The Berlin Tageblatt recently print
ed a dispatch from ST. Petersburg set
ting forth that Russia has planned two
railway lines through Persia. The first
will run southwark from Merry, IN Tur-
kestan, station on the liue Of the
Transcaspian road. An extension from
Merry has already been built to Kushk,
$50 miles south. and across the border
OF Afghanistan. This Is being nd-
vanced to Herat, capital OF Afghanis-
tan, and concessions have been secured
from the Persian government for an ex-
tension southwest to the Persian Gulf.
The second project is for line run
ming southeast from the Caucasus to
Erlvan and thence TO Teheran and Is
pahan. The enterprise Of Russia In
pushing forward these lines ~ not in
splred simply by commercial consider
ntlons. The main object is to have an
Independent military route to the In
dian Ocean, and these lines once CON
structed II win be able to push troops
rapidly forward from the Black and
Caspian Seas. with the completion OF
the great Transsiberian line Russia In
the future is likely to become the domi-
mating power In Asia.

Ever since the framing OF the Consti
tuition the question has, from time to
time, required as to the value to the
country Of the Office OF Vice President.
For periods aggregatlng thirty years
OF cur national life the Vice Presidency
has been vacant without affecting the
efficiency OF the executive arm AT
first the position was treated with espe-
cial reference to its providing sue
cessor to the President In case OF need.
Vice Presidents were chosen In view OF
that contingency. They were younger
than the Presidential candidate, and
every whit as important rs he. But for
at least a quarter century back this
policy has been completely changed.
Nomination TO the office of Vice Presi-
dent became a means OF placatlng a
dlsgruntled faction Of the party, or Of
recognizing some locality important in
national affairs. In this way 1t can cas-
fly happen that the President would be
succeeded by an inferior man and a
man holding opinions quite different
from his own. On the other hand, with
out Vice President and with the law.
which places the line OF succession In
the Cabinet. the heir to the Presidency
would be sure to be OF the Presidents
mind, because he would be the Presi-
dents nominee. The Cabinet Is an eX-
tension Of the Presidents personality,
and the passage of the executive power
to the Secretary Of State might be ex-
pected to be OF the smoothest. The
Vice Presidents only real use lies in his
making presiding officer for the Sen.
ate. When member of the Senate Is
elevated to the chair his consequent
loss of power for other than a casting
vote virtually deprives his State Of one

two men at once unloaded barrels Of
bread and carried them into the stable.
The bread looked good and was good.
There were all sorts and sizes of loaves'
in the barrels-"home-made," rye,
Vienna, potato" graham and cot
tage."
The curiosity of a man who saw the
bread being delivered to the stable was
aroused and he ventured to ask the
proprietor of the stable what 1t ment.
There's nothing remarkable about
it," said the proprietor, with a laugh.
II simply buy it for horse feed. We
grind the bread up and mix it with
other feed and it makes first-class foou
for horses. 1t is stale bread and costs
us 40 cents a barrel and there are nifty

It comes pretty cheap. Some or the
bread is only day old and is GOOD
enough for any man to eat, but the
bread factories cannot sell it. WHAT
Won see here are returned loaves from

War Through Kinetosoope.

Photographic views OF actual war
scenes are Of great value to the kineto-
scope people and strenuous efforts are
made to secure them. Artists run great
risks IN their quest. A number Of
bona fide battle pictures were secured
by one daring operator during the San
tiago campaign, but just as he was
leaving the field he was shot through
the shoulder. When the soldiers car
ried him Off he lntrusted his precious
packet OF films to Cuban boy, with
instructions to mail them at Siboney.
The boy ran into some heavy firing on
the way back and took refuge with
four natives in an old sugar shed. AT
the next moment the Spaniards drop
ped a shell through the roof and blew
the shed, boy, films and natives into
thousand fragments. The pictures
were absolutely unique and would have
created a sensation.-San Francisco Ar
