WONDERFUL WORK OF RUSSIANS
IN CENTRAL ASIA.
All the Military Power of the Czar
Would Have Been of No Avail but .
for the Patient Labor of
the Colonists.
IIow Russian colonists have Strug
(led and conquered In Russian Cen
tral Asia ls revealed by Stephen Gra
ham, who has recently made a tramp
ing tour through that comparatively
unknowD section of the earth.
After crossing the Caspian sea from
Duku to Krasuovodsk Mr. Uruham
took tho desert rulhvay, on which the
trains average a speed of ouly 17
miles an hour over tbfi Indifferent
sleepers. The western miud might find
this railway Inexplicable. S'hy a des
ert lino while uiuuy of the railways at
home are undeveloped, and strategic
railways are unbuilt? The answer ls
tho results In colonization and trade.
As Mr. Graham looks out of the
window during his Journey a delight
ful phruse occurs to hi in about a dis
tant string of camels moving across
the sand parallel to the line, lie de
scribes them os looking like "a scrap
of eastern handwriting between earth
and heaven." Anyone who hus seen
a string of camels on a vague hoii
on will recognlre the aptness of the
simile.
Only Irrigation Is needed to make
tills and other Central Asia deserts
blossom like the rose, and tho Rus
sians have already doue splendid
work In this respect.
Mr. Graham, In his book, "Through
Russian Central Asia," describes how
the typleul Russian family become col
onists. A messenger Is sent In advunce
to choose a site, and then the family
proceeds to the appointed place.
"First of all, trees are planted," says
Mr. Grahnm. "How pathetic to see
the long rows of three-foot -high poplar
shoots and willow twigs I A month on
this sun-beaten road leaves no doubt
In the emigrant's mind as to what Is
the first necessity shade, shade. Trees
are planted all along the main gov
ernment dike.
"The colonist chooses the place for
his house ; he digs a trench all around
It and lets In water from the dike, and
he plants trees along the trench. Then
he buys stout poplar trunks and wil
low trunks, and makes the framework
of his cottage. He Interlaces little wil
low twigs and makes the sort of wilted
green, slightly shady, slightly sunny
house that children might put up In a
wood In England.
"Ills roof he makes of prairie grassi
great reeds 10 to 15 feet In length and
thick and strong, or of willow twigs
again and turf. In his second year he
has a little liny harvest on his roof. He
plows his little bit of desert. lie ex
changes some of his oxen for cows. He
strives with all his power as does a
transplanted flower to take rooL
"He looks forlorn. You look at his
poor estate and say: 'It Is a poor ex
periment. The sun Is too strong for
him, he will just wither off, and the
desert will be as before.'
"But you come another day and you
see a change, and exclaim: 'He has
taken root after all ; there Is a shoet of
young life there, tender and green.' "
All Russian Central Asia, says Mr.
Graham, has been won almost without
fighting. Military processions were
generally all that was necessary. Bok
hara and Khiva came under Russian
protection, the railway was built, and
Russia became the most Important
Moslem power In Central Asia. But
hud It not been for the patient colon
ists who put together their wattlt and
mud houses lu the wake of the army,
the settlement could never have beea
a reality.

In the new ozone treating of wounds
bondages are dispensed with, and the
loose layer of lint which forms the
only covering used Is removed fre
quently for subjecting the Injured flesh
to a stream of oxidized oxygen. The
painful removing und replacing of
bandages Is liimle unnecessary. Much
suffering Is prevented In this way. and

City of Memories.
The most Interesting spot In Cracow
ls little besides a mass of memories of
the past the old church with Its
tojnbs and monuments to dead kings
and dead heroes. Here lies the great
King Caslinlr, whom the I'nles Idol
ized because he was a lighting mon
arch and led a lighting race to victory.
Here lies Kosciusko, whose monument
broods over West I'olnt on the Hud
son, and whose memory 1ms been pre
served In brouze and stone lu a down
other places In the United. States.
Here Is the monument to King John,
who saved Europe and Christianity
from the Moslem when he took his
army of 70,(KX) I'oles and beat back the
Asiatic horde that had driven (he Au
trlnns from their capital. It must be
a melancholy pleasure to the l'ole or
today to wulk among those memories
of tho past.

Why the Cord of Wood Shrinks.
Ralph Faulkner und Henry Stern
berg, students In the College of For
estry at the University of Washington,
have proved by experiment that a cord
of full-length wood when sawed nnd
replied In the ordinary stack shrinks
on an average 24.70 per cent. As deal
ers buy wood In full lengths and usu
ally measure it for delivery before saw
lug It. they are often accused of giving
short measure.
A "cord" Is tho standard measure
ment of wood, and It Is defined as V2H
cubic feet of wood, measured by a pile
four feet high and eight feet wide of
logs four feet long.
The discrepancy between the cord
as bought by the dealer and as dellv
ered to the crtomor. according to
I'rof. Hugo WInkenwerder, dean of the
college. Is not entirely explained by
the sawdust When wood Is piled up
In four-foot lengths there are many
spaces between sticks, caused by knots
nnd curvatures. These spaces are
eliminated when the wood ls cut up
small.
Improvement on X-Ray.
The X-ray has become Indispensa
ble to the modern surgeon and Im
provements are being made upon It
A recent one Is a device which, nfter
reveullng the location or an Injury or
disease spot, enables (he surgeon to
keep It In sight as he operates. A
framework going around (he surgeon's .
head Is fitted with a fluoroscope an
Instrument by means of which ob
jects revealed by the X-rays are made
visible to (he human eye. The pa
tient Is placed on a special operating
tiihle with (he X-ray turned on. nnd
i hp surgeon can work easily, since he
m-es what Is before him continually
Instead of having to work gropingly
from the remembrance of what wut
revealed In the X-ray photograph.
Leper Colony For Holland.
Holland Is to have a leper colony.
The country Is exposed to the leprosy
danger owing to the considerable traf
fic with Its East and West. Indian col
onies, and there are estimated to be
roughly between 30 and 40 sufferers
from the disease already within Its
borders. Mans are on foot to found
such a, colony In the Veluw region,
between Kpe nnd Ileerde. It will be
under the control of officers, of the Sal
vation Army who ha? bad experience
of this work In the Netherlands East
Indies. '
