content to build its railway and begin
the harbor tentatively, and let trade do
the rest. Not SO Russia. Dalny is to
spring into the world full-grown and
armed at every point, Minerva-like,
from the brains OF the Russian Jove.
The harbor, which has to be constructed
at enormous expense, by filling and
1redging the bay by the square mile,
with moles and breakwaters and dry
docks, is to be capable of accommodate
ing the largest ships af1oat alongside its
wharves, and will eventually take in all
the shipping which could be got to-
gether at any time in the east. The sea
front and warehouses are to stand on
ground which was in 1901 under the
water at low tide. The administrative
portion of the town is already In exist
ence. When we examined the plan Of
the harbor two years ago it seemed al
most chimerical, 80 immense was the
work mapped out for the contractors
To-day the plan is realized. and only the
shipping is wanted. Dalny is, after all,
the best, If not the only, place which
could have been selected. Apart from
the Trans-Siberian railway, Dalny has
great importance as the future port Of
Manchuria. Dalny has great future
before It," The predictions Of Mr..
Whigham made in 1901 have been amply
fulfilled, and Dalny is in many respects
model town. The Russians began their
building operations in 1900, when sew
eral Chinese villages standing on the
site were demolished. Then the town
gradually began to take shape. The

JUDO" FOR WINTER SALAD
Ef Is . Japanese Plant That MAy
 Compete With Lettuce.

1t Is a Japanese Plant That May
 Compete With Lettuce.
 "Udo' is the name of a Japanese plant the department of agriculture is trying to introduce into the United States to compete with lettuce as winter salad, says Washington dis patch. It has been in cultivation many years in Japan and was probably intro duced there from China. It is served in all the tea houses in Japan, its crisp blanched stems being served with salt or boiled with soy sauce.
 The slices of the udo plant are much more crisp than celery and have none of the objectionable stringy fbers of that plant. They have fresh taste, like the midrib of lettuce leaf, with slight but most agreeable suggestion of pine flavor. The tenderest shoots of young celery are not more brittle than the blanched stems of the udo
 Properly served udo is mass of thick white shavings, two to three inches long by half inch wide, with a brilliant silky luster. It should have a dressing of oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. 1t is marketable from early November until the 1st of May, and any one familiar with the forcing of as- paragus can cultivate it.

War In Forrest s Country
 FoRT1ETH ANNIVERSARY WAR STORY

ETH ANNIVERSARY WAR STORY
February Ii-22. l9S4

the 21st of February the Federals hur- ried away northward. Forrest follow ed with his escort and, learning from personal observation that the Federals were retreating, pushed his whole force after them on the road to Okolona.
 About four miles north of West Point Forrest overlook Smiths rear guard and, driving it from 3 strong position in the timber, followed closely for five miles. Here the Federals formed across lane where the ground did not admit of turning by the pursuers. Eagerly force of 150 troopers in gray dashed down the lane, but were met by coun- tercharge and would have been de- stroyed but for the readiness of For rest himself, who led the rescue and in a pistol duel with Federal trooper shot his antagonist dead.
 Forrest used the same tactics in the pursuit of his fleeing foe that he had in meeting their advance. He avoided battle, but sent his brigadiers around the Hanks of the pursuing column to harass the Federal march and, If pos sible, cut off their retreat. At Okolona battle seemed imminent for time, for Barteau's brigade had landed squarely in the new Federal front, and Forrest, with two brigades, came laundering on in the rear. There were two roads northward from Okolona, one of them held by Barteau, and Colonel Forrest attempted to reach the other, leading to Pototoc. The night of the 21st was very dark, and the pursuers were baf- fed in their attempts to force the hand of the enemy. Colonel Forrest failed to get the Pototoc road, and the Fed eral rear guard selected position a few miles north of Okolona to make stand. On a knoll covered with small oaks they had thrown up Instructions, which could not be reached by pursuers except by crossing marsh and climb ing slope under fire. Nettled by his failure to seize the Pototoc road, Colo nel Jeffrey Forrest deployed his Mis- sissippians, Alabamians and Tennes- seeans and led them in terrific onset, which carried the first Federal line of cover in the face of whitening fire.
 The Federal brigade of Colonel George B. Waring received the attack of Colonel Forrest, fighting under the eye of General Smith. This brigade comprised the Second New Jersey, Sec ond Illinois and Fourth Missouri cav airy. The Missourians had along bat tery which was in action for the first time. The troopers carried breechload- CTS, and Colonel Forests dash for the second line was met with a whitening fire concentrated upon a narrow front.

NEW RADIuM TREATMENT.

Curative Possibilities of q Salt solu-
 tiOn Exposed to the Me@al.
 A new use of radlum, which is said cer, consumption and other malignant diseases, is discussed in recent issue of the New York Medical Journal by Dr. Samuel G. Tracy of New York un- der the title, ssRadium; Induced Radi- ocity and It's Therapeutical Possibin- ties''
 Professor Pierre Curie found that after being near radium his clothing would affect delicate instruments for hours afterward. Professor Hammer found that bits of q pasteboard box in which radium had been kept glowed in the dark for six days after the ra- dium was removed. A little expert menting brought out the fact that a solution of normal salts is one of the best mediums for manifesting this property, and it is in this form that the author believes the induced radio activ- ity of radium may be made of prac- tica1 use in treating disease.
 After & tube of radium had stood Tn a salt solution for twenty-four hours the solution produced decided effect on photographic plates for more than q week. It's effect on germs was shown by placing grape juice in the presence of a tube of this radio active salt solu- tion. 1t is said to have been demon strated that the grape juice would not ferment for a month, even though kept in hot room with the bottle uncorked. Mold, says Professor Ira cy, can be prevented in the same way
 Some of the diseases which are being at present experimented upon with this preparation are superficial cancers, lupus. certain other skin diseases, some forms of blindness, tuberculosis, diph- theria, typhoid, malaria and scarlet fe- yer. The hope is expressed that this treatment will strike at the roots of all these maladies. The solution may be applied externally or internally, 1t is asserted.
 1t is also suggested as spray for catarrhal affections, for use in surgical dressings and as general antiseptic.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-01-12


 The gallant Forrest went down, struck, as his enemies claimed, by shot from the young battery.
 The charging line was repulsed and carried to the rear it's dying leader. Word was taken to General Forrest in a distant part of the field, and he hur- ried to his brothers side, dismounted and took the boy in his arms for part ing embrace As the stricken soldier was in the very throes of death, For rest clung to him, and meantime the fighting line. moved to sympathy with the pathetic scene, ceased firing. When the boy had breathed his last Forrest laid him gently down and, conscious that the battle had been delayed by this unwonted show of grief in war leader, nervously leaped into his sad de and drew his sword. Motioning his staff and escort to form, facing Warnings stubborn line, he shouted to his corps bugler, always by the side of his chief in action, "Gaus, sound the chargev'
 Forrest led his brothers brigade in mad rush over the breastworks of logs and rails, where Smiths rear guard battled with ferceness equaling that of the assailants. His horse fell under him, pierced with five bullets, but he pressed forward on foot until trooper offered him his horse. This was also killed before the impetuous fighter had ridden thirty rods. Two Confederate te colonels fell, and Forrest was soon left with only 300 men, and these had used up their carbine ammunition and were fighting with pistols, hand to hand.

 While the spirit of General John B. Gordon was passing away down in Miami, Fla, just at 1O:o5. o'clock the other night, Creatore's band at the Grand Opera House in Atlanta was playing beautiful medley, blending of Dixie" and Maryland, My Mary land," two airs so dear to southern hearts.
 The coincidence was remarkable when it is known that the band swung into the strains of Dixie and Mary land. My Maryland" at exactly the mo- ment when General Gordon passed into the great beyond.
 The band was interrupted by dis patch announcing General Gordon's death. Creatore read the dispatch from the stage and then fell in a faint. Creatore says that the news of Cor don's death while Dixie" was being played oyercame him.
