The Worlds Coolest City

From the chicago Ifloune.
Verlxhoyansek, good sized city in
Northern Siberia boasts the distinction of
being the coolest inhabited city on the
gloae. 1t is in north latitude 81 degrees
on the Arctic plain, and scarcely more
than $50 feet above the sea level.
Its annual temperature is degrees
above zero and in winter the maximum is
S. degrees below zero. The Russian gov
ernment owns the town and is interested
in having an industrious Yokutus, fur
trader Jews of Siberia, carry on their op-
erations.
All. the inhabitants of Verkhoyansek,
witNthe exception of a few officials and
Russian traders, are Yollutus. The Yo-
futs are such ambitious and aggressive
people that they do not seem to mind the
fact that the rivers freeze to the bottom
and that small trees have been known to
snap and split from the biting force OF
the cold.
Still, many Russians, even, seem to. pre-
fer it to warmer posts. Its atmosphere
is always clear and the air still, and
there are no blizzards or snowstorms.
Then the Siberian dress adds considerably
to the enjoyment of this Arctic city. 1t
consists of two suits of fur. an outer and
an inner. and a huge hood to pull over
the face. so that there is just enough
space to see and breathe through
The summer is hotter than might be
Irea sonably expected, the average tempera-
ture being 50 degrees above zero in July.
The earth is green and vegetation thrives,
but the surface of the ground is scarcely
thawed

are we going to do with them-neglect
them, allow them to grow up and make

Austrian Trade Hurt bv War

atively new thing in the Austrian can

moderately successful.
Naturally the war has seriously af-
fected Austria's export trade with tho
balkans. which amounts to nearly
mate that they will lose at least a
whole year of this business. They have
had no money from the Balkans since
the war began. and they fear that n
considerable portion of the money due
them will never be paid. The textila :
trades In Bohemia and Moravia are the
heaviest losers. Leaving out sugar,
three -fourths of Austrias exports to
the Balkans are woolen. linen and cot :
ton goods. and all this trade was sud :
denly stopped. The result has heen
that many factories were compelled to
shut down and others are cunning only
half time.

trades are flourishins. The Balkan

For odd musical effects you want to
wander through the china department Of
some great store on day when they are

constantly picking up single pieces for

again among the other dishes ON the table
and the sounds produced as dish hits dish
are many and various.
From some big heavy platter you get
what might answer for a deep bass note
and from some. thin, tiny, delicate cup

notes between, sometimes confused and
mixed. sometimes heard running almost

Berlin, April 1o.--(special)- )-crown
Prince William and his wife. Princess
Cecelie. have broken boldly away from
Hohenzollern tradition and have decided
to build a pnodern. up to date residence
fitted with every modern convenience and
luxury. No longer will they occupy anti
quated. medieval palaces without heat,
without running hot and cold water and
adequate bathrooms, lacking proper ven
tilation and sewage disposal. These old
castlesa may be picturesque, and sur

lily, but they are far from being COM
Portable places to live and bring up chill
dren.
So the prince and princess are engaged
In building a new home that shall be a
palace befitting their rank, but at the
same time provided with every appliance
for household sanitation and physical
comfort that money can buy. Further
more, the furniture is being designed and
built in England.
A representative of a. London furniture
house has been here for several weeks
and the crown princess has made repeat
ed visits to Berlin to discuss designs with
him. Though the princess has many SYM
pathizers in Germany in her dislike for
furniture OF German design, the young
couple are risking not only storm of
Indignation from the Gerr0 0hn industry
WHEN the fact becomes known, but per-
haps permanent unpopularity from theiy
future subjects.
German royalty may not follow Eng
lish fashions with impunity. This was
shown during the life of the Emperor's $
father. his wife, "the Englishwoman,'
daughter of Queen Victoria and mother
of Emperor William, having been un-

The lemon, which is going to be dear
this year on account of a shortage in the
crop, has a very clear history. Unknown

Joke on Kaiser

A joke on Emperor William is always
related with particular relish by a con-
siderable portion of the German people,
and the telling of one story on his
majesty always brings out another. The
recital of how the Emperor had to COM
pensate tenant farmer at Cadinen with
600 and a decoration because of pub
lie utteranees rejecting on the farmers s
ability has set people casting about for
other anecdotes. A newspaper of Stettin
contributes the latest.
The Emperor, as every one knows,
has so many estates and farms scat
tered about Germany that he can find
time to visit some of them only at rare
intervals His majesty Is fond of his
role of farmer. and when he does make
visit of inspection he goes deeply
into all questions of preparation, pro-
gress and results. Naturally the farm
superirtendents are eager to make the
best showing possible.
Two years ago his majesty went to
his estate of Schmolsin. near Stolp, TO
looked over certain work in reclaim
ing moor lands for the pasturage Of
cattle. He expected to see large herd
CT fine stock, and he did. The super
intendent exhibited bunch of fat cat
tie to demonstrate the value of the
reclaimed lands. This was all very
satisfactory, but, according to the Stet
in paper, the cattle did not belong to
the Emperors estate at all. They had
been borrowed temporarily to create an
impression, in much the same way that
the famous peasants of Empress Cath
crime of Russia We're imported to trans
form the uninhabited wastes of south
ern Russia into booming country sides
