SIBERIA'S PROGRESS.
That Wonderful Region Has Now a
Population of 100000.

Population of 100000.
The population of Siberia is now 81
100000 and yearly 100000 farmers mi
providing them with free transporta-
ton and giving to each family the use
of 37h acres of land for stated
time. Making a computation upon the
basis of the population Of Russia in
Europe, Siberia is capable of sustain
ing a population of s0,0OO,0O0. The
annual production of cereals in Siberia
is 100000 tons, 100000 to 100000 tons
of which are exported. The country
can produce 100000 tons annually,
from 1000, 900 to 100000 tons of which
are subject to expectation. Siberia
now exports butter to Denmark. 1t is
estimated that she can export annual
ly s15,440.000 worth of butter, wool,
leather, dried and preserved meats, and
fish and tallow may figure conspicuous
ly in her exports in the near future.
A movement is now in progress in
the direction of forest preservation.

city of furs, blue fox and zibelines.
Siberia produces one-tenth Of the
worlds yield OF gold and but few OF
the mines have ben worked on account
of the climate. The immense coal de-
posits have hardly been touched. One
mine, with six beds, contains as much
coal as all the deposits in England.
The lack of transportation facilities
alone has prevented it from being
worked.
There is annually an excess Of 1900,
900 births over deaths in Russia and
Siberia is the outlet for this over
flow.

Italy Imports Coal.

1t is well known that Italy has,
with the exception of low class coal
fields in Elba, no coal production, but
is obliged to import all the coal for
railroads and factories from Germany
and England. The duty on coal in
Italy is also so high that it is almost
impossible to import it. Now comes
the news that French engineers have
just discovered valuable anthracite
coal fields in Piedmont and Liguria.
The discovery is all the more import
ant, because the Italian navy in case
OF war would be entirely dependent on
foreign countries for coal.-E. H. L.
Mummenhoff, in Chicago Record.

MARCH NOT FOR THEM.
But the Newly Married Couple Thought
Their Secret Was Out.

But the Newly Married Couple Thought
Their Secret Was Out.
Bardsley hated pomp and fuss of ev-
cry sort connected with the marriage
ceremony and his fiancee disliked what
he did, and they were well pleased
with their plan of eluding the vigil
lance of their friends by marrying
without notice and going off to little
country town where they knew no one
and no one knew them, says the New
York Press. The day after their ar
rival being Sunday, they went to
church, appearing, they fondly be-
lieved, like staid, longwedded folk.
But as soon as the benediction was
pronounced they were startled by
hearing the jubilant strains of the
Wedding March" The owner of the
pew in which they sat, noticing their
surprise explained, with what they in
terpreted as a significant look, that the
organist always played the Wedding
March when there was bridal couple
in church, and there is today" he add
ed. Their self-consciousness betrayed
the Bardsleys into asking. But how
did he know" and then it came out
that the performance had been not for
their benefit, but for that of the son Of
a pillar of the church and his bride.
"At any rate, it's most absurd GUS
tom," growled the bridegroom, who
had sought to hide his torch under a
bushel and had failed, just as ordinary
bridegrooms do.

Vallejo was for a short period the
capital of the state of California. The
Legislature met there January 5, 1852,

Modern Xmnilrafion.

During the fiscal year which ended
on June 80 last S41,7 foreigners en-
tered this country through the port Of
New York. Probably the total immi-
grafton for the year will not fall far
short of $4,000. The noteworthy and
not altogether agreeable difference be-
tween the immigration of 1900 and
that of .-.irty years ago is that now
most of the newcomers are from
southern and eastern Europe, while
they used to be from western and
northern Europe.

The A rmor Plate Contracts.

The navy department has just adver-
tised again for bids on the entire
amount of over $4,000 tons of armor
plate for the new battleships and
cruisers authorized by the last two
sessions of Congress. 1t has acted
wisely in so doing. Hitherto two firms
have monopolized the armor plate
business, but the recent bids have
brought out a third, the Midvale com.

Question of Insurance.


Having examined the title of prop
erty, your next question is about in
surance. You would not be silly
enough to buy large warehouse that
could not possibly be insured. You
would not have anything to do with
such a property. Now, ask you what
assurance can you give me that this
world is not going to be burned up?
Absolutely none. Biologists tell rs
that it is already on fire; that the
heart of the world is one great living
coal; that it is just like a ship on fire
at sea, the flames not bursting out be-
cause the matches are kept down. And
yet you propose to palm off on me, in
return for my soul, world for which
In the first place, you give no title, and
in the second place. for which you can
give no insurance. oh" you say,

oh, no. There are inflammable ele-
ments in the water, hydrogen and oxy-
gen. Call OFF the hydrogen, and then
