the contest. The legations Of the TIVE
countries are expecting daily to hea
that decisive battle has been fought
This is based on the fact that the Jap
anese have been gradually closing If
around Pekin and the invading army
is compelled by force Of circumstances
to strike its blow at once or not at all
The intense cold which comes abou,
the middle of October makes this i'm
perative.
The Japanese troops are wholly un'
prepared for the rigorous climate above
Pekin, which is due within two weeks,
the climate of Japan being very mild,
even in the winter. The Chinese look
upon this as one of their chief hopes,
and the japanese appreciate that it is
imperative to concentrate their cam
paign for this year into the next few
weeks, and, if possible, days. For that
reason they are prepared to make an
heroic effort 10 decide the contest at
once. They are without heavy cloth
ing, camp equipage, ETC., for q cam.
paign in the bitter cold.

aster occurred.
The explosion at Evanston, which
resulted in no injury to anyone, oc-
Cured in the battery of Captain
Grimes. Captain Vose is in no way
held responsible for the Grand boule-
ward affair. The charge against him
involves the neglect of important
orders issued in consequence of
the explosion. When the ac-
cldent was Investigated it was
found that the shrapnel which
blew up was defective, and orders were
issued to all artillery officers TO remove
all the shrapnel of the kind which
had exploded. When the second ex-
plosion occurred at Evanston all the
batteries were examined and shells Of
the condemned variety were found in
the batteries of Captains Vose and
Grimes. The officers were unable to
explain why the order hai NOS been
carried out, aud court-martial Was
decided upon.

The two Officers, while serious, are
not likely TO result in their dismissal
from the service, as both have excel
lent records as army officers. They are
both stationed at Fort Riley.

told in substance of the explosion on
the lake front at Chicago aud of the

order issued for disseminating its use.

demned ammunition in Captain Vose'a
battery after the explosion and the risk

A Great Snake-E Eating Snake.

A wonderful snake has been added to
the collection of the London zoo. This
is the ophiophagus elaps, which Sir
Joseph Fayrer denominates as 'sproba-
bly, the largest and most formidable
venomous snake known" growing, as
it does, to a length Of twelve or four
teen feet or more The technical lame
o~phiophagus means ''snake-eater;" and
there seems to be no doubt that this
snake eats other ophidians, although it
also devours birds, fish, frogs and small
quadrupeds. 1t is found in India, Bur
NAH and the Philippines, in Java.
Borneo and Sumatra, and is more com
mon in Bengal, Burmah. Assam and
southern India than in the northwest
and central part of the Indian region.
The snake is a ear relation of the IA
nous cobra di capello. and, like the
latter, possesses a hood. which, how
ever, is narrower than in the cobra.
Most snakes get out of mems a and
will avoid rather than court attack:
but the snake-eater is said to be an
aggressive ophidian. and not ONLY to
attack OF its W free will, but even to
pursue an enemy.-Chicago Post.
