The St. Louis Fair is all and more than it was planned to be, and is not
only a great enterprise but a most interesting spectacle. The statement that
it had not been properly advertised has little weight In view of the large
number of influential editors who have placed upon It the seal of journ ilistic
approval. The only regret is that every man and woman, every boy and girl
in the country will not be able to gaze upon its wonders. Not only to those
who stay at home but to such as actually visit St. Louis the Forest City
Series of World's Fair Art Portfolios will constitute a highly prized posses
sion. As our readers are well aware, this magnificent pictorial and descrip
tivc history of the event is now being supplied at the merely, nominal
ten cents for each portfolio. There are 30 parts in all and they contai
views, which are the cream of the collection secured by the official photo
grapher, with all the descriptions are written by Walter B. Stevens, the offi
cial Secretary of the Exposition. The Forest City series is the only collec
tion of Exposition views which has the approval of the World's Fair authou
ties. It constitutes an instructive, interesting and almost inspiring posses
sion for the home, and that it is highly appreciated is shown by the fact that
the distribution is increasing each week among our readers.

ING AND IS THE
The Japanese-Russian war seemly
likely to convert the mid-Pacific atoll
of Midway from a pair of remote
patches of sand into the dignity of a
regular calling place for ocean steam-
-tr ers. Aireauy tne importance 01 this
place as a port of call has been de- ECZEMA, PRICKLY HEAT,
munsiraicti in uie case or tne a. uaeiic, and it is likely that during the
war the vessels operating from San Francisco to the Orient will be directed,
to call at Midway on all outward trips. The S. S. Mongolia will no doubt
call at Midway on her present trip. The operations of the Vladivostok
commerce destroyers has caused great trepidation on the part of steamship '.
owners and evidently no chances will, in future, be taken of the liners being
held up.
Midway could well be established as a port of call for all steam vessels
crossing the Pacific to Honolulu and San Francisco. To stop at that place
would require but a few hours' delay. The vessels could stop off the islands,
signal, and if no orders were waiting for them, could proceed. The advan
tage of such an arrangement would be to enable the agents to keep closer
track of their vessels and estimate the time when the boats would be apt
to reach either Honolulu or okohama.
When the cable station was established on Midway the captains of the
Toyo Kisen Kaisha fleet suggested to the general manager of the company
that Midway be established as a calling place for the fleet in order that the
agents could be advised regarding the trip across the Pacific. For some
reason this change was not inaugurated. The war, however, may now be the
cause of that innovation being introduced. Certainly the people at Mid
way will be delighted over such change. The prospects of having mail ves
sels call there at intervals of eight to ten days is cause for satisfaction to
them.
Nearly fifty years ago the Pacific Alail S. S. Company selected Midway as
a site for a coaling station for the vessels of its fleet. The old side-wheelers
in those days did not have sufficient coal capacity, it was thought, to enable
them to make the voyage across the Pacific. Midway was not used for long
as a coaling place however by the mail boats. It would seem strange now if,
after such a long time, it should again be decided to have the vessels call at
Midway, not because of any deficiency in modern invention, but rather be
cause of the remarkable advance of science shown in the completion of an
ocean cable at Midway which enables the world to be advised of the move
ments of the ocean liners.

has been the greatest artillery duel

the world has ever seen. The heav
iest guns ever used in attack and the heaviest ever used in defense, have
been brought into requisition at Port Arthur, and the awful firing and de
struction must have created a spectacle of terror and grandeur that will
never be forgotten by those who survive. The strength of possible land at
tack, say some military experts, has increased more than the strength of
fortresses, so that there are guns in existence which when once planted at
proper range are capable of demolishing the best forts ever constructed.

of such uproar and destruction as seem to belong properly to nature's great
convulsions and not to the enterprises of man.
Russian guns and defenses as planned since the White Bear took Port Ar
thur from China, occupied a chain of heights around the town. Galleries of
masonry with loopholed walls from which a destructive fire can be sent by
men in comparative safety, are below huge ordnance so placed as to direct the
fire downward. Large vaults of masonry for the protection of men and guns
were planned and constructed, and intervening spaces protected by all
sorts of trenches and other obstacles, and all arranged so that enemies talc
ing one position may Joe, as nearly as military art can make them, certain
of destruction or of being driven out again and again.
Undoubtedly the long Japanese delay in making a final heavy assault has
been due to the difficulty of the work of planting their husre slesr
