Toxic. Feh. l3.-Vice- Admiral Togo's
official report OF the desperate attack
Of the Japanese fleet at Port Arthur

The report was written at sea Feb.

modestly fecounts the Japanese vic
tory. Nice-Admira Togo left the
battle-ground not knowing the ful sx-
tent OF the damage his torpedo boats
had Inflicted. but he WAS evidently con
fident that the Russians had suffered
heavily. A translation OF the vlce-adm
rails report follows:
After the combined fleet left Sasebo

At the time. the enemy advance squad

Port Arthur. or the advance SQUAD
ron. at least the battleship PoItava.
the protected cruiser AskoId and two
others appeared to have been struck
by our torpedoes. on Feb. 2 at noon
our fleet advanced in the offing OF Port
Arthur bay and attacked the rest OF
the enemy's ships about forty minutes.
The result of the attack is not yet
known, but it il believed considerable
damage was inflicted on the enemy. and
l believe they are greatly demoralized.
They stopped fighting about 1 O'Clock.
and appeared to retreat into the harbor.
In this action the damage TO our fleet
was very hight. and our fighting
strength is not in the least decreased.
The number of killed aud wounded
was tifty-eight. OF these four were
killed and fifty-four wounded. A re-

"HIGH FINANCE"

In his most interesting testimony
at the gas hearing, Thomas w. Law
son testified that he and his friend
Rogers had for nine years been on
very intimate terms. Business trans
actions aggregating more than $780,.
100000 had been carried on without
any writing having passed between
them. There were $46,000,00O made
without stroke of the pen.
That so little gas escaped with such
q careless leaving open OF the WIN
dows is the real wonder. Such con-
fiding brokerage has seldom been on
record. BY sort Of wireless telegra-
ply these great sums of money seem
to have been passed around while the
real thingness Of the thing remained
a profound mystery.
The secrets of reorganization thus
grow more and more profound. Trans
actions can be made out Of wind and
gas so fine that they transcend the
science of accounts and intricacies OF
bookkeeping.
Those who attempt to make some
thing out Of nothing naturally find
themselves encountered with such diff
flculties. That in the midst of their
tolls they smite so serenely and carry
so supreme an air Of innocence only
shows the high financial strata in
which they live. move and have their
being.
How "high finance" can thus re-
solve itself into grotesque shapes and
give to airy nothingness local habi-
tation and name is perhaps only
for adopts to know.-Boston Globe.

SAFETY ON THE HIGH SEAS.

In the times Of Henry Morgan and
the other buccaneers Of the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries the name
Of Spanish galleon was always signi-
cant of a treasure-ship conveying al
most incredible wealth across the At
lantic How eager was the quest Of
the British freebooters for the vessels
which were laden with precious car
goes Of silver, gold and gems consign-
ed from the old world to the new!
Those were days Of daring adventure,
Of slaughter and massacre, the Span
iards almost invariably becoming the
prey Of the British vikings. Nova
days many millions of gold are sent
over the ocean in single steamship
without dreaa of peril. Upon the At
lantic ferry a leviathan of the deep
may at any time transport gold bars
worth q dozen millions Of dollars and
the captain of the boat does not lose
wink Of sleep because he has such
a store Of riches on board. His ship
and his cargo are fully insured and
there are none to modest him or to
make him afraid.-New York Tribune.

A NEW GRANT-LEE STORY.

Sir Mountstuart Grant 3mts's
"Diary" has not yet reached this coun-
try, but the English reviews all con-
tain selections from this amusing
store Of anecdotes. The following
story the diarist got from Mr.. Robert
Lincoln when he was American minis
ter to Great Britain:
Only three persons were present
when Lee surrendered; Lee himself,
Gen. Grant and l, who was the aide
de-camp Of the latter. What really
passed was this: Lee came in superb
ly dressed, and wearing the sword
which had been given him by the ladies
of Richmond. Gen. Grant and I had
been separated from our baggage, and
had on the clothes we had been wear.

LONDON BUILT OVER LAKES.
Third Of These Underground Streams
Just Discovered.

Third Of These Underground Streams
Just Discovered.
A third lake has been discovered be-
meath the surface of London. Recent
excavations in the neighborhood OF
Trafalgar square brought 1t to light;
and it is interesting to remember that
the first of the series was found under
the site Of the new Admiralty build
ings, since the distance between the
two points is comparatively trifling.
The old legend or tradition that the
metropolis is floating upon vast area
OF water, though long viewed as
popular absurdity, was not entirely
without warrant. And it Is curious,
too, that vague idea of the kind
should survive through the ages. In
these days of tubes" underground
tyamways, and general burrowing in
all directions, everything that lies be-
meath the broad expanse of London
will in course of time be struck by
restless diggers. The lake near Ira
falgar square, it may be added, lies at
a higher level than the river at West
bridge.

DIFFERENT MACHINE GUNS.

The first machine gun of any note
was the Calling. The original Calling
had ten barrels placed in circle,
with breech mechanism SO arranged
that by turning crank these barrels
were successfully fired, the cartridges
being placed in small hopper stu
ated on the top Of the gun.
The Hotchkiss was similar gun,
having similar arrangement of bar
rels, but a totally different mechan-
ism. The Hotchkiss system, however.
was used for larger type of ammu-
milton than the Calling. The French
mitrailleuse had thirty barrels. They
were all loaded at the same time and
all fired simultaneously. The recoil
was SO great that 1t had to be mount
ed In the same manner as a fieldpiece,
on a heavy carriage, requiring six
horses. The apparatus was clumsy.
difficult to operate, and had a COM
paratively slow rate of fire.
The Nordenfeldt gun consists of a
series o.. barrels arranged side by
side, like organ &.nres. The Norden-
field gun generally has FIVE barrels.
and the mechanism is worked by q
lever, the cartridges falling down
from a hopper on the top of the arm
into position, where the mechanism
thrusts them into the barrel, fires
them and extracts the empty case.
This gun is of great simplicity, and
for time went into extensive use.-

Bottle for a Rain Gauge.

Any boy can make rain gauge and
measure the amount Of rainfall for
himself.
The simplest form Of gauge con-
sists of funnel with a definite area,
say, IL inches, the neck Of which fits
in bottle. The rain that falls into
the funnel runs down into tfe bottle,
Of course, and the quantity is meas
ured by means Of graduated glass.
Any boy can measure the rainfall
for himself. Having provided the fun
mel and the bottle-the metal cylin-
der outside is not essential-let him
fit them as described, and then put
them in a level, open place, away
from trees and buildings, with the
mouth Of the funnel about foot from
the ground. The bottle should be
fastened in position, to avoid being
overturned by the wind. and should
rest perfectly level.

Of the others. But the pieces always
do their best to find each other and
come together again.
A worms working year lasts only
about six months, because it cannot
burrow through the earth while the
ground Is frozen.
In these six months the worms will
turn over an average of ten tons Of
soil to an acre. Think of that!
Stones, twigs, leaves and shells will
be thoroughly chewed up and mixed
with it.
Then the larger worms do still
more. They burrow down to great
er depth than the smaller worms, and
dig canals for the rain and moisture
to flow through down to the roots Of
the plants and trees.
So, altogether, you see. boys and
girls. the worms are our good friends,
helping to make the earth green and
beautiful and productive for our bene-
fit.

LOSS FROM TYPHOID.

The Michigan physician who puts
the annual money loss to the United
States from typhoid fever at $50,00O.-
900 is far from setting forth the full
truth. He reaches his estimate by
assuming $1,000 as the average value
of the lives sacrificed and he omits
all account Of the money spent in the
care of non-fatal cases. The real val
ue of the lives lost-so far as such
value can be expressed In money
might more properly be rated at S.
900, and at least 500 on the average
must be spent on victims who re-
cover. On this calculation, assuming
that the Michigan physician is correct
in his number Of cases, the annual
loss to the country from typhoid is
nearly 100000, OO0.-Providence Jour

ACCIDENTS ON THE RAILWAYS.

Granting that there is a greater
mileage Of railroad in this country.
the proportionate travel is probably
greater in England than here. What,
then. is the explanation of the fewer
fatal accidents, or, rather, the almost
total lack of accidents in that coun-
try as compared with the frightful
mortality on our American roads? The
exact solution is probably not easy,
but the most natural explanation
that will come to the mind is that the
British roads are better managed and
that they are held to much stricter
accountability by the authorities. An
other reason also is the total absence
Of all grade crossings in England and
the universal employment of the best
Of safety devices and signals, the
block system being practically uni
versal.-New Orleans Picayune.

They have, however, a wonderful
sense of touch. They can hardly smell
at all, and are quite deaf. They
breathe through their skins, having
no lungs.
They can crawl backward and for.
