PLAN SIBERIAN SEA ROUTES
Russian Authorities Seek to Estabilsh
Communication From lts
Pacific Ports.

Contrary to previous reports. It now
appears that the plans Of the English
captain, Webster. { establish regular
steamship communication between Eu-
ropean ports and northwestern Siberia.
by way Of the Arctic ocean and Kara
sea have been disapproved BY tho Rus
sian government, obviously for tho rea-
son that this bold undertaking., which
appeared to b entirely feasible. would
have diverted considerable tradic from
the Trans-Siberian railway. On tho
other hand, the Russian authorities are
furthering in every way the establish
ment OF communication by sea between
Pacific ports and northwestern Siberia
via Boring strait, says q writer In tho
Scientific American. A surveying party,
under Captain Grunf1eld, has proceed
ed from Yakutsk to Nishni Kolymsk,
at the mouth OF the Koyma river, to
make a thorough investigation Of that
port, and the g%eologist, j. P. Tolmat-
schew, will study the conditions OF
navigation between the mouths Of the
Kolyma and the Lena, including an
examination of the Lena delta. with a
view to establishing a sea route to the
latter region. The ~icebreakers
Taimyr and Waigatsch were to leave
Vladivostok in May for a surveying
expedition along the coast OF KAN
tchatka, after which they will proceed
via Boring strait to the arctic coast
Of Siberia for a cruise at least as far
west as the Lena. If ice conditions
prove favorable, these vessels will at
tempt to pass Cape Chelyuskin and
accomplish the northeast passage II

Good Reason for His Action.

In Germany during a war a captain
of cavalry was ordered out upon a for
aging expedition. He marched to the
district assigned to him. 1t was a
lonely valley, but finding in the midst
of it a small cottage, he knocked at
the door. 1t was opened by an old
man., who leaned upon a staff. "Fa-
Their" said the officer, "show me a field
where l may set my troop to forage"
The old man led them out of the valley
and after a quarter Of ar hours march
they came to a fine field Of barley.
Here is what we are in search Of"
exclaimed the captain. "Wait a few
minutes" said the old nan Follow
a little further" At the distance
of a mile they arrived at another field
Of barley. The troop alighted, cut
down the grain, trussed 1t and rode of.
The officer then said to his conductor:
"You have given yourself and us need
less trouble; the first field vas better
than this" very true, sir" replied
the good old man, hut it was MOI

The postmaster did not reply. He
caught sight Of q moving speck low
