Roosevelt a Great Reader.

President Roosevelt's love for the
woods and the plains is no greater
than his affection for books, writes
the Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune In spite of the
busy life he leads and the regular
hours he keeps, it is safe to say that
few men of affairs in the republic read
more than the president and fewer
yet extend their literary foraging over
a wider range of subjects. In addition
to keeping up with the important
newspapers and magazines, which is
a task in Itself, the president is al.
ways abreast of the times in fiction,
science, historical research and art
Reading is to the president what rest
is to most men. When he is at his
home in Oyster Bay. at the White
House in Washington, or in his car
speeding over the rails to meet some
distant engagement, he is invariably
found with a book in his hand when
not engaged in some more important
work. When he starts on trip, be
it long or short, his car. is always
stocked with volumes and magazines,
and just as soon as he disposes of his
correspondence or bows out the visit
ing local committeeman" who come
to pay their respects, he takes up the
book that lays open and continues to
race through its pages. Aided by a
wonderfully retentive memory, the
president holds fast all that he reads,
and is ready, if the need arises, to re.
peat almost any thought expressed by
the author, years after his eye had
Travelled with lightning speed over the
page. That the president is able to
cover so much ground in literature is
due to his systematic sticktoitiveness.

Past Week of the War.

Important war developments were
expected in the far east last week, but
the expectations were not realized.
The great naval battle for which the
world has been looking may yet be far
away, for even the experts have found
all their calculations upset by the pro-
gress of events. 1t was thought that
the two fleets must come together soon
after Rojestvensky had passed Singa-
pore, but no one seems to know what
Admiral Togo's plan of campaign is,
and predictions as to the great fight
that must eventually come are merely
guess work.
the Japanese protest against the Rus
sian squadron making French waters
a base for operations, and Rojestven-
sky will probably put to sea and move
toward the north. He may be attacked
off Formosa or he may be allowed to
approach nearer to Vladivostock. One
authority had it that the japanese
plan was to allow the Russian ships
to enter Vladivostock, where they
could be destroyed after the fashion
adopted at Port Arthur. Perhaps such
program might appeal to an expert,
but to layman it would hardly seem
possible that good sea fighter of the
Togo order would allow hostile fleet,
after SO long voyage, to proceed leis-
urely up the Chinese coast and not
attempt to do serious damage to it.
The Manchurian war news has been
even more featureless than that from
the sea. The great armies appear to
be idle, and there is no definite infor-
nation regarding contemplated ad-
vance movements. However, it has
not been the practice of Oyama to
stand still if he was in position to
move effectively, and it can not be
many weeks before he once more takes
the aggressive.

Easter Day and Its Origin.

It is probable that Easter received
its name from the Saxon goddess Eas.
tire, whose festival was kept about the
same season each year as Easter.
In the ancient church the celebra-
ton of Easter lasted eight days, but
in later times it was limited to two or
three days. 1t used to be festival
of pleasure as well as a time for
generosity and the performing Of good
deeds. Aims were given to the needy,
the sick were visited by the rich and
great, and often slaves were freed
and poor unfortunates suffering i'm
prisonment liberated. Services were
held during the whole week preceding
Easter Sunday, on which day people
greeted each other with kisses, say
ing: HE is risen!" the response al.
ways being: HE is risen. indeed" In
the Greek church this custom Is still
observed.
The custom Of exchanging eggs on
Easter-or during Holy Weeks a
very old one and symbolizes the resur-
rection or renewed life.
Easter day is always the first Sun
day after the full moon which comes
upon or next after the 21st Of March,
which date is the beginning Of the
old church year.
II the full moon comes on Sunday,
Easter day falls on the Sunday follow.

NAVAL fight RUMOR
JAPANESE SCOUTING DIVISION
BUMPS into RUSSIAN FLEET.
Roiestvensky Sailed North Last Sat.
urday From kamranh Bay and
Heavy Firing Was Heard All Day in
Direction in Which They SaiIed-Is
Thought Japs Are Playing for Time.

Paris. April 25-It is believed here
that there was some fighting between
Admiral Rojestvensky' feet and the
Japanese scouting division late Satur-
day afternoon. This belief is based
upon special dispatch to the Temps
from its correspondent at Saigon, who
cables as follows:
The entire Russian fleet, which has
been anchored in Kamranh bay for
some days, sailed northward at noon
Saturday. Soon after they had passed
out of sight vigorous cannonadiRg
was heard in the direction in which
they had sailed. The firing continued
until late in the evening and is believ-
ed to have been caused either by an at
tack on the advance guard Of the Rus
sian fleet by japanese scouting
squadron or else an attack by Destroy
ers on the Russians"
A later dispatch from the cores
pondent says: -Four transports, with
troops aboard, arrived at Saigon on
Saturday. No one was permitted to
board them and there is no means of
finding out where they are pound. The
captain of coasting schooner which
arrived here late on Saturday night re-
ports that he sighted a Japanese cruis-
er squadron on Friday, and it is sur
missed that these are the vessels that
have been engaged with the Russians.
The firing previously reported is de-
clared to have been heard by num-
Der of vessels in the route that the Rus
slams took, and the belief is general
here that the Japanese are doing their
best to harass the Russians, and will
continue to do so until Togo gets his
main fleet into position to give bat
tle."
Before the departure of the squad
ron Vice Admiral Rojestvensky WIS.,
tied Admiral Jonquieres.
No Russian officer or sailor landed
from the fleet in Kamranh bay. They
had expected Nebogatoff's detachment
of the squadron would arrive at any
moment.

Frank, B. G., April 26. - For six
days past fire has been raging in the
coal mines here. but only during the
last few hours has it assumed a serious
aspect. 1t is supposed to have started
from an open miners lamp mile from
the mouth Of the tunnel and, SO far as
can be ascertained, has extended all
over the works. An effort is being
made to close the air passages and thus
smother the fire, but this is rendered
difficult by the smoke and heat,
which are intense.

Some of the newspapers of Paris,
Commenting upon the expulsion of the
pucsian second Pacific squadron from
Fronch territorial waters in lndo-
China hold that France, in seeking
m render exact justice to Japan, has
heen unjust to Russia. The Echo de
paris. which is strongly pro-Russian,
aavs that frances insistence upon Ro-
iestvensky's leaving Kamranh bay will
have the effect of making him an
easy pray to Togo, as the Russian
ships being driven from all points
without being able to take on coal,
must put to sea WIN half filled bunk
ers, being thus crippled at the moment
of meeting the enemy.
The Temps criticize the Saigon re-
mort that Russian merchant vessels
have been forbidden to take on the
necessary coal to enauie them to
reach the nearest Russian port. The
paper maintains that the ships have
the right to take on sufficient coal to
last them until they reach Vladivo-
stok, which is the nearest Russian
port.
