Union Pacific, Northern Pacific and
Southern Pacific roads had been built
and put In operation, developing our
great West and populating 1t in COM
paratively short time, the Russians con-
GUIDED that they could follow the Amer
lean example with like success.
In 1894 there were 10000 men at
work on this great undertaking, which
was estimated to cost $3.50, 100000. The
world began to realize that way of In
Siberia the most gigantic railroad en-
terprise had its theater, and that Rus

900 miles long, and It was crossing a

found ready belief. To the world at
large Siberia was land Of Ice and
snow, and banished nihilists, but the
Siberian railroad promised to develop
new markets for German as well as
Russian goods, and 1t also promised an
outlet for the greatest wheat field In the
world. People in every country began
to take q new interest In Siberia.
Opening Up Siberia.
The road was built rapidly, and as
the western division was pushed into
the interior Of Siberia 1t made travel
easier, and the country became better
known. Not only Russians, but other
people, realized the future possibilities
Of Siberia. 1t resembled our great

herds and nocks, and, what was more
surprising, immense tracts Of wheat

was opened to Irkutsk. on Lake Baikal,

from st. Petersburg to that point regu-

Russia's Manchoorian branch OF the
Siberian railway has been practically
completed, says United States Consul
Smith at Moscow. This indicates that
Russia has not allowed the Boxer up
rising seriously to retard the work OF
constructing her railroad through chi
nese territory to the ice-free port at
Port Arthur, and 1t also indicates that
the longest railroad In the world Is
nearing completion to provide an all
rail route from Europe 10 the Orient.
This work has been going forward FOR
ten years undeg the direct control OF the
Russian government. and while 1t has
met many apparently insurinountable
difficulties the resources Of the Cars
government have been equal to over
coming them.
Ten years ago, while the rest OF the
world was reading about Siberia as a
penal colony to which were banished
the nihilists, the Gar of Russia was be-
ginning tho construction of the great

How Hunger Is AnaIyzed.

We feel hungry when the blood YES
sells of the stomach are comparatively
empty. When food is taken and diges-
ton begins there is rush of blood to
the stomach and the hunger Is appeas-
ed. Many anemlc patients have no ap-
petite even when the stomach Is emp
ty. but the blood vessels of the stomach
are not empty In such cases, but rather
congested. In healthy people lack of
blood In the stomach acts upon a spe-
cial nerve and all the characteristic
symptoms of hunger follow. Now, this
hunger nerve and the nerves of the
mouth and tongue are branches of the
same nerve trunk. Hence stimulus
applied to the tongue by a spice for ex-
ample, creates or increases appetite. On
the other hand, when the nerves OF the
tongue are affected by a diseased con
dition of the mucous membrane Of the
mouth, the patient has no appetite,
though his stomach may be empty and
he may be In actual need Of food.
