The Gun and the Armor.

There is no battleship in the world today that could have stood the Jap anese -long-range gun-fire in the Ko- rean Strait. In the long duel between the gun and the armor the gun is ahead.
 The Russian battleships were pro- tected by supposed impenetrable ar nor. This is usually arranged along the water line and does not protect all the superstructure. But there was a brisk sea on and the ships rolled heavily, so that even comparatively small projectiles could pierce below the water line. and they sank.
 At sea the wind is apt to blow, the waves 70 roll a ship about. If her un- derbOdy must be armored too she will be so heavy that she can carry little coal Every battleship must be left vulnerable somewhere if she is to float at all.

Why Cronje Is a Snowman.

Gen Cronje, the Boer commander at Paardeberg, whose appearance in a
 military show has caused some un- favorable comment, refers in letter to the New York World to many let ters that have come to him from offi- cers censuring him for disgracing the military profession.
 'Tn the first place" Gen. Cronje retorts, "I am not a member of the military profession. Therefore l can not disgrace it. I fought as a patriot, not as a soldier If the average sol dier were as little a snowman as there would not be so many brilliant uniforms covering dull men. British soldiers have said that it was beneath the dignity of a general to become a circus performer. Some of the men who said this are the men fought. They are the men who robbed me or my home and my country.
 ",Those who have protested against my action, being actuated by kindness or sympathy for the Boer cause, will now answer.
 'I went, as every Boer who was man went, and faced the foe that was seeking to destroy the liberty of my country After man., victories l was defeated and captured. I neither dis graced my cause nor my beloved na- tion by my surrender. No man could have done better than we did at Paar- deberg. was sent by the British to St. Helena a prisoner.
 When I returned to the Transvaal. after the conclusion of the war, found nothing but desoIation and ruin. My country was still black with cinders and stained with blood. In the battle of Paardeberg my wife was wounded as she fought in the trenches. That wound bled out from my heart. thought that I had felt the worst pain. Alas, when saw the scared face of my poor country the wound in my heart opened and bled out my hope. I looked into my dear old wife's scared face and then across the mined veldt could not help it. I cried.
 Since that day have not been able to stand straight. was old and weak, hungry and homeless. My children had all died in defense of our country. There we stood. my wife and I, sup porting each other in our misery. How lonely we were! How much alone. was too old to fight again and strike another blow for our liberty. Too old to walk behind the plough. Almost too 1 old to live. My cOuntrymen saw my condition. They offered to help me out of their scanty cupboards. They were as poor as I. I was so old, but not too old to earn a living if the opportunity | offered"

Out of the LImelIght.

Man" Patterson has withdrawn from the stage after a disastrous and decidely brief tour of the smaller cit ies. She has discovered quickly that while she was notorious during her trial, and while the sensational news papers paraded her as a persecuted innocent, and while the New York rabble cheered her when she was re- leased, the steady-going folk at large have no use for her now. She laments that the public has such a poor opin- ion of her personally and as an ac- tress, and she trust that some day she will be understood better and thus en- abled to go back to her profession"
 It is encouraging to find that the common sense people who go to make up theater audiences are not to be in veigled into crowding playhouses sim ply because of the presence of a young woman who has twice escaped con- viction of murder. yet not acquitted.
 Nan" has done we'll to retire from the stage. Now let her go home and settle down with the determination to make amends for her past, and to seek to live long enough to establish a new reputation. She is yet young and there is much to do in the world. Let her go to work in some modest way and strive to be forgotten. As a fact the public has forgotten her already.

there never was a more beautiful play with better language written. The t-
 tie is sufficiently expressive and imne-
 diately conjures fights between manu- lecturers of contraband whisky and revenue officers. The play is devoted to counterplots of the government of ficers and the rough mountaineers. Frequent attempts are made to intro
 duce a tragedy but in every instance something happens and there is no blOodshed. The characters, as is t. be expected, are rough throughout the play. which makes the beauty of the language coming fnom them all the more apparent. Tn writing the play of "The Moonshiners" Joseph Shepard has done what no other author has ever been able to do, make a villain which in the end is not hated.

The Russian Surprise at TsuashIma

A peculiar story comes from Manila
 which would be quite incredible if it
 were not for so many extraordinary things that have happened in the course of this war.
 According to the statements alleged
 to have been made by the Russian naval refugees at Manila the Russian ships were surprised" by the Japa- nese. and the battle was well under way on the part of the Japanese before the Russians were ready to begin. Then, it is told. the Russians manned enly one side of their ships whereup- on the Japanese, with characteristic disregard of the Russian plans, treach- erously attacked the other side of the Russian ships and inflicted serious ir- jury without harm to themselves.
 The effect of the original surprise. coupled with the audacious maneuver by which the Japanese got on the blind side of the Russians, is shown in the destruction of almost the en- tire Russian fleet, while not a single Japanese ship of the line suffered se- rious injury.
 This story far surpasses anything that has thus far been told of Russian naval service, and no comment could add much to the plain features of the dispatch.
 Whether the Russians regarded themselves as on an entirely peace ful mission as they approached the Japanese coasts, whether they mistook the Japanese battleships and cruisers for British fishing boats, or whether they failed to receive the letters that the Japanese must have sent notifying them when and where the battle would begin, has not been told. Such minor l details were naturally overlooked in 1 the shock of the painful discovery that | their ships had two sides.

Popular Taste in nusIc.

In announcements of concerts we often see stated that the program will consist of "classicaP' and "popular" music. The two terms, as thus used to distinguish one kind of music from another, have never been satisfactorily defined. That which is classical must, of course, conform to certain stand ards of excellence, purity and form, and it must possess age. A piece written a hundred years ago, and now regarded as classical. would not be so regarded if written yesterday.
 The word popular is often used merely to designate that which is not classical It is a convenient but not very enlightening term, because 1t is possible for a classical composition to be also popular, that is, to be admired by a majority of the people But it may be regarded as settled. on the one hand, that no bad music can prop erly be called classical, and on the oth- CT hand that great deal of good music Is not classical. Under the latter head may be mentioned, for examples. the works of Wagner, Tschaikowsky, Bizet. Rossfnin and Verdi.
 An interesting attempt has recently been made by the New York Globe to learn the popular conception of good music. It took the form of a voting contest on programs for Walter Dam rosch's summer night concerts. More than 5000 programs were submitted. and a careful count showed that the following pieces had the most votes: Dixie" the William Tell" and Tam hauser'' overtures. the intermezzo from "Cavalleria," t::Trovatore," Faust" and "Lohengrin," the second "Raphso- die Hongroise," the Spring Song." the Poet and Peasant overture, and the Blue Danube waltz With the ex- ception of Dixie" which can hardly be called good" from a musical standpoint, these selections reveal a very creditable appreciation of what is really excellent in music, and the ex- hi5it was doubtless pleasing to MT. Damrosch.

After her last victorious war. Japan had the painful but educative expert ence of being held up and robbed shamelessly, cynically, brutally-of the fruits of her victory. Three great and so-called Christian powers played the fOotpad on that occasion and divided the swag. Japan wisely made no re- sistance; it was a case of force ma jeure; she simply couldn't fight Rus sia, France and Germany. But Japan has not forgotten. and-"once burned, twice shy" Everybody concerned (and the whole civilized world is concerned) may be sure of two things; first, that Japan is not going to invite such an-

Every added detail confirms the opinion expressed immediately after the battle that it's result was an old-fashioned victory for straight shooting and clever strategy, in which torpedo-boats had comparatively little part.

Schlag-ruthe, striking rod-into the

when the German miners were brought
over to Cornwall in the reign of
Queen Elizabeth 1t was they who
doubtless introduced the use of the
rod into England for prospecting the
mines of Cornwall and Somerset
Nearly 100 years later it was used for
finding underground water in Somer-
set, where a domestic water supply
is in many places most difficult to OBJ
tain. owing to the nature OF the Sec
ondary rock formation there; the
water existing in assures or hollows>
and not in large beds, as it does in
many other places.
The r.xt question was What was
'he function Of the do~sing or dlvin-
ing r)d? This is OF use simply as
an index Of an unconscious muscular
spasm which occurs in the doWser
when he l.: in the neighborhood of un-
derground water, metallic ore, or any
other object for which he is accus-
toned to search by means of the rod.
Hence many dowsers do not use a rod
at all, trusting entirely to the sensa-
tions they experience These sensa-
tons often produce a serious mafaise
on the part of the dowser when at the
object of his search. For two cen
tuies dowsers in all countries have
asserted the existence Of this malaise.
What, then, gives rise to the spasm
and twisting Of the rod? Is it a
physical force like electricity? Nearly
all the OWNERS or dowsers them
selves say it is electricity, just as they
would explain boiler explosions. or

tricity. To set this question at rest.
made series OF experiments on in
sulated and uninsulated dowsers. and
found that whenever the dowser
thought he was insulated the rod
would not work, and vice versa.

Widows outnumbered all others the

woes and miseries they are respon-

versed in charity work, is laboring to
have their responsibility held a
crime in the eyes of the law. AS mat
ters now are the wife alone can prose-
cute the recreant husband; a recent
report from the Office of the county
agent makes recommendation that law
be enacted which shall allow the Off

ment to prosecute men who desert,

I looked over the big Office sheets
and had my attention called to the
extremely large number of cases OF
desertion, to such facts as these:
Cause OF distress. desertion; number
OF children, one instance eight; in an
other, ten; in another eleven. Generally,
when the head of the family deserts
be does not desert for good, just goes
OH for little jaunt into vagabondia
and then returns to his household.
Never, believe, for purpose of assum-
Ing responsibility; when temporarily
tired OF the outside world, he comes
back to be fed and cared for. The
men who abandon their families are
thus classified: Those who are al

After much tedious Investigation and
experiment came to the conclusion
that the motion of the rod in a gen
uine and successful dowser is due to
involuntary muscular motion on his
part, and that the stimulus which ex-
cites this motioI is a reflex action,
like that which excites sneezing, hic-
cough, blushing, or palor
The issue was, therefore, narrowed
1own to the origin of this nervous
stimulus. Further inquiry showed
that it is due either to (a) sub
conscious detection of surface signs Of
underground water, which would link
he phenomena of the divining rod on
% other well-knoWn psychological and
physiological phenomena; or (b) it
is sometimes resembling the unex-
plained instinct Of many homing birds
