RUSSIAN JOAN OF ARC.
A Woman Admitted To Ranks of the
Russian Army.

St Petersburg-Th services of a
volunteer Amazon have beeen accept
ed by the Gar, and the fair soldier
is now on her way to the scene of hos
tilities in the Far East. She is a
young unmarried woman named Cor
ka Heiff. She became SO imbued
with military ardor that she was re-
Gently occupied leading band of Ma
cedonian revolutionists against the
Turks.
Recognizing a wider sphere for her
energies in the war between Russia
and Japan, she offered her services to
the Car. The average Russian SOL
der, being prone to superstition, dis
covered superhuman qualities in the
young woman, and when it was ru-
mored that her offer had been refus-
ed, grave fears were expressed as to
the outcome of the campaign.
This was duly represented to head
quarters, and the Car is said to have
observed: eff she wishes to GO, let
her go-but as a common soldier in
the ranks" On hearing this, the en-
tkusiastic Amazon cried, "Even as a
drummer boy | will serve" She is
already the idol of. her regiment.

River Shifts Course.

With a roar that was heard for
miles the Mississippi river has cut
through Killicranky Neck, in Davis
bend, restored Davis Island to the
Mississippi mainland and resumed its
old channel through what in former
years had been known as Lake Pal
myra. incidentally, several valuable
cotton plantations were practically
ruined. The neck of land through
which the river cut to regain pos
session of its former channel was
about 500 yards wide. Davis bend is
twenty miles south of Vicksburg. The
break occurred at Killicrankie Neck,
opposite the Lowell plantation, on Pal
myra Island. The plantations of
Wade, Perkins, Lowell and O'Kelly
and other places will be more or less
affected by this change in the river.

May Be a Submarine Boat.

Paris.-The st. Petersburg CORES
pondent of the Echo de Paris, sends
the following:
81 learn that firm opinion pre-
walls in naval circles, based on tele-
grams form the surviving officers, that
the loss of the Petropavlovsk and the
injuries to the Pobieda were caused
by torpedoes launched by the Japa-
nese and by sumarine vessels. Hith-
erto it has not ben believed that the
Japanese had any submarine boats,
but it now admitted that such boats
might have been received with the
cruisers bought from Argentina and
brought out from Genoa by British
crews.
