WAR NOTES.

In the several engagements OF last
week the Japs were generally success
full; driving the Russians from their
positions near Haicheng, and advanc-
ing their own lines toward Lao Yang.
the railroad town that has been the base
OF the Russians for some time.
The last reported engagement was at
Au-shan-chan. from ten to twenty
miles north Of Haicheng, which was
evacuated by the Russians.
At the end of the week one division
Of Kuroki's army was threatening Muk-
den and another Liao Yang, while the
third seemed to have joined the armies
OF Nodzu and Oku, near Hal Cheng.
The Russians were retreating and
concentrating fighting for time and
reinforcements but the climax was ex-
pected to come any day.
Kuropatkin's army is said to number
about 125, 900 men, while the different
Jap armies contain nearly double that
number, and besides this one division
Of KurokIs army was said to be in po-
sition to interfere with the retreat of
the Russians should they attempt to
change their base to Mukden or Har-
bin.
Field artillery is playing very i'm
portant part in this war. each army has
about 800 pieces but the Japs are the
best marksmen.
A Jap army is said to have landed uI
the Liao river, to the west of the Rus
sian position, and il Kuroki has headed
them of to the north, as reported, then
Kuropatkin must risk all in general
engagement, for he is practically sur
rounded.
On Monday general advance of all
the Jap armies was reported, the inten
tion being to attack all the Russian po-
sitions from Liao Yang to Mukden
simultaneously; and on Tuesday the
Russians were again reported as retreat
ing to Mukden, to cave themselves from
Kuroki's fianking movement.
At Port Arthur, the Japs. according
to reports from Toxic had penetrated
to the third line Of the Russian defense
but Yesterdays papers reported anothe
repulse for them, Monday night.
The prize court at Vladivostok. aftei
due investigation, finds that the British
steamship Knight Commander, whicl
was sunk by Russian cruisers, was ,
lawful prize, her cargo being who'll.
contraband. The cargo consisted chief
ly of railway materials, whic b the yes

Hailstones.

The tremendous downfall Of what are
called hailstones across the northern
part of the county, last Saturday even
ing, and the reported size of some OF
them-walnuts and hen-eggs-makes one
wonder how they are formed. The
theory Of the forma tion of the ordinary
hailstone, or small ball of snow, is that
q cloud or mass of vapor rises into what
is called the snow region of the atmos.
phere and is there suddenly congealed
and falls to the earth; but when the
stones are cas- large as walnuts' and
comprised of solid ice, that theory viii
not do, and the other one is that the
falling rain drops are caught in the
gyrations Of a cyclone. carried up into
the freezing zone and frozen into hail,
then dropped into the rain belt or zone,
and then back again-the alternate
freezing and dropping causing them to
receive additional coats of ice, and thus
enlarge until they are thrown outside
the gyrations of the cyclone and fall
to the earth.
All this is guess work. however, and
Is on the par with our theories regarding
earthquakes and other things, about
which we really know nothing.
