IN A RAIN OF SHELLS
RUSSIAN SAILOR TELLS OF HoR.
RoR OF NAVAL BATTLE.
Once ounners Get the Range Every
thing Which the ProIeetlles Strike
10 Destroyed, While the splln.
ters Work Great Havoc.

Atlthe battle Of Tsushima, when the
Japanese destroyed the Russian fleet.
Captain Semenoff was on the flagship
Suvoron. He had no definite post, and
took notes until the sinking OF the yes
sci. Extracts from his story are as
follows:
"The first shells few over us. At
this range some OF the long ones
turned u complete somersault, end
could be clearly seen with the naked
eye curving like so many sticks thrown
In the air. They flew over us, max
ing sort of wall. different to the Or
binary roar.
After them came others short of US
nearer and nearer. Splintors
whistled through the air. jingled
against the side and superstructure.
Then, quite close and abreast the fore
most funnel. rose gigantic pillar OF
smoke, water and fame. saw stretch
ers being carried along the foce-
bridge.
shells seemed to be pouring upon
us necessarily, one after another. 1t
seemed as II these were mines, not
shells, which were striking the ships
side and falling on the deck. They
burst as soon as they touched any
thing-the moment they encountered
the least impeachment in their flight.
Handrails, funnel-guys. topping lifts
OF the boats derricks, were quite suffl-
cient to cause thoroughly efficient
burst.
THE steel plates and superstruc-
lures on the upper deck were torn to
pieces, and the splinters caused many
casualties. Iron ladders we're crumpled
up into rings. and guns were literally
hurled from their mountings.
in addition to this, there was
the unusual high temperature and
liquid fame of the explosion, which
seemed to spread over everything. l
actually watched a steel plate catch
fire from burst. OF course, the steel
did not burn, but the paint on 1t did.
Such almost non-combustible mate
rails as hammocks and rows Of boxes,
drenched with water. flared up in
moment. At times it was impossible
to see anything with glasses. owing to
everything being so distorted with the
quivering, heated air.
"A man reported that the after.tur-
ret had been blown up, and almost
simultaneously there resounded above
us a rumbling noise. accompanied by
the sharp clank OF falling iron. Some
thing large and heavy fell with
crash; the ships boats on the spar
deck were smashed to bits; burning
debris fell all round us, and we were
enveloped in an impenetrable smoke.
THE fore-bridge was struck by
numerous projectiles. Splinters of
shells, which penetrated in large guam
titles under the mushroom.shaped roof
of the conning-tower, had destroyed
all the instruments in 1t, and had
broken the compass. but luckily the
telegraph to one engine and the voice
tube to the other we're still working"

Wars Effect on Youthful Minds.

What impression is this terrific war
producing upon the child's mind?
What do the boys and girls think Of
the conflagration that is raging and
OF the battles that are waging?
Perhaps the small children have no
thought upon the subject at all, but
the older children, who are reading
stories of ancient heroes as II they
were myths or fairy tales, and study
ing history bristling with wars OF past
generations, which would ordinarily
lead them to believe that war was a
relic OF barbarism. and impossible be-
tween modern civilized nations, what
do they think? Is this terrible con-
flict to unset all their notions and sub
vert many Of their ideals? Is this sys-
tematic slaughter of warning armies
likely to cheaper the value OF human
life as appraised in youthful minds?
These are questions, to be true. cas-
lily asked and hard to answer, but they
suggest a trend something for their
elders to ponder 'Over.-omaha Bee

have in mind a young girl OF
splendid ability and exceptionally
attractive personality who applied for
an important position in a very large
concern. There was no vacancy or
likely to be any in the position de-
sired, but she made such a profound
impression upon the proprietors that
they created a new position for her,
and paid her large salary. One OF
the proprietors afterwards said that
he could not afford to let the girl
get away from them. for they con-
sidered the human element, the per-
sonal element. their greatest business
asset.
The firm in question prides itself
on the superior personality Of all its
employees. It admits that large per.
centage OF the salaries OF many Of the
workers is paid not/purely for ability,
but for the deslrability and attractive
ness of the employees personality.
They value this because an attrac-
tive personality has the power to
make friends and to draw patrons

the fact that they owe their success
largely to the exceptional quality Of
their products and the excellence OF
service, they say that their large bust
ness is due even more to the personal
ity of their employees.
