MORE WOE FOR POLAND.
Her Industries Have Suffered More
from War with japan Than
Rsst Of Russia.

According to United States Com
mercial Agent Harris ut Eibenstock.
Germany, the industries in Russian
Poland have suffered more from the
war with Japan than any other part
Of Russia That is attributed to the
fact that the Polish provinces on the
Vistula manufacture, to q large extent,
certain articles which are dependent
for q market either upon foreign coun-
tries or distant parts OF the Russian
empire. One-half Of the Inhabitants
Of Russian Poland is dependent upon
house industries for q living. These
house industries consist Of the manu-
facture Of gloves, shoes, scarfs, neck
ties, shirts, underwear and ready-made
clothing. There are whole cities in
Poland, as for example Bresiny, in the
district Of Piotrkow, which are abso-
lutely dependent upon the making of
cheap, ready-made clothing for dis
tant markets.
up to the outbreak Of the war"
says the report, Siberia and the Rus
sian possessions on the Pacific were
the best markets for this industry.
To-day there is practically no de-
mand for manufactured goods In any
Russian territory in the far east either
directly or indirectly influenced by the
war.
Another cause Of the extreme bust
ness depression in Russian Poland Is
q too liberal use of the iong-credit sys-
tenn, which has been participated In to
the fullest extent by both the manu-
facturer and merchant At the out
break of the war those manufacturers
who were called upon to meet the de-
mands Of their foreign bankers were
compelled to force payments from
their customers. Such procedure has
made it's influence felt among every
class Of the inhabitants.
The crop failure In the Vistula
provinces in 1904, caused by the long
continued drought. has also produced
much misery among the peasant
classes"

cHAMoIs DEFEATS EAGLES.
Warliks Birds Attempt to Destroy
Mountain Creature, But Are
Beaten Oh.

A desperate combat between two
eagles and q chamois was witnessed
on q snow-covered mountain near Flu
shi one day lately, relates q Geneva
correspondent to the London Express.
One Of the young eagles attacked q
young chamois, when it was charged
BY the sire Of the herd, which was
some distance away. At this point an
other eagle appeared, but the chamois
repeatedly beat them both on by fierce
thrusts Of its antlers.
The struggle continued for half an
hour, after which the birds took to
fight The channels remained immov-
able with head erect, gazing denantly
at the soaring birds until they were
lost to sight,
Some sportsmen next day found the
spot where the heroic combat had ia
ken place Uttered with feathers and
fur, and the snow was splashed with
blood.

Italy's Industrial Advances.

Not many people In the United
States are fully aware Of how rapidly
Italy 10 advancing in industrial i'm
portAnce. In some ways northern
Italy has in the last ten years shown
as promising development in an in
duStrial way as is to be found any
where in Europe. The never-failing
water supply Of the snow-topped noun
tains is being utilized by the electrical
engineers in a way which promises to
convert northern Italy into . great in
dustrial state. Nowhere in Europe is
there a population better fitted to aid
in an Industrial development. The peo-
pie are dexterous, quick to learn and
industrious. and up to the present time
the general wage scale compares IA
vorsbly with that Of any competitors
which they have to meet. The result
Of these favorable conditions has been,
for instance, the development Of the
silk industry at a rate which sounds

FOLLOW LEADER TO DEATH
Sheep Deliberately Plunge Into Frozen

The most striking example Of fol-
hwing a leader into the jaws Of death

said a Kent county farmer, according
to the Baltimore Herald.
'Ex-Sherif Plummer." he continued,
had . flock Of IL sheep, which. for
some unaccountable reason, deter
mined to 60 from one pasture to an
other. To make the journey it was
necessary to cross the creek on the
ice. Sure enough, the old buck Of the
1oek walked cautiously out on the
weakened ice. When he was about
mid-stream 1t gave way and he
plunged in. The other sheep. instead
Of returning to the shore, which they
could have done. deliberately, and, as
the lawyers would put it. with malice
afOrethOught,' walked into the hole in
the ice made by their leader and were
drowned. Nothing but sheep would
have ever been fool enough to be
guilty Of such a performance. There
was possibly some excuse for the fool
hardy old buck, but can think of no
extenuating circumstances in the case
Of the others"

The Cold South.

From the observations made by ~
cent antarctic explorers, Prof. Julius
Ham has recalculated the average
temperature Of the southern hemi-
sphere a. compared with the northern,
and his results differ, in some re-
spects, from those heretofore accepted.
He finds that the mean temperature
south Of the equator, for the entire
year, Is about two and theee-Quarters
degrees lower than that north Of the
equator. But the annual variation Of
temperature In the northern hemi-
sphere Is twice a. large g. In the
southern, our summer temperature
being much higher and our winter
temperature perceptibly lower than
those Of the corresponding seasons In

into st. Petersburg.
There is a persistent ,esnor in cir
culation here, a we'll known revolu-
tionary leader being authority for the
same, that the car has been warned
to leave Russia. This communication
was sent to the ruler in three differ
ent ways in order to guarantee it
reaching him. The czar was advised
for his own sake, as well as for his
familys sake, to leave the country at
once.
The communication to the car is
also to have stated:
I'VE do not want to harm any men,
Der of the imperial family, but we will
not be responsible for their safety in
the present critical time"
1t is stated on high authority that
one copy of the warning was taken
to the cars private apartments at

The car is heavily guarded in the

midable array of troops, while dozens
of Maxims and large supplies of am
munition are stored away. Few of
the officials have access to the car.
The emperor. who has been I'M

loyal. Now that WHITE has failed to
prevent the strike the car is inclined
