FAMOUS CONVICT SHIP
"rhe Chamber of Horrors" Which Was
 Built Hundred Years Ago.


 Built Hundred Years Ago.
 One of the curiosities in England at present is the old convict ship Success, which has recently been converted into museum, or into what foreign jour nalist style "a chamber of horrors" She was built 1t0 years ago, and her first years were spent in cruising be- tween the East Indies and England. In 1929 the British admiralty bought and statianed her in the waters of western Australia. Capt. Stirling was then in command, and from his Scottish birth place the town of Perth in Australia takes it's name. From 1847 to 1851 the Success piled between London and East Adelaide. On her last trip she had on board several hundred immi- grants who intended to seek tneir for tunes in the newly discovered gold fields. During the voyage the captain, the other officers, and the entire crew became seized with the same gold fever and the result was that when land was reached they, too, left the ship and NGll O4l u 9CGA liCtl IOl bdh9cs ho Success was next used to transport criminals of the deepest dye to Van Diemens Land, as Tasmania was then called, and she also served as floating prison for especially dangerous crim- inals. The vessel then became popu- larly know mas "The Hell of the Ocean" title which was evidently we'll deserved Old records show that some awful scenes took place on her. The prisoners cells were in two tiers under the deck, and were so small that inmates could hardly move in them. Moreover, they were so fashioned that they could be made light or dark, and the most insubordinate prisoners were always placed in the latter These curious cells, many of the old instru- ments of torture and number of wax figures representing famous criminals are now being exhibited on the Suc- cess, and are attracting a crowd of sightseers. The old ship is at present in Leith Har5or, in Seotland.-New York Herald.

auarding the rrans-slberiau Railroad.

Guarding the Trans-Siberian Railroad.
 The Trans-Siberian railroad is very closely guarded, the management feel ing personally responsible for the peo- pie they carry on their trains. The road is divided into sections of one verst, or fiye-eighths of a mile. In a neat little log house. usually in gar den, live the guard and his people. The average family is a wife and five tow headed children. The houses were built by the company and evidently with a view to meeting the demands of increasing families. The guard or member of his family must patrol his section night and day. He steps to the side of the track as the train ap- breaches and after It has passed steps back into the middle of the track. holds a small green flag i'll the air, at night lantern, and stands like statue until the train has entered the next section. Severa! guards do duty in the heavy curves and frequently they are only few hundred feet apart. Much of the track patroling is done by women, who have proved fully as re- liable as the men. The women are nearly always barefooted, and as they stand on the track holding the flag aloft, a Siberian breeze toying with their short skirts, they are fine sub- ieets for q sculptor after unique modeI

The Silk Industry.

The silk industry has had remark able development in the United States in recent years. In the annual review of the business by the secretary of the Silk association it is known that there are silk factories now in 230 towns ir 19 different states, the number of es- tablishments being 750. New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut lead in the manufacture of silk fabrics. Peters, burg, Va, has been running silk mills for some years. We have not aecli- mated the silkworm, but import the reeled yarn from other countries. In 1899 we imported 73,667 bales, worth $41, ,195. .2O9, the average price per pound being s4.15.
