Siberia and America,

Frederick Palmer has been visiting
the Russian convicts and exiles in ST.
IBERIA. and he finds that neither their
environment nor their rations are rela-
lively any worse to the convict class
than those of Il own. cat first" he
says, Il would not believe the state
ment that Siberian cOnvicts who had
run away to America returned with the
conviction that they would rather be
convicts in Siberia than free men in
America. Afterward l verified it.
Their reasons We're simple: Here we
have time to drink our tea. to talk, and
we get enough to eat. In America you
have to be a slave for ten hours a day.
Every minute a terrible man called the
boss has his eye on you. or else you
can't get any job at all. Yes, in Amer
lea either you have to work too hard
or %starve.'" !,sa,.

Harvard Museums New Specimen
of North American Mammals.

Harvard Muscum's New Specimens
Of North American Mammals.
One of the chief duties of a large
geological museum is the accumulation
of data for scientific investigators.
For this reason such an institution al.
WAYS has a reserve fund Of material
that it does not regularly exhibit. Col
lections that are practically great men.
ageries of skins and skulls of various
mammals, for example, are safely stored
in rooms reserved for scientists and
grow gradually toward an ideal of com.
pleteness that aims to represent all the
various species in the world. Sometimes
In the course of a year there are com.
paratively few new specimens to be
c%atalogued, and again, as was recently
the case at the Harvard Museum OF
Comparative Zoology in Cambridge,
when 10000 specimens We're added at
once. the collection goes forward With
q jump.
The Harvard specimens include both
the skin and skull of an animal. from
which data. however. the trained stu.
dent of anatomy can construct al al.
most exact likeness of the living crea.
ture. That is to say. If any one OF
Nthese hundreds of animals becomes ex:
tinct in the next thousand years. the
scientist of 29O2 can still make a very
good representation of it from the two
pieces thus preserved. The collection
is mainly North American and repre-.
sents the individual efforts of a small
army of collectors. In many instances
there are duplicates. sometimes a mum.
Der of them. OF the same animal. in or.
der to show special variations OF color,
size, etc. All specimens are kept in
alright storage cases subject to grad.

To the average visitor, of course. the
finished product of the taxidermist is
much more interesting than the un
mounted skins. For scientific purposes.
however. the skins obviously stand a
much better chance Of preservation in
their locked cases, and the most in.

Separation of Children Similar to

Siamese Twins.
Paris, Febb. 10.-The condition of
the Hindoo twins, Radica and Dordica,
who were united after the manner of
the Siamese twins and who were sep
areted yesterday afternoon by DR..
Doyen, was no worse today. They have
been sleeping quietly. side by side,
watched by the Sisters of Mercy.
The children are terribly emaciated.
They have been nourished since the
operation with champagne, rum and
tea. DR.. Doyen, who is n of the
first surgeons in Paris, cannot answer
for the life of either Of the twins. He
took great pains to have all the de-
tails of the operation clearly record
ed by a living picture machine. The
doctor twice asked anxiously how
much time was left before the films
would be exposed. The children were
20 minutes under chlorofrom; but the
actual operation lasted only 10 min
ntes.

THREE MAsTED SCHOONER DE-
sTRoYED BY FIRE.
CREW ARE IN SMALL BOATS
Ice Prevents Life Savers Reaching
Them or Them Reaching a
Place of Safety.

Cape May. N. j., Feb. 1O.-A three
masted schooner, the name of which
has not been learned. was burned at
sea tonight. The fire which was
plainly visible from here, started
about 5 o'clock this afternoon and
burned until after 9 O'Clock. The
schooner came to a point about six
miles of shor, in a northeast direc-
ton from Cape May light house dur
ing Saturday night and was caught
in the ice fields flowing out of Della
ware river. Soon as the crews of the
life saving stations at Cape May
Point, Cold Spring and Turtle Gut
Inlet saw the fire they manned their
yawls and attempted to go to the res
cue of the sailors on the schooner.
Ice prevented the crews from reach
ing the schooner, but it is believed
from what can be seen through
glasses that the men are in their
small boats floating around in the
ice waiting for assistance. Up to the
time darkness covered the ocean to-
night no big craft which could have
rendered assistance was seen within
two miles of the burning vessel. The
life saving crews have not returned
up to II o'clock tonight. The vessel
seems to be burned to the water line.

CHOICE MISCELLANY

Tnrkey-The Final Catastrophe.
A strong sultan could still place in
the field an army Of 100000 of the
bravest soldiers in the world, defend
his coasts and ports with torpedo boats
and even in defeat infict terrible blows
upon his conqueror. 1t is true that the
advent OF Il strong sultan is most I'M
probable, the race of Gilman appear
ing at last to be worn out. but a sultan
weak as a Merovingian is quite prob
able. and Il strong mayor OF the palace
or grand vizier would be ever more
dangerous because %replaceable. a rul-
er of Turkey who threw all caution to
the winds summoned every Osmanli to
his standard. stopped all payments ex-
cept for munitions Of wal and fought
as the mahdi fought at Omdurman
would. to begin with, shatter all Euro
pean alliances. might hold in check for
three years any single European pow
err and might while being defeated
cause an explosion such as Europe has
not had to face since the spahis threat
ened Vienna. The Sick Man will be-
queath nothing. and the whole western
world desires his heritage. The catas-
trophe may not come just yet. for the
strange being who now occupies the
throne of Turkey and who will neither
yield nor fight seems irremovable. But
It cannot be put of forever, and every
blow such as the one NJ. Delcasse re-

WILL NOT RISK THEMSELVES
WITH STRANGERS
ARE BLAMED
For Delay in Securing the Release of
Miss Stone, the Ameri-
can Missionary.

New York, Feb. 1O.-Rev. Henry
Otis Dwight of the American mission
at Constantinople, who is now in this
city, has received from mission
sources in Turkey a letter giving a
new phase of the causes which have
delayed the surrender of Miss Stone,
the American missionary. According
to his information the chances of sue.
cess are much lesG<ned by the we'll
meant activity of newspaper CORE
spondents. The situation is extreme
ly critical. 1t has taken months 70
convince the caItur.; of Miss Stone
that the ransom money has reached
its limit. Men chosen for the delicate
mission, because Of their acquaintanc,
with Orientals, have faced serious per-
sonal risk in Tic attempt to carry tina:
mass Of gotd into the wild region
where the b:igands a be met. They
have bravely stood Ec.ween the mill
stone knowing that after the money
has been paid and before the captives
have been released the whole enter
prise may come to grief through the
untimely zeal of those in charge of
the soldiers and police in the neigh
borhood.
Now, besides these difficulties, they
find newspaper correspondents appear
ing on the ground with orders to be
present when the money is paid and
the captives are released.
The brigands simply will not risk
the presence of any strangers. The
generous self-restraint of the news
paper interests is an absolute condi-
tion Of success in negotiations where
complication quite unknown to
stranges are essential factors in the
case.
