An Ambitious Project.

While not of immediate practical mo- ment, a proposition made in a paper read before the International Geo graphic congress at St. Louis by M. de Lobel. a French delegate. possesses a more than ordinary world interest because of the vastEess of the subject and the great interests involved. M. de LobePs idea is, in brief, to build or rather bore tunnel under Behrirg sea from Alaska to Siberia. using a chain of islands as landing places. An in- ternational railway is. of course, in volved in this plan, which, as pointed out, would mean the development Of a large portion of Alaska and of Sibe- ria. the existing railways of America and Asia. being connected thereby. The plan is to cross from Alaska to the Russian coast at the 16Sth degree. The naturalization of the strait is one ob- ject to be sought before any serious idea of putting the plan into active be- ing can be entertained As to the prac- ticability of the plan, M. de Lobel ar gues that it is not so difficult as those of the proposed tunnels between Eng land and Ireland or that under the channel between England and France. It is contended that the Behring strait tunnel would do away with all mari time journeys from Europe to New York, and would bring western Ameri- ca eight days nearer to the old world. The decDeet eoundires v,o,7o f,, roob-f,- .- on the line of the future tunnel do not exceed 165 feet, and this fact, it is con tended, would permit of the tunnel be- ing bored by means of easily accessi- ble galleries. The existence of the Dio- mede Islands in the middle of the strait is considered another favorable point. The larger of the two islands will enable the underground way to be divided into two sections of near ly equal length, and will serve as a base for the creation and erection of works and plant for supplying the mo- tive power Electricity or compressed air) necessary for the running of trains under the marine depths, as well as for the complete ventilation of the tun- nel. The project is naturally one that may be said to be interesting even if not a possibility of the near future It. is to be recalled that. owing largely to climatic conditions, the movement of the worlds populations has been large ly from east to vest, along lines of fering relatively the least resistance, and this project, bold as it appears in some respects, is really less unlikely of realization than some of the accom- plished wonders of modern engineering seemed some decades ago.

Upon Which Horn, rIr. smIthP

When Arizona failed to get into the union with Utah. was it because Dele gate Mark Smith would not accept the terms offered Utah-namely, an anti polygamy constitution?
 In his Phoenix speech MT. Smith said his only reply to this question was that he was not in congress at that tlne-that Utah was admitted on the 4th day of July, 1895" when he was private citizen, practicing law at Tucson.
 Now that it has been established conclusively tha. MT. suAth was in congress throughout the period cover' ed by the passage of the Utah bill, what will MT. Smith do?
 Upon which horn of the fatal diIem- ma which confronts him does he pro- pose to impaIe himself? Does he pro- pose to stiek to his story and asser. that he was not present when congress was urged to admit Arizona along with Utah, or will he conclude that he can no longer remember the most import ant part of his political career?
 Will he make up his mind that it is safe now, as it has been for him in former years. 70 try to fool the people of Arizona, or will he take refuge in the explanation that it has been dm- possible for him to remember?
 Meanwhile, these facts are embedded in history. as certified by the librarian of congress. The bill admitting Utah was introduced in September, 1893. The bill was debated from time to time for three months, and passed the house in December, 1893. It passed the senate in July, 1894. It was signed by the president in July, 1894. Thereafter, so far as the admission of Utah was concerned, the work of congress was complete. It remained only for the people of Utah to comply with the terms of the bill and adopt a constitu- ton prohibiting polygamy, which they readily did. It was not until nearly nine months after congress had com pleted its work. or on the 3rd day of March, 1895, that Delegate Smith re- tired from congress to that Tucson law practice" The people of Utah cheerfully accepted the terms offered Utah, and of course the people of Ari- zona would have cheerfully accepted the same terms.
 Again, what does MT. Smith propose to do about it? The people of Ari- zona are anxiously waiting to hear,

A Democratic Forecast.

Democratic experts" have prepared a forecast of the presidential election, which comedies a hundred and ninety five electoral votes to the republicans. a hundred and sixty-six to the demo- crats, and chasing a hundred and ff- teen as doubtful. Following is the grouping:
 Republican-California, 10; Illinois, 27; Iowa. 19; Kansas, 10; Maine. G; Massachusetts, 16; Michigan, 14; Min nesota, Il; Nebraska, 8: New Hamp- shire, f; North Dakota, 4; Ohio, 23; Oregon, 4; Pennsylvania, S4; South Da- lIota, 4; Vermont, 4; Wyoming, 8; to- tai, 195.
 mOcratic-Alabama, Il; Arkansas, g; Floriea, 5; Georgia. 13; Kentucky, 13; Louisiana, g; Maryland. 8; Mississippi, 10; Missouri, IS; North Carolina, 12; South Carolina, 9; Tennessee, 12, Texas. IS; Virginia. 12; West Virginia. '; total, 166
 Doubtful-Colorado. 5; Connecticut. '; Delaware. 3; Idaho, B. Indiana, 15; Montana. 3: Nevada. 9; New Jersey. 12; New York, 39; Rhode Island, 4; Utah, 3; Washington. 5; Wisconsin, 1s; total, 115.
 The Providence Journal, fndependent- republican, and one of the fairest newspapers in the United States, makes the following analysis or this forecast. Of course, it points out, it is crass ignorance of the facts which puts Rhode Island in the doubtful group; of course there is hardly more reason for putting Connecticut there; of course West Virginian should really be taken out of the democratic group; of course Wisconsin should really be placed In the republican group, and various oth- CT errors in the classification would have to be corrected to give a really fair and reasonable conspectus of the probabilities. But take the groups just as they stand and see to what conclu- sions they lead.
 What chances, asks the Journal have the democrats of securing any 1 considerable portion of the hundred and fifteen doubtful votes? And it proceeds to show the faliacy of the democratic claims. In 1900 Mckinley carried every one of those thirteen states except Colorado, Idaho, Mon- tana and Nevada. Every one of them now has a republican governor excep: Montana. Nevada and Rhode Island Everyone of them has a republican legislature except Colorado and Neva- da. Of the twenty-six representatives they have in the United States sen ate twenty are republicans. Of their eighty-nine members of the house oi representatives, sixty-two are republi- cans. In the congressional election. oi 1902 the aggregate of republican votes cast in them was much larger thar that of democratic votes. From all the trustworthy indications, therefore, oi the dominant political sentiment ir these states it is plain that the chances ard heavily against the democrats ir the doubtful group as a whole. Yet ii only a hundred and sixty-six votes arc conceded to be surely democratic they must somehow manage to get nearly two-thirds of the votes here cIassed as doubtful, Their prospects, on this fore.

WASTED INDUSTRY.
u Mouse Task That Failed Becaaso
of q Lack of Ingenuity.

A number of white footed mice
which l had in captivity, says writer
in Country Life In America, escaped
from their cage to II cupboard in the
kitchen, and thence through a hole in
the plaster and between the laths to the
walls of the house Every night they
came out for food One evening / saw
n mouse come out of the cupboard.
He found a hickory nut on the floor
and attempted to carry it up the wall
twelve inches to the hole in the plaster,
but, alas, the crack between the laths
was too narrow and after fumbling
with his burden for a minute or two
he dropped it to the floor. Next he
tried to push it in ahead Of him, and,
failing in that, he went in himself,
turned round and attempted to pull it
in after him. Occasionally 1t would
slip out OF his paws and roll upon the
kitchen floor. and then out he would
come and repeat the whole perform
ance. He tried it again and again, but
with no better success. He kept at 1t
until far into the night, and when
awoke at o'clock the next morning
the first thing that | heard was that
mouse or another one fumbling and
dropping the hickory nut
Since then | have kept them well
supplied with nuts, and, although they
still spend hours in carrying them to
the crack in the laths and letting them
fall, they are always forced in the end
to eat them in the cupboard There Is
plainly lack of ingenuity, because ten
minutes gnawing would have solved
the problem. Had the aperture in
either case been too narrow to admit
themselves they would have quickly
widened it with their teeth, but TO ap-
ply the same principle TO get the nut
through seemed to be a piece of rea-
soning entirely beyond them.

HISTORY OF THE COACH.
The First of These Vehicles Wns
Built In 1867.

AS popular as coaching is in some
parts of the country, but little reliable
information has ever appeared in the
public press respecting its history and
Development At the town Of kotze, in
Hungary, in 1857, the first coach was
constructed This was soon afterward
presented to Charles VII. at Paris. The
first authentic record of a stagecoach
in England shows that six of such
vehicles were in use there in 1862. SO
popular did they become in that coun-
try that few years later they were In
general use on all the principal roads
of the kingdom.
Steam railways have to large ex
tent done away with the use of the
coach as link in the commercial chain,
but as means of furnishing the high
est type of recreation the coach and
four is as popular today In the British
empire and in France az ii was when
this was practically the only means Of
locomotion in those countries.
Safeguarding in America was al
most coeytensive with the settlement
Vi INC tblbIltS, tiiit III llit tdllg uiSlulS
of the country there were few if any
places of any Importance that did not
welcome the sound of the coachmans
horn as one of the fascinating incidents
of pioneer life. As civilization pushed
itself westward the stagecoach was
ever in the lead of those agencies which
blazed its pathway. These vehicles, as
well as their equipments, Were COM
paratively crude in their construction
and unpretentious in their appoint
ments, but they admirably served the
purpose for which they We're intended
and laid the foundation for the popu-
larity of coaching as pleasurable pas
time developed in later years.
Coaching parties had been popular in
England and France for several gener.
atoms before they We're introduced in
this country, yet the sport is so whole
some and enjoyable that it cannot be
doubted that in time it will become as
popular here rs it is across the Allan
tic.-Illustrated Sporting News
