Price's book "Si berlu." Mr. Price encountered this ex. tie at Minusinsk. He and bis family lived In a large bouse, oud bis actual punishment seems to consist of a cer tain social ostracism consequent upon banishment from the treat centers of Husslan life. When 1 went to call upon blni bo came to tbe door bluiself and, showing me In through a room where be and bis wife bad been baring tbeir even ing meal, usbered me into a room be yond. I noticed bis calm, philosophical face was tbat of a man who bad evi dently endured mental strain with stoi cal fortitude, but bis. wife, more nerv ous than be. showed signs of former anxiety. It seemed strange Indeed that 1 should be sitting in company witn two members of high Russian society, now ostracized by exile to Siberia, and stranger still to partake of tbeir Intel ligent conversation on topics or human Interest First of all I was interested to know what sort of restrictions were placed upon tbe exile's liberty. 1 found that be was not allowed to leave tne dis trict In which be resided and tbat ev ery week he bad to sign his name In a book kept at tbe bouse of tbe cblef nacballnk. With that exception his life was free. He hod money, and be could live as be liked and go where be wished within tbat district, bat he was continually watched by spies, who dogged bis footsteps wherever he went "He related to me how be had ac quired gold concessions on the Mo& siollan frontier and was hoping to find capital to float a syndicate for working them next year. This was not at an my idea of the life of a Siberian exile. Instead of being made to work him self In the galleries of the gold mines till death released him from his chains, the exile now floats mining syndicates." Want Ads FOR SALE 160 acre timber land. B.

Tbe photographs of 25,870 standard plates show the points, or images, of 100.000,000 suns. These have not neon actually counted, but plntes secured by exposure iu telecnnieras to typical regions of the sky have, aim the enure number bus been subjected to the cal culus of probabilities, resulting In tbe general number of HKi.OOii.tHHJ coiossni suns. These have been weighed that is. their combined foue r gravitational attraction has been computed. This led to one of the most overwhelming discoveries-mi mi'l.v. this entire pull of attractlous of the. quantity of matter Jn 100.000,0(10 suns as massive as our own sun could not even begin to im part the high speclllc speeds of several well known "numwa.v" nj. These are dashing through what has been named space with velocities so much greater than all other suns that they are a class by themselves. Our sun contains times more matter than Is iu the earth, and this multlnlied b.v 100.000.000 reveals the quantity of matter known to exist, be yond all human imagination. But this immense mass may almost be ignored as a mere fraction in comparison with the cleantle ounntity necessary to im part a velocity of from 150 to 200 miles per second to these suns flying athwart the sidereal universe. Let the number of these suns or dark bodies run up to trillions or octillions, then the'entire Quantity of matter in all of them would be less than the weight of one grain of Band if com pared to an Infinite quantity of matter. -Edgar I.uclen Larkin in New York American.
