LOST SIBERIAN RAILWAY.
How First Steel Road of Northern
Asia Mysteriously Disappeared.

From the Electrical Review.
Near Irkutsk in Central Siberia Is series
OF rapids on the Angrara river. After
many disasters the river transport COM
panies decided in the early 'I0s to build a
short railroad for transshipment of freight
around the rapids The twelve-miie road
was probably the first railroad built in Asia
outside of India and certainly the first one
built in northern Asia.
There was no regular service. about two
trips each way being made week. as car
go offered. With the improvement of the
roads through this region by the Russian
government traffic this part of the river
was gradually abandoned and the railroad
finally fell into disuse. The locomotive was
acquired by farmer to be used once a
year to drive a threshing machine, the
cars were taken off on barges and towed
away and the line abandoned.
Some fifteen years later the locating en-
iyineers OF the Siberian railroad, enter
Ing this part of Siberia heard rumors
of a railroad which had existed many
years previously. This is a vast region OF
sierra, forest tundra, steppe and-here and
there - of rinc tuntranslatabie - literally
quick mudo. and presented great diff
cuIties for railroad construction. News of
an abandoned line. which had been success
fully operated was therefore, received with
much interest and search was made for
the road
The freight sheds were finally discovered
and then the line of the road marked by
the clearing In the forest. but no trace of
the rails or roadbed could be found. The
right OF way was much overgrown with
underbrush and bordered with the dense
forest, was almost as black and cold as a
mountain tunnel, the sun being Just visible
lighting up the topmost branches of the
giant frs. The railroad itself had COM
pietely disappeared. Not a rail. not sleep
er, only an occasional suggestion now and
then of what had once been rude cross
drainage bitches
In an effort to find the track picks were
driven as far as they would go into the
earth, only to bare masses OF tangled roots
The railroad was lost. 1t could not have
been burnt up, because there had been no
fires, nor stolen and carried of piecemeai
for the region was totally lacking in popu-
iation. Moreover. the old freight houses
remained with their locks intact and pack
ages OF overlooked goods in good condi-
ton within them. 1t is believed to have
been a case of gradual subsistence.
The unbaliasted track through the forest
gradually depressed by few years traffic
naturally became a drainage conduit for
the surface water OF the forest rendering
in time the subsoil spongy throughout
The significance of the fact that the line
was much overgrown lies In the fact that
this underground probably owed much of

was never any ballast and In some un,isu-

From the Reader
The Specific levity'' which the American
often has and which his British cousin Is
far less likely to have assumes various dis
guises II masauerades as the American
joke" which the foreigner falls to take IL
underlies the American sense of humor,
which is so portentous and so battling to
the foreigner. 1t Is an element in the good
humor which accounts for the tolerance
and the sympathy that observant travellers
from Europe are swift to perceive. II sus-
tains that omnipresent optimism which is
one of the recognized characteristics of the
American and which is almost wholly
lacking in our kin across the sea- IL may
even be accountable in some measure for
the friendliness OF social intercourse
and for our casual confidence In our Il How
man.

Blunt Advocate:

A few hours spent in
Miller this week gave the
editor a chance to n0te the
progress of that thriving
place lately incorporated
as a city. There is a gen
e raj spirit of improvement
manifest, specially shown in
the erection of more sub
stantial business houses and
dwellings, laying cement
walks extensively, etc.
Among the newer struct-
ures are two fine brick
banks completed within the
past year or so, III one Of
which-the Hand County
State Bank-we found our
former townsman, E.. f.
Waite, who is the cashier
and largest stakeholder,
and Mr.. Richardson assis-
tant cashier. The fittings
of the bank are handsome
and entirely modern, with
everything needed for con-
venience and safety. Mr..
Waite, with a partner, Mr..
Halloween, own a telephone
franchise and are extend
ing lines into the country in
all directions.
