BATTLE SHIP SEVASToPOL
DISABLED BY A MINE.


Toxic, Aug. 25-.Further details OF
the disabling OF the Russian battle
ship Sevastopol have been received
here. 1t seems that on Tuesday after
noon while engaged in sheiling the
japanese land forces from a position
out side Of Port Arthur, the battle
ship struck mine and was disabled
by the explosion. She was towed
INTO Port Arthur.
The japanese battle ship Asahi was
detailed to watch the SsvastopoI.
Fer commander reports that the Rus
sian ship emerged from Port Arthur
Tuesday morning and cooperated with
certain Russian batteries in lombard
ing Japanese forces on shore. This
hring had been kept up 70, several
kcurs when the Seyastopol suddenly
stuck a submerged mine.
The explosion caused he, to list
heavily to starboard and at the same
time She lurched forward, almost bury
ing ner bow under water. She was
towed back into Port Arthur by a
tcg.
Admiral Kataoka reports that the
japanese cruisers Nishin ana kasuga
nled upon the Russian forts on Tues
Gay. Ihey discovered that the Rus
SLAMS were shelling the japanese land
forces from a position near Lungtsin-
tsz The Nismn and the hasaga

ENckE's coMMET COMING.
Constantly shortens Revolution, and
Seems to be Heading for Sun.

Constantly Shortens Revolution, and
Seems to be Heading for Sun.
Encke's comet, which is interesting
because of the fact that it has the
shortest time of revolution of any
known comet, is scheduled to appear
sCme time in the coming fall One
who has stuffed the stars said last
right, when questioned about the like
lihood the comet being sighted that
as yet it was impossible to say wheth-
er it could be seen with the naked
eye, but it is certain it can be seen
through the telescope.
Encke's comet has a period of only
about 1900 days. 1t approaches the
earth about every four years. It's
orbit does not extend as far as that of
Jupiter, and slight acceleration in
the periodic times of it's return has
been regarded until recently, as sug-
gesting the possibility of the space
within the solar system being occupied
ty a resisting medium.
Although the comet is called En-
cke's comet, it was really discovered
by Pons in 1918, and Johann Encke
discovered in 1919 that it royolyed in
the short period of 1,2O0 days and had
already been observed in 1886, 1886
and 1905. It's recurrence, therefore,
is calculated to take place every three
anG three-tenths years.
One interesting feature about this
comet is that through the acceleration
mentioned above, it has led astrono-
mers to believe that it has been
through It's resistance OF the ether
through which it and all other bodies
is compelled to pass gradually impeil
ed toward the sun, and the natural
result of such a course is that it will
eventually dash into the solar body
resulting in tCtal humiliation.
Such a course would establish a
theory which if applied to the whole
solar system, would result in much
81 equation as to the ultimate facts of
these solar bodies. While the resist
ance Of a comet, which is small and
comparatively intangible when com
pared to the large bodies, this fate
would establish Il theory that these
bodies were subject to such influence
and therefore, similar fate would be
p ophesied for them. The resistance
ot the earth, for instance, because OF
us solldity and force Of velocity,
would DC much greater than that OF
the comet, but in course OF time the
luhuence ol this solar magnetism or
whatever 1t may be would gradually
be felt
The acceleration OF the comet is
about two nOurs eacn revolution.

In regard to the reconstruction the

that it was not successfully operated
and the agricultural department has

The fund available is $4,000.

will be changed. With the new plant
there will probably be two grades
