DO YOU KNOW HOW TO REST?
University Of Wisconsin Establishes
Glass For "Fideety" Students.

University Of Wisconsin Establishes
Class For "Fideety" Students.
How to rest is the newest thing to
be taught in the modern university.
Glasses in rest" have just been add
ed to the gymnastic curriculum of the
University of Wisconsin.
In reporting to the United States bu-
reau of education George Wehler, d.
rector Of physical education at the
Wisconsin institution. says:
ave do not go on the theory that
the gymnasium is good for every one
and that therefore every one must
take gymnastics. The purpose Of these
classes in rest is to teach girls who
are restless and fidgety and who grow
weary from the performance Of tasks
that ought not to produce fatigue how
to acquire control over their own nerv-
GUS systems"

AlRSHIP TO KILL WHALES.
Coast Veteran viii Use New Method In
Old Time Industry.

Hunting whales with hydroplanes,
from which air whalers will shoot
their game. promises to revolutionize
the ancient, honorable and romantic
blubber business.
That is the opinion of Captain G. D.
Loop, Pacific coast whaling veteran,
who is at the head Of a company
Which will include in it's first arctic
expedition an aviator and hydro
plane invented by Loop. He believes
the new method Of hunting the big
mammal of the seas will soon relegate
old time systems to oblivion.
Captain Loop, who has been expert
menting with an aeroplane in southern
California, proposes to do his own
hunting by flying his own machine.

big charge was made, the great guns

roar of the musketry doubled. Then
a perfect fusillade of explosions, heav-
Ter than the musketry, followed, and
Immediately all was silent, and we
knew the fort had been taken.
Later in the night very heavy fir
ing started up at the northeast gate,
outside of which there is high noun
tain, within a half mile of the wall.
There had been continuous light firing
going on there for eighteen hours. and
after midnight the firing increased to
regular bombardment. The day
previous we had seen the imperial
tents at the first peak Of this noun
tain, where $50 imperial soldiers were
stationed with rapid fire and mountain
guns. Above them on a higher peak
we had seen the revolutionists take a
stand with mountain artillery. The
tort just inside this northeast gate
had two 6-inch, two A. inch and two
3-inch guns, these being manned by
Tartar soldiers, probably because this
fort is near to and overloolzs the Tar
tar City. On the north side of the city
are the Tiger and Lion Hill forts, both
or Which were in action in this battle.
With the three forts in action and the
two mountain artilleries also, we had
by far the fercest cannonading of the
whole siege. Just before daylight a
fierce rush was made, and the victory
was won. Eighty of the dare to die
band had charged the height and, with
hand bombs. drove the imperialists in
a wild flight down the mountain"
Mere Boys as Soldiers.
DR.. Blackstone declares the work of
the young soldiers, mere boys, was
characterized by the highest bravery
and that, with proper training they
will make the greatest fighters the
world can produce.
Negotiations for the surrender were
conducted by Vice Consul Gilbert, the
Rev. A. ]. Bowen and a Mr.. Tseo.
When word came that General Jane
Hsuin had fled through the north gate
and escaped across the river the SOL
diers began to loot. The havoc they
wrought. writes DR.. Blackstone, was
awful The local police went out after
the looters. AS fast as they were
caught they were beheaded in brutal
fashion. Two were caught at the doc
tors gate. One was beheaded, and he
interfered and saved the other mans
life. The looting was not directed
against the foreigners. The mutilat-
ed bodies of soldiers were strewn about
the streets.
DR.. Blackstone heard that the gun
ners in charge of the imperial fort at
Marking were revolutionists and work

over them with drawn swords They

The missionaries witnessed the burn
ing of the Manchu city, a step made
necessary because there were eighteen
mines secreted there. The Manchus

lace were delighted with the change,
for they felt they were in the hands of

The old man gave no indication Of
the surprise he had in store for his

told to be careful of the wrapper. The
wrapper turned out to be a crisp 500

Inc revolutlonists were under the
impression that the imperialists at the
South Gate fort would join them, so
one night they made an attack on the
fort. The imperialists hoisted a white
flag to mislead their enemy and when
they advanced opened fire upon them.
Lack of ammunition forced them to re-
treat, but they returned to the attack
on the next night. The next day the
German and American consulates mov-
ed to the Warships at the river port,
the gates of the city were closed and
the real siege began. There was much
excitement, DR.. Blackstone writes, but
the fourteen foreigners were conf

DR.. Blackstone saw one case Of sjus-

dismounted and had the thnee soldiers
beheaded. Three Manchu soldiers rob-

soon captured, beheaded and their
heads carried on poles while warning
was shouted to all. Then followed
wholesale beheading, for when the
outbreak came it was suspected that
many revolutionists were in the city.
A student passing the mission house
was beheaded and his heart cut out.
His ricksha man suffered the same
tate. The announcement that all cue.

followed by a search of the city for
such, and the missionaries helped many
to get away.

victory Early in the evening the
booming Of the cannon at the South

We listened to this battle with intense
interest, knowing that The revolution
lists would make a desperate effort to
capture the fort this time, as it was
their fourth attack. The big guns
