TO construct floating bridge and the first
thing the Chinese saw when the day came
was the japanese army crossing over to
their island.
E"There are the sketches" continued Mr..
Huga. showing views of the incidents.
They were made by artists attached to
the Japanese army. because it was i'm
possible in that light to get photogra phs.
< "After crossing the river at Pin Yam our
army came to the gates of the fortress,
which were very strongly defended. Sew

of GAMBIA seemed impregnable. 1t was
higher than the others and its situation,
up In the rocks, made the Chinese able to
rain down bullets like hail into the adj
vancing troops One of the common
soldiers of General Tacini.s command
stole away from the others and climbing
up the rocks at the side managed to enter
the fort. He risked his life, for be DIR pped

they were too much occupied at the ram
parts to pay any attention to him, and be-
fore they suspected anything he had sue
ceeded in opening the heavy gates. That
was an act of disobediencc, but as Hara-
da's' bravery led to the last gate being
taken he was promoted.
b. Washlzu stated that after the fall of
PiG-Yan ne had been sent home inyal-
ided, but be was full Of endless more in-

that the American press said verv little
about yet, though the Japanese papers are
full of it. and that is the question of Man
choora," said A. Huga. showing large
map covered with japanese characters.

The Graves of His Victims Were Scattered

for the fun of seeing them fall. The two
men had no cause for quarrel. They
were the prize killers of the same Sec
tion of the country. 1t was Spirit of
rivalry which made them swear to
shoot each other OH sight. Their friends
bet on the result of their first chance
rencounter. They met one night at u

down at tables opposite each other, with
their drawn six shooters resting on their
laps beneath their napkins. \ plate of

before Chunk, when he dropped his
hand III careless fashion and sent ball

One Of the Unknown Quantities.

There are many persons who talk very
learnedly about electricity and seem
to fancy that they have found out all
about it that is worth knowing. In the
face of ideas of this sort comes on an
accident without precedent indeed, one
that under ordinary circumstances
would be counted impossible. A work
man in oiling the machinery of n small
electric fan-one used merely for the
purpose of cooling the air in q business
house-accidentally touched the wire
and was instantly killed. The current
that runs the fan is said to have scarce
ly power enough TO give gentle shock
when touched An electrician who has
recently been making some important
experiments has demonstrated that by
using electricity i'll certain way 80
times the current usually employed for
executing criminals may be passed
through the human body without inju-
~. Is it not possible, then, that very
weak currents under certain conditions
may possess power hitherto unsupported?

1t is the opinion of the true gourmet
that of all marine p;lntish there is none
TO compare with the smelt (Osmerus
mordaxl This primary rank is its own
by reason of its delicacy and delicious
flavor, and when fried u light brown in
very fine bread crumbs and served with
melted butter there is none that dis
putes its pre-eminencc. Its delightful
flavor, however, rs well rs its peculiar
odor is evanescent Like the mackeral.
il cannot be too fresh.
1t is from its odor that the smelt de-
rives not only its familiar but Latin
name, an odOr so aggressive of sliced
cucumbers that. if its presence be mani
fest only to the sense of smell, people
are often dcluded into such supposition.
This odor is not marked except i'll the
freshly caught fish and disappears in
the cooking, giving place, however, to a
fitting resurrection of the smelt to an
olfactory sense still more savory and de
lightful. Market Review.
