Stockholm Always at Its Best When

The best time to get your first look
at Stockholm is by night AS you
come up the channel you see the town
all traced and fringed with chains Of
light. The ordinary illumination OF
the Stockholm streets and Quays
makes them look as though the city
were decorated for a fair. They are
lavish users OF electric light in SEe-

Their favor seems to shine on any
thing that works by wire Take the
telephone, for instance Without COM
piIing statistics, it is a pretty safe
bet that there are more telephones
per capita in Stockholm than in any
other town on earth They have ap-
parently more phones than any city
needs and then again as many on top
of that The latter circumstance IS
due to an inscrutabIe arrangement
which works long and short distance

Of one phone in your room, you have

Not far from the palace is the par

man on earth who may not cross the

Stockholm has a particularly beauti-

Russia,s Natural Roads.

Russia is almost a rOadIeSs land. It
Is inconceivable TO the foreign visitor
who has never left the beaten track OF
the railways in Russia how a great en-
pire can have subsisted SO long and so
successfully without even a pretense at
roads The secret lies in the fact that
for five or six months in the year ma
ture herself provides roads over the
greater part OF Russia-admirable.
smooth, CLASSY roadways over hard
worn snow.
The traffic is further cheapened over
these roads by the substitution Of q
siedge-runner for the wheel and axle
This brings the cost OF land carriage as
near the cheapness OF water-bOrne
freight as possible and il is the princi-
pal reason why Russia in the twentieth
century is still q rOadless land
