Japanese Knew His Method Of Sail
ing, and Laid the Trap.
A letter from Moscow to the Lon
don Telegraph says Admiral Max.
aroff, unaccustomed to maneuver a
large squadron in so difficult a place
as Port Arthur, frequently had such
slight mishaps as collisions of ships,
which. fortunately, entailed no seri-
Gus consequences. Finally he drew
up and stereotyped a plan of maneu-
vers, according to which ships had
to form in line of battle outside the
harbor, each one taking up specified
place, and from this arrangement he
never departed. The Japanese,
noticing this uniformity, anchored a
contact mine in the position assigned
to the Petropavlosk, and in this way
the disaster was brought about. A
few minutes before the catastrophe
an officer twice requested the admiral
to seek for contact mines. but he
was told to mind his own business.
The officer repeated the warning a
third time and Makaroff ordered him
to go away Immediately under threat
of punishment"

Their Characteristics.

chicago Club Woman Recalls Some Of
Their Characteristics.
An Observant Chicago club woman
who recently returned from Japan tells
the following interesting characters.
tics Of the little brown man:
HE is always a student and always
a poet. The sight Of an almond tree
in full bloom will cause him to pour
forth his admiration in poetry, which
he writes on streamers of rice paper
and attaches to the limbs of the beau
tiful pink towering tree. Such a tree
may in a few days become the shrine
OF hundreds Of deyotees. each inspired
by the sight to a high pitch of poetic
fervor, which vents itself In the form
of more poems, so that before the al
mOnd season is over a whole orchard
is often a fiuttering mass of poetical
tributes TO the beauties Of fora.
Il have known a hard working Jap
anese to save a whole year in order to
take his family on a trip to the noun

a distant waterfall"

wonderfuI Jewel.

The most extraordinary pearl-or
rather cluster of pearls-known as
The Southern Cross" is owned by
a syndicate of Australian gentlemen,
who value It at $4,000. So far as is
known it occupies an absolutely
unique position. 1t consists of nine
pearls, naturally grown together in
so regular a manner as to form a per-
feet Latin cross. The pearl was dis
covered by a pearl fisher at Roe
bourne, West Australia. The first
owner regarded it with so much SUI
perstition that he buried It; but It
was discovered in 1874, and FIVE years
later was placed on exhibition in Aus
tralia.
