After Losing a Scalp.

Recently a girl in New York was
scalped by having her hair caught in a
revolving shaft The ready verdict is
that while she may recover she must
always be sadly disfigured. Perhaps
not.
Several years ago an accident similar,
but worse, deprived a San Francisco
girl of her scalp down to and including
the eyebrows. Doctors employed skin
grating and supplied her with a new
scalp with a luxuriant growth Of hair.
The handmade eyebrows were as deli
cately penciled as the originals. The
new hair was of a different color from
the natural, which had been of a rare
shade difficult to match. The girl was
beautiful before the accident, and she
was beautiful afterward, although
much changed.
While the ordeal through which this
patient had to pass was long and pain.

try it than to go through life either

Cabinet Eligible..

The senate is very much Of a retreat
for former members of the cabinet.
There are no less than three former
secretaries of war. Proctor served UNI
der Harrison twelve years ago, and he
was succeeded by Elkins, who is now
a senator from West Virginia. Alger
was McKinley's first secretary Of war.
Teller was a Republican secretary of the
interior away back In Arthur's time.
There are a number of senator's who
might have been cabinet officers If they
would have consented to ii. Allison has
declined the secretaryship Of the treas
ury at least three times from rs many
different presidents. Aldrich declined
the same position when Mckinley came
in. Chauncey NJ. Depew could have
been secretary of state under Harrison
during the last few months Of the lat
ter's administration after the resigna-
ton Of Blaine. Senator Hoar has been
invited into the cabinet, besides being
invited to be ambassador to Great Brit
ain. John G. Spooner could have been
attorney general under Mckinley, and
Mckinley also asked him to be secre-
tary Of the interior. He also declined

VICE ADMIRAL HElaACd1NO VOdO.
Arthur and further secured his place
az the idol Of the Japanese people, who
think there is no admiral on the seas
go brave as their own Togo.
A great part of Admiral Togo's naval
education was received at the British
Naval college at Greenwich. In 1894,
when the war began between China
and Japan, he was commander Of a
cruiser. Tor valiant service in that
war he was at its conclusion raised
to the rank Of rear admiral. From
that time until his promotion to the
high place he now holds he was in
charge Of one of the mikado's princi-
pal dockyards on the e Of Japan.
Admiral Togo is about ffty-fve
years Of age. He is not Of noble birth,
but is u simple gentleman, one of the
samurai Of the Satsuma clan, from
which spring 50 many Of his fellow
officers.

RUSSIANS MAY SACRIFICE FLEET
TO CRIPPLE JAPs.
NEED OF DECISIVE ACTION
Scheme Elaborated for Concentrating
immense Squadron at Port Ar
thur Under Makaroff.

Paris, April THE Russian naval
plan for retrieving the reverses at
Port Arthur and Chemulpo has been
communicated to one Of the embas-
sizes through official channels having
access to the highest naval authori-
ties at st. Petersburg. The plan is
explained as follows:
Russia recognizes that Japan has
now preponderating naval strength in
the far east. Therefore, it is essential
to reverse the present Japanese pre-
p~onderance. This will be attempted
by two distinct moves.
First, urgent efforts will be made to
have a naval concentration at Port
Arthur, the Baltic, Red Sea and Vlad-
ivostok fleets joining Admiral Maka-
roff's command, If possible, and thus
giving the combined fleets preponder-
ance over Admiral Togo's fleet.
Second, it is ~foreseen that it will
be difficult and probably impossible
to effect this concentration as Ad-
miral Togo may intercept the Baltic
fleet before it's arrival at Port Arthur.
In that event the Baltic fleet, which
is comparatively small, will attempt
the perilous task OF engaging the large
Japanese fleet, in the hope OF dis
abling some Of the Japanese ships
and thus rendering the Japanese eff
fectiveness less formidable. Accord
ing to Russian calculations the Baltic
fleet may suffer humiliation in such
an unequal combat, but it will have
served available end if it is able to
disable a sufficient number of Japa
nese ships to reduce Admiral Togo'i
fleet below that of Admiral Makarof
The foregoing is mot speculative re
port, but comes from creditable Off
cial sources, as being the determined
Russian plan. The Russian embassy
at Washington will receive similar in
formation shortly.

Cold and Maxim Guns.

The British expedition into Tibet net
with some unexpected problems due to
the intense cold, says the New York
Globe. The Maxim guns and the rifles
Of the infantry were the cause Of con
siderable trouble. The water jackets
of the Maxims became source Of dan
ger as they froze tight. To prevent
this a mixture of one-quarter rum and
quarters water, with enough ker-
osene to make 1t undrinkable, was
used. This was failure, and the final
mixture decided on was half and half
rum and water. The oil in the locks
Of the rifles and Maxims clogged and
caused endless misfring. The only
way in which this could be overcome
was to have the men carry the locks
Of the Maxims inside their clothes and
to take their rifles to bed with them on
very cold nights.
