PORT ARTHUR HAS FALLEN.
Japanese Flag Floats Over the Gibralter
of the East, Gen. StoeSSel Sur
rendering to Gen. Nog.

The Japanese legation at Washing
ton OH Monday night received a cable
gram from Toxic saying that the ne
gotiations for the surrender of Port
Arthur had been concluded and that
details of the terms of surrender would
be cabled later. The .cablegram said
that articles of capitulation were
agreed upon at four o. clock that after
noon.
Thus, after seige which has never
been equalled in the worlds history.
if we take into account the numbers
of men engaged on both sides, the
courage displayed by both armies, the
terrible losses inflicted upon the be-
siegers and the besieged alike. the
suffering entailed, the use of modern
implements of war, which has been a
wonderful display of the results of
mans inventive genius; taking all
these things into account, together
with the splendid generalship of the
Russian Stoessel. and the no less re-
markable skill and persistency of Gen.
Nogi. the world has witnessed in the
seige of Port Arthur what will proha-
bly, never occur again. Whatever may
be the direction of our sympathies the
American people will stand ready to
pay the tribute of admiration to the
heroism of the conquerers and the con.
quered alike.
This writer desires the ultimate
success of the Japanese army in the
great war, believing as he does that
the aggressive spirit of the semi
civilization of Russia should be
checked. and her grasp on the Orient
loosened. Americans cannot but feel
that in Japan we have a friend and
that the interests of the two countries
are at the present time at least nearly
identical, so while we admire the des-
perate courage of the Russian, which
has never been surpassed, we rejoice
in the fact that her stronghold in the
East has at last capitulated to the
brave and humane Japanese.

SCIENCE PRESERVES STONES
Prof. Church stops CrumbIing of
Westminster Abbey and Restores
Hardness by Chemical solution.

Fears aroused from time to time re-
garding the Westminster abbey, owing
TO the decay of its stone work, will be set
at rest by the highly encouraging report
OF Prof. A. II. Church. 1t appears this
well known chemist has brought his
scientific knowledge TO bear on the prob
lem with such success that by the sim
pie application Of baryta water 10 the
surface he is able to reconstitute the old
stone and make it as sound as ever.
The sulphuric acid in the London air
has attacked the carbonite of lime In
the stone and converted it into gypsum,
an exceedingly soft material. Prof.
Church found that baryta water sprayed
on the surface converts gypsum back
again into carbonite Of lime with film
of baryta suIphate that is unaffected by
acids.
The haryta water penetrates deep into
the stone and after repeated applications
hardcns it gradually from back to front
More than two years have passed since
Prof Church adopted this method for re-
storing the stone work in the chapter
house, both inside and outside, and he is
fully satified it is a complete success.

PUNISH JOKING BY STUDENTS
Edinburgers Are Rusticated for Pre-.
senting Small Black Doll to
RectOrial Orator.

Practical joking among students of
EGinburg university has led to two or
three of the number being rusticated
for two years. The joke for which this
severe sentence was passed was played
at the conclusion of Attorney General
Sir Robert Finlay's rectorial address,
during which the students behaved in
a light hilarious manner, MAX
Ing so deafening a noise that no one
heard what Lord Finlay was saying. At
the finish two scapegoats wore fancy
dress, marched to the platform and pre-
scented the speaker with a small black
doll. 1t was noticed at the time that the
premier, who was in chair, looked an
cry when two merry young students
marched up with the doll, but their rus
tication was quite a surprise.
