Trans-Siberian railway. Hardin and
Mukden are quite near the Chinese
Eastern railway. Hardin. may be said
to be placed upon the outer edge of the
great Manchurian plain which stretch
es, monotonously level, from the Lao
tung peninsula as far as the Amur
river and conposes the three provinces
of Manchuria. Mukden is we'll within

ing labor
There are villages innumerable on
either side of the lines but since the
Boxer disturbances a clean sweep has
been made for some 200 yards east and
west of the permanent way. Within
this area no settlement is allowed, and
just as British blockhouses in South
Africa were built right alongside the
permanent way, so within this little
reservation there are to be found only
the quarters of the railway forces de-
tailed to guard the line. There are
| innumerable bridges and culverts, the
security of which has been entrusted to
specially selected men. The strength
of these pickets varies between five and

Chief among the lions is Hannibal. fine
male Barbary lion with a magnificent
name. He was given to the Zoo as pres
ent from Mr. Carnegie's little daughter.
When her father asked her what she
would like to present to the garden on
her birthday, she replied: The biggest
hairy headed lion in the world, papa"
Mr.. Carnegies comment on her reply
was quite characteristic. Naturally"
he said, ''she chose the most expensive
animal, but her promise will be made
good" Hannibal was purchased from
Mr.. Carl Hagenbeck. the animal dealer

full whether even this distance will be
covered daily just now, and it is GER
tain that night Journeys will not be at
tempted.
For the custody of the line the Rus
sian authorities have enrolled a spe-
cial force of railway pioneers, number
ing nearly 10000 picked men. Of
course now, in view of the war, these
railway guards have been doubled, and
probably an equal number will have
been added to them again in order to
ensure it's protection. The attitude Of
the local population alongside the line
is unlikely to cause very much difficult
ty. 1t is the wanton destruction by
mounted brigands and the attacks
which these bands may make upon any
isolated post that will be the greatest
source of trouble to the Russians.
The native population take kindly
enough to the Russian occupation of
Manchuria, and so long as they are not
treated too brutally they will come for
ward readily with supplies, transport
and animals. A Chinaman will do al
most anything for money, and while
the Russian authorities may not pay
much for what they commander, if
they pay at all the local people will as
sist willingly, or, at least remain quiz
escent. The villagers are devoted to
their fields, and it is incredible that
they will desert their homesteads for
any very long space. If the Russian
authorities once show that they are
anxious to appease native apprehen-
sions, the settlers will remain, nothing
causing them to retire, not even the oc-
casional burning of village. There
will be good many villages burnt in
Manchuria, but as both sides may be
said to understand the people in whose
country they are operating. one can
rest assured that, as far as possible,
methods of barbarism" will be omit
ted from the war;.
The line threads the heart of an ag-
ricultural country, particularly in that
part officially described as the Chinese
