WAS SEVENTH IN STRENGTH
Naval Rating Of Japan Previous to
the Opening of Hosti1ities
o. with Russia,

On the v of the war Japan's was the
smallest Of the seven leading navtes o1
the world. The fleet of Russia, at tina,
time, was Inferior only to that OF Great
Britain and Of France. During 1903
says Hosmer Whitfield, in Success Maya
zine, Russia spent on her fleet over s55.-
100000, while Japan for the whole of ner
navy expended only about $ll, 900. 600.
Consequently Russia laid out in naval
equipment nearly five times as much as
Japan, whose naval fighting strength,
at the beginning of hostilities was only
half that of Italy. Alexieff said: The
fleet of the island kingdom is only an
exotic which We will cripple at the on
set" In the anxiety to impress Asia
with her might. Russia sent p%onderous-
looking men-of-war to the far east
with too few mechanical ratings, and
with seamen who, In a confession made
to me by a Russian officer, were only
agricultural laborers," not only un-
used to sea life, but also IMMERSED in
the simplest mechanical knowl-
edge. 1t was in this condition that
Japan found its enemy when it opened
its attack.

The Wedding Ring Finger.

The wedding ring was placed on the
left hand, as nearest the heart, and on
the fourth finger because that finger
was supposed TO have its W "private
wire tin the shape of a delicate nerve)
to the heart. That finger. too, was
called the medicine finger, and the be-
lief was that by virtue Of the little
nerve it could detect a dangerous
poison If simply inserted in the liquid.
From that belief the idea that wedding
rings-the rings worn on that finger
had special curative qualities had its
rise. To this day wedding rings are
rubbed over an obstinate sty on an
eyelid.-London Chronicle.

ART IN FINDING SPRINGS.
Indians and Frontiersmen Can Lo-
cate Source OF Water When
Tenderfoot Cannot.

There is undoubtedly a practical
art of discovering springs. In
dams or frontiersmen can find
water in the desert whena tender
foot" cannot, says Casiser's Mag
azine. Mexicans and experienced
p~rospectors can similarly find ore.
These arts consist mainly in the
recognition of superficial signs
which escape the ordinary obser-
yer.
1t is not necessary that the oper-
ator should consciously note these
signs separately and reason upon
them. No doubt he frequentlyd does
so, though he may not give away
the secret of his method to others.
But in many instances he recog-
nizes, by association and memory,
the presence of a group of indica-
tons, great or small, which he has
repeatedly found to attend springs
or ore deposits. This skill, due to
habit, is often almost unerring for
a given limited district, but under
new conditions it breaks down.
Old miners from California or
Australia have often made in
other regions the most foolish and
hopeless attempts to find gold be-
cause they thought this or thar
place Cooked just like" some other
place in which theyhad mined sue
cessfully.
Apart from the magnetic miner
ais there is no proof that ore de-
posits exhibit their presence and
nature by any attraction or other
active force. With regard to wa
ter, however, there may be an ac-
ton affecting the temperature and
moisture of the overlyin. surface.
Even here, however, it seems more
likely that such effects are mani
tested visibly to a close observer
rather than by direct affection Of
his nervous or muscular system.
The favorite fields for water d.
viners are regions in which water
is abundant, but not gathered

INDIAN POLITICAL METHODS
Effect Of Education on Redskins Has
Been to Revolutionize Their,
Systems.

The effect of education upon the
Indian has been to revOlutionizc
politics. and the Indian has taken
to the white mans method; the
campaign committee has taken
the place of the barbecue, and cam
paign literature the place of the
stump speech, says the Kansas
City Journal. The Indian takes to
politics like a mosinito to a
swamp. He can tell the effect of a
policy upon his people quicker
than a white man, and an Indian
politician, if one can get him to
tell the truth, can make an accu
rate estimate of the result of an
election long before it takes place.
The Choctaws, while they do not
show so much progressiveness in
other lines as the Cherokees, arc
the best politicians of the Five
Tribes.
The Choctaw Indians have
dropped the old Indian campaign,
and now the winning party wins on
a basis that would do credit to any
political machine in the states. A
regular campaign committee is ap-
pointed. 1t has plenty of money.
From the time it is appointed IN
til the campaign is over it devotes
its entire time to the campaign.
The greatest part of the work is
compiling and distributing cam
paign literature. Every issue
that is involved in the election is
gone over thoroughly and every ar
gument is answered. This litera.
ture is printed in English and
Choctaw. The party that has
adopted the new method has won
every election in the Choctaw ma
ton. The party that clings to the
old Indian method is defeated.

FIND CAUSE FOR DISEASE.
Sleeping Sickness, It Is Said, Can Be
Attributed to the "Try- .
panosomiasis."

An important and valuable dis
covery relative to the deadl,
sleeping sickness has been mad,
ny the Liverpool School Of Tropi
cal Medicine, says the Scientific
American. The cause Of this dis
ease, according to the results OF
elaborate diagnoses that have
been made, is attributable to "try.
panosomiasis," lie, the presence in
the blood, and in the fluids of the
brain and spinal cord, of some
torn of the microscopic parasite
known as "trypanosolna," which
IS propagated by the tsetse fly in
South Africa. From the close OBJ.
servations that have been made
upon the afflicted patients, the
symptoms and the danger bear
some relation to the greater or
less abundance of the parasites,
and develop seriously when they
nave entered the cerebro-spinal
mud. The parasite may be present
IN the blood of deeply-seated or
gans, when they are not to be
found in that which is drawn from
askln puncture, and their frequent
temporary disappearances from
this surface blood renders it diff
cult sometimes to be certain of
their presence in the system. The
expedition organized by the school
also discovered a hlood-sucking
larva, which thrives in many parts
OF the Congo. During the daytime
this larva conceals itself in the
cracks of the native floors, and
only attacks it's victims during the
night. When dug up they are
found to be full of bright red
blood, thereby testify;ng to the
severity of their attack during the
previous night. 1t is the larva of
the Glossina fly which is apparent
~ harmless in the image state.
This discovery is of great value,
and systematic measures to com
bat it's injurious nature will at
once be inaugurated.

WINTER SPORT IN THE ALPS
Switzerland Is Actually Becoming the
Playground Of Europe in the
Cold Months.

Switzerland has long been the
summer playground of Europe;
but in recent years it has become
the winter playground as we'll. In
deed, its popularity in that char.
acter is steadily increasing; and
skating enthusiasts rush eagerly
to a land where they can enjoy
their favorite pastime in bright
sunshine under a blue sky and free
from the fear of an untimely
thaw.
No one who has not experienced
them can fully appreciate the de.
lights of a winter in Engadine.
The clear, dry, frosty air fills even
the idlest visitor with an enthu-
siasm to exercise in the daytime,
and with an overwhelming sleep
mess in the night time. The pro-
sale business of everyday life is
forgotten. Skating becomes every
mans most serious occupation,
and the performance of elaborate
figures his highest ambition. He
retires to remote corners of the
skating Kinks to conceal his in

itarv prominence, he can Join a
merry band of his fellows at a curl
ing match or take part in a game
of hocky or handy.
But if skating is the serious oc-
cupation of a Swiss holiday in win
ter, "coasting" is it's wild delight.
1T is the champagnes at the feast.
The long, slow, toilsome climb to
the top of the run only gives a
keener edge to the enjoyment
which follows. To rush down the
lohg, snowy slopes, shooting sud
den drops, flying at full speed
round dangerous corners on a
coasting sleigh, is to taste the full
JOY of living. 1t is the rapture of
rapid motion.
And besides the delight of such
sports, for the lover of beauty il
added the wondrous spectacle of
Alpine scenery. Around the lakes
where the ring of the skates and
the tinkle of the sleighbells make
pleasant music in the frosty air,
the heavy pine woods stand out
dark against the glittering expan-
ses OF. snow. while far above the
majestic crests of the snow-coy.

CITY COUNCIL MEETS
The Question Of Bonding the City
for $4,000 Will be Submit
ted to the Voters,

The city council met last night in
their council chambers in the new
city hall and transacted considerable
business. Among other things the.
council decided to submit at the next.
election the proposition of bonding
the city for $4,000 for the payment
of the improvements on electric light
plant made last summer, and which
cost about $1,000, and for taking up
about $4,000 of other outstanding or
ders, on which Indebtedness the city
is now paying interest at the rate of
six per cent. AS the bonds of the
city drawing interest at five per cent
can easily be sold, it will consequent-
'ly be an advantage to vote the bonds
and reduce the interest charge. Be-,
sides that, the city would then be in
shape to pay cash instead of orders
for supplies of all kinds, which
therefore can be purchased cheaper
when the money is there with which
to pay. The council would also have
a little money for drainage and i'm
provements Of streets. 1t was pro-
posed to make $4,000 of said bonds fall
due in losyears and $1,000 in Is years,
as then they can be easily paid no
other bonds maturing in those years.
The city of Warren has only sl9, 900
bonded Indebtedness and with sl2, 600
added the amount would be only
S3l, 600. When it is considered that
the electric light plant is worth over
$40, 600 alone, one can easily see that
the city is in good shape financially.

AT the present time a feeling of
gloom exists in this neighborhood on
account Of the spread Of scarlet fe-
yer. The disease appearedxfrsbs last
fall .f'ag at the home of John o., Haugen.
His family was quarantined for six
weeks, and school was discontinued
Tor 1[c a short time. It was believed
ohat by this precaution the trouble
would be over, but suddenly the dis
ease broke out again in, the month of
January, and before one had time to
realize it, it had spread. to several
families. When this is written four
families are under quarantine, nam

Andrew HogDerg, and Gustaf Lee.
The symptoms of this dangerous sick
ness appear different, sometimes in
very mild form, and at other: places
in q very aggravated and dangerous
form. Thus Gustav Lees daughter,
Alma, had such severe attack that
1t was feared she would die. Later
reports, however, are to the effect
that she is improving. The school
IN the district has been continued in
session with the pupils who were
well, and let us hope that no that no
others will be attacked with the dis
ease.
