Reflections of a Bachelor.
A woman can always fish out
some old keepsake that is only
good to cry over.
It’s pleasanter to be bad with an
easy conscience than good with an
uneasy one
Some men have such will power
they brush their hair the way their
wives want them to.
There is no pleasure for a woman
in buying anything cheap that she
doesn’t have to fight for at a bar¬
gain counter.
A girl can be very much inter¬
ested in a man if she thinks it will
help to make some other man very
much interested in her.—New York

THE RIVAL WEAPONS
SUNS OF THE JAPANESE AND RUS¬
SIANS COMPARED.
The Ariaaka Rifle of the Japanese of
Smaller Caliber and Longer Range.
The Hnaatnn Gan Biot Quite So Ip
to Date.
The victories of the Japanese in Man¬
churia make it interesting to compare
their methods of fighting and their
weapons with those of the Russians.
The repeated successes of the Japa
oese naturally raise the query whether
their superiority over their foeg on
laud as well as at sea is due wholly
to greater strategy and courage or in
part to the character of their arms.
Certainly much of the success of the
Japanese Is due to their ability to go
in light marching order and outstrip
the enemy in all kinds of maneuvers.
During the Boxer insurrection in Chi¬
na tn 1900 the Japanese soldiers were
notable for their ability in this re¬
spect. They pack their supplies and
ammunition so that they can be mov¬
ed with facility, and their ammunition
is lighter than that of the enemy. As
the average Japanese has a smaller
physique than the average Russian sol¬
dier the fact that his ammunition is
lighter is an important item. Owing
to this fact he can probably carry an
amonnt equal in efficiency, though not
In weight, to that of the opposing sol¬
dier in spite of his inferiority in phy¬
sique.
The rifles of the opposing armies are
about equal in weight, though they
are quite different in construction'and
carrying power. The enterprise and
the capacity for being up to date which
the Japanese have shown of late years
in matters of industry they have also
displayed In the equipment of their
army and navy, and this is now prov¬
ing a fortunate thing for them in their
contest with a great power like Rus¬
sia, which, despite its enormous re¬
sources, is slow to think and move and

therefore at a disadvantage in many
respects when contending with a peo¬
ple so agile in movement and fertile in
resource as the men from the mikado’s
country. The I test authorities on war¬
fare now favor the manufacture of
rifles of smaller caliber and longer
range. The Japanese rifle has a cali¬
ber of 0.5 millimeters and carries a
cartridge weighing twenty-two grams,
while the weight of the Russian car¬
tridge is twenty-six grams. The Japa¬
nese rifle, called the Arisaka because
it was invented in 1S97 by Colonel
Arisaka of the Japanese army, carries
a projectile for 2.200 feet at an eleva¬
tion equal to the height of a man. The
Russian rifle carries its bullet at this
height for 1,700 feet. The initial veloc¬
ity of the Arisaka rifle is 2,356 feet per
second, which is 300 feet faster than
that of the Russian rifle.
So far the comparison of equipment
seems to favor the Japanese. But it
is to be remembered that at a certain
range the rifles used by the Japanese
have the capacity of making very clean
holes in the soldiers hit. and this is not
an advantage in warfare, as a man
may be wounded without being stopped
from fighting unless the bullet pierces
a vital spot. A buliet moving slower
Is apt to do more damage provided the
range is right. However, at short
range the Japanese bullets are able to
do plenty of damage to those hit. A
high velocity rifle has greater penetra¬
tion and therefore makes cleaner holes
at long than short range. Much of the
fighting between the Japanese and the
Russians has been at short range.
Individually the Japanese are very
good fighters at short range, the old
samurai traditions being to some ex¬
tent responsible for this. Then. too*,
they do not seem to care how many
men are lost so long as the victory is
on their side. In the battle fought for
the possession of the mountain chain
north of Port Arthur the Japanese in¬
fantry took a chain of five hills held
by Russian artillery, losing 100 men
in the first assault. But this assault
enabled them to carry the two north¬
erly slopes, and then after a furious
artillery fight. In which the Japanese
are notable for marksmanship, the}
scaled the remaining slopes and dros#
the Russians back to Klnehow.
