st. Petersburg. July 2.--The Journal
dc st. Petersburg, the semi-official Or
gan Of the foreign Office. prints this
morning one of Its infrequent editor
iai articles dealing with official denial
by the Japanese government OF the re-
ports of the mutlIation OF Russian
wounded. The article says:
"A simple denial is not exculpation.
We do not deny that our wounded are
well treated at Sasebo and other jap
anese cities where well organized hos
pitals are operated, under the eyes Of
Europe; but on the field Of battle
when the Russians areDforced to aban-
don the wounded. cruel fate awaits
them, az their agonized cries there
cannot be heard In Europe.

DR.. Stankevitch OF General Mistchen-
kos division, showing horribly mutt
lated Russians with hands cut off and
tongues cut out and pierced by thongs.
An officer was found In pitiable con-

MONEY MADE IN DANCES.
Clever Brains Employed in the In vention of New Steps and
 Figures.

The average citizen whose dancing days are over, to use the conventional phrase, little realizes how many scores of clever brains are, year in, year out. exercised in the invention of new dances. these latter quite apart from theatrical dancing, says a London paper.
 And both fame and money come from any new ballroom dance that happens to hit the public taste, though it must be frankly stated that most of the so- called new dances are, in reality, but novel combinations and variants of the old ones. This, however, is not only inevitable, it is a positive advantage, inasmuch as the ordinary dancer, who has learnt all the usual movements, can the more readily follow the new com binations. In the case of dancing pro- lessor who has been responsible for any new set of movements that have become fashionable, there is always a veritable rush of profitable pupils, all eager to learn the new dance at first hand.
 A considerable source of profit to the 7 inventor of new dance invariably Is the sale of music that has been com. posed with the express view of f1ttins the new movements, as the sales of sucN new music often extend over the whols kingdom. Amongst dancing masters themselves prizes are every year com peted for and given for new terpsi- chorean movements, and the winners ot these always derive considerable adyan- tages in the way of popularity from their inventions, the monetary reward follow ing almost as a matter of course.
 In at least one case known to the writer the invention of new dance brought-with the sale of the accom- panying music, which had been bought outright from the composer-somethi over e500 in less than 15 months.

Debasing the American Indian.

A statement made by full-blood who is posted on Indian affairs follows: "Government safeguards have been the bane of the Indian Instead of being taught to rely upon himself he has been encouraged to be dependent. The gov- ernment should have pushed him off to his own resources long ago, as a COW does her calf when 1t Is old enough to rustic for itself. The government should have given the Indian 160 acres, together with mule and a blow, in the beginning and enjotned him to root, hog, or die Turn him loose; let him go and work out his own salvation. Sentiment and misguided philanthropy will never save him. He must save him self"

"Gypsy" a Nickname.

The word gypsy, of curious and inter- est.ng origin, is illustrative of the tenac- ity of a corruption and suggestive that the propensity of children for acquiring bad language is racial trait. The gyp- sies on their first appearancei in England about the beginning of the sixteenth century were mistaken for Egyptians, and so called by men of education, but the common people, finding some diffi- culty in mastering the name, rendered it "gypsies," and so tho wandering people have ever since been called

ORIGIN OF LoNDON's Focs Investigation Undertaken Some Years Ago Brings to Light Real Facts
 of Their Peculiarities.

At the request of the London county council the meteorological council of the Royal society undertook an inquiry into London fogs during the winter of 1901-2. The results were recently reported to the latter body by Capt. A. Carpenter, who had charge of the investigations. The observations were made chiefly by the officers of the metropolitan fire brig ade. Capt. Carpenter finds three causes of fog:
 First, warm atmosphere cooled, by contact with cold earth or water sur face, which forms a cold surface fog; second, cold atmosphere warmed by contact with warm earth or water sur face, which forms a steaming water fog, and, third, two strata of air of different temperatures in contact with one an- other, which conditions give rise to a cloud fog.
 Each of these fogs may become per- meated with smoke, when the fog par ticles become coated. with oily hydro cartoons and are impervious to the evap- orating power of the sun. These may drift long distances. slowly settling on the ground, on houses and clothes, and are inhaled by living animals and plants. The report represents that when the wind at Kew reached a velocity of 13 miles an hour the London fogs were usually dispersed. The exceptions noted were the very smoky fogs which ac- companied the damp air of advancing cyclones, and it required wind force of 17 miles an hour to disperse them.

No More Alexanders.

It has been tradition, since the hme of Nicholas l., to name the czare- witches alternately Alexander and Nicholas. But the murder of Alex ander II. caused his name to be con- sidered unlucky, so there will be no more Alexanders on the Russian throne, as there will be no more Pauls or Peters. The czarevitch was, there- fore, named Alexis, after the father ot Peter the GtPst. He was a powerful and successful ruler.
