PARIS, May 4-Cardinal Richard. the
archbishop of Paris, to-day performed the
ceremony of the dedication Of the chapel
in the Rue Jean Goujon, erected to the
memory to the charity bazaar victims by
Count and Countess Castellane. The monu-
ment is architecturally fine piece of work
and its sculptural decorations are singu-
lary appropriate to the role of a COM
memorative chapel. A colossal statue of the
Mater Doloroso, with face upturned and
arms outstretched toward heaven, stands
on a marble and bronze altar. The edifice
was hung with sable trappings for the
days ceremony. Owing to the size of the
chapel only two Representatives of each
family which suffered by the disaster were
invited. The dedicatory service consisted
of a low requiem mass. There was no sing
ing. The cardinal recited de profundis and
finally blessed the chapel.

GREATEST ENGINEERING WORK.
Rich Resources VIII He Opened Up b.
the Transsiberfan Railroad.
Scientific American

In point of magnitude and cost the Trans
siberian Railroad is certainly the greatest
engineering work OF the age. According TO
figures furnished by the Russian imperial
ministry of ways of communication. the
total cost of the railway will be $500 coo. CO.,
of which about $295, 600. coo has been already
expended. II is considered that this lavish
outlay is justified by the fact that the
work, when completed, will make available
the resources of a country whose wealth
has never been told.
. According to the official statistics, Siberia
has a total area of $3.50. S33 square miles
1t is literally watered by some of the finest
rivers in the world. The total area of land
that is capable of agricultural development
is about 10000 square miles. and the soil of
these sections consists OF a deep layer of
black loan. A total of about 1880 acres
of land had already been colonized and
the government is now parceling out the
prairies through which the line runs, with
the confident expectation that Siberia will
become one of the most powerful COMPETE
tors in the worlds supply OF wheat For
