He arose, got his revolver, and crept quiet ly to the door leading to the room, pre- pared to do battle with the intruder, but could see nobody. The noise continued all the rest of the night and Honiss sat by the window, revolver in hand.
 It was daylight when a man on his way to work saw Honiss at his vigil, and asked him what he was doing there. Honiss told him about the strange

SKILLED LABOR NOT NEEDED
Welding Broken Shaft May Be Done by Inexperienced Hands If
 Thermite Succeeds.

Welding a broken shaft, or even the ends of rails on trolley lines, is consid- cred of sufficient importance to require experts at the head of the work, but if the new welding material, thermite, fulfills all that is promised, unskilled workmen may be doing this work in the near future. The thermite rail- welding process has already been ac- cepted abroad and 10000 joints have been united by this system In 40 Euro pean cities. The rail ends must be cleaned from dust and rust by wire brush, and then slightly warmed. A mold is then fitted around the ends and the thermite is heated in crucible di- rectly above the entrance to the mold, into which it flows as soon as the tenn perature rises to the melting point The welding is done automatically by the thermite itself, and thus the supervis- ion of an expert welder is not required. In welding heavy shaft the mold is built up around 1t and the heat applied to the crucible as before, a process which might save valuable time on board ships.

WAR IN FAR EAST
Army and Navy Working For
 Port Arthur's Fall.
JAPAN'S SHIPS AIDING LAND FORCES
Outer Defenses of Cxar's Strongh old Reported to Be Falling One
 by One, Bringing the ,Gs End Near.

LONDON, Aug. 25.-It is reported from Weihaiwei that the Japanese have captured several forts belonging to Port Arthur's western line of de- lenses If this position has been taken and occupied, it is realized that unless the Japanese are at once dislodged the whole chain of forts will be breach ed and the position of Port Arthur ren- dered critical
 Advices from Chefu say that the Japanese armored cruisers Niasin and Kasaga hav1-s bombarded and silenced the Russian forts east of Golden hilA at the entrance of Port Arthur.
 The forts referred to are very close to Forts Taipangtze and Chaochanko.
 The Japanese have succeeded in oc- cupying Antseshan fort, as well as another fort, probably Etschau, about a mile southwest of Antseshan.
 They have driven the Russians from the parade grounds, which lie about two miles north of the harbor; they have destroyed two forts at Chao- chanko, which is within the eastern Qualifications, and they have advanced to point near Chaochanko.
 Scarcely a building in Port Arthur remains undamaged. The town hall, which was used as a magazine, has been destroyed.
 A St. Petersburg special dispatch says that orders from Emperor Nicho- las were conveyed to Captain Reitzen- stein, at Shanghai, commanding him forthwith to disarm the cruiser As gold and the torpedo boat destroyer Grozoyoi and that "the flags on both vessels were lowered at ' o'clock last night"
 From Tokyo it is reported that the nent.
 Hundreds of Japanese guns continue to pour destructive fire into the city and harbor along the lines of forts and intrenchments preparatory to the infantry assault. It is evident that the Russian lines have been weakened and partly penetrated.
 The entire line of Russian defenses immediately about the harbor is with in range of the Japanese guns.
 Advices from Tokyo say that further details of the disabling of the Russian battleship, Sevastopol have been re ceived. While engaged in shelling the Japanese land forces from g position outside of Port Arthur the battleship struck mine and was disabled by the explosion. She was then lowed into Port Arthur. The Japanese battleship Asahi has been detailed to watch the Sevastopol

 sounds, which at that moment were re- peated, They were traced to bread box, and Honiss joined the man in an in- vestigation. When they opened the box, which was in front of grocer's store, a little boy Jumped out, much to their amazement.
 He said he was Johnny Johnson, nine years old. He had gone into the bread box early in she evening while playing hide and seek, and, being tired from playing all day, had fallen asleep. The grocer evidently had fastened the hasp later, and when the little fellow awoke he found himself prisoner. The noise Hpnfss heard was his kicking and pound- ing inside the box. If it had not been for few gimlet holes in the box the boy undoubtedly would have been suffocated.
