BUILT BY ORDER OF CAR
City Of Hardin, Railway Center and
Military Depot, Has Also Become
Great Flour Center.

The city of Hardin was built to Or
der for the one-time car Of all the
Russias, who, in constructing the
Trans-Siberian railway, found that he
needed the little village of Hardin as
railway center and military depot.
Only little diplomatic juggling was
required, and the village began to grow
up and expand before the puzzled eyes
of it's peaceful inhabitants. The new
Hardin did not absorb the old part,
but was built beside 1t, so that the
farmers still continue to raise their
millet and wheat untroubled by diplo-
macy and troop maneuvers.
There are few Chinese and almost
no foreigners in the city. Russia dis
courages alien immigration, and by
agreement with China, only Russians
and Chinese are allowed to hold land,
construct houses or have any perma-
nent business interests in Hardin.
Russian railroad officials and workers
and Russian colonists and troops are
the chief residents of the entire neigh
borhood.
Hardin is called the 'f1at city" be-
cause of its position in the level val
ley of the Sungan river, with noun
tains protecting it on east and west.
1t is the -four center of the East. The
fields are covered with grain, and down
on the Sungari river front Manchu
coolies load endless junks with flour
ground in the modern mills of the
city. s.i,.,

HEART OF BRITISH EMPIRE
Good Reasons Why Trafalgar Square,
In London, Has Been Given
That AppelIation.

Trafalgar square has been called the
heart of the British empire, the most
truly English spot in London. It Is
not of Leicester square or of Picca-
dilly that London Tommy dreams, but
of Trafalgar square, with the statue
of Nelson in the center. The STATUE
on the slender column is Englands
bestowed hero. The figure of Nelson,
three times the natural size, is reared
145 feet in the air, with Landseer's
four lions of bronze at the base.
Many Of the most important build
ings of the city are grouped around
the square. The National gallery, with
its art collection, faces the Nelson col
umn. The collection was begun in
1924 and is one of the finest in the
world. In the upper part of the square
is the church of st. Martins-fn-the-
Field, where Nell Gwyn lies buried.
This last bit of information is apt to
interest the visitor more than the fact
that Bacon was christened at the
church's altar.
The column stands at the crossing OF
some of the most famous streets in
London. Charles the First walked
down Whitehall to his execution. The
Strand, branching from the square, is
the main artery of the city as we'll as
the favorite meeting place of the peo-
.ple. Busting, noisy, crowded, fond
~ believed by Londoners to be broad,
it is the busiest street in the empire.
The principal shops and many of the
hotels are on this street.

The Garden Of Eden.

The question Of the site Of Eden
has greatly agitated theologians; some
placed 1t near Damascus, others in Ar
menia, some in the Caucasus, others
at Hol1ah, near Babylon; others in
Arabia, and some in Abyssinia. The
Hindus refer it to Ceylon, one writer
locates it at the North Pole, and
learned Swede asserts that it was in
Sudermania. Several authorities con-
cur in placing it in peninsula formed
by the main river Of Eden, on the east
side CT it, below the confluence of the
lesser rivers which emptied themselves
into it, at about q degrees north lati-
tude, now swallowed up by the Per
sian gulf, an event which may have
happened at the universal deluge, 1884
B. c. Many, however, think that the
whole story of Eden is legend and
that, accordingly, the man who tries
to find its site is like the blind man
who looks in dark room for his black
hat that is not there.

Snakes as Pest pestroyers.

Snakes are not our enemies, says
Gayne K. Norton in American Forest
ry. They never attack except in self
defense. OF our Ill species only IT
are poisonous-two species Of Flaps,
coral snakes, and Is species of cro-
taline snakes, the copperhead and moe
casin, the dwarf and typical rattle
snakes. On the other hand, the help
they render is valuable. The pests
destroyed each year, especially ro-
dents that injure crops and carry COM
municable diseases, roll up large ball
ance of good service in their favor.
Rodents are destroyers of farm
products. cause loss by fire through
gnawing matches and insulation from
electric wires, and of human fife
through germ-carrying, particularly the
bubonic plague.

Useful Electric Lantern.

Among the numerous electric Ian
terms is a mechanical one, standing
about a foot high, that provides it's
own current. A spring motor, wound
up like clock, drives small genera
tor, and this supplies current for a
lamp bulb of 12-candle power. The
motor, generator and gov ernor are con-
tanned in base six by eight inches in
size. Such lantern is useful for the
camp, the farm, or other place, and can
be carried about in all kinds of
weather.

WANTED HIS MONEYS WORTH
Noblenan Evidently Had Some Idea
That Great Musician Was Giving
Him the Worst Of Il.

Wieniawski had his humorous expert
ences, this even after he was quite
widely known, writes Alexander Bloch
in the New York Times. On one occa-
sion he was asked by wealthy Brit
ish nobleman to state his terms for
playing half an hour at his home.
They came to an agreement, and on
the evening of the musicale Wieniaw-
ski opened the program with Beethov-
ems "Romanze in F."
He was playing his best and deeply
engrossed in the music when he sud
denly noticed out Of the corner of his
eye the host nervously looking at his
watch. This happened several times
before the "Romanze" was finished.
At its close, as he was bowling his ac-
acknowledgements to rapturous applause,
the British peer caught him by the
sleeve and whispered in his ear:
''For heavens sake, man, how much
do you expect to get through in half
an hour at this rate? Why do you
play such slow pieces?"

Actors are reverent souls, and what
they do not know about the men that
have made our poetry and set down
for the rest of us the thoughts that
we had not the time to utter, is of lit
tie moment. 1t is a tale of long ago
that the fair-wigged George Rignold,
who played Henry the Fifth in 1875,
and created a tremendous upheaval
among theater-goers all over the coun--
try, was seated one night in his dress
ing room when q caller appeared. A
portrait of the patriarchal looking
William Cullen Bryant was tackled up
over the mirror.

Steel Is Easy to Cast.

The English have just invented a
high7speed steel which is 50 etrong that
engines and guns and tools made of it
can be worked more rapidly than those
made Of any of the other steels. The
Popular Science Monthly magazine
says that tools of this steel can be cast
into shape, and casting is the quickest
known way Of making any tool.
There are few steels, however,
which, by casting them, do not be-
come brittle. "Cobaltcrom STEEL" as
it is called, nevertheless can be made
in this manner instead Of having to
be forged and rolled, two very much
lengthier and more expensive proc
esses.

A Raise in WAGES,

Everybody likes to have his wages
raised, and everybody feels a little
thrill of pride when he is told he is
going to be paid more for his work.
Did you ever figure it out that you
were being paid wages when you go
to school, and can have them raised
every month If you want to? Sure.
You study, and that's work. You get
paid for your work in knowledge. Sup
pose this month you bring home re-
port card which shows you have been
only fair in arithmetic. That's not
bad. But you want your wages raised.
So you work a little harder and next
month the report is good instead of
fair. You've had a salary increase.
That's the only way to look at it.
From the American Boy.
