Outsiders are not able to form an

Even the sympathetic people OF Eu-

men who belonged to the second class

nearly all of them being Of the black

THE SIBERIAN RAILWAY.

Il Can Carry 5000 Men and Neces-
sary stores Every Four Weeks.
It 10 reported that the Russian mill
tary transport authorities estimate the
through carrying capacity Of the Sibe-
rian railway for the next six months
at about $4,000 men and the necessary
stores every four weeks, says the New
York Post. The estimate given by
them in the early summer varied from
$1,000 to 1900. and the former rate
seems to have been maintained. Thanks
to various improvements and to the
completion Of the Circumbaikal line,
an increase of 40 per cent is now looked
for. On that calculation Russia will
be able by April next to detraln In
Manchuria the last contingents OF lJ0,'
600 men from European Russia or of
200 900 men II the transport OF general
supplies could be temporarily reduced.
Nothing short Of a duplication Of the
main line from Samara to Hardin Is
expected to do much toward solving
Russias transport difficulties, as the
number of trains dispatched westward
with sick and wounded and with emp
ty trucks keeps on increasing as the
campaign grows older. In the mean
time the railway system In southern
Russia has been most seriously disor'
ganized by the war. The bulk Of the
available locomotives, vans and trucks
have been diverted for war traffic, and
the daily deliveries of grain ut Odessa
have been small and irregular Mt a
time when the export trade ought tc
be at its height.

Most Powerful Search li4ht,

power Of the great instrument may be
gained from the fact that II 1t were
possible to set it upon hill or tower
300 feet high its rays could be detect
ed from distance Of nearly eighty-fiv
miles. Its candle power, at 10000
600, is so great as to be almost incom-
prehensible in figures. When the
searchlight for the Heligoland light
house was turned out at the Schuckert
works some time ago it was consider

TOYS AS AID TO CRUELTY.
chicago Woman Tells How First
PIaythings Foster Warlike Ideas.

flaythlngs roster ~arIlke Ideas.
"The earliest toys given children
generate in them spirit of cruelty"
was the statement made in paper by
Mrs Theodore Thomas of Chicago
which was read by Mrs. Anna Harris
of Boston before the recent convention
Of the American Humane association
at the ST. Louis worlds fair, says a
special dispatch to the Chicago Trib-
une.
Children are trained in the arts of
cruelty" declared the writer Their
earliest toys generate in them this spir-
it. One of the first playthings given
a boy is whip, and as he rides his
play horse his mother urges him to
whip the bad horse. A little later the
boy is presented with a set of tin SOL
diers, and with these he plays at the
cruel arts of war. Then when the lad
goes out of doors he receives a pop
gun, with which he amuses himself
killing birds and other innocent crea-
lures. With the use of these toys the
infiction Of cruelty becomes a pleas
ure.
Children are not by nature cruel
but it is easy to make them so by CIV
ing them toys which are to be employ
ed in the killing or the hurting of in
nocent creatures. There is nothing bet
ter fitted for the wholesome develop
ment of the better traits in the charac-
ter of child than care for the pro-
lection of animals and the study of
nature. Children are not brought up
to use their brains and their hands.
Another objection to the education
of children is that they are given more
liberties than at their youthful age
they know how to employ.
"The present general aim of educa-
ton is to make instruction interesting.
The teachers do the work, and the
children are relieved of the effort of
learning. The children are trained to
enjoy themselves, and they learn to
shirk the drudgery Of learning
Children are given too much unem-
ployed time. They are not engaged on
healthful games, but outside school
hours they loiter around doorsteps
shooting birds and cats. A system of
education should be devised which will
teach the children not only to better
employ their time, but to train them
to be kind to each other and to ami.
