am told that only n small part of japan
Is cultivated, and tho authorities state that
two-tenths of it has as yet not been brought
into use. Still, tho land that havo seen is
SO carefully cared for that this seems almost
impossible. Tho country about Toxic and

and the sewage is carried in buckets and

evening Toxic smells worse than Naples

save that of surface drainage, and it is a

Slcdse Dogs of Kamscllatlka,

kamschatkan dogs are probably tho most
sagacious of all fcral types, and are employcd
and trained i'll tie most careful manner for
the nultltudinous services required of them.
Soon after birth they are placed with their
dam IN Il deep pit, that they may see neither
man nor beast, and, after having been
weanel, are condemned to solitary coafine-
ment for six months, ct the end of which
time they are rut to Il sledge with other dogs,
and being extremely shy and frightened
Witha!, they run Gs fast as they can until
they become blown antl0owed
After this trial trip they are remaa,led 30

temper amazingly, and makes them anything
but companionable. Drivers are frequently
obliged to stun them by blow on the nos.
before embarrassing them on account Of their
savage nature. Eesides drawing sledges they

lnasters warm in winter nights. They are

In tho Streets of Toxic,

The streets Of Toxic are not narrow like
those of China or Of tho older parts of Euro
pean cities. One is not jostled rs he moves
along them, and the crowd of slant eyed
mon and women clad in dressing gowns of
all colors Of tho rainbow is good natured
one, and they laugh and bow low to each
other as they meet, The japanese back is
elastic. The india rubber man at the circus
would wear himself out in Japan, and tn,
japanese bowers seem to never get through.
They salaam and salaam and the lower
classes knock their heads against tho earth
as they 80 down on their knees in paying
their respects to their superiors. 1t bothers
one to be the recipient of SO much attention,
and the American feels his awkwardress
when he attempts tho Japanese bow. 1t is,
however, not unpleasant, and with it all
there is little servility and fawning am
struck with the open, kindly expression Of
II" japanese face. They seem to treat trav-
elers us brothers. They welcome them and
are willing to concede thai there arc other
good things outside of Japan. They arc
manly about it, and the only unpleasant
thing is the curiosity which one e1cites
among them. Whenever walk along the
streets of Toxic crowd of men and boys

tie street is soon bocked.-Frank G. Carper-

Any horse should have rest of a few days
when first turned to grass, but after it has
become used to the new diet it may be worked
carefully. 1t should be driven slowly, for it
will heat up rapidly, and Us it cannot get
rid of the water in its system by evaporation
fast enough it will sweat profuscly. If it did
not it would die. Tho horse fed grain, and
full of fever and congestion, has no water in
its body, comparatively, and of course it can
stand hard usage. The truth is, cows and all
animals would freeze in winter if they were
in tho same physical condition they are in
summer-when fed on grass. While this is
true it is nevertheless necessity that all
animals should have this renewal, which the
succulent foods of tho summer bring about
so well. Tho city man who cannot spare his
team wisely buys punches of clover or green
rye for his horses, which act:as an antidote to
remove fever and helps little.-Ncw York

derful torrent that seems to have been sud-
denly frozen when about to plunge into tho
sea. Wonderfully picturesque is the Innis
glacier, three miles wide and 800 feet high at
its mouth. Think of Niagara falls frozen

and you have slight idea of the terminus OF
the Innis glacier. Picture a background of

and then imagine gorgeous sun lighting up
the snow crystals with rainbow color The
face of that glacier takes on the line of aqua

The ground on which Philadelphia is built
is one of the richest gold fields in the world.
This is fact. The only difficulty is that the
field cannot be worked. Nearly the whole
city is underlaid with clay to the depth of
about ten fcet-an aref say ten miles square.
A cubic foot of clay, weighing 12o pounds,
taken from depth of fourteen feet when the
cellar of the Twelfth street market house YVES
e1cavated, was practically demonstrated to
contain seven-tenths Of grain of gold, or
one pound in 1924 900. The experiment was
repeated with about the same results with
clay taken from brickyard in the suburbs.
Supposing the whole mass Of clay to be
4,1SO,OoO,C0o pounds (and it is really much
greater), the amount of gold would reach in
value the enormous sum of s12G 900. 900. The
gravel is much richer in gold than the clay,
but there is not so much Of it. Undoubtedly
