Only last week a Russian officer, Lieutenant Prince Radziwill, was teiling us harrowing tales of the manner in which Russians | of and Japanese alike attack flags and of a Japanese detachment of 600 men which attempted to sur- | render to_the Russians and hoisted a ! white flag, only to be fired upon from | the Russians in front and by the Jap- anese in the rear, the latter being dis- gusted at the idea of permitting a Jap- to surrender. The Russian Prince says that these luckless wights lay dying between the Russlan and Japanese lines for several days. Occa- sionally one ‘would rise up on his el- bow, and then, “ping!” he would be bowled over by a Russian or Japanese bullet.

H Salo Cohn, known throughout Aus- tria for his beneficence in feeding the homeless poor through the medium of the people’s kitchens in Vienna, is now vigiting this country. Mr. Cohn, one of | the most prominent of Austrian finan- cielrs, retired to devote himself to char- { itable and sociological enterprises and | became interested in the first people’s kitchen in Vienna. It is owing to his| zeal no less than his liberal contribu- | tions that the enterprise has been such a remarkable success. Mr. Cohn is one | of the most remarkable types of Aus- | trian self-pade men. At the time of his retirement from business a dozen years ago he was one of the most | trusted and influential members of the Vienna Stock Exchange;—l-:xchnnge, ————ef Freak of a Storn:. The result of a freak of a storm | recently is seen upon many of the cars‘ of the United Electric Railways. The, sides of these cars are streaked in a | way which suggests that salt water | had been sprinkled upon them, but the | white spots cannot be removed, no mat- | ter how hard they are rubbed, or.what | sort of solvents are used. The red paint H has assumed a pale, pinkish hue in| some instances. The cars have not| been affected very much, however. No | satisfactory explanation has been found of this phenomenon. A chemist sald yesterday that when water runs over varnish for a considerable time and with force the varnish is blistered | and loses the vigor of its coloring. Another suggested that gases in the air were forced down by the heavy fall of water and chemically affected the results in detail follow: paint and varnish on cars and doors.— | increased to | Queen | the judges. | Don, outb: | Peggy, lin the raway | of the scales and handicapper. | after the hounds proved enjoyable. the Way to the Wire.
