SIBERIAN CITIES.
Though Prospecting They Never
theless Seem Dull and De.
pressing.

Perhaps the most curious feature OF
all Siberian cities and villages is the
quiet of them, says Anna N. Benjamin,
in Ainslee's. The American finds it de-
pressing. The places seem half dead,
yet they are alive and thriving. Our
conception of prosperity in new cities
is so associated with the claDg of the
trolley, the smoke of the factory, the
weird writings of the steam siren, and
the hustle of the population, that it is
hard for us to realize that prosperity
may exist in place Of dead calm.
Vladivistok, Khabarovsk, Blagovest-
chensk and Irkutsk all present the
same features. Blagovestchensk, in
the heart of eastern Siberia, on the
junction of the Zeya river with the
Amur, is, perhaps, the most interest
ing city. On the central square of the
city, where the market is, face two
large department stores which for size,
beauty of architecture and variety of
stock would do credit to any American
city. The bank buildings, the museum,
and other business and government
houses, are of brick or stone. Good
schools have been established, so that
it is possible for boy here, as we'll as
in all Siberian cities, to receive thor
ough education. In Vladivostok a
training school for eastern diplomats
turns out graduates accomplished in
oriental languages to begin their ca
reers as interpreters or secretaries of
1ega tions.

How Nature Warns.

Seaweed as test for sewage-this
is the discovery made by DIR. Let's,
professor of chemistry in the Belfast
college, and his coadjutor, Mr.. Haw-
thorne, of the same college, says Lon
don newspaper. Their attention had
been called to large quantities of putri-
fying seaweed outside Belfast and Dub
lin. Investigation proved that the
growth of the weed depended largely
on the sewage pollution of the water,
and that, in fact, it only fourished in
localities where such pollution existed.
The results of Prof. Let's experiments
were recently communicated to the
chemical section of the British associa-
ton.

OUR COAL PRODUCTION.
America Has Mining Advantages
Not Possessed by Great
Brftf in.

After the lapse of a century of ac-
tive mining, hundreds of millions of
tons of coal have been extracted from
the limited areas of Great Britain,
and it has come to such a pass that
the high prices hitherto prevailing
are absolutely required to meet the
expenses of production and transpor-
tation, for now it is necessary to 60
deeper into the ground for the coal.
Thinner seams have been worked, the
more attractive deposits having been
exhausted. All the entries now are
long, comparatively few new mines
having been opened in Great Britain
in the last ten years, says writer in
the Engineering Magazine.
A moments thought will make it
plain that underground haulage and
hosting are enormously expensive
methods Of transportation and that
certainty that the factors will increase
in Importance every day, as the coal
industry grows older. makes it plain
that the United States coal fields, al
most untouched as many of them are,
grow steadily in advantage as re-
CARDS the supply of the world. Gen
orally speaking, there is not a coal
mine IN the seaboard bituminous re-
gions from which coal has to be hoist
ed. 1t can in every case be drawn out
in cars. sometimes up a grade, it is
true, but quite as often the cars run
down grade. Then, too, the Amer
lean mines are generally new. All
devices are contrived with the view OF
handling large tonnage as economi-
cally as possible, and the present
shipper of bituminous coal is not
hampered by arrangements made years
ago when trade requirements were
less important. Very notable, too,
have been the arrangements for the
transportation of coal.

There was an old lady among the

It was obviously her first visit to the
