BAILWAYS WANTED,
Now, there are no quicksilver mines in Siberia. In spite of the strenuous prospecting for
quick silver just now, only sporadic traces are boing foual-chiefly in shallow surface "placer" golu mines. What a retarding the development of the country to-day is the lack of mitroads to
convey heavy material, iron, coal, and timber- However, ut the nidment, half a dozen impurisat lines are boing surveyed or actually under con- struction,

Though the Russian Government will not formally grant mining concessions to foreigners. the refusal is merely farce, for foreignors obtain dummy soncessionaires, Russian subjects, to whom the Government grants with shority. at a merely nominal charge and easy conditions, all the staked mineral-bearing land in reason. Cholera, the dangerous Asistio cholero, is rare, and there are on few typhoid epidemics. Drink-lio, ing water is unboiled at the chief hotels in the towns and at wayside post stations and cottages.
RIDING AUTÈIDE,
We have been travelling in Boasian-torritory for over ten weeks, most of the time in Siberia, and neither in very dirty passant hats nor in zematknís kvatyra-the village ian-forn or, country sledge, railway train or hotel have w come across one of those unwelcome little fre queuters of the British seaside ledging. There are a number of a small species of cockroach about on walls and floors, but those are harmless and add a pleasant air of animation to lonely

The Siterian peasant, and we have stayed or Kved in fourteen of his villages, and bad dent- ings with another score, ja nɔt hospitable. He er rather his wife, will not dream of cooking any food specially for a well paying guest. It needs a distinot effort to obtain boiled eggs; a plate of soup is more the exception than the rale, Butter and mük are frequently refused in a prosperous agricultural village, and there is no Joint of meat or fish. Though earning over 50s, a wook, a family will eke out existence on brand and to, with an ecossional treat of pirouabkies, or haslied meat balls.

Skipping over the developments of a thousand years best-building, a worthy Siberian peasant had taken the earliest type, a heavy one-piece pine-trunk canoe, and grafted on it a pair of small paddle wheels, one on each side, amidships.
