and encouragement of Alexa Fielding,
charming young woman of fine intellectual
power and art tastes. who supported her
self The story of PauPs progressive love
for this delightful girl, whose character

THE SILVER POPPY. By Arthur stringer..
New York: D. Appleton s. Co.
This is a story of a journalist and a
woman who wrote. She was one of those
beautiful animals with masses of fanny,
golden hair on her shapely head, and she
had fashion Of letting it tumble down
in tangled masses when men were around.
Cordelia Vaughan and John Hartley fell
in love, but John would better have never
met her, and, in fact, this story of that
Hove would better have never been written,
for it shows how stupid and silly a snowy
woman and a selfish and self-conscious
and cowardly man can be. And 1.-THE

authorship and lived lie.

TRAITS OF sIAMEsE ANTS.
Those Insects Have Characteristtcs Hitherto Unknown to the
 Scientists.

A new trait possessed by ants has been discovered by French traveller in some of these insects he found on his journeyings through Siam. These creatures were small, of gray color and lived in damp places. They travelled often and in troops which seemed to be under the direction of commander who rode on 'horse- back" M, Meissen, the Frenchman who noticed this peculiarity, was att tracted to these groups by discover ing that each company contained a large ant that traye1ed more rapidly than the others. Observing them more closely. he noticed that each large ant always carried small gray ant upon it's back, though the re- mainder of the troops were on foot. This mounted ant would ride out from the line, travel swiftly along the column from head to rear and ap- parently overlook their maneuvers. M. Meissen concluded from what he saw tbat this species of ant, while on it's travels, is under the direction of a. commander, though such "ant horses" as the general rides must be rare and valuable. for he scarcely ever found more than one mounted ant in colony.

THE BAGDAD RAIL WAY
A New Line That Germany Is to
 Build in Asia Minor.
WiII offer New Possibilities for Ger @nn Commerce and Open One
 03 the Richest Countries .. i'm the World.

There exists to-day a railroad from Constantinople to Konia, in Asia Minor, which is called the Anatolian railway. It has branches to Smyrna and Angora. German tfnanciers have succeeded in getting a concession from Turkey to continue this route from Konia to Bagdad, and eventually through to Koweit, on the Persian gulf. A corporation for the purpose Of building the road has been formed in Constantinople, under the name of the Imperial Ottoman Bagdad Railway company, with capital of $3,000,000 Its president is one of the managers of the German bank in Berlin. The Anatolian line to Konia will not be merged in the larger concern, but it's cooperation with tue new enterprise has been assured. The approximate cost of the railroad is o,oo0, ,ooO, andit will be about 1,soe miles in length.
 It is claimed that when the enter prise is completed it will bring India three days nearer London. It will shorten by IA days the journey by camel train from Aleppo to the valley of the Lower Euphrates, where almost every square mile of land has it's in teresting ruin or hidden treasure. Speaking of the country between the Euphrates and Tigris, the Chemnitzer Tageblatt, of Germany, says: s'7t..
 'The railway will pass through one of the oldest and richest countries in the world. The most fruitful part of what was once ancient Mesopotamia is that part of the country between Ursa and Mosul. So regular and plen- tfful are the rains that out of every six or seven harvests only two fall short. In other portions of ths coun- try raip is not so frequent, and the soil must be nurtured by process of
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-06-23

irrigation. The land is adapted to raising wheat, barley, rice and cotton. A territory as large as Saxony and German markets"
 To find the shortest way to India is an achievement which has occupied the attention of European commercial nations since the earliest times. The highway built by the Persian satraps, the success of Vasco de Gama in finding water way around Africa, and the construction of the Suez canal mark l epochs in the development of Euro pean commerce with India, The con- structaon of the Bagdad railway will probably be fraught with equally great results, as it will not only serve as a connecting link between the Black sea and the Persian gulf, but it will tap B large territory ysiwhich in recent times has been of practically no value to the commercial world at large Tn 1901 German imports from Turkey l and Asia Minor amounted to $1 ,642, 200, or five per cent. of Germany's total inn ports During the same year Ger many's exports to Turkey and Asia Minor amounted to $8,s06,o ,oo0, or eight per cent. of her total exports.
 The Anatolian railway has already. been the means of furthering German commerce in Asia Minor. Every year this railroad moves 25o,ooo tons of grain, 100000 tons of rock salt and 10000 tons of wool from the interior to the seaboard. These same trains re- turn with $500 tons of ironware from Germany, 5000 tons of petroleum from Russia, and 4,5O0 tons of sugar from Austria. A direct steamship line, con sisting of 20 weu-equipped vessels, was established in 1889 between German and Levantine ports. A German bank was established some years ago in Jerusalem, which exchanged $15,ooo,- 900 worth of money in 1901. Many l thousand German colonists are earn | ing a Mvelihoo in Asia Minor to-day as merchants and horticulturists.
 The claim Is put forth by many that the agricultural development of Asia Minor will relieve Germany of her de- pendence upon the United States for l her cotton and grain supply, but the agricultural development of Asia Minor need give no American farmer or cotton grower apprehension. What
