Admiral skerritt on the War.

Admiral Skerrtt, who arrived from
Yokohama on the China did not have
much to say about the war He says the
Japanese have about 5000 soldiers at
Seoul, and that they have fortified the
hills surrounding Seoul. They have com
plete command of the place. They have
also seized all the saInpans and secured
all the pilots at Chemulpo, so that the
Chinese cannot effect landing there.
China's only way to get into Korea is TO
send troops down the peninsula from
Manchuria. The admiral, while admit
ting that so far the japanese have the best
of the conflict, would not hazard an opin-
ion as to the outcome of the war.
The new Japanese minister to the
United States, Mr., Kurino, was also a
passenger on the China. He was taken in
charge by the japanese consul as soon as
he landed and was inaccessible to news
paper men. Mr.. Kurino declined to make
any statement. He said when he left the
situation between Japan and China was
critical Tokyo however, was so far from
the seat of war that he was unable to get
any authentic information. When he left,
the japanese were considering a plan to
lay torpedoes to protect Yokohama, but

When the China sailed, 1t was definite
ly known in Yokohama that there had
been naval engagement during which
the transport Kow Shung had been sunk,
the government having been unable to
longer suppress the facts, but that was all

were rumors that a portion of the Japa-
nese fleet was blocked by the Chinese and
that the Japanese had lost one or two yes

There were also reports that the Japa.

Epvnt,an Geometry.

The Ahmes papyrus doubtless repre-
sents the most advanced attachments OF
the Egyptians in arithmetic and geom-
etry. 1t is remarkable that they should
have reached so great proficiency in
mathematics at so remote a period of
antiquity. But strange indeed is the
fact that during the next 3, 900 years
they should have made no progress
whatsoever in it.
All the knowledge Of geometry which
they possessed when Greek scholars Wis
tied them, six centuries B. O., was
doubtless known to them 1000 years
earlier, when they built those stupen-
dous and gigantic structures, the pyra-
mids. An explanation for this stagna-
ton of learning has been sought in the
fact that their early discoveries in math-
ematics and medicine had the misfor-
tune Of being entered upon their sacred
books, and that in after ages it was
considered heretioal to augment or mod
ify anything therein. Thus the books
themselves closed the gates to progress.

this:

For every one knows that if there Is

them know it, sure as sure as can be-
They call the well up there the
"whistling we'll, " although it doesn't
whistle now. But that isn't any fault
of the well. This we'll was dug about
so years ago by the father of Colonel
Flint, who now occupies the farm. He
put it down 40 feet, but found no water
and dug no farther Instead of water, a
strong current of air came from the
we'll at times. The opening was cover
