A White Night in tussiz,
.The particular journey herein re-
corded fell on a white night in June
—one of these eerie white nights
against whieh the Russian or Siber-
ian traveller carries a canny blue cur-
tain. Without these blue guards,
sleep is out of the ,question and the
senses, pursued by the penetrating
light, are as ragged as the beggars
staring out of the stations. Verst af-
ter verst, hour alter hour,' the plain
unwinds endlessly, monotonously like
wool from a skein. A pale incandes-
cence tangs liver the earth, fringing
objects ghostly. Trees blur, in the
half-light and grow phenomenally
large; izbas and wind -mills scrape
the sky. A tremor of prinaitive terror
runs through one's limbs. One calls
to the hills for deliverance — but
there is not even a rise in the ground,
With midnight springs up a delusive
promise of respite from the light; a
shadow creeps reassuringly over the
earth, but it is dusk and not dark-
ness. There is no _reprieve. At
eleven the sun dips below the hori--
zon; at two -thirty it balances again
like a replenished bag, spilling its
orange and amethyst flood over the
earth. The relentless cycle has be-
gun again; and stilt the plain •un-
winds endlessly, monotonously,—
brightly now. At seven one reaches
Nizhninavgorot. If it is June, the
sun` has been. up five hours.—Yale
Review.

London street humor expressed it-
• self in the "busker" who by rapid lme
personations of such war celebiatiee
as Haig, Beatty, Joffre and Pershing,
did his best to amuse the queue form-

my famed impersonatiop of the
tank. ' A shade of curiosity passed
over the crowd, sucoeeTled by real
amusement, as the fellow, passing to
the head of the queue, whipped off
his hat to make the usual collection.

P-inland's Long Struggle for Greater
National Freedom.
Finland, by detaching itself from
chaotic Russia and establishing , a
republic of its own, is but 'repeating
and extending history, for this is not
her -first struggle upward to the light.
After almost a century under the des-
potism of the Czars this land 9f

GEN. SAIdEt
rail's order or his °Wu initiaave,
showed all,these despatches to Cail-
laux and to. Malvy, at that time .Min-
ister of the Interior,- and acknowl-
edggd to be Caillaux's representative
in the Government.
It is alleged that copies were then
made, which were handed by Malvy
to Vigo, the editor of a Paris news-
paper, and a close friend of -Malvy's,
and by him turned over to a German
named Gold:achild, masquerading as
a naturalized. Frenchman of Polish
birth under the name of Goldsky.
_Then Goldsky, provided with all ne-
cessary passports by- Malvy, went to
Switzerland, where he met a German
agent, ,to whom the documents were
given. It is said that these reports of
Gen. Barran all dwelt upon: the won-
derful strength of the Bulgarian posi-
tions, and urged that no attack
should be made upon them. Despite
Sarrairs - recommendation, however,
the allied Governments were deter-
mined, upon an advance, whose pure
pose was to ald the Roumanians,
theneknown to be on the verge of en-
tering the war. Nevertheless, Sar -
rail's army did not move, and while
Sarrail may be ,able to give sound
military reasons for his failure to foie
low the instructions -he had received
from -headquarters, his enemies sa,y
that he is responsible, jointly, with'
German agents in Russia, foie the dis-
aster to the, Roumanian array.
It is said that the Germans knew
exactly whet was happening at Salo- -
nica and exactly what Sarrail would
do just as they, knew what was going
forward in Petrograd and what ac-
tiqn their agents there would take to
betray Roumania.. What remains to
be' proved is ' the. responsibility of
Caillaux, Malvy and Sarrail for this
state oy affairs. Their intimate con-
nection cannot be dented, for, accord-
ing to Cunliffe Owen, who writes on
the subject in the New York Sun,
Caillauxe has long considered Sarni'
his particular representative in the.
army. At one time, ' when the ex -
Premier had more influence than, he
hatto-day, when as the real head
of the Socialists in the Chamber, • he
could command 200 votes, he plan-
ned ta have Sarrail brought back
krom Salonica and imposed on the
allied armies as generalissimo. What
disasters might then have been ex-
pected one does net like to consider.
Caillaux has long been a notorious
hater of England. Sarrail shares these
:views, and his reports to the French
Government are said - to have been -
loaded with venomous remarks about
his British colleagues. It is known
that this sentiment was heartily . re-
ciprocated and- that Gen. Sir Bryan
Mahon. insisted upon being recalled
rather than longer associate with
Sarrail.

difficult matter, since it must not emit

Prevents a third-eittes train journey

soothed by placing one across the pit
of the lgtoinach. In the Russo-Japa-
nese war many a benumbed soldier
saved. niraself by placing one in his
boeom. In the preeent war Russia
ordered a large supply for her sol-
diers, en& iinrnense quantities have
been shfehied to that country-.
The excellent feel now used in the
-Pocket, stove was invented in jee2
by Tochigi, lathe Proviiiee of Shimot-
euke, and'a company was formed by
the leading tradesmen of the town
for its niarcutaCture. As the -article
was .left to private, houses ,,for mak-
ing, the quality was n.ot satisfactory,
and sd the mayor of the town bad a
ptoper" factory established in 1904,
the object being to give work to
widowS and orphans of the Russo-
Japanese war; and: a trust. has since
been formed for tlie manufacture of
the ntel, and the quality has been
greatly improved, The annual pro-
duction rose to a ;value of about
58,000 yen, but the orders from Rus-
sia have increased! the trade a hun-
dredfeld. Notv the output is valued
at abut 160,000 yen a year. French
missienaries from Japan introduced
it into France, and now there is a
considerable export to that Country.
Although. Tochigi invented the fuel
for the pocket stove, the town has
not been mucli heerd of in the trade,
as the Tokio .ancl Osaka merchants
bought up the otttput, and it could
only be obtained from them.
The materials from which the
pocket stove fuel, Is made are hemp
stalks, mulberry, the kozu and the
fatalpa plants and a, kind of vegetable
oil, as well as pulverized nut rinds
and corn cobe. But the best is made
from hemp stailts from which the
fibre has been taken.. These are turn-
ed into charcoal. The method is sim-
ple. A big bundle of the hethp stalk
Is put in a hole in the ground like
a' furaace, lighted and smothered so
as to smoulder without air until car-
bon. ' 10 produced. This is peunded
in a mortar. Fifty sen worth qf raw
material makes up into goods soidlor
2.50 yen, The farmers•devote spare
time to this oceupation, a,nd make
an extra penny. The material thus
produced is sent to town to be made
into rolls for th,e pocket stone.- As
the raw material from whieh theefuel
is made cannot he used for anything
'else,, the profit is great, usually abeut
80 per cent. In the final 'composition
of the kwairo-bat a little saltpetre is
used to facilitate combustion, and,
also, the leaf of a tree resembling
the maple is used to stick the powder
. together.
Of the fuel there are two kindseone
used for the bosoin stonre, and the oth-
er for bed use, , The former is soft,
and the latter hard. The fuel has to
• be, put into the tiny. stove very eare-
