THE COLUMBIAN, BLoOMsBURCi, PA. ins ii n So Rich I k Can Scarcely Com pute the Amount. HE HAS MANY HOLIDAYS With His Salary, Royalties From Mines and Other Properties, His Annual Income Is About Fifty Millions of Dollars. Vast Sums Left Him' by His Subjects. The C.ar of Russia Is personally the richest monarch In Europe, and, consequently, In the whole world. He has palaces by the dozen, estates al most without number, and minus that bring him In fabulous sums of money every year, says a London exchange. It was announced from St. refers fcnrf? recently thnt the Czar had given 200,000,000 rubles (about $100,000,000) from his private treasury to Russia's war fund. Probably this Is the largest sit ole gift ever made by an Individual donor to any cause. Hut the Czar can well afford It He Is unquestionably the richest man on earth. Even Mr. Rockefeller's itwny millions would look small by comparison with his multitudinous sources of wealth and the vast treas ures hoarded for him by his ances tors, for the Romanoffs were always a saving race. No living man can tell the full extent of his wealth, not even Baron Frledrlchs, the controller of the Imperial household. The official revenue of Nicholas II. salary, so to speak Is nearly $10, 000,000 prr annum. It Is difficult to arrive at It exactly, for It Is paid In various ways and under many heads, and tho sum total fluctuates from year to year. Rut $10,000,000 may be taken as a fair average. With the sole exception of the shah of Persia, the Czar owns a greater fortune In diamonds and precious stones than any man In the world. The famous OrlofT diamond Is only the greatest star In an Immense cou stellatlon. When Nicholas II. was crowned a few years aso the emir of Bukhara and the khan of Khiva, his two prin cipal vassal princes, vied with one another In making him the richest gifts within their power. The khnn gave hlra a priceless rope of pearls which Is said to be the finest In the world, besides diamonds, emeralds and rubies galore. Ills presents aro esti mated to have been worth, at the lowest computation, $2,000,000, but they were unique and no price could really be put upon them. Ills rival, the emir, was not far behind him, and the hetman of the Don Cossacks, Prince ' Svlatopolsk Mlrskl II., came forward with some handsome contri butions, as did all the lending nobles and princes of the empire, to say nothing of forelpn potentates. The Czar Is the lucklett man on earth inthe matter of "windfalls." His loyal subjects aro constantly leav ing him large sums of money by will, which are not always accepted. Deli cate diplomacy Is required to Induce the Czar to accept a legacy.. These legacies, when accepted, are never used by the Cznr for his pri vate gratification. Ha regards them as a trust fund and they have been so regarded by most of his ancestors. This fund Is drawn upon for charit able and religious purposes. Some of the legacies reach Immense sums. A merchant named Stephanoff, who died at Nljnl-Novgorod last year, left the Czar 11,000.000 rubles ("to be applied to any subject which his Im perial majesty may ' be graciously pleased to consider for the good of holy Russia"). A Moscow banker named Nicholas Nlcholaevltch Ckh tsnsky left 7,000,000 rubles two or three years ago to the monarch, ab solutely free of any limitation or pro vision. Hardly a month passes with out the Czar receiving by will what most men would consider a large for tune. The Czar pockets more mining roy alties than any other man on earth. The silver, gold, platinum and lead mines In the Ural Mountains are gov ernment property. Most of the pro ceeds go Into the government treas ury, but royalties ranging from 6 to 15 per cent, are paid over to the emperor's private purse. Ho receives similar royalties on the numerous government mines In Siberia, which are worked by tho free labor of con- j vlcts. He also receives quit rents, tithes and other payments for vast tracts of crown lands In Siberia and central Asia, as well as a share of the large revenue accruing from the exploitation of the Immense areas of government forest land In Siberia. Wholo blocks of real estate In St. Petersburg, Moscow, Odessa, Nljnl Novgorod, Irkutsk, Omsk, and other cities and towns in European Russia and Siberia are owned by the emperor and the rents are duly collected by a small army of agents under tho super vision of naron Froidrlchs. He also possesses large financial holdings In several Russian railways and In numerous Industrial undertak ings, such as Ironwork and textile fac tories, promoted or encouraged by Jullewltsh De Wltte when he was finance minister. The Investment of the Czar's Immense wealth Is always a serious and dlfllcult problem. "It la Impossible to arrive at any exact estimate of the wealth of his Imperial majesty," said an official con nected with the Russian legation at Washington, from whom most of the facts set forth were obtained, "but I should think that, on the most con servative estimate, he must be worth from all sources, far more than $50, 000,000 a year. This Is actual rev cuuo, and does not take Into account the huge treasures In speclo, bullion, and diamonds which are stored In tho vaults of the Peterhof Palace, In the Citadel nt. Kronstadt, and elsewhere. "Although ho Is undoubtedly the richest man In the world far richer than the richest of your American millionaires his majesty Is a man of the simplest tastes, and his purely personal expenses would probably be enslly covered by $30 a day. Except when It Is necessary to assume the outward show of his exalted rank, he dresses In a suit that you could buy here for $.10. He dines very simply, except at Btato dinners, and President M"Klnley used to smoke far more ex pensive cigars than he does. MY3TERIOUS AUSTRIAN LAKE. Its Water Disappears and Crops Grow Before It Returns. Around the head of the gulf of Trieste, In the southern part of Aus tria, and extending across the base of the Istrlan peninsula, Is a plateau of limestone, which presents soma peculiar phenomena. Full grown rivers Issue from Its sides, disappear under other hills, to reappear later at some distant point. Mysterious springs rise through the bottom of the bay of Trieste, In times of heavy rainfall, bubbling up with a violence sufficient to endanger small craft. In the heart of Cherso Island, which Is In tho middle of the gulf of Quar nero, is the lake of Vrana. It Is sur rounded entirely by hills, and lies In a basin said to be 45 fathoms deep. The level of tho water Is reputed to be at least 40 feet below the level of the sea about the Island. It has no apparent affluent or efflu ent, yet the waters are always fresh and cool. It Is believed the lake Is fed by some subterranean passage, leading out under the bay from the Istrlan Alps, possibly from Monte Mngglore Itself. Some distance to the northward Is a lake which disappears for weks at a time. This sheet of water, known as the lake of Zlrknitz, Is about four miles long and from two to three miles broad. Frequently, In July, although not every year, the waters begin to dis appear, and In August the bed, 60 feet below the surface at some points, at times gradually appears. From 20 to 25 days are required for the entire lake to be discharged. When the bed Is revealed the peas ants plant crops of barley where only a short time before they were drawing their nets. The bed remains uncov ered sometimes for many weeks. The peasants gather their barley and hay from the bottom In the meantime. Then, with a rush, the waters re turn, the basin being refilled some times In a period of 24 hours. The limestone which forms the bed la perforated with a vast number of enverns and fissures. Nearly 30 of these are visible. T'aey are funnel slnped. and some of them are 50 feet deep. They connect with caverns and subterranean passages penetrating be neath the surrounding mountains. Japan's Financial Pcsltion. We must recognize, at tho outse't, that .lapsn Is a poor country, like nearly all Oriental lands, though not quite so poor as British India. With a population equal to that of Germany, Japan has less than a fourth of Ger many's revenue, or, to take her ally England as the basis of comparison, Japan, with a population half as groat agiln as England, has less than a fifth of the revenue of England. We may make the view even clearer In this way: The revenue of France is about $20 per. head, that of Japan is about $3 per head. The Imports of England are about $(10 per head; those of the Netherlands, drawn from an Immense East Indian Empire, about $150 per head; while those of Japan are only $3 per head, about ono-flftieth the Imports of Holland. Japan Is very densely populated. Nearly forty millions of her popula tion are settled at from 400 to 475 to the square miles, nearly thirty millions approaching the latter figure in den sity. This population is largely agri cultural, the average farm being about two acres In extent and having rather the character of a garden tilled wholly by hand labor than of a farm In our sense. This prevalence of hand labor aceoents for the exteremo difficulty in finding horses for tho Japanese cav alry; the country peoplo have no horses, because they are too poor to own them and have no room on their diminutive farms to use them. An other comparison: Japan has only eight towns of a hundred thousand In habitants and over as against, thirty three for Cermany, with about the p.inie total population. Only two of these towns, Toklo and Osaka, have over four hundred thousand Inhabi tants. Harper's Weekly. N-Rays from Plants. Tiotanlsts have recently been inves tigating the N-rays, and we are told that they are emitted from plants, as well as from nerves and muscles, and that the fluorescent screen will glow when brought near to the plant, espe cially tho leaves and the roots, where the effect Is more pronounced than In the case of the flower. N-rays are emitted from such plants as onions artd mushrooms, so that they do not seem to depend upon tho presence of chlororphyll or green coloring matter, their intensity and condition of the vegetable protoplasm. This was shown by the fact that the N-rays were produced from germinated seed lings and not from those which bad not germinated, while their emission was stopped entirely on using chloro form to suspend the vital activity of the plant. Harper's Weekly. If Hid m Alexandria Silenced in Ten Hours, Short Record. AWFUL BOMBARDMENTS Gibraltar, Although Week After Week 6,000 Shells a Day Were Hurled at It, Withstood Allied Fleets of Spain and Francs for Eight Hun dred and Seventy-four Days. In shortness and decisiveness it will be difficult to beat the record of Alex andria, every gun of which was effec tually silenced within ten hours by our fleet under Admiral Seymour, says London Tlt-Dlts. But these few hours witnessed such a destructive deluge of shot and shell as might well have laid a big city In ruins. No fewer than 10,000 projectiles were hurled against the forts of Alexandria, many of them monsters of 1,700 pounds weight, fired from 81-ton guns. Sin gularly enough, this murderous ball of iron did little damage to the forti fications, the majority of the shells burying themselves harmlessly In the parapets of sand which had been raised to protect the batteries. Rut so terrible was the havoc and slaughter wrought among the adher ents of Arabl Pasha by the flying fragments of the shells which explod ed that the forts were quickly evacu ated; while some of the shells started a Are which ' destroyed almost the whole of the town. Sabastopol, with its grim, massive forts were quickly evacuated, while some defended by 700 guns, many of them of heavy calibre, held out against the combined armies of France and England for 327 days. When, however, the place was evacuated, it was found that the town was in ruins; and to complete the work of destruction such docks and forts as still remained standing were blown up by the engi neers of the allied forces. It took 132 days for the Germans to bring Paris to her knees a gener ation ago. During January, 1871, no fewer than 10,000 shells were rained on to the doomed town every day, and of these 500 fell Into the city proper. During a single day, January 3, the Prussians hurled 25,000 projectiles at Paris at a cost of JCG0.00O. The havoc they wrought was fearful, and the resultant flres threatened to destroy whole districts. During the siege no fever than 40,000 of the Inhabitants succumbed to disease and hunger. For ninety-four days Plevna defied the pick of the Russian army, although Its defenders were hopelessly outnum bered, and on December 10, 1S77, afxer tho last grain of rye had been eaten, tho Indomitable Turks sallied forth and tried to hew their way through the Russian legions. Or.man Pasha commanded his gallant remnant In person; three lines of trenches were pierced, but the odds against them were too great. Surrounded by al most countless hordes of the enemy, his men mown down by sweeping tor rents of bullets and shells, the brave leader at last yielded to fate and al lowed the white flag to flutter from the roof of the hut near which he was lying mutilated and In agony. Khartoum withstood the Mahdl and his hosts for 341 days, under the brave direction of Gordon; and in Kars, Gen. Williams, with 15,000 men, with pro visions for three months and ammu nition for three days, kept an Invest ing army of 60,000 at bay from June to November. "Gen. Williams," wrote Mouravleff, the Russian general, to his gallant foe, "you have made yourself a name In history, and posterity will stand amazed at the endurance, the courage and the discipline which this siege has called forth In the remains of an army. Let us arrange a capi tulation which will satisfy the de mands of war without disgracing hu manity." Gibraltar, as all the world knows, stood Impregnable against all the as saults of Spain and France for 874 days, although week after week 6,000 shells were hurled at It every day, and, In spite of the combined attack of forty-six sail of the line, a count less fleet of gun and mortar boats, and floating batteries which had cost 500,000 to construct. Richmond, Virginia, wns defended by Gon. Lee through a year of terrible fighting, until the seizure of his lines of supply compelled him to evacuate it on April 2, 1805; Lucknow held out for eighty-six days, whe.i Gen. Have lock came to Its relief; and Straeburg, with all Its strength, defended by a garrison of 17.000 men, had to sur render to the Germans after a siege of forty-eight days. Among other not able sieges Mafoking survived seven months, Klmberley 123 days, Lady smith 118, rotchofstroom ninety-four Metz seventy-two, Gaeta seventy soven, and Chltral Fort forty-six days. A much closer parallel to the siege of Port Arthur can be found In the bombardment of Santiago during the recent war between America and Spain. The United States warships Texas, Indiana and Brooklyn opened fire on the towns at a range of six miles, and for three hours poured shells Into It with such deadly effect that, although the gunners could not oven see their target, fifty-seven buildings were wrecked and set. on Are, and It was said that a few hours more firing would have laid the whole place In ruins. Even more effeo tlve was the demoralization caused by the bombardment, which directly led to tho surrender of the town. Uniform Pivorco Laws- Governor Higglns Favors Co operation State Commissioners. ol Governor 1 1 igins expressed hitn sell in lavor ol the proposed co operation of state commissioners to secure uniformity ol divorce legis latioti throughout the country. In a letter to Governor I'cnnynacker of Pennsylvania he says: "I have no authority to appoint delegates to a congress to meet at Washington to consider the subject of divorce, but I think the matter falls properly within the jurisdic tion of the commissioners for the promotion of uniformity of legisla tion in the United States, and have referred your communication to Walter S. Logan of 27 William street, New York city, who is the senior commissioner in this state and have requested him to com municate with his colleagues and if possible, to attend such a con gress, should it meet, on behalf of New York." Nets Illegal Till Sept- 1st- The act of Assembly which per mits taking carp, mullets and suck ers with a four inch mesh net after the fisherman has given bond in the sum of $200 does not become oper ative until September 1st. The De partment of Fisheries has requested tliat this statement be published be cause th law does not appear to be generally understood. The period between June 20 and September 1st is a close season for all fish each year and the nets cannot be used until after the latter date. The bond to be given by the fisherman is to guarantee to the state that all fish other than the three kinds men tioned will be returned to the water unharmed. The net to be used must have a mesh never to be less than four inches in diameter, wet or dry. Many Miles of State Roads. There has been a steady increase the last thirty days 111 the app'ica tion to the State highway depart ment for state aid to build public roads tinder the law passed by the last legislature. The department has received in the aggregate 349 applications for the building of total of 650 miles of road, the cost of which will be between $3,000, 000 and $4,000,000. These appli cations cover about sixty counties The department has built and has under construction about 150 miles of road in various parts of the state since the passage of the original law by the legislature in 1903. The Royal Arcanum Supreme Secretary W. O. Rob son, of the Royal Arcanum, issued the following statement: "The Supreme Council of the Royal Ar canum win De caiiea to meet in special session at Hotel Victory Put-in-Bay, Lake Krie, Ohio, on Weduesday, August 30th, at : o'clock p. m. , forty-two represeuta tives from the Grand Councils hav ing signed a request to Supreme Regent Wiggins, therefor.
