UNDERGROUND FICHTlNC.
Described by Japanese Officer Who
Took Part in the Port Ar
thur Battles.

Where we were digging in an under.
ground tunnel toward the Russian
fertilization, almost over our heads, we
noticed a caving of earth. says a Jap.
anese officer, In Leslie's Monthly. Ev.
cry one Of US had rope tied to his leg
We had the distinction OF belonging to
the kesshitai (uow the kesshitai means
a band of men who have left all hopes
of life belind]. We had said to our
friends whom we had left behind, to pull
us out by the ropes, If possible, In case
heaven would not give US the last grace
of carrying ourselves out. The tunnel
had to be dug in all haste. There were
band of Cur comrades who were cling
ing to the shell holes on the slopes in
front of the hostile forts, and unless we
could succeed in blowing up these
caponieres and machine guns 1t was i'm
possible to save them. r.,
All OF a sudden there was an, explo-
sion; earth shock, then shuddered.i All
was blacknsss. Six of us were buried.
We were dragged out by our comrades
by the ropes which we're about our feet
At the end of three of the ropes, how
ever, they found but little save touch
of heroic memory burned black and grim
by the powder. Our tunneling work
was completely wrecked. Where the
explosion took mace there was hole
OF over ten meters in diameter.

SHOOT ANIMALS IN COURT
Novel Method to Show Prisoner Was
Justified in Killing
Man.

Bridgeport, Conn.-The carcasses Of
apig and dog were exhibited to the jury
in the trial Of Paul H. Schmidt, the
youth accused of the murder of Will
liam Taylor, farm hand employed on
the estate of w. H. Crittenden, in Sher-
man, last August.
The animals had been subjected to
tests by medical men employed by the
defense as experts on gunshot wounds.
Dressed in mems clothing, so that the
effect on both tha fabric and living It's
sue could be noted, the animals were
made the targets Of shotguns, fired at
different distances.
Witnesses for the state have asserted
that, judging from the character Of the
wounds on Taylor's body, he must have
been at least ten feet away from
Schmidt when the fatal shot was fired.
AS result Of the animal experiments,
the experts for the defense testified that
the men could not have been more than
four or six feet apart at the time of the
shooting.
Their testimony is in support of the
contentious of the defense that Schmidt
shot Taylor in self-defense Immediate
ly after a struggle for the possession of
the gun.

Strange Scenes In Sacred EdIfees e,
the Olden limo.
At one time the naves Of English
churches were the resorts Of idle
Joungers, the gentry affecting much to
walk, to see and to be seen IL the
various edifices. But the scenes which
took place in "Pauls walk" In St
Peurs cathedral, London, became .
scandal. The cathedral was termed
''at once thoroughfare, Iiarke.
and a fashicsable promenade" From
an act passed in the reign OF Queen
Mary dealing with this abuse it would
seem that beer, bread, fish an flesh
were vended there, horses, mules and
cattle driven through the building and,
according to an old writer, tht midst
of the cathedral was the scene of "all
kinds of bargains, meetings, brawl-
ings, murders, conspiracies aud the
font for binary payments Of money"

TRANSMITTED ELECTRICITY
Mining Industry. the One Most Bens-
flied Through Its Application
as Motive Power.

Scientific readers in general are IA
mlliar with the remarkable develop
ment during the last few years Of power
transmission by means Of high voltage
alternating currents. But perhaps only
the Travelled few, says the Chicago Trib-
une, realize the extent to which this
method is being put to practical use, es-
pecially in the factories OF this country.
In sections where fuel is scarce and cor
respondingly expensive industries
which otherwise would be prohibited
can be carried on profitably by the use
OF power thus transmitted TOR long dis
tances. In many places in the west
wires conveying electric power from
the power house to a point far up in the
mountains have transplanted the eight
horse freight outfit with which fuel for
merly was tediously transported.
Mining is the industry chiefly bene-
flied through this application. of cleo
tricity as a motive power. primarily be-
cause by reason of its cheapness it per-
mits the treatment of ores OF the lower
grades, which, using the costly. steam
eower, It would be impossible to handle
profitably.
The ease with which electric motive
power may be conveyed through cables
into the most inaccessible parts of mines
is another feature that recommends it
to the mine owners of the west.
One main line of power transmission
near Silver City, Idaho, is q miles long
from the dam where the power is gen.
Grated to the distribution point. The
line consists of No. bare copper cables
strung on cedar posts 80 feet high. The
insu1ators supporting these wires are Of
glass, 50 inches long, and tested to 40, 900
volts. az
