LONDON, 6th March.
A St. Petersburg telegram from Vladivos tock says that a bombardment occurred at 1.25 p.m. on the 6th instant. Five Japanese battleships and two cruisers were firing all their guns at a range of five miles. No damage was done, most of the 200 Lyddite shells fired failing to explode. The Russian batteries made no reply, awaiting the nearer approach of the enemy, who later on retired. The Japanese ships were covered with ice.
Considerable numbers of men are volun- teering at Vladivostock and one man is selected from every two. A farms corps of irregulars is forming.

Mr. Hirayama director of the Nautical College at Tokyo, gives a description of the training through which cadets detained for the Japanese merchant service have to pass. In addition to the ordinary education of a mer chant officer, the cadets receive instruction in gunnery and military drill, and are considered as belonging to the Japanese Navy during their college life. There are two training ships con nacted with the college, and a third is building. The coarse takes five and a half years to com plete, and at its conclusion graduates of pro mise and good character are sent abroad to finish their education. There are also schools at Hakodate, Oshima, Yoge, Awashima, Toba, Saga, and Hiroshim, where boys are trained for the merchant service. The instruction given at these schools and Comprehensive as

parasites, it seems unlikely that they are alone responsible. Dr. Matignon, of the French Legation in Pekin, in a communication read by Laveran, notes the great frequency of in testinal parasites among both Chinese and Europeans, and the rarity of appendicitis notwithstanding. He had, however, aoled symptoms suggesting appendicular colic in three of the latter, and due to the presence of unia. He suggests that difference in diet have a good deal to do with the immunity of Chinese.

The Russians saw the capabil ties of Harbin and hence chose to make it a great centre, not only of supply but of military affairs, and now it has suddenly sprung into the position of being the seat of Government as well. It is right in the middle of one of the faires ard most luxuriant grain producting centres of the world. Approaching it from the south one passes through thousands of acres of rich land all under wheat, while away to the northw: rd, upon the other side of the Sungari River, stretch broad grass-covered plains suppporting thous ands of cattle. So rich and fertile is the sur- rounding country that a huge army could, ac- cording to the Shanghai Times, be supported upon its productions and in the piping times of peace it would be capable of producting no small quoth of the quantity of wheat for which civilized Europe, less bounteously blessed by Nature, is constantly clamouring.
It is to Napoleon we owe the saying-" In war men are nothing; a man is everything." Now when the attention of the whole world may be said to be centred in the Liaotung Peninsula, it would seem that the truth of these words stands every chance of being put to the proof once more. With Japanese mili- tary leaders we may claim some acquaintance, for the recent war with China afforded to several the opportunity to write their names in the pazes of military history; but of the Russians-thanks to their habitual seclusive ness, and the fact that many years have elapsed since the nation was involved in hostilities sufficiently serious to bring to the front their best leaders we know less.
