NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW ADVERTISER. Kennan's RE 7 Siberian Papers. EADERS of the NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW may be interested in knowing something more about Mr. Kennan's remarkable papers on Siberia and the Exile System," which are now appearing from month to month in the pages of The Century Magazine. The articles are the result of a journey through Siberia made by Mr. Kennan (accompanied by Mr. Frost, artist and photographer), during which he made the acquaintance of hundreds of political exiles, and examined every important mine and prison in Siberia. Four years spent in that country in the service of the Russian Overland Telegraph Company had fitted him for his task, and as his opinions were known to be favorable to Russia, he was granted unusual facilities by the Government for the researches which he is now describing in The Century. The result of this investigation was to change completely his views as to the Exile System, and to prove to him that the system had not been misrepresented by such writers as Stepniak and Prince Krapotkin, and that the horrors of exile life had not been too strongly pictured. The articles are written in the interest of humanity, freedom and good government, and it is hoped that their publication will not be without effect. As is already well known, Mr. Kennan has been "blacklisted" by the Russian Government, and copies of The Century have his articles torn out of them by customs officials on the frontier of the Tsar's dominions. The publication of the articles was begun in November, 1887, and they will be continued through the coming year. New readers will have no difficulty in beginning at any time, and they can get the back numbers at a low price (see special offer below) if they want all the papers.

The automatic action consists of a tracker board, or miniature key-board, over which a perforated roll of paper passes, and the air is drawn through these holes into little tubes with such force as to open the re.d valves, like the fingers pressing the keys thus producing a wonderfully human-like execution. The tone is varied by different stops, each controlling a set of reeds, giving the same opportunities for shading as the key-board action. Any music ever written, from the difficult compositions of Beethoven. Chopin, and Wagner. to the simple Gospel hymns, can be performed upon this organ, with perfect execution and finish, by persons totally unacquainted with the first principles of music. If you will call at our Warerooms we will prove to you that these organs are all that are claimed for them; or if you will send us your name and address we will mail you a catalogue containing indorsements from some of the most prominent citizens of New York.
