Port Arthur lies in phitheater, surrounded by many
esch
of which is said to be over five hundred feet high, On the summits of these hills the Rus sians have erected chains of fortifications which constitute the defenses of Port Arthur on the land side. The character of these for. tifications, the caliber, of guns with which they are provided, and the amount of ammunition still at the disposal of General Bt. essel comprise the factors in the problem of Port Arthur upon which all European speculations regarding th
the fall of the place
are based. There seems to be a general agreement that Port Arthur is not adequ- ately provisioned.
Last June, according to the London Mail, the Russian garrison at Port Arthur, exclud. ing non-effectives, amounted to 28,000 men This number had been diminished to 24,000: by July, according to the London Times while to-day, thiuk both these authorities, General Stoessel's effectives can not exceed 17,000 men, if so many, The Japanese Army of investment, on the other hand, has steadily grown, French and English military experts placing it at 100,000 men. The Figaro (Paris) gives the Japanese total as only 90,000, however. The Main (París), said there were 35,000 Russian troops in Port Arthur three weeks ago, but this must be an overestimate, say English papers.
That cautious and unbiased military or gan, the Vienna Reichswehr, still contends that Japan is not strong enough to rush Port Arthur by assault and move upon Kuropatkin simultaneously. If Port Arthur is properly invested for assault, the pressure upon Kuropatkin must have been
But if Kuropatkin is being hard then Port Arthur will have to
wait. The defenses of the place, planned by a great Russian engineer, rather them the desperate character of the resistance, are responsible for this.
The Japanese, it would appear, have worked their way up to the hill forts im- mediately around the town. On every one of these hills are semiclosed works,"

THAT BEAUTY IS ONLY SKIN DEEP
Thousands of men are mere pigmies of what nature intended them, backward, over sensitive, fearing to venture, delicate, easily discouraged, short of breath, weak nerved, lacking the grit, the "sand" which is the possession of vigor- ous manhood. They need Electricity, which is ani- mal vitality. It is the foundation of all vigor. It is the fuel to the engine which runs the human ma- chine. Electricity, as I apply it, is a source of new life to all parts of the body. My

able time yet. The Japanese, says the Parle Temps, have simply decided to subject the Russians to a strain which #tesh and blood can not endure. It points out that the defenders at the guns must be supplied with Ammunition and eatables, that bun- dreds are being killed and that the nearer -the Japanese come the more terrible must be the slaughter. The ditches have once or twios, its despatches say, been heaped with Japanese dead and wounded. Says the Figaro:
It is perfectly true that the Japanese have seized all the outlying positions, and not very distant from the heart of the place. At the same time, the most difficult if not the longest, task remains for them to accomplish. The main line of defense, the best armed and the most arduous to approach, has not yet been penetrated. Behind it the Russians, who are great earth. builders, have further organized several successive lines which they are determined to defend obstinately.
'Honce we believe that the Japanese are not yet at the end of their labors. They have already lost men in the numerous combats they have undertaken in the past three months to get near the place. They will yet endure further losses in the attack upon the last positions.
To sum up, while admitting that the Nippons have already made great progress, we are of opinion that the situation is not so critical as certain manifestly partial despat ches would lead one to imagine. The only thing that could hasten the fall of the place. would be failure of ammunition. The Literary Digest.
WIND FORCE AT HIGH
ALTITUDES.
xperin.ents with kites town from steamers on the Mediterranean show that there, as in Denmark and France, the wind frequently drops at an altitude of about 500 or 1000 metres; this was not solely with a high barometer, as had at first been thought. It seemed sometimes as if the kites were stopped by a coiling, and they had fallen from heights of 1000 metres. $4t about 3000 metres, the wind would usually become fairly constant; sometimes the wind force undulated, giving regular wave-curves of a period of two hours. The weather was often more changeable at a certain height than on the surface. Isolated low-pressure areas vanish at high cleva. tion, and the upper atmosphere, say above 4000 metres, has a general drift to the east along the average isotherms, in accordance with Hildebrandsson's cloud observations, while the lower, and much more disturbed atmosphere would, if it acted alone, drift to the west, also approximately along the isotherms, Kites have been flown from February to June, 1904, at Oxshott, on days appointed by the International Aero- nautical Committee whenever the wind forco, excceded No. 6 on the Beaufort scale. For six weeks after the middle of June the Admiralty placed H.M.S. Sea. horse, 600 tons, 1000 horse-power, at the disposal of Mr Dines in his valuable obser. vatories near Criran Canal; heights of of 8000 ft. have three times been reached. The dropping of the wind, already mon- tioned, has been noticed. The German Emperor, says Engineering, has now a kite nstallation on his yacht Sleipnir.

MAIL STEAMER DEPARTURES.
The following table is a chronologically urranged list of mail steamer sailings to Europe, America, Canada, and Australia. Coast ports, Manila, and Japan are not given, for steamers are constantly sailing for those ports. All the American steamers call at Japan, and the majority of the Australian boats call at Manila, and, in addition to those vessels, special steamers run there. The departure of every steamer is subject to alteration. The P. & O. mails usually reach London in about 28 days, and the French and German in about 28 or 30 days.

One day my sister advised me to try Chas. Forde's Bile Beans. I began to take them, and you can imagine my joy to find about three weeks after commencing with them that, I was improving. Al- to jether I picked up very quickly. I con- tinued taking Bile Beans until I was quite well again.

[F you try to make an empty sack stand with sand or flour it will stand firmly, like a man in his full strength. But if a man lose his strength through disorder of the liver and digestive organs, then his body too will collapse like the empty sack and then his first hope is in Chas. Forde's famous Bile Beans. Mrs Hannah Gill, of Park Gate Farin, Emley, Nr Wakefield, England, says:- My stomach and liver were disordered and I was ill altogether for sone six or seven years. At times I was so bad that I could neither eat nor drink, work nor sleep. My flesh and my bones seemed to ache all over, my memory left me, and I used to wander about like one lost. I was also greatly troubled with costiveness and my food seemed to do me no good. I used to fancy I could eat all sorts of things but when I got them I could never enjoy them. I was also subject to terrible aweata, although all the time I was. shivering and starving, Sleep 1 Oh no on going to bed I might doze for an hour or so, but after that there was no repose.
