TRAVEL BY TROLLEY.

Not little by little, but with mighty
strides the trolley is spreading its
meshes over the country. The lines
extending in all directions from the
cities meet local lines and SO reach
further until, in the closing of the ever
shortening breaks, trunk lines are sud-
denly established. Philadelphia is now
to be Joined to New York by trolley;
New York joins Boston, and the troll
leys of Boston run to the uttermost
parts of Cape Ann. Presto! The Phil
delphian can journey by trolley to
Gloucester and to where the cool
breezes sweep over Norman's Woe.
The trolley with all its progressive
ness means a reaction, and with all
its up-to-dateness is return to nature.
IL takes us into fields and among flow
ers, through narrow woody ways where
the trees meet overhead. The speed is
rot so great that the scenery cannot be
leisurely enjoyed; the sweet fresh air
blows cinderless upon the face, and the
right of way is not charred and black
ened-as when nature spreads bit OF
mourning along the tracks for the birds
that the screaming locomotive has
frightened away, for the noble trees
have been cut down. and the railroads
broad band of ugliness. The clean,
light trolley is taken to natures heart.
The wild flowers creep up to the track,
the grain mods friendly to the car it can
almost touch, and when the car has
passed the birds light again on the wire
tC talk the matter over and to discuss
the merits of that strange new singer,
the little trolley wheel which fearlessly
skins along the wire above the car,
singing as it goes.

How He Met Himself.

Mr.. Hookem of Philadelphia was
fishing on New England lake two
years ago and caught SO many large
fish that even his veteran guide was
surprised.
Mr.. Hookem then wore full beard,
which he has since shaved Off
This summer he was again fishing
on the same lake and with the same
guide. Not catching any fish. he nat
urally inquired what the reason might
be; whereupon his guide said: "The
weather has been bad and the wind is
wrong. But, truth to tell. there has
been very poor fishing here ever since
that fish hog by the name of Hookem
was here two years since. j. H.

Views of Military Experts.

London. May General kuroki's
official dispatches, specially tele-
graphed in full from Toxic, give a
clear picture of the sequence of events
though the decisive result was not
reached till Sunday morning, about 8
a. m.
The fighting appears to have been
carried on with only a short intermis-
sion ever since Tuesday. On the lat
ter day the guards division made a
successful attack on one of the islands
in the Yalu in order to enable the
bridge to be constructed from the
mainland on the left or Japanese bank
so as to shorten the passage to the fur
ther bank. Part of the second division
was also placed on this island to be
ready to reinforce guards as soon as
the further bank had been taken.
A long preliminary artillery duel, &C
cordng to a British generals reading
of the dispatches. now seems to have
taken place, during which the Rus
slams, firing at great range. did CON
siderable mischief both to the works
which were being carried on on the
island and on the mainland.
The Russians appear to have been
densely massed, for we are told that
10000 of the men were concentrated
on four miles of ground. This, then,
was doubtless the situation.
On Sunday morning at dawn the
Russian artillery fire completely sub.
dued every point of vantage and
found the Russian works occupied by
well trained skirmishing forces OF the
japanese, so that no Russian could
show his head above the works with
out being shot, and every Russian offi-
Ger who showed himself in order to
encourage his men being picked OIL
Meanwhile the fire was being thus
kept under. The japanese army In
increasing numbers crossing on tine
doomeu 'impregnable defenses." In
particular they were creeping round TO
the north so as to be able to seize the
commanding ground Of the present ar
tillery, from whence to enfilade the
defenses and throw their terrible
shells into the masses of crowded Rus
slams.
The final report from General kur-
oki gives the rapid end on Sunday. AT
daybreak on Sunday morning the ar
tillery opened on Chiu Tien Cheng. and
apout 8 a. m. the guns were able to get
within decisive range of the place
from the high ground on the north

DEER AND DOGS
PLAYING TOGETHER AS FRIENDS
California Writer Tells Interesting
Stories About tho Companion
ship Of These Animals.


ship Of These Animals.
In the town Of Oroville. California
now notable gold dredging center
where live. very recently saw a
fawn, still in. its spots, unconcernedly
rambling about the main street. Dogs
that were in no wise accustomed to it
went up, smelled it. as is their canine
custom, and passed on, writes a cor
respondent OF the Hartford Times. The
fawn was perfectly unconcerned.
Two years ago there was another
deer, over half grown. in the same
town. which had as its companion and
safeguard large Newfoundland dog.
These animals were often seen play
ing together. and went down town to-
gether at their own desire. On these
tr.ps the Newfoundland seemed, by in
stinct, to know that the deer was at
the mercy of other dogs. and saw to it
that no dog molested the deer. The
family owning these two attractive an
imals has moved from Oroville, taking
their interesting friends.
Another nearly grown doe l saw last
year (adjoining the same town. stand
ing In little creek with some cattle.
I was told that it came and went to
pasturage and to milking (of course
the deer was not milked) daily with
the COWS. In 1897 l was at Eden Val
ley ranch for a month. A wild, rough
country in Mendocino county, CSlifor-
mia, environs this gem. Big and small
game abound there. The wild cattle
in the 'roughs' are the most interest
ing feature there.
Thecattle dogs and wild hog dogs. bear
dogs and deer dogs. are taught to at
tack and pursue tirelessly. The most
excIIlng chase and fight I ever wit
messed was between these dogs and
great wild bear that succeeded in rip
ping two out of six of the largest and
best trained dogs. The bear was final
ly secured alive and dragged into the
corral at the tail of riata, snubbed to
the horn of the saddle of the chief
vaQuero.
For a month l saw male and fe-
male fawn move with perfect uncon-
cern among these dogs and all lap
milk from the same trough (the fawn
does not lap, but drinks like pig. and
drinks milk like starved pig). 1t was
laughable to see them pushing each
other while gulping milk. These dogs
that ran off the mother doe were first
to discover her young. but did not
seize them as they would have done
the doe. When strange dogs passing
the ranch house on the road espied the
fawns in the orchard or the meadow.
they naturally went for" the fawns.
expressed apprehension, but l was
told by the wife of the proprietor that
the home dogs kept sharp lookout
for strange dogs and always protected
the fawns. l saw evidences there OF
this.

deer all about the grounds at top
speed, to the infinite delight of both
animals. After the race, deer and dog
would come up to their master.

With no guns of the enemy any longer

With no guns of the enemy any longer
able to reply to them, this smashing
bombardment was designed to prepare
the way for an infantry assault by
shattering the nerves and breaking
down the defenses Of the helpless re-
cipients of this mass of lead.
BY quarter past s, when the gen
eral artillery bombardment had lasted
tor about five hours, and as the twen-
ty-five minutes the guns had been
pouring in shells from close range to
which there was and could be no re-
ply, the Japanese infantry closed and
severe fighting took place for just
three quarters of an hour. That was
the time required for the Japanese to
storm the works and position and to
occupy the whole line from end to end.
We know little as yet of the losses
or captures on either side during
these historic events. but eventually
the victory was as complete and decis-
i've as, for the number engaged, it
could be.

Progress Of Japan.

Reviewing the steam engineering
progress of Japan, Professor Bunji
Mano finds that the first land engine
was placed in spinning mill at Ka-
goshima in 1868 and that the first one
made in the country came about ten
years later. In 1901 the land engines
in use numbered 3,25S, with horse
power of 1857. The first railway, with
four British locomotives. was opened
between Toxic and Yokahama in le72.
To-day the railway mileage is 4,469,
with 1,469 locomotives. The first
steamer was brought from Holland in
1856, the first built in the country
dates from 1866. The present number
of steamers is 1919, with gross ton
mage of 645, 1926.
