Their experiment\nis a v_._r n\\s\\\\y one lor Russia, but\nit is unique, as there n__ not lieen\nanything like it hitherto. Practically the Japanese are mailing targets\nof really fine battleships and cruisers and noting the effects as accurately as possifle from a distance.\nWhen they take Port Arthur they\nwill lie enabled by examining the\nwrecks to form new ideas on the\n-onstFubljron of wkrsliips and t'he\nchance? they have against heavy\nguns. Similar experiments on a\nvery small scale have been made\nby France, and also by Great Britain, the old Bellcisle hiring useh by\nthe last named as a tii-gCt tor thc 'tcsH\nThe Bellcisle as a warship, was really obsolete, but she was strengthened in parts and the effects of projectiles and various explosives used\nagainst her were closely observed.\nShe was sunk at least once by a\nperfect shower of shells and then\nhauled closer in shore, floated and\nexamined. But the present experiment under real war conditions is\nin a class by itself.\no\t\nEATING.\nAs Christinas is approaching   and\nthe small |#iy is already beginning! to\nsharpen up     an appetite lor    plum\npudding ami     turkey\u2014although perhaps     the    desirable bird may    be\nsomewhat scarce this year if the  reports of a turkey famine in the East\nhe true\u2014a little homily along scientific lines on the danger of overeating naturally occurs to one.   \\|  th,\noutset, however, as a ray ol hope we\nmay state on thc authority of    the\nBritish  Medical  Journal  that  while\nIt is generally believed lhat the   ordinary individual cats more than is\nnecessary, it has by no means proved\nthat the majority ol mankind eats to\nexcess.    Consequently, when Johnny\nabout two weeks hence, has stuffed\nhimself full   at the Christmas table,\nhis mamma, so long as her son is an\naverage    boy,    may   conclude Irom\nscientific deduction that as the average Individual does not over indulge\nin catiilg, Johnny is only temporarily\nembarrassed.    Some little time ago,\na scientist named Chittenden experimented with various classes of   people,    including    students, professors\nand a sii.lid of soldiers, extending his\nobservations over a period of several\nmonths.    He came to the conclusion\nthat half of what the ordinary man\neats, is    enough to keep one healthy\nand in good condition;   but thc Medical Journal,  for once     takos    the\nside ol humanity and seems to   regard this statement  with suspicion,\nJt says, what to eat and what to\ndrinl: will always be decided    with\nnational custom and  individual preference, so tar as the public is    concerned;   but '.'both may lie influenced\nin  the right direction  by  the guidance of skilled medical opinion.\" So\nit may be seen from all this    that\nmedical men and scientists arc not\nat one in their views and wc confess that alter reading the articles\nin question , we knew no more than\nbefore and that no doubt will also\napply to yon gentle reader when\nyou have perused the present article.\nAN OUTCAST ;K1NG.\nKing Peter, o! Sefvia, continuing\nto deiy the opinion ol the civilized\nworld, has recently conferred his new\norder ol knighthood, the.Star of\nKarargeorge, upon all the officers who\ntook part in the assassination ot\nKing Alexander and Queen Draga. In\ntact, there is not one of tne regicides\nwho does not wear this token ot the\nKing's recognition ol the part which\nhe played in bringing about his Servian majesty's ahvent to the throne.\nThere Is no truth, however, in the\nstory published at Berlin to the effect that the regicides were about to\nreceive decorations from tho Czar.\nThe latter is far from feeling well\ndisposed to King Peter, in spite ol\nthe. latter's kinsnianship to the house\nof Romanoff and to his professions of\nardent devotion to Russia. For not\nonly did Nicholas refuse to send any\ngrand duke\u2014not epen Grand Duke Peter of Russia, the brother-in-law ol\nKing Peter\u2014to attend the latter's\ncoronation, but when the Servian\nking asked permission the other day\nto visit St. Pltcrsburg before the\nend of the year, in order to express\ngratitude tor the \"constant protect\ntion of Servian interests by Rus-\nria,\" the Czar curtly replied that he\ncould not possibly, under thc present\ncircumstances, receive the king, and\nthat moreover, \"the road Irom Bel-\ngarde to St. Petersburg led through\nVienna.\"\nThis was equivalent to telling thc\nKing that the gates ot the court ol\nSt. Petersburg would remain closed\nto him as long as he was unable to\nsecure the good will ol Emperor\nFrancis Joseph, who, however, is\nnever likely to forgive or forget the\ncrime which paved the way lor Peter to the throne ot Servia.\n\u25a0 o\nA REMARKABLE! nULL.\nC. Broadwood, rancher at Five\nMile Point was' in the city yesterday, says the Nelson Daily News ol\nSunday, and told a remarkable story\nol the endurance' ot an animal under very trying circumstances. One\"\nof Mr. Broadwood'is neighbors is the\nowner ot a very valuable three year\nold bull. The bull always returned\nin the evening alter grazing on the\nhills' in the day time. One night\nearly in November the bull did not\nappear at night and diligent search\nthen and during the next day failed\nto discover him. The\/owner assumed\nthat it had been taken lor a deer by\nsome amateur, huntsman, and gave up\nthe search. *)   ;\nThree weeks and one day\u20142_days in\nall\u2014later he found the bull in a\nclump ol bushes albut 150 yards from)\nthe house, with one horn pinned under a (alien tree, its head twisted to\none side, its leet in the air, unable\nto move in any direction, as it lay\nin the angle formed by the elope ol\nthe hill and the log. It was living,\nbut wasted almost to skin and bone.\nThe owner and Mr. Broadwwod first\nfed the animal as It lay, with milk\nand whiskey. As safon as possible-\nthey cut the log and gently released\nthe bull. Belore trying to relieve the\nanimal a pint of rum was administered. Then a sled, was procured and\nthe invalid was conveyed to its stall,\nwhere it is now slowly but steadily\nrecovering.\nThe public health committee of\nI 'andierwell, London, proposes to lit\nup the public baths in the borough\nfor cricket practice during the winter months. Apparently the Camber-\nwellians do not bathe In winter.\nPianos and Organs\nMusical Instruments of all kinds, vocal    and instrumental sheet music\nAll the old and new popular music.   .   ..\nis our specialty   -\nWc sell this month cheap lor cash o r terms.
