CAN NOT COMPETE WITH RUSSIA
Standard Oil Company Has Found Its
Waterloo in the Cars Country.

Standard Oil Company Has Found Its
Waterloo In the Cars Country.
1t may be interesting to know that
within Russia's domain the Standard
OIL Company is meeting some of the
most serious opposition Of its long life
Of plumber. This giant trust supplies
over 80 per cent Of the foreign demand
for oil. 1t has competed with the large
oil interests Of Russia. which are con-
trolled by the Rothschids and the No
bel brothers, but 1t has never over
powered them. This Is due to the Rus
sian laws regulating foreign trade In
terests. The Standard OIL Company
controls the export price everywhere
in the world except within the limits
of Russian territory, where cOmpeti-
ton has not been stf1ed. Russia Is
just as rich In petroleum products as
Is the United States, and but for the
power Of the Standard Oh Company
they would be supplied to America by
Russian producers. Russia protects her
oil industry by 200 per cent tariff;
the United States puts oil on the free
list The Gear is not responsible for
this state Of affairs. The power Of
the Rothschilds carried 1t into effect.
These astute flnanciers pictured to the
bureaucracy the infinite horror of an
American trust slowly eating its way
into the very center Of public recogni-
ton by supplying staple commodity
at a fuctuating price. The Roths-
childs told the burea ucrats that If the
Standard OIL Company should become
as powerful in Russia as In America
1t would only add to the ever-burning
fires Of internal nistrust and rebellion
in one way or another. For that rea-
son the Russian government created
the high tariff and permitted the
Rothschilds and the Nobel brothers to
almost monopolize its oil industry

first of July they have attained their
full size. If you could examine them
now, you would find them soft, rather
flexible. nourished by blood, and in
cased in a thick, though skin covered
with velvety fur. The antlers are now
'in the velvet" as the hunters term
it, most critical period for the own
er, who seems to realize it, for he is
careful to avoid contact with anything
liable TO injure them. Should an acct
dent happen and the skin get broken
or the antler disfgured, it might result
in the elk's bleeding to death, or in
his carrying deformed antler until
the following February. Through a
process of nature the blood vessels
that have fed the antlers are shut of
about the middle Of July. and then
they begin to harden. A few weeks
later the elk may be seen rubbing
them against trees or thrashing them
about in the brush while endeavoring
to rid them of the velvet and in n
few days it hangs in shreds and soon
disappears entirely. The elk Is now
lord Of the forest, and is ready to com.
bat with his rivals or enemies.-St

THEY MAKE SNOW IMAGES.
Much Skill Shown by Residents OF
Andreasburg, Germany.

Mich Skill shown by Resfdents OF
Andreasburg, Germany.
In the little town OF Andreasberg, in
the Harz Mountains of Germany, max
ing snow images has been reduced to
science, under the stimulus of an
annual snow festival in which the resi-
dents of the town compete for prizes
Those American boys who, rolling
three balls Of snow of different sizes
into shape, pile one atop Of another
and, gouging holes in the uppermost,
have styled them eyes and mouth, and
the whole "a snow man." should pay a
visit to Andreasberg, says the New
York Tribune. The snow men there
are to the snow men of American
youth as the works of the master
sculptor are to the efforts of the neo-
phyte. There a snow man is man
indeed Nor is the skill of the towns
people confined to the snow man. Fem
mime figures groups. animals. mechan-
ical devices and many others as diff
cult of execution are worked out in
snow.
The festival, organized in 1895, has
come to be an affair of considerable in
terest in that part Of Germany and
during the time 1t is in progress the
little village is thronged with guests
One year 1000 persons enjoyed the
sport.
The task Of the judges is by no
means an easy one. In back yards,
front yards and in the streets before
the houses the models have been set
up. That worker In the snow Is wisest
who waits until the last moment and
then works swiftly and ekullfully, for
the sun is no more merciful to snow in
that country than in this. Many a
good sculptor's work has been reduced
to q shapeless mass before the judges
got around just because the sun would
not hide its face.
A favorite custom among the snow
sculptOrs is to reproduce a scene from
some well-known fairy tale. Thus, at
one of the festivals of the Pied Piper
of Hamein was pictured group OF
snow children dancing merrily to the
imaginary music from his snow pipe.
Little Red Riding Hood, in hood
as white as snow, confronted a huge
white wolf. The Babes in the Wood
faced a wicked old witch, who later
got her just deserts beneath the rays
Of the sun. Love and the Lion was
another snow piece, in which Love
looked rather cold, but either the
wea Their or the sight OF her itera lly
caused the lions mouth to water"
An electric car was the feature Of
one festival. 1t was fine piece OF
work originally. but day or two in
the sun made it look as If it had fig
ured in a wreck.
A steam engine in which many of
the intricate parts Of the real machine
were reproduced In snow was the fea-
ture Of another festival.

ANTLERS VS.. HORNS.
How Elks Shed and Renew Their Pro-
lection and Defense.

How many persons among the many
thousands that annually visit our ZOO
logical parks realize as they pause to
admire the noble bucks of the deer
family-partlcularl the waplu. or
American elk-that their branching
antlers are cast off annually and re-
newed and we'll hardened within the
short period of seven months?
Before describing the manner In
which elk shed their antlers. | should
like to explain the difference between
"ontlers" and "horns" All the mem
bers Of the deer famiy-the moose,

which we call moose is known ms elk,
and smaller deer-possess antlers,
while the appendages on the heads of
goats, sheep, cattle and the like are
known as horns, and, with one excep-
tion-the American antelope, or prong
horn-are retained by their owners
throughout life.
Elk shed their antlers about the first
of February, though much depends
upon the locality and upon the age and
health of the animal. If often hap
pens that one antler Is carried several
DAYS after the other has been dropped.
The new antlers push Off the old ones,
and when they appear they resemble
scars on the animals forehead, but
soon take the form Of two black vel
vet buttons about the size Of silver
dollars. AS they continue to grow

He picks his food up with his trunk
And stuffs it in his mouth;
His tail is the north end Of him
When he is going south.

With anger or dismay,
