FALL OF PORT ARTHUR
MIGHT MEAN END OF WAR.

London, May 31.-The reports pub
lished in Paris OF discord in the inter-
view between Gen. Kuropatkin and
Viceroy Alexieff at Mukden and of the
southern movement of the Russian
vanguard below Wafengtien, have
given rise to rumors that Gen. Kuro-
patkin has yielded to the wishes of the
Alexieff party. and is attempting to re-
lieve Port Arthur. Among sober pa
pers here, however, the idea that Gen.
Kuropatkin would venture on such a
dangerous and hopeless movement is
not taken seriously.
According to correspondents at Jap
anese headquarters up to May 30, moth
ing important had develoned beyond
outpost encounters. japanese troops
are largely engaged in building roads
and bridges.
The Standards correspou dent says
that Gen. Kuroki gave a luncheon to
foreign military attaches to celebrate
the victory on the Yalu. While almost
simultaneously the Japanese first army
was informed of the Kin chou victory.
The same correspondent indicates the
reason for delay in the operations. He
says that the force that landed at Taku
Shan appears to have struck the fringe
of the rainy season. The downpour has
been very heavy.
Gen. Kuropatkin, the Telegraph's St.
Petersburg correspondent says, is
fighting two enemies, one at home, the
other in Manchuria. While his mill
tary reputation is undergoing a ter
rible ordeal, he is also accused of fail
ure, as Minister of War, to make pro-
per preparations for war. The En-
peror is alleged to be so dissatisfied
that he would dismiss both Alexieff
and Kuropatkin were it not that he
fears the effect on public opinion.
The general impression among the
highest classes is that the fall Of Port
Arthur ought to connote the end OF
the war, and that if the japanese sue
coed in this aim Russia's best interest
would be to make peace, but nobody,
the correspondent AYERS, possesses the
moral courage to make such a sug-
gestion to the Emperor.
The correspondent also asserts that
the agreement is drafted whereby
Germany promises armed support to
Russia If necessary to prevent Eng
land and the United States from at
tempting to submit the Far Eastern
question to an international congress
and declares that the recent relax
alton of anti-Jewish laws by Russia is
the outcome of the desire of the Min
lister of the Interior to conciliate

The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-05-31

From the Lewiston Evening Journal
We were in a Bath fish market when
a customer asked the clerk IL a fish
had any heart. The clerk thought it
had, a small one, but the others were
not positive. AS often as they had
caught and cleaned fish they had never
found, or noticed, at any rate, the
heart
AS matter of physiology the fish
has a heart, but it consists of only one
auricle and one ventricle, receiving
venous blood only and sending it to the
gills, where it is oxygenated and pass
es into the greater or systematic cir
culation by the dorsal vessel.
The pectoral and ventral fins of a
fish correspond to the front and hind
legs of the land vertebrate animals, by
the way.
The oxygen. appropriated by the
gills, is obtained not by decomposi-
ton of the. water, but from the air
there is mixed with the water. On
land the fish die by the drying up of
the fine fringes of the gills.
1t is interesting to know that the
ocean storms and breezes that tumble
the surface of rivers, ponds and lakes
help mix air with the water for the
preservation of the fish therein.

safety Lamp Device.

From the Baltimore American.
An invention which is claimed and
currently believed to give absolute safe

practical uses in Great Britain. The
device consists of a circular metal box.
the size varying according to the cam
dlepower required. In the box is a
deposit of salt, over which is a layer
of cotton waste specially prepared.
Running through the cotton packing
is an asbestos wick, woven by hand,
which projects through an aperture,
and which is practically indestructi-
BILE, and requires only occasional at
tention. BY immersing the box in pc
troleum or paraffin the cotton waste
absorbs the requisite quantity of oil
in few minutes through small lateral
interstices. That accomplished, and
the metal being dried externally, the
application Of light to the asbestos
wick produces a bright, steady white
light, the candlepower being in proper
tion to the size of the box, the con-
sumption of oil being less, and. ac-
cordingly, the cost being correspond
ingly cheaper than if the light were
obtained from an ordinary lamp. More
over, it is claimed, absolute safety is
assured. The asbestine lamp may be

there is no danger, ii is averred, as
there is no free oil or oil gas that
can be ignited, and consequently there
can be no fire or explosion. The pa
tent is said to be applicable to every
species of lamp, from the modest night
light necessary in the nursery, through
the entire gamut of domestic illumi-
nation, to the drawing room lamp.
In the Industrial world it would be
utilized in every direction, especially
where bright, steady light is essen
tial, such as engine headlights and
lights on ships. The Great Northern
and several Scottish and Irish rail-
ways are engaged in testing the capa-
bilities of the new process with a view
to its adoption in railway work. Every

the motor lamp, the carriage lamp,
lamps for domestic purposes, lamps in
mines-can, 1t is declared, be fitted with
the asbestine patent, and oil of any
flash point can be used with perfect
safety, and with the additional adj
vantage of considerable economy. The
problem of the safety lamp would APP
pear to have been solved.

German Congress at Lubbock to-day

Emperor William and the system of

advisers who had the courage to ask
him to spend a least half the year at

Intervention of courtiers, and who
would have the courage to resign when
their advice was disregarded. The
professors words evoked great APP

MR. AND MRS. J. o. ATKINSON INDEPENDENTS, MO-

In a letter dated January 1, 1900,
Mr.. Atkinson says, after five years ex-
perience with peruna:
Il will ever continue to speak a
good word for Peruna. In my rounds
as travelling man am a walking adj
VertiSement for Peruna and have in
duced many people during the past
year TO use Peruna with the most sat
iSfactory results. 1 am still cured of
catarrh."
John o. Atkinson,
Box 272. Independence, Mo.
When old age comes on, catarrhal
diseases come also. Systematic catarrh
is almost universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has be-
come so indispensable to old people.
Peruna is their safeguard. Peruna is
the only remedy yet devised that meets
these cases exactly.
Such cases cannot be treated locally;
nothing but an effective systemic
remedy could cure them. This is ex-
actly what Peruna is.
If you do not receive prompt and
satisfactory results from the use of
Peruna, write at once to DR.. Hartman,
giving a full statement of your case
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis.
