SHANGHAI, Aug. 12.-The Japanese
squadron that attacked Wie-Hai-Wei
on Friday, reports of which engage
ment were cabled to The Associated
Press yesterday, con sisted of 20 vessels.
II is hot definitely known how many
of the fleet we're men-of-war. The war
ships drew up in line of battle off the
port and opened fire early Friday
morning. There were no Chinese war
ships in the vicinity, and the engage
msnt was entirely between the Jap
anese men-of-war and the forts.
The whereabouts of the Chinese fleet
was unknown. The forts. however,
were able without much difficulty 10
repulse the attack. About so shots
were discharged, but no material dam
age was done on either side. The
soldiers manning the guns of the forth
fications showed themselves to be
lamentably deficient in craftsmanship.
Most of their shots We're ill-directed,
the shells either falling short Of the
vessels aimed at or going wide of the
mark.
When the fleet withdrew to Fort
Arthur, which place 1t attacked Friday
evening, little if any damage was done.
The operations are regarded as having
been no attempt to conquer Wei-Hal-
Wei or Fort Arthur, but simply ruses
on the part OF the Japanese government
to ascertain the exact position and
strength Of the Chinese guns at the
two places. On Thursday last two
small gunboats were sighted going al
full speed in the direction lien Tsin.

PRESERVATION OF EGGS.

The egg shell is perforated by a
myriad of small pores, which a only
be- perceived by the aid Of a microscope.
Their effect is evident, because it is by
them that day by day the albumen
e~vaporates and gives place to air.
When the egg is completely full, q
fluid passes constantly towards the
pores, and is the principal agent of
corruption; this corruption is mani
tested more rapidly in warm than in
cold weather. An egg absolutely fresh
is absolutely and p~roverbially full, but
in the stale eggs there is a proportion
ately empty place caused by the loss
Of albumen by evaporation. If the
tongue is applied to the end of a fresh
egg, it is felt to be- completely cool; if
applied to q stale egg, it is found to be
warm, because the albumen of the new
egg, being in contact with the shell, alb
serbs the heat of the tongue more rap
idly than the air contained In the shell
of the stale egg. By intercepting the
air and preventing it from penetrating
the shell, so as not to kill the germ and
prevent its Matching, the egg a be
preserved longer than in any other
way. There have been obtained, says
a French writer, chickens has ched
from eggs keptfor two years in varnish
(glaze) This, he states, may be thus
prepared: Dissolve some gum lac in
a sufficient quantity of alcohol to make
a light glaze; put in each egg, and
when all the eggs are completely dry,
pack them in bran, wool or sawdust,
taking care to place the large end up
wards, and preventing them fromdam-
age or rolling about. When the eggs
are wanted, carefully remove the glaze
with some alcohol, and they will be
found in the same state as when they
were enveloped, that is to say, good TO
eat or to hatch. This method is said
to be the best and the most sure that
has vet been tried.-EIchGnge.

for a moment it must have been a bat,
but looking up, I saw a swinging rope,
with a stout stick tied in the middle on
the end. | knew not what to think. I
gazed at it in a stupeied manner, and
observing a piece of paper tied TO the
stick, I grasped it and read a few lines
in pencil as folio VS.:

On reaching the top I found myself
face to face with two negro men, who
led me a short distance to a buggy,
where, who should I find, but Jack
Thornton. He silently grasped my
hand, but cautioned me not to speak q
word. We were not over an hour in
reaching the Hall, where I was put to
bed without disturbing the household.
Next morning Jack came in my
room with a warm toddy, and informed
AAO UAA3V MY g4uAA was CAA " NJ hAO
that I might make my toilet, that he
had a plan on foot for lots of fun for
the day, but not to mention anything
at all about my sudden disappearance,
as he had explained it all in a manner
to do me credit.
"On entering the breakfAs room I
found Kepler DeVann, Mr.. and Mrs.
Thornton, Miss Kate and Jack already
assembled, and they all looked very
mysterious, and appeared liable to ex-
plOde at any moment. / felt like flying
at the throat of De Vann and Kepler,
but a look from Jack restrained me. I
knew there was something wrong, and
demanded in no mild tone of voice the
meaning of all this mysterious and
~nonsensical hilarity, for everybody
was laughing until tears came in their
eyes. 1t must have been contagious,
for I could not refrain from laughing,
myself, although my pride and self
respect was wounded to the quick.
Jack edged himself on the opposite side
of the table and addressed the assem-
blage as follows:
"'This is my friend and fellow col
lege mate. During our college days he
played numerous practical jokes on
me, taking advantage of my ignorance,
and constantly kept me in hot water
so to speak, and I thought this about
the best chance I would get to pay him
off in his own corn. so this the culmina-
ton of a deep laid plot. Frank, you
have been hoodwinked, but if you will
call it even and bear no malice, I will
be your fast friend and brother"
"All present laughed, and old man
Thornton thought it the best joke of
the S. oson, but Miss Kate looked sym
pethetically at me, and stepping for
ward extended her hand:
"'Mr. Foster, I hope you may not
think me a party to this wretched joke
of brother Jacks, for l think it real

I shall do all in my power to make the
