one third of the mem bers of the house

two full terms, aud those who have

almost be counted on the fingers of
one baud.
The ordinary congressman comes

him, except on the salary vouchers
The man who stays in the house for
more than two terms. has fair chance
of welding n little iufiuemce. He gets
his name into the crngressi iOnal record
once in awhile; he is recognized 10y the
speaker occasionally; and if he is un-
usually lucky. the newspapers take
him up and sometimes give him head

There are l34 mem berS of the pres

term or better. OF these 25. AT gen

their names might carry some mean
ing outside their own state.

Eussias Manchoorian branch of the

completed, says United States Consul
Smith at Moscow. This indicates that
Russia has not allowed the Boxer up
rising seriously to retard the work or
constructing her railroad through Chi
nese territory to the ice-free port ut
Port Arthur, and it also indicates that
the longest railroad in the world Is
nearing completion to provide an all
rail route from Europe TO the Orient.
This work has been going forward for
ten years under 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 We're banished
the nihilists. the Car Of Russia was be-
ginning tic construction of the great

was in Nladivostok, and drove the first
spike in the road begun from the east
ern coast, which was to be built west
to join with the road under construction
from the Ural mountains east through
Southern Siberia.
The subject of the building of rail-
road across Siberia had been under

for many years. but 1t did not take
definite shape until the success of the
transcontnental roads in the United

sTRAN0EST OF ALL FISH.

Denied o: the Ec.p that Angles for
the Food 1t Devour'.
Most remarkable Of strange fishes Is
the angler fish, whose very name seems
q paradox. The fishing fish is never
theless reality, and stern one to all
that approach those awful jaws Of his.
With body the color Of mud. lie gen.
orally lies in the shadow Of some rock
ON the bottom of the sea. waiting mo-
tionless for the approach Of his prey.
He Is provided with an odd kind Of tin
just over the mouth, and this Is held
out in front Of him to give warning OF
the coming Of something to be swal-
lowed. One taken alive was expert
mented on and 1t was found that II
this projecting fin was touched with a
stick, even though the stick did not
come near the mouth, the jaws closed
convulsively. This shows that the I'm,
by some provision of nature, closes the
Jaws MS soon as 1t is touched.
The mouth 10 tremendous, growing to
the width of foot, while the whole
fish ia only three feet long. One Of these
anglers was caught not long since and.
although it was only twenty-five inches
long. fish fifteen inches long was
found sticking in its throat. The ang-
Ter Is provided with peculiar set Of
teeth, In double or treble rows along
the jaws and at the entrance Of the
throat. Some OF these teeth are foot
long. He is not pretty fish to look at.
but he attends strictly to business and
will swallow anything that touches his
warning fin, whether 1t be meant for
food or not. All kinds Of things have
been found In the stomach of anglers,
from bits of lead and stone to fish al
most as large as the angler itself. This
Is without doubt one of the most pc
culiar and interesting fish in the whole
ocean.
