Russian church Architecture.

Nothing shows more clearly how
far from the main stream of Europe
the currents OF Russian life have
flowed than the architecture of the
Russian churches. The new church
OF the Redeemer, erected in memory
of the grandfather of the present czar,
which was dedicated by the czar in st.
Petersburg few weeks ago is a good
example of the prevailing Russian
style. 1t is not Gothic, nor Greek, nor
Roman, nor yet Renaissance. The in
fiuences which have fixed the Russian
church architecture are Asiatic rather
than European, remarks the Youths
Companion. The predominating arches
are Indian rather than Roman, and
the domes, with their bulging sides,
come from Asia and the non-Christian
races. Russia itself was in closer re-
lations with Asia than with Europe
till Peter the Great turned the face of
the empire westward and began the
recreating of semi-savage nation into
European power by building his new
capital in close contact by sea with
the western world. But the choice of
the oriental type of architecture for so
splendid church as that recently ded-
icated proves that the influence of
Asia is still strong.

winter ProteetIon Of Plants.

The following suggestions for the
protection of plants against damage
during the winter are made by the
Colorado Agricultural College:
The protection of small plants dur
ing winter is simplicity itself. The
canes of bush fruits are entirely COW
cred with earth, while strawberry
beds are well coated with straw or
strawy stable manure. Peach trees
are even laid fiat on the sground and
covered during the winter The town
of Loveland has, during some seasons,
shipped more red raspberries than any
other shipping point in the United
States. yet every cane is protected
during the winter.
Raspberry and blackberry canes
are bent over till they lie nearly fiat
on the ground where the tops may be
held with pegs, a forked stick, or with
a few shovelfulls of earth One or two
burrows with turning pillow on either
side will now usually cover the larger
portion of the canes so that the job
may be completed easily with spade
and a hoe. In many localities the
canes grow too long to be easily,
handled, so they must be cut back to-
a convenient height. This is done
late in the fall after growth has
stopped. If done earlier, side branches
Will develop and they are undesirable
under these conditions. Grape vines
are protected in the same way, but
the fruit requires a much longer sea-
son in which to mature and conse-
quently should not be included in this
class. Currant and gooseberry plants
might also be protected in the same
way. but it will seldom be found nee
essary.
The plants should be covered before
hard freezing weather comes on. ana
is usually done about the first of No
vember in this locality.
The covering of strawberry plants
should not be applied quite SO early.
Strawberries are often injured by
becoming too dry, so provision should
be made If possible so that this con-
dition may not occur at any time dur
ing the winter
Good Judgment must be used in un-
covering the plants in the spring. If
removed too soon. they are liable to
injury by late frosts. and IL left on
too long. growth will start. New
growths under these conditions are
unnatural and therefore weak. They
usually die when the plants are ex-
posed, and this results in much dam
age.
Considering the high price that
small fruits usually command. it
would appear to be matter of great
economy for many people to grow
fruits for home use. At any rate the
danger Of winter killing of the plants
need not stand in the way.

re the Pole bx Bear Power.

Capt. Roald Amundsen, the exp1or-
er Of the northwest passage. is the
latest aspirant for the honor of discov-
ering the north pole. Capt. Amund-
sen has a new scheme. He Is not
going to take any chances with air
ships. motor sleds or any other artifi-
cial achievements of modern ingenui-
ty. His motto is: Back to nature =
He proposes to use things that are at
home In arctic conditions. His motive
power will be polar bears. The nor
NAL polar bear as he is found at large
would have some disadvantages In the
role OF domestic animal. His temper
is not amiable, and it would be hard
to keep him in n proper state OF dis
cipline, even with a club. The only
effective argument with him is a gun,
preferably at long range. But Capt.
Amundsen purposes to employ bears
that have never heard of the call of
the Wild He is having them trained
as cubs. SO that by the time they grow
up they ought to be as docile as
horses. When he takes them north a
trip to the pole will be mere pleas
ure taunt for them. The colder and
meaner the weather the better they
will like 1t. II they come 20 break
in the ice. such as the one that stopped
Peary, they will enjoy swimming
across. With sea flesh for their food
they can live on the country. Accord
ing to Capt Amundsen a bear is ten
times as strong as horse and can
haul as much as hundred dogs. With
six bears, therefore. he win have co.
horse power. or 600-dog power. More
over, when tanned. polar bears are
''tractable. reliable and affectionate."
Even IL they should eat their master
in moment of forgetfulness, remarks
Golfers, no doubt they would regret
II afterward.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26-Consulsr
Agent e. Alexander Powell, writing fur

Its methods in the pursuit of trade may be

Gently dispatched to Egypt a representa-
tive with instructions to report on GER
tain questions likely to affect the conf
pany's operations, Care was taken to Sc
lect for the task a delegate Of broad sym
~pathies, having an intimate acquaintance
with the country, and speaking Arabic
as well as the principal European Lam
guages. On his arrival he joined forces
with two colleagues possessing great local
knowledge, and the plan these pioneers
of ommerce pursued was simple, thorough
and efficacious.
AN adequate list OF questions was
drawn up, and then the three inquirers.
working independently of each other,
CLEANED replies to the queries from widely
different sources. One confined himself 70
sounding high functionaries and govern
ment officials; the second catechised mer-
chants, agriculturists and traders. while
the third questioned the laboring and lower
classes in all three cases native as well
as European opinion being consulted.
Eventually they compared notes, and in
the result the report of the delegates was
doubtless very near to the actual truth.
This narrative constitutes a typical ex-
ample of the thorough methods pursued
by British and European firms trading in
the Levant. methods which It might well
nav American manufacturers to adopt.
''The next point to be dealt with is that
of openings for American trade. There is
one most important point which | wish TO
emphasize. and it applies to all trade
with this part Of the world, Prices should
be quoted c. /. T.. and measures should he
given in those Of the country. If this
cannot be done, they should at least be
given in the metric scale. Very few Of
