The Terrible JAMS.

The defeat of the Russians by the
japanese at Telissu on Wednesday
seems to have been, in it's strategy,
repetition of the defeat the Rus
slams suffered on the Yalu on May
1. In the last battle, as in the first,
the Japanese won because they had
the superior force at the critical place
at the right time. All Of the land
battles thus far between the Rus
slams and the Japanese seem to indi-
cate that the Japanese have taken
to heart the great lesson Of Napo-
Icons military tactics, which is, al
ways to attack the weak place in the
enemy's lines with vastly superior
force. The Russians draw consola-
ton from their defeats because they
are overwhelmed by the number of
the enemy; but consolation of that
kind will avail but little If the Jap
anese continue to have superior num-
bers when they must count In all the
battles that remain to be fought.
AS one japanese victory follows an
other, the world becomes more and
more impressed with the military ge-
MUS of the Japanese. All Of the cor
respondents at the front unite in de-
clarlng that Japanese preparedness
ana foresight in this war are fully
equal to those displayed by the Ger
mans in the war with France in 1871.
Every precaution has been taken to
make the Japanese troops superior to
the Russians. Their artillery seems
to be the best in the world, and the
accuracy of its fire, owing largely to
the uniformity Of the Chitose pow
der, is wonderful. Writing in Col
lier's Weekly, Frederick Palmer says
that the Japanese artillerists are able
to land shell after shell in precisely
the same spot-something that would
be impossible without an explosive
of uniform strength.
The Japanese seem to be disregard
Ing some of the methods of military
experts that the Boer war taught
namely, the impossibility of success
full frontal attack on a well-armed
and well-intrenched foe. But in the
battle Of Yalu the Japanese advanced
in comparatively close formation
across an open plain against an in
trenched enemy. They repeated this
feat at. Kin-chau, and very likely did
the same at Telissu on Wednesday,
tho the primary cause of the defeat
Of the Russians was the development
of their right flank. AS we are told
that every man participating in the
earlier charges was killed or wounded,
the inference is that if the Japanese
can succeed by frontal attacks, they
have troops that will stand more pun
ishment than any others in the world.

Utilizing Flax straw.

w. B. Davenport, industrial COM
missioner for the Milwaukee road
system, has been experimenting, with
excellent prospects OF success, as to
the profitable use Of the large
amount of flax straw which annually
goes to waste in the northwest Mr..
Davenport expects to be able to de-
velop a large traffic for his road out
of industries utilizing this product.
It has always seemed to us that a,
way must be found by which to util-
lie a product SO enormous and proba-
bly, so valuable, but which has hereto
fore gone to waste. The northwest is
the great Disappointing portion Of the
country. North Dakota produces
more flaxseed than any other state in
the union, and thousands Of acres Of
flax straw are annually disposed of by
burning when it would seem as if the
fiber and practically the entire sub
stance ought to be Of great value in
the manufacture Of articles Of COM
merce. Mr.. Davenport is working
along that line and expects to produce
cordage and rope, oakum, mats, car
pets, toweling and other articles. in
Guiding pulp boards, and to make this
waste product render an annual
freight revenue to his road Of a mil
lion dollars, and place two or three
times as much money in the pockets Of
the farmers.

This is the day Of nature study, A
library without a nature shelf attracts
little attention in a popular way In

doors has become so universal that there
has come into. existence superficial zeal
that reads into the actions of the birds
and butterflies all sorts Of motives
which could originate only in the souls
and brains Of the highest species Of ami
mails. This form of popular knowledge
has been condemned by such high al,-
thorities as John Burroughs and others
like him. Therefore such works as How
to Know the Butterflies, which treats of
the subject with scientific accuracy and
yet Is written in a style which is Of easy
comprehension to the beginner, will fiji
a field which is at present vacant.
The book is divided into three parts I:
the first part being a general account of
the butterflies their relation to other In
scots. their life, their metamorphoses and
their structure; the second part gives the
general and the specific classifications
the last part deals with the Shippers"

book is the colored plates. Plate ~ is
especially beautiful. giving the picture
Of the male and female "Semnopsyche

common name is given and the scien-
-tific name. A complete description is
given Of the anatomical structure of the
butterfly and of the caterpillar before the
metamorphosis. Following this there is
a description in a popular style of all
that pertains to that variety, its food,
life and any interesting facts that may
be known about it,

the voyage among these islands are

and thousands who have traversed
those waters on their way to the gold
fields of the Klondike and the upper
