 Awful Defeat of the Chinese by Jap
 amese In Corea.
 LONDON, Sept 19.-A dispatch from Ping Yang, Corea, dated yesterday says every hour adds to the crushing charac- ter of the Chinese defeat. The tot"l loss Of tho Chinese during the two day battle is now said to be over 17,001 men-kilied, wounded and prisoners.
 The Japanese cavalry is continuing in pursuit of the Chinese who succeeded in escaping, and attachments of troopers continue bringing ill squads of captured Chinese.
 The thinese prisoners not wounded were paraded yesterday in circle of Japanese troops and was seen to num- Der IA 300. II is probable this number will be increased in the next few days by prisoners who are being constantly brought in by Japanese cavalry. Many of the Chinese captured were found hid ing in quiet portions of lhe city.
 Besides General Tso Fonk- Wais, com. mander in chief Manchurin army, who fought desperately to the last. and only surrendered when badly wounded, the Japanese captured four other important commanders of the Chinese forces, namely: General Tso Pack Woi, Gen. Wei Ink Wei, General Nayu Row Eng and General Kin Lin, practically all the effective Chinese staff.
 Chinese prisoners will be sent to Japan in patches Of 1000 on board Japanese transports at anchor in Ia Tong river

For two years and a half this party has

HOW BULLETS ARE CAUGHT.
One of the Great COnjuring Tricks
Neatly Explained.

One of the Great COnjuring Tricks
Neatly Explained.
From the Boston Sunday Post.
The adage that there Is nothing new
under the sun has only been questioned in
the matter of tricks performed by ma
giciars, conjurers. prestidigitateurs and
others who deal in that which Is a mys-
terry to the eye. The catching of bullets
by Prof Hermann seemed to climax
series of mysteries for which that clever
dealer in the mystic art was responsible.
Speal irg of the bullet-catching trick in
particular, Prof F. ID. Hewes. who Is also
a dealer in. the art mystic, said yesterday:
There are literally but few tricks in
magic. The so-called new ones presented
to the public from time to time by our
leading magicians, con jurers or whatever
they call themselves are simply the revival
of some old experiments clothed in a new
form. The catching of bullets is not by
any n cans a new trick, for it Is almost as
old as magic itself. l remember seeing the
old 'Fakir of Ava perform the same trick.
only in a different manner, when l was a
small boy The catching of the bullet Is
very easily explained. In the first place. to
accomplish it the corjurer must procure an
od-style cap-lOck, smoOth-bore musket,
some powder, caps and leaden bullet.
deception. Now we come to the ramrod.
Therein lies the whole mystery Of the
trick. 1t is constructed with small
metallic tube, closed at one end. and so ar
ranged as to become detached from the
end of the ramrod at will.
Having explained the construction of all
the appliances. We will now proceed to do
the trick. The gun, bullet, powder and
caps are freely given for examination. The
performer requests some one to put the
charge Of powder into the gun. Next he
inserts small piece Of paper, and rams
1t down, and by a twist Of the ramrod to
the left, the small metal tube is dislodged
from the point and remains within the gun
barrel. Now the bullet is marked and placed
in the gun by one Of the audience; again
the professor rams 1t down. Now, by a
contrary twist, the metal tube become fast
to the ramrod 50 that In withdrawing II
the bullet Is removed.
THE performer now palms the marked
bullet, and all that remains to do Is to go
through the motions of catching 1t when
the gun is discharged, and the spectators
are thoroughly mystifiej. You see, 1t Is all
very simple when you know how. Notwith-
standing this, Hermann is the cleverest
man with his hands that ever donned a
dress coat Kellar Is a great inventor and
wonderful mathematician, but not the
conjurer and entertainer that Hermann is.
He has the credit of inventing many new
tricks and decisions. when, in reality. he
has only resurrected some old experiment
and brushed off the mold Of time and re-
christened it,"

rom the Louisville Post.
A good story is now being told at the ex-
pense Of a well-known Louisville LAWYER IL
runs thus: Two women applied to the law
Yer on the same day. One wanted TO be
made a femme sole. the other wanted a d.
vorce. By some hocus-pocus sort OF a
change. the Names Of the women were mix
ell. and the woman who wanted TO be en-
powered TO act as a single woman was
granted a divorce. and vice versa
1t happened that the husband of the wo-
man who wanted to be made a femme sole
was drummer. and in reading the paper
from Louisville. while he was IN Texas. ne
saw where his wife lad been granted a d.
vorce. She knew nothing of the matter un-
til her husband wrote home and wanted 70
know what was the matter, and what ne
had done that she had gotten a divorce He
said ne had transferred all his property to
her and did not know how to account for
her strange actions. Then she consulted her
lawyer, and the apparent mystery was
made plain She only wanted TO be made a
femme sole, whereas she had been divorced.
Rumo- has IL that the husband has re-
turned from Texas and fully understands
the circumstances in the case, but is afraid
TO visit his own house until he and his wife

Aldabra Islands. near Madagascar, but
they were wiped out by greedy man.
There used to be a giant species Of turtle
in Nautilus. Van Neck, the discoverer Of
the Dodo. found some of these, which were
SO large that six men could be seated in a
single shell. Another authority states that
1000 or 5000 of them were sometimes seen
in one drove. The largest land turtles
known to have existed at any time are dug
up in fossil shape IN the Sivalik hills of
Asia. They attained length of seven feet
and weight of about 900 pounds. Plenty
of fossil turtles four feet long are discover
ed In Montana and Dakota. However,
there Is more than one species of marine
tortoise today that surpasses In size the
SiVal1k turtles. The loggerhead reaches a
weight of 1,6UO pounds and length of nine
feet. while the comparatively rare leather
back grows to even greater dimensions.
The loggerhead is very fast and strong
swimmer. He is often seen many miles
from land floating on the waves. Unlike
the other great sea turtles, which prefer
a vegetable diet, the loggerhead is carnlv-
orous. He has very powerful jaws and
with them easily cracks the shells of large
conchs. eating the meat. Sometimes the oil
from the fat of this reptile is smeared on
the sides OF vessels to keep shipworms from
eating the wood. Hunting for the great
sea tortoises affords a good living to many
thousands OF fishermen. Most important of
them, Of course, Is the tortoise-shell tur-
tie. Though 1t is a vegetable feeder, 1t is
much more fierce than the carnivorous log
inficting painful wounds.
The Tortoise Shell.
The finest tortoise shell comes from the
Indian Archipelago, and is shipped from
Singapore. but much Of it is obtained on
the Florida coast. There are three rows
of plates on the back. In the central row
are five plates, and in each of the other
four plates, the latter containing the best
material. Besides these there are twenty
five small plates around the edge of the
away, being considered worthless, but at
present 1t is very highly valued for its deli
cacy of coloring. Nowadays beautiful
cows horns.
The big swapping turtle Of Louisiana,
Mississippi and Arkansas attains a length
of three feet and Is enormously strong. 1t
will bite stick an inch thick to pieces.
On Its tongue are two processes. which
look like angle worms, and IT is supposed
that these are used to attract fish within
reaching distance. The head of a snap
ping turtle will bite for hours after it has
been cut off, and the heart will continue to
beat for twenty-four hours after being re-
moved from the body.
DIR. Baur says that the most extraordinary
tortoise in the world from one point of
view exists in New Guinea The strange
thing about II is that only one specimen
has ever been found, now preserved In the
Australian Museum, and no species nearly
resembling 1t is known to be alive. though
1t bears some liker ess to an extinct form.
