Tsingtau, Aug. 15.-The Russian bat
'cship CZarcvitch and three torpedo
DoHt dcStloyerS are now in the hands
oI the local German government for
repairs. but it is impossible that these
vessels will fight again in this war.
Capt. Truppel. chief OF the military
and civil administration of the protec-
torate Of kiauchau, after having conn.,
pletcd arrangements for the neutrality
OF the crews of the Russian warshjps
during their stay here proceeded to go
on board the Czarevitch. The crew of
the battleship were alarmed at the ad-'
vent of Capt. Truppel's party, and
seized their weapons. They were quick
ly quietei, however and the comman-
der Of the Czarcvitch was informed
that 1t was necessary that the Russian
flag be naul2d down and remain down
pending the completion of the repairs.
The Czarcvitch's flag was then lowered
amid Impressive formalities. arter9
which Capt. Truppel visited each Of the
three Gcsuoycrs. whose flags also were
lowered.
1t is thought that if the Russians
persist in repairing their ships they
eventually Will have TO dismantle them
because of the vastly superior force of
the Japanese which is waiting for them
outside the harbor. According to the
regulations which govern situations
such as the one existing here, the de-
stroyers Will not be permitted to leave
in 4 body, but must go out at intervals
OF six hours.
IL is believed here that the Russian
cruisers Iallada and Diana have
reached Elalivostok.

Surgery by Hand a.a Foot.

Surgery in the sixteenth century was

Locust. That Bring Terror.

In South Africa locusts are not those
solitary green insects that crawl lazily
over the apple tree trunks and enliven
the July nights with the buzz of their
Liliputian sawmills. They are big, red
dish yellow grasshoppers, with long
strong. brown wings and two little
millstones Of teeth that will masticate
anything that can be forced between
them. They are neither solitary nor
lazy. They are warriors, live and breed
in camps millions strong and campaign
in armies miles in extent. They fear
nothing except an explosive noise, and
their coming is the signal for an up
roarious rattling of pans and frenzied
yelling among grown men and women
that would put to shame the Yankee
small boy on the Fourth of July. Poor,
simple people that they are, their crops
are their all, and 1t is Il matter of life
and death with them to keep on those
terrible insects.-Century.

st. Andrew Under.haft.

In Leadenhall street. London. there
is a church bearing the strange name
of st. Andrew Undershaft. name Il 1t
would not be Ineligible to any one
without knowledge of the history of
the locality. 1t seems that some 400
years ago every May day II high shaft
or pole was set up opposite the south
door of St Andrews and adorned with
flowers. So tall was the pole it was
actually higher than the church steeple,
which was therefore literally under the
shaft. Now. there being several
churches dedicated to ST. Andrew, this
one was further described as Under
shaft to prevent it from being mis-
taken for any of the others The old
May pole having been denounced as an
idol by an overzealous curate in the
reign of the boy king. the inhabitants
of the district sawed 1t in pieces for
firewood. Thus is it that in the name
of still existing church is preserved
an interesting bit of bygone history
which otherwise would probably have
passed away forever.
