LONDON, Dec. 15.-The Japanese
legation has received the following
cablegram from Tokyo:
"The commander Of the Japanese ma
val artillery forces before Port Arthur
reports that the bombardment is now
principally aimed at the arsenal and tor
pedo depot at the Tiger Tail forts and
at steamboats, In it's vicinity. The tor
pedo depot was ablaze in an hour aft
err the firing started. Three ships have
been destroyed, and one was sunk and
buildings greatly damaged by the
shells. Indirect bombardment upon
the b~attleship Sevastopol at anchor out
side of the harbor was suspended ow-
ing to bad weather. which prevented
correct observations. Admiral Togo
reports that the torpedo boat fotilla
had attacked the Sevastopol on the
night of the 18th and thrice on the
hight of the 18th. Each time they
met the enemy's fierce fire, and one
Japanese torpedo boat was disabled,
but was towed back, while three de-
stroy"rs received one shot each. The

three men wounded.
The ~Sevastopol continues to anchor
outside of the harbor during the day,
possibly returning at night. She III
chors usually inside the outer boom,
which protects her against torpedo at
tacks: The whereabout of the Rus
sian torpedo boat destroyers continued
to be doubtful, and it is thought they
have taken shelter outside the har-
bor."
Advices from the Russian h%eadquar-
tiers at Mukden say that during the lull
in serious fighting the soldiers enjoy
engaging in daring feats and exploits.
Several volunteers went to a wooded
knoll guarded with wire entanglements,
which the japanese usually occupy in
the daytime, and cut down wood and
carried it to the Russian positions.
Frequently volunteers creep up to the
Japanese lines and carry off a hundred
feet or more of barbed wire,
The dugouts along the front, which
in reality are underground barracks,
are splendidly constructed and are
even furnished with bathrooms. Gen
eral Linevitch is beloved Of all the ar
my on account of his constant solicit
tude for the welfare of the men.
Whenever he finds a soldier without
warm clothing he insists upon an In
vestigation on the spot. He is a great
believer in the Siberian troops, whom
he considers superior to Europeans.
The stories printed abroad p~icturing
the army as cold and hungry are with
out foundation. Food is abundant and
of excellent quality.
Late news received from Port Ar
thur declares that the situation there
is by no means as desperate as it is
represented by foreign dispatches. The
line of main defense forts is unbroken,
and there is plenty Of ammunition and
food.

GROWTH OF INSANITY.
and Experts Demand Change.

What change can be made in city life to stop its enormous production of in- sanity, yearly increasing?
 Here is question which Is yet to be solved, says the New York World. The medical fraternity is at loss for gen. eral remedy; puzzled to find means of overcoming the baneful effects of a city's activity on the general medical condition.
 London produces 70 lunatics week and New York is almost as bad, and It's increase is greater proporionately. Ex- perts say that if it were not for the fact that nature steps in and generally re- fuses to grant children after the fourth or fifth generation conditions would be far worse than they are.
 "The outlook for the future is not bright according to medical opinion, un- less the minds of the city people are bet ter able within the next few generations to adjust themselves to their progressive complicated environment, unless ball. ancing interests and mental habits are developed to overcome the unnatural nervous tension of city life
 So complicated is the environment of those who live In great towns, so many and so varied are the calls upon the self control and upon their effort-mak- ing powers, that their mental machin- cry is apt to become more complex, its parts require more construction and ad- justment, and the whole machine is more apt to get out of gear and to suffer derangement than in the more primi- tive and less emotional life of even half a century ago. It Is not overwork that is the determining cause of the disturb ance or mental equilibrium, but carking care, worry and anxiety.
 To the rich insanity is brought by in- diligence in sensuous luxuries. To the poor, who are at the mercy of every economic crisis, whose financial circum- stances spell indifferent nutrition, over crowding and immoral surroundings, the condition of modern life bring de- pression and despair. The natural re- suit Is that they attempt to drown their sorrows in the flowing bowl. Alcohol Is the cause of one-fifth of the insanity in males and of more than half of that in the weaker sex.

REMARKABLE WEAPON.
Used by the Indian sharp shooters of Guiana Nicely
 Constructed.

There are two kinds of blowpipes in use among the Indians of Guiana. The first, called the poocoona, is made or the oorah reed. This remarkable reed is found in the Orinoco river only, and then only at certain spots. The oorah grows to a height of at least 30 feet, and the basal joint, of which the blowpipe is made, is IA or ID feet long, straight as an arrow and without a knot, says Longman's S Magazine.
 The inside of the reed is as smooth as glass, hence the facility with which the dart traverses it. Very little ot the reed is cut away, so that the pipe is about 12 feet long, and is so strong that when held horizontally there is not the least bend in it.
 The reed, having been carefully se- lected, cut and prepared, is inclosed in small, thin palm trunk, which is split open for the purpose scraped thin as wafer, and then rejoined with the reed in the center This palm, for length, straightness and lightness, is as remarkable as the reed. The whole pipe, when finished, never weighs more than 1h or 1A pounds. Both the mouth, or muzzle, and the breech are bell mouthed, the bell pieces being fixed on.
 There are front and back sights, the latter fo-2cG Of ,..-e curved teeth of the dag-nrocta 3 aeoucti, 2 species of rodent somewhat larger in size than a wild rabbit. Two of the insicors of this animal are fixed on the breech of the pipe by means of wax. The teeth being placed parallel to each other and very close together, the sight is taken between them. Sometimes the fore sight is made in the same way, but it more often consists of the single sharp tooth of a fish. It is placed about a foot back from the muzzle, the back sight being affixed four feet along the tube, so that it-is considerable dis tance from the eye when aiming.
 The missile used with this tube is misnamed an arrow. It is really a dart, scarcely larger than a large darning needle, and with point quite as fine. The dart is made of the rib of the coocooreete palm leaf, and is so heavy that it will sink in water. It is about seven inches in length, not thicker than large needle, and the usual number that an Indian carries with him when shooting is from $50 to 800, ready poisoned, but not pre- pared with the necessary cotton plugs.
 These darts are strung together something like the reeds on which soft cheeses are placed, and then rolled on stick and carried in a quiver, points upmost, it being requisite to protect them from every chance of being broken or dulled. To protect the hand when handling them the top of the stick is furnished with small, wheel-like shield.
 The fine points are given to the darts by means of the teeth of the devilfish (serrasalmus pivava), and the cotton with which they are plugged before use is found growing wild. It is bound to the base of dart with thread made of silk grass; this thread, with wax obtained from several trees, being largely used also in making the blOwpiDe

cANNIBALs SPARED HIS LIFE.

A missionary of a verYeadventuroua
disposition was given an exceedingly
difficult post ON one of the FIJI Is
lands Heswas. instructed to limit him
self to one island and not attempt to
extend his supremacy, as he would
probably become the star feature of a
cannibaI pate de foie gras or some
thing worse The missionary obeyed
instructions for awhile, but his zeal
for conquest overcame his prudence.
He started off in little boat and wen>
to another island on a tour of inspec-
ton. He reached the island, but be-
fore he knew what he was about he
was in the hands of the cannibals.
Luckily, he had just recovered from
an attack of fever, and was thin and
emaciated. The shrewd cannibals de-
clined to kill him Immediately, but
gave him the best they had to eat to
fatten him UP for the festive coca
sion. Days passed by until he reached
the stage of perfection, and the chief
announced that he must prepare him
self Now the missionary was race
diplomat, and he started to argue the
question.
DO you know" he said to the chief,
that l do not believe you Will like me
after you have killed me. I propose
that you taste me, and try me, and II
you like me, then kill me. Il you don't
like me, it will be great waste %
kill me-
The chief acquiesced, and lie mig
sionary rolled UP his trousers leg 10
prepare for the knife. The chief carved
off a generous slice and immediately
put it into his mouth. He made a WY
face and passed the remainder of the
morsel along to his headman. This
continued on down the line, and all
made gestures Of disgust when they
tasted the food. The chief then nod
ded sorrowfully to the young mission
airy and told him that his life was
saved, as he was too poor to eat.
The missionary had a cork leg.-Bos-
