Fortifications of Liao-Yang.

German military men have information
that the defenses of Liao-yang are of ex-
traordinary strength. The fortifying Of
the town was trusted to Gen. MeliShtkO,
who enjoys the reputation of being a mas
ter Of military engineering. During the
past two months he has fortified all the
strategic positions around Liao-yang in a
manner well-nigh impregnable. Triple
lines Of trenches crown every height where
artillery could be effective. The entire line
of Notifications is connected through pas
sages for facilitating the reinforcement of
endangered points, while bomb-proof re-
treats covered with steel rails protect re-
serves. All important points have tele-
graphic communication with headquarters
The German critics think Liao-yang's de-
lenses about equalize the difference in num-
bers between the Russians-estimated at
18O. OOQ-and the Japanese, numbering 240,-
600. The danger of Gen. Kuropatkin's sit
uation is recognized as being bottled up like
Field Marshal Bazaine, who surrendered
Metz to the German forces in 1870. 1t is
doubted by the experts if Gen. Kuropatkin
will be able to prevent the complete en-
circling of Liao-yang. which would mean
probably the eventual loss of his entire
army. The Japanese delay of action is be-
lieved to have been due to the necessity of
bringing up siege guns with which to break
the Russian fortified tons.

The Patent Office should have q
humorous department, for there is scarce
ly day when something is not re-
ceived which will excite the disabilities.
Here is an invention by Peter Nasn. of
Oregon, who has evidently felt that the
talk about seats for women EMPLOYEES
indicated lOng-felt want and he set his
inventive mind TO filling it. His inyen-
ton is certainly benevolent, but his device
seems quite funny. Here is the first para
graph of his claim for a patent:
1. A portable folding stool, consisting of
Observation-Disclosures members. one of
which is adapted to be secured to each
leg Of the wearer, each of said members
consisting OF upper and lower leg-engag-
ing sections hinged together at their in
ner ends, means for securing said sec
tons to the wearer's limbs, a supporting
standard piyotally secured to said upper
leg-section, and connecting rods or braces
pivotally connecting said standard and
leg-engaging sections together, substantial
ly as described.
The humor of the thing is imagining
any one strapping herself up with this
complicated device and going about her
work with the wire fabrication humping
against and catching everything in that
township. She would be pretty tired
individual after a few hours of this expert
ence. At the same time, il is possible that
the invention may be of use for berry
picking and other field work in which
women may engage.

is also probable that If persons fall into

theory has been able to produce man

JAPAN AFTER THE WAR.

The japanese are putting forth such ire
mendous efforts. and making such enormous
sacrifices to carry on this war that after 1t
is ended they will not allow. themselves to
even think of another war for at least a
half-century, or until the generation which
has carried on this gigantic struggle has
passed away, and another has come upon
the stage which sees only the glory and the
rich material fruits of the bitter contest.
This is the history Of all progressive ma
tions. They carry on great war or make
some other prodigious effort which ex-
hausts the strength, money and resources
of one generation. The next generation
pays off all the debts incurred, fills up the
treasury again, and grows up young men
emulous of the brave deeds of their faith
ers and grandfathers. In this country our
Revolution ended in 1888. We went ahead
building up the Nation and gaining
strength for 20 years, when We ventured
upon another great war-that of 1872.
This lasted three years. From 1915 to the
small war with Mexico in 1916 was Il
years. The Mexican war was but a slight
country, and in 1S61-46 years after the
conclusion of peace with Great Britain
came the greatest war in history.
The War of the Rebellion ended in 1855
For 33 years after the people We're intol-
Grant of any mention Of war. Then they
nerved themselves up for a struggle with
Spain.
| BY the time the Japanese have finished
! the war with Russia it will have cost them
proportionately as much in blood and treas
ure as our war for the Union. and their re-
cuperation can be by no means so rapid as
ours.
Therefore. it is quite safe to assume
that for the next 80 or 40 years Japan will
be extremely quiet, and her main business
will be binding up her wounds and re-
filling her treasury. Then will come Amer
ica's opportunity to extend her influence
and trade in the East, and she will take as
full advantage of it as France and England
! did Of our period Of recuperation.s

SCIENCE AND INVENTION.

As this country uses one-half of the tin
produced in the world, the question of q
supply under our own flag has always been
q very earnest one. There is an abundance
of tin in the Black Hills, but so far no
process of extraction has been successful.
A tin mine in California is said to have q
hopeful prospect, but this has been said for
years, without material results At pres
ent most Of our tin comes from the far East.
principally Malacca. There is now said to
be prospect of q large supply from North
and South Carolina. The Carolina Tin Co.
has made large shipments from the tin
mines near Bessemer City, N. c., and also
from Gaffney. s. G. These are said to be
the first profitable shipments of tin ore in
carload lots made in this country. Ii is
claimed that the results from the North
Carolina vein are very satisfactory. the

copper is at once fatal to typhoid germs.
and for this reason the health authorities

the city water is obtained 1t is also claim
ed that the use of copper vessels will kill
typhoid germs, and that if drinking
water Is kept in copper vessels il will
not only kill all the microbes, but keep it
from growing any more. There is not much
danger OF copper poison, as the amount n
too small to have any effect upon the hu-

Several Boston hotels have just discov-
cred that they were swindled out of thou
gang operating from Elizabeth, N. j..
with an old WORKOUT trick. They used
the United States post Office money order
sands of dollars in Grand Army week by
department as a basis, and seven of the
hotels are hit hard by the scheme. The
crooks had man in Elizabeth, who ap-
piled for money orders carrying from % to
so cents, which were sent to a confederate
in Boston and raised to $25 and $50. 1t
was comparatively easy to do this, and
when it was not the figures were entirely
erased and the desired amounts substituted.
One or two of/the Boston confederates
posed as Grand Army veterans, attired in
full regalia or wearing the little lapel but
ton. and easily secured the cash from hotel
clerks, who commended the shrewdness OF
the veterans" in having money sent this
way instead of carrying big roll to be
taken by pickpockets. The Federal off,
Gals are now on the track of an individual
whom they believe headed the gang.

ISOLATED Press dispatches from st. Peters
burg, 1.-THE river itself becomes an i'm
portant factor in the general scheme Of
Russian defense"
Dispatches from both Russian and jap
anese sources indicate that the troops on
both sides are jaded and weary after the
many days fighting, and it is pointed out
that in consequence q temporary hull in
the active struggle would not be surpris-
ing.
A dispatch received at Tokyo says that
great fires are raging at Liao-yang, "be-
lieved to result from the japanese she'll
ing or from the efforts of Russians to de-
stroy their stores, preparatory to the
evacuation of Liao-yang, with the addi-
tiOnal hope of injuring the city as a flu
ture japanese base"
The opinion prevails in the japanese
capital that the Russian casualties in the
recent fighting will reach 10000, while
the Russian losses of Aug. 81 and Sept
l are given in official reports as 5000
killed or wounded.
The report from Marshal Oyama that
he was engaged on Thursday with the
Russian center would indicate that at
least portion of Kuropatkin's army was
still on the south bank of the river.
1t is not yet definitely stated that the
japanese have occupied Liao-yang.
Unofficial estimates place the Russian
Is divisions of $4,000 men EACH These
are~probably excessive. but it is evident
that numerically the Russians exceed the
japanese.
The opinion that the Russian casualties
in the recent fighting will reach 10000 is
confidently expressed in high quarters
here. Neither Field Marshal Oyama nor
the japanese army commanders have yet
estimated the Russian losses.
1t seems that the japanese avoided n
direct assault upon Liao-yang itself, but
devoted their energies to the troops out
side the city and an effort to cut off the
Russian retreat. Liao-yang is strongly
fortified, and it is probable that the jap
anese will not attack the city directly I'M
til they have succeeded in isolating it.

commanding the railway. Kuropatkin
massed his retreating forces near Yen-Tai,
and took the offensive. The Japanese, re-

Long-Continued Fighting to Turn the Russian
Flanks : Kuropatkin Driven Out Of His
Stronghold.
The united Manchurian armies of Japan
engaged in a desperate attack upon Lao
yang. where Gen. Kuropatkin had con-
centrated every available Russian soldier.
Following the preliminary successes of
the 10Th, south Of Liao-yang, Field Mar
shall Marquis Oyama, the commander of
the japanese forces in the field, promptly
marshaled his forces and at dawn of
Aug. 30 desperate attack upon all the
Russian positions was made.
The japanese found the Russians hold
ing long chain of splendidly fortified po-
sitions with tremendous force Of artil-
lery. The japanese artillery opened the
way, but these preliminary attacks gen.
orally failed to give an opportunity for
an assault. Victory at LiaO-yang means
the domination of Manchuria and posi-
bly, the end of the Autumn campaign.
