Siberia and Central A.,..

Perhaps If John w. Bookwalter had been
elected Governor of Ohio when he ran for
that office several years ago and had con-
tinued in politics he might not nave gone
abroad. In that event this interesting and
instructive book of travel in Russia would
not have appeared. Siberia and Central
Asia" is the result of a trip through those
countries made by the author in 1895. 1t con-
sists largely of letters written by him while
on the move, but these nave been expanded
from notes. The author does not pose as
a literary man and makes no special at
tempt at fine writing, but he is a good
traveller, a keen observer and has a clear
narrative style. His special object in visit
ing Russia was to investigate for himself
the relation of Russia to the Eastern ques-
ton, and considerable space is devoted to
hat subject, but still more to descriptions
of the places and peoples he visited. His
description of the great Transsiberian
Railway, of it's commercial and political i'm
portance and Of travel over ii is full of in
terest. In travelling in Siberia he was i'm
the country. He had formed the idea that
1t was, in the main, a mountainous. broken,
barren and even sterile country, covered
with forests. He found it very different. "Of
all the surprises met with in my somewhat
extensive travels he writes, siberia is
the greatest. As a whole, it contains. per-
IdpS, lie largest COlllliuOuS AREA Oh leN6l
lands on the globe. Excepting spurs of the
great Altai range of mountains fringing it's
southern border and which cut occasionally
to some distance northward into Siberia.
the entire western half of the country is
exceptionally level, almost to fiatness.
Siberia is almost as level as the
ocean. In over one thousand miles / do not
believe the grace Of the railroad varied
three hundred feet. and in many places it
was as straight as an arrow, without the
slightest curve for forty or fifty miles. In
deed there was one stretch Of perfectly
straight road for nearly eighty miles" This
vast prairie region, .equaling in extent two
thirds of the United States. except Alaska,
contains the finest pasturage in the world
and can grow wheat and other cereals equal
to those of the Dakotas. AS 1t is as yet
practically uninhabited, having less than
one inhabitant to the square mile, one easily
perceives that it has great development be-
fore it in the future. Mr.. Bookwalter visited
many new places and peoples. had many
novel. and interesting experiences. and his
descriptions of them, aided by numerous
realistic photographs taken by himself,
make an unusually interesting book and
one that fills a distinct place in the descrip-
tive literature of Russia. II is published
by the author at Springfield. o.

Under the guise of an allegorical story

the unknown. The author argues that
death does not end all. that IL does not even

A statement was made in some OF the
papers last week that as a result OF the
foundation of the big ticyole trust In
New York 1t was probabls that the Lowell
bicycle factory at South Portland would
suspend operations, at least as far as the
manufacture Of bicycles was concerned.
Col. Benjamin S. Lowell was seen by q

there was any truth In the statement rs
printed In the papers. Col. Lowell said
emphaticaliy that there was no truth In
the report ami could not account for its
getting into circulation as ne had never
been consulted in the matter as regards
the article printed although the company
had been approached regarding joiI-
ing the trust but decided to keep right
on doing business under their ownsname
as heretofore. ''You may say he said,
