 Expert opinion is divided as to whether a serious engagenA>nt is like ly to occur at Mukden, but a dispatch from Mukden reporting unusual activ- ity gives rise to much speculation. It is impossible to say whether this con- ditions presages the evacuation of Mukdeu, but in any case it is evident that something of unusual interest is pending.
 Sene even are bold enough to take 1t that General Kuropatkin is pre- pairing to assume the offensive. but in view of the fact that most reliable advices credit him with only about six divisions at Mukden this is exceedingly improbable. It is thought more like ly that the eommotion had to do with one or the other of the ASpanese nanlCinR columns. which the Russian

early as 1910 it was described In the
Cincinnati Almanac as one of the patu-
raj wonders OF Ohio. In June. .18Qe, a.
cord1ng to what seems. reliable testi-
mony.: q party OF thirteen persons, an
on horseback. rode into the hollow
trunk Of this sycamore and found that
room enough remained for two more
horses and their riders. The tree
forked about eight feet from the
ground. and It was hollow when, ,flrst
seen BY the white settlers, The circpm-
ference Of the trunk was about ATTY
three feet at the base and Ave feet
from the earth it was forty two teet in
girth. These figures remind the reader
of the famous big trees Of California.
The opening into the cavity within the
trunk was ten feet wide at the bottom,
nine and half feet high, and the hol-
low was about fourteen feet TN diane.
