THE RUSSO-JAPANESE WAR: ISOLATION OF PORT ARTHUR— ONi THREE SIDES IS THE SEA, ON THE FOURTH THE ENEMY. The central picture is a bird's-eye view of the Kwan-Tung Peninsula, and gives the reader a capital idea of the position of Port Arthur and its fortifications, as well as its relation to the different landing places, the names of which have figured so prominently in connection with the operations of the Japanese. The long views of Port Arthur at top and bottom are continuous: half the lake appears in one view, half in the other. Both views "are taken from the point marked "A" on the bird's-eye view—one looking to the N.E., and the other S.E. In the lower view the town stretches to the N.E. in the direction of Dalny, the large commercial city formerly known, as Talienwan. The picture, which if* from a recent panoramic view, shows the Russian extensions since the time when it was in the hands of the Chinese, who -were themselves using it as a naval base. On tihe left is a small key map, giving the position of the Kwan-Tung Peninsula shown on a large scale in the bird's-eye view; on the right is a plan giving the depths in fathoms round the Kwan-Tung Peninsula.—From the Sphere.
