4he article " IN answer to five
submitted questions, and is as fol-
lows: $3.50 sees :
question HAS not Russia afforded
t.sa limited states ground for abro-
satiug fine treaty Of 1882 by her
violation in excluding United States
citizens, especially of Jewish faith?
Answer-No, Russia has not at
forded the United States ground for
asrogating the treaty. The treaty
a 1892 was made exclusively for
commercial purposes, and clause
Ii the very first article stipulated
that American citizens arriving In
RnssiR. and Russian subjects arriv-
ing in the United States should be
subject to the internal laws and
regulations of the respective coun-
tries. The entry of American citi-
zens of Jewish faith into Russia Is
not absolutely prohibited With re-
speet to them as to other American
citizens and In strict accordance
with the stipulations OF the treaty,
oar country enforces certain rules.
These rules were established by Rus
sian Internal legislation which per-
msts the entry into Russia OF for
eign Jews only in definite cases.
The rules have been in force ever
since the treaty was concluded, and
there never has been any cause to
doubt the legality, and there could
not be any, because the enforcement,
as before pointed out, was stipulat-
ca in the treaty itself.
Question--Has Russia treated
American citizens of Jewish descent
differently In respect of their priv
iIeges under the treaty than 1t has
treated other American citizens not
Hebrews?
AnsWer-Yes, Russia has treated
American Jews differently from the
very beginning. 1t has treated them
exactly on the same basis as all
other foreign Jews without excep-
ton Nevertheless, not single civil
ICED country ever disputed the right
of another country to define for IT.
self classes Of undesirables, because
under the principles Of international
Law this right is the absolutely in
contestable prerogative Of ever Gov
eftgn power. Guided thereby, the
United States established exactly In
the same way in immigration acts
classes Of undesirable aliens, de-
termined by qualifications of an eco
monte, sanitary, moral, social and
even religious character. American
legislation, for instance, prohibited

and there from the passengers, but they
evidently produced no effect upon him.
He stood looking at the woman, wait
ing for her to pay her fare. At last
he made final demand and, receiving
only the usual response of means, took
her child from her and handed him to
trainman. Then he pulled the bell
cord.
While the train was slowing up
Baker stood mute in the aisle, the wo-
man redoubling her means. Cries of
Coward" ''Dogw "Pigr' "Brutew
greeted the conductor. He paid no at
tention to them, though there was a
strange look in his eye. When the
train came to full stop he took the
woman by the back of her dress and
hustled her off on to solid ground.
Then he turned upon her and rained
blows upon her with the rapidity of a
Calling gun. That his feet should not
be idle he kept them at work kicking
her shins.
The car windows were thrown up,
and a score of passengers had their
heads out the windows, crying "Stop
him" Don't let the hound kill
womanw won't some one put an end
to this barbarity?" and many other
remarks Of similar intent. But a pro-
miscuous crowd is never apt to do
knight errantry work unless some bold
spirit steps forth to take the lead. So
Baker pounded with no other interior
ence than words. Finally he gave a
jerk on the would be deadhead's dress
that tore it from neck to skirt, leav-
ing mans vest beneath.
Then for the first time the onlookers
realized that the widow was not even
a woman, much less a mother. Baker
went at the man again with redoubled
vigor and when he had pounded him
almost to jelly stopped and said:
"You spotter! So you're still playing
your game, are you? l recognized you
the moment saw you as the man 1
passed and gave a quarter to more
than year ago. You caused my dis
charge, and my family nearly starved
to death. You've rugged yourself up
as woman and borrowed the child to
help you keep up your contemplate
work. Take that"
Again the blows fell on the spotter.
But there had been a change of sym
pathy. 1t had passed from the spotter
to the conductor. The cries were now:
Lay it on, CONDUCTOR "Give 1t to
himw "Hlt him again.
When Baker was satisfied he called
to the trainman to put the child down
beside its parent" signaled the engi-
neer to go on and jumped on the train.
AS it pulled away the passengers
shouted derisively at the spotter and
when he was out of hearing clustered
around the conductor, vying with each
other for an opportunity to "shake."
When Baker reached his terminal
and handed in his report he went home
for the night to delicious, invigorat-
ing slumber he had not enjoyed since
his discharge.

Blinds Sense of Direction.

1t is well known that most blind
people become aware when they are
approaching an object or even when
an object is very quietly brought near
them. There has been a great deal of
speculation and not a little expert
menting concerning this sense, which
has received many names-sense of
obstacles, facial perception, sense of
direction, feeling at a distance, and
so on, says a writer in knowledge.
The accounts that the blind them
selves give of their perception are very
contradictory. Some investigators have
regarded the sense as a fine facial
touch sense, others as due to heat
waves, others as sensitiveness to
changes Of pressure in the air, others
as auditory. Recent experiments of an
ingenious kind made at the Institu-
ton For the Blind in Paris have led
NJ. Truschel to the conclusion that the
perception is of an auditory nature
and due to the fact that the object
reflects and alters surrounding sounds
To the objection that deaf mute has
been reported as showing the power
he answers that those deaf to music
and speech are often sensitive to very
feeble noises.
