JAPANEsR LOSSES.

The Japanese reports of losses in the battle of Liao- Yang cannot be com pared with the St Petersburg reports of Russian losses unless it is known how many days of the fighting are irl- cluded The St Petersburg reports thus far given out, and they are tentative, profess to cover 10 days fighting;
 whether the Japanese reports cover the same period is not known. If the estimate of total Japanese casualties given out through the Japanese Lega- tion at Washington embraces 10 days of the. battle, then there are people who will be disposed to doubt the ac- curacy of the report, and this doubt may run so far as to question the de- sire of the Japanese Government to publish a full and correct estimate of losses. In view of the fact that the Russians held strong defensive posi- tions in the great battle, that their artillery was effective and we'll served, and that the Japanese infantry assaul- ted again and again in the face of a terrible fire, it is altogether improbable that the Japanese Army could have emerged from the struggles with no greater losses than the Russians The Japanese, it must be recalled, have from the beginning been secretive re- garding their losses in battle. They have given out no information at all as to their casualties in the repeated as- saults upon the stronghold at Port Arthur, although there is no possible doubt that they have lost many men there. Their military policy involves, as it is now well known, a sacrifice of life such as Western people are no longer accustomed to. The very attitude of the average Japanese soldier toward death renders such policy possible It may easily be that the Japanese Gov |erment, realizing the difference between Occidental an Oriental standards re- garding human life, has deliberately followed the policy of suppressing the facts or modifying them for Western consumption.

scIENTIFIc PRoPHECIEs.

Cyrano and Gulliver write about storing sun heat purged of light or sunlight purged of heat, dreams which recent discoveries of phosphorescent substances like uranium, polonium and radium may yet realize, and Gulliver watches men freezing air, which makes me think he must have been present in the Royal Institution Laboratory in 1894 and 1895, when this feat was accomplished by Professor Dewar.; Indeed, Gullivers powers of prediction are positively uncanny. For centuries, poets had sung of ''mooniess
 Mars. It was the only big planet which had no moon.. Gulliver provid- led him with two moons. Why? I am not sure But perhaps he argued thus: tThe earth has one moon, Jupiter four, and Saturn a ring of |innumerable moons. The universe is generally symmetrical; so I will credit Mars (which comes between the earth than Jupiter) with two moons' We'll might men laugh at such childish pre- judices in favor of symmetry, but they laugh best who laughs last. Further he argued, or may have argued, thus: Look at these four planets: (D Earth, CD Mars, (S) Jupiter and (4) Saturn. This is the order in which they occur The moons of the odd num- bers are like one another and unlike those of No. 4. What is more likely than that the moons of the even num- bers are like one another and unlike those of the odd numbers?'' So he made Mars inner moon go round, like Saturn's ring, in ten hours, although that made the day on Mars longer than the month on Mars, an arrangement not only paradoxical but, in the eyes of Laplace and his followers, impossible, and he made the outer moon go round in twenty-one and a half hours. o |sancta simplicitas Why should a man fancy that odd, answers odd, and even even, and that Dame Nature walks like la biped, or even zigzags? Simple, per- haps, but not all simpletons are fools. Finally he knew that the quicker
 moons revolye the nearer they must be, and calculated their distance from Mars by Kepler's Third Law Tn 1877 the scientific world was startled by Profess sor Halls discovery that Mars had two moons, that one goes round him in sev- en and a half hours, making the day longer than the month, and the other in thirty and quarter hours, and that their distances depend on Kepler's Third Law. So Gulliver in pinning his faith to symmetry and what I will ven- ture to call alternate correspondence, was not far out. The only people who were far out were Laplace and his school. Scientific sages were confuted out of the mouths of babes and suck lings. John p. Rogers in the Coynhill Magazine

The Fat Woman Rode on the Old

 The Eighth avenue car was com fortably crowded the other evening. when woman boarded it. She was a stout person with resolute chin, and she sat down as though she intended to remain for the balance of the even ing. The conductor came through call ing "Fares." and she handed him a transfer.

 Ye ain't, either shouted the man. You'll git of"
 You are very impertinent," said the woman T shall report you.

 The car by this time. had reached One Hundred and Thirty third street The woman opened her purse and care fully examined the contents. She fin- gered five pennies lovingly and exam ined the date mark on the transfer. The car passed the One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street signpost. Suddenly she put the coins in the purse and snapped it shut. Then she closed the bag.
 Very we'll she said. I'll get off. Stop the car, please"
 The conductor was too dazed for a minute to pull the bell cord.
 The lady looked out of the window. They were just crossing One Hundred and Thirty-sixth street. Hurry" she said. T said I wanted to get off. There! we've passed One Hundred and Thirty sixth street. Oh, dear, how provoking; you've taken me a block beyond my corner. declare really shall report you this time.
 And then, just as she was alighting, she aimed the final dart: T told you I would ride on that transfer, didn't F" she said. From the New York Times.

 During Dr. Stearn's frequent illness- es and many absences Dr. Bolton has practically acted as superintendent of the retreat doing the work of two men in his uneomplaining, quiet way, till his own strength has been almost ex- hausted and doing it in a way that has won the esteem and affection of all the inmates of the retreat.
 Now that he is to be the head of his own sanatorium, while we cannot but deeply regret our great personal loss, we still trust our loss may De his gain, and that at Fishkill, on the beautiful banks of the Hudson, he will gain re- newed health, while we envy the pa tients who will fill his home there.
 Few men combine with so much med- ical skill so much Kindness and unsel- fish interest in their patients.
 For integrity of character, high breeding, cleverness of mind and pure unselflshness few men can equal pr. James R. Bolton, and we wish in this public manner to tender to him the expression of our heartfelt gratitude for all he has done for us, and our very best wishes for his success in his new field of labor.

The Humble Cadis Net Had Caught
 d Fish.
 Mrs. John Lyon Gardner, of Boston, exhibited some beautiful asters at the recent show of the Massachusetts Horticultural Socity.
 One evening some one narrated to Mrs. Gardner a humorous story of an exhibitor who had tried to bribe the judges of a flower show into giving him all the first prizes. She commented on the story thus:
 The man had probably heard of the Cadi of Bagdad. This cadi had been in his youth fisherman, and, to keep himself in mind of his humble origin, there was always spread upon his din- ner table huge fishing net.
 People admired the cadi for this ex- hibition of humility He was rich and his house was sumptuous But, amid all that elegance, the net, the sign of the mans lowly birth, was always prom inently displayed.
 The story of the net spread through the city, and finally it reached the ears of the caliph He, in due time, sent for the cadi, took him into his favor and made him his grand yizier.
 Thus" said Haraun al Raschir, we reward humility
 From the day of his appointment the grand vizier ceased to exhibit his fishing net. It disappeared, and it was lnever spoken of.
 "Once, though, visitor a man of considerable impotence, said to the yizier:
 ]" Why is it. my lord, that your net is no longer spread upon your table 2
 The vizier smiled and quietly re piled:
 Tt has caught the fish, ]" From Cincinnati Enquirer.
