CHINESE PROVERBS.

II there be no faith in our words, Of
what use are they?
Honor comes by diligence; riches
spring from economy.
Modesty is attended with profit; ar
rogance brings on destruction.
Time flies like an arrow, days and
months like a weaver's shuttle.
Doubt and distraction are on earth:
the brightness of truth in heaven.
He who can suppress a moments an
ger may prevent many days of sorrow.
The generations of men follow each
other like the wave Of a swollen river

the surface, at times escapes through
the hard crust by vents or volcanoes.
There are from 300 to 800 volcanoes
on the globe. This estimate includes
merely live volcanoes which within re-
cent times have been in action. Ii we
should count the many mountains scat

signs of volcanic action In more re-
mote past, the estimate would have to
be increased by many hundreds.
Volcanoes would seem to be arranged
with more or less symmetry In belts
circling the great oceans. A ring or

the South Shetland islands, several
hundred miles south of Cape Horn, a
belt of volcanoes extends up the west

Sen Level.

Sea level is a level only in the imagi-
nation. For instance, the water in the
bay of Bengal is 300 feet higher than
the surface of the Indian ocean, and
along the Pacific coast of South Amer
lea the sea is often 200 feet higher than
its lowest surface. The differences re-
suit from the attractive power of great
mountain ranges.

FIRED ON MERCHANT MEN.
Two Chinese Killed by Russians at NewchwanR.

Newchwang, April u.-An official ex- pianation was issued today of the firing of guns from the forts here last night. which caused a certain amount of ex- citement and the killing of two Chinese.
 It appears from the official statement that owing to the Sact that the officers of the garrison did not understand the customs flash signals in use at the mouth of the river. for the purpose of signal ling the depth of the water on the bar. so as to enable ships to put to sea, fire was opened last night at some pilot boats and outward bound merchantmen.
 These vessels were sighted by the forts some time after midnight, and at l2:3o the artillery opened fire on the vessels. twen- ty-four shots being fired, including pro- jectiles from large guns. The effect of the fire had not been reported up to noon today, but the firing caused excitement among the troops, during which sentry fired on two Chinese Sampan men, oppo- site the foreign settlement and three miles from the forts. The Chinese had become alarmed at the firing and were endeavoring to cross the river.
 In view of the reports received here of Japanese activity in Korea and Of the arrival of Japanese troops on the Yalu river, 1t is understood the troops of the garrison had been fully warned that it was possible the Japanese would make an attack on this place, and the citizens on hearing the firing naturally supposed the attack was being made last night.

Imposing Ceremony When Plus K. Says Mass in Celebration of the Anniversary of St.
 Gregory the Great

Rome, April 11-For the first time since his coronation, August 9, 1903, the Pope went this morning to St. Peters to say
 mass in celebration of the thirteenth centennial of St, Gregory the Great who died 604 A. D.
 The immense basilica of St. Peter's was filled, more than 10000 persons being present The Pope was in the best of health. He appeared in the Sedia Cas- tatoria, although the motion of this chair, carried on the shoulders of bearers, makes him i'll.
 On his express recommendation the au- d,ence refrained from applause or crying out. contenting themselves with the wav- ine of handkerchiefs.
 The inside of St. Peters offered. as usual, a grand sight. which once seen Is never forgotten. There were only three tribunes, for members of the aristoc- racy, diplomatic corps and royal fami- lies respectively. There was also spe- ciai reserve in the place for the Pope's family, which was occupied by his three sisters.
 The sistine choir. directed by Abbe Perosi, who together with Maestro Bella, has been its organiser and instructor for today's Gregorian chant, had a special box near the throne. while grouped around lI WeT0 LWolfO huhofOo. J0uNhS, of practically every nationality, race and color, belonging to the ecclesiastical col- le9es at Rome. The Benedictine monks, who formed the choir. were also located here.
 The arrival of Pope Plus was heraided by a blare of silver trumpets. Although tho procession was gorgeous as ever, the bright red of the cardinals gowns, ming ling with the brown of the monks robes and the wtdte gowns of the choir. the benignant figure of the Pope under the gorgeous canopy. the picturesque ostrich fans and the glittering helmets of the guards, it's reception seeemed cold after frantic applause permitted by Pope Leo. This, however, heightened the effect of the choir, which greeted him with music a5 he came in.
 After a brief halt in the chapel of the sacrament the Pope proceeded to the throne. The triple crown was placed or his head by Cardinal Macchi Im- mediately after the crowning the pontn celebrated mass to the accompaniment oi the Gregorian chant, which echoed sclemnly throughout the vast basilica.

WOOD WILL WAGE WAR.
Sultan Taraca Prefers Conflict to
 Peace.

9hCSs
 Washington, April 1.-The following bulletin was posted at the War Depart ment today:
 General Wood reports that he invited Sultan Taraca to meet him at Wears on March s1 for consultation. and that the Sultan refused to come, but instead made extensive hostile preparations. Marching columns from Marshut and Wears left on the End of April to assem- ble the cavalry. The Wears column was fired into ten miles from Wears and one enlisted man was seriously wounded. The Marshut column was strongly resisted at the mouth of the Taraca River. although every effort was made to accomplish a peaceful landing, two enlisted men being seriously wounded.
 The combined force assembled in the valley on the 4th of April and a large number of the enemy's fortified cottages were destroyed. The troops then re- turned to their proper stations. New combs. Company K, 17th infantry, and were killed. Every effort was made to bring the Moros to terms peacefully, but in each instance our troops were attack ed before firing a shot and force was only used when all peaceful methods failed and the enemy attacked us.
 The two chiefs who have been at the bottom of all the trouble on the east side of Lader are now in hiding, and they will be arrested if possible. General Wade, to whom General Woods report was made. transmitted it to the depart- ments, adds that the condition of the Tarhca valley for the last three months has been such as to render the above action absolutely necessary.
