This charming studio is nothing
more or less than a great playroom

here it stops from being like the real

a single hanging relic or an alarming
array Of souvenirs. Instead there is
great floor Uttered with toys of all
sorts and descriptions and like the

is invariably in wild state OF confu-

There Is no child that will not fall
into happy situations, particularly
when pleased. They are simple By
nature and an operator who possesses
a genuine love for children cannot fail
to appreciate all the little doings and
sayings that children alone can do and
say. And these unconscious. childish
moments are the ones that he must
take advantake OF, for these are the
pictures that show baby just as he

"Biff! Bangl That's it! Hit i'm

Such were the cries heard by those
who happened to pass Board of Trade
court about 2:30 one afternoon a few
weeks ago. In the midst of a crowd
of about forty people composed of
members, clerks, messenger boys and
visitors, were two ragged urchins
fighting for all they were worth.
The larger of the two was about 10
years old and about four feet four
inches tall, while the other, though
probably as old, was considerably
smaller.
For the first five or six minutes they
fought quite evenly until the smaller,
apparently finding the opening he was
looking for, landed a had right swing
on his opponents jaw. This was fol-
lowed by few more, and while the
larger boy made his way out of the
crowd the smaller was greeted with a
shower of pennies, nickels and dimes,
which he quickly gathered up and was
seen no more.
In an alley two blocks east two boys
met. one rubbing his chin.
"How much?" he eagerly inquired
of a smaller boy.

ecclosiastics OF olden times are not al
ways reliable, Good Augustine, for in

believed for stating seriously that In
Egypt he saw people walking without
heads and with eyes In their breasts.
Be that as It may sea serpent tales
have always been discounted. But at
present there seems 10 be a change In
this regard. Even scientists are In
clined to listen to some Of these stories.
Not long ago a professor Of Trinity
college told the Hartford Scientific so
cicty the story Of the mysterious mon
ster, as far as known lie gave a long
list Of dates when il had been report
ed as seen, and these cover a period Of
three centuries at least A noted APP
pearance, he said, was ut Gloucester
and Nahant, Mass IN 1871 when hum
dreds OF reputable citizens saw some-
thing and testified 60 It, Il IS estimated
that from 900 70 700 persons saw II,
and people even drove along the beach
In crowds keeping up with It as IT
swan along Off the shore, The lecturer
said there was no doubt that something
was seen at that tima, Another case
was IN 1913, when the whole crew Of
British warship saw one and reported
sober and scientific account Of IT,
Another notable appearance was I'm
1899, when 900 passengers Of the steam
or New England declared that when
two days out of Boston they saw the
sea serpent describing It as forty to
nifty feet long, eight feet in diameter
and snorting out spray.
The latest report Of II was May 3d.
1903. II is noteworthy, said the profess
sor that the thing has been reported
nearly always in the summer or fall,
and practically always in the north
ern waters, one year between Halifax
and Gloucester the next time or Nor
way. perhaps,
The lecturer concluded by saying
that probably in all the many cases re-
ported something had been seem for it
is impossible to believe that all these
people We're liars. The universal de-
claratlon that the thing proceeded with
an undulating motion does away with
the theory Of it's actually being a big
snake. lie showed that the stories
might arise from the appearance OF "A
manatee, o big stingray, Il gigantic

possible, he added that some monster
OF the ages past had been left over to
amaze us. However the facts that
exploring expeditions had never found
the great sea serpent and that no re-
mains Of anything of the kind had even
been washed ashore were worthy of
note.
A French scientist, NJ Racovit2a, who
recently read a paper before a French
Geological society, yentured the opin-
ion that the sea serpent (Megophias

comparatively common, II one looks

SEA SERPENTS,

Tho season of the sea serpent COM
meuces somewhat early this year, and
significantly enough, It Is of the coast
Of China that the great marine monster
has appeared this time, one would,
however, expect queer sights in those
waters, after the recent happenings of
Port Arthur
It is naval French officer, the COM
mandcr OF the DecIlce who this time
tells the story Of the sea serpent. We
saw Il I'm the bay Of Along. Another
French commander saw the monster at
the same place, some time ago. The de-
scriptons agree with respect to the
small head the blowing Of spray into
the air. and the manner OF swimming
by vertical unludotors They disagree
as to color, the serpent Of one being
greenIsh-gray while that Of the other
was black, with yellow spots. As to the
presence OF ilppera pul a dorsal ridge
the two accounts also differ.

RUSSIAN RETREAT.

Ever since the crossing Of the Yalu
by the Japanese army, the Russians
have been busy explaining that their
retreat was part OF a skllfully laid
plan The only mistake made was that
committed by General Zassalitch, who
did not run away fast enough prob
ably thinking that his duty was TO fight
the japanese. II Is now explained that
General KuropatlNn has not much over
100000 men south Of Hardin. and that
his idea is to let the Japanese follow
him into the interior, until he is strong
enough to take a stand, or perhaps
the offensive. The Japanese ought to
appreciate this information from st.
Petersburg, in which the Russian plan
Is fully revealed, But is It a plan, or
only an attempt to cover up the tracks
OF an inglorious retreat? II the Rus
sian plan Is to hold their lines of de-
ftnse IN the interior, why did they In
trench considerable forces on the Yalu,
merely to lose thousands Of men and
many valuable armsl Why did they
not stay at the real line Of defense,
ard await the attack there? The fact
Is that plans OF campaign are not often
followed out. The best commanders
must rely on the moment for inspira-
tIon as to the proper course of proceed
