AN INTERESTING account of
the travels of the Siberian ex

Bastward from a little river settlement
known as Dudlnka, on the Yenisei, in
about 68 degrees north. But the pros-
of finding, alone the route, na
tives who have not come into contact
with Europeans was small, and conse
quently the idea which I had at first
entertained of reaching by this means
i lupgus, who were the objective
the journey, was abandoned. An.
other route the one which we finally
decided to follow was suggested to
by a Tungus. The startine nnint
was the village of Monastir (Turuk-
hansk), also on the Yenisei. This Is
the most northerly Doint in the Rus-
9lan empire where there is a post of
fice, to and from which mails are
sent at more or. less rather itinrn
than less lengthy intervals.

.ley from Monastir, and who came in
with the first heavy Snowfall, strongly
advised me to abandon my plan of
spending the winter in the tundra; we
should find no gold there certainly
not in the winter, at any rate so that
I should bring out nothing more than
I took In. Indeed, we should probably
return if we did return diminished
in respect ot some of our most essen
tial personal belongings a finger or
a nose or an ear.
When the first Tungus those who
had made their camps for the winter
fairly near the village began to come
in for supplies, I made haste to begin
negotiations for sledges and reindeer
for the journey. It was difficult to
make them understand what exactly I
wished to do.
But at last I found a man to whom I
was able to make it clear that I wished
to go Into the heart ot Tungusland, to
visit and talk with the Tungus, passing
from tent to tent across the Limpllsk
tundra that stretches for some thou
sand versts between Turukhansk and
L, Yessel the latter lying about 300
versts within the arctic circle to the
northeast of Monastir, which is just
wuth of that parallel.
Tents Are Like Wigwams.
The Tungus are nomad reindeer
breeders, and the conditions ot their
life as such make It necessary for
each family to live at a comfortable
distance from its nearest neighbors.
A reindeer herd In Its search tor moss
ranges over a large extent of territory,
so that the distance between two en
campments is hardly less than fifty,
and may be as much as one hundred

one or two tents ot shape and con

dian's wigwam. When the most In the
neighborhood of the camping place Is
exhausted the family moves on to an

NEW PALACE
Steps are being taken In England
toward the establishment ot a perma
nent British empire fair, representing
all the Industries and natural re
sources of the empire, tayt an ex

now arranging a combination, through
their trade associations, to erect a
building at Wlllesden Green to be

fifty acres has been chosen, and it It
planned that the exhibition will oc

"Eat much," was the guide's advice;
laugh much, and keep your feet dry.
Then you will be all right."
Indeed, I found his advice good,
worthy to be borne in mind continual
ly in a country where the midwinter
temperature not infrequently falls to
between 80 degrees and 90 de
grees Fahrenheit. The great problem
is how to keep your feet warm on the
sledges, since it is well not to have
your legs Incumbered with too much
covering in case of an upset .
It is of first rate importance to re
member always to beat oft the snow
clinging to your fur boots before en
tering a tont, or at least before ap
proaching the fire.
At the Tungus Table.
The Tungus are great eaters. Their
diet consists principally of fish and
reindeer meat, which they eat either
raw or cooked. It takes some time to
adapt oneself to the conditions under
which food has to be taken sufficiently
to be able to eat with appetite. It
needs all the philosophy you can sum
mon to your assistance to accustom
yourself to the dirt and the smoke
and the congested condition of the
tents, but it Is unquestionably much
easier and safer to face the cold
and the wind on a full stomach than
on an empty one.
"And laugh much!" Indeed, no work
would have been possible without
"laughing much" and make your inter
locutors laugh. What appealed most
strongly to their sense of humor was
my "foreign accent" in speaking Tun
gus. They are a cheerful people, and
though not apt to be communicative
about the things I wanted to learn, a
lively story or an opportune jest would
usually put them in the right humor
to relate a legend, full of tribal cus
tom, or subject to be measured an
thropologically.
The use of more than a single cup
ful of water for washing is held as
great an extravagance as a bath in
champagne would be among us. Foi
water in winter Is precious since it
has to be obtained by the tediour
process of melting ice or snow.
Strong Love of Country.
The attachment of the Tungus tc
their native land, strong and even
passionate as it is, cannot be said to
be Inspired by, or to inspire, any vis
ible appreciation ot its beauty. When
the northern lights turn one-balf ol
the sky into a field of pulsing flame,
the Tungus herdsman turns an indif
ferent glance northward and sums up
the whole magnificent spectacle with
a casual "It burns" his only expres
sion for this phenomenon which, in
spite ot Its frequency, always filled
us with a new sense ot wonder and
mystery.
The shadowy ravines, the vast
frozen moors bounded on all sides by

IE POLICE WORK
hiladelphia Bluecoats Had Job
Rounding Up Goats.
Youthful "Shepherd" Had Neglected
His Duty, and the Guardians of the
Peace Were Called on to Re
lieve Distress.
Must a policeman In the faithful per
formance of duty chase stray billy
goats? Must he round up lost "nan
nies" and carry them to the station
house, so they won't eat rubber plants
on Blue hill? The question "has the
goat" ot all the policemen in Ger-
mantown and Chestnut Hill and
there's a reason.
Likewise the goats that graze on
the greensward of an Italian colony In
Cosgrove street, off Haines street,
have the goat" of many residents of
Germantown and Chestnut Hill.
Recently the police have been irri
tated by telephone calls from Irate
householders telling how goats were
chewing up the landscape.
Matters came to a climax when Mrs.
Helen Carr of 450 Cosgrove street
telephoned to the Germantown police
station that her daughter could not go
to school because she was afraid to
venture where the goats would shove
her off the sidewalk and chew up her
dress. The police decided to suppress
the goats then and there. A patrol
wagon loaded to the gunwales started
for the goats.
The policemen knew where the
goats belonged. They knew that Fe
lix Puscano, 616 Haines street, kept
the goats for the milk they gave for
the poor people of the Italian colony.
And the policemen heaped maledic
tions upon the head of Joe Puscano,
the seven-year-old Bhepherd of the
herd, whose duty it was to keep the
goats off the lawns.
After half an hour's exercise the po
licemen got the eight goats into the
police wagon and took them to the
station bouse on East Haines street.
They were locked up in horse stalls,
like any other prisoners. Came an
hour later Felix and his shepherd son,
begging for the goats. It was supper
time and the colony wanted its daily
rations of goats' milk.
After much parley the "billies" were
released under ball to keep the peace.

TOO MUCH FOR THE WORM
Combination of Silver and Copper
Makes Its Imprisonment a Most
Effective One.
A strange and amusing experlement
is described by G. Hugo in the Elec
trical Experimenter, aB follows:
Place a copper coin on a silver coin;
the former should be at least three
sixteenths of an inch smaller all
around than the latter. A cent and
a half-dollar will do; an English half
penny and a silver dollar will do bet
ter, because they are larger. On the
copper coin place an ordinary earth
worm and watch It try to crawl off.
It cannot do it, for the instant its
damp body, which is in contact with
the copper, touches the silver it starts
current of electricity that gives It
a shock. The shock makes the worm
recoil. It tries again, but each time
its head touches the silver it gets the
shock and soon' finds it is more com
fortable to stay on the copper coin.
Of course the current thus produced
is very Blight, but It is quite enough
for the worm.
Problem for the Court.
A perplexing problem in bovine ju
risprudence recently taxed the legal
attainments of local Jurists, says the
Portland Oregonian. A bull and an
automobile tried to occupy the same
space at the same time, In conse
quence of which the bull went to his
final reward to appear before tho
great high court whence no appeals
lie, while the owner appeared before
a more mundane tribunal, claiming
damages. Tbe theory of the defense
was that the collision having occurred
at night the bull was guilty of contrib
utory negligence In not having lights.
Tbe plaintiff promptly pointed out that
the bull had no horns to serve as chan
deliers. Thereupon the defendant In
sisted that tail lights should have been
furnished. Charles J. Schnabel and
J. B. Ofner, attorneys for the plain
tiff, Immediately called the court's at
tention to the fact that the bull had
two bull's eyes, which served the same
purpose, In which view Judge Joseph
H. Jones concurred.

STORY OF TWO WATERMELONS
Englishman Wat Perfectly Satisfied
He Knew What He Wanted In
Ordering His Dinner.
That familiar things have different
names In different countries was dis
covered by an Englishman while be
was visiting the United States. Thus
he tells the story ot the watermelons:
I was eating dinner in an eastern
city, and saw on the menu, "Watermel
on." We have watermelons in Eng
land, but they are what you in Amer
ica call "muskmelons." Therefore I
called the waiter and said: "Bring me
two watermelons."
The dusky waiter's eyes grew large,
and he protested:
"But, sah, you don't want two wa
tahmelons!" I am not accustomed to have waiters
tell me what I want. I knew perfect
ly well what I wanted. I saw some
people at the next table smile at each
other, and I was vexed. Therefore I
replied to the waiter with much dig
nity: "I want two watermelons."
The waiter seemed about to protest
again, but thought better of it, and
went away. While he was gone, I
looked round and found everyone with
in hearing distance smiling curiously.
Looking further, I saw another waiter
Betting down before another man a
plate containing an immense round of
something green outside and bright
red within. Then I spied my own
waiter returning, bearing on each up
lifted palm an immense green oval.
No wonder the people smiled! The
smile was about to become a laugh. 1
thought I would die! Then an Idea
came to me! When the waiter reached
my place, I looked at his burden quite
Judicially, tapped each of those ele
phantine "watermelons," and then
gave my order in a calm, decided
tone:
"Bring me a slice from this one."

Lord Reading said at a dinner in
New York, apropos of Germany's pro
posal to get back from the allies In
the shape of a war indemnity all her
war expenditure:
'That proposal savors of the Impu
dent. It reminds me of the son to
whom his old father said:
' 'Yes, George, I've decided to retire
from active life and turn the business
over to you.'
But, father, can t you work a few
years longer, and then we can retire
together?'"

There was a suden rush of work
and the foreman was short of laborers.
Going out into the road he found a -muscular
looking tramp loafing at the
corner, Here was a possible recruit.
"My man," said he genially, "do you
want work?"
"What sort of work," asked the
tramp cautiously.
"Well, .can you do anything with a
shovel?"
The tramp suddenly beamed at the
speaker.
"I could fry a slice ot bacon on it,"
he said eagerly.

The Bible Again.
"Daisy," remarked the teacher,
"don't love your cat too much. What
would you do If It died you wouldn't
see it again."
"O, yes, I should see It In heaven."
"No dear, you're mistaken; animals
cannot go to heaven like people."
Daisy's eyes filled with tears, but
suddenly she exclaimed triumphantly:
"Animals do go to heaven, for the
Bible says that the promised land is
flowing with milk and honey, and if
there are no animals where do they
get the milk?"

"Yes, sir. She can powder her face,
