It is inconceivable to the foreign visitor who his never left the beaten track of the rayways in Russia how a great em pire can have subsisted so long and so successfully without even a pretense at roads. The secret lies in the fact that for five or six months in the year na ture herself provides roads over the greater part of Russia-admirable, smooth, glassy roadways over hard wot'n snow. The traflic Is further cheapened over these roads by the substitution of a sledge-runner for the wheel and axle. This brings the cost of land carriage as near the cheapness of water-borne freight as possible and it is the princi pal reason why Russia in the twentieth century is still a roadless land. A Ton-Weight Turtle. That turtle "weighing nearly a ton" (fisherman's weight?) lately landed at Penzance cannot be either the green turtle, associated with civic feasts, or the hawk's bill, from which we get.tor toise. shell. These two belong to trop ical seas, and are of smaller dimen sions. The ponderous "hinseck" caught off Scnlly must be a "loggerhead" tur tIe, which occurs in the Mediterranean and sometimes visits our southern coasts. The "loggerlead" is the only carniverous turtle, and distinguished from the green variety by size, shape of head, and number of plates on the armor. But he is occasionally cooked in mistake for his edible cousin, wvith disastrous results to the diners.-Lon. don Chronicle. Danger From Mosquitoes.

Harvin.-Replies to 2,000 inquiries sent to every cotton growing county in the cotton growing states as to the condition of cotton for the month of July, counting 100 per cent as a per feet crop, shows an average condition of 66.1 per cent. All states east of the Mississippi River show excessive rainfall. The states of Texas, Oklahoma and Arkan sas the rainfall is reported light and scant. The crop averages 2.8 weeks late and the average area abandoned is 10.7 per cent.

The average condition by states is as follows: Alabama, condition, 54.5 per cent; Arkansas, 77.8; Florida, 59.8; Georgia 65; Louisiana. 77.5; Mississippi, 57.8; North Carolina, 63; Oklahoma, 80; South Carolina, 57.7; Tennessee, 72.5; Texas, 62.4.

At first sight there does not seem to be a very close connection between the war in Europe and head hunting in the Solomon islands. Nevertheless, the one arises from the other. Previous to the outbreak of the war, according to a Vancouver World's Sydney (N. S.

Ilow ever, the requlrenentis for the trans port of troops led to the recall of the Briti warships-and the happy head hunter has been free to follow his own devious courses. In one raid made by a mountain tribe upon a small village near the const no less than 26 heads were se cured. No punishment followed be cause the whites were unable to or ganize in time. As a consequence the raids are growing more dangerous and, although as yet no Europeans have been attacked, planters have con stantly to keep on their guard. Tetterine Conquers Poison Oak.
