Hcaddresses In Africa

The married women and the men of
the upper Mobangi wear their hair
long and in braids, which are profuse-
ly adorned with colored beads woven
in and out among the locks. This colt
fure eXcites the astonshment of all
travellers who see it. CoQuetry is the
privilege of the sex under the tropics
as we'll as in civilized lands. and the
women are very proud of their head
dresses. The arrangement of their
hair requires a number of days. and
while it is in progress or when they
fear that it will be disarranged they
cover the hair with finely woven net
of wood fiber. Ivory needles hand
somely carved keep the arrangement
in position and give it truly artistic
aspect.

QUEEN BEES.
Wonderful Provision of Nature by

Wonderful Provision of Nature by
Which They Are Made.
A marvellous phase of bee life is the
power which they possess to raise
queens, or mother bees, from eggs or
very young brood that would in the
ordinary course produce work ers,
which are neuters, or undeveloped fe-
males
II by any chance queen is killed or
lost the Whole colony would perish
were it not for this wonderful pro-
vision Of nature. Much perturbed at
first at their loss, the bees after some
hours settle down and deliberately
build a pear shaped structure known
as a queen cell. This is much larger
than an ordinary cell. rough. irregu-
lar and strong.
In this the selected eggs, or larvae,
are lavishly supplied with "royal jel-
ly," which is highly stimulative and
in which the baby queen literally floats
durin" her period of growth The re-
suit is that certain organs and ova-
rles Which remain dormant in a work
er bee are perfected. and the new
queen matches out in about fifteen
days. or six days sooner than the
workers.-London Answers.

Curious Legal Custom.

A curious custom is in vogue in
many parts Of India. If dispute
arises between two landowners two
holes are dug close together, in each
of which defendants and PLAINTIFF s
lawyers have to place leg. They
have to remain thus until either one
of them is exhausted or complains OF
being bitten by insects, when he is
judged to be defeated and his employ er
loses his case.

Word has been sent out that work
has been resumed on the Thunder
mountain trail, by which Lewiston and
all north Idaho towns hope to capture
the bulk of the trade from that mining
district
e. II. Thurston, owner of the Carmi,
on the west fork of the Kettle river,
has installed a stamp mill and con-
centrator at his mine. The plant is
running very smoothly under the SUI

H. Edmunds, a prominent mining
man residing at Ladysmith, B. c.,
was instantly killed recently by a yard
engine. while he was walking down the
Esquimalt & Nanaimo railway towards

accompanied by W. M. Kiddie, brother
of the superintendent of the Tyee
slnelter, who was also thrown from the
track ty the engine and is in a critical
condition.

The Montreal & Boston Consolidated
Mining & Smelling company in two
weeks should be shipping ore to the

at the rate of from 200 to 400 tons per
day. By the end of next week the re-

completed.

THE PAST WEEK OF WAR.
Russians Fortify Tie Pass-Japs Re-
cuperate.

The past week was one OF inactivity
at the scene of war so far as actual
engagements were concerned. Kuro-
patkin was at Mukden, and large
part OF mis- force was at work on the
Notifications of Tie pass. The main
army of Oyama remained in the vicin-
ity of Ientai, recuperating after the
severe work around Liaoyang and, de-
spite Russian surmises, evidently get
ting in form for another advance
movement. The Baltic fleet was re-
ported to have sailed from Cronstadt,
and the Russian auxiliary cruiser Lena
arrived at San Francisco.
On Monday Kuroki was reported to
have fallen back to join the main army
at Yentai, while on Tuesday it was
said that a Japanese force was within
"a miles of Mukden, but not moving
north Preparations by the Russians
for a resistance at Mukden continued,
and work on the Tie pass Notifications
was pushed vigorously.
Kuropatkin's official report of the
battle of Liaoyang was made public
| w CunCoQdgs anu NAlC 1NuooAhh NOAAiAe'h
der said that his losses were below
1900, OF which $500 were killed. The
Japanese remained stationary, but
were reported to have taken over the
local administration of the Manchu-
rian districts occupied by them.
Late in the week work of dismantl-
ing the Russian cruiser began at San
Francisco, and on Friday the Japanese
were reported as concentrating at
Bensiaputze, about 20 miles southeast
of Mukden. The larger part of the
army, however, was still at Yentai
With the close of the week it was
evident that another Japanese advance
had begun, an early report from Muk
den yesterday announcing that the for
ward movement of Oyama was from
the east, southeast and southwest. Out
posts were closely engaged and there
was almost constant skirmishing. AL
the indications point to another battle
this week, either at Mukden itself o.
at the strong positions to the north
which the Russians have fortified since
their retreat from Liaoyang.

NOW attacking PORT ARTHUR
MILITARY STUDENTS BELIEVE
ASSAULT is IMMINENT.
Heavy Bombardment of Russian Fort
Usually Precedes Strong Attack
Japanese Siege Works Are Com
pIeted-They realize that Delay Is
Too Profitable to Russians.

Chefoo, Sept. 19.-Local students of
the military situation at Port Arthur,
basing their deductions upon recent
developments there, are of the opinion
that another assault is either occur
ring at the present time or is inn
minent. This opinion is based on the
very heavy bombardment of the Rus
sian stronghold that occurred on Sep
TENDER 16, for such a bombardment
forms the usual prelude to an assault;
on the arrival here of important mes
sengers from Port Arthur at time
when the running of the blockade is
extremely perilous on a recent au-
thoritative statement that the Japan
csc siege works are completed, and on
reports from Japanese sources that at
Port Dalny an assault was expected
to take place in few days. These
reports were received last week.
In addition to the foregoing there is
the common knowledge that the Jap
anese realize that their continued in
activity increases the resisting power
of the Russian garrison and their con-
sequent desire is to make such a Pc
riod of inactivity as brief as possible.
1t is asserted in a dispatch from
Toxic to the London Daily Press that
the Japanese are vigorously Smelling
the Russian defenses at Mukden, pre-
apratory to a general assault, and en-
deavoring by a wide turning move
ment to cut off General Kuropatkin' S
retreat. The Japanese armies, the
dispatch adds, are disposed in the
same elative positions as in the fight
ing before Liaoyang.

Mining Notes.

Another big strike is reported in the
Doane Rambler, the oldest copper mine
in Wyoming. In running a crosscut
from a tunnel 125 feet from the old
shaft, breast of solid copper ore four
feet in width was encountered. Only
one wall was found, which indicates
that the vein is much wider than four
feet. 1t is estimated that if the ore
runs is per cent copper, which is very
low for Rambler ore, there is now in
sight 100000 pounds of copper, val
ued at 100000.
Animportant strike was made in the
lower workings of the Cyclone mine,
six miles east of Baker City, Ore. In
drift from the 400 foot level the min
ers broke into body of ore two feet
in width that runs over 1920 per ton

NAVY TRIES NIGHT WORK
North Atlantic Squadron Practices
Workmanship.

Remarkable results have already
been obtained in the naval target prac-
tice now going on in Menemsha blight.
The vessels of the North Atlantic
squadron in last springs target prac-
tice b. oke all the worlds records for
rapidity and accuracy of fire both with
big and little guns, but this was day
light work under favorable conditions
for good shooting.
The big ships are now doing some
extraordinary night shooting. The ex-
perience of the Russo-Japanese wal
has convinced the general board that
in the future the great naval battles
may be fought at night and it is GER
tain that most of the torpedo work
will be done in the hours of darkness
Hence it is believed to be essential
to develop the gun pointers at night
work and already surprising results
have been obtained in the practice in
the night Using her eight inch guns
one of the battleships made eight hits
out of nine shots at night. The target
distant about a mile, was illuminated
by a searchlight and the gunners used
a special night sight. The ship from
which this shooting was done was forg
ing ahead in the open sea at 10 knots
