NAVAL BATTLE EXPECTED.
Clash Between Fleets of Roiestveusky
and Togo Thought to Be
Imminent.

ST. Petersburg, April 5.-News of a
battle between Rojestvensky's and
Togo's fleets is expected any day. There
has ben an air of suppressed excitement
at the admiralty for several days. This,
it is learned, is caused by knowledge
that Rojestvensky's ships are approach
ing the zone where their discovery by
Togo's scouts may be expected at any
hour.
1t is no longer secret that the Rus
sian fleet sailed from Madagascar on
March 16, under orders to proceed to
Nladivostok and to engage the Japan
csc squadron if it cannot elude them.
Rojestvensky has been Is days ON his
voyage. His progress necessarily is
and supply Ioats and he must coal at
sea. But at the lowest calculation he
has steamed 1880 miles to 2.1OO miles
of the distance between Madagascar
ana the Malay straits.
Togo's scouts are known to oe
watching outside of Singapore and
Sunda straits. 1t is assumed naturally
that they are cruising west and south
of the island of Java.
1t is not expected that Rojestvensky
will elude Togo's scouts. 1t is expect
ed that battle will take place. All
the hopes of Russia are centered in
this battle.
St. Petersburg, April 3.-According
to the peace reports circulated on the
Bourse Saturday Russia will cede
the southern portion of the Island of
Sakhalin, in the North Pacific of the
east coast of Asia, used as q Russian
convict settlement, to Japan, and agree
that Manchuria and Korea are perma-
nently outside Russian sphere of in
fluence, and the eastern Chinese rail-
road will be turned over to Japan for
cessiOn to China or to an international
syndicate upon consideration of
$125, O0O, 900 which Japan will accept in
lieu of indemnity.
Gunshu Pass, April "A renewal of
fighting is expected shortly. The con-
centration of the Russian army is COM
plete with its advance lines south of the
station of Sipinghai, "a miles north of
Tie pass. The Japanese are screening
their movements we'll by means of cav
airy and it is difficult to locate the bulk

READY TO KILL CAR.
Terrorist with Two Bombs in His
Possession Gains Entrance
to Tsarskoe Selo.

St. Petersburg, April 6.-An agent of
the terrorist propaganda, disguised as
a colonel of Cossacks, was arrested with
in the cars palace at Tsarskoe Selo on
Monday. Two bombs were found on his
person. Twelve agents of the secret po-
lice are under arrest, suspected of being
his accomplices. Only blunder in his
disguise led to the mans arrest and the
Illustration of one of the most daring at
tempts upon the life of the car yet
made. The man was we'll disguised as
colonel of Cossack regiment. He en-
tered the place Monday on the occasion
of the cars weekly reception to the Of
ficers of the palace guard. His actions
excited suspicion and it was then no.
ticed that his sword was not of the kind
used by the Cossacks. but was an infan-
try officers weapon. Then the man was
searched and a packet containing two
bombs was found. The arrest of the 12
secret police agents followed.

CHILDREN AFFECTED
By Mothers Food and Drink.

Many babies have been launched
into life with constitutions weakened
by disease taken in with their moth
er's milk. Mothers cannot be too care
full as to the food they use while nurs-
ing their babes. The experience of a
Kansas City mother is a case in point:
Il was great coffee drinker from a
child. and thought could not eat a
meal without it. But found at last
1t was doing me harm. For years
had been troubled with dizziness, spots
before my eyes and pain in my heart,
to which was added, two years ago, a
chronic sour stomach. The baby was
born months ago, and almost from
the beginning, it, too, suffered from
sour stomach. She was taking it from
me!
I'm my distress consulted a friend
OF more experience than mine, and she
told me to quit coffee, that coffee did
not make good milk, have since ascer-
tanned that it really dries up the milk.
SO, l quit coffee, and tried tea and
ut last cocoa. But they did not agree
with me. Then turned to Postum COT.
fee with the happiest results. It
proved to be the very thing 1 needed.
1t not only agreed perfectly with baby
and myself. but it increased the flow
OF my milk. My husband then quit
coffee and used Postum, quickly got
well of the dyspepsia with which he
had been troubled. l no longer suf-
Ter from the dizziness, blind spells,
pain in my heart or sour stomach.
Postum has cured them.
NOW We all drink Postum, from my
husband to my seven-months'-old
baby. 1t has proved to be the best hot
drink we have ever used. We would
not give up Postum for the best cof-
Zee We ever drank" Name given by

FROM SCIENTIFIC SOURCES.

The electric waves measured by Hertz
and named after him-were found by
the great scientist to be $50 feet from
the top Of one wave to the top Of the
next. The waves used by Marconi in
telegraphing across the Atlantic are
much longer; in fact, they are 600 feet
or more. They travel ut the same speed
rs ltght-the incredible and almost in
conceivable rate Of $4,000 miles per
second. But the light wave measures
only few millionths Of an inch.
Mr.. r. A. Farmer, Of the United
States geological survey, has left sacra-
mentc, Cal, upon mission that may es-
tablish, in accordance with scientific re-
quirements. the exact height Of Mount
Whitney and also the lowest point in the
United States. Mount Whitney is gen.
orally believed to be about 1880 feet
in height, while the surface Of Death
valley. popularity supposed to be the
lowest in the country, has been esti-
mated at from 100 to 500 feet below the
level of the sea. The expedition will be
hazardous one.
Darwin admitted that the pursuit of
science destroyed his love Of art, but
Ernst Haeckel, who is one of the great
est living scientists, is also an artist OF
marked ability. Though Haeckel has
devoted long and Industrious life to
biological researches, he has found
leisure to do hundreds of paintings, and
many Of his monographs on biology,
which are scientific classics, are illus
trated with his own pictures in color.
During a four months visit to India for
scientific study he brought back some
200 fair-sized water colors.
1t is difacult to conceive of the condi-
lions where canned goods need be con-
sumed without preparation by use of q
fire. but evidently such circumstances
do exist, as several arrangements for
chenically heating, canned goods are
being applied practically In Germany.
In one case the heat is derived from So
called hard spirit contained in a re-
ceptacle attached to the can, and in an
other by allowing water containing q
little acetic acid to act upon unslaked
lime. which ingredients are also con-
tanned in receptacles attached to the
can.
