The Trans-Siberian Railway.

: The Trans-Siberian railway is
1923 miles in length from St. Pet
ersburg to Port Arthur. It is a
single-track railway of poor con-
struction, the rails weighing only
ffty-four pounds to the yard
throughout its entire length.
Many of the locomotives are
wood burners. and nothing like
the modern locomotives of other
countries in tractive power. It's
grades and curves, however.
though it crosses two mountain
ranges, are remarkably easy.

Millions Of Telearams In 1908.

1t Is just sixty years ago since the
first Geographic message was sent by
the Morse system from Baltimore to
Washington, and the first message by
the Atlantic submarine cable was dis
patched six years afterward-that is
to say, in June, 1850. Since then the
use of the telegraph has developed at
a marvellous rate. until at the present
time a million messages are sent over
the worlds lines every twenty-four
hours. According to some returns re-
Gently issued the number OF tele-
grams dispatched in all countries In
1908 reached the enormous total of
364,S4S,474. AS a user of the telegraph
Great Britain heads the list with 3d.
471.000 dispatches, and United States
is second with 1891, 900, and France

Mr.. B. l.. Skrivseth of this place
has been added to the steadily grow.
ing following that Dodd's Kidney
Pills have in this part of the country.
Mr.. Skrivseth gives two reasons
for his faith In the Great American
Kidney Cure. The first is that they
cured his wife and the second Is that
they cured himself.
II must say" says Mr.. Skrivseth,
that Dodds Kidney Pills are the
best remedy for Kidney Trouble
ever knew. My wife had Kidney Dis
ease for years and she tried all kinds
of medicine from doctors but It did
not help her any. An advertisement
led her to try D'dd's Kidney Pills.
The first box helped her SO much
that she took eight boxes more and
now she Is cured.
II also took three boxes myself
and they made me feel better and
stronger in every way"
Dodd's Kidney Pills have never yet
failed to cure any kidney disease
from Backache to Rheumatism, Dia.
betes or Bright's Disease.

While in this happy frame of mind
his discretion broke away from its
mornings and he confdentially In
formed a couple of fellow passengers
that he was coming to this country
to study American Notifications and
pick up what information he could
regarding military affairs. He also
told them his real name. All Of
which decided the authorities that he
was not a desirable visitor, so he re-

changed to the east. He mentioned
this to an Englishman who lived on

Muscles Have Their Stages Of Do

Careful investigations have proved
that the muscles, as well as other
organs OF the body, have their stages

the strength of several thousands
of people have been made by the use
OF dynamometer strength measured.
and the following are given as the
average figures Of the white race.
The lifting power Of a youth Of II 10
2S0lb. In his twentieth year this in
creases to 32Olb., and in his thirtieth
and thirty.frst years It reaches its
height, 356lb. At the end OF the
thlrty.first year the strength begins
to decline. BY the fortieth year It
has decreased Slb.. and this diminu-
ton continues at 4 slightly increasing
rate until the iftieth year Is reached,
whom the figure is 33olb. After this
period the strength falls more and
more rapidly.
