Russ and Japs Both Suffer From
 Weather.
 Mukden, Dec. 9.-(Delayed via Pe- kin, Dec. 19.)-A correspondent of the Associated Press has toured the entire Russian front. traversing nearly 100 miles along and around the frost-cover- ed burrows of the soldiers from the Hun to the Shakhe rivers.
 At all times there has been a demon strative but irrational connonading along the centre, where owing to the proximity of the lines the corps conn manders while inspecting the positions have frequently been recognized and fired at with shells.
 On the extreme right and left Hanks the lines are separated by from five to eight miles and across, these spaces both sides occasionally march battal- lions. reconnoitering and making de- monstrative attacks during which each side has taken prisoners. The object of both Russian and Japanese in these operations is the same. namely. to pre- vent the molestation of the winter cantonments.
 The positions of both Russians and Japanese are similar to those held by them before the battle of Liaoyang and therefore the spring campaign will find the two enemies in the same relation as at Liaoyang.
 General Rennenkampff's area be- yond Da ass is of great pict- uresaueness and owing to the extreme weather conditions 1t is now considered as being inaccessible to the Japanese.
 The feet of a number of Japanese infantrymen taken by the Russians were frozen and their clothing was ina dequate but it said that General Kuro- Xxi has now replaced his infantry with mounted troops who are warmly clad.

Dec, 19.-Although accustom- ed to hearing of acts of bravery on the part of their soldiers and sailors, the people of Japan have been thrilled by the details of the series of desperate torpedo attacks against the Russian battleship Sevastopol and other craft driven outside tine harbor of Port Ar thur by the fire of the Japanese land batteries.
 Commander Yezoe and Lieutenant Nakahara are the heroes of these att tacks. and the former promises to get in equal prominence with Commander Hiroz. who, on March 27 last. was blown to fragments in Vice-Admiral Togo's second attempt to bottle up Port Arthur, in the war traditions of Japan
 Commander Yezoe's fiotilla of torpedo boats was undergoing repairs when the attacks were planned, but he succeed ed in putting one of his vessels into condition for a fight. On this vessel he promptly steamed to the rendezvous and finding that tue other fiotilla had gone. begged and gained permission to Join in the attacks. Then he steam ed through the srowstorm alone and succeeded in locating the Sevastopob to which he was able to get close

HOW ENGLAND FIXES RAILWAY RATES

The two lay Commissioners are ap- pointed by the President of the Board of Trade One Is a railroad man, the other is business man.
 All complaints are made to the Rail- way. and Canal Commission. Any local or municipal governing or sanitary au- thority, any Chamber of Commerce or Trade. any trading or foreign associa- ton. or any other body or association which can get a certificate from the Board Of Trade that it is a responsible organization. may file complaints, but the Board of Trade may require an or- ganization to give security for costs.
 From the decision of the Railway and Canal Commission on any point of law an appeal may be taken to the Court or Appeals and by leave to the House Of Lords. Other courts of law or equity are forbidden to restrain the commis- sion by writs of prohibition or cer- tiorari
 Complaints upon which the commits sion will pass include allegations of violations of the charter or special acts by railroad, the legality of rates, complaints of undue preference. unrea- sonable charges. oppressive treatment or unfair discrimination.
 The commission may award damages
 
 complainant for his losses before the commission has remedied his grievance Such matters as changing crossings above or below grade and building bridges over the tracks are within the jurisdiction of the commission.
 Every railway company must submit its rates to the Board of Trade. The Board of Trade advertises for objec- tions. In case there are none. the rates are submitted to Parliament and adopt ed as a matter of course. If there are objections, the Board of Trade tries to bring about an agreement If it suc- ceeds. the rates as agreed upon are sub mitted to Parliament and adopted. If the Board is not able to bring about an agreement 1t submits to Parliament recommendations. which are sent to a This committee, after hearings. makes a report to Parlia- ment. which Is almost always adopted. The Parliamentary joint committees really fix the rates.
 The law provides that proof of in- equality in rates puts the burden on the railroad company of showing that the inequality does not constitute undue prfeerence. The law includes steam ship lines owned or controlled by Eng fish railways and requires that terminal charges shall be separately stated.

THE ENGLISH woMANs DRESS.
A Mans Exceptions to American We

A Mans Exceptions to American We
 meas Opinions. W. D. Howells, in Harpers Magazine.
 Under correction of those country-wo- men of ours who will not allow that the Englishwomen know how to dress, will venture to say that their express sion of sentiment in dress is charm ing, but how charming 1t comparative ly Is shall be far from saying. I will only make so bold as to. affirm that 1t seems more adapted to the slender fuency of youth than some realizations of the American ideal; and rhododendrons in the park there is nothing in nature more sug- gestive of girlish sweetness and love- Illness than the costumes In which the weavers flow by the fowery expanse in carriage or on foot. The colors worn are often as courageous as the vegetable tints. the dimming air soft ems and subdues crimsons and yellows that I am told would shriek aloud in our arid atmosphere; but mostly the shades worn tend to soft pallors. law en6er and pink. and creamy white. A group of girlish shapes in these hues. seen newly lighted at doorway from passing carriage. gave as they press ed eagerly forward a supreme effect of that sentiment in English dress which hope I am not recreant in liking. Oc- casionally, also. there was scarf. lightly caught, which. with an endear- ing sash renewed for a fieeting mo- ment bygone age of Sensibility, as we find 1t recorded in many graceful page. on many a glowing canvas.
 Their beauty Is very, very great. not a beauty of coloring alone. but a beau ty of feature which is able to be patri- clan without being unkind; and if, as some American women would say, they do not carry themselves well, 1t takes an American woman to see It.

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY

 FISH.
The Marine TelescOpe-Passtng of LOn- don FOg-Heights of Shooting Stars-Temperfng Copper Tenuous Matter-Oral Mes-
 sages by Mail.

The Hydroscope of Cavalier Giuseppe Pino has brought a sensation of sur prise that so much of the oceans se- crets should be revealed with such sim pie means. The apparatus Is kind of telescope for peering into the water and it consistsof an extensible steei tube, with a complex system of twelve lenses at the bottom, and an arrange ment of internal mirrors for reflecting the submarine views upward to an ob- serving chamber at the top. A very clear picture of the sea bottom is pro- duced. The water is better lighted up than is generally supposed and newspaper on the sand at depth of 360 feet has been read by ordinary day light. When the lenses are set in ships bottom, a mine. rock or other ob- ject can be seen in the water at dis tance of 50 to 90 feet. With the yer tica1 floating tube and a special hoist ing equipment. Spanish galleon sunk ia 1702 was raised though 1t afterward crumbled away and was lost, and old boilers have been recovered.
 With only 26 foggy days In 1903, Lonr doners are flattering themselves that their atmosphere is improving. Look ing at the records for the last B years, F. J. Brodie finds an annual average of
 
 only 10 in summer. The greatest num- be- was SC in 1886, and the least was Is in 1sOO Dividing the 33 years into three equal periods. the first II years show an average of 55 fog days, the second of e9. the third of only Al.
 The heights of many meteors have been measured by W. F. Denning, the English astronomer. It appears that the swift meteors become visible at an average height of s4 miles and disap- pear at 56 miles. while the very slow meteors come in sight at about 65 miles and fade away at 3S miles. Of the very slow metears those that be- come visible at the greatest heights come 20 miles nearer the earth than these of very low radiant.
 The ether of space if the new theory of Prof. Mendeleeff be true. is matter resembling argon and helium in having no power of chemical combination. and it must be remarkable for extremely low density and great rapidity of molecular motion. In order that the ether may escape from the sphere of attraction of stars fifty times as great as the mass of the sun. it must have an 000.053. -oauh0 adcrte oaodu vso n atomic weight not more than 900 .000,- O00,053. This extreme lightness ex- plains why it is not likely to be iso- lrted. and why 1t penetrates all sub stances.
 The new idea of a postal photograph

A developed at Vienna. a penny-in-the- slot machine Is to supply a thin gramo- phone disc, made into a record of the senders message as spoken by him in tn the machine, and this record Is mail cd as a postal card. Being of tough material. Is sustains no injury. A small photograph. to cost but a few shillings Is to be manufactured to en- able the receiver to reproduce the mes sage of the disc.
