in the absence of the r1Son, which at present

IN The daytime, for those who know

Jupiter is to the spectators left from the

glowing light on the right OF them is Saturn.
His rings and moons give the telescopist a
rich vision of celestial beauty. Not far

away in the depths of space to catch the at

Prince Arisugawa No Muja, the uncle OF

left Japan last summer TO be present as the
representative of the Emperor OF Japan at
the coronation OF the Emperor OF Russia.
In the interim he has visited most OF the

Japan by way of the United States. Prince
ArisugaWa represents that branch OF Inc
imperial family of japan most closely
allied to the emperor. He as the highest IN
rank of any Japanese who has hitherto Wis
tied Europe or America. At various times
he has occupied several of the moot impor-
tant stations in the emperor's gift. At pres
ent he is the field marshal OF the empire.

the war of 1868, which resulted in full
of the imperial power, and in |
the Saisuma rebellion eight years later, the |
most formidable outbreak against the gov |

Prince Arisugawa was field marshal and had |
chief command of the imperial forces. To !
his ability was largely due the successful
issue Of both these crises.
