FNo's NE Neio Iork Herald Of Yesterday.
TIT Herald has been able TO fully refute ths
sensational charges made against the japanese
to the effect that after the battles around Port
Arthur they r~elapsed into such barbarism and
committed such horrible atrocities that all the
foreign war correspondents left Field Marshal
Oyama's army In disgust as a protest on the
part OF our Western civilization The Herald
has since then shown on several occasions the
righteousness OF the sensational story and as
s%ertions, and yesterday 1t printed a letter from
It's special correspondent-the same whose work
appears to-day--giv!ng evidence and proof that
the so-called berbarities were simply the result
of fair fighting by men driven to madness at the
sight Of the bodies of their comrades shockingly
mutilated by the Chinese. II was retribution,
not butchery. We printed Mt the same time a
cable despatch from the London Times wherein
Its special correspondent, who had witnessed
the struggles around Port Arthur. gave II as
his opinion that the acts OF the Japanese were
perfectly t1cusable and iustlnable.
Fror, the Netc York Tribune.
Two important pieces Of testimony. bearing on
the case, come simultaneously 10 hand from
different and Independent sources. One comes
from the London Times, n journal that never
has been suspected Of anything remotely re-
sembling Partially for Japan. Its correspond
CIV nv hhooh iuh utClhTes tADilCltly, OF tne hl-
thority OF the foreign correspondents who were
actually At Port Arthur. that the conduct Of the
japanese troops was no worse than that Of the
best European armies, that their so-called ex-
cesses, while regrettable, were excusable, and
that the story OF correspondents fleeing In hor-
ror and disgust Is utterly untrue Instead of
treating the Inhabitants with cruelty, the Japan
ese are protecting them and feeding them. The
other testimony comes from n correspondent OF
the Nsu York Herald who was with the Japan
tse army at the capture Of Port Arthur and saw
what occurred there. He relates that the Japan
ese, while marching down the Regents Sword
peninsula, treated the inhabitants with all kind
ness and consideration.
So far as present testimony Roee, to say that
the Japanese have ralapsed into barbarism. or
have come down n the savage Level of their
tJes, is an absurd m!sstatement. War 10 inev-
itably cruel. But on the side of the victors the
present war mas been In general no more so than
any struggle between the most civilized and
humane of Western powers.

II we were up in old Maine, the Pine Tree
State, just now, We would Join the party, and
electioneer for the party, which demands that
the pine cone shall be chosen as the emblem Of
the state. There is no other fitting emblem for
IL. We repeat that the pine cone is the thing.
and we call upon all true sons and daughters OF
the biggest of the Yankee States 10 vote for IL.
Upon the seal OF the State OF Maine there is a
pine tree, over which shines a hve-cOrnered
star, under which is the States proud motto,
near which stand a farmer with his sickle aud
"A sailor beside his anchor. In the centre OF all
is the pine, beautiful 10 behold, fragrant to the
smell, useful IN the husbandman and ship
builder, valuable in and serviceable
In the making OF all kinds Of boards. Maine
may well be proud of the pine which enriches
her citizens. adorns her landscapes. and gives
her the logs needed for warmth when the snow
lies thick upon hill and dale. The pine cone
will be her emblem So long as her
old folks and youngsters keep their senses. We
say that the people who oppose it in the election
for a State emblem that Is now going or must
be both mean and unpatrlotic, and it is known
that = mean person up in Maine is very mean.
Would they tear the pine tree from the ancient
seAlf Then they had better tear down the star,
obliterNte "DiriEo," slay the farmer with his
own sickle, aud bury the sailor under
the anchor upon which he leans. We
tell them again that tho pine cone Is
the thing. and that II will be most best for them
TO vote Tor II In the election. Oh. yea. indeed.
ne like the mayiOwer. the golden rod. the apple

more pleasing and appropriate than any Of them

people and the school children 70 vote against.
We appeal 10 these papers, and We must hops

AN ODD HINooo CUSTOM.
Old Mon Go to Jail to Atone for tho

Old Mon Go to Jail to Atone for tho
Crimes of tho Young.
A student of life and manners in the
Punjaub has been struck by the large
proportion of very old men in the
Indian jails, says the London News
In the prison ut Mooltan there were
last year seventeen life prisoners
whose total ages were found to amount
to more than eleven hundred years
two of them being patriarchs of up
ward of eighty. The remarkable fact
is attributed partly TO the great i'm
provement in the economy of Indian
jails, since the exposure of their mis-
management some years ago, but more
directly to the prevalent practice
when crime has been committed of
handing over the least useful member
of the family as sort of vicarious
offering to justice.
On this point the inspector general
of Indian prisons observes that the
confinement which conviction entails
Is of course less irlisome TO the aged
than to the young. Moreover" he
continued, 1.-The people know that a
specially comfortable place in the
shape of good food, ample clothing, a
special dietary. the lightcst of work,
and society not entirely uncongenial
awaits the old man in our jai!s." 4
case has been cited in which man
had been stranglcd The person to
whom the crime. by his own coufcs-
sion. was brought home was feeble
old fellow who had been paraly2cd in
both arms for twenty years, and could
not have committed the crime. But
as his family all said he did it and he
himself said he did, and there we're
plenty of eye witnesses" the old ma
went cheerfully to Jail and lies there
still.

A BOYS PLUCK.
Nine-Year-Oid David Captures = Thirty
Two Pound Carp.

Nine-Year-Oid David Captures y Thirty
Two Pound Carp.
An exciting combat between a nine
year-old boy and thirty-two-pound
German carp took place on James
Moore's farm, near Bristol, says the
Philadelphia Record The Neshaminy
creek in rainy seasons fills the bitches
of adjacent farms with water from
eighteen inches to two feet deep. The
other day David Cherry, the young son
of John Cherry, of this place, and two
small companions went fishing up the
creek. In one of the open bitches on
the Moore farm the lads espied three
huge carp Topping about, the water
being too shallow for them to swim
without greatly disturbing the sur
face. David, pluckier than his play
mates, jumped into the ditch and
seized the largest of the monster fish.
The carp, nearly as big as the boy, had
the advantage, being in it's native ele-
ment. Young Cherry had tight hold
of it, but the carp plunged through
the water and mud, dragging the lad
behind. The boys on shore thought
their companion would surely be
drowned, for often his whole body was
under water At last the fish grew so
weary in his mighty efforts to escape
his captor that he could be thrown ont
upon the bank. Then all three boys
jumped upon the carp and held him to
the ground until he had gasped out his
life. They lugScd their trophy home
and put il on the scales. The fish
weig led thirtv-two hounds.

UNLuCNY GEMS IN AMERICA.

They Have nj Lens: Made Fortunes for
the Owners of he Mines.
Opals have proved bonanza down
in New Mexico, where two localities
are worked, one near Los Ccrrillos ana
the other in Grant county. says the St
Louis Globc-Dcm ocrat. The former
has been worked for many centuries
probably. as hundreds of stone ha'..
mcrs arc found scattered about the
place. The mining has been done by
means of u shaft sunk scventy-fivc feet,
Mt the bottom of which is lode run
ming nearly east and west. Thousands
of stones were obtained during the last
two years, according to Mr.. Kunz.
many of them of fine blue color. quite
equal to the best Persian A single
stone has been sold for about four
thousand dollars. The discoveries
have proved specially valuable at a
time when the Persian mines have al
most ceased to yield. The stones from
the Grant county mines are not an
ideal turquoise blue, but are often
slightly tinted with green. A heap of
debris, fifty feet in height, and guam
titles of small fragments of weathered
turquoise show that this locality, like
the other, was extensively worked by
the aborigines. The use made of these
stones by the natives is said to be part
ly religious. Opal raining has proved
profitable at Whclan, WASH, where
this gem was first found by YonlSers
jeweler in n heap of rock thrown ont
during the excavation for well.
These fine opals vary in size from half
a pea to hens egg, the emaller ones
being frequently of very rich colors.
The locality where they are found is
known as Gem City now, possibly from
the fact that settlement of twenty
miners has been formed at the mine.

The Perfect E.-.

In McClure's Magazine Prof. Henry
Crummond discusses tie question of
where man got his cars Nature, he
holds, seldom makes anything new;
her method of creation is to adopt
something old. So when land animals
were determined on, and nature started
out to manufacture ears for them, she
made them out of old breathing appa-
ratus. She saw, Prof. Drummond con-
tends, that If water could pass through
a hole in the neck, such as fishes have,
sound could pass likewise, thereupon
she brought certain species adapted to
her purpose to shore, and set to work
upon the Eve gill-slits and elaborated
the whole in hearing organ This
was not quick process, but the slow
labor of ages, but finally was produced
the perfect ear, and pan was not Gre
ated until the wort/was done.

Referring to the recent order of the

dent ut Berlin calls our attention to

FROZEN AIR.
Varying Atmospheric Conditions Above
the Earth.

Varying Atmospheric Conditions Above
the Earth.
The recent experiments in France in
measuring the temperature of the
higher regions of the atmosphere by
means of balloons furnished with au-
tomato recording Instruments have
suggested the question whether the air
continues to be 'air," in the sense in
which we understand IL, at very
great elevation from the earth. The
diminution of temperature is so rapid
as to indicate that in interstellar space
It must sink at least as low as four
hundred and fifty or five hundred de-
grees Fahrenheit below zero, and per-
haps much lower.
But at far less extreme degrees Of
cold than these, oxygen and nitrogen,
the principal constituents of air, have
been cxperimcntally liquefied and SOL
idiflcd. What then is the condition of
the air at heights where the tempcra-
turc is so low?
NJ. de Fouvielle answers that the air
there closes its gaseous condition and
becomes changed into series of mi
mute crystals or drops which follow the
earth in its motion through space, and
are constantly vaporizcd when falling
in regions where the temperature is
somewhat above their point of liquefac-
ton or evaporation"
What an astonishing thing, in its eff
fects, is temperature! On the earth
iron is solid, in the sun it is vapor;
temperature makes the difference.
At the equator water is always a
liquid, in the polar regions much of it
is continually solid-difference of
temperature again.
The air we live in is gaseous at and
near the surface of the globe. but, if NJ.
de Fouvielle is right at an elevation of
few miles above the ground air is
either liquid or solid, or both. And
once again variation of temperature
plays the chief part in producing diff
ferences of condition.

AN UNPLEASANT COUNTRY.

Some OF the Objections to Living In North
erD Borneo.
The northern half of the island of
Borneo is the queerest and most I'M
satisfactory place to live that one can
imagine, thinks the st. Louis Globe
Democrat II is land of constant re-
curing phenomena, where cyclones
are frequent and deluges of water very
common. The vegetation in that half
is very fine, but in all probability the
widest and most tangled on earth
not even excepting that of Africa. The
cause of all the trouble is the shallow
condition of the sea north of II, great
shoals of sand existing few miles out
which extend along its entire northern
length These shoals are covered by q
depth of water not over five feet deep.
The constantly recurring winds that
blow in that climate change to hurri-
canes and sweep the smaller islands OF
all visible life. When such a storm
strikes the sand shoals north of Bor-
neo it sweeps up the shallow salt water
in its course and drenches the island
with it. Often 1t gathers up sand,
great masses of 1t, from the clear
swept shoal and whirls it for miles
high over the island, carrying it into
the island and scattering it every
where. The work of these storms does
not always end with that, Entire
shoals of fish, of all sizes, have been
swept up time and again by the fierce
wind with the water and sand and
scattered about Borneo In some places
the ground would be literally covered
with fish, enough to supply heavy
population for weeks. But such luck
is no reparation for the evil the winds
do, and consequently the northern half
will never be inhabited by those who
value their lives.
