GLORIOUS V4R FORK

Of course war is such glorious game lin its present stage of development Ithat there is no use in protesting against it, but it will do no harm to Itake an occasional look at some of it's details. For instance the destruction Iof the Japanese transport Hitachi by
 Russian warships. The Hitachi was lcarrying Japanese troops. She did not stop when the Russians ordered her to. Then the Russians opened fire on her. The troops were mustered on deck, when a Russian cruiser steamed close land poured the fire of her machine guns Unto her, making her shambles The soldiers, in compliance with orders, did tnot reply to the fire. Afterward the
 Russians drew alongside and sent three broadsides into the ship. The slaughter of men and horses was terrible. Colonel jSuchi, the officer in command of the lsoldiers on board, burned the regi- mental colors to prevent them failing Unto the enemy's hands, and as the ship was seen to be in sinking condition he lordered his men to jump overheard and k try to save themselves by swimming. There was no time to launch the boats. The Colonel had scarcely given his orr der and was still speaking when he was killed by shell. Most of the of- ficers on board committed suicide with l their pistols or swords. The skipper, an iEnglishman, jumped overheard. The water about the ship was filled with men who had leaped from the sinking lvessel. The Russians turned their rapid fire guns on these swimmers, causing dreadful destruction of life. The last Russian broadside exploded the Hi-
 tachi's boilers and she sank, twenty-six miles from the mainland, between Okino and Shimi islands. It is said that her survivors numbered less than a hundred.
 Fair enough, we suppose, as war goes,
 but rather shocking, isn't it?

WHY HE LOOKED so GRAND.

The magnificence and splendor of
 Yale seniors are common sights around here, and yet they do not lose their im- |pressiveness. May the time be far dis
 tant when they will. They must be and are even more impressive in places where they are not so common. He who is now MT. Justice Brown, of the United States Supreme court, was, it |appears, profoundly impressed by them lonce in Monson. Massachusetts, where he was studying. This is what he said about it in his speech at the centennial celebration of Monson academy: I rec |ollect one day having pointed out to me on the platform of the railroad sta tion here what appeared to be a mid fdle-aged man, who was said to be a lsenior in Yale college He could not have been more than eight or ten years older than I, but I looked upon him with la reverence which almost amounted to lave. A senior in collegel Can it be possible that I shall ever rise to such eminence? His face was grave and Idignified, and he impressed me as the embodiment of wisdom and profundity.
 Such base thought never entered my head at the time, but it has often oc- lcurred to me since that this great man lhad probably been conditioned at his Hast examination and sent home to work lup to his average.
 MT. Browns afterthought was cer7 ltainly a, base one, and he should never 1 ihave harbored it. It is not at all prob- able that the Yale senior whom he saw was conditioned, but if he was he had lwith him the Yale Spirit, which made l him feel and look grand. Why shouldn't
 MT. Brown be willing to fully enjoy
 one of the finest sights he ever saw?

CHICAGO.

It is again Presidential year" and tomorrow the Republican National Convention will meet at Chicago to pick out the next President. That is. it will nominate the man who has al- ready been picked out. or has picked himself out. For a long time it has been evident that nobody but Presi- dent Roosevelt would be nominated, so evident that there is no excitement lover the convention, and there will be hone of any account at the convention. The only uncertainty is that concern ing the nominee for vice president, and those who are booming Senator Fair banks say that there is no uncertainty about that. He says nothing. but is supposed to be willing to sacrifice him self for his country's good if his coun- try calls him loudly and heartily enough.
 The indications are for a long and dull campaign, but appearances are often deceitful, and something may
 happen to make stir. If there isn't something surprising the campaign will
 be about as tame as any that the country has ever had There are, we suppose, some who don't like Roose- welt, but perhaps they can't bring themselves to like the brainless and
 mulish Democracy.

The number who have left Syria in the past eight years is reckoned at 14O,OOO, and would have been greater but for the difficulty in obtaining passports.

It is reported that successful experi- ments have been made in various for ests of France in cutting trees by means of electricity. A platinum wire is heated to white heat by an electric current and used like saw. In this manner the tree is felled much easier and quicker than in the old way, no sawdust is produced and the slight car- bonization caused by the hot wire acts as a preservative of the wood. The new method is said to require only one eighth of the time consumed by the old saving process.

The directions for use are: Procure a fresh cocoanut, cut it in half, place one-half with the concave side facing upwards on a large cup containing some cotton wool, and inside the cocoanut put some live charcoal When the oil exudes on to the wool take the latter out and in- sert it, with the aid of blunt needle, into the aching cavity. Care must be taken not to let the oil drop on to the tongue or skin, since it raises a most painful blister.
