cents and for distance of 1000
miles the rate was only twenty cents.
Russia then had the cheapest postage
mail service in the world.
At the same time England was
charging on short distance twenty
eight cents. and fifty and sixty cents
for long distances. Think of writing
letter that was only to travel fifty
miles and paying twenty-eight cents
Hostage on it, In France at the same
time the rate was twenty-five cents
for single letter for 600 miles. In
the United States, then only the Thir.
teen Colonies. the rates for letters go
ing any disance ran from fifty cents
to one dollar in English money.
AS late as 1876, G. Frederick Wright
notes that the United States govern
nent charged ten cents for carrying 6
any letter over 300 miles, although at
that time Russia would perform the
same work for an equivalent of our
two-cent piece. In 1871 a mail once
every two weeks was established be
tween Moscow and Tobolsk, a dis
tance Of 1000 miles. Yet in the same
year the mails between Boston and
New York. only $50 miles, could be
delivered only every two weeks
Going back to 1874. the mails were
carried in England by horse and man
at a speed of not more than four miles
an hour. The same year Russia was
sending her post clerks and horses in
to Siberia at the speed of eight and
ten miles an hour It was no uncom-
mon thing for her mail carriers to
make 200 miles in a single day.
Russia today carries her mail and
delivers it as rapidly-and more ac-
considering her immense ter
ritory--as does the United States
She further does this as cheaply as
does the republic These facts arc

The Truth About Mourt Sinai.

Was Mount Sinai VOLCANO? Prof.
Hermann Gunkel Of Berlin answers-in
the affirmative. He bases his argu.
ment on various incidents set out in
the Old Testament. Thus, Sodom
and Gomorrah were destroyed by a
rain Of fire and ashes. Again. in
Exodus We are told that black cloud
hung over the mountain; thunder ana
lightning appeared, and the ole
mountain stirred. Taking them to
sether, the professor considers that
Sinai was an active volcano, toward
which Moses led his people, who saw
in the fury of an eruption tie express,
sion OF the wrath of heaven.

MONKEYS EARN A LIVING.
Manipulate Fans in India to Cool
Their Masters Parchirg Brows
Method of Education.

Monkeys are more than pets in some
parts of the world. At Malabar, India,
they are taught to work, and have ac>
tually made themselves almost indispen,
sable in the homes of the wealthy. The
Malabar monkey Is of the fine species
known as the langur. 1t is very warm
in Malabar, and there is a fan called the
punka, which used to be kept in mo-
tion by a slave. 1t required a slave to
work each punka, but now every punka
in Malabar is worked by a monkey.
1t was an English officer who con-
ceived the idea of making the largur
work in that manner. The fan is a n ov-
able frame, covered with canvas and
suspended from the ceiling. The motion
is caused by pulling a cord. The officer
tied the hands of the langur to one Of the
cords, and then by means Of another
cord put the machine in motion. OF
course the monkeys hand went up and
down and the animal wondered what
kind of a game was being played. Then
the officer patted its head and fed it with
candy till soon the langur thought II
was fine fun to work the punka. The
experiment was successful and now
thousands of monkeys are in harness.

HER FAR-sICHTED POLICY.
The Means by Which Japan Has At
tanned Her Supremacy
in the East.

In an article on Japanese Patriot
ism" in Parsons, Mr.. Alexander Hume
Ford gives an interesting account of
ans foresighted policy. He says:
Every year from two to three thou
sand students arsssent}to America, and
as many go to Europe, to enter the most
advanced universities and machine
shops Of the two worlds, These young
men are thoroughly impressed with a
sense of their own. Importance, know
ing full we'll that it is their destiny to
return to Japan and carry the country
forward along advanced lines of CIV
illzation. Their intense patriotism
urges them, as a rule, despite the obsta-
Giles of a foreign tongue, to seek the hon
ors Of their class, and the Japanese stu
dents abroad may always be found in
the front ranks of American and Euro
pean colleges. Once graduated, they
quickly return to Japan. Search the
continent of America never so carefully,
and you will not find as many resident
Japanese In it as there are Cinnamon in
the cities of either New York or Chica-
go; yet no alien law, as In the case
OF the Chinese, prevents the settlement
of the Japanese in our midst. They
come, observe, remain long enough to
master the workings of our latest inven-
lions In scientific apparatus and me-
.chanics, then return home to adapt to
the service Of their people all that they
have found useful abroad. So to-day,
because they have prepared in times of
peace, Japanese f%oundries, %shipyards,
machine shops and factories are ready
to turn out the most modern ordnance,
battleships, and firearms fit t O do battle
with any power that threatens Japanese
supremacy in the far east"

Hunting with al Elephant.

Gen. Sir Montagu Gerard, in a recent
volume, tells this story of hunting with
an elephant in India: "The best bags
| made were SO brace snipe and some
teal one day between one a. m. and sun
set and 70 brace and 26 duck and teal
for one whole day, besides a couple of
hours on the preceding afternoon when
accommodating the ground. The only
retriever one could safely employ was
an elephant, not SO much for fear Of
crocodiles as on account of the tangled
weeds which wind themselves round
the limbs of a swimmer like the tenta-
Giles of an octopus" Z.
