Washington. Aug. ACCORDING
to high foreign diplomat the terms
of the triple alliance are as follows:
Article If, contrarily to what
may be hoped and contrarily to the
sincere wishes of the high contract
ing parties, one of the countries
We're to be attacked by Russia, the
high contracting parties are bound
to lend each other reciprocal aid
with the whole of their military
power, and subsequently, to con-
clude no peace except conformity and
in agreement.
If one of the high contracting par
ties were to be attacked by another
power the other high contracting
powers bind themselves by the pres
ent act not only to uphold the ag--
gressor against their nigh ally, but
at the least, to observe a benevolent
neutrality with regard to the con-
tracing parties aforesaid
Article IT.-lf, however. in the
case previously mentioned, the pow
er attacking were to. upheld by
Russia, whether by way of active CO.
operation or by military measures
that should threaten the power at
tackled, then the obligation--of recip-
rocal assistance with entire military
forces obligation stipulated in Ar
ticle of this treaty-would imme-
diately become executory. and the
military operations OF the high con-
tracing parties would also, in such
circumstances. be conducted Jointly
until the conclusion of peace.
Article lII.-This treaty in con-
fOrmity with it's pacific character
and to avoid all false interpretations
will be held secret by all the high
contracting parties.
1t may only be communicated to
a foreign power with the knowledge
of the three parties and after spec
ial agreement between them.
AS TO the triple entente its con-
tents have never been published
1t is known that the relations of
France and Russia constitute a
strong rapproachment. while SIM
liar understanding exists between
France and England.

Where Such Weather Is
Common Thing.
THE SOIL EXTERNALLY FROZEN
To Depth of Hundreds Of Feet
Excpet For Two Months
In Year.
MONEY PRACTICALLY UNKNOWN

The Siberian natives of the vast
Siberian Province of Yakutsk, ex-
tending clear into the Arctic Ocean,
in the section around the town of
Verkhoyansk dwell in what is prob
ably the earth's coolest region.
Here the soil is eternally frozen
for hundreds of feet downwards
and the mercury frequently records
so degrees below zero. At the
height of summer only yard of un-
frozen soil veneers the admixture of
earth and ice. affording foothold for
the gray tundra moss and occasional
patches of bilberry, dwarf willow
and grass.
Though the spot is dignifed by
having its name on the map and is
usually referred to as a town, it is
more correctly a struggling village
of Yakut Yurtas, or semi-under-
ground huts, and few one-story
log cottages, inhabited by Russian
administrative Ollicials.
For ten months the country is a
dreary, trackless set of driven snow
During the brief summer thaw of
two months the tunda. as the open
country is called, is AN impossible
swamp
The chief possessions of the ma
tives are reindeer. dogs and breed
of very robust ponies. Through the
long winter the reindeer and ponies
subsist on the moss beneath the
snow. which they dig up with their
hoofs.
Most of the natives live in ''yur-
tas," crude wooden huts, the sloping
walls of which are covered with a
thick layer of turf and stones. For
window glass" they use OK bladders
in summer and sheets of thick glass
of poor quality in winter. Along
the walls inside the dwelling run
mares. or benches, that serve as
seats by day and beds by night.
The yurta is divided into two
parts. To the right, as you enter.
are the quarters of the women, chill
dren and cattle; to the left dwell
the men. The natives cannot read
nor write. and money is practically
unknown. All trade is done by bar
ter. The valuable fur pelts are OBJ
tanned by white Russian traders who
give black Russian tea. tobacco.

and other much coveted and use
full products of civilization to the
primitive natives in exchange.
The usual way of capturing the
sable is as follows: AS soon as the
first snow falls, the trapper sets
out, generally mounted on hardy
Siberian pony and attended by his
faithful dog. Sometimes the trap
per knows beforehand where the an
imal is to be found. but. as rule,
he is guided by the tracks of the
squirrel. Squirrels undertake very
wide journeys in search of their ia
vorite cedar nuts and other food.
so that occasionally there is ver-
liable migration of the animals. and
the sables follow them. The trap
per is warned of the presence of sa-
BILE by his dog, which drives the
quarry up tree. The trapper pro-
eeds to set fine horse-hair net all
around the tree at "A distance of 90
or so yards. The trapper and his
dog then withdraw to Il little dis
lance. The sable soon descends and
quickly becomes entangled In the
