Thfi Hainan Nom, A nose which in any way suggests our ape-like ancestors, whether snub, flattened or abnormally small, is dee mod ugly. Generally speaking, the long nose belongs to the people of Europe, whereas the Negroes and Mongolians have short noses. With the Esquimaux the nose is said to be in many cases so flat that a ruler might be placed upon both cheeks without touching it. In man the muscles of ' the nose have little flexibility except about the nostrils, which visibly dilate and contract under the influence of passion. Montegazza has remarked that among civilized people the nose is nearly always deflected toward the right, which he attributes to the custom of wiping the nose with the right hand. Leonardo de Vinci discovered that there were over ten different varieties of nose, seen in profile, and eleven I ?w* if1hnrlA5 I WUCU IUUMJU ill 111 livui. ?

A few hours later he received news from his scouts that the Russians were not moving up the western channel between Tsu Shima and Korea, but were passing through the eastern channel between Tsu Shima and Japan. This caused some surprise.

Althougfc fid had served in the Russian Navy for thirty-five years, this last fight -was his first great action. In the Russo-Turkish War he displayed great gallantry in a minor action and became a popular hero. He was in command of a small gunboat the Vesta, which went up against a Turkish ironclad and- wiped her off the water in a broadside duel. After the war he specialized on gunnery. He became a commander in 1885 and was attached to the Russian Embassy in London, where he made a special study of the British Navy. He had a great deal to say in the construction of the new Russian Navy. He had commanded two vessels which have since gone down in this war?the battleship Peresviet, sunk at Port Arthur, and the cruiser Vladimir Monomach, which went down in this fleet action. In the Chlno-Japanese War in 1894 Rojestvensky was AlexiefFs second In command of the Russian fleet which kept an eye on proceedings and helped stake out Port Arthur. Rojestvensky was attached to the Czar's personal staff when the war broke out. Beconl Making Voyage. The fleet under the command of ViceAdmiral Rojestvensky, known'as the Rnssinn Sooonrl Pacific Sauadron, sailed from the Baltic last October after various delays which had caused some European critics to assert that the vessels would never start and that the Russian Admiralty never Intended that they should start. I The voyage had hardly been begun when an incident occurred which astonished the entire world and nearly led to war between Russia and Great Britain. In the North Sea, at the point known as the Dogger Bank, the Russian vessels encountered the Gamecock fishing fleet from Hull, England. The Russian Admiral mistook some of the trawlers for torpedo boats and ordered his vessels to fire. One fishing boat was sunk and two men were killed, others being badly wounded. After leaving the Straits of Gibraltar the fleet divided, one division, under Admiral Rojestvensky, proceeding by way of the Capo of Good Hope, and -Al* ? A rl?v?lt?o 1 V/inlL'orcnin me Utliur, uuua nuuiuai I utiBK.uuu., going via the Suez Canal. Rojestvensky bad with him most of the battleships, and Voelkersam the majority of the cruisers. France asserts that the Russian ships did not remain in the colonial territorial waters, but Rojestvensky's vessels were undoubtedly close to the island of Nossl Be, off the north coast of Madagascar. The long time spent there 'ed to renewed assertions that the Admiralty at St. Petersburg would never order the fleet to the Far East. In the middle of March, nowever, reports were printed that the Russians \L*P?POU9? o y vK. Jra",r ^OIVOSTuK) AJ l. > " 4 N fg j <r 1 :' rWvi > Pthe spot where the battle between the gan. had sailed. These reports were denied, and then repeated, and at length ?it was definitely established that the Bal tic neet naa sanea. Nothing more was heard of it till April 8, when the news came that the fleet had pased Singapore and was in the China Sea. Again the reports were contradictory, some being to the effect that Rojestvensky's entire squadron had passed through the Malacca* Straits, while others said that the principal battleships were missing. It seems the battleships passed further out at sea than the rest of the squadron, and were not seen from the shore. In the meantime the reinforcing Russian division under Admiral Nebogatoff had sailed from the Baltic. This consisted of the battleship Imperator Nikolai I., the armored cruiser Vladimir Monomakh. the coast defense ships Admiral Apraxlne, Admiral Oushkoff and Admiral Seniavin, and a number of other comparatively unimportant vesj sels. After entering the China Sea Rojestvensky spent a great deal of tlm? at various points on the coaafc of French Indo-China, and the Japanese, who had been Irritated by the breaches of neutrality of which the French had previously been accused, became greatly excited over what was declared to be France's open defiance of her neutral obligations in her Indo-Chinese colony. Twice, it is known, the relations between France and Japan were greatly strained, but at length Rojestvensky quit Indo-China for good and sailed north. Norton Goddard Dead.

ATLANTIC WINS THE RACE American Yacht Makes Record Trip in Trans-Atlantic Contest, 24 HOURS AHEAD OF NEXT BOAT Hid the Trip in Twelve Days, Fonr Hours, One Minute-Gorman Racer' Hamburg, in Second, While tho Brit lsh Boat. Valhalla, Pukos Third Place?Keport of Voyage. London. Eng.?The Atlantic, the American three-masted schooner yacht owned by Wilson Marshall, under command of the redoubtable Captain Barr, has lowered all records of trans-Atlantic sailing yachts and has won the race for the Kaiser's cup. She finished between the lighthouse on the Lizard and the German cruiser Pfell. anchored due south, at 9.1G p. m. Ker elapsed time was twelve days, four hours, one minute and her average speed an hour 10.G knots for the 3000 miles sailed. Her last day's weather was in striking contrast to her first.' It was a lit day to welcome the conqueror. After a wet night and misty early morning the Channel rolled with a long heavy swell under a brilliant sun and blue, ^loud-flecked sky. Penzance.?The Atlantic eclipsed all previous records established by yachts fof the passage from Sandy Hook to England, in addition to making the record day's run. The reports received from liners the last few days had not led any one to expect that she would linish so soon. The steamer Lady of the Isles, fitted with a Marconi equipment and in charge of Captain Beckerlog. left Penzance at two o'clock p. m.. and slowly steamed down the Channel, keeping in touch with the various signal stations on the way. She made the Scilly Islands. There being a heavy swell she put into port to-complete and perfect the wireless apparatus. Following a wet night the morning broke with a thick haze, obscuring everything at a distance less than a mile. At eight o'clock a light southwest breeze gradually dispersed the fog, and later a vessel loomed up in the offing which proved to be the Atlantic. She Was abreast Bishop's Hock at 9.37 a. m., and soon after had the advantage of the flood tide running eastward. In the lightest airs she stood up the Channel, with the wind over her starboard quarter. The sun was bright and powerful, eating the heart out of the wind, and at four o'clock the Atlantic was but little east of the Longships lighthouse. Under a cloud of canvas and with the aid of the flood tide she made slow progress, the wind being hardly sufficient to keep all her sails drawing. In the brilliant sunshine she made an Imposing picture. Abreast of the Lizard the German cruiser Pfefl was waiting with the sailing committee on board. Several rachts were cruising in the vicinity to give the winner a welcome. Off Mount's Buy the Atlantic headed more inshore, thus bringing the wind further nrr, ana lier square sail was noisxea. This was at five o'clock, and the Lady of the Isles had the pleasure of being the first to hall and congratulate Mr. Marshall on the magnificent prrssage which his yacht had made. ' , , All on board were anxious to get tidings of any of the other yachts. The latest bulletins were given. Expscting to be met by correspondents at sea, Mr. Marshall was anxious to assist them. He hnd. with careful foresight, prepared a duplicate copy of the log book for the whole run. This was placed in a sealed canister, together with several private dispatches, and handed over the side of the vessel. After the Lady of the Isles obtained it she parted company with the Atlantic. the latter proceeding on the last twenty miles of her course with a frayed racing flag at her mainmast head and the American ensign at the peak. She also carried her official number. The wind was paltry, and from six o'clock the yacht had a foul tide. Her progress was accordingly slow. With a light air she crossed the winning line at 9.16 p. m. The sole German representative in the contest crossed the finishing line .it 7.22 next day, twenty-two hours and six minutes behind the Atlantic, but still beating the Endymlon's record by eighteen hours and twenty-nine minutes, which will, doubtless, be acclaimed as a fine performance. It is, but it was evident that thj* discovery that they would have to be content with second honors came as a disappointment to the Germans. The British yacht. Valhalla, owned by the Earl of Crawford, came in third, 6ome hours later. LOOKS FOR A LONG WAR. JBaron Komura Urges Merchants to Extend the Country's Trade.

T.?The number of insane persons in New i'ork State hospitals and licensed private asylums increased nearly .1000 during tbe past year, according to a report which has just been submitted to the State Commission of Lunacy by the Stats Charities Aid Association. While this increase is smaller than that of the previous year, still it is in excess of other.years, the total average yearly increase being 738. The total number of insane persons in State hospitals and/ licensed, private asylums on October 1. 1004. was 2l>,Sfll, an increase of 027 over the previous year. Of this total number, 25,010 patients were in the fourteen State hos pitals, not including Matteawau ana | Dnnnemora, being S32 more than 011 October 1, 1903. "The system oC complete control, both financial and administrative, of , the State hospitals by the State Com- mission in Lunacy wtiich has now j been in operation for two years and a half." says the report, "is not, in our ' opinion, the wisest method of govern- ' ing these institutions. Of coarse, in so j short a time the effects of the change of system could not have made themselves felt to any great extent, and the ( extreme sensitiveness of public sentiment to any changes affecting the wel- I fare of the insane, resulting from the | agitation regarding the amendment of the insanity law. has doubtless exercised a great restraining influence, { which caunot be expected to continue < indefinitely. < "But while there lias beeu no great 1 change in the State hospitals since the ' amended law of 1902 went into effect, this law opens the way for the en- ' trance of the abuses feared by the opnents of the change. To leave the welfare of so numerous and singularly helpless a class of dependents as the " Insane entirely In the hands of a commission of. three, responsible only to the Governor,, certainly seems danger- i ous." I Recommendation is again made, as j in the report for 1003, for the cstab- j lishment of a system of boarding out , quiet insane patients in private faml- , llesv after the plan adopted in several European countries. Recommendation that improvement 1 be made in the methods of deporting < insane aliens, and that in the cases of i such persons there be more co-opera- , tion between the State hospitals and +im TTnitpH Stntps Immigration author ities is an important feature of the report. It is asserted that the State , Charities Aid Association has found , that insane aliens deported by the Government have not always reached 1 their homes as promptly as they 1 should, and sometimes not at all. i In one of the five cases examined by * the association it is shown that It was i two months after she was deported from New York City before-the friends of an insane Finnish, girl found her in a hospital In Iielsingfors, Finland. < where the steamship company sent , her, though failing to send her bag- ( gage, cr to notify her relatives. In another case, that of an Austrian girl, it ' , Is shown that she was deported without proper clothing and without money, her relatives being prevented by the red tape of the State Hospital from 1 providing the necessities. Their offer to send her over in care of a relative j was refused. The insan* population of Manhattan ; (New xork City), when the census was taken, was 7427, with a population of 2,139,632.
