CHARGE ON NANsHAn HILL.

Yards from TIE Top.

1afoe From the Top.
The japanese assault on Nanshan
bill was one Of the fercest and bloodi-
est affairs In modern warfare. In the
earlier rushes of the engagement every
man participating was shot down be
fore he reached the first line Of Rus.
sian trenches.
II was found necessary TO stop these
infantry charges and renew the artil-
lery fire Lon the rear before the final
and successful assault on the Russian
position could be made. The success
Of this assault was brought about by
one detachment OF japanese troops,
more intrepid than their comrades,
who succeeded In piercing the Russian
lines.
A splendid stroke Of fortune was the
discovery and destruction by the Jap
anese OF the electrical wires leading
to the mines at the eastern foot Of
Nanshan hill. This prevented the Rus
slams from exploding these mines when
the japanese infantry crossed the
ground where they had been planted
II is possible that the fortunes Of the
day hinged upon these mines. IL the
Russians had been able to explode
them az the right time the losses
among the japanese troops would have
been tremendous, and it is possible
also that the Russians would have
been able to hold the hill.
Nanshan was splendidly defended
Nearly so guns OF various sizes were
mounted on the various emplacements
and there were also two batteries of
quick firing field pieces. The artillery
was sheltered behind loophoied
trenches On the terraces Of the hill.
The infantry manning the field pieces
ran with them around the hill. thus
using these guns for the protection of
the most important points.
The japanese began the fight by
bringing all their field guns into action
and concentrating their FIRE on the en-
placements on the hill BY IL O'Clock
in the morning the principal Russian
batteries had been silenced. The two
Russian field batteries then withdrew
to Nanquaniing hill and from there
continued to fire on the japanese until
nighaall. After the Russian batteries
had been silenced the japanese arti.-
lery opened on the enemy's trenches.
the japanese infantry advancing, in
the meantime. TO within rife range.
The japanese gradually worked for

sian lines, where they encountered

succeeded in discovering an opening in
these obstacles and getting finally 10
within 200 meters Of the Russian
trenches, they rushed for the line
Several successive charges were
made, but every Officer and man in the
attacking parties was shot down 20
or so meters from the line. The
charges were then stopped and the
Japanese artillery renewed its prepar-
atory IRE on the enemy's position. To

charges that the japanese sustained

RED LIGHT AND SIN.
Chicago Psychologist Believes Their
Is Connection.


Red light is a cause OF SIN, accord
ing to DR.. Walter Din Scott a Chicago
psychologist. He claims that it has
a peculiar effect upon human beings
constantly subject TO it; and he re
calls the illustration drawn in fac.
tory in France which was illuminated
with red light. The operatives became
so demoralized that it was decided 60
shit 80 another color, whereupOn nor.
NAL conditions reappeared.
Since as much can be SAID in favor
on red as against it, it would no5 be
well TO condemn it too quickly. Vari
Gus diseases are now treated success
fully by red rays, and il is certain that
bright colors produce a brightness o.
sentiment in a patient, while dull col
ors have the opposite effect.
Red has been held in high favor
10y many nations. 1t is the Chinese
color of good luck. and the hue the
Scandinavians give To the hair ana
beard OF their great god. Thor. II is
also a royal color. and last, but not
least, adorns the breast OF our cher
ished friend Cock Robin, who surely
cannot be charged with any gray
breach of the moral law.

Variation Of Moons Size.

AS seen by different persons, the
size Of the moon varies from that OF
a cart wheel to silver dollar. To
many il seems about foot in diane
ter. from which Prof. Young concludes
that to the average man the distance
of the surface of the sky is about 10
feet. 1t is certain. that artists usually
represent the moon much too large in
size in their paintings. Occasionally
they represent it in evening scenes
with the horns turned downward in
stead of upward, whereas they must
always point away from the sun. The
true angular size Of the moon is about
half a degree, SO that it can always
be concealed behind a leadpencil held
at arms length.
