AN UNKNOWN
REPUBLIC FOUND

According to a report made by the
war office the Russian troops made
the discovery of regularly formed re-
public in Manchuria, which has been
in existence for upward of half CEN
fury, but was probably unknown to
any of the European powers, or, for
that matter, to the majority Of the
European travellers in the far east. The
Mancuhrian republic is situated in the
basin of the upper reaches of the Riv-
er Sungari, and south of Grin. 1t is
known by the name of Tcha-Pi-Gou,
and numbered originally 10000 citi-
zens; the population is now about 100,-
600 souls. In the beginning the mini
allure republic was governed by a tri-
umvirate, and subsequently by presi-
dent, Chan Yui Pao, who took all the
executive powers into his own hands
and organized tribunals, trade guilds,
taxes, ETC., and regulated native indus
tries and gold mining. A small re-
publican army was created, and has
been permanently maintained. In the
battle fought by the Russians in the
valley of the Sungari some two months
ago the republican force offered
more determined opposition than the
imperial Chinese troops. The Chinese
authorities in the province of Grin
have since its foundation always shown
a friendly federation toward the Man
churian republic of Tcha-Pi-Gou.

The career of the Nelson contains no
exhilarating record of naval battles
and the lowering of enemies colors.
In the sixties she was lent to the
government of Victoria by the imperi-
al authorities to aid scheme of local
naval defense, and for many years she
was the headquarters of the colonial
naval forces. Later on, when the YES
sci became utterly obsolete, Victoria,
having no further use for her, inform
ed the admiralty that she was at its
disposal, and the latter ordered her to
be sold to the highest bidder.
She was sold at auction in Mel
bourne and knocked down to. the agent
of Sydney buyer for $4,000. While
the sale was in progress a peripatetic
German band, whose conductor APP
pears to have possessed a grim sense
of humor, put up the music stands in
front of the building and played Rule
Britannia and 1.-The Death of Nell
son."
Once upon a time she was the larg-
est ship af1oat, and many experts nova
days regard her as the best wooden
vessel ever built. Many new and i'm
proved principles of construction were
introduced into the building, making
for increased stability and strength.
The forests of four continents were
levied upon for her construction, the
timbers used being English oak, Indian
teak, African oak and American green
heart. The value of the metal in her
was demonstrated by the fact that
some of her copper bolts were as much
as ten feet in length, and were sold
at prices varying from $25 to SGT
apiece.
Her armament consisted of 121
guns. Her register was 2,617 tons.

Seventeen fishing boats, one of which

village of Carracross, on the west coast
of Ireland. The only building in the
place which is not constructed of an
old boat is the priests house, and this
is built almost entirely of the drift
wood which the gulf stream piles upon
the rock coast. There is not a tree
of sufficient size to give building tim
Der within eight miles of Carracross;
