The artillery and cavalry constitute
the weak point in the japanese army.
The horses are not well trained, nor
are they strong, and although the
japanese cavalry behaved splendidly in
recent skirmishes, with superior num-
bers Of COssacks, it is probable that
when the first lot of trained horses is
exhausted, the employment Of a sec
ond consignment of raw animals will
hamper their movements.

Handy LIQUID Heater.

When a man is at home and wants
hot water he goes to the faucet and
draws it or else pOurs it from the ket-
tie on the stove, but the same man
striving to get hot water at a hotel
or boarding house is another story.
Electricity has done so much for
humanity in recent years that it
seems impossible there can be many
new uses left for it, but still handy
articles like this one continue to make
their appearance. This arrangement
consists OF a porcelain tube, having
a spiral groove on its surface, IN
which a platinum wire is wound, the
whole being covered by a metallic
tube insulated from the wire and fin
ished with a wooden handle and a
wire leading to a plug, to be inserted
in an incandescent electric lamp sock
ct. It is obvious that when the cur
rent is switched into the wire It will
pass over the spiral platinum wire
and heat it almost to a redness
through the resistance it offers, thus
