The accompanying Illustration ta of especial interest la view of the fact that the Japs trove set themselves to the task of repairing and raising some of the Russian vessels that may be turned Into serviceable craft The sketch was made for the London Sphere by Charles Wyllle, the marine artist, after a careful examination of maps and charts of Port Arthur, together with all the telegraphic information on the subject, not only as to the position of the vessels, but also as to the damage they sustained. The scene Is presented as It appealed to the trained nautical and artistic eye. The smaller vessels shown In the picture, but not named, are torpedo boats and merchant craft hit by Jap shells.

What to Eat I 1 Of ftll'S IB. i OLLY stepped lightly over the low wall and came toward the house. Hobson, seated on the lowest step of the piazza, turned tils eyes from the contemplation of a glorious sunset to the neat, girlish fig ure. Ills experienced eye took in ev ery detail of the slender form from the crown of her fluffy brown head to the trim ankle which peeped out from below the clean calico gown, lie wou dered If there was among tbe ladles who lounged In his mother's drawing room one who could show such an an kle, such a fresh complexion, such radiant eyes. Hobson doubted it. Hut, after nll,.he thought what were Molly's charms compared with Molly herself, the sweetest little woman In the world. "ltetsy generous to-uight. Miss Mol ly?" he called out. "Yes. Pee," she exclaimed triumph antly, exhibiting a foaming milk pull. "Only she stepped ou my toe," she added regretfully. She deposited the pail on the ground, and, seating her self on the step beside Hobson, calm ly removed her slipper. "It's torn," she said, inspecting It, "nnd the stock ing, too." And she ruefully regarded the little pink toe which looked out bravely from the rent stocking. "Hut it didn't hurt much, she added with a smile. . At that moment Hobson was trying to imagine Miss Felicia Deerlngton re moving her slipper and exhibiting a torn stocking In his presence. The thought tickled him and he laughed aloud. The girl turned quickly and regarded him, tlieti, with the crimson slowly suffusing her cheeks, she thrust her foot hustlly Into the slipper, and, lifting the milk pall, walked silently up the steps nnd into the bouse. Hob son bit his Hps In vexation. "What a fool I am," he muttered Impatiently, as be went In search of her. How ever, it was some time later that he succeeded in finding her alone. The moon was Just rising and Hobson, with Holly's band on his arm, was trolling down the narrow pith to the old bridge. "Are you angry with me. Mis Molly?" he pleaded. "I know V but the gjrl checked him, "Please don't say any more, Mr. Rich ard," she said quickly. "I I did not realize that you see, I " she paused in confusion, and Hobson caught her fingers. "I'm a brute," he whispered, and then because some thing welled up into his throat he could say no more, but with a sudden movement he crushed the fingers against his lips. Then the face of Miss Felicia flashed Into vividness In his brain and with a sigh he released the hand. "I am going away In the morning," he said, presently. "Yes," she replied In an even voice, but with averted face. "We shall be sorry to have you go, Mr. Richard." There was a long silence. Hobson was cursing himself and fate and so ciety nnd the whole universe, but aloud he said simply. "Thank you, Miss Molly." Then after a pause he added, "I am to be married next week." He watch ed her face Intently through the twi light but nil she said was, "And I am to be married next month." There was another long pause. "And the man?" he nuestioned, his heart strangely heavy. "Just Sam," she said with a little sigh. "And the lady?" "Miss Felicia Deerlngton," he re plied, with Just a touch of pride In his voice. "I have read about her," she Bald sonly. "She is very beautiful, is she not?" "Yes." They had reached the bridge, and the moonlight slanted across the rip ples of the water and shone upon the girl's white face. "Perhaps we had better go back," she whispered, with a little shiver, "It seems cold down here by the water," and she turned again toward the path, with Hobson following. The silence was oppressive, yet neither of them seemed to care to break it. At the foot of the steps she paused and held out her hand. "Good by, Mr. Richard," she said softly. Hob son caught her fingers again to his lips and his breath came quickly. "Molly," he breathed, "If I were not Richard Hobson, If I were Just a sim ple farmer, if " Rut she tore her hands from his. "Don't," she gasped, "don't make It harder for nie. Good by," and the door closed upon her. Hobson stood like one dazed, the croaking of the frogs seeming In his ears like the pounding of his own henrt A merry crowd of fanner boys passed down the road, their shrill whis tle echoing through the night air. Hob' son looked after them with a sigh. "And I would give my millions," he whispered, as he turned wearily away. "Just to be one of them." And Molly, stumbling up stairs In the darkness, was crying softly Hnd pressing against her face the hand which HobBon had kissed. Indianapo lis Sun. He Didn't Know It.

Our Interests There Well Guarded by a Comparatively Younu Man. While Japan is going through her great International struggle for exist ence, and when the friendship of for eign states means so much to her, the position of nmbas uador to the Mika do's empire is a place of no little importance. It is not fully known how much Japan and the world owe to the friendly and tactful course pur sued by the Amer!- lloyd c. oriscom. can minister, Lloyd C. Grlscom, during this period. The Japanese are a sensitive people and a little less of wisdom nnd tact and the good olllces of America might come with less acceptance than they have thus far. Nothing could exceed the kind feeling existing in Japan to-day toward the United States, and this feeling has been greatly enhanced by the American minister. Mr. Grlscom Is one of the youngest men holding such . an important posi tion under our government He suc ceeded the late Col. Alfred E. Buck, who died early in 1903. He represent ed our government in Persia before going to Japun, and was also before that charge d'affaires in Constantino ple. In both places he distinguished himself by his efforts to secure full recognition of the rights of Americans without friction or unpleasantness. American interests have never been cared for In Japan with more dignity and safety, and Mr. Grlscom holds not only the constantly growing re spect and admiration of the resident Americans and travelers through Japan, whom he always receives with rare grace and cordiality, but he command's the esteem and regard of the diplomatic corps and the Japanese government. On Obtaining Success. Thomas W. Law son, the Boston mil lionaire, believes that It is rather through enterprise and orlglnnlity than through economy that financial success may be attained. "The time is past," he said the other day, "for such economy as used to be practiced by an old Boston restaura teur, who recently died. "The old fellow was economical to excess, but while he pottered about his kitchen, trying to make one egg do the work of two, his neighbor across the way was introducing a roof garden and a mandolin orchestra, and the economist I understand, hardly left enough on his demise to pay his debts. "He was, beyond any doubt an economist. A eohple of plumbers were working one day In his cellar. It was too dark there to see, and the men asked for some light. " 'Well, said Uie old fellow, 'here's a candle. Make It go as far as you can.' " 'One candle won't do,' said the plumbers. 'It won't give ns sufficient light We must have two.' "The old man knit his brows and thought " 'How long, boys, will you be work ing down here?' be said. " 'About fifteen minutes,' said the plumbers. , "'Then,' tald the restaurateur, 'cut I the eandls In two.' "Boston Post Miaa Ellen Adama Left Deaf and Dumb ' in Childhood by lever. Left deaf and dumb after a severe attack of scarlet fever when sho was a child of 12 years, Miss Eliza Adams has passed 42 years in the Louisville city hospital in complete ignorance of who her parents were. This peculiar character arrived In Louisville In the fall of 18G2 from Nashville, Tenn. She had been deport ed with the crowds of women and chil dren the United States government sent out of that State when the armies of the North and South were making Its green pastures gory with the blood of the Civil War, und In the deporta tion she became separated from her parents and family. In Nashville a great camp was pre pared for protection of these people and for several weeks Eliza Adams was confined In this place. Finally she became ill of scarlet fever, and, owing to her age, she was soon sent North. Raving In delirium, she reach ed Louisville and was taken to the city hospital. She had no friends and no one who arrived lu the same train with her knew her name or anything of her par entage. Finally, under the care of Mrs. Gurey, the superintendent, she began to Improve, nnd within five months after she reached Louisville became perfectly well so far as mind and body were concerned, but the rav ages of the" disease hud destroyed her hearing and power of speech. Owing to her tender years her memory was also partially Impaired and after she learned to tulk by the sign language used by deaf mutes she was unable to throw any light upon her history. Shortly after she became well Mrs. Garey took compassion upon the afflict ed orphan and adopted her as her daughter, giving her the name she now bears. Many efforts have been made to learn something of her history and par entage, formerly by Mrs. Garey, before she died, two years ago, and later by friends connected with the hospital. These have been entirely unsuccessful, owing to the meager information which can be gleaned from her mem ories of younger days, and In all proba bility her parents have long since pass ed away. f 7T n n w i SENDING PICTURES BY WIRE. New Procesa Discovered for Transmit ting Drawings and Handwriting. During several decades a number of methods for reproducing simple pic tures, drawings and handwriting elec trically at a distance have been pro posed and partly carried out but none of them has led to a result of techni cal importance. This seems not to be the case with the improved system of Professor Korn of Munich, whose suc cess is due principally to the employ ment of a vacuum tube as an adjusta ble source of light at the receiving sta tion. The essential arrangements are well known from previous attempts. Two cylinders, one at the sending and one at the receiving station, run In syn chronism. On the former is the pic ture to be transmitted, preferrably on a film, and on the latter is a sensi tive photographic film. A fine ray of light concentrated by lens from a suit ably arranged Nernst lamp, penetrates the first film and strikes a selenium cell inside of the hollow glass cylinder. The selenium cell Is connected in se ries with an accumulator battery'i the line wire and a current indicator at the receiving station. Upon rotation of the hollow cylinder the litrlit ray describes a spiral line of very small pitch on the film, like the stylus of a gramophone. In proportion to tne blackening of the film the light ray Is weakened more or less, the resistance of the selenium cell raised accordingly, and the current In the transmission line shows corre sponding reciprocal changes. The time required ror reproducing a photograph Is at present half an hour. The transmission line may, of course, be used at the same time for tele phony. Photographs have been suc cessfully transmitted over a fourfold line between Munich and Nuremberg, the resistance of the complete loop be ing 3,200 ohms. The time of transmis sion may be considerably diminished by increasing the deflecting and Indi cating powers of the galvanometer. The time required for the transmission of handwriting or drawings Is only Dne-twentieth of that necessary for pic tures. At present f00 words can ensily be transmitted In one hour. By ope rating the high-tension relay directly by the line current an improvement can be effected. How Brahmini Measure Time. The Brahmans' clocks divide the day Into 60 hours of 24 minutes each, called ghnrees. Occasionally a 24-mlnute sand glass Is used, but more common ly a copper bowl with a very small bole In the bottom of It, this bowl be ing placed on the surface of the water and gradually filled. If the hole in the bottom is correctly sized the bowl sinks in 24 minutes. This registers the duration of tbe ghr.ree.

' What promises to be a priceless boon to the hundreds interested in irrigating and hydraulic mining projects is an invention which has recently been brought to a state of commercial per fection by W. It. Phillips, a practical hydraulic engineer of Portland. It is a hydraulic ram that will utilize any fall of water from three feet for the purpose of raising a portion of it to any desired level. It is a perfect sub stitute for the water-wheel and pomp combined, with greater efficiency. It requires no attention and involves no cost of operation. For hydraulic miners it will convert the volume of water into pressure. It enables them to dispense with long and costly pipe lines. It will make available gravel beds heretofore un touched by the hydraulic giant. It is of unquestioned superiority in its ap plication to hydraulic gravel and water elevators. It is thought it will fill the demand of the hydraulio miner for some suitable means of exploiting gravel beds inaccessible to the high heads of water demanded by the hy draulic giant. Recent reports show vast areas of such unexplored gravel beds to exist in the Pacific Northwest. In an interview with Mr. Phillips, from whom the above information was obtained, we were told that the license to manufacture the ram was sold to the Columbia Engineering WorkB, of Portland. Spaniards as Gamblers. In Europe and the New World the most inveterate gamblers are tbe Span lards and their descendants. Among African tribes the Haussas run the Chinese very close; and there are some Kanaka tribes in the South seas who push tbe hazard of gambling beyond tbe grave.
