Kate Field ON the Cycling Costume.
Women are becoming a sort Of cpl
demic, writes Kate Field ia her Wash
ington. One day they break out In
fencing; another in golf; third in
political prayer meetings.; a fourth In
street cleaning, etc Nothing, however,
obsesses the female mind as much az
wheeling"
Among those who know what bicycling
really is, End that the majority advocate
a costume that includes a skirt rather
than boomers and knickerbockers.
confess that from an artistic point Of
view agree with them, having lately
gazsd upon some women cyclists in
Turkish trousers most fearfully and
wonderfully made. Women experts
declare that the short skirt gives shem
quite as much freedom, and the seat
they take gives them just as much speed.
instead of bestriding a wheel man
ashton, they sit doWn as in a chair and
make no more display Of legs than in
ordinary walking. Esthetically SYM
psthize with these experts, having no
practical knowledge by which to be
guided, and until the sublime creation
of a costume that sets poetry to motion
fervently pray that women cyclists will
cling fondly to the skirts of their grand
mothers.

The Times correspondent says: " spent
three days with tho Chinese fleet gather
ing details Of the recent engagement off
the Yalu river in order to ascertain tho
cause of the heavy casualties to tho Arm
strong cruisers built in 1881
THE Chao- Yuen ana Yang-W were
unfit for battle, as they carried their orig
inal boilers which were neglected and
worn out. Their wheeling was ineifi-
oient from their station in the rear of the
second division to tho flank Of tho line
abreast. While the whole fleet was steam
ing ahead the ships were left far behind,
and owing to their isolated position fell
an easy prey to the enemy.
'Their guns We're useless from lack Of
suitable powder That used was is years
old and had been condemned Both ships
were therefore doomed from the outset
The Yang Wei, while burning, was ram
med by the Chin Yuen, which was escap-
ing from the action. Captain Fong of
the latter vessel has since been condemned
and executed. He was tho instigator Of
tho conspiracy against Admiral Lang
who was in command Of the Chinese
northern squadron.
"On the other flank also wore two
weak ships disastrously exposed to the
enemy's fire. The King Yuen was burn
ed and sunk. Her sister ship, the Lai-
Yuen, was saved though badly burned.
Chiefly owing to weak construction the
pumps were easily disabled, Tho ships
we're highly combustible having high bull
warks and no iron decks
''On the King Yuen tho captain and
first lieutenant were killed enrly in the
engagement and her crew probably lost
heart. The Lai-Yuen was brought to
port only by the sevorest exertions on tho
part Of her officers and crew, who were
all Chinese. Some Of those aboard OF her
distinguished themselves by saving tho
magazine.
The Ching Yuen, an Armstrong cruis-
or built in 1886, came off best. Fire
broke out on her three times. but was
promptly put down owing to the excellent
system Of pumps. Hor steam power en-
abled her to vancouver with minimum ex-
posture. One 81 contimeter she'll explod
ed in her starboard bunker, doing only
trivial damage. The ship was practically
uniniured.
''Her sister ship, the Chin Yuen, COM
manded by Cantonese captain during
/ tho time signaling was suspended from
the flagship owing to the loss Of the sig
nal halyards and the signal, men struck
out an independent line and attacked a
small Japanese vessel at close quarters.
she then turned back toward the Chinese
fleet and capsized, having apparently re-
ceived a torpedo The shooting on both
sides was indifferent
| Considering the prodigious number Of
| proiectiles thrown by the Japanese, the
effect was trifling except from the burn
ing. Tho Chinese ships show only four
hits from the heaviest japanese guns.
The Japanese greatly excelled the Chi
nese in discipline and tactical skill. The
principal lesson deductible from the bat
tic IS that it proved the extreme value d
speed, quick firing guns and scientific ma
neuyering
when FIRE broke out and the guns
crews were disordered, the japanese ship:

PRoPAGATING PLANTS.
Curious Method for fastening the Or.

processes for propagation are practiced

cutting with a knife a ring around a
branch of plant, one might i'm
agine that the intention was TO kin
the branch, but such is by no means
the object In view The cut having
been made piece Of wet moss is
wrapped and tied around the branch
at that point Beneath this protection
the sap eXudes from The wound and
little rootlets are developed. After a
few days the branch Is cut away from
the parent stem, being then itself a
complete plant with roots, already
to put In a pot This plan is adopted
with plants 81 slow growth, because
one plant may thus be split into half
a dozen or more of good size, instead
Of waiting for Seeding or little slip

VALUABLE SEA OTTER.
Its Beautiful and Costly Fur is
Rapidly Causing Its Extinction.

Its Beautiful and Costly Fur is
Rapidly Causing Its Extinction
The sea otter is the largest Of the
marten family, and is very unlike the
animal after which the family is
named 1t has a thick, clumsy body,
which, with the round, blunt head, is
from 3 IL to 4 feet in length. Unlike
those Of all other otters, the tail is
short and sumpy, being about one
fifth the length Of the head and body.
AS If to increase its value and hasten
it's destruction, the skin is much larger
than the body, like a mistit coat, and
lies loosely upon IL In many folds.
For this reason the stretched pelt is
always much wider and longer than
the animal that wore it.
The coat Of the full-grown sea otter
Is very dense, very fine ana its color
Is shimmering, lustrous black Ever
since the earliest discovery of the sea
otter by the Russians. its fur has been
eagerly sought by them, and the cash
prices of skins have always been so
high that there Is not, III the whole
United States, a museum rich enough
to afford a good series Of specimens.
Mr. Charles H. Townsend, the natural
list OF the United States fish commits
sion writes that iii 1891 the price Of
the best skins had reached $500 each,
and their value has been since increas-
