Sense of Sight Deceived.

The sense of sight is deceived in
sidered For instance, stand and
watch the revolutions of the cups of
the anemometer-the instrument used
for measuring the velocity of the wind.
You may gaze for several minutes
as carefully as you please, yet at the
end of that time still be puzzled as to
the real direction in which they are
turning around The more uncertain
the wind and the greater consequently
the variation of the speed, the more is
the difficulty of the task increased.
Again, standing below high build
ing and looking up. many will aver
that the wall is not exactly perpin-
dicular. but inclines overhead in a
threatening manner. The longer the
wall extends the stronger the illusion.
Another simple illustration of the
difficulty experienced by most people
in making exact observation is the
failure to notice mistakes in type. In
recent experiment copies of uncor
rected proofs were distributed among
a number of scholars in the highest
grade Of a primary school The aver
age age of the class was ii years.
The average number of errors found
was only - Some of the children only
found three. The actual number as
marked by professional proofreader
was Al. A particularly interesting
point about the experiment was that
the older children as a rule found fewer
mistakes than the younger.

NEWEST FASHIONABLE PET.


 Strange are the pets that London fashion conlpels it's followers to keep, and various as they are strange A new Cuban poodle was the rage a few months back A special canary follows. Now it is a fish again, and the strangest of fish at that The goldfish will have to look to its laurels, otherwise it will most certainly be su- perseded in popularity by the devil- fish, most quaint-lookng reptile, for which, a leading dealer states, there have been innumerable demands of late.
 The real home of this fish is Mexico, and owing to it's being somewhat rare the cost of a devilfish is considerably | higher than that of the goldfish, which can be bought for a few pence, while the price of it's rival varies from five to ten shillings. A curious characteris- tic of the devilfish is that it almost in Iyariably remains at the bottom of it's bowl or, tank, and it is most unusual | to see it swimming about Unlike it's golden-scaled relation, it does not de- mand a. frequent change of water in it's home, but will live quite well in the
 same water for weeks together, while
 it's taste in the matter of food is not
 hard to please, for a devilfish likes
 nothing better than very small worm
 As a general rule London dealers sell
 these fish by pairs.-London~ Daily Mail.

THE AMERICAN EAGLE TO THE


 A. L. M. Gottschalk, the American consul at. Guayaquil, Ecuador, tells a |good story about the difficulties he has had to keep a monkey on the consulate premises because of the depredations of the boa constructors. The big rep tiles have a failing for monkeys, and these agile little pets must keep a con- stant lookout for them. If Jocko drops into a doze he is likely to wake up dead" On the occasion with which the story deals, monkeys life was saved by the picture of the American eagle. The consulate sign all over the world is fine production of the king of birds, in full color, and with out spread wings. A new sign had just been received, and was waiting on a Ichair inside the room. A big boa con- strictor chased the house monkey across the yard and through the open window.

WAR SITUATION SUMMARIZED

Following Kuropatkin's sudden blow
which resulted in the capture of the
Japanese fortified position OF Bentsia-
putze and the consequent fanking of
the Japanese right the campaign in
Manchuria seems to have entered upon
an entirely new phase. With the Rus
SLAMS now on the offensive, as the move
seems to indicate, the surmises to
which the past ten days of almost ab-
solute silence gave rise are scattered
and it seems practically certain that
kuropatkin means to give battle south
of Mukden and that the position he
has prepared at Tie pass is for the
contingency of a defeat and also to
strengthen his general plan. In St.
Petersburg it is believed that at least
week will elapse before the two
armies meet and in the meantime the
vital question is whether Oyama will
contest the present Russian advance
or fall back to his strong positions to
the north of Liaoyang.
Kuropatkin's advance lis being made
with extreme sloWness and delibera-
ton and it is now known that the
movement against Bentsiaputze has
been under way since Oct. 4. The new
situation causes st. Petersburg to be-
Geve that winter campaign will be
undertaken.
Kuropatkin's army Is moving in two
strong columns, one on each side OF
the railroad, and they are entrenching
as they advance.

New York, Oct. 8.--George Heath,
an American driving an imported car
and representing the Automobile club
OF France, won the William K. Van
derb1lt. Jr., cup in the 300-mile road
race held on Long Island under the
auspices Of the Automobile club OF
America. He won by the narrow mar.
gin of l minute and % seconds. The
contest cost one life and at least four
persons were injured, none of them,
however, fatally. The fatal accident
occurred to the car of George Arents.
j., a wealthy New Yorker. and the
man killed was Karl Mepsel, his ma
chlnlst. Arents' car was No. and
he was driving at a tremendous speed
when, just as he approached sharp
curve on the Hampstead road, q front
tire slipped and the great sixty horse
power machine went over. Both
Arents and Mensel were hurled with
tremendous force to the roadway. Both
were picked up unconscious and hur-
ried to hospital, where Mensel died
in short while. Mr.. Arents' injuries
are said not to be of a serious charac-
ter. All Of those injured were con-
nected in some way with the race,
most of them being helpers.
Heath, the winner, covered the 300
miles In hours, 26 minutes, IS Sec
onds, and Clement, the second man. in

IN TWO STRONG COLUMNS.
Kuropatkin Personally Directing Rus
sian Advance.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 10.-General
Kuropatkin is in the field, personally
directing the forward movements Of
the army, which, it is understood, is
divided into two strong columns, NOV
ing on each side of the railroad,
whence they will draw their supplies,
their tanks being assured by no less
than $50 sQuadrons of Cossacks. The
Russians are operating along a front
OF between forty and f0rty-f1ve miles,
extending from kaoutou pass to Bent
siaputze on the east and across the
Hun river to the left bank of the Lao
river on the west. They are taking
every precaution against possible
counter attacks, throwing up entrench-
ments as they advance southwark.
Field Marshal Oyama, however, has
not yet shown a disposition to strong
ly hold his outer positions. The eyac-
uation OF Ben1siaputze LETT the flank OF
the japanese position at the Yental
mines unprotected and news of the
abandonment of the mines is, there
fore, hourly expected.
The Japanese appear to be concen-
trarlng their forces in the fortifica-
tions formerly occupied by the Rus
SLAMS on the right bank of the Taitse
river, which are exceedingly strong,
and they have an equally good de-
tense north and south.
The Japanese retired from Bentsia-
putze almost without struggle, fear
ing that General Mistchenko's Co.'S
sacks would surround the position and
Cut them off.
Bentsiaputze is Of the highest i'm
portance, commanding the roads from
Mukden and Fushun to Liaoyang and
Bensihu.
An engagement is reported to have
occurred Sunday on the Russian right
flank, fourteen miles southwest Of
Mukden.

Freight Blamed for the Disaster.

Warrensburg, Mo-, Oct. 11.-Twenty'
nine persons were killed and sixty In
jured by collision Of Missouri Pa
cific trains three miles east Of War
rensburg at 4 o'clock Monday morn
ing. The trains were the second sec
ton of passenger train No. 80, which
left Wichita, Kan, for st. Louis at
night and an extra freight train. The
dead are in undertaking rooms in this
city and most Of the injured are in the
railroad hospitals in Sedalia, Mo.
According to the local Office OF the
Missouri Pacific the engineer of the
freight was to blame for the wreck
having forgotten his orders. He had
been ordered to wait on a siding at
Knobnoster, just east OF Warrensburg'
but neglected to do so.
The passenger train was made up OF
three coaches and Pullman, with No
baggage car, the front coach being
next to the tender. The freight train
was heavy one. When the trains met
the heavy freight pushed the passen'
ger engine back into the first coach.
The tender of the passenger engine
literally cut the coach in two in the
center and never stopped until it had
ploughed itself half way through the
car and it's passengers, killing those
in the forward end instantly and
mangling all within reach In most
horrible manner.
Half a dozen who were not killed
outright were so terribly injured that
they died before they could be re-
moved from the debris. Many of the
dead were almost unacceptable
Arms and legs were dismembered in
several cases and. together with bag
gage and pieces of wreckage, were
tumbled together into a confused mass
of bleeding human forms.
The next two coaches were also
badly damaged, seats being torn up
and windows smashed, but the passen-
gers Jared better, all except few
escaping with slight injuries. The
Pullman remained upright and none
of it's occupants were hurt beyond sus'
tanning severe shaking up.
