SHANGHAI INCIDENT.
TWO AMERICANS PROMINENT IN ITS
SOLUTION.

Consul General John GOOdnow and
Rear Admiral Yates Stirling Infiu-
entail In Bringing About Peace
full Settlement - The Neutrality
Question.
Two Americans have enhanced repu-
tations as a result of the peaceful end
ing of the international incident at
Shanghai. They are John Goodnow.
consul general at Shanghai, and Yates
Stirling. rear admiral in command of
the Asiatic squadron of the United
States, which, most opportunely, was
stationed off the Chinese coast when
the Russian war vessels Askold and
Grozovoi put into the harbor of ShanG
hal after the disastrous sortie of the
Port Arthur fleet, to which they belong
ed. Especial credit belongs to Consul
General GoodnOw because as the dean
Of the consular corps at Shanghai the
chief responsibility for effecting a
peaceful solution of the difficulties that
arose fell upon his shoulders. An i'm
prudent course in this emergency by
the American consul general or rash
action by the American admiral might
easily have led to international compli
cations.
The cruiser Askold and the torpedo
boatdestroyer Grozovoiwe badly Grip
pied in the conflict with Admiral Togos
fleet on Aug. 10, and their course il
escaping further injury by putting into
a neutral port like that of Shanghai
was naturally veXatious to the Japa-
nese. The latter, on the other hand,
were considered premature in sending
an armed vessel into the harbOr OF
Shanghai in pursuit of the Askold and
Grozovoi before the expiration of the
time limit of twenty-fOur hours In
which, according to international rules
on the subject, a war vessel may re-
main in a neutral port without dis
mantling. BY a singular coincidence
the American destroyer Chauncey hap
pened into the harbor of Shanghai and
anchored near the dock where repairs
were being made to the Askold Just as
the Japanese vessel arrived on the
scene. The suggestion was at first
made that the visit of the Chauncey
was in connection with preserving the
peace in the port, but it was later
stated that her mission was simply the
delivery of dispatches. The insstence

Dor or to disarm. the vacillaton of the

TRIP TO TIE MOON.

9nIRe of the Odd Things One Might
Find on Such n Voyage.
How would you like to take trip to
the moon? 1t would be long journey,
taking more than six months if you
went with the speed of an express
train; or if you Travelled with the swift
ness of a ball from a modern cannon,
it would take about as long as a trip
across the Atlantic in a fast steamer.
Under average atmospheric conditions
large telescope gives us view of
the moon as it would be without the
telescope at a distance of 500 miles
from us.
The necessary outfit for the journey
must be much more extensive than for
any trip on the earth, even the trip to
the north pole. There will be no chance
Ito live off the country" In addition
to warm clothing and food you must
carry with you all you need to drink,
and the problem of keeping it from
freezing or thawing it out if frozen
will not be an easy one to solve. There
is practically no air on the moon, and
you must take along a supply for
breathing. If you expect to make a
fire and cook your dinner you must
take, in addition to fuel, an additional
supply of air to keep your fire going.
But suppose that in some way you
are landed on the moon with a supply
of things necessary for sustaining life

which the sun is shining you will mar,

intense blackness of the shadows
Everything in the shade will be In
air filled with little dust particles to
scatter the sunlight so that it may
illuminate the places out of the direct
path of its rays.
And what Il sense of desolation will
present itself to your view! The
desert of Sahara would look like
luxuriant park in comparison with the
lunar landScape-not a blade of grass,
not tree or brook or lake, nothing
but vast stony, silent desert. There
are plains, not quite as level as our
western prairies, and great numbers of
mountains, most of them much sleeper
than those on the earth; they are not
grouped in long ranges, as our ter.
restrial mountains generally are, but
are scattered all over the surface,
singly and in irregular groups. Most
of them are shaped more or less like
our terrestrial volcanoes, and they
probably were volcanoes ages ago, be-
fore the moon cooled Off
II you happen to land ON a part Of
the moon where it is early morning
you will have plenty Of time for ex-
plorations before night comes on. The
sun rises and sets as 1t does on the
earth, but the time between sunrise
and sunset is nearly fifteen of our
days. Then during the long lunar
night our earth will act like the moon,
and will light up that part of the
moons surface which is turned toward
it, only there will be this curious diff
ference-it will not rise and set, but
will remain nearly stationary in the
same region of the sky. From the side
of the moon which is always turned
away from us the earth, Of course, can
never be seen at all.-St Nicholas.

Chinese authorities in the matter OF
enforcing the neutrality of the port
md the procedure OF the Russians in
going forward with repairs to thei
vessels made the situation Il threaten

eigners have extensive property inter

would have involved damage to them.
not to mention the possible loss of lie
and property among the natives of the
city. Happily the American consul gen

Ice to either belliger ut. Formerly
there were different deifees of neutral.
Ity, but international law no longer
recognizes qualified neutrality. A
neutral state now must not only treat
each belligerent with imphrtality, bat
must abstain unqualifiedly from giving
aid or comfort to either except where
justified by dictates of humanity. 1t
must not furnish troops or money or
ships of war or articles susceptible of
warlike use. and it must not allow its
ports to be used by either belligerent
for hostile purposes. 1t is not a viola
ton of neutrality to allow belligerent
vessel in distress to seek shelter. but
according to general agreement among
civilized powers the limit of twenty
-four hours is put on such stay unless
~-le vessel removes its guns. The Rus
SLAMS refused et first to act in accord

course, but the insistence of the consul

Cheaper Food For Hogs.

The price of corn is little high.
and many farmers who have a good
bunch of logs on hand are doing some
hard thinking ana close figuring. Those
who have kept their hogs yarded all

deal of corn are thinking they are 60
ing to cone OFT AT the little end of the
horn. Those who have raised their
hogs on clover pasture are feeling bet
ter and can see some profit in finishing
them up in the best manner even WITH
corn close around 80 cents. The only
man | know who can see any pro.it
in his yard raised pigs is one who has
been feeding them rape and sweet corn
all summer, and he counted the cutting
and drawing Of the feed merely enc OF
his chores. 1t is gradually being fore
ed into the mind of tie farmer Who
farms at random that the only way to
make hog raising profitable is to car
ry them through tie summer On green

of the cases occur among the workers

placed on the top of pots filed with
acetic acid and converted first into the
