The Japanese Warrior Who Restored the

Late reports from Japan announce
the death in that country of one of the
most noted Japanese of the presen
century, man remarkable from the
fact that he started revolution which
opposite to those which it had beer
his intention to secure. The name o.
this important pers onage during the
late feudal period of Japan was Shin
adzu Saburo. the head of what wa.
the Satsuma clan, the largest and most
powerful tribal organization in thai
empire; so large. indeed. that its chief
tain was able, in the space of few
days. to put into the field fifty thou
sand well-equiped and well-trained
soldiers. In 1862, four years after hi,
accession to the he adship of his family,
Shin adzu conceived the idea of bring

country. 1t was Shimadzu's opin

that it was necessary for the safety Of
the country to depose him from his
high Office, restore to the practical
government the legitimate ruler. whose
rights had been usurped, and who
would practice that conservative policy
which befitted Japanese monarch.
BY his political and military power,
Shimadzu succeeded in carrying out
his undertaking. The Shotgun was
driven into retirement, and the Mika.

idea of making Japan one of the sis

How These Terrible Storms May Be Large
ly Shorn OF Their Terrors.
The loss of life resulting from the
severe snow-stolms in the Northwest,
during the past winter, calls for seri-
Gus consideration of the best means
of avoiding these dangers in the
future.
The blizzard gives little warning of
its approach. 1t is liable to spring up
in the afternoon of any day, the MORN
ing of which gave promise of being
fair and bright, thus overtaking peo-
pie who may be travelling in any por-
ton of the country, surrounding them
with binding. furious snow, and
causing them to be lost before they
can reach any haven of safety. These
storms, prevailing in a region where
there is a scarcity of trees, no fences,
and few habitations, make the venture
far away from home very hazardous
under present conditions.
1t is clearly evident that some gen.
eral method must be devised whereby
people shall not lose themselves in the
storms. If the farms were generally
1enCeu, lnefe WOtllu De HUG uan ger.
but as a guard against being lost in
snow-storms it is not probable that
people will build fences. The next
best thing as a protection. will be the
setting of trees by the roadsides,
which, in darkness and storms, would
guide people to their destinations
Especially in the vicinity of dwellings
and outbuildings, should they be set,
for the treble purpose of giving shade,
defending against wind, and serving
as guides when lost in the storm.
If unable to obtain and set trees this
coming summer along all the road
sides, the authorities could have posts
set at regular distances, which may
serve as supports to young and grow
ing trees when, in the future, they
are planted. If, through public tax.
remission of tax to those who set their
trees adjoining their lands on the
highways, or by individual public
spirit, sufficiency of trees may be
planted by the roadways and around
the homes, the blizzard will be largely
shorn of its terrors. -Thos. b. Hill, IN

In Garibaldi's forthcoming autobi.

would love me. Without such one
near me. existence was becoming in

But woman! Yes. woman; for ]

may say. it is infinitely easier to find

was walking on the quarter deck OF
the Itaparica, wrapped in my sad
thoughts. and, having reasoned the
matter in all ways, finally concluded
to seek wife for myself. who
would draw me out of this depressing
and insupportable state of things. My
glance fell by chance upon the houses
of the Barra, little hill thus called
at the entrance of the Laguna (of st.
Catherine, in Brazi). on which are
some simple but picturesque dwellings.

to take coffee at his house. We
entered. and the first person on whom
my gaze fell was the one who had

INVISIBLE OBJECTS.
How They Are Rendered Visible by tn
Aid of Photography.


Aid of Photography.
New means for the Photographic
study of the stars has recently been
devised by c. Zenger, which may
probably find other applications in
science. Mr. Zen ger, struck by the
phenomenon that the summit of Mont
Blanc retained after sunset until half
past ten phosphorescent blush APP
pearance. thought it possible to utilize
it for obtaining photograph of the
mountain. For this he projected, by
means of Photographic camera. the
image on plate covered with layer
of Balmain's luminous paint. After
an exposure of few seconds. this
plate was held in contact in the dark
with dry Photographic plate, and at
the end of an hour the image of the
mountain was obtained complete with
all details, as if taken in the ordinary
way. This result permitted conclu-
sions to be drawn that the carbonate
of lime exposed during the day to
brilliant sunshine emitted during the
night invisible but very actiaic
rays. Experiments were made
at Fragile, where very fair
photographs of the buildings sur
rounding the observatory were OBJ
tanned during night time. which seams
to confirm the theory that light can be
absorbed and slowly re-emitted, and
that the images of invisible objects
can be fixed in the darkness by means
of actinic rays. This new process
will, no doubt, be of service in the
preparations of astronomical MAPS
but can be applied to other things.
Ordinary paper also possesses the
property of returning light. and when
impregnated with fuoresce solution.
such as nitrate of uranium, latent pict-
ures can be obtained. which can be
developed months afterward, if they
have been preserved in the dark in
perfectly dry air. Mr.. Zenger has
studied this subject for more than two
years. and has succeed ed in preparing
plates sensitive to all the radiation of
the solar spectrum, from ultra violet
to ultra red He thinks there can be
little doubt that, by rendering the in
visible rays visible through their pho
tographic effects. many fresh revela-
tions about tho constitution # the
universe and its component natural
O biects may be obtained.
