: II the winters are long in Siberia,
and very cold, on the other hand, the
summers are extremely warm and dry.
The small streams Of water dry up dur
ing this season. and agriculture suffers
much from this state of things. To
remedy the evil. the inhabitants OF
certain districts in winter collect the
snow and accumulate it at the bottom
Of some narrow valley. They press 1t
and make it compact so that 1t will be
more resistant to thawing. At the end
of the winter they cover the enormous
piles which they have thus formed
with branches, straw or earth, In order
to protect the snow against the rays
Of the sun and the exterior heat. Then,
when after long days without rain
the water Of the streams begin to dry
up, the snow, in spite of its covering,
commences to melt, and by means of a
ditch made for this purpose, the water
which runs down supplies the river un-
til the return Of winter.

There Is pretty general impression
that the work undertaken by the spy
is invariably disgraceful work, and
that the professional military secret

ed creature-degraded, that is, for the
time being. by the very nature Of the
mission he undertakes OF course.
nothing could be further from the
truth. There are spies and spies. The

dertakes to pry into and betray the
secrets Of his friends. stands upon an
entirely different footing from the ON
Ger who. taking his life in his hands,
ventures into the enemy's camp In or
der to gratuitously to obtain informa-
ton which may turn out to be Of infin-
lite value to his own intelligence de-
partment. Lord Kitchener was a spy
OF this latter sort, and 1t was his clev-
erness, energy and resourcefulness In
this capacity which first attracted to
him the notice OF his superiors. Alone
and unarmed he plunged into the re-
volted Soudan In the autumn of 1882
and succeeded in penetrating, disguised
as a peddler Of hurra cakes. as far az
Omdurman itself. Here he saw a fell
low spy stripped naked. logged till the
flesh hung in ribbons from his body,
and then crucifed face downward in
the blazing sun. Ever afterward, In
his wanderings among the wild desert
tribes, Kitchener carried with him q
tiny phial Of cyanide Of potassium. Az

but such DEATH"

Study Of Arctic Currents by Aid a
Drifting Caska
Plan Of Rear Admiral Melville ADOPT
ID b the Geographical Soo1osy
Of Philadelphia At Last
Years Meeting.

The Geographical society of Phila-
delphia expects to continue this year
the work of setting wooden casks
adrift on the ice north of this CONT
nent to demonstrate, if possible. the
currents of Arctic waters north of
Behring strait. The project was sug-
gested by Admiral Melville and this
society began to carry it out last year.
Mr.. Henry &. Bryant, president OF the
society, has a paper in its bulletin
telling of the preliminary work.
1t was Melville's idea that if oaken
casks were set afoat on the ice in the
waters north of Alaska they would
come out in the course of four or five
years somewhere between Spitzbergen
and Greenland and thus demonstrate
the correctness of the theory of the
northeast drift of those waters, al
ready fortified by the experience Of
the Jeanette and ram expeditions.
The society had a considerable num-
Der of heavy oaken caskets made, in
each of which a bottle was placed
containing a blank form on which the
finder is to record the date and local
Ity where the cask is recovered and
return the paper to Philadelphia, The
casks were to be placed on heavy flow
ice, for if launched in the open sea
they were too much at the mercy of
winds and waves. while if deposited on
heavy ice they would probably be car
ried on the more correct drift. Meth
or were they to be placed on the ice
adjacent to the Point Barrow district
in Alaska, where purely local currents,
running east and west, exist.
Last summer the United States rev.
enue cutter Bear carried 20 casks
north and others were distributed
among the steam whaling companies
having vessels in that region. Most
of the casks, it was expected. would
be put adrift during August and Sep
,elnber last The intention to repeat
the experiment On the same scale this
year will. it is thought, enhance the
probability of definite results. Rear
Admiral Melville firmly believes that
the fugitive casks will justify the
hopes with which the society has un--
dcrtaken this experiment. There is
no Doubt" he says, that the casks
will come out somewhere. Siberian
driftwot,d has beeen found on the
northeastern shores of Bennett island,
on the northeast point Of Novaia Zem-

Interesting Information Of St. Helena
There is some interesting information
on st. Helena In an article which
the governor of that colony, Mr.. Stern
dale, has contributed to the current
number Of the "Asiatic Quarterly Re-
view" The tenacity Of official tradi
ton is illustrated by the fact that even
now, nearly eight years after the death
of the great Napoleon, he must never
be referred to as Emperor This is q
survival of the strict rule of Napoleon's
gaoler, Sir Hudson Lowe. Once, in d
dispatch to the Colonial Office, Mr..
Sterndale did style Napoleon Emperor,
and his attention was drawn to the in
advertence by an official. The house
in which Mr.. Sterndale wrote his ar
ticle contained number of relics Of
the captive Emperor, including Ma
poleon's bookcase and cabinet.

AN AMUSING CANE
One IN which the Old a. Well ~
the Young Nay Find Ea-
jOymsAt.

Hostesses Of house parties, and moth
ers expecting their boys and girls home
for the holidays, are often glad to hear
of new game. or of an old one re-
vived.
A game in which old and young and
almost any number can join is the
bird fancier. A cage Of chairs must
be made and arranged in the middle Of
the room: then 4 number OF pieces
of paper are cut. as many pieces as
there are players. On half the number
the name of bird is written--canary,
thrush, robin, and so On. These pieces
are then folded and put on plate and
passed around to the players. Those
who draw bird must walk into the
cage, and those who draw blanks re-
main in their seats.
A merchant is then chosen, or bird
fancier. who stands in the center of
the cage, and the birds, from that mo-
ment, must never take their eyes from
him. If bird is discovered to be look
ing away, he is instantly commanded
to pay forfeit.
The other players walk around and
round the cage, doing all in their pow
er to divert the attention of the birds
by talking TO them. calling them by
name. Then the merchant cries out:
II have a-good many fine birds here :
plump partridge, Eighty canary, a
sulky bullfinch." and so on. "Who will
buy?'
A player standing outside the cage
cries: II will; describe your birds. !"
The bird fancier then calls the birds
by name, and tells of their good quail
ties. The fun is in the witty and anus
ing descriptions given by the merchant.
When the purchaser chooses bird, he
or she is at once released from the
cage. All the birds not chosen pay a
forfeit 10 the merchant, but the mer-
chant is forced to pay the birds who
have been sold forfeit.--Golden Days.

incorporated companies form part

While at Fergus r alls recently, Con
gresham Eddy gave out an interview
in which he said regarding forthcom-
ing reapportionment of members Of
congress:
II have only one thing special that

to make fight to haye the next con-
gress apportioned on vote and not on
population, If the sonthsis going to

This view is manifestly right. The
constitution says that representation
in congress shall be proportioned to
the number of voters, but heretofore
the proportion between the voting
population and the population in the
different states has been the same,
and the law has been Of no practical
significance. But recently some of
the southern states have disfran
chised the illiterates Of their popula-
ton, and the time has come for the
plain mendate of the constitution to
be put into effect. The disfranchis-

doubt regarded as benefit by the

willing to manfully pay the price with
