NO TRUTH IN TRADITION
Old Legend Of the Drowning Of Prin.
cess In Petrograd Fortress Proved
to Be Without Foundation.

The fortress Of IS. Peter and Paul,
in Petrograd, has an evil reputation
as the formes place of Imprisonment
Of many Of Russia's idealists, includ-
ing Prince Kropotkin and Madame
Breshkovsky; but one blot on its
'scutcheon is removed by an illustrated
article in the London Sphere. The
article reproduces painting by the
Russian artist Flavitsky, showing a
beautiful woman standing ON her bed
in a cell in this prison, seeking to es-
cape the rising waters Of flood that
threatens her life. This was the Prin-
cess Tarakanova, who had incurred
the enmity Of Catherine the Great. The
tradition is that she was drowned, by
order Of the empress, during the in
undation of 1777. The Sphere, how
ever, shows that she died of tuberculo-
sis two years before the flood swept
through the fortress. Thus this gloomy
prison and the great empress are re-
lieved Of one Of the tragedies with
which they have been associated
The Outlook.
