NEW MOUNTAINS
FOUND IN SIBERi/.
Great Ranee 609 Miles Long
Hitherto I'nknown.
Washington. — A great mountain
range, bigger than the Caucasians,
has been discovered by Russian ex-
plorers in an almost unknown terri-
tory In Slbera, hitherto believed to be
nothing more than i rolling plain, .ac-
cording to information just received
liere.
It lies In northeastern-. Yakutsk, a
little known region containing unex-
plored areas larger than France.
The district was found to be moun-
tainous and to be part of a great
range that trends from the Arctic
coast, east of Lena river, southward
and eastward.
This range, with an estimated
length of more than (100 miles and a
greater width of nearly '-00 miles, is
perhaps the last great mountain range
of the world that had remained un-
discovered. It lias been named in lien-
or of 51. I'herski, a Russian geologist
who explored parts of Siberia.
Where it is cut through by Indigirka
river the Cherski range comprises
nine mountain chain-:, whose highest
summits reach more than 10,000 feet.
The party passed some of the gorges
by rafting down the river but found
others impassable and had to make
long detours over I lie mountains.
Because of the unexpected rough-
ness of the district the exploration
consumed much more time than was
anticipated and the party was over-
taken by heavy snow before returning.

Ranks Farm Children
Above Those City Bred
Wellington, N. Z.—Farm children
are superior to city-reared children,
says a national report on a survey of
the physical growth and mental at-
tainment of the "hoys and girls of New
Zealand. Superiority of farmers' chil-
dren was most pronounced at the ago
of thirteen.
The survey included 20,000 town and
country children ranging in age from |
ten to fourteen, and was carried out |
by Dr. Ada I'aterson, director of the
health department's division of school!
hygiene, and Dr. E. Marsden, assistant 1
director of education.
Grouping the boys and girls in ac-
cordance with the fathers' occupations,
the investigators ascertained that the
children of the farmers were tallest
being closely followed by those of pro- [
fessional men. Regarding weight, it i
was shown that farmers' children |
were markedly heavier than the aver J
age, the difference increasing with j
age, while the children of professional j
men, though above the average in
height, showed no excess in weight.
Total result of the survey showed !
that the average height and average
weight of chiIdrer. of good mental at j
tainment were greater than in the i
case of those of inferior ability.

Story-Telling Champion
of Lithuania ICO Years Ok!
Dzukija, Lithuania.—Wars and ru-
mors of wars do not disturb the se-
renity of old Dede fasakorlus. fa-
mous story-teller of Lithuania. His
home lies close to the Polish demar-
cation line, which is the apple of dis
cord between the two nations.
The region is especially dear to pa-
triotic Lithuanians, for all tlie beau-
tiful age-old folk stories and songs,
in which the Lithuanian language is
rich, originated here.
Even this village, "Dzukija," lias n
poetic name. It means "Song-Land."
Pasakorius is known all over the
country as the "story-telling uncle."
Hi; has an inexhaustible fund of them
and he tells them with a natural
cha. ia to delighted audiences. He is
well over one hundred, but when one
asks him how old he really is he says:
"Oh, hoy! No man can tell. I'm so
old, I've forgotten."
Paid Its Way
Rapid Citj, S. D.—George Fisher
brought a tire for repair here after
receiving a puncture in the Black hills.
Repair men discovered a gold nugget,
about one and a quarter inches in !
length, embedded in the tire. A local I
jeweler said the nugget was worth |
S1.85, or much more than tlie cost of j
repairing the puncture.

Former Miner Te'fs of Hu-
nror of Early Theater
Days in Leadville.
•
New York.- -.ally In the small
towns It is the a.c; >r who laughs up
Ills sleeve at t':audience. iSltt in
the small town of Leadville, Colo., It
is the audience which, nine times out
of ten. enjoys more than one laugh up
Its sleeve at the expense of the actpr.
A man who > pent many years out
In the West, and most of them min-
ing in Colorado, and is now resident
in New York, cited this fact recently
while reminiscing, as very often he
does, over the earlier and more ad-
venturous stages of his career when,
instead of cramping his knees in the
subway and under tea-room tables, he
swung them comfortably over a Mex-
ican saddle, whenever he wished to
go anywl. re, or stretched them luxu-
riously by a "cow-camp" lire, when-
ever he wished to eat anything.
This man, having lived at every al-
titude from sea-level up to 13,000 feet,
is well acquainted with the effect pro-
duced on the lungs and the respira-
tory organs generally by more rarlfieil
atmospheres than the one In which peo-
ple live in New York. And he recalls
quite clearly how, 011 the first night
he slept at a height of 10,000 feet, lie
was awakened shortly after falling to
slumber by a pounding in his left
breast which turned out to he caused
by nothing more nor less than his
heart which, as his friends afterward
told him, was1 struggling for more oxy-
gen than he, in his slumbrous state,
was giving it, and manifesting its an-
noyance at the sudden deprivation in
this fashion. Till he became accli-
mated to the raritied air, which he
did not do for a matter of taveral
days, he was? under the necessity, he
said, of "catching his sleep" only in
fitful snatches.
An Old Leadville Theater.
"There used to be a theater in
Leadville," he said, "and, for all I
know, it is still there. Or perhaps
it has been replaced by a larger one
where they have movies, vaudeville
acts, operas, full-length plays and Max
Rclnhurdt pageants all for the price
of a half dollar, as we do in most a!
our movie houses hereabouts. Hut in
those days the 'theater' was 11 simple,
modest structure and '.hows' were
only booked there every once in so
often. Thus, as you see, the arrival
of a troupe was a matter of great mo-
ment and importance.
"The occasion was usually attended
by great ceremony, on the first nicht
ail of the population that could pos-
sibly lie crammed between the four
walls would '.e there, hungry for the
entertainment, 110 matter how good or
how bad it might be, ready and anx-
ious to be moved to laughter, to won
der, or to tears.
"Of course, the actors, too, were
heartened by the intense interest man
ifested on the part of the audience.
And so, knowing nothing of the dilii-
culties of breathing I11 that higher al-
titude, they would, if tlieji happened
to comprise a 'song-nnd-dance' team,
immediately launch into 1 :i intricate
and lusty exhibition of dancing which
left them, at the end of several mo-
ments. and as they tried to sing at
the same time, gasping for breath m
a fashion to which they were totally
unaccustomed.
"They would then endeavor to sin:;
the second verse of their song num-
ber, whatever it might be, and find
tinem - Ives too breathless to do s i.
Sometimes they would try and drag
the piece out to the linish, their syl
tables and notes cut unintelligibly
short and sounding very much like
notes issuing from a wheezy organ
pumped by some one who lacked the
strength really to keep It going. Or
they would give up the second verse
in despair and stagger limply from
the stage, wondering what on earth
was wrong with them.
"If at the same time, the visiting
thespians happened to he giving he-
roic and voluminously written melo-
drama with long, pompous lines, aft-
er the first few minutes on the stage
they would have to slow up the ver-
oal action of the play in such a way
as to make it almost ludicrous, al-
though, truth to tell, the 'drummers'
which used to find their way into ?h:
West in those days were, to any one
with a sense of humor, sufficiently
ludicrous without any supplemental
ridicule being attached to them.
"If ever these actors or actresses
played that town again, or any other
town at the same altitude, they were
more cautious In their opening mo-
ments. The song-and-dance teams, for
instance, would come out at a walk,
sing both verses of their song and
both choruses and then, after an In-
terval of several minutes, go carefully
Into their dance steps. Having per-
formed these, at a modified pace, they
would exit from the stage and, despite
the applause—and every number al-
ways got applause—they would not
come on again, This was sensible.
"As for the more dramatic players,
thiy not only learned to speak their
opening lines more slowly hut they
saw to it that their parts were not so
liberally written. Tills, in itself, was
an achievement of no small moment
for the higher altitudes, since under
no other circumstances have I ever
heard of actors or actresses actually
asking, of their own volition, to have
their 'lines' cut"
Reminiscing still further about tho
indigencies of a winter In the «c '
W,000 feet ubove the sea tills western
.^culled how for several weeks, on irne
occasion, he was snowbound In a hotel
which neither he, nor any of the other
imprisoned patrops, dared leave eti:«.
to cross the street.
Snowbound in a Hotel. i
"The snow In th::t country," he ex-
plained, "liils your face like small
particles of g! •and cuts it very
1 fully. Moreover, the fury of the
wind and the ghirlu:: brilliance of the
.snow blind one, t;o it is practically im-
po iiile to see where one Is going,
j liven cm.: In.: . . !i an ordinarily
i commonplace thing as a street—and,
| of course, the main 'street' in one of
1 those western towns of tho.e days
I was wider than Fifth avenue—one
was liable to he h sun down by the
v. ii:d : i numbed into Immobility by
the cold. Thus it was a 'crossing' not
without Its risks. Finally, in order to
establish some kind of contact with
the sloivs across the way we dug u
tunnel from the hotel to the cellar of
one of llieni and t!:iis were enabled
to secure grocery supplies and other
necessities.
"On one occasion I was walking up
the main street of Leadville during
the early stages of a pretty bad bli/.-
zard when I felt a sudden sensation
in lay chest as though some one had
just pierced it with an icicle. I stag-
gered Into the hotel and my friends
bringing up a mirror showed me that
the tips of my ears and nose were
white. Quickly they got some snow
and rubbed them vigorously. Then
they applied ice-cold water to the
frozen members, gradually increasing
the temperature of it till it got quite
warm. After this they got hold of
me and poured down my throat all
'.lie whisky in the place. For twenty-
four hours after that I was uncoil-
'■(•It . When I 'came to.' however,
they told me 1 had had a narrow es-
cape, an attack of pneumonia barely
having been averted by their prompt
treatment and the administration of
whisky. Usually when n man got
pneumonia at that altitude he was
good for only about six days in this
world, unless we could get him down
the mountain to a lower altitude. Of
course, when the weather permitted,
wo did tills."
World Eating Lesc Food

Wnshingti— A - neral decrease in
food consumption in the last two
decade:! lias b.Tn noted by the Na-
tlonal industrial Conference board.
Meat, in particular, lias decreased in
use, the fall being TO per cent. Mech-
anization of agriculture and indus-
try and the accompanying decrease in
mainual labor was call I a contribut-

According to the sin'- ics gathered

lnods are tho base of a manual la-
borer's food and are an indication of

hoard says.
Parallel to the decrease in the use
of heavy foods by humankind is the
decrease in ihe use of the horse, j
which formerly required about three,
acres each for maintenance. From
ltno to 102.-L the board reports, the!
number of horses decreased by al
most n.ono.erx), thus, leaving 15,000.0001
acres of land for other uses. The!
hoard pointed out that the gradual!
disappearance of the horse is one of j
the contributing factors in tile faiTn
problem because of the increase in
