trajectory faultless. There is positively
one stretch where the line is as straight
as a plumb-line for nearly so miles. The
landscape is dull and monotonous over
nearly the whole route, the train run
ming for hours at time through re-
gion one part Of which can hardly be
distinguished from another. There are
many stations. far too many for the ac-
commodation of the travelling public
merely, but their Importance in times
of war is readily apparent. Another
feature which demonstrates that the
advance Of commercial interests in a
peaceful manner was not the only OBJ
ject of the railway is the fact that the
rails are set on a different gauge than
are those of the European countries.
The Russian fixed on a width of track
all his own. reasoning that in case of
war other nations could not rush train
loads of soldiers into her territory nor
ship in supplies for advancing armies.
The annoying delays to commerce ne
.cessitating trans-shipment amounted
to little in the eyes Of despotic gov
eminent as compared to- the increased
advantages Of national defense.

says writer in Harpers Weekly. OF
these, 50 per cent were common house
nles. The house fly does not bite or
sting. The greatest danger from him
arises from his neglect to wipe his feet.
He will tramp over filth and infected
matter and straightway track his accu-
mutation over anything that any near
by family may be having for dinner. It
is easier to discourage flies altogether
than to teach them better habits. Gen
eral Entomologist Howard talks of a
war OF determination, but the first and
most practicable thing to do is to teach
people In general as much as possible
about flies; when and where they breed
and why they are dangerous. It Is well
known that stables are great nurseries
Of flies. 1t seems hopeless to attempt
to regulate stables SO that flies won't
breed in them, but a good deal can be
done by the use of knowledge and Of
sense; and where stables are so placed
that their flies are particularly annoy
Ing the use of chloride of lime will help
matters very much. The great central
truth about flies and the danger from
them seems to be, the cleaner the place
the fewer the flies and the less danger
from those that are there. Common
files do not secrete poison; they merely
carry 1t. Don't leave any poison around
where they can get at it.. Bury filth;
keep garbage in proper receptacles, and
remove it promptly.

moters, attempt TO- touch the large
cities. h The most important city in ST.
beria, sTomsk, is LETT 70 miles <, Oh the the
line. Nearly every town along Ethe{.n-
tire line lies. from one Is three miles
back from the road. BY running this
way the railway officials did hot have
to condemn or purchase any spriyate

eminent land. The officials reasoned
that the towns would grow to the: ran

for the greater portion of the distance
traversed compare with those of other
countries of Europe and Asia. From
1rkoutsk. three fast trains are run each
week to Moscow and thence to St.
Petersburg. These are fitted up with
dining cars, bath, barber shop, and H.
brary. Slower trains run daily. The
time from Irkoutsk to st. Petersburg

work, spending vast sums of money
and encountering innumerable difficult
ties. and has finally made it possible to
cross Europe and Asia from the Allan
tic to the Pacific by rail. In almost
straight line, the road runs from Mos
cow In Russia to Irkoutsk in the heart
of Siberia-a distance OF 3,4OO miles
and all this way no change of cars is
made. From Irkoutsk, the halfway
point in Siberia, the railway pushes on
to the Pacific coast nearly $500 miles
distant. crossing lake go miles wide
and traversing a mountainous region
which long bafaed every attempt Of en-
gineers to lay the steel lines which
would complete the system to the coast.
By building the line Russia has made
itself the dominating power in all af-
fairs Of the far east. The railway is
primarily military work, and second
arily a means of settlement and ad-
vance Of trade. For travellers it means
that trip around the world can now
be made in 40 days.
