encourage emigration to that colony,
has made remarkably low rates. For

point to any city in Siberia the fare

it is no longer secret, for the young

Geysers' Antipa4hy For Soar.


Some years ago an unfortunate dis
covery for time menaced the tran
quillity and almost the existence of
some of the geysers in Yellowstone
park. The story goes that an adVen-
turous Chinaman once essayed to use
the bowl Of one Of the geysers for the
purpose Of washing clothes, the tenn
perature Of the water appealing to his
oriental mind. Everything went well
until he began to use soap, when sud-
denly violent eruption seized the ap-
parently innocent geyser, hurting
clothes and all into the air. The ex-
pertinent was tried on other geysers
with similar results, and for time 1t
was considered a great blessing, as
when large tourist parties arrived 1t
was a great convenience to bring on a
special display by "soaping the gey-
SER" as it was called, while before the
advent of the Chinaman and his soap
some of the most beautiful geysers Of
ten remained stubbornly inactive for
days and often weeks and months.
After a time, however, it was discov-
cred that this soaping was slowly but
surely harming the geyser action, "tir-
ing them out" In fact, and thereupon
the government put stop to the use
Of soap in the park in connection with
the geysers.

the chinese Flee From Rain.


1t is one of the peculiarities Of the
Chinese to carefully avoid being
caught In the rain. The chief reason
for this Is that they have superstk
ton that drops of rain falling on the
hair breed vermin, which, with thetR
very long hair, is very difficult foE
them to get rid Of. They are, however,
equally careful not to wet their feet
Their care Of their feet is not alto
gether due to the fact that the soleQ
of their shoes are made Of pasteboara
and liable to be injured by soaking
but also because they believe that sore
feet are brought about by getting the1p
damp.
This fear of the Chinese Of rain
storms has had peculiar effect on
their mobs and armies. At the time

foreigners to death. The cathedral be-
hind them was in flames, and the mob,
fresh from the torture Of nuns, was
hungry for blood. 1t started down
