Russia Is Roadless.

Russia is a roadless land. It is in.
conceivable to the foreign visitor who
has ever left the beaten track of the
railways in Russia now a great empire
can have subsisted so long and so sue
cessively amid the competition of the
rival states beyond Its borders with
out even a pretense at roads.
The secret, Of course. lies In the
fact that for five or six months in the
year Nature herself provides roads
over the greater part Of the expanse
of all the Russians, admirable smooth
CLASSY roadways over hardworn snow
The traffic is further cheapened ovel
these roads by the substitution of 8
sledge runner for the wheel and axle
This brings the cost Of land carriage
as near the cheapness of water borne
freight as possible, and it is the prin
cipal reason why Russia, In the TWEEN

VAST HERDS OF TURTLES

Concerning the great turtles OF the
southwest Indian ocean a traveller
says: The c%belonian, or green turtle
(Chelone mydas), Is ar animal OF con-
siderable economic Importance to the
atoll, for 1t still occurs In the vast
hordes which are so often described by
early voyagers in the tropics. There
appear to be two distinct g~roups-one
resident and small In numbers. the 9TH
err migratory and visiting the atoll to
breed In numbers impossible to es-
innate.
THE latter arrives in December, and
from then to April the sea seems alive
with turtles. The females seek the
small sand beaches and then ascend
them with the rising tide. pushing
themselves iaboriously above high tide
mark. Holes are then dug in the sand
by means of the fore fippers un-
til a satisfactory one is obtained
and the eggs, 200 In number. are bur-
led, the turtle returns to sea imme-
dlately.
After 40 days the eggs hatch, al
most simultaneously, and the young
turtles dig their way up out Of the
sand and 60 down to the sea in a long
procession, in the course Of which
they offer an easy prey to their en-.
emies, the 'frigate birds and herons'
Once In the sea sharks and other large
fish eat them. and only ten per cent

SUED FOR STEALING CORPSE

A strange case occurred at Johns

dispute between two undertakers con-
corning the burial of the body Of John
Vorchik. One Of the undertakers.
John Gaydos. and half a dozen friends
entered the room in which Stephen
Brady, the rival funeral manager, had
laid out the body in q casket, and
knelt about 1t as II in prayer. When
they arose they grabbed the casket
and carried out the corpse before the
dumfounded mourners could inter-

ried the casket to the Gaydos estab-
lishment, transferred the body to an

REGULATIONS ON QUALITIES OF

VIII BE More Definite and Dogmatie
Than the Advanced" Faith Of
the Present, Is Opinion
of One Writer.

Theorists concerning the religion Of
the future usually plant themselves
upon one of two assumptions: that the
religion Of the future will necessarily
be better than that of the past; or
that 1t will be ~characterizs ed by fuller
allegiance to certain views now held
by opponents Of socalled advanced
thought"
We see no reason for knuckling IN
der to either Of them, says the st.
Louis Republican. 1t does not neces-
sarily follow, because all things
change, that they must need change
for the better. Architecture in Paris
in the thirteenth century was so in
finitely superior to the architecture OF
the present day as to be impossible OF
comparison with 1t. Oratory In the
United States senate in 1920. just 81
years ago, was so far beyond the ora
tory of today in form, finish and inner
spirit that 1t Is difficult to realize that
