A n interesting letter from Julian Ralph,
on the Japanese-6111E1eso war, appeared in
last Saturday's number of Harper'e Weekly
All Europeans in the East, he says, get their
news of the war from the English and
American press, so thab we, in this coun-
try, actually know more about it than
they .clot, altttough..thsy aro en, the grouted.
The reason 6f this is, that the Japanese
officials fear a revolution if the terrible loss
of life suffered in the, battle were made
known. This is Japan's firth war. Her
warriors used to battle hand to hand. Her
people will nob understand such tremend-
ous losses of life as modern warfare entails.

Unhappily for China, it eannot'be said
that her army inspires either admiration or

ernment for horses was loud in the land.
Even the dray horses and omnibus horses
in Tokyo had been impressed into the
service. At Kobe the railway held
by the government to be exclusively used
for the transportation of troops to the ships
that were to take them to Korea. Nearly
all—a force of ' 150,000 men—had already
gone, and the government was mainly using
the railway for the carriage of the winter
uniforms of the men. : This great force com-

Germany. All the uniforms are European,
and all the arras and accoutrements are of

soldiers fit them almost as if each man had

The officers are in many oases positive

It is a fine sight to see a Japanese brigade
or battalion marching through the country.
A very impressive thing is to hear them
singing the new war -songs that their com-

songs is sometimes classical Japanese, but
it has been arranged in European measure

This Chap in Leipsic Has the Appetite or
an Ostrich.
Leipsic has a sensation just now in the
person of Strazini, who has kept the medi-
cal profession in a state of excitement ever
since he made his appearance there. Strsz-
ini astonishes his audiences by first eating
a soup which consists of sawdust,plentifullY
mixed with coal oil. The mess is set afire
and after the flames have been extinguished.
Strazini eats the peculiar mixture, ladling
it out with a spoon, writes a Leipsic corre-
spendent.
He follows this up with biting piece after
piece from the lamp chimney, crushing the
glass between his teeth and swallowing it.
He washes it downs with atittle water. For
dessert he munches pieces of hard coal,peat,
washing soap, tallow candles, pieces of
plaster cast and bricks, boots, clay pipes,
and seems to enjoy the conglomeration. All
this is eaten at one meal and in quick sue.
cession. A little' water is the ouly bever-
age in which he indulges during that meal.
Strazini asserts that he does not feel : the
slightest discomfort from this unusual diet,
and he certainly looks it, When he has
finished his dinner of cetamics he pours.
down two cups of coal oil, throws his head.
back, and holds a lighted match to his
mouth. There is a deep, puffingsound,and
a flame, three feet long, leaps from his
mouth.
After eating, Strazini gives an exhibition
of dancin , at wonderful as what has gone
before. He does it with bare feet in a box

paper umbrella, and puts it ti when it
rains. - When the sun shines he slings his
umbrella over his baok. From the banners
above their heads to the cumbrous shoes on
their feet they are a tawdry, shabby,' dis-
or3erlylot, a terror to whomsoever they
pass on the roads, undisciplined, ignorant,
ridiculous. To imagine them resisting a
solid line of well-trained, well -armed sol-
diers is like imagining the sun to be a
pumpkin.
I cannot see that the masses .here, are
much excited over the war. I pointed to a
placard of a mineral -water company on a
wall of the Astor Rouse here in Shanghai,
and asked a Chinese. boy if it was not
Japanese. By way of reply he walked up
to the placard, tore it down, and threw it
on the floor. I walked away, and in half
an hour, when I returned, he has hung it
on the wall again. In the European city of
Shanghai a stationer displays a map of
Korea, and I notice that there is always a
crowd of coolies in front of it, studying it.
In the old Chinese city of Shanghai I have
seen a vender selling, or trying to sell,
Chinese colored prints about the war. He
stands in a sort of cage fronted by thick
wooden bars, and a great crowd of coolies
stands every day and all day pressed up
against the bars studying the extravagant
prints. " Hai -yah :" is the most that they
say, and that is merely what they would
exclaim at. sight of a five -legged cat, or
a wheelbarrow tip up and unload a
passenger in the street. They do not seem to
buy the prints though they are offered at
only twenty Dash or two cents each, and
they represent a fearful demolition of the
Japanese. The Wo-Jin(dwarf slaves), as.
the Emperor called the Japanese in his
declaration of war, are seen to be wading
ashore from their men-of-war, under a
fearful blast of red fire from the Chinese
forts. The dwarfs are also pictured as
down on their knees in serried ranks,
imploring mercy from the Chinese warriors
—and yet nobody cares to buy them. The
rich merchants and the officials who under-
stand the situation, are reported to be very
solicitous for the Chinese cause, and very
downcast at this particular time.
