The village of Sessiagh is typical one.
It is situated in the heart of the hills at
a point where three big glens meet. Ses-
siagh contains about forty houses, half
of which are shops, (or stores), a chapel
(Roman Catholic) a church (Episcopa-
liam, a police barrack and a market
house, (the upper floor of which answers
all the purposes of a public halD. Half
the houses are of two stories, Chiefly
slated, a third are of one story, matched

on either side the highway.
Sessiagh is forty Irish miles (flfty Amer

shopkeepers' goods must be brought by
horse and cart over those forty miles-the

achite vases, a collection of Buddhist idols
secured in Thibet and Kashgar by the
well-known writer and president of the
Russo-Chinese Bank, Prince Oukhtomsky.
The case, which is closely guarded by
detectives in plain clothes, holds set of
priceless jewels from the Ural region and
another some samples of Siberian gold
in nuggets of various sizes and also in
the block and in powder. That Eastern
Siberia is destined at no distant day to
rival both the Klondike and South Africa
as a gold-bearing region is now a fact
accepted by mining experts the world
over. The exhibits in~the Siberian sec
ton furnish sufficient proofs that the
Russian government is fully alive to this
fact and that it is encouraging both do
nestle and foreign capital to exploit the
rich auriferous regions of the Ussuri river
in Eastern Siberia.
After feasting his eyes on all these mar
vels of Russia's great Asiatic empire, en-
bracing races of vastly different types and
religious beliefs-as the Ostraks, Samo-
vedes, Esquimaux, Turcomen, Persians,
Chinese, and so forth, the visitor natural
ly turns his steps to the neighboring
building where the public is offered a trip
from Moscow to Pel1in in a modern we'll
appointed parlor car. 1t may not be the
real thing, but it is so very much like it

to a highly realistic imitation of genu-
inc trip. Ore station succeeds the other,
towns, villages, green fields, mountains

When the Chinese frontier is reached the
Russian conductor gets off and a China
man comes on board TO punch the tickets.
Then the train rolls on 90 Pekin, which
happens to be situated in the Chinese
building just behind the Russian pavilion,

Paris, May 7.--Visitors to the exposition
are not long in learning that Russia the
great ally of the French Republic, is con-
spicuous by her absence in the famous
street of nations that extends, from the
Pont des Invalides to the Pont de rAlma
But Russia has more than made up for
this by securing what is, perhaps, the
choicest location Of the entire exposition

the left wing of the Trocadero. There the
Russians have erected a vast palace and
stocked it with works of art, Industrial
exhibits and great variety of other in
tereeting things gathered from the four
corners of their mighty domain.
English speaking folk are accustomed
to dwell on Great Britain's far-reaching
possessions, upon which the sun never
sets, and on the great variety of semi-civ-
ilized and savage people who acknowl-
edge the sway of Her Gracious Majesty.

stalk within the portals of the Russian
