VINO has never left the beaten track Of
the railways in Russia how q great en-

worn snow.
The traffic is further cheapened over
these roads by the substitution of
sledge-runner for the wheel and axle.
This brings the cost of land carriage as
near the cheapness of water-borne
freight as possible and it is the princi-
pal reason why Russia in the twentieth
century is still u roadless land.

HEAD HUNTERS GETTING BUSY
Natives of Solomon Island Take Ad.

AT first sight there does not seem
to be very close connection between
the war In Europe and head hunting
In the Solomon islands. Nevertheless,
the one arises from the other.
Previous to the outbreak of tho
war, according to Vancouver Worlds
Sydney (N. S. W) correspondent, Brit
ish, and occasionally German war
ships patrollyed the islands and en-
deavored to keep down cannibnlism
among the natives, who are largely Of
Papuan or Malaysian stock. How
ever, the requirements for the trans
port of troops led to the recall of the
British warships-and the happy head
hunter has been free to follow his own
devious courses
In one raid made by a mountain
tribe upon small village near tho
/ coast no less than &c heads were sc
cured. No punishment followed be
| cause the whites were unable TO or
| ganiZe in time. AS consequence
the raids are growing more dangerous
and, although as yet no Europeans
have been attacked, planters have con.
stantly to keep on their guard.
