quarter of the world Such critics as Matthew Arnold and George Meredith were each carried away by its power, the latter giving as his opinion that the beautiful, erring Anna was the most perfectly depicted character in all ic- tion. With this tale and "The Cos sacks" ended the second period in Count Tolstoi's life.
 The third period of Tolstoi'slife, the period in which he is living at toe pres ent time, shows an entirely ne " side of this interesting man. Such fame as he had acquired by his ventures was not pleasing to him, and he deliberately turned his back upon all of it, and en- tered a new field. He began tie work ing out of life problems and evolving a higher and religious and moral phil osophy. This is the Count ToIstoi of the last period, man whose writings preach an unyarying text, who lives life of studied simplicity, and t D whose residence people make pilgrimages in order that they may see him making boots, for one of the tenets of hi: new faith is that everyone should support himself by simple trade.
 It is the events of this third period of his life that have brought 10 Count Tolstoi degradation by the govern ment of his own country, Jexcommuni- cation by his church and possibly ban ishment from his native land, and these at time when he is we'll past the allotted threescore and ten years al- lotted to the life of man.
 Count Tolstoi is the father of nine children, and was until recently the possessor of great fortune, but this he has made over entirely to his wife and family, and now earns his meager living at the trade of shoemaker

A NATURAL TUNNEL.
jected Railroad and Was Not Sought as a Curiosity.

It is not usual for the railroad com structor to find tunnels already built for him, but an interesting exception was experienced in the location of the
 Virginia & Southwestern railway. Ac- cording to the Railway and Engineer ing Review, a point 32 miles south of Big Stone Gap, Va, on the line between that point and Bristol, Tenn, the road
 runs for distance of s15 feet through natural cave, in which it was neces- sary to blast for q distance of only 60 feet in order to secure desirable
 alignment for the track. The engi- neers declare that the route was mat ter of natural selection" the tunnel being directly in the line of the pro-

of his sozl. His burial in consecrated soil is also prohibited.
 It is not expected that Count Tolstoi will resent this action of the church in any way In fact, strict interpre- fation of the doctrine which he has so ardently preached, that of noninter- ference, would not permit of his doing so. But the effect the action of the church has had upon the Russian peo- pie could scarcely have been antici- pated. Hundreds of admirers of the count, who, instead of being frightened into silence by the radical measures taken by the church, have boldly asked that they might share like fate, and be relieved of any obligations to the church.
 Count Tolstoi has long been thorn in the side of the Russian .aristocracy. What they class as his eccentricities would long ago have landed him in se- rious difficulties had he not himself been of the Russian nobility, though never in sympathy with it's teachings and practices. He has been strange man in strange land. A scholar who has given to Russia prominent place in the literature of the world, and who stands out prominently as the great est of that great trio of Russian writ CTS, the other two of which are Fedor Dostoievsky and Ivan Turguenef.
 This man who has been placed out side the ban of the established church of his native land, whose portrait has been torn from the walls of Russian universities by order of the imperial government, and who, rumor now says. has been banished from the country of his birth, is a descendant of Count Pe- ter Tolstoi, who figures prominently in history as the trusted friend of Peter the Great. He was born in Yasnaia Poliana, in the government of Toula, August 2s, 1928. He was educated after the manner of Russian nob.es, first by private tutors and afterwards at the old Russian school, Kazan university.
 From the day on which he left the university down to the present time European writer divides his life into three distinct parts. The first of these is described as of but brief duration, and began at the age of 23, when he en- tered the commissioned ranks of the

Russian army and accompanied his brother to the Caucasus. Two years later, on the outbreak of the Crimean war, he was called to Sebastopol, where he was actively engaged. He had the command of mountain battery, and he assisted in the defense of the cita- del.
 The second of the three periods of his life is described as beginning at the close of the Crimean war when he re- signed from the army and began to de- vote himself to literature. This began in 1856, and it was not until four years later that his first book appeared. Though Count Tolstoi did not write many books in this first part of his lit erary career two masterpieces stand out in bold relief. These are "War and Peace,'' published in 1860, in which he turned to account in marvellous man. ner his observations and experiences of actual warfare gained during the Crimean struggle, and Anna Kare- nina,' study of Russian social life. ssWar and Peace" is acually tale of the invasion of Russia by Napoleon in 1S12 A,stupendous work, crammed with detail, the wonderful and terrible pictures which it gives of that disas- trous campaign have probably never been surpassed. If Tolstoi had written nothing else this work alone would have stamped him as master, though as a story-that is to say, considered as an artistic whole-it must yield sec ond place to stAnna Karenina," which appeared in 1876.

 The mystery has been explained in this way--as matter of fact. the top of the wheel does actually move faster than the bottom, that is, in res lation to the ground. The bottom half of the wheel has only a vertical motion, while the top has g rapid horizontal motion. much faster than the hub or the wagon. With a time exposure, therefore, the bottom spokes show clear, while those above the center are blurred.

NOUNT LYOF NIKOLAIYITCH 1,TOLSTOI, the famous Russian
 writer of religious and social fc- ton, has been noted character in many ways during the past quarter of to end his days outside the fold of the church of his native land, and stamped as heretic.
 During the past three months Count Tolstoi has attracted unusual atten- tion in all portions of the civilized world For the past few years he has dropped much of that style of litera- ture that made his earlier books fa- nous, and has taken to writing ser mons, in story form, upon the one text: Resist Not Evil" His continued preaching of doctrine of noninterfer- ence, and his appeals for an orthodox religion founded solely on the teach ings of the life of the Master, has at last reused the ire of the officials of the Orthodox Russian, or Greek, church, and he has been communicated. In the decree which debars him from all spiritual privileges of the established Church of Russia it is stated that his teachings are not only anti-ecclesias- tical, but anti-C Christian as we'll. Those outside of the teachings of the Russian church who have read his later works will scarcely agree with the church officials in their Interpretation of what is anti-Christian:
 The decree forbids all bishops and priests of the church to offciate in any way at the counts obsequies when he dies, or to sing masses for the repose

 Shortly to Atteud the Inaagarstion.

Next week Lucky Mark Lulley will start for Washington (his home) with the little bears, "Lulley" and "Lind- say," captured by Mark and MT. l.. Lindsay, when they were in the Santa Rita mountains last summer. Then they were little larger than kittens; now they are more than half grown, but as playful and cute as when first caught.
 With the bears Mark will partici- pate in the inaugural parade, in which he has already been assigned position by the grand marshal; and after the parade he will consign them to the "Zoo," as the geological park of the Smithsonian institute is familiar ly known Mark having donated the little fellows to that institution and the donation is accepted
 Their appearance in the parade and the cost of sending the bears and Mark to Washington-result from an election bet made last fall between Collector of Customs Wm. M. Hoey of Nogales, and Hon. Thos. Taggart, of Indianapolis, chairman of the dem- ocratic state committee of Indiana. The loser, MT. Taggart, defraying all expense.
 In Washington Mark will tread his native heath, as the national capital is his birth place, the family being widely known. His father, Major Charles Lulley, a Hungarian exile who came to America with Kossuth, after the collapse of the revolution of IS4S, and became an American citizen. He was widely known among men in pub- lie life generation ago, and was greatly respected
 After his mission to Washington is finished Mark will return to Arizona, to resume his active operations in development and promotion of the rich mineral resources in the Santa Rita mountains.
