Raising Astrak,an Fur

Odessa, Russia. December 6.-(Speciai)
The increasing scarcity and high price of
karakule sheep fur known to the trade
as 'astrakhan," have led to experiments
in raising this sheep in Rursk. Poltava
and other central Russian provinces. The
home of this breed of sheep is I'm the
region about Bokhara, but the focks in
that district have either diminished in
size or deteriorated through cross breee.-
ing.
High grade animals were shipped to
central Russia, where they have thrived
and produced numerous progeny, when
met with ready sale to farmers interested
in reviving the industry. At first there
were many rumors that the change OF
climate was causing deterioration in the
stock. but this was found to be due to
accidental misbreeding.
Similar experiments have been made
in Germany and may succeed in the Lune-
berger Haide. even IL the rumors that they
have failed I'm other sections prove true.
1t is stated that the Germans are plan
ming to introduce these sheep into tha
dry regions of their possessions in south-
west Africa.

Grand Duke Consta,tes Neo Religious Drama Ofends Synod

the Pharisees and Sadducees; and the
washing by PLATE of his hands After
this comes some of Glazunoff' most I'M
pressive music The scene ends with the
procession to Golgotha. The fourth act
deals with the resurrection. In the dis
tanee is first heard the piping of a shep-
herds reed. The news of the resurree-
ton is being passed from ear to ear; and
in the chorus of praise and rejoicing the
curtain falls. One item of this act is
the conversation of many Knockers and
unbelieHers.
Grand Duke Constantine, In addition to
his soldier actors has got some of Rus
sia s best artists to play the leading roles.
The chief womens parts will be played
by Vedrinsky PushlIareVa, and Timme,
all from the Imperial theatres. Most of
the to-be-converted unbelievers are also
professional actors and actresses. The
gorgeous ballet has been arranged by Fo-
kin: and the scenery is being painted by
Bolduireff and Dubrovski the finest scene
painters in Russia. rs mere scenic pro-
duetion "The King of the Jews will be
one of the finest things ever done.
That is one of the chief causes of the
synods obduracy in censoring the play
The production is worldly" The synod
tural plays produced by persons of holy
life" and 1t points to the Obera ammergau
play. But 1t considers that the partici-
patton of professional actors, musicians,
and ballet girls makes the performance
act of sacrilege. Grand Duke Con-
stantine has in vain made concession.
In the original text, Christ was himself
to appear on the stage. the part. being
played by student In the Petersburg
Clerical seminary The synod forbade
the student to act; but declared that the
exclusion of Christ made no difference to
its objection.
Grand Duke Constantine's tussle with
the synod shows that this department
is the most powerful in the empire. No
other state department would take the
risk of overruling the whim of a grand
duke. Even the war office. though angry,
is helpless: and has to hold its hands while
all Petersburg laughs at the 1smailoff
regiment as "Constantine's Life Troupe
However, Grand Duke Constantine hopes
yet to win He is all the more interested
because he is writing another play, this
time on Abra hams sacrifice
Critics say the king Of the Jews as
poetry is inferior They liken it to the
Kaiser's ballet. "Sardanapolus.' because.
they say, IL will owe everything to gor-
eeous scenes and dresses. and nothing to
the authors genius. These critics say
that short lyrics are best suited to Con-
stantine's poetica bent. and that the
grand duke always fails when he attempts
sustained works.

TOWNS ON TRADING POST SITES
Indians Showed Good Judgment in
Selection of Locations

vancouver, b. c., December 6.-(SpeciaD
The historical records of the DEVELOPMENT
of western Canada contain many inter-
estlng narrations in connection with -
Hudson s bay trading posts
The company, which was established in
116o, by charter of Charles II, had tho
monopoly of the fur trade from Lake
Superior and Hudson bay out to The
Pacific. The whole territory was divided
into districts and the company employed
at one time 5000 traders, agents, voy-
ageurs besides many thousands of In
dians.
Each district had its trading post the
site of which depended upon the physi-
cal characteristics of the territory, and
in the selection of these sites the advice
of teh aboriginal guides was Invariably
taken 1t was only natural that the posts
should have been built in those parts
offering the easiest access to the sur
rounding country and 1t is a curious thing
wherever those old warrior chiefs se-
lected a site it has become or is destined
to be the great center of that particular
district.
Fort Garry. Winnipeg, Edmonton, Cali
gary, Fort Fraser, Vancouver, Victoria
and Prince Rupert are prominent among
the cities which. have sprung up in the
identical positions chosen close upon go
years ago by the northern American ma
tives.
The traffic which in those days natu-
rally led over the easiest grades to tho
territory surrounding these posts are to-
day In many instances the highways and
byways which are opening up the large
agricultural and Industrial centers of the
west. The annals of the times show that
land in close proximity to the Hudsons
Bay posts at one time or another changed
hands for mere song.

~ T. PETERSBURG, December e.
tSpecial)-Poetical Grand Duke
~ Constantine, Car Nicholas cou-
sin, is at open war with the Orthodox
Most Holy Synod, and at secret war with
the ministry of war. The cause is his
great religious, musical and dance drama,
Gear Iudeiski''-"The King of the Jews
The synod, with Herr Sabler in command,
declines to allow the play to be played in
public: and would like to prevent it even
being played in private. And the war Of
flee objects to the Grand Duke turning
one of the finest Muscovite regiments in
to a theatre and ballet school. The cause
of its objection is that Constantine when
he failed to have Gear Iudeiski' produced
on a public stage, arranged to have It
produced for a single performance on the
stage of the "Chinese Theatre at Tsar-
skoe Selo, which is the private property
of Nicholas II. And in order to get to-
gether personnel he commandeered two
officers and many soldiers of the Ismai-
loft regiment SO while the synod says 1t
is profanat tion to deal with the Christi
tragedy on the stage the war office says
it is proclamation to make a useful guards
lieutenant play the role of Pontius PLATE.
And that is what Grand Duke Constantine
is proposing to do
THE King of .he Jews deals with the
overwhelming drama of the last days of
Christ's life.- 1t will take 300 persons,-
actors, dancers chorus, and supernum-
eraries-to play it; and 100000 will be
spent on one performance which is plan
ned. This performance will take place this
month, when Nicholas II Is back from
Livadia; and the whole of ST. Peters,
burg is turned upside down by the vast
ness of the preparations. Twice week
Constantine personally conducts rehear-
sails in big hall of the officers club of
the Ismailoff regiment. The Ismailoff reg
iment is Constantine's own, and he has
written many touching verses about It,
But to commander a whole regiment in
times of international crises merely In
order to produce drama is not the idea
of war or drama held by the war office;
and resentment is deep. Discipline suf-
fers. The young officer who is to play
the part of Pontius PLATE last week did
