Agent of Foreign Power Makes
Russia an Offer.

New York Feb. 19.-An agent of one
of the foreign powers has offered to
supply Russia with a small battlesh1p,
constructed in 1890, two cruisers and
two torpedo catchers, says Herald dis
patch from st. Petersburg. Much nys-
terry is thrown about the matter and
Russia is said to hesitate about closing
the deal because the ships are out OF
date.
Whether with the authority of his
government or not, the agent backs his
offer by saying that if it is not accepted
the ships will be sold to the Japanese.
Two hundred and fifty picked ship
wrights have been taken from the
Baltic works here to go to Port Arthur
to do all that is possible to repair the
ships there. The great difficulty, how
ever, is that unlike Vladivostock, Port
Arthur has no dry dock capable Of
holding big ships of war.
The loss of the transport Manchuria
will be keenly felt, for the vessel is said
to have on board 100 quick firing guns
as well as large supplies of dynamite
and ammunition.

THE land batteries were under the
general direction of Major General
BaIoff, commander of the Kwan-Tung
garrison of artillery. 1t is still difficult
to ascertain the result of the battle but
according to observations made by our
ships it may be assumed that several
vessels of the enemy's fleet sustained
damage which explains why they
avoided further fighting, although they
were much superior to us in strength.
According to the reports of the COM

well, on which account, in virtue of
imperial authorization, I have confer

THE WILD BIRD.

When the Naturalist Gets n Chance
to study Him mt Close Range.
For the greater part of the year fear
Is the dominant instinct in the life OF
nearly every wild bird or mammal
which has to contend with man or
overt enemies Of any kind. But with
the periodic revival of the reproductive
functions profound changes occur not
only in the bodily parts, but in the in
stincts which govern their movements
and life. The parental instincts, which
are essential to the generation and
successful rearing of the young, begin
to assert themselves and by blocking
or supplanting the sense of fear hold
them to the focal point-the nest and
later the young-during the period
when parental care and even parental
sacrifice is necessary.
This wonderful parental instinct, or
series of instincts, rises gradually like
q fever, reaches a maximum and then
as slowly subsidies. When at its height
every sense seems 10 be lost in an all
absorbing passion This is the time to
approach the wild bird. We can watch
and record with pencil and camera ev-
cry act which occurs at the nest. We
can approach as near as we please and
by aid of the tent are enabled to ana
lyZe in detail the behavior of the same
birds for period of from one TO three
weeis.-Professor Francis Ii. Herrick

Fifteen thousand pilgrims annually
visit St Baume, in Provence. not far
from Marseiles, where Mary Magda-
lene is said to have spent the last thir-
ty years OF her life.
The legend, according to the Nouvelle
Revue, runs that Mary Magdalene came
from Judpa In a small boat with Laza
rus, Martha, the two Marys and Sa
lone, bringing with them the body Of
ST. Anne, the head of st James the
Less and few wee bones Of the inno-
cents massacred by King Herod. But
from early ages this story has been dis
puted, and the Able Duchesne, one Of
the most erudite writers on the early
Christian saints and martyrs consid-
ers that the relies Of Mary MagdeleDe
were probably sent from Constantine
pie about the seventh century. A
Greek breviary, however, speaks Of the
saint as having died at Ephesus.

Courage of n Horse.

Horses painfully contend on the race
track for victory out Of their own ma
tive courage and ambition-not under
punishment. for, as rule. the coura-
geous horse will stop or shut up as
the technical phrase is, when whipped
or spurred at the finish of a race. In
California some years ago a running
horse broke one of the bones in fore
beg near the close Of a heat, perhaps
seventy yards from the wire He
faltered for a moment and then, re-
covering himself by mighty effort,
struggled on and won the heat prac-
tically on three legs.-Country Life In
