women have been accused of being
possessed Of an uncomfortable pas

Some idea Of the danger OF random

that London is still the most eosmo-

undoubtedly are potential spies.

had attractive manners, and were not
hampered by any %chaperon. So they

Confined Attention to Officers.
Perhaps there would not have been
anything very strange about this but
for the fact that these young women

They invariably turned the cold shoul-

Another curious thing about these

any man for more than 20 minutes
or half an hour. Perhaps they would
have q cup Of coffee with him or
smoke a cigarette, but In a few min
utes the women made some excuse and
went away.
Still more suspicious was the fact
that several Of these Russian women
were seen to be constantly conversing

The Great Wall Of China.

Scientific American: An exami-
nation of the bricks and mortar in
the great wall OF China was recently
made at Shanaikwan by ]. {. Witt.
a chemist attached to the bureau OF
SCIENCE. Manila. Mr. Witt reports
that the bricks are so weak that
pieces may be easily broken off with
the fingers. They are much larger
than Ordinary building bricks, gray
in color and resemble pumice some
what in structure. The mortar is
pure white. The tradition that the
bricks were dried in the sun only
was confirmed by laboratory tests.
Ii they had been dried in a kiln the
appearance OF the wall would have
been considerably different and lis
strength and durability would have
been much greater. The general ap-
pearance and analysis OF the mortar
indicate that 10 sand was mixed
with the lime.

PINE FORESTS MILES LONG w
Dominican Wood Said to Be at
Least as Good as Long-Leaf
Yellow Variety.

Commerce Reports: There is 4
pine forest estimated to contain
about 100000 feet in the central
part OF The Dominican republic.
The pine timber extends from about
eight miles to the southWes; OF San
lose de las Matas to a short dis
tancc east and southwest OF ara
bacca. The main pine forest is from
five to twenty miles long. There
are, however, scattering pines to
the west OF san lose de Las Matas
as lar as the Haitian border, and
also to the east of Jarabacea San
lose de Las Matas is about twenty
five miles from Santiago de los Ca
balleros, which is connected by rail
road with its port, Puerto Plata.
larabacea is about fifteen miles
irom-L La Vega, which is also joined
to its port, Sanschez, by railroad.
There is not, however, railroad
into the pine belt, which would
have to be built in order TO get out
the timber.
The pine in the Dominican re-
public is said to be at least as good
rs the long-leaf yellow pine Of the
Southern states.
The pine in this island is very
sound, free from windshakes, and
rich in turpentine. The trees are
straight, clean and hold their thick
ness well up TO the first limbs.
There are but very few rocks or un-
dcrbrush i'll the pine forest, and
while the trees do not run very
thick, there are some lorty-tWo
inches in diameter There are but
few varieties of other kinds OF trees
in the pine belt although there are
a few walnut trees in the vicinity.
There are nine saWmllIs i'll this
region which cut pine principally
for the local markets, One OF these
mills is owned by an American, and
the others by Dominicans They are
all equipped with American ma
chinery. The output OF these mills
does not begin to meet the local
requirements, as about S00O,OOO feet
OF pine are annually imported into
the Dominican republic
