Of the strength Of Russia and Japan Is
especially interesting. Russia's military

were more officers in the Russian army
than enlisted men In the United States.
Japsn's budget for The fiscal year called
TOR an expenditure OF s23 900, 900 Her
army consists Of 1886 b93 enlisted men

idea Of the great odds against Japan in

say that the President is holding it
back so that it cannot be used in
the champaign, but at all events
be is going over it very carefully
and before making it public he
may supplement it with comments
OF his own. Mr., Bristow is now
making an abstract of it which
will consist OF about 10000 words,
and will be easier reading than the
report, which, printed as an ordin.
airy public document will run into
1000 pages. II is said that Mr.
Brlstow has made serious charges
against former First Assistan,
Heath, who will be saved from in-
dietmcrt only by the statutes Of
limitations. The Irregularities dis.
covered in the New York Post or

The milliner's shop is the scene of
many humorous incidents. The one
that occurred the other day, how.
ever, in one Of these feminine estab.
lishments might have ended anything
but humorously. A lady was choosing
a hat, with the usual uncertainty of
mind as to the kind Of hat she wanted.
or whether, indeed, she wanted a hat
at all, when, after trying on nearly
every model in the shop, she bounced
with glee on one she had overlooked.

friend. There's some style about
this, isn't there? How do l look ?p
The friend distinctly shifted. "It
makes you look a hundred. and its
very dOwdy," she said. The other
tried the hat at another angle. oIt is
rather dowdy," she admitted; "per.

shown in the drawing, its chief adj
vantage lying in the control of the
speed Of descent by the movement Of
two pistons sliding In cylinders piv-
oted in wall brackets attached to the
building. The pistons slide back and
forth through a heavy liquid, which
must pass from one side to the other
and back again before the revolution
Of the crank can be completed. As
the Internal diameter Of the cylinders
nearly corresponds with the size Of
the piston, 1t is obvious that the flow
Of the liquid must be comparatively
slow. Thus, no matter what weight
is in the cars attached TO the endless
chains, there is no danger Of damage
from extreme speed. The inventor
proposes to limit the speed of the cars
still more In passing each window. 10
enable persons to enter the cars with
safety. This is accomplished by max
ing one revolution of the cranks cor
respond to the fall Of car from one
window to the next, decreasing the in
ternal diameter of the piston at one
end to make the liquid pass more slow
ly around the piston at that end. As
