recently been released from a Fortress after

was so widespread, as to completely baffle those whose duty it was to suppress them. Extraordinary vitality was shown by the organisation, causing great alarm through-- out the Russian Empire. The year 1883 closed with rumours of attempts on the life of the then new Czar Alexander III., whose coronation had taken place towards the end of the month of May. The Nihilist agitation continued to smoulder during the following year, and a plot was discovered against the lives of the Emperor and the Czarevitch Early in October 14- Nihilists, including a staff officer, a lieu. tenant-colonel, and three women; one of whom was the wife of a physician, were tried at St. Petersburg, for high treason. One of the women, Vera Figner, alias Vers Filipava, aged 30, a priest's daughter, after B trial which was conducted in the Palaco of Justice with the greatest secrecy, and lasted a week, was found guilty of being the agent of the Nihilist society, and of häving taken part in the preparation of the bombs used in the assassination of the Emperor Alexander II., in the murder of General Strelnikoff, at Odessa, and in the Organisation of revolutionary societies in the Russian stay.

ence expressed in the type. The view has been intensified by the letter sent to the Sir Compton Admiralty by Admiral Domville, along with the report of the Committee, in which he indicated that ha Was * compelled to say that his experience - with the Belleville boilers on the Mediter. ranean_station, where he is in chief command, had been very favourable to them as steam-generators; and that no serious boiler defecta had been experienced in any of the ships. The state of affairs has continued, and for some months there has been almost an entire cessation of the little defects which were so largely magnified by the daily Press 'to the disadvantage of the water-tube stenm-generator. The explana- tion is probably that which we have repeatedly urged namely, that with -experience in manufacture, and especially with due regard to the enormous change general involved in stoking and in- working better results can be achieved. Engineering officers in the Navy now realise that more care is necessary; and we hope, alan, that there is a hetter appreciation on the part of the executive officer in control, of the importance of allowing sufficient time in harbour for an examination of the boilers, and the rectification of little defecté which threaton a breakdown. A voyage recently made by the first-class cruiser Terrible from England to Wei-hai-Wei and home, affords very strong evidence of the possibilities not only in respect to economy bat in steady working of the Belleville boiler, when satisfactorily equipped and controlled with due regard to its peculiari. ties. The Terrible, it may be remembered, was built some eight or nine years ago the Clydebank. Works, now owned by Messrs John Brown and Co Limited. This vessel and the Powerful were the first large vessels of the Navy to bo fitted with the Belleville boiler, although prior to this vory satisfactory results had been attained with the same type of steam-generator in the gunboat Sharpshooter. In these two cruisers many of the difficulties associated with a radical change had to be met; and since valuable lessons are more frequently learned through failure than otherwise, it resulted that in their earlier years these vessels gained, rightly or wrongly, an ill- rapute amongst those opposed to change generally in naval engineering. The boilers no doubt suffered more because of this extensive experimental work; but the voyage now made by the Terrible, after having had her boilers overhauled, clearly shows that the type of steam-generator may give satisfaétory results under favour- able treatment. The success in the French, Russian, and Japanese navies of the same boiler has further established the view.

yet elapen before it is opened for general public traffic. The railway in question has been a very difficult and trouble-some one to construct, and at the outset some un- certainty prevailed as, to the direction it should take,several separate schemes having been under consideration, and several years being necessary for the full investigation of the matter. The most difficult portion of the railway round Lake Baikal is the section between Irkutsk and the village of Kultuk, at the western end of the lake, whereas the section between Kaltuk and Mysaowoya, or, as it is now called, My- sovaya, where the Trans-Baikal Railway begins, does not offer any special difficulties. It was consequently possible to fix the line
period than was at first thought possible. The various contractors are expeted to have fared very differently so far as the pecuniary result is concerned, for the prices upon which the tenders were based were fairly uniform, whereas the quality and conditions of the work varied far more than was originally anticipated a fact which means unexpected additional profit to some, and the reverse to others. The varying hardness of the rook is best illustrated by the fact that at some tunnels the quantity of dynamite required per cubic sagene blaster varied from 5 lb. to In consequence of incomplete 60 lb, survey, the calculated expenditure has been exceeded by considerably more than 5,000,000 roubles, much of which comes upon the tunnels, on account of the addi- tional brickwork. The Baikal Lake is the largest-alpine lake in the world, its area being about 34,000 square kilometres. Its height above sea level varies a little, according to the different measurements, but is about 20up (t; at places it is very deep, some 2000 ft.; it has bút few islands,

of 1899, and to begin, the same year, the building of the eastern portion, 44 versts long, between Mysovaya and Pereymnaya; whilst the authorities decided to thoroughly examine the various projects for the section Irkutsk 1 Kultok before adopting any of them. The country which the railway has to traverse between these two places, west of the Angara, consists of mountainous heights that rise some 2200 it. above Lake Baikal, and which must be considered as the eastern ending of the Sayan mountains, of which the highest peak, the Munku- Sardyk, rises to a height of 11,600 ft. above the level of the sea. From these the Tunkinski mountains extend westward in the direction of Lake Baikal, their con- tinuation, the Zyrkuzum heights, going as far as the west end of Lake Baikal, eventually expanding between Lake Baikal, the Irkut, and, the Angara. The Irkut, which joins the Angara opposite the town of Irkutsk, has its springs on the Sayan

blood.
HOW TO TELL WHETHER YOU HAVE LIVER TROUBLE-One of the first signs of sluggish liver is, a feeling of weariness and dispondency (due to the impure blood stupifying the brain, and fail- ing to nourish the body).
