JAPANESE NEWSPAPER LAW.

The new law regulating the press
ybich has Just been issued by the Jap
anese government, and is to remain in
force for six months, is much more leni
ent than the regulations formerly in
force But there are certain restrictions
which ifinsisted upon, will, or would IN
this country, make 1T necessary for the
patent outsiders to shut up shop. An
amount of ready cash which would make
tie average country editor disposed to
DO anything except run newspaper,
must be put up as a forfeit, bond for
good behavior and heavy penalties for g
violation of the rule, are prescribed IN
addition. Applicants for permission to
start newspaper must be over twenty
one years old, Japanese subjects, and in
tie full enjoyment of their civic rights
The rule that no official documents OF
any kind may be published, or even al
luded to without the consent of the de-
partment concerned, would prevent any
man reared in the American school from
going into the business in Japan, but
there is no reason why he should object
to the regulation that no newspaper is to
publish an article defending an offense
against the Jaw, even though the law is
confessedly bad. That is wise law and
should be followed everywhere. The prop
er course is 20 secure the repeal of the
Iaw-not to Justify its violation. There
is one other provision which is evidently
the fruit of some rare Japanese wit. II
is that if any person sends denial OF
contradiction of any statement that has
appeared in the paper the editor must
insert it in extenso, in the same type as
the original statement and at the head
of the same column as that in which
the latter appeared. Bat if the denial Is
more than twice as long as the original
statement, the extra matter may be
charged for as an advertisement. The
exceptions to this rule are when the word
ing of the denial is offensive, or if the
denial itself is anonymous. Evidently
Japan is the place for the newspao el

THE AMERICAN MOOSE.
The Nature and Habits of the Largest Ami
mai of the Deer Family.

The Nature and Habits of the Largest Ami
NAL of the Deer Family.
The moose (Alce Annericanus) is really
an elk, being nearly Identified with the
elk of Europe, says The American Agri.
culturist; 1t is the largest animal OF the
deer kind, standing from fourteen TO six
teen feet high at the shoulders and weigh
ing 500 TO 1920 pounds. With head
and ears like an overgrOwn jackass, wide
spreading palmated horns, clumsy, I'M
symmetrical body, and long legs, the
animal is get one of the feetest and most
untiring denizens of the forest. It will
GO ali day at trot which would soon dis
lance good horse; dash through dense
thicket on run as fleet as the wind, and
leap over barriers which would appa
the stoutest eepie-chaser. When driven
to bay it turns on its pursuer and is a
formidable antagonist. These animals
are found sparingly in Maine, where they
may legally be hunted, without dogs,
from the lst of September to the 1st of
January, and few still linger in the
great forest region Of northern New York,
where hunting them at any time is I bso-
lutely prohibited.
They are much more numerous in the
forests of Canada and as far north as
Labrador. Like all other members of
the deer family, they shed their antIers
every winter, and new Cnes grow the
next summer, Additional prongs appear
with each years growth until the animal
has passed the period of its greatest
vigor, when the antlers gradually diminish
year by year. Efforts were made todomes-
ticate these fleet and powerful animals;
but, however mild they may be at other
times, full-grown "bul" moose, when
its antlers are in perfect condition, is in
tractable and dangerous, scoring the
dominion of man. The Wapiti (Cervus
Canadensis), which is commonly called
an elk in this country, is in reality
stag, closely resem bling its European
coDgener of that name.

awaked alarm in official circles. The

The Official Gazette, of Berlin, inter

THE POSTAL TELEGRAPH.
DR.. Green Presents Some Facts to the Com
mittee OH POst0ffices.


WASHINGTON. = DR.. Norvin Green,
president of the Western Union Tele-
graph company, appeared before the
house committee on postOffices to pre-
sent some facts upon the SUBJECT of the
telegraphic system of the country. He
addressed himself to the Hopkins
bill to establish postal telegra phi.
Such an enactment would be, he said, a
monstrous wrong. If the government
contemplated telegraph business was
there any proper way to do but take the
existing property and pay for
it? His remarks, he said, wsre
not made with view TO selling the
Western Union to the government.
| The govern ment did not need a telegraph.
1t would not benefit tho government. The
| Western Union did not want to sell, but
its purchase was the only proper basis on
which the government could go into the
telegra phi business. 1t should take all the
existing properties and do the business
exclusively.
