years, lacking two weeks, were required for the cifeum- navigation of the earth. The first of the British world circlers, Drake, who sailed half century later, was as long making the distance Cook, who made the journey 8 century later than Drake, was two years ten months on the yoy- age. In the century and half be- tween Magellan and Cook the time of the world circuit has been shortened in only an imperceptible degree. There had been but little improvement in the speed of the ocean vessels since the days when 0dysseus in his shallop, af- ter the Trojan war, started on his re- turn to Ithica. No Improvement of consequence, indeed, was made until the days when steam began to be ap- piled to ocean navigation and that WAS at such a comparatively recent date that on May A, 18i9, the day on which Victoria was born, the first steamboat which ever crossed the Atlantic start ed, leaving Savannah for Liverpool and taking twenty-six days 10 make the voyage. which would now be made in less than six.

Tortured snan,sh prlsoncrs.

In view of the inquiry which it is understood has been granted by the Spanish government into the charges of torturing prisoners in the casemates of Montjuich, in Spain, it may be of interest to set out some of the items in the indictment made against the authorities. It is said. in the first place. that reward of 10000 pesetas was offered to any jail official who could extort an avowal of guilty from a prisoner. Acting under this stimu- Jus the jailers are stated to have forced the wretehed creatures under their control to run round their cells day and night for eighty hours at stretch, heavy whips being used to keep the victims awake The officials are also said to have deprived them of all food save salt stock fish and ardent spirits, confession being the price of a glass of water Not a few paid it, slaked their thirst and, it is contend ed, were summarily shot.k It is further alleged that wedges were driven under the nails of the prisoners with ham, mers and allowed to remain until the nails slonghed away. Even more hor- rible mutilations are stated not to have been uncommon. One of the most cruel devices was, it is affirmed, A machine like diver's helmet, fitted with tube allowing the victim to breathe, while a screw compressed slowly the sides and top. thus produc- ing ineonceiyable agony. One pris- oner, Moras, is stated to have under gone this torture more than once, and to have been driven mad by it.

CONVICT ISLAND.
Where the Worst Type of Criminals
 Have a Chance for Reform.

Where the Worst Type of Criminals
 Have Chance for Reform.
 Since 1858 the Andamans, a group of thickly wooded islands toward the east side of the Bay of Bengal, have been used by the Indian government as a penal settlement for life convicts. There are about 12,000 convicts in the settlement at Port Blair, which is conducted as practical reformatory for the reform of the criminals. Every convict knows that his treatment de- pends fafter certain preliminary pe- riod of severe discipline) entirely on himself He also knows that good be- havior will of itself commute the life sentence to one of twenty years. A large number of the convicts are men respited from death sentences. The newly arrived convict is placed in the cellular gaol, where he is solitary alike in his cell and during his daily walk around the ring for exercise. At the end of six months he is transferred for a year and half to an associated gaol, where he labors in a gang during the day and sleeps in separate cnbic1e at night. For the next three years he is locked up in barracks at night with prisoners Of the same class and kept hard at work all day After this pe- ried the severity is eased down, the tasks are not so irksome and his ca pacity is studied in the employment given to him and he begins to earn a small allowance, which he can either spend on little luxuries Or put into the savings bank. At the end of ten years he is eligible for q ticket of leave, with liberty to earn his living within the Island settlement i'll his own way. He can live in his own house, farm little land and move about within Q consid- erable area unwatched. He can send for wife and children, or, fl baehe- Tor. marry a convict woman. At the end of twenty years, if of good be- havior, he obtains an absolute release, with free conveyance to India to make a fresh start as a free man.

Fire Department Chaplains.

The New York fire department is to be equipped with chaplains, just the same as regiment of soldiers. The officials consider that it Is as necessary to have chaplains at fires as it is to have them accompany troops to the firing line in time of battle. Loss of life at fires is sometimes very heavy. as was recently shown here. There should always be some one present to administer spiritual consolation. Fire Commissioner Scannei has appointed two ehaplains for the department. They will hold the rank of chief of battalion, and will perform the same duties as ehaplains in the army, in all cases ae- eompanying their battalions into &C., tion. The only distinction between ar- my chaplains and fire chaplaihs is that the latter will receive no compensation for their seryices.-New York Correg- pondence Pittsburg Dispatch.

An Interesting Diseovefy.

An interesting discovery has reward cd the researches of officials at Hamp- ton Court palace, London. There has always 1urked a suspicion that the walls of the famous Queen Anne.s drawing room, which is in the center Of the east wing Of Wren's famous building, contained more than the sec ond rate portraits of the Georges. Never however, was it supposed than an im- portant work by that once famous dee oratiYe artist, VerriO, had been con- cealed from the public eye since 1735. owing to 8 stupendous act of yaHdal- which ,-~it~i presumed. WAS cafz ried out by Queen Caroline in 1795. probably to prevent the apothesis of Queen Anne from meeting her eyes in her drawing room when she became queen. The date is known by the ex- traordinary act of the paper hanger of that time, who, in covering up Verrio's work, scratched on his name and the date of the paper hanging In taking down some of the portraits of the Georges, which were intended for Keu- sington palace, it was noticed by an official that the top right hand corner closed to the ceiling seemed abruptly cut off from the general scheme of the beautiful ceiling, which everyone had seen and admired, and which repre- sented Queen Anne in the chariot Of Justice, dressed in purple lined with ermine Over her head is a crown, held by Neptune and Britannia, while surrounding and floating in the clouds are various allegorieal figures repre- senting Peace and Plenty, etc. The discovery now made shows that the whole Of the walls were originally painted by Verrio in the same manner, the subject being Queen Anne's apotheosis as Queen of the Sea in the tour great quarters of the globe.

DIAMONDS OF VARIOUS HUEs.
Most of Them Are CoIorless, But some
 Are Red and Black

Although thousands of men and women in Chicago wear diamonds, at least on occasions if not constantly, few know much about the precious gems they value SO highly. While the largest number of diamonds are white, a clear. colorless, transparent stone is rarer than might be supposed. There are also red, blue. green, yellow, brown, black and pink ones. Heat often changes the color and after awhile the acquired hue becomes per manent. Yellow diamonds perhaps at- ford the greatest variety Of shades. Some of them surpass any other gem of that color. Specimens of canary eoiored diamonds are quite common. If the gem has a rose-colored tint it IS very valuable, while red tints. sur passing the ruby. and considered the most beautiful Of all precious gems, are exceedingly rare. X few varieties are on record. One weighing ten carats was bought by Emperor Paul of Rus sla for S100, 900. A cinnamon. OF brown. stone IS undesirable as it is seldom pure. A black diamond is nearly as scarce as a red one Blue diamonds rank next to red ones in variety and beauty. Those of 8. dark blue color, resembling sapphires, are handsome gems, differing only from the sapphires In quality and the beautiful play of eolors peculiar to the diamond. The only real blue stones are found in the mines of India. Besides the Bismarck and Hope diamonds, there are only two others in the world that are prop erly called blue diamonds. The green varieties are not as rare as the blue, black, red and rose-colored species. yet gfass-green or fine emerald color IS scarce. When it does occur it is more brilliant than the finest emerald There are several varieties of green tinted diamonds at the museum of nat ural history in Paris, but the best known specimen Is at Dresden and is considered one of the five paragons of the world among Chicago Chr r0nicle

NEW WAY OF MAKING STEEL.
It Is Cast in Vacuum and Tempered
 with IlanId Nitrogen.

Just as Americans begin to feel that they are upon the verge of developing superiority to Great Britain not only in shipbuilding, but in the steel trade. in which number of valuable foreign contracts have lately been taken by our manufacturers in the face of Brit ish competition, and just as nature seems to encourage the American as piratien by showing that the English coal mines will be exhausted within another fifty years, science seems to be coming to the aid of the Britisher and may be about to open new fields of competition in steel, in which America must take part if she Is to maintain her hard earned prestige The dis eeyery has been demonstrated in Lon den and is being made much of by the English press that the ability to pro duce perfect steel by casting 1t in a vacuum made by liquid hydrogen with a process that it is not proposed to make public, has at last attained prac- tieability. 4 company has been formed with capital of 90 ,000 rounds to ex- perimentally develop the process, and if the plan is successful as Prof. Dewar the discoverer, presumes it will be, the air bubbles that now cause flaws and weakness n steel will be done away with, and metal will result such as the world has never seen. To say that this means possible revolution in the steel trade is to put it mildly. and f the English government can control the process, as it Is now intimated may b9 the cases then American scientists and those of other countries will be put upon their mettle to get even with the Britishers. Liquid hydrogen, which is the great agent now discoy- cred, is described as clear, eoIorless, transparent and very volatile fluid. no clearer than pure water but only one fourteenth the density of water. In it's lightness it is out Of all proportion to any known liquid. 4 piece of paper when placed in it sinks. The differ ence between liquid hydrogen and liquid air is as great if not greater than the difference between the ordi- nary temperature and liquid air. Liquid hydrogen places temperature at within twenty degrees of absolute zero. which is represented by 494 degrees Fahren- heit, and 273 degrees Centigrade be- low zero. The boiling point of liquid hydrogen is 252 degrees below zero, at which it is capable Of enormous pressure. The discovery must affect every problem in physics and chemis- try. It's possibilities are illimitable It may reVolutionize the methods that have been laboriously built up during the last 300 years.

Residents Vie with One Another in
 Making Them PreseRtable.
 Bieyelists who have ridden much on the asphalt streets Of German cities say that the tendency to side slip is there much less marked than on sim liar payements in this country The explanation of this fact may possibly lie in the statement which is made by the American consul at Breslau that the asphalt streets in that city are regularly washed, the purpose of the washing being to remove the slime which the asphalt seems to leave and to keep the street from being slippery. The washing has the further effect of preserving and hardening the asphalt. The care taken of the asphalt by the city authorities contrasts strongly with the methods usually adopted in the United States. For instance. the space in front of the consulate is di- yided into four squares, which are in charge Of one man. After cleaning the streets early in the morning he wheels out a barrow load of very fine. sharp sand and scatters it lightly over the streets to prevent slipping. On rainy days the process is repeated sey- eral times. Once a week the whole street is sluiced and thoroughly washed with sprinkling carts These are followed by ample roller brushes, which sweep the water and slime into the gutter, whence lt is carted away. After this the man who has charge of the street comes along with his wheel barrow and sand sprinkler. In spring or autumn, when the streets are often sloppy and wet, the washing is dcne several times during the week.

Chinese Tea Transported Through Russia
 The Siberian News, Of Tomsk, is one of the few newspapers published in Si- beria. and gives some interesting par tieulars in regard to the transportation of Chinese tea through Russia. The Tomsk newspaper says proudly that in the first twenty days of last January no less than 19,000 sleighs loaded with tea passed through the Siberian city Every sleigh carries usually five bales of tea, packed in OK skin, each weigh ing from 100 to 160 pounds. The men sleep on the sleighs during the trip across Siberia, which lasts nearly one year. It would be shorter to send the Chinese tea by sea; but in this case the custom house duties are high, while they are comparatively small on tea imported by the land route. Russian merchants, who have long had most Of the European tea business in their hands, are greatly disturbed over the great growth in public favor of the Ceylon teas which are distributed from London.

The child is no4 large for her age, nor does she seeM to have muscles developed to much greater extent than other girls as young as she. but it is the opinion of all that if she keeps at the game she will in time be one of the greatest fe- male swimmers in the world. George Gaidzik lowered another world $ mark for boys under 16 years old when he swan two miles in 1:12:15. The record was formerly held by Ralph IIhlendorf. who made the same dis tance in 1:14:29 3-5. Other good per formanees by juveniles were as follows: Walter Horn, 12 years old, two miles .25:54; Lottie Mayer, 12 years old, two miles in 1:40; Charles Arens, II years old, one and half miles in 1:13.54; Arthur Gaidzik, 12 years old, one and half miles in 1:15, and Rob- ert Arens, years old, one and 8 half miles in 1:S5.
