Chinese Ward on Winters Rlsors By
Carrying Hand Furnaces.


The contented smile Of the heather
Chinee" may be partially accounted
for by their Indifference to the cold
ness OF the winter months. For In
the north OF China they care not
whether they be indoors OF out; they
always have a stove with them In the
shape Of a hand furnace. Instead OF
the fire being placed in the house IL
is carried about the person, beneath
the thickly padded cotton garments
or in the hand; at times Il is placed
beneath the chair on which the Celes-
tial is seated. The discovery OF this
unique method OF avoiding winters
rigors was made by a traveller in Flu
kien province. whose attention was at
tracted to the universal and peculiar
deformities OF Its inhabitants. Strange
swelliugs projected in the most unac-
countable places on the anatomy OF
the villagers Speculations were set
at rest by an old gentleman. who re-
moved his coat and disclosed small
copper furnace secured around his
waist with a band and neatly covered
with basket work. This artificial
mode OF warming the body Is only re-
sorted to in time OF extreme cold. as
on ordinary occasions the people deem
their thick clothing a SUFFICIENT pro-
lection during winter.

The Nagasali correspondent OF the
London Daily Telegraph, cabling un.
der date Of February 22nd, reports
that the japanese squadron has cap
tured four Russian torpedo boats al
Port Arthur by using Russian signals.
This dispatch appears TO confirm re-

The report reached Nagasakl from
Chefoo, and II adds that the Russian
crews OF the four torpedo boats have
been transferred.
No other news Of this attack has
been received in London, but the Che

Most OF the prairies in the United
States have ceased to exist Man has
broken them up with orchards. for.
ests and farm buildings. But in
Western Canada the pralries still
stretch grandly from horizon to hori-
zon as yet unmarried by the hand Of
man, save where the iron road has
been laid. To a city man there is
something deliciously restful about
the vast grassy solltudes
Numerous clumps of trees mark the
course OF the Assiniboine river. which
keeps In sight OF the railroad for some
distance.
Grass Is one OF he notable things
about all the landscape OF Western
| Canada. II is a remarkable fact that
the entire length OF the Canadian Pa.
cific railway from its eastern termi.
nus to the Rocky Mountains Is over
plains where grass grows. The sage
brush appears at some points. but
never TO the exclusion OF grass. There
is thus not a mile Of this country that
cannot be used for some agricultural
purpose-eithor for filling or ranch.

Moose Jaw is a town OF over 2 900
Inhabitants, and one of the most Inn
portant places in Asslniboia. being the
center Of very good farming coun.
try and a great grain and stock ship
ping point.
Near Moose Jaw agriculture and
ranching go hand in hand; for near
the town was seen a herd OF beef
cattle several hundred in number. on
another side was seen a good sized
herd OF dairy cows, the property OF
the citizens in the town.
"In riding over the prairles we saw
many good fields of alfalfa. The great
need OF the country is timber, which
grows readily where planted, as was
demonstrated By the shelter belts on
some of the farms. and the trees on
the residence lots in the town.
stories were told the writer OF
men who last year cleared from their
wheat crop more than the land on
which 1t was grown originally cost

OF the large crop md high price for

SHARKS IN TORPEDO WORK.
Suggestion That the Great Fish Be
Utilized In the Naval Service.


All sorts of queer devices are OF.
fered the army board Of ordnance and
Notifications as engines OF destruc-
ton. One of the strangest sugges-
lions of this kind yet presented to the
consideration Of the board contem-
plates the use Of large fish, prefer
ably sharks. for the propulsion OF sub
marine torpedoes. According to the
plan proposed a shark is to be i'm
prisoned in a tube at the rear end Of
the projectile. and is to be controlled
in its movements by the active appli-
cation of wireless telegraphy.
In case the shark became restless
and attempted to swim away on his
own account II was to be given an
electric shock, and in that way kept
on its course until the torpedo had
reached its target. Another remark.
ably ingenious proposition emanated
from the same fertile brain, and con.
templated the employment OF war
balloons in any desired direction. In
this case also the birds, harnessed
to the aerial vehicles. we're to be con-
trolled in their movements by sys-
tenn of wireless telegraphy. These
balloons were to be provided with
tcrpedoes, or bombs. which could be
dropped at any desired point by the
use Of wireless telegraphy.

Hlndoo Thieves Would Not Steal the

The prejudice against blood that Is

pose. When the American engineers
were building an electric power sta.
ton in the Mysore territory in south
ern India they found that something
was wrong with the fabrication OF the
machinery. The, oil disappeared. They
discovered that a Hindoo must. by HE
religion. take a periodical bath IN oil.
To him oil is oil. The vorkmen had
drained the bearings for bathing pur

How to stop the thieving was Q
puzzling problem until someone solved

and he will not touch anything that

were killed, therefore, and blood was
dripped into the bearings. There was
no more stealing OF oil. however many
