Destruction of karsakorsk.

An eyewitness Of the Japanese
bombardment of Karsakorsk wires
that the Russian forts were silenced
on July Z, after the exchange of a
very few shots The piers, warehouses
and other buildings were set on fire
and the confiagration was reflected by
the foggy atmosphere, converting the
sky into one mass of blood red color.
The japanese army landed amidst the
fire. which was fast spreading TO the
forts. The infantry quickly captured
the forts, from the tops of which the
bewildered inhabitants were seen
fleeing in every direction, CARRYING
what property they could remove. The
fires were not subdued for over as
hours.
The sunken cruiser Novik. which
was destroyed by the japanese at Kar.
sakorsk last August, and the ruined
town and forts are SD witnesses of
the rapidity with which destruction
is wrought in modern warfare.

Gen. Leonard Wood for his sanitary

lows OF the wheelbarrow men in the
upper Yangtse provinces: THE plain

any part of China and great trade in
locally manufactured cloth is carried
on from its neighborhood and sent all
over the country The only transport
used, until the railway or navigable
affiuent OF the Han river is reached
is the wheelbarrow. There is no
doubt that good cart road could be
easily made. but whether II is due
to the fact that draft animals are not
bred in any numbers or that from time
immemorial wheelbarrows have been
used. these latter alone hold the field
and no attempt has been made TO con-
struct roads suitable for any other
form of wheeled vehicle These wheel
barrows, however, are by no means TO
be despised as means OF transport.
Hundreds of them were passed by us,
each loaded with at least five and
often seven or eight of the bales of
narrow cotton cloth made in the sur
rounding districts, each of these bales
weighing about seventeen pounds. One
man would wheel a barrow carrying

laborious work so cheerfully. Farther
on, when we came to the mountainous
watershed country, where only back
loads are possible, became still more
confirmed in this opinion. Often after
a long and weary day with the sur

would have climbed up from 5000 TO
5000 feet. and made several such as
cents and descents, having, perhaps,
been on the move from 3 in the morn

much ground with a load Of lOO

have been glad to rest; but if. as was
often the case where accommodation
was limited, slept in the same house

and that my sleep was often disturbed
by the noise they made as they sat

to make up their loads and get their
food cooked before o'clock"
