Tlio Trans-Siberian railroad will tx > com-
jilotcd 'within ono jcar to nil practical pur
poses by tbo tltno the navigation opens In
the uprlng several jwirs In advance of the
expectation of nil Kuropo save Russia. Trav-
clors may take an unbroken railway journey ,
which will bo moro than two-fifths of the
distance around the oarth. Russia will have
n line of steel through her vast territories ,
iiho will ha\o accomplished one of the great
est victories of all time. "Great arc the
battles that are fought In time of peace" IB
the kcjnoto of Russian policy as expressed by
the crar , and thin great railroad Is a double
triumph , commercial , In which America ,
fcharcs , and political , In which China la vi
tally Interested.
Without doubt the much discussed eastern
question Is solved. The Russians hold the
Jtcy. Her policy In Asia Is distinctly to pro-
lion. I first told them what -we could do.
They were not willing to bellevo me. They
would n k , 'How much Is so and so' ' and
'Can you compete with Kngland ? ' Thev had
no Idea of America as an exporting nation.
It was , therefore , not alwaja a question of
prhe , but 'le there such a place as America
where they cm really do thefle things ? ' The
Russian Idea was that Americans were
bluffers They thought wo bragged a lot ,
but could do little. To n Russian , America
was known as 'Vankoeland. ' Kven the word
'Yankee' Is adopted Into the Russian lan
guage , and It Is the name by which an en-
orprlslng man goes. They connected enter-
'prise with Yankee because thev knew of
us as Inventors of sewing machines , tel
ephones , phonographs and wonders of delicate -
icato mechanism. In the regular way of In
dustry , machinery of heavy and powerful
kind , they did not think it possible that
America knew anything about manufacture.
When I offered them American boilers Hicy
laughed nt the Idea of America maklbg boll-
ors. They wcro Importing hollers from
Hngland and thought that boilers made out-
tjldo of England wcro not worth anything.
The English , by the way , took advantage of
this Idea by charging a good WK price. When
I came Into the market I offered boilers for
about half of what the English manufao-
turcrs wcro dcmandlnc. "

So strong a prejudice dl 1 Mr. Frlcde find
against American tools and machinery that
when ho offered our goods to the engineers
ho had to duplicate English or Herman ma
chines. In fact much of machinery was
known only as English or Herman. Amer
ican machines -were said to be light they
tlmo ago Czar Nicholas II announced his
plan to abolish the Siberian exile ftjatem.
Australia was once England's penal colony
and great as arc the capacities of Australia ,
they are not to be compared with those of
Siberia. Russia builds towns along the line
of her great railroad and then populates
them. Manchuria IB being settled In Just
this way now. The other nations are waking
up to the fact that Hussla Is the most act
ive power In the world With the nld of
American methods and Implements she Is
completing her road years ahead of the time
estimated by the Imperial engineers. "Orcat
are the battles that are fought In tlmo of
peace. " and Hussla Is winning great battles
now. She Is settling the Chinese question
In a new and energetic way. She Is civiliz
ing China by Industries. Wherever Russia
goes rapid change takes place. Manchuria
Is awakening from a sleep of centuries and
the whistle of steam engines on rnllwnjs
and In phops Is a good alarm clock. It Is
plain -that England does not clearly appre
ciate how rapidly the Russians arc moving.
An late ns August of the present year n
prominent London weekly , referring to
Manchuria and the transcontinental railway ,
makes this statement : "Those who knew
thla corner of Manchuria In the sleepy days
when the mandarine * held uncontested sway
will prolnbly bo very much astonished when
the curtain is rung up by the present actIng -
Ing managers and the world Is Invited to
tend Its ships nnd merchandise Into the new
Russian ports. " The English evidently still
believe that they have four or five years
before they need toworry about keeping

Bervo the Independence nnd Integrity ot
China. Meantime Russia helps herself to
what aho wishes ; tlio gaining of Manchuria
now makes her domain exce-Bl in extent that
of England. The new railroad , extending as
It will t-oon , to the very wall of I'ekin , will
nialto much moro posslhlo for the northern
empire. It is a significant fact that wherever -
ever Russia hullds a railroad the country
mound becomes Russian.
It Is to American sldll and ingenuity that
a largo shnro of credit for this commercial
triumph should go. Three years ago Amer
ica was not represanted In the Siberian rail
way construction market ; she has since dis
placed nil other nations. Early in ' 97 , M.
Soigey Krledo , a prominent member of the
Engineers' club of Now York , became con
vinced that American Implements and rail
way supplies could bo sold In Eastern Si
beria. Ho was thoroughly familiar with
conditions there nnd had , as ho Bald , "per
fect cotilldoucci in the possibilities ot Amer
ica " The story of America's commercial
conquest In Manchuria and Siberia Is ono of
the most Interesting chapters In the history
of the railroad ,
MNtrnrd niiI llt'llrrril.
"When I reached Vladivostok , " said Mr.
Trlcdc1 , "I found that the local engineers
would not llston to what they regarded as
wild stories ofwhat America could do In
the line of manufacture of tools and ma
chinery. The great Russian engineer , lugo-
wltch , waa elf In Manchuria on his way to
fiungari river. So I executed a Hank move
ment , went to Ncuchwang , and by going
north Intercepted the Russian party near
the Sungarl rher. I found these men were
willing to hear what I had to say. At that
tlmo ever > thing was being- supplied by Eng
land and Oormany. English manufacturers
thought HuB3la had to como to them and
that no other country could compote ; and
Russia would have gone to them , as fhe
had before1. If I had not gone there nnd told
of the possibilities of America. "
It Is curious to note that 'before ' this tlmo
America's export trade with Russia
amounted to a very little.
" 1 rraiomber when I first told the en
gineers tbnt America could supply nails
cheaper than England could , " Mr. FMedo
went on , "they laughevl at me. At the pres
ent time there nro no other nails there ex
cept the American. Then tho-o was the
question of England's supplying the com-
n.'irtlal Iron , As a matter of fact , this Iron
wnn ordered t > y mo In this country after
wards. li | the case of rails , Russia Intended
to supply thcao herself , but found that her
O\MI \ mills could not turn them out as
qulcldy us they wcro needed and America
came In again. The first order was for 30-
COO tons. The Joke of it waa that the order
was placed with an American firm through
an English agency "
"How did jou succeed In turning Russian
attention our way ? "

looked -\voll-and could do strange tricks ,
but were not massive.
"What bettor proof , " said Mr. Fricdc , so
emphatically that ono could not help shar
ing his enthusiasm and conviction "what
better proof is there for the superiority of
American machinery than the fact that an
American machinery plant Is being set up
with complete equipment In the capital of
Germany ? The facts speak for them
selves. "
Before Mr. Frledo opened up to our coun
try the vast possibilities of trade in the far
east , a few American machines found their
way into Russian trritory , and these only
after being 'bought ' for the Gorman market ,
shipped to Germany and from there sent
along with German goods into Russia. Amer
ica had never directly approached the Indus-
rial market In Hussla or Siberia before.
"I went to the consumer , " Mr. Frleclo
continued , "to the consumer whom I knew
would bo a big consumer. I know there
must bo a great demand for railway con
struction material , and It was only a ques
tion of telling the consumer that 1 had a
> otter machine than ho was using , could de-
Iver it sooner and give It to him for a cheap
er prlco than any other country cculd. In ad-
litlon to thla I told them that wo could
: urn our goods out much faster than any
foreign manufacturer , and no matter how-
largo the order wo could take care of It.
As for transportation , we were further away ,
but wo hnvo l\\o ways of Bettlns there ,
whllo Germany and Kngland have but ono.
Wo rexich from both sides. The usual way
Is , of course , by ship from New York and
through Suez , but when wo must save time ,
wo scud overland nnd ship across the Pa
cific. I am paying hundreds of dollars for
freight in order to get tralnloads of stuff
o\er to Vancouver , Seattle , Portland and
San Francisco. From our Pacific ports the
goods are taken to the terminus of the Jap
an-Nagasaki line and transhipped right
into Siberia. "

Forty locomotives are now on their way
and sixty moro will soon follow. American
btcel rails to the extwit of 50,000 tons will
bo laid In Manchuria , and largo orders are
being filled hero for electric supplies an 1
material for equipment of cars and stations.
Hallroail crosstlcs from Oregon , tools from
Ohio , steel rails and locomotives from Ponn-
sjlvanla will make parts of this great rail
road nnd Its furnlbhings.
"To what extent has America lx > en able
to overcome the English and German mar
ket ? "
"In everything ! " exclaimed Mr. Frledo ,
"everything from a nail to anthing jou
fan think of In railway construction wo
ha\o been able to sell In Siberia. Wo have
driven all competitors from the field. Why ,
what clso could they do ? Wo had the best
machinery nnd building material , could
sell It chewper nnd get It there quicker than
any ether country. Dee that not epeak
well for American skill and Industry ? Hut
I had absolute confidence In our ability. I
was confident of BUCCOFH before 1 started and
I was not a bit disappoint ! .
' A great change of foellng toward Amor-
lea , as an induetilal nation , took place after
the Introduction of American tools and
methods and not a few odd results. When
the first rock drill waa put into operation
the coolies went on n strike. It wae nn
American characteristic which might better
ha\o not been Introduced , The natives
thought djnamito a work of the devil.
The Cossack guard , however , not belonging
< o the coollo union , perhaps , refused to join
the strike , and after tying up the road for
three days the frightened natives went back
to work. "
UfTecl of tlir Hnllrnnil ,
It Is dllllcult to estimate even commer
cially the effect of this great railroad. Mil
lions of ncrre of the moU productive wheat
land in the world IB belug opened up for
cultivation. The vast territory of Slbeiia
lias almost boundless resources. A short
Hussla out of Mongolia nnd Korea. The
United States is not striving for a political
foothold In China , but in mechanical and
mercantile affairs our people are gaining a
strong place In the far east. Less than three
> ears ngo not n single American product was
sent direct into Siberia. Today American
locomotives pull American cars laden with
|
American machinery which American tools
have put Into placo. The United States has
been farsecing enough , 'through ' the energy
of her Industrial forces , to get what Lord
I Curzon calls "an Intelligent appreciation
of events before they occur. " Wo have been
able to participate in ono of the big battles
of peace. What civilizing force can be com
pared to the railroad ? And where is civil
ization moro needed than In the countries
now being opened up ?

Russia i ? working night and flay to com
plcto the line which will place her Pacific
coast within ten days of St , Petersburg , and
has been pushing the work with feverish
haste ever since the China-Japan war ex
posed to the world the Internal weakness
of the Chinese empire. Port Arthur was
the price of Russian interference then. It
was the ono point Russia wanted.
"Within three weeks after Port Arthur
was taken by the Russians I had orders to
phlp railway construction material there , "
said Mr. Frlede.
It was nn astonishing statement and
showed clearly Ilueala's attitude. Port
Arthur was a point which had to bo con
nected with civilized Russia. How , or when ,
or where the route should go through was
not thought of. The circumstance recalls
the old story of the first Czar Nicholas. Mos
cow and St. Petersburg ho wanted Joined
by rail. Engineers went out and , after
months of labor , made a careful survey.
When the chief engineer came up before
Nicholas ho began to explain from his
dlagiams. "There is a mountain hero
which wo want to go around , here Is a
river to bo bridged , licre rights of way are
In question , " etc. "Knough of this ! " cried
the czar. "Whcro Is the map ? "
A map waa given him and taking a ruler
and a pencil , the czar drew a straight line
between the two cities.
"Theie , build it there , " and there the road
was built.
The second Nicholas evidently has some
of the characteristics' of his famous ancestor ,
for today ho Is pursuing the same policy of
doing the Important things easily , perhaps ,
If possible but doing It anyway , in spite of
any obstacle. Russia can work wonders
with America's help. She has discovered
that wo can deliver better material nt a
cheaper prlco months before any of the
Huropcan nations. Therein Is America's
triumph , and yet what has already been
done > Is only n small thing compared to
what will como when the civilized forces of
factories nnd mills shall be spread through
the newly opened countries , Such an
awakening no ono dared dream of a few
years nge > . The first lallroad built In China
was torn up and destroyed by the natives.
Now everything is changed nnd progress Is
no longer Impeded. Thounands of coolies
work on the railroads In China and Man
churia ; 20,000 work In and about Port Ar
thur on the fortifications whllo an army of
Cossacks keeps guard. Commercial progress
Is the order of the day. Hut n few hundred
miles of tlio road remain to be built and
100 miles are built every month. The work
goes on from many centers , coolies tvork-
lug and CoesacKs guarding all along tlio line.
American machinery la used everywhere
Towns are being built , tralnload after trainload -
load of supplies brought Into Siberia and
Manchuria Development , cultivation and
manufacture go on constantly. Hy next
summer the whole of the country will be
open. For $100 ono will bo able to go first

perhaps even to Pekln Then will come anew

A most rcmarkablo and unique mnmi-
ecrlpt has been discovered In the famous
Uodlcln library by the well known Hebrew
scholar. Dr. M. On&teT. It Is nothing less
than n chronicle dating from about A cen-
j tury before the Christian era.
Dr. Raster In publishing a translation of
his find for the Ro > al Asiatic society nnd
calls it the "Chronicles of Jcrnhmcll. "
Every reader of the bible has felt , from
llmo to tlnu' , as if there were gaps In the
narrative. This feeling was responded to
by the ancient Hebrews In the creation of
A large number of legends , which are scat
tered through Infinite \olum s of rabbinical
law ,
The "Chronicles of Jerahmell" embody
many of these ancient legends and Include
also a largo number of Interesting tales
hitherto unknown.
The compilation of the present manuscript
Is duo to a certain. Eleasar ben Asher , the
Levlto , who lived at the beginning of the
fourteenth century ; but his chief source of
information was Jerahmoll , the most an
cient of those who attempted to fill out
the lacunae In the biblical narrative.
Ho did not repeat the blblo storlro at all.
Those , ho knew , were In the reach of every
one , but he tried In c\ory case to eupply
what seemed to him lacking In these stories.
Ho took up the pioblems which suggest
themsehes to the minds of most roadeis
of the bible and for which they look to the
bible for light and very often In vain.
There Is no detail of llfo too small for a
legend and ono of the moat interesting of
those is that relating to the seven ages of
man.

"And why does the child cry at birth'
Docauso of the world It has left behind ?
For at that mcaicnt seven now worlds are
awaiting it. In the first world It is like
unto a king , after whose welcome all people
ask ; all desire to ace It and embrace It and
Ki&s It , 'because ' It is In the first year. In
the second world It Is like unto a swine
which wallows in mlro ; a child dees the
eamo until It reaches two years. In the
third world It Is llko unto a kid that skips
and gambols about on the meadows. Thus
a child skips about here and there until it
la five jears of age. In the fourth world it
li llko unto n horse , which strives along
haughtily. In the same way does a child
walk along , proud of his > outh , until ho Is
18 years old. In the flfth world ho Is like
unto an ass , upon whoso shoulders burdens
are placed. In the same manner burdens
are heaped upon man's shoulders ; he is
given a wife and children. Ho must wander
to and fro in order to obtain food for them
until he Is about 40 jcars old. In the sixth
stage ho Is llko unto a dog , insolent and
wandering about In oil places for food ; steal
ing and robbing In ono place and enjoying
It in another. In the seventh stage ho is
like unto an ape , whose appearance is
changed in every respect. All the household
curse him and desire his < leath ; even the
joung children make fun of him and even
the smallest bird wakes him from his sleep. "

A description of paradise , nowhere plainlj
mentioned in the Old Testament , is most
striking.
"Paradiso has two gates of carbuncle and
sUty myriads of ministering angels Ucop
watch over them. Bach of these angels
shines with a luster of the heaven. When
the just man approaches them they dives
him of the clothes in which he had b&en
buried nnd clothe him with eight cloths ,
woven out of clouds of glory and place upon
his head two crowns , one of precious stones
and pearls and the other of gold , and they
place eight myrtles in his hand and praise
him and say to him , 'Go and eat thy bread
with joy. ' And they lead him to a place
full of rivers surrounded by 800 species of
roses and myrtles. Each one has a canopy
according to his merits , ns It Is said ( In the
blblo ) 'for over ull the glory shall be spread
a canopy. '
"And through it flow four rivers , ono ol
oil , the other of balsam , the third of winc-
and the fourth of honey. Eveiy canopy is
overgrown by a vine of gold and thirty
rcarls hanging down from it , each of them
shining like the morning stars. In every
canopy there Is a table of precious stones
and pearls and sixty angels stand at the
head of every just man , saying to him :
'Go and cat with joy of the honey , for thou
hast worked assiduously In thu law , ' of
which It Is said , 'And It is sweeter than
honey,1 'and drink of the wine preserved
from the sixth day of creation , for thou
hast worked In the law , which is compared
with the wino , ' as it is said , 'I would cause
thto to drink of spiced wino. ' The least
fair of them Is as beautiful as Joseph and
Johanan , and ns the grains of the pome
granate lit up by the rays of the sun.
There la no night , ns It is said , And the
light of the righteous is as of flie shining

In the second watch he is changed into a

In the fourth watch ho is changed Into an

Till- Toner of llnlirl.
The process of the confusion of languages
at the Toner of nabel has always been an
Interesting question and Jerahmell supplied
the following account , as supplomcntlng
the bible story : "And It came to p&ss when
they commenced to build the tower that Rod
confused their tongues and changnd their
form Into that of monkejfi , so that one-
could not recognize his own brother , nor
could one man understand the language of
his neighbor , so that when the builders or
dered the people to bring stones they
brought water , and when they told them to
bring water they brought stubble. In this
way their evil intentions were fiustratH
and they ceased building the tower and the
Lord scattered them over the faci > of- the
whole earth. Tor they had eald , 'Come and
let us build for ourselves a city and let us
take axes and break open tlw firma
ment. BO that the water flow from Iheio the
same aa below , that ho may not do to us
ns ho did In the generation of the flood
And let us wage war with these In heaven
and establish ourselves there as gods' Out
how could they build the city , since they had
no stones ? They made bricks from clay
and pitch and burnt them ns a potter burns
his hops In the oven and hardenn them In
this way tl ey made the bricks and built tha
city and the tower exceedingly high , with
seventy stops. The ascent was made from the
east and the descent from the west. If a
man fell therefrom they did not hrcd It
much , whereas If a brick fell they wept bit
terly , and said , 'When , oh ! when -nlll ano
ther be brought up' When Abram taw
their wicked ways ho cursed them In the
name of the Ix > rd , but they did not pay at
tention to his words. The Lord then de
scended from the 70,000 angels that sur
rounded His throuo and at that tlmo of the
dispensation ho confounded their tongue Into
seventy different latiRiages '

this ono Is peculiarly characteristic of the
Hebrew conception of Abraham's , work. "It
Is rolatcil that the whole household of Abra

over they made idols and sold them upon
the street ? . Hut when a man approached
Abraham to soil him mi Idol ho would ask
him , 'How much Is this Image' ' Thico

to thrust him into the burning furnace , Nlm-

persion did likewise. Abraham then on-

his cause. After which NImrod usked , 'If

"There has been a strange fascination
about the loss of the Ten Tribes of Israel
and Hebrew legend attempts to supply an
account of the fate of those Ten Trlbe-s
-\nilouB ways. There is a peiullarly In
teresting legend respecting the so-called
Children of Moses connected , of course , with
the cxllo by Nebuchadnezzar. "When they
arrived In Babylon their "enemies and cap-
tora said to them : 'Sing us a bong of
Zlon,1 and they replied : 'How can we sing
aeong of J2lon upon strange ground1 'Now,1
retorted their captors , 'ye bhall sing by
force,1 but they at once cut off their lingers
with their teeth and cast them before them
and they replied : 'How can these lingers ,
which , struck the strings of the heart and
the temple , strike them here in a strange-
land1 And God exclaimed : 'If I forget
Jerusalem , my right hand shall bo for
gotten.1
"A cloud then descended and , lifting all
the Children of Moses , with their sheep and
cattle , brought them to the east of Havila.
In the night they were let down and on that
same night they heard a great noise sur
rounding them , like that of a river , with
out beclng a drop of water descending , but
heard only the rolling of stones and sand
\hero there had never been a river. This
river then rolled great stones and the sand
Uthout any water , made a nolso as of a
great earthquake. This continued until the
Sabbath. The river they called Sabbatyon
or Sabbatianus. On the Safbath it ceases
o flow and on the eve of Sabbath a cloud
ascends full of smoke. No one is able to
ipproach them , neither do they approach
hem. There are no wild beasts , no un
clean animals , nor any reptiles or creeping
hlnga. Nothing except their Hocks and
lords. They reap and sow and thev ask
the others and thus they learn of the de
struction of the Second Temple.11 It Is

Moses dwell , that the temnants of the Ten
Tribes arn said to be found. "The Tribe
