70 ILLUMINATE NIAGARA FALLS.
Mist and Water viii Flash All CoIors
of Rainbow at Night,

Niagara Falls, n. Y.--The contract
has been closed for the night illumin.
alton OF Niagara falls, and the pro.
posed plan for lighting the mighty
torrent will be the greatest feat ever
conceived in electrical illumination.
The falls will be illuminated for the
first time August 10. The illumlnat.
ing scheme calls for nearly 80 large
searchlights, several of them the
largest of their kind and capable OF
throwing a beam of light a hundred
miles, and the new color scintllatOr,
a late invention. The projectors viii
be located below the falls In two bat
teries, one at the waters edge and the
other on the high ground of the Cana.
dian side. Every inch Of the two falls
will be under light.
The new color scintillator is an at.
tachment fitted to the searchlights
by which the beams Of light can be
made any color at Will. Thus the
mist and water bathed in all the col
ors of the rainbow, will surpass any
thing in spectacular effect save the
great Northern Lights.
The proposition is to illuminate
Niagara on a scale in keeping with
the surroundings. 1t Is said by the
Illuminating experts that the rays of
colored lights when flashed in the air
will be visible at Rochester and
Toronto.

PETITION
Is REFUSED
In Scbrashum Bankruptcy
Case.
PROPERTY TRANSFERRED
Before the Petition was Filed
in Court.
Judge Carey of Opinion That Case
Cannot Come Under the benk-
Iuptcy Laws.

Robert +. Carey Of Upper San
dusky. referee in bankruptcy, was
in the city Saturday afternoon and
rendered decision IN the bank
ruptcy matter OF A. II. Schrashum
formerly proprietor of the Sterling
store in this city. Carey refused
to grant Schrashum settlement
of affairs according TO the bank
ruptcy laws. This refusal was due
to the fact that Sechrashum had
kept no books and to the testimony
which had been adduced to the ef-
feet that before filing petition in
bankruptcy he had transferred some
of his property to u sister and a
brother at Canton, Ohio.
The decision Of Carey will be
reported to the bankruptcy court
at Toledo and will be finally acted
upon there. A suit mas already been
brought to set aside the transfer
of property to Sechrashum' sister
and brother.
II was some time after Schrash-
ms petition in bankruptcy had
been filed that some of his credi-
tors charged him with having
tried to dispose OF his property.
This put a stop to the proceedings.
Schrashum who is now employed
in store in Detroit was not at
the hearing Saturday but was rep
resented by his attorneys.
Judge Carey also received the fin
al report of Cornelius Breen, trus-
tee in the bankruptcy matter Of
Michael Breen, formerly proprie-
tor of the European hotel. The re-
port was accepted and the trustee
will be discharged.

day be able to take vengeance on the
Russians for their cruel treatment of
unhappy Poland.
KurOki's genius for war was never
more conspicuous than in the great
turning movement at Liao,yang. When
Kuropatkin threw the whole weight of
his army upon the angle held by Ku-
roki, he should, according to all mill
tary precedent, have destroyed his foe.
But Kuroki not only held the enemy
at bay, but held them long enough for
a supporting column to turn their
flank.
Kuroki's part in the last great bat
tie, that of Mukden, was that of a
fierce and vigorous attack upon the
very strong position that was held by
the Russian center, not with any hope
of carrying it, but in order to force
Kuropatkin to carry out the move
ment which ultimately led to his de-
struction.

SPARTA OFJAPAN''

a letter in which he said that Kuroki's
father was polish nobleman who had
fed from Russia after the revolution
of 1881. This nobleman, whose name
was Kourowski, first went to Paris,
afterward to Turkey, later joining the
Holland troops in Borneo. From Bor-
neo he went to Japan and there mar
ried Japanese. From the union was
born Kuroki, who, because of the ma
tionality of his father, was nicknamed
The Pole"
1t is said that the general is very
proud of his Polish origin, and that he
has always cherished the dying wish
Of his father that his son would some

They have neither blackboards nor

In learning to write. They put their
left knee on the floor and set their
right one up for desk to rest the

They also begin their books at the
back, reading forward. The ability

sidered in Central Asia to be the sign

ance at school is voluntary, no one
being compelled to send his boys if
he prefers to keep them at home.

new fOrk.-ln was in 1884 that a
prince OF Sweden, whose name history
docs not reveal, visited Japan as a
guest OF the nation. A graduate of the
military schools of Europe. the visitor
was reputed to be one of the LEADING
princes of his time in skill as a mill
lary strateglst and tactician. There
was detailed as his escort a quiet
spoken staff officer of the mikado's
army, man with the teciturnity of
Grant and the face of a Sheridan. AS
ne was completing his visit the prince
turned to his escort and said:
L thought l had learned all tha4
there was to know of tactics and
strategy, but you have shown me that
there was much more knowledge to be
OBTAINED on military matters than can
be had in the schools of Europe. TAX
ing your schooling from us you have
greatly improved on everything that
we taught
The staff officer to whom the prince
PAID this high compliment was Gen.
ltel kuroki, the now celebrated war
rlor who commanded the First army
corps in the war with Russia. and who
rendered such conspicuous service
that Field Marshal Oyama referred to
him as his "'strong right arm" Gen.
hurok1 is now in this country on a
mission to the jamestown exposition.
Born 62 years ago in Satsuma, the
Sparta of Japan" Kuroki at an early
age entered the military service of the
m1kado, and rose grade by grade from
the lower ranks, attaining in 1894 the
rank of lieutenant general That was
the year OF Japan'S war with China,
and in that conflict Kuroki commend
ed the Sixth division of the invading
army. 1t is related that his divis-
ion had been scheduled to be the last
one to be embarked for the invasion
of China, and that Kuroki chafed so
much over the inaction that he fretted
himself into state of Illness But i'm
med1ately the troops were landed and
the smoke Of battle began to roll from
the front all of Kurokis illness van
ished and he joyOusly exclaimed:
"Ah, this makes me we'll again"
From the very beginning of the war
with Russia, Kurogi halted the world s
attention by the display of his mill
tary skill Then it was that people be-
gan to inquire more closely about this
warrior whose military genius shone
so respondent. Efforts were made to
trace his origin, and although the in
quirers found little assistance from
the silent soldier, it was finally ascer
tanned that he was of Polish origin. A

pursuing his studies in Europe, wrote

Sow Suckles Big Frog.

A monster green frog has won the affec-
tons of mother SOW from her seven
sucking pigs, with the result that they
are in danger Of starvation. The story of
this unnatural detection is vouched
for by Hugh Cameron, prosperous far
mer of the neighborhood Of Blue Ball, who
claims it is the strangest experience in all
his long years of raising pigs.
During the recent hot wave the SOW,
longing for mud puddle, broke from her
pen, leaving her offspring to exist as best
they could. Mr.. Cameron soon discovered
her desertion, and went in search of her.
TO his great surprise he found her wallow.

seemed very well content with the new ar

immensely, despite the fact that the pc
culiar formation of his mouth prevented
his getting more than small part of tn,
milk, most of it running out the sides an,
down his legs to the ground. It re-
allired considerable urging to get the so,

A Cold Winter Predicted.

A cold winter is said to be indicatedby many
signs and mute forecasts in the surrounding
fields and forests. According to an amateur
weather prophet there is liable to be plenty
of snow. Hunters report that cartridges are
flying east this year, and are 80 scary that it
is with difficulty any one can approach within
several hundred feet of them. 1t is said they
fly up quickly and make for the tall timber,
and cannot be driven out into the open.
This is sure sign Of cold weather.
If the partridges spent most of the time on
the ground in the fields it would indicate mild
weather, but the outlook is not favorable to
a warm season.
Those who have observed the operations of
the muskrats say the little animals are making
unusual preparations for long hard siege of
cold weather by building many houses and
places of refuge. 1t has been observed that
they are stocking their wintertime abodes
with an unusually large supply of grasses and
twigs to make their homes strong and secure
against the wintry storms and ice, and their
beds comfortably warm.
Wild geese are already flying southwark,
farmers say, and they argue that this means
an early winter and cold one.
