ART IN ICE.
Wonderful Palace That Was Built by
Czarina Anne Of Russia.


The use of ice for architectural pur-
poses is an art that has been carried
to high state of perfection in north
ern countries. and some almost incred-
ible feats have been accomplished in
this curious branch of industry.
Probably the most remarkable build
ing constructed wholly of ice was the
palace built on the Neva by Czarina
Anne of Russia in 1882 The first at
tempt to construct this building was
unsuccc ssful, us the slabs of ice were
too thin and the building collapsed in
the first thaw. subsequently large
blocks of ice were cut and squared
other by skillful masons. who cement
ed the joints with water. which imme-
diately froze. The building when COM
pleted was fifty-six feet long, seven
teen and n half broad end twenty
high. 10 was of but one story. The
facade contained door surmounted
by an ornamental pedlment and six
windows, the frames and panes of
which were all of ice. An elaborate
balustrade. adorned with statues. ran
along the top of the facade. and nm
other balustrade surrounded the build
ing at the level of the ground. The side
entrances to the inclosure were flanke1
with pillars supporting urns, the lat
ter containing orange trees, whose
branches, leaves and flowers were all
of ice. Hollow pyramids of ice on each
side of the building contained lights
by night. The grounds were further
adorned with life size figure of an
elephant with his mahout on his back.
A stream OF water was thrown from
the elephants trunk by day and a
fame of naphtha by night
A tent of ice contained a hot bath.
in which persons actually bathed.
There were also several cannons and
mortars of ice, which were loaded with
bullets of ice and iron and discharged.
The interior of the building was com
pletely furnished with tables, chairs.
statues, looking glasses. a clock, COM
plete tea service, ETC., all made OF ice
and painted to initiate the real objects.
A bedchamber contained n state bed
with curtains. dressing table with
mirror. pillows, bedclothes. slippers and
nightcaps, all made OF ice. There
were ice candles, burning naphtha and,
most wonderful of all, an ice fireplace
containing burning ice logs-i. e., blocks
of ice smeared with naphtha and then

A QUEER LEGEND.
vedor kosrioh, the Hermit, May Have
Been a Russian Gar.

Ysdor kosrioh, the Hermit, May Have
Been a Russian Czar.
A curious legend is associated with
the name Of Alexander |. of Russia.
1t is to the effect that the emperor in
1926 was sojourning in the Crimea.
When near Taganrog his coach chman by
some means managed to overturn the
carriage of court courier named
Markof. who was killed. The en-
peror. wishing to rid himself of the
cares OF state, so the story runs. caus-
ed 1t to be reported that II was he
himself who was killed. Then he car
ried out plan which he had for long
conceived of retiring to Siberia and
living there under an assumed name.
Schilder. the historian, processes to
have satisfied himself that at all
events the remains In the Cathedral
of Peter and Paul are those of the
courier. Schider asserts that he learn
ed this much from the children of
Markof.
According to the legend, Alexander
!. of Russia died in Siberia in 1864.
but history records that he died at
Taganrog in 1926. 1t seems that in
1926 a mysterious stranger appeared
I'm Siberia. He gave his name as Fe-
dor Kosmich and never revealed any
other or the place whence he came.
He lived the life of hermit and was
received generally with respect. In
1856 he accepted the invitation Of
rich merchant to take up his abode in
his house at Tomsk. There he was
very retired and held communication
only with Mile. Kromof and the mer-
chant. her father. Every one who
saw him was struck with his ex-
traordinary resemblance to the de-
funct czar. The Grand Duke Mich
olas Michailovitch contributed an arti-
Gle in the Revue Historique In which
he denied the sensational part OF the
story. but admitted that the hermit
of Siberia might have been a natural
brother Of Alexander I.-London
