The lower Yalu Is likely to be very Important in th?. war. A photograph of It In time of peace would probably ?how a number of rot rafts floating down the wide stream; for along Its banks are the forests whose products are carried southward by the Yalu current to the sea-going junks which take them to market. Near its mouth the Yalu broadens Into a lake-like expanse, about twenty flve miles In length and from four to Ave miles wide. The heavy tides raise and lower Its level by several fe*?t at every flow and ebb. Steamers have aeldom ruffled these waters above An tung, but sea-going junks ply up and down for thirty miles, beyond which point the river is navigable by smaller craft1 for about 130 miles. There are no cart roads crossing the river where It narrows toward the north, but paths here and there come down to the banks. Most of the riv erine territory Is little developed, be cause it Is tbe domain of almost Im penetrable forests through which -the ?untight scarcely reaches tbe waters of the river. These Korean forests helped to fan the quarrel between the Japanese and the Russians, which Anally burst Into flame. Several years ago the King of Korea conceded the part of the forests lying along the river to the Russians; and their Manchurian woodsmen have felled a large quantity of tbe finest trees and floated the logs down to the Junks that have carried them to tbe ?awmills of Southern Manchuria. The timber is mostly pine, and nearly as good as our white pine. There Is oIro an abundance of walnut, beech, oak, maple and other varieties, milking the wood tra^de of tbe Yalu River very Important in Eastern Asia. This for est concession helped to assure tbe cer tainty of war. but the wooded region will not figure In tbe conflict, because ' It Is no place for marching armies.' Europeans who liavo visited it say that a half dozen yards on ench side of the paths are the limits of vision. Only tbe narrow river lunds along the Yalu are settled, and thot sparse ly, but the river has for ages been the great water highway between upper Manchuria and tbe southern end of that country, where tbe Russian sol diers have been massing. Setting foot in Korea, a very different scene Is spread before the Russians >,from that of tbe dense forests to the north. They are looklrig over a plain oztendlng far south, very fertile, and ono of the best farming regions. It Is broken by mountain spurs, which ex tends to or nearly to the sea, but It is ono of the few parts of Korea that may be traversed witlta comparative ease.? Collier's Weekly. Th? World's CoSm Pot. El Ca fetal, a coffee trade publica tion, declares thot the quantity of coffee yearly bought and sold In the world's trade Is worth $2o6,000.000, which probably corresponds to u net ylsld from over 1,800,000 full-bearing trees. that of tbe Wabash Itailroad. which spans the Monougahela Uiver at Pitts burg. After two corps of engineers bad figured out the measurements of tbe centre span with only tbe differ ence of ir>-G4tb of an inch, work was at once beguu upon tbe two large stone piers located ou either side of tbe river. In order to provide for tbe great force to be placed upon tbe shore piers, two anchors, strong enough to support the centre span, were placed uuder ground at a depth of sixty feet, the arms being conected by solid steel frame. On top of each pier is a huge tower. Extending from the top of tbe tow ers Is tbe top chord. which has a rounded appearance, while tbe lower chord extends In a straight line from pier to pier. Tbe struts, batter posts, eye beams, uprights, braces and the other structural steel shapes are con nected with these, 'the top cbord hold ing the bridge up. Tbe work was performed simultaneously from both piers, thirty-foot sections being built at a time. So carefully bad the shore braces been placed that it was a sim ple matter fur the shore piers to hold the Immense weight of the steel frames. When sufficient steel shapes had been placed in positiou. travelers, higher than tbe towers, were erected at either end of the bridge. These trav elers performed the same work as a derrick, tbe dozens of ropes suspend ing from them being kept busy lifting tbe steel frames from barges In the river to their proper places on the structure. Sometimes it v/ould be nec essary to hold one of these frames Id position for several days until the proper bolts or connections could be made. This, of course, made It neces sary to have a Jib upon tbe top of ihe travelers, thus facilitating the hand ling of tbe frames beyond those being held in place. It was the breaking of one of these travelers that caused the death of eight workers, tbe crane, bridge iron and men being precipitated Into the water beneath. Day by day this work continued, the travelers being advanced with the pro gress of the .bridge until the last span was raised In place and found to tit exactly. It was a wonderful sight to witness these two" long outstretched arms having practically nothing to hold them up. The centre span Is 812 f'-et long and contains 7000 tons of steel, the total cost when completed being $1,000,000. There Is about 15,000 tons of steel In tbe entire bridge.

The gray timber wolf la the moat formidable of tbe ape* dea. Compared with tbe coyote of tbe Weat It la aa a tiffer to a pit mule. It would be merely a plaaaant diversion for a fray wolf to tackle a couple of the beat doge that' could be put after him. The Roan boya are broth era. Both are abort and chunky, aa tenatloua aa the Ion*, atronff limbed bounds behind which they ride. Their imported doga were reared to flgbt wolves. Even with the beat trainigg, no dog alone will aeek an laane with a gray wolf. The educated wolfhounds cbaae in packa of from four to eight, and wh? they come up with their prey they throw it down on ita back, and then tbe execution cornea. If the wolf can retain bis feet tbe dogs can't conquer blm. Tbe Roan brothers told of a cbase they bad last Saturday. "We started tbe game north of New Boston, down on tbe Burlington Railroad." said Clark, "at 8 o'clock in tbe morning, and at 4 in tbe afternoon were in at tbe death, which occurred on the farm of the late Judge Andrew Ellison, west of Kirksville, a distance of fifty miles direct, or about twice that distance, as the wolf led us. ? We followed almost Identically the wild country trail taken by the Brookfield bank robbers some twenty years ago. when the farmers of Linn. Macon aud Adair courities. with pitchforks, flintlocks and army mus kets, pursued them. Our wolf gave up tbe ghost within a stone's throw of where the robbers laid down their guns to the farmers. "There were eight hohnds and six hunters. We started tbe wolf in a sort of draw. He struck out across the prairie to the northwest in an easy canter, but the dogs soon began press ing him hard, and he\put on a full head of steam. It was a royal race. The hounds were stretched out to near ly double their ordinary length, but the wolf steadily held his distance ahead in spite of all we could do. Near Winigan we !ost him in tbe brush, and the hounds were bothered a while. By and by they flushed him in a small ra vine. and away they went, the forms of pursued and pursuers clearly show ing against the snow. The wolf was giving tbe hounds the exercise of their lives. He was of the gray species, called a timber wolf, and was the larg est and most active I had ever seen. "The riders were soon left far be hind. but lor the last hour of the chase the dogs had the quarry in sight. John Bunch, a fanner of Adair County, when he saw the game, hurriedly got bis horse and fell In behind the hounds. He was In at the death and saw the fight, which Is the exciting climax of a wolf hunt. He told us the wolf stopped suddenly, as if It had got tired of run ning, and faced Its pursuers. The dogs surrounded it warily, as hunters do when closing in on human game. As the wolf stood at bay Bunch snid it looked as large as a calf. It was hig her than any of the dogs that bad chased It. Finally one of the dogs made a lunge for the enemy's foreleg. The wolf's long, thin head shot out. and the hound withdrew yelping, with a strip three inches long torn from his flank and his blood covering tbe snow. Another dog was caught in the foreleg, nnd the wound looked like II bad been Inflicted by a razor wielded by a strong hand. But the pack knew their busi ness. With one grand rush they leaped upon the wolf, and in a twink ling be was on his back, and merciless teeth were at his throat. In a moment more he was a very good wolf, and nothing of value was left to him but bis bide. "We got in about half an hour after the obsequies. The bloody snow told the story of a gallant flight. Three or four dogs were urgently In need of a surgeon, but they seemed happy, nev ertheless. and the experience will make them better wolf dogs than ever. It will also teach them to see that their comrades are ready before getting within striking distance of a gruy wolf again." Mr. Koan said wolves were more nu merous In Western Maron County than ever known before, and stock raisers have suffered severely. A bounty has been ofTered for wolf scalps, and the farmer boys are organizing their hunt ing bands and getting their dogs In training. No wolf hunter carries a gun. because he knows he could never get near enough to make n shot. Foxes ure also plentiful. They are more cun ning and harder to catch than wolves, but not nearly so dangerous. A gray timber wolf can put up os stiff a fight as a panther. A wolf dog Is taught to flght in early life by being placed with a young wolf. At maturity he knows what he Is running against when he hears the horn, and is anxious for the chase, because he knows It means a tight, and that Is all that makes life worth living to the wolfhound.? Kan sas City Times. A PRIEST'S ADVENTURE. "Happy the man that once In four and twenty hours cou'd get so much as a Sup of Broatli," wrote Father Hennepin In describing his explora tions along the River "Oulsconsln" in 1678. Father Hennepin and one at tendant named Picard left the larger party In "a little sorry Canon" to meet a reinforcement which was to bring powder, lead and provisions, that were so greatly needed. He thus describes their progress: "When we embarked in the Morning, we knew not whether we shou'd have anything to eat at Night. 'Twas not every Day we met with any Game, nor when we did were we sure to kill It. This put us upon Hunting the Tortoise; but 'twas with much difficulty that we could take (Ay; for being very quick of hearing, they would throw themselves into the Water upon the least noise. tk? mmj we lad MM;Bla8Ml?M*li.t?dtb?r)Nk wry f?t Whilst I wrffe cottrivtif to rat off his Head, ha had llha to lavs be? befofe-haid with at, by saspplag of aj Ftaicr with his Teeth, which arc vary sharp.

SAILOR FOUGHT AN OCTOrtJS. A daring fight between a man and an octopus occurred off Punaluu. Island of Hawaii, week before last. Waha. a native sailor, on tho steamship Manua Loa. was the victor of the tight. He displayed an unusual amount of reck lessness. for he attacked the creature without any knife or implement, says the Philadelphia Telegram. The purser of the vessel saw the oc topus swlminlag near one of the small boats from the steamship, and called attention to the peculiar looking tisli Walia. who wore only a pair of trous ers. saw that the thing was an euor mous squid or octopus. Without a word he sprang overboard to attack the creature. The sailor grabbed hold of the two tentacles near the beak of the monster, and then ensued the most remarkable battle probably ever wit nessed by any white inan in that part of Hawaii. The most vulnerable part of an octo pus is its eyes, and it was at these spots that Waha made his onslaught lie fought with his teeth and hands. The instant that the octopus felt the man's grip it lashed madly round am! then dived below the surface of the water. Fortunately, the water was only up to Waha's shoulders, and the mail succeeded in getting a foothold on the bottom and thus keeping his head above the water. The arms of the octopus were seen wrapped around the body of Waha. but the man clung on. He realized that he was engaged in a life struggle, for if he relaxed his hold the creature would drag him un der the water aud drowu him. The octopus emitted a blackish fluid that colored the water in the vicinity of the struggling pair. Hut the native struggled on. He kept biting savagely at tbe eyes of the octopus. Once lie got the right eye flrmly gripped, but a sudden dive under the water choked liim into letting go his hold. The tight lasted fully flfteeu minutes. First one eye of the octopus was torn away by fite sailor, and finally the other. With the loss of the second eyo the octopus gave up the tight. The creature measured tlfteen feet across Its tentacles were as large as a man's wrist. Waha was badly bruised and his arms and body flayed. WILDCAT ON HIS RACK. On Sunday night young Adam War den, of Steam Hollow. I?a., beard pe culiar noises in the barn at the rear of the bouse. He threw on a part of bis clothes and ran out to see what wnsr tbe matter. As be unlocked tbe barn door he heard deep, hoarse mewing, accompanied by tbe stamping of horses* feet and whinnies of alarm He hud advanced but a few feet when a heavy animal lauded on bis bock and he felt his skin being torn by sharp claws. As he cried out with pain n shot wus fired over his shoul der and the animal sprang over his bend, spitting and snarling at some approaching person. Again came the sound of a shot, followed by a heavy thud on the stable floor. Then War den's sister-in-law rushed up. -asking If be was hurt. It took tbe lad Rome time to realize that a wildcat had been bis assailant. Faint from the loss of blood, he stumbled into tbe house, where his wounds were dressed. She had followed him from the house and bad brought a revolver with her. She saw the cat spring upon the boy and at onre brought the gun Into play. It rolled the beast over dead at ber feeU ?New York World. ADVEXTFRES OK A DESERTER.

From Butterlck's Point of View. Wallace BiJttxick. of Newt York, secretary of the general edition board, speaking at a Baptist mission ary meeting in Cleveland. Ohio, de scribed the present, status of the No gro in this country as a man and rltl zen accepting the view of Bishop Gal law ay, of tllie Methodist Ejllsi opal Church, South, that there will never be a social mingling of 'the races, what they will worship In separate church es and bo educated in separate schools, that political power will re main in preseut hands and the Ne groes are here to stay. Granting this, the four needs of the Negro are home, land, school and church, and he needs them all at onca. The.^e will give him seit-mroctlng capacity and economic efficiency. Many Ner.ro churches are pagan and must be Christianized. President Sale , president of the Atlanta colloge, said the alarming thing from the southern educator's point of view was the growing unrest and discontent, among the Negroes, for which they had cause enough, since never had race feeling run so high nor the Negro had so little show AH Were Created Black. "God never mode a white man. In the beginning all mon -vero bla<-k. but In their wanderings on the oartli many of them have become bleach ed. And Ln their unnatural pallor many of the?? bleached mon, all of whom were made black at the bogin ning, now look with contempt and Indifference? often with prejudice and h?te ? upon their brothers, the Ne groes. who have retained the cok>r that Ood gave tlhem." 8uch waa the declaration of the Hev. H. M. Turner, senior bishop of the African Method tot Bplscopal Church. In an address In Qulnn Chapel before one of the sesaiona of the church's conference recently In Chicago. The ohapel waa packed with Negroes who are leaders In the rellgous wort of the race and all applauded roctfer ously. "What wo Negroes need la more education," continued Bishop Turner. "We need not only the various schools which are now under control of our church, but we need proper Instruc tion imparted.

A Chicago dispatch Is as follows: There aro too many Negroes In Chi cago, according to the Itev. D. I. Stln son, chancellor of the Morris Brown college, Atlanta, Ga., who mode an address at the Institutional African Methodist Episcopal Church. Hia subject was "Practical Education for the Masses the Redeeming Feature of the Race." ? There are 35,000 Negro men and women in Chicago today who ought to be started down south at once." said Dr. St-inson. "Fifteen year-? ago I could get plenty of money her.' for the education of the southern Ne-jroes but when the green, unsubstantial, ig norant herd of brutes of the south came yelping up to Chicago, where they have free bars, free street cars, free hotels, where they can go as they please, talk as they please, things wore nearly turned upside down. These southern Negroes are not able to meet conditions here. They are ignorant and they are deceived. The best Negroes stay in the south, but Instead of telling these poor people the truth you in Chicago urge them to come where they can vote. "I would urge the practical and systematic education of all the facul ties of the heart, the mind and tho head. "There are too many poor minis ters begging through the soulfh.

Bmall Claims Paid by Government. There have been several 1 cent claims against the United States gov ernment. One was by the Southern Pacific, which submitted a bill of $j.2!> for hauling government freight. It was a bond-aided road, only part of Its bills against the government being paid In cash, the rent going to the railroad's credit on the bonds. In this case Its credit was $5.28 and Its cash I cant. Another government obliga tion of a single cent, was In favor of a chemical company, which, for some unexplained reason, agreed In a public competition *o supply 10,892 pounds of ethyl ether for 1 cent. The offer was accepted. Thore were nine signa tures. one that of a rear-admiral, on th? paper, relating to the establish ment. of this claim and the warrant for payment had to be signed by sev* ?ral persons.
