ON A WAR FOOTING.
japan Increasing Her Army and Naval
Strength.

oANGu7AMs
ST. PETERSBURG. .-Advices to the
Novoe Vremya, from Vladivostock,
say that Japan is assiduously raising
her army and navy to war footing.
Two cruisers, bought in Peru, have
already arrived, and crews will shortly
be sent to England to bring out three
ironclads, each of $4,000 tons, which
have been ordered there. A strong
and warlike temper prevails in Japan.
The correspondent further says that
the Japanese imperial body guard has
been sent to the Island of Form osa,
where the rebels are supported by the
vicerOys of Southern China, who send
arms and ammunition to maintain n
stubborn resistance. The japanese
haye blown up the Notifications at
Port Arthur. Cholera is raging in Co
rea and the Liao Tung peninsula. The
japanese dominate COrea and hold the
king prisoner.

PocATELLo, William Ross, of

been heard in America. In her early youth
she was circus performer. and today her
legs are as strong as the tail of a kanga-
roo. No pose Is too difficult for her, no
leap too sudden.
It would be impossible to catalogue the
pretty girls of the Paris music halls. They
are all chic. painstaking, graceful spirited.
and each has been taught her songs, one
by one, by competent masters. Each night
each gesture is the same. There is none
of the painful folly, loose movements and
unadulterated Stiffness familiar to the
American stage. We have the prettiest
women in the world, yet who can name in
artistic among them outside of European
trained grand opera singers? In Paris The
traditional gestures are so binding that
there is sometimes complaint of monotony.
But, as even in cafe-concert there may
not be always singers and singers only,
even in duets, the management presents
from time to time jugglers and ventrilo-
qusts, little girls who play the French
horn. There are equilibrists, dressed like
Venetian mobiles and straddling between
two chair backs, entire families of acrobats
who stand on each others heads and blink

Dut less 1aSt tnan the average armored
W. Laird Cloves has taken the trouble
to gather together all available data con-
corning actual cases of ramming. The
cases thus assembled number seventy-four,
having occurred at various dates between
1861 and 1873. They involve the destruc-
ton Of fifteen ships, but the conclusion in
dicated seems to be that the danger to the
rammed. During our own civil war the
Albemarle, an improvised confederate ram.
with two guns, was attacked by eight
Union vessels, which had particular orders
abled early in the encounter, and she
fought the whole action with the other
gun. Though repeatedly rammed by the
eight vessels. she won a decisive victory
without losing man. On the other side
many were killed, wounded and scalded.
What the Record Shows.
It must be recognized that these cases
were of wooden ships, and the problem as
applied to modern steel vessels of war is
considerably different. In accident the ram
has proved itself only too effective, as wit
ness the destruction of the Vanguard by
the Iron Duke, the Grosser Kurfurst by the
Koenig Wilhelm the Victoria by the Cam
perdown, the Amazon by the Osprey. and
the Devastation by the Ajax. At the bat
tie of Memphis, June 6, 1862, the confeder-
ate vessels Beauregard and Price rammed
one another, and the latter had to be run
ashore. At the battle of Mobile, August 8.
1864, the Lackawanna nearly sank her con-
sort, the Hartford, Farraguts flagship.
And soon afterward the Ossipee could not
help ramming the Tennessee, after the
latter had surrendered. few years ago
H. M. S. Bellerophon. by mere touch of
her ram, sank a steamer off the east coast
of the United States.
Two years ago the United States cruiser
San Francisco found a waterlogged hulk
floating in the gulf stream. 1t was all that
was left of undertaken schooner called
the Drisko. which had been for some time
aflOat, and danger to navigation. The
cargo had become SO swelled and damned
that torpedoes failed to break up the
floating mass. So the captain of the ship
backed of and then ran at full speed upon
the hulk, cutting 1t fairly in two. The
after part which still held together, was
shattered with a few shells. The expert
1nent was probably not without danger to
the warship. Not long after the Camper
down-Eictoria disaster British cruiser of
1000 tons. named the Forth, was passing
through the English channel on foggy
day when she struck an empty collier. 1t
might have been supposed that she would
cut through the collier as If 1t were pat of
butter. In fact, she did nothing of the
kind, being so badly injured herself that
she had to go into Plymouth for repairs.
1t should be said. however. that she had no
ram, and did not hit the collier squarely.
Conservative naval experts are inclined
to place the ram third in rank of weapons
available in battle at sea. Guns take the
first place and torpedoes the second. The

tons and their foolish heart is darkened.
A theatrical piece SO simple, so infantiie
that you could imagine nothing more easy
to understand, requires, nevertheless. on
the part of the spectator an amount of at
tention and memory above the capacity of
the Paris public of 1875. Any true theatre
cal piece, no matter how informal, has,
nevertheless, in 1t something resembling an
exposition or plot, and something also hint
ing of a denouement. But in order to look
forward to this denouement, and even half
understand 1t, the spectator must remem-
Der the incidents from the beginning. 1t is
something even to remember the names of
the personages. Why did the heroine de-
stroy the letter? Why did the jealous hus-
band put new paint on the garden bench?
Why has the villain changed his name and
clothes? 1t Is too hard to remember; and
then the waits between the acts are long.
which helps them to forget. The variety
entertainment Of the music halls. on the
contrary. offers to the public something alb
solrtely in conformity with its tastes. its
intelligence and it's artistic aspira lions.
There Is no effort to make. there are no
names to remember. no incidents to forget,
no exposition, no denouement. For three
hours there come and go, upon a stage
with one set scene, men, women. boys, girls,
goats. rabbits. pigs, female impersonatOrs,
monkeys and what rot. The public melts
in Admiration, 1t understands everything.
To begin at the beginning. In Paris a
music hall or cafe-concert has come to be
sort of theater, where you smoke cigar
cites anu eat DTduuleu cherries Wnlle listen
ing to pretty ladies who sing ugly songs.
To judge by the names which these estab-
lishments bear they must be places of de-
light. There Is the Eden, the Alhambra,
the Paradise of Mahomet, the Olympia the
Elysee. the Alcazar and the Walhalla. In
deed history seems almost to justify such
titles. The ancient Greeks and Romans
had singing girls and singing men to as
sist them in digesting their coffee after
dinner. The establishments are well named .
and the names, taken a whole Indicate
with clearness the varied character of their
delights. The Folies-Bergere refers to the
follies Of shepherdesses the Casino de Paris
indicates Its club-like character the Scala
shows the high class OF it's music and the
Cloerie des Lilas means the Lilac Garden.
The proprietors of these establishments
must be men of courage, to spend money
lavishly on decoration; they must have
proper Ideas of singing, animal training,
gymnastics, prestidigita tion-and liquor SELL
ing. In this latter it Is important to sell
the smallest quantity of the most inferior
drink at the highest price.
Among the singers and reciters on the
stage the males are sandwiched regularly
