ALTON CVENINGTELEGRAPH FRIDAY JUNK s. If any Altoiiiaiir- think of gointf to live- it wil1 to be best lor them not lu go to sleep church. A judge of that city fined a young man $10 for snoring in church. and termed it a "breach of the peace." The young man has determined. to appeal the case to the Supreme court, but we venture that those grave and venerable seniors will not sustain the lower court, because, because-- well, they probably snore themselves occasionally.

When, the Japanese fleet attacked the Russians in the harbor of Port rthur on that February morning in 11)04 the Russians claimed that it was unfair and that the Japanese struck a blow of war before declaring war. This is no doubt true. It is now beginning to appear that the Russians were just as much surprised last Saturday when attacked by Togo in the Straits of Corea as they were at Port Arthur fifteen months ago. The Russians were not, evidently looking for a meeting and when they were attacked the Russian admiral lost his reckoning. Being attacked first by scores of torpedo boats the Russians were confused and were unable to put up a better defense than they had done in the first encounter.

The ever readiness of the Japanese has been one of the signal weapons in their hands. The ever unpreparedness of the Russians has been their downfall, Steel Railway Ties. A recent dispatch announced that an order had been given for the manufacture of enough steel ties to equip eight miles of track for the Pennsyl- viana road, and for the same amount for the Pittsburg Railway Company. The fact that a larger quantity was not called for might be due cither to considerations of economy or to a conviction that further experiment was desirable before a larger investment was made. Perhaps both influences operated.

The time is probably not far distant when the growing scarcity of timber and the limited life of even a chemically treated wooden tic will render the adoption of a substitute necessary but at present in most parts of this country wood is still the cheapest. Far sighted railway managers in America as well as in Europe have long been alert to the possibility that they would sooner or later be obliged to use a different material, and many trials of steel for this purpose have been made in the last twenty years. These leave no doubt concerning its fitness 'for the service required, but it remains to be seen whether a perfect form has yet been evolved, although the Patent Office files show that an variety of pattrrns have- already been iinented. In the first place, different means fastening a rail to a lie are required when the latter made, of metal from those needed when wood is employed. On otie point alone ingenuity has been remarkably active.
