WIRELESS MESSAGES
FROM BESIEGED PORT.

Toxic. June g. 4:30 p. NIT is sus-
pected here that the Russians at Port
Arthur are communicating with points
on the Chinese coast by means of wire
less telegraphy. 1t was reported that
a wireless station had been erected Sc
cretly at the village of Pepp- Wang,
on Takin Island, one of the Mao Tao
group in Pc Chi Ii strait, and the
japanese cruiser Chitose visited the is
land yesterday to investigate. She did
not find anything. 1t is reported that
another such station has been erected
at Shan Hal Kwan.
Yesterday the Chitose steamed In close
to Liato Teshan promontory and dis
covered four masts and a watch house
near the coast. One of these masts
evidently was fitted for wireless te-
legraphy operations.
The Chitose reports having heard a
series of explosions at Port Arthur,
and believes them to have resulted
from bastings preparatory to the en-
placing of new batteries.
The japanese torpedo boat destroyer
Ikazuchi yesterday discovered and ex-
ploded a large mine off San Shan Is
land at the entrance of Talien Wan
bay.
The japanese naval authorities en-
gagged In clearing out the mines In
the vicinity of Talien Wan bay are
employing Japanese shell divers from
Kursha province for the purpose.
These divers volunteered for this work
and are wonderfully expert. 1t is said
that with their diving paraphernalia
they can stay under water for half
a day at time. Hundreds of Jap
anese fishermen are volunteering to
assist in clearing away Russian mines
and 1t is probable that some of them
will be used for this work These
voluntary offers are taken to illustrate
the unity of the Japanese people in
the war.
Washington, June 5.-The Japanese

The principal Palace of Waters Is an
immense hall which stretches in mys-
terlous grandeur far beneath the city
of Constantinople. Its roof is formed
of wide spanned arches supported on
massive marble columns. These stand
some ten feet apart. and their capitals
are deliberately wrought.
This marvellous building springs
from an expanse of waters which un-
derlies the foundations of the city for
miles. Its origin and extent have been
shrouded in mystery ever since its dis
covery about seventy years ago, when
some Of the arches gave way. All at.
tempts to explore by boat this marvel
Of construction have been either fatal
or fruitless.
Another palace of waters was the
stately Palace of Ice which was built
in 1879 at the command Of Anne, en-
press Of Russia, to honor the nuptials
Of the Prince Galiitzin and a simple
peasant girl. In this novel palace
bride and bridegroom were housed, In
rooms of which the walls and furni,
ture and bed were constructed wholly
of frozen water. sas,

Dangerous Smoking.

Natives Of Central America are In
veterate users of pimento tobacco,
which they make from dried pimento
berries, or allspice. 1t invariably gives
the smoker a sore throat and often
causes cancer Of the tongue. The ma
tives of South Africa are affected In a
peculiar manner by the smoke from
the dried leaves Of the camphor plant.
The smoker trembles with fright ut
nothing, weeps bitterly and uses all
sorts Of words which do not in the
least express his meaning. The wild
dagga, another South African plant,
poisons slowly those who use 1t.

Magnet Finds Needles

"John, buy a magnet while you're
out. Ruth has lost the old one," said
the head Of big dressmaking estab-
lishment to her errand boy.
"What do you do with magnets
here" a woman who was being fitted
asked.
1--WE find needles with them"
"How do you mean?"
every day 1t naturally happens that
my forty-five assistants drop great
many needles on the floor To stop and
look for these needles would take time.
They are all left lying, therefore. till
the days end. when cleaner goes over
the room with magnet, holding 1t
close to the floor. Every lost needle in
stantly, then. jumps up on the steel
and in that way all are recovered in a
few minutes. To recover them by any
other means would take at least an

Desert Gems.

In 1880 hunter In the northwest Of
New South Wales wounded a kanga-
roo. The animal went Off through the
mulga and the salt bush at pace too
fast for the hunter to follow and was
soon out of sight. The hunter was a
bushman and did not despair. He fol-
lowed the blood trail, hopeful of a
short search and speedy bag. At one
point of the pursuit it may be that the
trail grew faint and necessitated a
closer inspection. Anyway the hunter
stopped and picked up piece of stone.
This he examined. The red spot was
not on 1t. 1t was in 1t. 1t was not
blood that he saw; it was opal. Such
was the beginning Of the White Cliffs
opal fields.

there were 4S9 births in Winnesheik

number of marriage licenses issued
was 1874. If the same ratio continues

Virginia citizen. (Irvington, Va.) 1891-1921, 1904-08-12

DIR. j. w. BowDoiN, chairman of
the Virginia Fisheries Commission,
says that the trouble between Vir-
gina and Maryland as to the oyster
beds will never be settled so long as
Virginia has the advantage. Vir-
ginis has it now, he says, because,
while the Maryland oyster tongers
have the right to tong the neutral
waters of the Potomac river two
weeks before the Virginia tongers,
the latter have complete control of
Tangier sound, which is a great adj
vantage. AS we understand it this
advantage in Tangier Sound is
by law and all other processes of
reasoning rightfully ours. The Poto-
mac is neutral ground, as DR.. Bow
dom says. Would it not, then, be
fair to give Virginians an equal
chance in that river? While through
out this State frightening of the
longing season might be detrimental
there could be no harm in opening
the Potomac two weeks earlier to get
upon an equal footing with the
Marylanders.
