A RAILWAY TO CHINA.
The Trans Sibsrian Road to Have Al
AlLEuglish RiVaI


One Of the great tasks of the new
century is the railroad Great Britain
is planning to build from Egypt to
the Yangtse. 1t is proposed that the
western point of departure shall be
either Alexandria or Port Said, and
that the route, following the parallel
of 80 degrees north latitude, shall
cross the Isthmus of Sinai and North
eTn Arabia, skirt the shores of the
Persian gulf, and pass through Balu-
chistan to KurTaehee in India. The
length of this section would be a
trife under 2,500 miles, and, except
at the head of the Persian gulf, would
present no physical obstacles that
could not be easily sMrmOnnted. Use
Of the Indian system, with a link to
be supplied here and there, would
bridge the distance between Kur.
rachee and Mandalay, whence the In
dian government is now building q
railroad to Kunlong. Careful sur
veys have developed a practicable
route from Kunlong to Yangtse at
Su-chow, and from that point line
could be easily extended to Shanghai.
Many-sided results will attend the
building of this line. Besides revelu-
tionAing the sea route and traffic
with Australia, it win provide rapid
and safe means Of transit between Eu-
rope, India and China, and will en-
able cheap and speedy exchange Of
products throughout the vast FeeiSn
lying between the Mediterranean and
the Pacific Finally, and this is the
argument most frequently urged by
Englshmen in its behalf, it will form
Englands natural response 10 ths
TFans-Sibsrian railway, and will COR
duee enormously to her power and
prestige in the east. Construction OF
this line is part of the declared policy
Of Great Britain in China, and con.
sentative advocates believe it will bt
built during the decade. - Tn,

A SHOEMAKER'S GIFT,
Philadelphia CObbler Presents Architects
with Rare Engraving

: Ri6haSo MeWilliams, a shoemaker
saDd poOrman by his own rating, has
presented rare picture to the collec-
lion in Independence ball. 1t is one
Of The four known copies Of the Krim-
mel engraving of Independence hall
An 1918, perhaps the rarest engraving
0j That building.
= THE very existence Of the engrav-
sDg, says the Philadelphia North
American, was unknown to the COM
mission which recently restored indie
pcnGtnce hall, until a small outline Of
IL was discovered in an old almanac.
The importance Of the picture TO the
srchiteots planning the restoration
was rGalized, and a widespread, thor
Ough search among collectors revealed
only three copies One copy was Dor
SUwed, and to it Architect Stacy
Reeves was indebted for many details
of the old statehouse which could
baVe been learned from no other
source
Thursday, at two o'clock, plain
" dressed man of so walked into the
office Of Superintendent S. S. Reeves
and surprised him by presenting a
richly framed copy of the much
songed-for engraving. The donor
was Richard McWilliaGs, of South
Seventh street.
~'I'm a shoemaker" said he, "and |
got this 20 years ago in payment for
n pair Of boots. didn't attach much
Importance to it, though, for nearly
90 years it lay rolled up. Tread in the
papers that after much search copy
of the lost Krimmel had been found
and borrowed for the use Of the archi,

cided to present il 10 the statehoust

MAMso.s BEAYRR KAF.


He Beilow Tnbesmen.
Evidently the legitimate successor
OF the famous Baron Munehausen IL
an African named Msmbo, who is
known among his countrymen as the
greatest living traveller, and who is
really a remarkable character.
He was born near the Victoria Ny
ANA, and all his life he has spent in
rowing from place to place. A few
years ago he found himself in Zanzi-
bar, and there i'll luck befell him, for
he was sold as a slave, and not until
quite recently did he regain his free
dom and return to his native place.
Round him gathered his kindred and
friends, and wonderful indeed were
the stories of adventures which he
then related to them. So incredible,
indeed, were some Of them that more
than one old chieftain unhesitatingly
pronounced them to be lies, where
upon the unabashed Mambo an
nounced that he could not prove
them to be true, but that he could
show them something which would
convince even the most skeptical that
during his travels he had seen many
strange sights.
While they were still wondering at
his words, says the New York Herald,
he opened small bundle and took
out Of it what looked like a small strip
of beaver, but which, after manipula-
ton, was transformed into an abnor-
mally high, wide trimmed and glossy
silk hat.
There said Mambo, proudly, els
a wonderful thing, which was given
to me by an admiral, whose home is
thousands of leagues away, as a slight
reward for some great services which
| rendered to him. This black thing
can work miracles, and to prove that
it is genuine, ] need only to show you
the admiral's gold seal, which is
stamped inside of it,"
As he spoke he took out the tat
tered lining and showed these words
in faded gilt letters: Made in Paris.

FNR IKE BLOOD. uNER. LUNGS.

Experience has shown to physicians
that the majority of diseases have their
origin in the arrangement or disease of
the stomach and other organs of diges-
ton and nutrition. The stomach is the
receptacle in which food is received and
the laboratory in which it Is prepared to
nourish the different parts Of the body.
II prepares brain rourishment in one
way, nerve nourishment in another,
muscle nourishment in another When
the stomach is Tout of order" these
various forms Of nourishment are only
partly or imperfectly prepared, and
nerve, muscle, or brain, as the case
may be, is only partly fed, and the result
is pain, which is Natures protest and
warning. The pain may be in the head
or in the heart, but you must reach it
through the stomach or you can't cure
it. That is the philosophy on which DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is
prepared. 1t has absolute control of
the stomach and digestive and nutritive
system. II cures diseases in head, heart,
liver lungs and other organs by curing
the diseased condition of the stomach
which prevents the proper nourishment
of the various organs and corrupts them
by its own diseased condition, in the
partial nourishment it provides. In like
manner Golden Medical Discovery"
purihes the blood by purifying the
stomach and other blood-making organs.
It contains no alco-
hol, or other intoxi-
cant, and no narcotic.
