TREASURE HIDDEN IN RUSSIA

Treasures of gold and jewels are
still hidden In Russia. secure from
soviet acquisitions and robberies, their
estimated value mounting into the
hundreds of millions Of gold rubles.
Russian families, especially in Jewel
collections, were far more wealthy
than families Of corresponding means
in other countries, and it Is certain
that neither the soviet nor refugee.

HAVE NOT tanned" LIGHTNING
Expression Is Common Since Frank.
Inns Famous Experiment, but
1t is Not Accurate.

When we wish to speak figuratively
of our achievements in electricity we
are accustomed to boast that we have
"tamed the lightning" or something Of
the kind But In reality we have done
no such thing. Lightning Is a we'll
known natural electrical phenomenon !;
but the electricity that we use Is
drawn from another source-it was
"tame" to start with. To catch q
lightning discharge and reduce its
voltage so that 1t may be utilized Is
a different matter. 1t may be sug-
gested that the result might not be
worth the trouble.
Ever since Franklin's famous kite
was sent upon It's fight certain op-
timistic individuals have thought
that this pretty experiment was the
key to untold power and wealth. The
tumult caused by a severe thunder
storm has evidently led them to be-
lieve that vast quantities Of electricity
are tumbling about in the upper air,
and to render these available to man
needs only some method of tapping
the invisible reservoir. Now it has
been said that the quantity of electric
ity taking part in a flash of light
ming could be collected on a thimble
but the handling and restraining of
this thimbleful of electricity present
a problem which few electrical engi.
neers would care to undertake. 1t Is a
great achievement to use the water at
Niagara to drive a dynamo; but most
of us would hesitate at the thought of
employing a stream of rifle bullets for
the same purpose.

NO POLICE IN GREENLAND
Country Is So Law-Abidind That Off
GERS Of the Law Would Find
Nothing to Do.

The only country in the world that
has not single representative of the
law is Greenland. Here dwell $4,000
EskimOs and 240 Danes in settlements
scattered along the coast. Eskimos
manage their own affairs. Any griev-
ance they may have is settled by the
head man Of the tribe. There has
been no serious crime in the country
for the past hundred years.
The Danish government allows no
one to land there without permission,
which Is only granted to bona fide e1-
plorers and scientists. The sole OBJ
ject Of this seclusion Is to prevent
liquor and disease reaching the Es-
klmos.
All Eskimos are Christians, and
tn the larger settlements there are
fine churches, with steeSles, organs,
and oil paintings. Here you will
find Eskimo ministers and physicians,
as we'll as native newspapers, and an
Illustrated journal produced entirely
by Eskimo labor.
During the short summer vegetables
and various kinds of fruits are grown,
and even Strawberries under glass.
The coastal areas are a blaze of COL
