ICE CARNIVAL.
(Scripps News Association

SARANAC LAKE. N. Y, Jan. al
The accommodations of hotels and
boarding houses are taxed to their
limit to provide for the many visitors
who are here from far and near for
the great ice carnival, the red letter
event of the year in the Metropolis
of the Adirondacks." The program
for the three days carnival begun
today is more varied and attractive
than ever before. It's various feat
ures include a parade of decorated
floats and sleighs, hockey games,
skating races, both professional and
amateur; fancy skating. an illumi-
mated ice palace. fancy dress on the
ice and a tournament of knights on
horseback, in imitation of a medieval
tournament. Many strong Canadian
teams will take part in the hockey
games and skating races. All indica-
tions point to the most successful
carnival of the kind that has ever
taken place in the Adirondacks.

Built on swamp against nature
and against reason, by the fiat of an
autocrat, st. Petersburg is to day as
artificial in its maturity as it was in
its origin Pretending in its eXter-
nal appearance to be like Paris and
other cities of western Europe, it Is
at heart Asiatic and eastern.
Situated on the northern boundary
OF the wheat belt in a region of al
most artic desolation, it is great
because 1t feeds like parasite on
the whole Russian Empire.
In way st. Petersburg is very
handsome city. The streets are reg
ular and unusually wide; the Neva,
which bisects it as the Thames does
London, or the Seine Paris, is more
than twice as wide as either of these
streams, and the government build
ings are well built and exceedingly
numerous. But the whole looks as
if it were made to order by a gov
eminent architect. There Is no indi-
vidual effort or of art for the sake of
art; in fact, no art of any kind. 1t
is huge cumbrous expression, in
bricks and mortar, of autocratic

of the city live underground in con-
ditons of the most abject poverty.
Naturally even a moderate flood
made a great number of these peo-
pie homeless and drowned some of
them who we're unable to get aut in
time. The car sent a relief fund of
100000 roubles ($5,000,000O and
there was a large private gifts, but
even supposing most of this fund
was not embezzled, as such funds
usually are in Russia, it would have
been barely enough for the most ur-
gent cases. Were it not for rare in
cidents of this kind the world would
never learn that the brilliant city of
st. Petersburg was built above this
substratum of awful misery.
1t is stated by very good authority
that there is not building of res
idence in St, Petersburg, no matter
how splendid, which does not have
its cellars and subcellars filled with
miserable outcasts. AS rule the
owners of the buildingh do not know
they live there, but they get in by
