JAPs USE HAND cRENADEs
Explosive Weapon Is Said to Be Very
Effective by Swiss Army
Ofncer.

Explosive grenades have played a
great part in the Manchurian war, said
Lieut.. Louis Richer, Of the Swiss army.
+The grenades are filed with dynamite
and are thrown BY hand. The Japanese
have taken many trenches at Port Ar
thur by the employment OF the gren-
ades. which they never could have car
ried by TIE bayonet alone. The gren-
adea. about the size OF your American
haaeballs, are thrown by the arm at
distances OF SO to 100 feet The Japanese
are issuing them to the soldiers more
and more. One experience OF the war
has taughtthem that the grenades are one
OF the new contrivances which are emil
nently practical. think myself that
grenades will be recognized as much
y part OF the equipment Of the modern
infantryman as are rifles, cartridges and
bayonets. have travelled on my own
account in the far east, but | intend
making a report to my government on
the matter Of grenades, and win strong
ly recommend that the Swiss army be
equipped with them. Yes, have been
in Manchuria, but l will not tell where.

It Taxes Three and one-Third Times
as Long to Write the Roman
Numerals.

Moved by the apparent loss OF time
and increase OF errors caused by the
traditional use Of Roman numerals In
designating volumes In photographic
references, DR.. r. NJ. Yerkes. Of Harvard,
has submitted the matter to simple
scientific test. Choosing ten well-edu-
Gated persons. he determined for each
the time required for writing and for
reading the Roman and the Arabic nu-
merals from to 100 and also the rela-
tive number Of errors committed. His
conclusion Is. says Youths Companion,
that It takes three and one-thlrd times
as long to write the Roman numerals
as the Arabic. and the chance Of error Is
p times as great II takes three times
as long to read them. and the chance Of
error is eight times as great An illus
tration is the number IS, which IN
Roman style Is LXxXVII. In the In
ternational catalogue Of scientific lit
erature the volume numbers are printed
IN heayy-faced Arabic type.

Ny Dear Sir:I am just in receip;
Of your communication of December
81, in which you state you have re-
ceived complaints from the Cherokee
Nation regarding the establishment
OF land ofiice at MusKogee, to which
Cherokees are required TO go, and ask
to be advised If an Office has, in fact,
been established here, as we'll as the
occasion and purpose, and about how
many Cherokees viii be required to
attend.
Ia response to your inquiry, beg to
inform you that an auxiliary Cherokee
land Office was established at Musko-
gee, Indian Territory, on January 3,
1905, for the accommodation OF those
citizens Of the Cherokee Nation who
desire to select allotments Of land ~
Eng west OF the Grand and Arkansas
rivers 10 the Cherokee Nation.
All citizens who wish 10 take their
full allotments within the territory
defined, are permitted to do 50 at the
Muskogee Office, provided the land
which they desire TO select has not
previously been filed upon by another
citizen. The establishment Of this
Office grew out Of the necessity for adj
: ditioftzl facilities for the allotment Of
lands In the Cherokee Nation in order
TO complete the work by July /, 1905.
Such an ofiice at any other point
was entirely impracticable, owing 10
the fract that Il would have nccessi-
tated the duplication Of voluminous
records and work which would have
required several months to complete
and involved much expense.
The working Of tile Office since its
establishment would Indicate that
thre is no cause for complaint on this
account, but rather a great accommo-
dalton IS afforded the citizens Of the
Cherokee Nation who wish 10 take
their all0rments west Of the Grand
and Arkansas rivers Those who pre-

RESCUED THROUGH A SONG.

A Scottish youth learned with pious
mother TO sing the old psalms that
were then as household words to them
in the kirk and by the fircside. When
he had grown up he wandered away
from his native country, was taken cap
tive by the Turks and made slave
in one OF the Barbary States. But he
never forgot the songs of Zion, al
though he sang them in strange land
and to heather ears.
One night he was solacing himself
In this manner when the attention of
some sailors on board OF an English
man.of-wnr was directed TO the famil-
lar tune Of "Old Hundred as 1t came
t,oating over the moonlit waves. At
once they surmised the truth. that one
of their countrymen was languishing
away his life as a captive. Quickly
arming themselves. they manned n
boat and lost no time in cffecting his
release. What joy to him after
eighteen long years passed in slavery.
and is It strange thathe ever afterwartl
cherished the glorious tune Of "old
Huudred?"

nearly half their number dead and

At this juncture Mississippi regl-
ment of equal celebrity arrived. Its

but not appriscd Of the nature of the
situation, shouted TO the Tennesseeans.
"Make way there and let Mississippi
in."
A way was promptly made. and the
brave boys from "old Jeff's" State
rushed in with their usual ardor, ana
the confidence begotten Of repeated vic
tories. But when they reached the spot
where the Tennesseeans had received
the destructive volleys, similar greet
ing was given them. Earth anu air
seemed lighted with the flame and
resonant with the roar Of the Internal
regions. and they reeled back as their
predecessors had done.
Seeing them return, the Tennesseeans
rose and yelled: Make way here ana

that ho struck her with light switch,
which lie happened to have In his

snow ana gave II sharp blent. Then
came scene lit for the gods TO gaze
upon. For soon magnificent buck,
evidently In answer to the signal of
distress, came lenping down the road.
and, unawcd at the sight OF man, when
within about twenty feet OF him,
stopped, and with the l,nir bristling
upon his back, began to stamp his feet
and shake his heavily antlercd head.
The woodsman, although stout,
strong specimen OF his craft, was thor
oughly frightened. and after managing,
upon the sly. to get hold of club,
began to move backwards upon n re-
treat. The deer noticed the movement.
followed him up. and by motion Of
the head and glance of eye, commanded
n hall. Finally the doe got back Into
the Dad, between the woOdsman and
the buck, and, probably from exhaus-
ton, laid down. The buck approached
her and lappPd her sides, but upon any
attempt of the man to retreat. would
dart after him until he stopped. This
condition OF affairs continued for near
ly half an hour, the man, meanwhile,
as he freely admits, sweating great
drops Of agony. Finally, the Duck pre-
vailed upon the doe to get up, and by
degrees induced her to move OH the
road, and when Goodiy distance away
both disappeared from the scene.
