Vast Resources of Siberia

Siberia is destined one day tO become the richest country in the world. for fl has a natural wealth so diversified, and as yet almost untouched. that, IL hns no rival in the old world. How vast this wealth is Is described by A. Hammer in La Nature.
 Before the war Siberia was predBc- ing from 100000 to 100000 tons of flour q year As grazing country t has no limits and 1t exports large quantities of leather tall0w and but ter. It's forests are almost Inexba aus- tible and 1t supplies furs to all the world.

Some of these have as yet scarcely been touched.
 The Kouznetz basin possesses also great deposits of iron ore, estimated to contain 1G.500.000 tons. Iron occurs in large quantities in many other re- giens.
 Other metals that promise wealth to their exploiters are copper t5.600 tons Of which were mined in 1913l. gold lead, zinc, manganese, wolfram. tin, antimony, cinnabar, mercury. sulphur saltpeter, graphite. naphtha, quartz. sulphlde and salphate of soda, white clay and common salt.

One of the Greatest Successes of the StaQe

 What's the matter?' said Charles.
 Simply this" said Barrie. "You know l have an agreement to deliver you the manuscript of a play ?"
 "Ycs," said Frohman.
 Well, l have 1t all right" said Barrie, but am sure 1t will not be s commercial success. It is dream child of mine, and l am so anxious to see it on the stage that l have written another play which will be glad to give you and which will com pensate you for any loss on the one l am so eager to see produced" Don't bother about that" said Frohmsn. "I will produce both plays"
 Now, the extraordinary thing about this episode is that the play about whose success Barrie was So doubtful was "Peter Pan, which made several fortunes. The manu- script he offered Frohman to in- demnlfy him from loss was "Alice- Sit-hy-the- Fire" which lasted only . season.-Charles Frohmsn, Mana ger and Man.
