cluIV
The city's uormnt population Is about
that of. Omaha, Neb,. according to a
bulletin of the National (Jeographlc
Society, which adds:
"Irkutsk had Its beginning from the
station established there In . 10W for
the collection of a fur la* from the
liUrluts. This curious people still
dwells In the Baikal region. In them,
It would seeirt, the ethnological east
aud west almost meet. Their busi
ness Is skin to the herdsmen of our
own western plains; their uppeurnnco,
with shaven ' beads and pigtails like
that of" the I'hlnese. In winter they
oress like KSklmos, with sheepskins
aild furs; their slimmer attire is the
oriental jtnwii of silk and Cotton.
"The horses the Burials raise llg
ure in the religion they cling to most
tenaciously. This religion culls for
/mi cr HI ce of the favorite steed at the
owner's grave. The less faithful
among the heirs, though, have been
known to tie tin animal with a tether
so frayed that the horse soon broke
away to join the herd.
"One of the peculiar customs which
the t i a voter encountered at Irkutsk be
fore the war was the closing of the
railway ticket ofllee for the sale of
tickets two days prior to the dbpart
?we of a "train. He was not expected
to decide to take a trlji to Petrograd
(3,7!*- miles'), to Moscow (fl,.'l84 miles),
or to Vladivostok (2.00S miles) on the
spur of the moment."
Romance of Cotton.
The repor that cotton has been dis
covered growing wild. In what was be
lieved to be an Australian desert,
opeiis vast possibilities of new for
tunes. The history of cotton is strewn
with Kl Dorados ? except for some of
those inventors whose Ingenious ma
chines of the eighteenth century have
made riches for modern Lancashire.
Arkwrljiht Is the most conspicuous In
stance of reward following merit. Most
of them, like llurgraves, died in pov
erty. It ts only In our own times that
vast fluctuations In the price of cot
ton have taken place, and that, of
course, Is due to the ama/.lng Ingenui
ty of the men wlio made the human
like machines that now do the work
of a thousand men. When machinery
was tirst applied iu Britain one of
these more fortunate inventors boast
ed that he had reduced the price of a
specially fine kind of cotton from $100
to $4 for a quantity sufficient to make
a lady's dress. We need him now.
Utopia.
Gibraltar seems to ftjlfill ??H the con
ditions of ? "desirable residence" for
war-impoverished people. There are
no talfcs. except on alcoholic liquors
and tobacco, and the revenue, mainly
derived from customs and port dues,
shows a handsome balance on the
rjght side. The colony hah no public
debt, and the prosperity of its inhabi
tants is shown by the savings b&jilc de
posits, which doubled In a year, and
at the end of 1918 gave an average of
$250 for each depositor. At present
the British civil population numbers
about 10,000. There is room for a
few more on, "the Rock" because the
census of 1011 enumerated nearly 17,
000 besides Maltese and aliens, who
have also diminished since then.

South Africa, that is the federated
