WHERE LIFE is NOT JOY.
Places Which It Would Be Well to
Avoid When Travelling for
Pleasure

| AS places of residence, neither the
Bahrien islands, in the Persian gulf,
nor the city of Yakutsk, Siberia, have
| much to offer in the way of climate,
says the Washington Post
In Bahrien you cook and in Yakutsk
| you freeze. Bahrien is said to be the
| hottest place in the world. The Their
mOmeter often registers between ITO
and 120 degrees, night and day, for
| months at time. This rather beats
! Fort Yuma, AriZ., which is considered
the hottest place in the United States.
| Yakutsk is called the coolest city in
the world. The thermometer frequent
| ly registers 70 degrees below zero.
Though Yakutsk is the coolest city
in>sthe world, Verkhoyansk, in north
eastern Siberia, claims to be the coolest
| Inhabited place on the globe, the Their
mometer registering 80 degrees below
zero in January.
1t is also claimed to be the place
possessing the most variable climate,
for while it is 80 degrees below in Jan
uary, it is sc above in the shade in
August during the day, with a drop
down to freezing every midsummer
night.
The wettest place in the world is
Greytown, Nicaragua, where the an
nual rainfall is 260 inches
The driest place in the world is prob
ably the rainless coast of northern
Chile. They have shower there about
once in every ten years. Nothing
grows on this desolate strip of barren
coast and the dreary towns from which
the nitrates and the minerals mined
in that region are shipped depend for
their subsistence upon food brought to
them in ships from the fertile strips
north and south of the desert.
Northern Russia and the shores If
the French Kongo are said to be the
cloudiest places in the world and for
fog there is no region like the Grand
Banks, the southern coast of New
foundland and the waters of Nova
Scotia
This region is one of fog for a large
part of the year and the very home of
the fog is the island of Grand Manan,
at the entrance of the bay of. Fundy,
where, the sailors declare, the natives
manufacture fog. When a bank spe-
clally thick is seen approaching over
the waters the mariners turn to each
other and Say, 1.-THE Grand Mananers
are at work" y

DIFFER ON FOOD QUESTION.
Experts and Professors Constantly
Studying the Effects of Differ
ent Diets on Mankind.

Day after day humanity undertakes
the task OF solving the food problem, and
the war of the vegetarians against the
diet of meat seems but barely begun, al
though it is a battle of years standing
at that, says the New York Telegram.
One night lately our vegetarian friends
sat down to banquet from which they
carefully eliminated animal food; al
though now and then dish suggested
II, more by reason of the name it bore
than by the taste it conveyed.
One must grant to the vegetarians one
signal accomplishment, and that is their
ability to develop an astonishing array
OF dishes and still spurn the outlet and
the roast. Whether inclined or not to
adopt the theory of living as the vege-
tartan establishes it, there is abundant
variety and methods to please infinite
tastes. In fact, it is quite possible to
sit down to vegetarian dinner and
arise therefrom with grateful sense of
having dined we'll and still not have been
obliged to depend upon roast beef or
roast lamb to satisfy the appetite.
However. it is not so much to call at
tentlon to the vegeta rian diet that we
have CHANGED to mention the recent
banquet as it is to note how much the
matter of foods is far from being set
tied so far as mankind in general is con-
cerned.
One man abstains from meat because
he suffers from rheumatism. Another
finds it out of the question to eat the
simplest vegetable, properly cooked, be-
cause it is certain to be followed by an
attack of indigestion
Professors, whose knowledge of foods
and their benefit to the race is incontro-
vertible, are not altogether satisfied with
the way in which they are administered.
Various experiments are constantly be-
ing conducted to ascertain the effect OF
this or that kind of diet upon man
kind.
One person finds it possible to live
comfortably with no breakfast other
than a little fruit. Immediately scores
adopt the same practice, hoping it may
benefit them, and the no-breakfast fad
suddenly appeals to whole community.
Another decides to dispense with
luncheon and "antiluncheon" classes at
once are organized, whose devotees walk
for half an hour or so in the open air in
preference to sitting down and partak-
ing OF more substantial nourishment.
1t is quite true that what is one man s
food is another mans poison, and so
there is no immediate danger that we
shall all become reconciled to vege-
tartan diet, Notwithstanding the stanch-
ness with which our vegetarian friends
are willing to defend their faith
So the sandwich man and the hot sau-
sage man. the waffle baker and the pie
maker can pursue the even tenor of their
way, knowing that somewhere somebody
will be found who will buy their wares
and relish them, no doubt, too

"Vitches'' Have No Monono1v

The fun poked at Russian names is
rather provincial. Many English proper
names must seem quite as odd and mirth-
provoking to the Russians as theirs do
to us. No Russian would write "Cho1-
mondeley' and pronounceit "Chumley,'
or "Beauchamp' and call it "Beechem -

Lumber War Declared.

Vancouver, B. c., Feb. 2.-Washing-
ton state timbermen, headed by CT.
Moore, of Blaine, have ordered the ma
chinery for four mills to be built at diff
ferent provisional coast points. This
will be the first time in British Column
bias history that mills will be estab-
llshed by American capitalists for the
express purpose of cutting timber for
Puget sound and oregon sale.
The timber will be cut at the mills,
loaded on scows, and taken to Ballard,
where 1t will be dressed at the big plan
ing mills owned by the syndicate. The
promoters say that lumebr can be cut
cheaper here than on the sound, and
even after paying the American duty
1t can compete successfully with the
Washington product. The new pro-
which is cut for export, is the main
whic is cut for export is the main
cause, however of the erection of the
mills.

Peet, treasurer Of the American board
Of foreign missions in Turkey.
Mr.. House says that Americans
scarcely comprehend the tremendous
hold the bandits have in the countries
where he has been stationed, or the
firm hand with which they rule. In
Turkey. Bulgaria and throughout Mace
donia, the bandits openly defy the law
today as they did In the time when
nomadic tribes OF Gets. Teutons and
slavs inundated eastern and middle
Europe with rapine and outrage. Small
villages, Mr.. House says, pay tribute to
the robber clans In return for immunity
from pillage, and the Turkish civil and
military authorities are powerloss to
save the peasantry from the
grinding yoke.
What is far worse. Mr.. House says,
Is the misrule and anarchy or governs
ment provided by the Turks. None Of
the reports Of massacres, exorbitant
taxation. village burning and the out
raging OF women and the Calling serf-
dom Of entire communities are exag-
gerated. He himself has witnessed ter

tians. Barbarities unheard Of are vis-
tied by the fanatical Mohammedan
soldiery upon the Christians whom the
Moslems regard as their legitimate
prey, giving men. women and children
