Gen. Joe Wheeler Sees Victory for Japanese In an article to the New York American Gen Joseph Wheeler says it is hard to compret permitted her Pacifie squadron to scatter to such an extent that onl; 40 per cent of her fleet could be avail- able at the outbreak of war with Japan. It seems evident, Gen. Wheeler says, that the entire Russian fleet in the Pacific will be destroyed before it will be possible for the Baltic squad- ron to come to its rescue, and by that time the Japanese navy will beso thoroughly equipped and prepared that the Baltic squadron will neces- sarily meet the same fate as has the other Russian ships. [t would seem a very doubtful policy for the czar now to send his Baltic Sea fleet to the Pacific, with such a strong prob ability of it being destroyed. It will now be impossible for the Russians to prevent the landing of the Japan ese army either in Corea or Manchu- nd why Russia ria. Gen, Wheelerfurthersays: I do not concur in the opinion advanced that the Russians can get the better of The army of the Rus- the Japanese on land, the Mikado is better than sinus, Gen. Wheeler then refers to the re port that the Russian soldiers are ay murdering helpless citizens, and says x : wie this fact will materially militate against their success, Any soldiers that are permitted to murder or tor- ture unarmed men, whethercitizen or prisoner, becomes demoralized and loses all the chivalrous spirit’ that makes armies victorious, Butchers can never be heroes, Then General Wheeler follows with a eulogy to the chivalry of American soldiers, Dies for Piece of Meat. “Houston, Tex , Feb, 20.—Tess, the leopard, trained to balance on a ball and do those things that have made thousands of people wonder, is dead In a fierce fight with her mate, in the great cage at the Houston Audito- rium, she was throttled and choked “Tess” and ‘Bess’? «were mates ex : cept at feeding times, and then they = were enemies, A large piece of meat was thrown into the cage, Supposed ly “Tess” was first to grasp the even ing meal, With the large piece of meat in her mouth she wasattacked by the other leopard in her cage.

Their main source is the f liver—and all the fine spirits ever oo made in the Blue Grass State could not remedy a bad liver or the hun- dred-and-one ill effects it’ produces Ycoucan’t have good spirits anda bad liver at the same time. Your liver must be in fine condition if you would feel buoyant, happy and hope ful, bright of eye, light of step, vigor ous and successful in your pursuits. You can put your liver in fine condi tion by using Green’s August Flower —the greatest of all medicines forthe liver and stomach and a certain cure for dyspepsia or indigestion.

Sreatest Heat of Radium Discovered in Intensest Cold. Exactly Opposite te Effect That Low Temperatures Generally Exert on Chemical Action—Experi- ments of Prof. Curie. Another discovery of the extraordi- rary property of radium has been com- municated to the French Physical soci- ty by Prof. Curie, It was only in March last that eminent men of science refused to accept the statement so ir- reconcilable to scientific experience as the astonishing fact that radium pos- sesses the property of maintaining & temperature at a point three degrees higher than that of its surroundings. But the fact that, in addition to the marvelous radioactive physiological properties, radium has this unique and unprecedented power of the emission of heat, has been established beyond the possibility of question. Strenuous efforts have been made to »btain accurate measurements of this heat producing and determine the ef- fects of external conditions in promot- ing and retarding it. Prof, Curie has found that heat emis- sion remains unchanged through a very wide range of temperature, there being ao-perceptible variation at the temper- ature of a summer day, or that of liquid air, but if a long downward stride is taken from the temperature of liquid air to that of liquid hydrogen, radium shows that it is not always unaffected by the external temperature. And here amazing new fact that the change in the rate of heat emission of radium within the comparas tively listance of absolute zero Is in exactly the opposite direction to what might be expected in view of the effect of low temperatures on or- jinary chemical action; for at the tem- perature of liquid hydrogen the heat emission of radium, instead of being re- duced, is augmented. In simple lan- the substance which does not change its heat at all temperatures from that of an ordinary room to that of liquid air gives outa greater heat wRen subjected to the greatest cold that sci- entists have yet reached. These experiments with liquid hy- drogen have led to the curious discovery that freshly prepared salt, ora solution of sodium, has the comparatively feeble power of giv off heat at all temper- atures, but the power steadily increases for about a month when it reaches the maximum activity, which it then main- tains apparently indefinitely. These remarkable resuits have failed to throw any light upon the process whereby radium maintains a constant mission of heat radioactivity. comes the short DAKOTA DIVORCE INVALID. English Court Refuses to Recognize the Constandinidi Decree Issued in the United States, Sir Francis Jeune, president of the divorce court, has granted D, §, Con- standinidi a divorce trom his wife on the ground that Mrs. Constandinidi’s con- duct led to the misconduct of her hus- band.

Mr. Constanidindi obtained a judical separa- tion from his wife in 1899. John Law- son Walton, counsel for the petitioner, explained the subsequent proceeding, as follows: “This delicately nurtured lady of Bel- gravia went toa wild district of the earth, emigrated to the half-settled state of Dakota, became an American citizen, stayed six months there, fraudulently obtained a so-called divorce, and married the correspondent there, thus using the lax Datoka laws for her purpose, “This,” continued Mr. Walton, “was the deed of civilized jurisprudence.” The jury found against the respondent and corespondent, and awarded $125,000 damages against Dr. Lanco. It also found the petitioner guilty on a counter- charge. NEW USE FOR INJUNCTION. divorces, A Dakota Man Wants a Rival Re- strained from Making Love to His Wife.

MILLIONAIRE’S POOR STOMACH The worn-out stomach of the over- fed millionaire is often paraded in public prints as a horrible example of evils attendant on the possession of great wealth. But millionaires are not-the only ones who are afflicted with bad stomachs. The proportion is far greater among the toilers. Dys pepsia and indigestion are rampant among these people, and they suffer far worse tortures than the million- aire unless they avail themselves ofa standard medicine like Green’s Au- cust Flower, which has been a favor ite houeehold remedy for all stomach troubles for over thirty-five years August Flower rouses~ the torpid liver, thus creating appetite and in- suring perfect digestion.
