st. Petersburg, Aug 20.-The gener.

Lieutenant General Sakharoff, dated
Aug. q, which gives the story of the
fighting on Friday in front of Lao
yang from the Russian standpoint, and
describes 1t as u series of attacks by

pulsed. On the a6th this was the case,
but during the night the Russians re-
tired. On the 9th the Japs were driven
back on Tounsinpu All along the
line the Japs were repulsed, although
they were in greatly superior num-

some Of our regimental officers re-

the advanced positions of Tsegow and
Anping our troops retired on the main
position, supported by artillery.
"a turning movement by the enemy
against the left flank OF the Tsegow
position, and the enfilading fire of their
batteries on Khaouiou heights, forced
the Tamboff regiment to retire, and
the retreat was effected in good order.
Six guns were abandoned, but they
were broken and rendered useless. The
Japanese attacked like fanatics and
their losses must have been very great.
Our troops captured considerable

retirement Is Explained.

The understanding was that the
Russians would concentrate heavily in
the morning for an attack of the jap
-anese in that direction. and the, sur.
prise was greater therefore ut the or
der to retire. The explanation is given
that the Tenth corps, especially Gener-
al Herschelmann's division on the ex-
IRENE left, was confronted by great
ly superior force Of japanese. Though
the Russians fought bravely and held
all their positions they had lost an i'm
mense number of officers.
Done for .'stratcgic Reasons"
Most probably the retirement from
the Anshanshan position arose from
the same reason that the whole noun
tain division, ms well as the eastern
troops, retired; apparently not from the
pressure Of the japanese, but for
strategic reasons.

How We Grow.

"What are the proportions of the
ideal human body?" The vexed question
has never been answered cnoclusively.
A c%orollary of it is this: what are
the proportions of the average healthy
man or woman as we find them?" Nor
ever to this has a reply been given.
However, we are approaching it. Sci
entists have made myriads of measure
ments of the stature of man, and some
of them are quoted by Fleet Surgeon
Williams in the annual report on the
health of the navy, just issued.
To begin with, the DO ywhen born
is about half an inch taller than the
girl. This difference is maintained till
near the age of Is, when, in this coun-
try and America, the average girl is
taller and heavier than the boy. This
hating, $ to speak, on the part Of
the male is speedily recovered, and
he again outruns the female in size.
At the period of full development the
mans average height, compared with
the woman's average, is as 16 to Is.
Both men and women maintain their
maximum height till the age Of so
years, when they begin to grow shorter,
until at 80 they have lost three inches.
The reason for this dwindling is at
tributed to the shrinking of the soft
parts between the bones and to the
stoop gradually acquired by old people.

GHICAG0'S HOTTEST DAY
Three Deaths and a Score Of Pros

Chicago, July 1S.-Sunday was the
hottest day Chicago has experienced in
three years, and three deaths and a
score of prostrations. was the result.
The maximum temperature of "a de-
grees beats any record in the weather
bureau since July 81, 1901, when a tenn
perature of 1903 degrees was recorded.
Since then the mercury has not risen
in Chicago, according to the official
reports, above 80 until Sunday.
The heat and sultriness came With
the rising of the sun. At eight O'Clock
it waSS2 degrees, and shortly after
noon the 80 mark had been reached.
From this point the mercury crept
steadily upward, reaching the high
mark of "a at four o'clock, and re-
manned there for over two hours. There
was scarcely any breeze, and the suf-
fering was intense. In the downtown
district the heat was several degrees
greater than the official records show.
At ten o'clock Sunday night the heat
showed little abatement, and the opin-
ion of the weather forecaster was that
no marked decrease would be noted for
a day or two yet.
