RUSSIA'S new
CHINESE TROOPS
RAISING MANY REGIMENTS OF
SOLDIERS ALONG THE MAN
CHURIAN-KOREAN BORDER.

A correspondent of the n. c. Daily
News says The Picking Government
have received a dispatch from the Tar
tar General of Monkden Fengtien pro-
vince Gower Manchuria), II. e. Tseng
Chi. to the effect that Russian au-
thorities are following the example of
the British in raising regiments of Chi
nese troops in Manchuria to serve as
auxiliaries to the Russian garrisons of
the three ManchuTian provinces OF
Fengtien, Kirin, and Heilung- chang.
The personnel of the newly raised Chi
nese regiments mainly consist OF
squatters from Shantung province. At
date of writing 0ast March, the Rus
sian had, so far, raised a brigade of five
regiments from amongst the squatter
population of Shatzeho, near Fen
ghuangchteng, in the vicinity of the
Yalu river Manchurian-K Korean bord-
ers, and another brigade of four regi-
ments at a place called Fushun not
more than twenty -five miles from
Moukden city itself. The pay and ra-
tions of the Russianized troops are
nearly three times more than those
earned by the regular Chinese troops
and with the exception of thu higher
officers who are Russians the rest are
Chinese. The most curious thing in
regard to these new regiments is that
the Russians belonging to them are all
preparing to dress themselves up exact
ly like Chinese, so that outsiders will
find it difficult in the future to dis
tinguish Russionized regiments from
the pure Chinese. This" remarks
Tartar General Tseng Chi in his report
sis what makes me suspicious as to the
ultimate motives of the Russians and
herein lies the greatest danger to China
in regard to her Manchurian possess
sions." In conclusion, the Tartar Cen
erals report states that it is rumored
that Russia intends to raise at least
$4,000 Russianized Chinese regiments
within the next three years.

A WOMAN
IN A STONE WALL
RUSSIAN MASON. At REVOLVER's
POINT, FORCED TO GIVE AID IN
A MOST BRUTAL CRIME.

NEW YORK, May IA cable to the
World from 'Baku, Russia, says A
stone mason was at work on an old
wall In the center of town recently,
when carriage swiftly drove up to
him, two masked men jumped out,
threw a bag over his head, bundled
him into carriage and galloped away.
He was taken to a house in room OF
which was an opening in stone wall
in which was wedged a woman trem-
bling and terrified. At the muzzle of
revolver the mason was forced to wall
up the opening with the woman behind
1t. He was told that the woman was
a Mohammedan who had injured her
husband. After the mason had COM
pleted his task, the sack was again
drawn over his head, and three-quar-
ters of an hour later he was put of the
carriage at lonely part of the city.
AS soon as he could free himself of
the sack he did so, burt the carriage had
disappeared. He went Immediately to
the police and told his story, but al
though the police are ransacking the
houses in the Mohammedan quarter.
they can find no trace of the locality of
this horrible crime.

D|SGUSTED
WITH SYSTEM
MARCONFS WIRELESS TEIEGRA-
PLY is NOT THE SUCCESS IT
APPEARED TO BE AT FIRST.

NEW YORK, May S.-A dispatch to
the Sun from Halifax, N. s., says In
the House of Commons at Ottawa to-
day w. S. Fielding, Minister of FL
nance, said in regard to the Marconi
wireless telegraph operations, that
some hitch had occurred, and it was
not the. success hoped for. Repeated
assurances were being given to the
Government that commercial messages
would shortly be handled, but the Gov
eminent did not purpose to make fur
ther contributions.
Vyvyan, chief engineer and general
manager of the Table Head station, at
Glace bay, was asked if he had any
thing to say in regard to this. He re-
piled that there had been no hitch OF
consequence in the operations, except a
temporary breakdown of a mechanical
nature. The company was in constant
communication with Poldhu and Cape
Cod, ard expected toIresume operations
soon.
| NEW YORK, May 10.-A cable to the
| World from London says: The COM
plete cessation of Marconi's promised
daily transatlantic service TO the Times
4 by marconigraph without explanation
is causing much unfavorable comment
mere. When he refused the challenge
to demonstrate the practically of his

Marconi stated that Lord Kelvin was

So far Marconi has given no demon

transmission of wireless messages
across the Atlantic, but has refused to
give any to ''unfriendly critics"

EDWARD WANTS
MORE SALARY
KING TO TAKE ADVAN-
TAGE OF HIS POPULARITY AND
MAKE FORMAL REQUEST.

NEW YORK, May 10.-A cable to the
World from London says: King Ed
ward intends to take advantage of his
extreme popularity throughout the
British empire at this moment to ask
Parliament to increase his allowance
by $4,000 &15O,OOO) a year, making a
total of a round 100000 $500, 0OO).
The King just now undoubtedly is
the most influential man in his domin-
ions His continental tour was marked
by such tact and ability that he not
only has obliterated the injurious con-
sequences of the Governments blum
dering foreign policy, but has placed
England in relations OF alnity with
France that have not been equaled in
a hundred years. He is also given
credit for the improved feeling toward
Ireland.

BEFORE WE CAN

use them, iron and gold must
first be got out of the ore. The
same principle applies TO cod liv-
or oil. Its virtues are not in it,
fatty matters; much less in its
sickening taste and smell. No
consumptive, or sufferer from any
other wasting disease, was ever
greatly benefited by The 50 called
"plain " cod liver oil. The shock
it gives to the nerves, the repul-
sion and disgust it excites in the
stomach, the outrages it commits
upon the senses of smell and
taste, are enough to spoil any
medicinal potency that may be
in it for the majority of people.
This-to say nothing about its
being indigestible. Yet there
has always been reason to believe
that, among the elements which
form cod liver oil, there ex-
listed curative properties Of the
highest value. But it was neces-
sary to separate them from the
nauseating waste material with
which they were combined. This
was successfully accomplished in
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
and IN this effective remedy,
made palatable as honey, we have
the very heart and soul Of Pure
Cod Liver Oil, combined with the
Compound Syrup of Hypophos-
phites, Extracts of Malt and Wild
Cherry. These constitute a tissue
builder, a blood purifier, a health
remover beyond comparison. Dis
ease yields to it with q complete
ness and rapidity which aston,
ishes medical men quite as much
as it delights their patients. In
all wasting conditions, Serofula
and Blood Disorders, La Grippe,
Chronic Bronchitis, Pulmonary
Affections, ETC., it never fails to
relieve and cure. DR.. Louis W.
Bishop says: "I take pleasure in.
saying l have found it most
efficient preparation, embodying
all of the medicinal properties
of pure cod liver oil, in a most
palatable form" 1t stands in the,
front rank in the march of med
icine. Effective from the first
dose. Sold by all chemists here.

Almost nothing was known Of the
South Polar regions until 1870 years
ago. when Captain Cook circumnavi-
gated the earth In latitude SO deg, and
proved the absence Of the great
southern continent" which, until then.
had been supposed to exist The Ant
arctic Circle was crossed for the FIRST
time by Cook in 1913 when he succeed
ed in penetrating to lat. Il deg. 10 min,
a record which was not broken until
1922, when Weddell attained to lat. "a
Is. In 1912. Sir James Ross penetrated
to lat 1910, and this remained the
highest southern point ever reached
until 1900, when Borchgrevink pushed
his way to lat. 7S.4O and constituted
another record, which has now been
been broken by Commander Scott who
succeeded in getting three and a half
degrees further SOUTH or to a point on
ly $50 miles more distant from the
South Pole than Nansen's furthest
point was from the North Pole.

Victoria Land. From the record of the
expedition brought back it appears that
the Discovery, which left Lyttleton
about Christmas, 1901, made Cape
Adare on January 8, and coasted along
the great ice barrier which runs east
ward from Cape Crozier as far as
longitude 1890 where an extensive
glaciated land with lofty peaks was
discovered. Returning Westwards
good winter quarters were found near
Mounts Brebus and Terror, and the
ship was frozen in on March "a. When
winter had passed sledgfng began on
September 2, 1902, and a number of
sledge journeys were undertaken in
various directions, the most important
being made by Commander Scott, DR.
Wilson, and Lieutenant Shackleton,
who travelled south until they reached
lat 82.17 and long. 1913 west, and estab-
lished worlds record for the furthest
point south. The trip was made under
very trying conditions, and the party
had to drag the sledges back to the
ship, all the dogs having died on the
outward Journey Lieutenant Shackle-
ton, burst a blood-vessel in enc of his
lungs, and almost died from exposure.
He returned on board the Morning
Another party. which included Lieu
tenant Royds and Mr. Skelt0n, visited
Mount Terror, and travelled along the
ice barrier, which is believed to be
af1oat, though fed from the land ice.
Lieutenant ATmitage made a sledge
journey to the westward, and attained
an altitude of 5000 feet. On the return
journey he fell into a crevasse, and if
he had not been roped to the Others
would have fallen 1000 feet Symp-
toms of sc1rVy appeared among the
men on the sledge journeys, but disap-
peared on their return to the ship.
Though looking aged by the hard life
and having experienced some privation,
owing 10 part of the supplies being bad.
the officers AND crew of the Discovery
looked well and cheerful, and they
have determined to spend another win
ter among the ice. The most important
geographical discovery made by the ex-
petition is that Victoria Land has
been found to extend at least as far as
lat. S3.20 south, and it is thought that
the greater part of that region is a
vast continent which stretches away to
the Pole in d series OF lofty mountains
The lowest temperature recorded by the
expedition was so degrees below zero.

MAKES
THE DEAD LIVE
HE SUCCEEDS IN RESUSCITATING
DEAD CATS AND DOGS AND RE
STORING LIFE TO THEM.

NEW YORK, May 12.-Dr. Robert
Coleman Kemp of this city, has inform
ed the Academy of Medicine that from
experiments made by himself upon
dogs, he is convinced that human be-
ings under certain conditions, can be
resuscitated after death.
Kemps method is to make an Incl
sion between the ribs and to thrust in
two fingers until they actually touch
The heart. The heart is then pressed
,against the ribs, giving it the motion of
the natural beat. At the same time
saline solution is infused into the pa
tient and respiration is induced by
means of a pump An intubation tube
is attached to the pump and thrust
down the patients throat as far as the
windpipe. Massage of the hearts starts
the human mechanism so to speak, and
other methods restore the other frnc-
tions, SO that the patient who was
dead. actually lives again.
DR.. Kemp says: In operating upon
dogs which had been killed with chic
reform we succeeded in resuseitating
eleven out of twentythree subjects.
The dogs lived upward of twenty-four
hours, though we waited from two to
sixteen minutes after the heart expos
ed to view, had ceased to beat"
Kemp declared that exposure of the
heart showed that the dogs had died
absolutely, but after reslscitation they
not only lived and were conscious. but
some of them walked around, ate,
drank and appeared perfectly normal.
That their recovery was not permanent
was due to the fact that they could not
be kept quiet after the operations.

There are two classes of children
i'm our American community which
need the kindergarten more than other
children" said DR.. Harris. The first
class includes the children Of the
slums, the children of the three weak
ling classes of society-weaklings in
thrift, moral weaklings and weaklings
in intelligence"
He then pointed out how the kinder
garten system benefited these classes
as well as others brought under its in
fiuence. and said that as a matter of
self preservation, each city should or
ganize a strong force of kindergarten
ers.
''FrOebel's kindergarten is a great
