so THINKS FORMER SIBERIAN
MAIL, CARRIER.
Oscar lden.zeller Has Made Journey
From Moscow to Nome, Alaska,
And Says Autos Can
Do It.

Here is encouragement for the dar-
ing spirits who would attempt an auto |
trip from New York to Paris by way |
of Alaska and Siberia, for man who
has made the journey over the rough
est and most difficult part of the pro-
posed route thinks that automobiles
will be able to successfully negotiate
the snow and ice-bound regions of
both Alaska and Siberia. This man
is Oscar Iden-Zeller, 81 native of Ger
many, who has lived for several years
in Russia, and who was for four years
a mail carrier in the employ of the
Russian government, carrying the
mails with the assistance of reindeer
teams through the most inhospitable
and sparsely settled part of the great
frozen northland of the Russian en-
pire.
Mr. Iden-Zeller believes that the
journey by automobile can be accom-
plished, but makes no attempt to be-
little the difficulties, dangers and pri-
vations which the contestants will be
forced to undergo. The most trying
part of the trip, he declares will be
from East Cape, the first point on
Russian terrific reached by travellers
after leaving Cape Prince of Wales,
in Alaska, at Boring Strait. He kept
daily diary while on the way from
Moscow to Nome, and recorded many
interesting experiences during the
trip.
"A distance of 1880 miles will be
traversed by the contestants between
New York and Paris" he said. "Oi
this, 3,450 miles will be through the
arctic regions on Asiatic soil, where
a mans blood almost freezes ant

bred precautions will have to be takel

THE ROMANCE or A RUSSIAN
PRISON WARDER.
His Wife Liked Dainties and That Is
the Reason the Prisoner Never
Received the Cake with
Its Hidden Gun.

Among the prisoners under the
charge of certain prison warder at
Warsaw was a man named Schneider.
He was by occupation bookkeeper,
and his skill in that direction had at
length eliminated in charge OF fraud.
At the time of this story he was await
ing his trial.
A little while sufficed to show that
Schneider was suffering already from
the effects of prison life and fare
Learning of this his friends, havinS
discovered the warder under whose
charge Schneider had been placed, in
trusted to him daily baskets of deli
cacies for the imprisoned man.
At first the warder had demurred at
the proceeding, and had pointed out
that 1t was contrary to regulations for
| a prisoner to receive food from out
side. However, the advantage to his
pocket that the action afforded, even
without considering the pleasure 1t
! provided his wife and family to inspect
| and sample the delicious contents OF
the baskets, filled him with an I'M
wonted solicitude for his ailing pris-
oner.
So 1t happened that in few weeks
the regular arrival of provisions be
came a source of pleasurable excite
ment in the warder's house. More
did 1t become so when one day, among
other delicacies, handsomely-deco
rated iced cake stood out conspicuous
ly. This must be for the children, de
cided the warder's wife.
1t may be that 1t crossed her min'
| that what she contemplated was no
exactly in accordance with the ethic
of honesty. stu, the prisoner wa
aware that 1t was not right that h
should receive food from his friends
Thus she eased her conscience, ant
having determined to allow the pri'
oner half the cake, proceeded to Gu
through the thick coating of suga
icing. Further than this the knife r.

her husband after a further fruitlef
attack.

ated in frescoes. The walls likewise
are done in colors. The great cleo
troliers Of glass hanging from the
ceiling contain more than half a
thousand incandescent lamps, for oc-
casional use when the president and
his family or guests of state arrive or
depart at night. The floor is inlaid
with rare woods, highly polished and
waxed, and the massive furniture Is
of red leather and mahogany.
To enter this wonderful room, Mr.
Roosevelt does not go out into the
vesubule, the way hy which he came,
but passes through another door d.
rectly into 1t from his private apart
ment.
It ought to be made clear, however.
that convenience In the receiving of
important guests is only an incidental
object held in view in providing this
magnificent private railway station
for the use of the president OF the
United States.
It's main purpose is to secure priv
acy for the chief executive when he
arrives at or departs from the nation

scription above given looks forward
just a little, inasnuch as the union

and the presidential wing has not yet
received its furniture.
The use of the presidential wing of
the new station will bar all cranks and
other intruders such as dog the foot
steps of a president when he travels.
The Garfield tragedy, of which the old
Pennsylvania station was the scene,
could not have occurred had the presi.
dent been safeguarded as future presi
dents will be in this new station.

has served to stimulate fresh interest
in the countries with which the fleet
will come in touch. The pleasant
stop which the fleet has enjoyed at
Rio de Janeiro will In many of its
features probably be duplicated at
Montevideo, Uruguay, the next sched-
uled stop.
Uruguay is far enough south of the
equator to give the delightfully."- equa-
BILE climate of southern Call
fornia, and it is in what may be
called rural Uruguay that one must
go to really enjoy the country and
the hospitality of the people, who, by
the way, are largely English, except
for the natives. The railroads OF
Uruguay are undeniably good, but be
cause they penetrate only those re
gions where agricultural and CONNER
cial development are most advanced
they are of little use to one who de
sires to get into the real back coun
try" For this one must resort ethel
to a saddle horse or to a stage, tht
former, unless there Is baggage to b.
transported, being vastly preferable.
Rural Uruguay might be described
as England with Southern Call

as one receivesi The best the plac

the designs used in America showed
the greatest capacity for ignit'ng the
gases and rarely failed to do so. These
lamps were never allowed to go into
a mine abroad but are freely used
with no test in America. In connec-
ton with the experiment station a
gallery will be devoted to the testing
of lamps, and fans variously arranged
will draw all manner of gases over the
flames, and where there is danger the
use of the lamp will be protested
against.
The apparatus for sustaining life
! which Mr.. Hall has recently used will
| be freely demonstrated at the expert
ment station. 1t is held that when an
explosion occurs in a mine it's rending
| force usually leads down some main
| tunnel Men In this tunnel are torn
| to pieces and Immediately killed, but
those found dead in side tunnels have
usually been overcome by the gases
that have followed the explosion Men
often rush to the main tunnel and are
Immediately overcome. In the side
tunnels they may live an hour or
day until the deadly gases steal in
upon them.
Were the rescuing parties SO
equipped that they could Immediately
go into the tunnels they might rescue
many men who otherwise die miser
ably. The apparatus that the expert
ment station will test consists OF
canvas jacket which is fitted with
cylinders of compressed oxygen to be
: used when the need of 1t comes. These
f cylinders are connected with th'
mouth Of the operator by tube
There is a still further arrangement
| whereby the exhalations Of the opera
tor are passed through potassium
hydroxide, the impurities extracted
and the remainder returned to b
breathed over again. With this al
rangement the rescuer can remain 10
c considerable lengths of time in tn
foulest of airs in safety. They ar
g generally used abroad, but PRACTICAL
unknown here.
2 The investigators favor strongly tn

y lamps, rescue appliances, ETC., and II

under law. They hold that the co
le rect methods have been worked o.

~ Already several bills have been
troduced into congress this sessit
