numerous inlets, including the head
waters of the Lynn canal. The con-
tention seems to be that the fnlets
less than six miles wide situated in
the disputed region belong to Canada.
United States Consul Foster vigorous
ly opposes this view, holding that the
treaty clearly places the line 80 miles

coast, and thus separates Canada from
all the arms of the ocean and puts

A REMARKABLE RUG.
Gift of the Shah of Persia to tt
Sultan of Turkey


One of the most remarkable fea-
lures of the new edition of 'Oriental
Rugs (Charles Scribner's sons, is
a reproduction of a carpet owned by
the late Henry J. Marquand This
piece, which was woven in the latter
part of the fifteenth century, was
without doubt made as a gift from
the pasha Of Persia to the then ruling
sultan of Turkey, for the authenticat-
ed record held by Mr.. Marquand
showed that it had been found among
the effects of the Sultan Abdul Aziz
after his death.
Aside from the marvellous color
and texture, whichis over 500 knots
to the square inch, the feature of the
rug is that the inscriptions through
out its border, as well as arabesques in
the medallions of the design, are
woven in silver thread. Vast inter
est has been excited among the Eu-
ropean collectors in this carpet owing
to the fact that it is companion piece
for the famous carpet owned by the
Prince Alexis Lobanow Rostowsky.
which was shown in the Vienna mu-
seum's exhibition In 1889.
The Rostowsky rug was supposed
to be without a parallel in the
world, but this carpet, the most high
ly valued among the textile treasures
of Mr.. Marquand, contains positive
internal evidence that it was made
upon the same looms and in the same
period, and doubtless for the same
purpose as that of Prince Lobanow.
which also passed into possession of
its present owner directly from the
seraglio in Constantinople, and SO far
as it can be ascertained this carpet,
used as a frontispiece of Oriental
Rugs" is the highest class oriental
fabric now in. existence in this coun-
try.

HOW ZOE LOCKED.
Description of HIS Appearance
Had Vefy Delicate Hands.

aa0 very Oe1CalS nauuSe
From an elaborate description by
DR.. Chivers printed in ssThe Poe
Chivers Papers in the Century, we
take these paragraphs:
His arms and hands were slender,
and tapered very gracefully and
gently, down to the ends of his fin
gers, which were very tender, gen.
tlemanly, and lady-like. Ia fact, his
hands were truly remarkable for their
roseate softness and l1y-white fem
mime delicacy. You could have
judged of his nobility by his hands.
His face was rather oyal-tapering
in its contour rather suddenly to the
chin, which was very classical-and,
especially when he smiled, really
handsome. His countenance was
tropical in its aspect-preeisely the
reverse of his heart, which, like the
fountains of Solomon, had long been
kept sealed up as something sacred,
from the vulgar gaze of the world
his face, whenever he wrote long at
any one time. putting on a siekly,
sallow, and rather pallid hue-but
never to such an extent as to indi-
cate indisposition. His digestion
was always good-which is prima
facie evidence that he was never a
student.
His dress was always remarkably
neat for one in his circumstances.
But I do not believe that it would
have done for him to have had money.
He was ruined in his youth. His col
lege life in Virginia was the cause of
all his INSTRUMENTATION That was
the Internal whirlpool into which was
driven the beautiful milk-white ship
of his soul, never to be reclaimed. Is
it not one Of the most remarkable
things in the world, that any man of
his abilities should have been SO
amenable to the dictations of others?

RUSSIAN CHARACTER.
Said to Have Been Seriously Misrep-
resented-The Penal System.

Said to Have Been Seriously Misrep-
resented-The Penal System.
Herbert FL. D. Pierce corrects in
the Atlantic Monthly many false inn
pressions regarding Russian institu-
tions. Thus, as regards the penal
system of Russia, individual instances
of-the abuse of power have been cited
as the rule, while they are, in fact,
rare exceptions. There is nothing
cruel either in the national character
or in that of the average Russian Of
fetal. The latter, it is true, says Mr..
Pierce, has frequently received mil
itary training, and pursues the course
Of his duty toward the individual in
trusted to his charge with that rigid
exactitude which pertains to the army
the world over. AS for the reputa-
ton of the Russian for ferocity and
cruelty, nothing could be further
from the truth. In no country in the
world is there less exhibition Of cru
city to child or beast on the part of
prince or peasant, and under no arts
tocratic system is there more gem
erous consideration for the inferior
on the part of the great.

WANTS NO CHANGES.
China Is Backward About Adopting
Modern Ways and Improvements.

1t is true that China needs many
other things besides Christianity,
says Francis III. Nichols, in the At
lantic. She would be greatly better
off if she had railroads and clean ho-
tells, and knowledge of geography
and post offices and factories, but the
lack of these is due not to- the inabil-
ity of the Chinese to provide them,
but to their failure to appreciate their
need of them. No mention Of them is
made in the chart by which they are
steering China has succeeded in ex-
listing almost from the beginning of
the world WITHOUT them; therefore
they are useless. Fhe Chinese nature
is patient and the Chinese brain. is re-
sourceful. The stories oft told in
Tientsin of how native engineers.
with very crude tools and compare
lively little experience, repaired loco
tives that the Boxers had wrecked is
proof that the Chinese are capable
with very little instruction of build
ing and operating railroads. The
Chinese do not build railroads be-
cause they do not want them, just as
they do not want anything that would
hecessitate change in their meth
DDS or customs. They lack incentive.
not ability; and the spiritual element
of Christianity is the only incentive
that will ever make them appreciate
that a chart, no matter how perfectly
made, can never include all of the ex-
panding scope of human life and en-
deayor.

How He Built the Railway by whie;
the Sudan Was Conquered.

the Sudan Was Conquered.
Writing in the Century on the
trip From Cairo to Khartum' by the
Nile and the Sudan railway, DIR. VIII
liam Gage Erving says:
The construction of this railway
will always be ranked as one of
Ktchener's greatest achievements in
the Sudan. Obliged by limited APP
preparations to conduct all his opera
tions at the least possible expense, he
made use of every remnant of the
equipment of 1smail Pasha's unfin-
ished railway, rescuing dismantled en-
gines from bitches, and collecting
missing parts from the contents Of
scrap-heaps. Near the Atbara his
rails gave out, leaving break of some
distance to necessary terminus.
Every siding which could be spared
was taken up, and then, the results
being insufficient, the village of Wady
Halfa was laid under requisition.
Here many of the houses had straw
roofs supported by rails taken from
the old line These were summary
appropriated, and after their remoy-
al Halfa presented the spectacle of
mushroom western town under a cy-
clone. But the line was completed
The greatest obstacle was the all
important stretch Of $50 miles from
Halfa to Abu Hamed, across the neck
of the great bend of the Nile, an un-
broken expanse Of barren desert. The
leading engineers of Europe declared.
it possible to construct railway
across, this tract, arguing that the
entire carrying capacity Of train
would be taken up by the water sup
ply necessary for the locomotive
Nevertheless, assuming the respon-
sibility, the sirdar ordered the work
begun, relying on the indomitable
pluck and skill Of his subordinates in
charge and his own habit of success.
Near the middle of the course, at
points some so miles apart, wells were
sunk, an operation ridiculed by the
natives, and with true Kitchener luck
water was struck in both instances.
SO that the train now accomplishes
the distance with only two extra wa
ter tanks. But all succeeding at
tempts to find water along the line
and they have been many-haye
proved fruitless.
It was by means of this railway
that theESudan was conquered By
its construction the long route of
nearly 700 miles by way of river for
long stretches absolutely unnavigable
for ten or eleven months in the year,
and even at flood impracticable save
for small whale-boats hauled through
rapids at enormous toll and expense,
was exchanged for short, direct, un-
INSTRUCTED highway, its carrying ca
pacity limited only by the shortcom-
ings of single pair of rails.

THE COMING RACE.
Next Generation of Americans Should
Be Giants and centenarians.


Be Giants and centenarians.
There is no reason why the next
generation of Americans should not
be giants in stature and live at least a
century. Science has shown this to
be possible, and that life can easily be
made worth the living for the bare
century of existence that viii belong
to every man that is not run over by
an electric car or struck by an auto
mobile. This is not quackery, de-
-clares the New Orleans Times-Dem-
ocrat, but the assertion of the leading
scientists of the country. Taken In
connection with the assertion of sci
entifc man of Harvard university and
another of Columbia university that
it is possible to convert an ignorant
boy into well-equipped scholar In
about two weeks by hypnotic impress
sion, the next generation may start
life with an education and spend its
hundred years of existence in the ac-
tive pursuits of life. It is not so long
ago that DR.. Loeb advanced and con-
firmed the doctrine that salt would
revive the waning power of the heart:
and that saline solution had the
power of preventing the liquefaction
!. of the nerve substances, without
which process the body cannot die,
Only few weeks ago DR.. Coakley, OF
Chicago, announced that by the use
of hollow gold needle several inches
in length he had been able to pierce
the human heart to the right auricle
and to inject saline or other solution
without the slightest danger to the
subject Thus, while patient>is in
extremis, the physician can pierce the
heart and inject a small particle OF
salt, which will make his heart young
again. arousing the waning action in
an instant
Why should the patient die under
such circumstances until the machin.
cry of the body gives out altogether,
like the deacon's one-hoss shay? Salt
is to be had everywhere, and it is easy
in these days to get a physician to
pierce the heart with a gold needle.
If the patient be young hypnotist
can be giving him a thorough eduea-
ton while he is convalescing,. and he
will arise from his bed a scholar and
an athlete. But he may be person
ofsmall stature. Fortunately science
has provided for that also. DR.. De
Springer has shown that anyone can
be made to reach the stature of a gi-
ant under an electric stimulus, and
the matter of growth can be gagged
absolutely by proper care. Ofcourse.
the ordinary man could not expect to
be stimulated to a growth of over
eight feet by the electric current, but
a stature of eight feet is well enough
for the present. The present genera
ton can hope for nothing more than
to live out a century of life through
the saline injections, though to that
might be added the acquisition of an
education in two weeks. The cleo
trio growth stimulus will probably be
effective in the case Of those who have
not yet attained their growth, though
on his point science is silent. The es-
sential fact is that we do not have to
die until we are ready to die.
