Long Journeys Made by Whales

Long Journeys Made by Whales.
The whales that swim about the is
lands which lie off the coast. of Nor
way and Finland in March and April
travel immense distances. In May they
turn up at the Azores or even at the
Bermudas and sometimes pay visit
to the Antilles. They swim fast, for
in June they are back again off Nor
way. Some of these whales have been
known to bring back evidences Of
where they have been, for harpoons Of
the peculiar kind used off the coast Of
South America have been found stuck
in them.-St. James Gazette.

Seoul, April 5.-Wiju has been aban
doned by the Rcssians, who have re-
tired across the Yalu river. A detach-
ment of Japanese scouts entered the
city at 100 Monday afternoon and
found not single Russian in the
place.
WIFI is one of the most important
cities in northern Korea, situated near
the mouth of the Yalu, almost oppo-
site Antung, in Manchuria, and it had
been supposed the Russians would
make a strong effort to hold it. There
is now no Russian force of any size
south of the Yalu.
The landing of the Japanese at
Chinampo has now ceased. The
troops have moved north from that
port, which is amply guarded by a
large fleet. The japanese military
base has been removed north from
Ping Yang and now few troops are left

Summer Ice.

The peasants Of Pongibaud, in the
mountains of Auvergne, are acquainted
with a singular summer formation Of
ice, presumably due to evaporation Of
underground moisture and consequent
fall in temperature. OF this phenom-
enon they have for many years taken
advantage to cool and harden their
cheeses, which are deposited in certain
caverns where this ice is found to be
present, and thus keep good during the
hottest summer months.
There IL one rational way to

of taste and smell. The sufferer who is

Russians Falling Back to the Yalu.
Cheng-Ju, because of it's superior
natural surroundings, is the strongest
place between Ping-Yang and Win.
Besides these natural advantages there
is an old Korean fort there, which,
had it been defended with spirit, would
have been hard to take. The Japanese
are gratiied at the comparative ease
with which they drove the Russians
from this fort. Russian patrols are re-
ported to be in the country east Of the
Picking road, but it Is not probable
that there is any considerable force of
Russians In that section. The patrols
are withdrawing gradually to the

were the Russian tactics during the
Turkish war, they permitting the
Turks to win small skirmishes which
drew them forward until the Russians
were massed at Plevna. Several VIC
tories in northern Korea will so stimu-
late the Japanese ambition that they
will adopt the cry OF On to Hardin,
which is exactly the point to which
General Kuropatkin seeks to lure
them"
