FORT IS TAKEN
by the Japanese-Important Posi-
ton Captured After Heavy
Bombardment-- Garrison
Escapes.
RUSSIANS AGAIN REPULSEO
BY japanese Cavalry-No Losses
to the Japanese.

q--
Port Arthur Headquarters Jap
nese Army, Dec. 29.-Rih Lung
fort was captured at J o'clock this
morning with thousand Japanese
casualties. Seven dynamite mines
exploded yesterday, making
breaches in the front wall, through
which large bodies Of Japanese
troops charged under cover of a
tremendous bombardment, and cap
tured the first line of light guns.
The garrison, numbering so men,
escaped.
Rih Lung fort, situated on Rih
Lung mountain, formed part Of the
inner circle Of the chain Of forts
defending Port Arthur. RihLung
is situated about two miles from
the outskirts of the town of Port
Arthur, from which it bears north
east. The fort just captured is a
mile and a half southeast OF Keek-
wan fort, recently captured by the
Japanese. The possession of these
two forts should make a most i'm
portant breach in the Notifications
Of Port Arthur and cut off com
munication between the Golden
Hill forts and the forts Of the west
ern section OF the inner circle Of
fortihcations. Outside Of the cap
ture Of 2o5- Meter hill, on the
western section of forts, little is
known OF the exact position occu-
pied by the Japanese, but it would
seem from the material available
that the inner circle Of forts is
now cat in three pieces and
that 1o3- Meetec hill prohib-
Tits communications with the
I.iatlotie section forts, of which
! possession Of Rihlung and Keek-
wan forts cuts off communication
with the Golden Hill forts except
10y the many underground ways
which are said to exist in parts Of
the fortress. From Rihlung noun
tain. which is nearly opposite 2o5-
Meter hill, it would appear that
the japanese FIRE will be able to
reach anything in the harbor and
town which the japanese heavy
! guns on ao3- Meter hill arc unable
to hit, thus making it apparently
impossible for the Russian second
Pacific squadran to make any use
Of Port Arthur even should the
Japanese content themselves with
holding the strong positions they
now occupy.
Toxic, Dec. 1o-The Manchur-
ian army headquarters, reporting
today, say:
December a7, in the Afternoon
the Russians, with heavy field guns
bombarded the Shakhe river rail
road bridge in the neighborhood o
the station, and the Russian gum
lat Talieu Tan shielded Chi Hsianl
Tun and Shu Tin Tzu. Russian
cavalry attacked Hei Lin Tun a
sunset on the same day, but wer'
repulsed by japanese cavalry. Th'
same evening, Russian cavalry Ell
veloped the Japanese pickets, wh'
were reinforced and finally repulse'
the enemy. The Japanese casual
ties were three men killed.

BUILDS MODEL OF NOAH sARk.
Novel Vessel Is Successfully Launched
At Copenhagen.

NoVei VeSSel Is successfully Launched
At Copenhagen.
COPENHAGEN, Nov "a trial
trip was made recently on the Sound
of model Noahs ark. The vessel, con-
structed by M. Vogt, as nearly as pos
sible in accordance with the descrip-
lions given in the bible narrative, is of
twenty tons burden. The cost of the
Carlberg naval fund.
After consulting a number of dis
tinguished Hebraists, M. Vogt follow
ed the outlines of the most ancient
representation known of the ark, which
are given on an Apamean coin, dating
800 B. c. now the property of the
Stockholm museum
He made his model thirty feet. in
length, five feet wide and three feet in
length, the entire dimensions averag-
ing about one-tenth the actual size
Of Noahs ark.
interpreting the Hebrew word
"zehar' not as light, which is the
usual meaning assigned to it, but as a
smoke escape, the model was further
equipped with a chimney.
The ark, with a number of univer-
sity professors, engineers, govern
ment officials and journalists on board,
as we'll as her designer, M. Vogt, be-
haved splendidly in the waters of the
Sound, skimming gracefully over the
waves and veering with the changing
winds with an ease as though worked
by propeller.
The ark is declared by marine ex-
peras here to be not only the simplest
kind of vessel possible, but also a
| masterpiece of shipbuilding, upon
which the largest developments of the
craft could devise no improvement.
1t has been decided by the munich
pality to invite the king to make a
trip On the new Noah's ark.

GOVERNMENT BEES.
nssy Insects Belonging to the Agrf cultural Department Swarm
 to Market.

Doubtless the only members Of the governments gigantic force of 'em- ployes who goto work before nine o'clock a. m. and continue toiling until sun down are the Italian bees lept by the de- partment of agriculture These, the smallest of our domestic animals. are kept by the department for experimental purposes and for stocking Its various substations. says the Washington Post Some time ago these government bees discovered that Center maket was far better pasture than the flower peos and vegetable gardens of the depart ment, and there they resort every day, to no small discomfort and annoyance or commission dealers. hucksters, gard nsrs and restaurant proprietors. whose stock in trade the industrious little in- sects prey upon.
 In some cities the rats and mice are troublesome, and in others cr1ckets' grain insects, and various other bugs prey upon the perishables, but Center market is the only market in the United States where tho most serious pest Is the insects which belong to the government They eat holes in the peaches, poach on the grapes. gather honey from cante- loupes. and are the first to find the soft spots in pineapples and bananas. What Is more, there are about Center market number of open-alr eating booths, te which the bees resort in large numbers to collect honey from various sweet dishes, particularly apricot, apples peach, prune and huckleberry pie. Tho funny part of 1t all Is that the commis- sion dealers. fruit handlers and res taurant keepers are afraid to offer any opposition to their intrusion for fear the plucky little insects will resent It.
 Hardly . week passes that some ons does not get stung by the government: bees, who object to rough handling anc treatment. With the juice and wax which they collect from apples, melons peaches. oranges. pineapples, grapes bananas and pies in the market. they lay up their store of winter honey. The only time the restaurant keepers are able to even up with these little pests is when they have a batch of hot pies or bread pudding on hand. They 1t hap pens occasionally that some over-hasty government bee gets his feet scorched. In such cases they hover about the pies until they have cooled off, now and then alighting on the crust to test the tom perature of the tempting bait.

Paraguay Tea.

There comes from Paraguay to the yournal of Tropical Medicine news of m apparently harmless beverage which Is the sole stay and stimulant of the working classes in Paraguay and the Argentine Republic. It is often known as Paraguay tea or mate, and an at- tempt made to introduce it into this country some years ago failed because as we may guess-there were more potent competitors in the field. It is usually drunk as hot infusion. through s metal tube, but may be taken like tea, with milk and sugar. Workmen take it with them wherever they go and sip it occasionally. Wood cutters will work on 1t for five or six hours before break fast. and the writer declares that, taken at night, 1t makes nursing, study or what doctors call night work" real pleasure. Analysis does not explain these results. and lifelong and persistent use appears to have no evil consequences. This would be good substitute for the num- berless patent medicines which supply alcohol to women, or even, in at least one familiar case, cocaine.-London Chronicle.

Catbirds Defeat Blacksnaks.

A writer in the Scientific American says: "I witnessed a pair of catbirdG making a hold defense against black snake bent on devouring the contents of their nest. At first the snake was in- clined to disregard the distressed birds as they fought to drive it away. but the blows of their wings and bills became 70 annoying that the thief had to seek refuge in flight On reaching the roots of a tree from which the river had washed the dirt the snake started to climb, only to be driven beneath them and then out to an old stump, under which the baf1led and beaten reptile took retu2s."
 It is to be noted that in each of the three older burns there was a thin cavity occupied by the charcoal of the burned surface, but the wounds were finally fully covered and the new tissue above was full, even, continuous, and

 SHOWS IN TOWN.
Long Line of Snow-White Horses Pleasing Feature of Street
 Parade.

The Pan-American Shows are camped upon the old grounds in Chastain's addition, a fair crowd having entered the tents to wit ness the afternoon performance, in progress as we go to press.
 The circus train arrived We'd nesday night over the Iron Moun- tain, and city of canvass mark ed the exhibition grounds early in the morning.
 The parade at eleven o'cclock was witnessed by fairly large crowds upon the streets, consid- ering the early season and the fact that none of the cotton crop has yet been marketed. A dis tinguishing feature of the street pageant was the sleek look of the sixty we'll shaped and beautiful white horses and the cleanly look of the wagons and equipages which took part in the parade. The performance given by this show is said to be a most credit able one by circus talent in every line of acrobatic, aerial and equestrian performing.
 The doors of the big tent will be open at ' o'clock and the per formance begins at 8 o'clock for the evening exhibition.

NEGROES SANG AT WORK.
Ana Entertained French Opera Sina CTS fin the Streets of New
 Orleans.

The French opera singers were specta- tors of picturesque street scene night or two ago in the vicinity of the old French opera house. says the New Or leans Times Democrat. Bourbon street was being paved with asphalt. and the work was being hastened so as to have that portion of the street near the opera house accessible for carriages by tht time of the opening of the French op era season.
 On this account an unusually large force of workmen were engaged, and in order to push the work to an early conn., pletion the men worked at night, huge torches being used. In one block. be- tween St. Louis and Toulouse streets. hore than 100 men were working.
 Every one familiar with the negro knows that, in so far as he is able, he sets his work to music. It is fact often marveled at that the negro. when he is singing or chanting in sort of rhythmic mood, works with more ardor than under different conditions. And if an extra de- mand is made on the negro workman hs sings or chants the louder.
 The members of the French opera, or at least many of them, heard for the first time the real melody of the negro voice that night. It was that swishful, poetic thing caricatured in the ragtime of the stage, a certain subtle, indefinable some- thing which no composer has ever been able to fit to the well-measured octaves of musical arrangements. It was the ,uneful, heaving call of the levee. the mellow sunset cry of the cotton fields. The flaring torch. the bustling hither end thither, the heavy fall of the implements of toil-all those things gave exquisite tone to the setting.

HE GETS 4 MONEY ORDER.
With the Money He Doesnx Want ta
 Spend When Out with M>f. the Boys.

5 "One of the queerest things l ever heard of," said a young man, who sometimes keeps late hours, relates the Providence Journal, sis the action of a friend of mine, who has a knack ofsaving, despite the fact that sometimes when he meets a friend he celebrates too much. He always, after he has had a few drinks and realizes that he will take more before the end of the evening, takes an account of stock, as you may say. He finds a corner somewhere and there figures up the amount of cash on hand. Then he starts for the post of1ce.
 "When he gets there he buys a money order, payable to himself, for an amount equal to the great. CT part of the sum he has on hand. This done, he mails the order to himseaf, and then, certain oi say. ing that much of ais money, at least, through the evening, ts starts out to resume the joyous oc- cnpation of enjoying himself. It is a great scheme, and one I never heard of anyone else using. It  works very we'll, indeed, with him. I have seen men give a part of their money to bartender to take care of for them, but this scheme of buying a money order for your self beats that. And you can get a money order at the Providence post office any hour ef the night aow."
