some friends in Paris a private let
ter in which he excoriated the Rus

which he moreover expressed his most
vigorous disapproval OF the f1oating

that the money obtained from French
investors was being squandered In
the most outrageous manner. and that
they ought to be warned publicly and
privately against intrusting any more
Of their savings to the Russian gov
ernment.
Instead of sending this letter by
special messenger he confded 1t to
the ordinary postal service. with the
result that it was carefully opened
before it reached the Muscovite
frontier and it's contents copied be-
fore being forwarded to Its destina-
ton. OF course, the Russian gov
ernment could not take any cog
nizance of the abusive document.

admit that 1t had been opened and

they were endeavoring to float in

to demand his transfer to some other

Roads 1000 Years Old.
From the Adventure Magazine.

From the Adventure Magazine.
The Roman empire was intersected
by roads, constructed principally be-
tween the second and fourth cen
turtles after Christ These highways
varied in width from eight to fifteen
feet, and were almost universally
built in straight lines without regard
TO grade. probably because the use
of beasts Of burden as the chief means
of transport made the preservation
of the level an affair of minor i'm
portance. Soldiers, slaves and Grim
inals were employed in the construc-
tion of these highways, the durability
Of which is shown by the fact that, in
some cases. they have sustained the
traffic of 1000 years without material
injury. The Roman forum Is said to
have been the point of convergence
OF twenty-four roads. which, with it's
branches. had a total length of 52,904
Roman miles.
The Romans are said to have
learned the art OF road building from
the Carthaginians.
