The wretched survivors of the Port Ar
thur garrison who escaped japanese ven
geance have, it is said, been tortured and
executed by the Chinese authorities for
their failure to hold the city. The war al
together has brought fearful revelation
of Asiatic barbarism. Is this the fruit of
centuries of Confucius and Buddha,
whose sublime tenets have thrown some
of our Western philosophers into such
an ecstacy? SO much so that some of
them claim that the civilization of Con-
fucius and Buddha is equal to that of
Christ

THE An-mo4N BUSINESS MEN.
Bourget, the French Writer, DenOminates
Thnin the Modern HeroeK.


In his remarkable work, "Outre Mcr"
NJ. Bourget, the noted French writer,
sums up his comments on tho American
business man as follows:
Those Inanipulntors OF dollars are def
nitcly the modcrn heroes, in whom tho
force OF attack and resistance is ssnalogous,
under forms far more different TO the at
tack and resistance of one Of the troopers
of the emperor. They die of it, after hav-
ing lived upon 1t, and after having lived
on that alone 1t ia the greatness, it is the
bourne Of this civilization The intellec-
tual life is in he baok yround--in the back
ground the sentimental life, in the back
ground even the roll -iuus life. The volun.
tary life consumes al the sap of the indi-
viduality. IL sometimes sccms SO over
done does IL appear, to work in vacuum
and withou5 aim.
The Americans often permit themselves
the justified pleasantly OF saying that If
one puts the whole of France into the cen.
ter OF Texas there would still b. a great
deal OF Texas around IL. IL Is well 60 add
that this enormous Texas has not more
than 3, 600, 900 inhabitants Florida has
no. 400, 600, and it takes l4 hours IN TIE
train to como up from Lake Worth TO
Jacksonville. Thirty states out of 40 aro
In analogous conditions. That is the se-
cret Of this civilization. II has not passed
the period OF conquest Its prodigious
originality resides in this--that the con
queror has attained with the first stroke
the refinement Of the MOST advanced ciyili-
zation. Nd similar phenomenon has ever
been seen. twill never be seen again. 1t
IL therefore that the leaders Of that con
quest OF unique order, the business men,
do not resemble our exchange men, nor
industrial people, our manufacturers or
our engineers any more than Chicago re-
semblcs Paris or Minneapolis Elcrnnca--
prefer the towns of old Europe, but
admire tho business men of the now world.
Now the work done by them with strokes
OF improvised will are not worth the work
which centuries have elaborated with us,
but the actual constructors OF this country

LoesTSRs Rzp LIZARDS.
9neir Power of Reproducing Amputatcu
Parts of Their Bodies.

That the common crawfish has the pow
er of reproducing an eye which may be
purposoly removed or lost through acci-
dent is a. curious fact In natural history
that Is quite familiar to the naturalists.
Other small creatures of the animal king.
dOm, most notably the lobster and the
lizard, possess faculties OF reproduction of
parts equally wonderful as that of the
crawflsh-viz, the power TO grow new
claws and tails in place of the original,
which have been lost or removed. Grant
Allen has told MS that "eyefy fragment OF
every organism has in 1t the power 10 re-
build in its entirety another organism like
the one of which it once formed COM
pound element, - but we have yet to see
the case of u human being budding q
new eye in the empty socket or growing
new leg or arm on an amputated stump.
Among the lower animals the reverse IL
true in many Instances, but as only the
lobster end lizRrd arc alluded 10 above
will conhne this note TO that peculiar
power ms observed in those animals. In
the case Of the lobster he cnn bc made to
assist in the experiment, for he will am
putato or break or either OF his larger
arms and their terminating claws If only
slightly ticklcd or irritated with a small
stick or straw. The younger individuals
are bost for this experiment., as the arm is
more easily broken off and more rapidly
reproduced.
NJ. ChilCot2's experiments prove that
yearling lobster will perfectly and wholly
reproduce an amputated ann from tho
body 20 the terminus OF the claw in 30
days, or about seven weeks. Arguing In
an opposite direction from this same
standpoint, 10 seems az N the severed arm
would also Immediately begin the work OF
reproduction and grow new lobster on
its mutilatcd end in something like a year
or year ard haif, but that appears &C.
bc feat beyond even the wonderfully fer.
tile and complex powers OF nature. In
the lobster OF two years OF age it takes
from 20 TO 30 days TO reproduce tho am.
putated part the ratio increasing with
age until the fourth year after which re.
production Is uncCrtain and nevgr perfect
A marked characteristic Of the lizard
family Is tho power OF growing now tails
In case such feat becomes an absolute
necessity the time occupied In repairing
damages to the caudal appondage varying
with age, just as IL does ina tho case OF the
lohstcr's clnw. The authority referred %
first above Srys that "a new tail will grow
with Eurprlsing pTcmptiindc,n Tut docs
not give exGct data. In the island a
BorneO, where the climate Is moist and
hot, Williams says they will grow out In
80 days. "A marked contrast to the rule is
the hooded" lizard Of Australia, which
cannot reproduce broken tail at all, but
invariably dies as the result Of such an In

THE AYLSWORTH WILL.

Tho contest over the Will OF the late
Judge Eli Aylsworth was continued in
the municipal court this afternoon.
There was the usual array OF witnesses
present, but the time was too short to ex-
anime them. Lawyer Green handed over
10 attorney Brown the original copies of
the will of 1883 and codicil of 1885, made
previous to the will under dispute.
The line of questioning was taken up
where 1t was left off last week and per-
tanned mainly to the characteristics of
the wills. The ion
of Lawyer Thomas q. Greene was
resumed. Concerning the first interview
relating to the will OF 1892, witness said
his remembrance OF 1t was general, but
he believed he received q partial list of
annuities intended for members of the
family.
Mr.. Aylsworth never informed witness
OF the amount OF property he had or OF
his income.
The hearing was continued to tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock.

CompIainants in East Providence
Tax Case Make Another Move.

The complainants I'm the case of Nc
Iwiggan against Hunter, which involves
the legality OF the tax assessment In
East Providence, have made another
move. Today they filed motion
In the appellate division praying
TO amend their declaration in the original
Dill by inserting words to the effect that
the assessors Intentionally omitted
TO tax the property OF the Grosvenordale
Manufacturing Company and thus have
rendered the assessment void. This
phase OF the question IL somewhat
more important than the point
raised In the original bill, which asserted
that the tax was illegal because he meet
ing OF the assessors had not been
duly advertised according TO law.
The amendment prayed for involves
the question whether corporation
can be legally exempted from
taxation even though there Is
special statute so exempting IL. The
matter has never been decided in this
State, aud the decisions elsewhere are
somewhat conflicting.

Mr.. LEAvITT'S EXHIBITION

The visitor to Mr.. T.. c. Leavitt's studio
during his present exhibition will have
but one regret-that he cannot have the
whole collection. But IL one Is fortunate
enough to have an acquaintance with the
artist he will find 1t doubly hard to leave
the pictures aud their painters pleasant
conversation.
Mr.. Leavitt would never be accused of
being an ''impressionist," as the word is
now used, for the impressions he gets
from nature are very much like those OF
ordinary people. He believes in painting
what people know about in nature, and
what they see, and in q way that anyone
can understand, with sufficient de-
tail that one does not have to
go outdoors and look in through the
window to get q sufficiently distant
view of the picture to see what it is all
about. The results OF the artists efforts,
therefore, are very pleasing to the major
ity of people. Years ago his work was
thought to have reac he'd the limit OF per-
fection as regards absolute reality and
truth Of color and drawing, but the pic
lures now exhibited show not only i'm
provements in these ways, but there is
more artistic feeling and better compo-
sition.
Perhaps the Improvement is shown
most in the broader treatment that gives
a certain unity and wholeness to each
canvas. One does not consider the separ-
ate parts at once but the whole subject oc-
cupies the attention first although there
is even more detail than in previous work.
To mention individual pictures would
be difficult, for all are good and while one
likes roses best another prefers fruit and
all are equally well painted. Perhaps the
representations of fish will attract most
attention from the fact that the fish are
not repulsively dead as they are apt to be
in most attempts at such reproduction.
