Russfa's Pioneers,

The Cossacks are the arms and legs
of Russia, while the moujik is the back
bone. The Cossacks won Siberia for
Russia when they were the daring
fringe of her population, grown adven-
turous and warlike by their frequent
conflicts with the Tartars who crowd
ed Russia's borders. In them is con-
centrated the enterprise and agrees
iveness which the moujik lacks.
They cut the path and the moujiks fol-
lowed, and the descendants of these
hardy pioneers live throughout Siberia
to-day, forming hereditary military
caste. So strict are the laws of heredi-
ty among the Cossacks that it is al
most impossible for an officer who was
not born one to obtain commission
in a Cossack regiment.-N Y. Sun.

Cuba to BE Reaurveyed.

In response to the frequent appeals
from navigators and captains of ports
and special request of Gen. Wood,
the United States navy department
will soon commence a complete geo
detical survey of the Cuban coast and
of the waters for radius of several
meters. AS an example of the utter
unreliability of the Spanish chart, the
Isle of Pines is seven miles out of the
course represented by it. There are
other errors equally surprising and
navigation near the coast is foolhardy
without competent pilot. 1t is
thought that it will require three
years to thoroughly resurvey the
Cuban coast and waters.-Chicago

CHAPTER ".

Away to the left of the little COM
mand tore the quarry and the chase.
Out on the rolling prairie, barely four
hundred yards from where the ambu-
lance and mules were backed into
tangle of traces and whifletrees and
fear-stricken creatures, another bufta-
10 had dropped in heap; a swarthy
rider had tumbled off his pony, cut
slash or two with ever-ready knife, and
then, throwing bead-bedizened left
leg over his eager little mount, had
gone lashing away after his fellows,
not without jeering slap at the halt
ed soldiery. Then, in almost less time
than it takes to tell it, the pursued and
pursuers had vanished from sight over
a low ridge mile to the north. "Only
a hunting party!" said one OF the
nervous recruits, with gulp OF re-
lief. "Only hunting party" gasped
Burleigh, as presently he heaved him
self up from the floor, land thought
I'd never find that damned gun OF
mine. All this fuss for nothing!" he
continued, his lips still blue and quiv-
ering. THAT green youngster up there
in front hasn't learned the first princi-
pies of plainscraft yet. Here, Brooks"
he added, loudly, "it's high time you
were looking after this sub Of yours"
and Brooks, despite his illness, was in
deed working out of the back door OF his
yellow trundIe bed at the moment, and
looking anxiously about. But the en-
gineer stood pale and quiet, coolly
studying the fustered GROWER, and
when Burleigh's shifting eyes sought
that young scientists face, what he
read there-and Burleigh was no fool
told him he would be wise to change
the tune. The aid had pushed him in
front of the troop and was signaling to
Dean, once more in saddle and scan
ming through his glass the big band
afar down the valley.

Automatic Air-Brake Controller.

Fred Emery, of Dickson avenue. one
of Scranton's mailcarrers. who recent
ly secured letters patent upon an auto
matte slate-picker. has devised an au-
tomato air brake controller for appli
cation upon passenger and freight
trains. 1t is a chain connection be-
tween the valves of the hose-link con
Meeting the cars. and by it's operation
there is no necessity for leaking the
pipes when the brakes are set by a
forcible disconnection of the r-brakf
valves. and no time is lost in getting
the train again in motion.
Mr.. Emery's application has already
been tested, and it's utility declared of
the utmost importance in the mechan-
ism of the steam air-brake. He will
take out letters patent on his improve
ment.

BRYAN WAS GREETED
BY MANY THOUSANDS
Madison Square Garden Filled
to Overlooking.
WAS GIVEN AN OVATION

State and National Party Leaders In
observation-disclosures Jones of Toledo
and the Vice Presidential Candidate
Were Conspicuous Figures.
NEW YORK, Oct 16.-One of the great
est demonstrations in the history of
American politics was held at Madison
Square Garden tonight.
The amphitheater. has seating ca
pacity Of 30, 900, but when Hon. W. j..
Bryan was introduced to his New York
audience it was estimated that there
were 10000 to 10000 people inside the
building, while vast multitude on the
outside clamored for admission.
All the state and party leaders of
prominence were. present with few ex-
captions, which shows that there is
unity Of purpose among New York DEM
ocrats.
Mr.. Bryan devoted himself to the
trusts and imperialism, touching upon
other minor issues.
His speech was entirely extemporane-
Gus, but he was never at a loss for words
or phrases. In fact, this was his master
effort of the entire campaign.
He assaulted the Republican campaign
and advanced unanswerable arguments
in support Of the Democratic party. At
the conclusion of his speech Mr.. Bryan
was greeted with an outburst Of applause
the like Of which was never given any
political candidate before. Several other
speakers were introduced, who made
strong appeals for the success of the
Democratic party, but all paled into Sig
nifcance beside the great grafton Of the
presidential candidate.
Among those on the stage were Mayor
Sam Jones of Toledo, who accompanied
Mr.. Bryan on the trip, and Vice Presl-
Dental Candidate Adlai e. Stevenson,
who came through this morning from
Camden, N J.
