Mitchell says that he went to the
farm Sunday to see Devonshire and
have him take back what he had said.
He found Devonshire in the barnyard
and asked him if he had been circu-

shire said he had, and that they were
true. The men were soon angry and

Refined Art.
Although the Germans were always

find the first development or tha'

have learned to associate with the
term fencing. 1t is from Italy thal

over Europe, not from Spain, as IL mas
been asserted by many writer's.
IT is in the Italian rapier play OF the
late sixteenth century that we find the
foundations of fencing in the modern
sense Of the word. The Italians-ir we
take their early books as evidence anu
the fact that their phraseology OF renee
was adopted by all Europe-were the

superior capabilities for elegant
slaughter possessed by the point as
compared with the edge. They ac-
cordingly reduced the breadth or their

of to admit of reader thrust action
and relegated the cut to quite second
ary position in their system. With THIS
lighter weapon they devised in course
of time that brilliant, cunning, catiike
play known as rapier fence.
The rapier was ultimately adopted
everywhere by men of courtly habit,
but in England at least it was not
accepted without murmur and vitu-
peration from the older fighting class
of swordsmen.-Cornhill

AN ODD PHENOMENON.
Showers of Rain Can Come From .
ClOudless Sky.

Showers of Rain Can Come From q
ClOudless Sky.
It appears that rain can fall from
q cloudless sky. This is true Of thin
drizzle which falls in France, known
as "serein." AS the atmosphere looks
quite clear when it falls, the probable
ity is all in favor of. the moisture hav-
ing been brought by the wind ut
great elevation. In the island Of Maui
ritius the phenomenon is by no means
uncommon during the prevalence of
southeast winds, slight showers fall
Ing in cloudless evenings when, the
stars are shining brightly. There the
rain is thought to be due to invisible
vapor in the upper reaches of the at
mosphere, being condensed at once and
falling In drops without passing
through the intermediate stage Of
cloud. Ross said that in the south At
lantic 1t rained on one occasion for
upward of an hour while the sky was
altogether free from clouds. Says a
Genoese naturalist 1.-THE night was
clear, the stars were shining with
their accustomed brilliancy, when a
shower of rain, consisting of large
lukewarm drops, fell during six min
htes upon the town." A similar view
was once observed at Constantine, in
Algeria, about noon, the sky being all
the time a splendid blue. Some be-
lieve that these showers are the result
Of particles Of ice formed in the high
err regions melting and falling, while
others attribute them to currents of
warm and cold air travelling in oppo-
site directions, with the result that
the latter condenses some of the mois-
ture in the former and causes It to
foil.

Gen. Stoessel, the commander at Port
Arthur, published Tuesday afternoon,
recording the repulse Of Japanese and
continued attacks, strengthens conf
dence in the ability Of tho defenders
to hold out despite the furious on
slaughts- being made on them. The
last attack mentioned by Gen. Stoessel
took place the night of Sept IA and
was directed against redoubt No. S,
which protects the water supply of the
city.
Other Jap Intentions.
The kilograms brought to Chefoo by
Prince Radziwill have not yet reached
the war Office. 1t is understood that
these dispatches contain details of the
landing of strong Japanese reinforce
ments at Dalny, which would tend to
confirm the belief that it is the inten.
ton of the Japanese to storm the
fortress and that warships will prob.
ably take part in the attack. In this
event Rear Admiral Wirens division
will doubtless go out and engage the
Japanese fleet.
All Russia is anxiously awaiting
news from the beleaguered garrison.
Public feeling has been aroused to
high tension by the dreadful picture
given by Prince Radziwill of the suf
ferings of the Russian army there.
