received the following from Willis l.

STRATEGY OF JAPANESE.

A letter from an officer of the Rus
sian cruiser Pallada has been received
here describing the first attack by the
japanese upon Port Arthur. The
writer denies the story that the officers
of the Russian fleet were ashore and
confirms the statement that the Jap
anese made use of false lights. He as
serts that at IL o'clock at night
practice drill to repel a torpedo at
tack was executed and that toward
midnight four Russian torpedo-boats,
which simulated the enemy, headed
back toward Dalny, from which place
they had come. The crews of the fleet
had retired. only the watch remaining
on deck. The ships were in the outer
harbor and the captain of the Pal
lada, which vessel occupied the ad-
vance position, had descended from
the. bridge for a last look around be-
fore going below, when he perceived
lights advancing. The ships lights
shown were white above red-being
those of the Russian warships when
they enter the harbor The captain Of
the Pallada supposed the approaching
vessels were the Russian torpedo-bo
returning from Dalny and his suspi-
cions were aroused only when. upon
drawing nearer. they covered and un-
covered their lights at irregular in
tervals. The signal tower signaled
that the lights were not understood.
At this moment the Pallada's cap

Embassador that the Russian soldiers
will afford them every protection.
The continued dearth of news from
{ the front does not occasion surprise
here, as the Russians are proceeding
deliberately with their plans, serious
land operations not being expected for
several weeks. However, minor colIi-
sions in Northern Korea may occur at
any time

Brnin work and Longevity.

In a lecture on longevity delivered
before the Royal College Of Physicians
Sir Hermann Weber, himself an octo-
gcnaran, gave official support TO the
doctrine that brain work does not KILL
but rather the reverse. A few Of his
instances were Sophocles. Plato, Galcn
Cicero, Moltl<c, Bismarck, MOmmscn
and Gladstone, TO whom we might add
Hobbies, Carlyle, Spencer and Kelvin.
The facts are that brain work increases
the supply of blood To the nerve cells
and promotes their nutrition and
health. Mosso, an Italian, laid Il man
on dclcately balanced table and
showed that the head end sank when
ever the subject did a mental sum or
any other brain work. The increased
weight Of his head was due TO the life
giving blood. The truth is that brain
work, as such, never killed anybody
