.Iananese in America.

There is strong desire on the part of
young Japanese to come to the United
States to acquire or perfect themselves
in the English language and complete
their education. The welcome given to
earlier students has led many who have
entirely insufficient means to undertake
the journey-to come, indeed, with
scarcely more than enough to pay their
passage to this country. Others, better
provided for, have no idea of the in
creased cost of living here, while many
hope to receive aid from persons who
may become interested in them here or
to find some employment while they are
carrying on their studies.
The practical results are not always
fortunate, and many of the students re-
ferred to would be better off at home.
The reputation of having been educated
in Europe or America has a certain value
at present in Japan, however, and the
Japanese students are, almost without a
single exception, credit to their native
country. Philadelphia Ledger.

Vast Outlay for Railways.

Late Argentine newspapers contain
extracts from a message of ex-President
Pellegrini to the congress Of that repub-
lie, in which he dwells at length upon
the railway problem and states that the
government has paid SIG, 100000 gold in
the form of guarantees, etc., toward the
cost Of building and working the rail
road systems Of that country. Not
until within the last year, says Pelle-
grim, has the government undertaken
to re-establish proper administrative
principles and insist upon the fulfill
ment of laws and contracts. He sug-
gests that the railways ought to have
returned to the state, in accordance
with conditions Of guarantee, a certain
proportion of their gross receipts. Dur
ing the past year 1908 miles of track
have been opened to public service, and
the total length Of lines now working
in the country amounts to 7,67S miles,
Of which 636 miles belong to the nation,
$500 are guaranteed, 923 miles belong
to the provinces and 3,606 miles to pri-
vate companies. 1t is estimated that
$500, 900 gold of British capital has
been invested in the railways Of the
Argentine Republic.

A BULLET HOLE IN HIS HEAD.
Young Farmer of Ogunquit Found Dying
by the Roadside.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H, July 1.-THE
residents of Ogunquit, Me-, are consider
ably excited over the finding of the body
of Hiram Perkins, a young farmer, lying
by the roadside this morning with bull
let hole in his forehead just over the
right eye. Some summer visitors, who
were riding along the road, when near
the Cliff House, noticed a revolver. COW
cred with blood lying in the roadway,
and on making Investigation the body
was discovered lying a short distance
away from the road. When found Per-
kins was alive and he was at once car
ried to the nearest house, and DR.. Cor
don summoned. When the physician az
rived he said that the wound was fatal
and that Perkins had but short time to
live. Some are inclined to think that
Perkins was victim of foul play, but
owing to the fact that he has been on a
debauch for the past two weeks and yes
terday visited this city and drew quite
sum of money which he had deposited in
the savings bank. makes the majority OF
people think thatshe committed suicide.
When they found Perkins he had sew

person that he had drawn from the bank

Islands in the Gulf of California.

An employee of the state department
has given an interesting description Of
two islands situated in the Gulf Of Cali
fornia, which were recently visited by
him. About an equal distance between
Guaymas and La Paz lies the Island of
Carmen, where there is an immense salt
lake surrounded by hills forming a sort
Of crater; the salt deposits mixed with
muriate Of soda lie in stratas, which
begin with thickness of six inches and
increase to about fourteen inches at
fourteen feet below the surface. The
climate is exceedingly hot, and only a
few people live on the island, which is
almost devoid of vegetation except for
the luxuriant cactus growth. The Is
land Of Tiburon, situated an equal dis
lance north of Guaymas, is said to be a
resort Of the Ceres Indians. They are
exceedingly hostile and oppose the land
ing of strangers on what they consider
their domain. Their weapons are poi
soned arrows. The canoes made use Of
by these Indians are of peculiar con-
struction, consisting of long reeds bound
together with strings.

On July 8, Arthur Zimmerman, the
American champion bicyclist, made his
appearance at the games of the Liverpool
police, at Liverpool, Eng, where the
mayor OF the city had offered silver cup
valued at thirty pounds for a Emile
bicycle race. The rules OF the union do
not allow a prize of over ten guineas for
single event, but this problem was
solved to the satisfaction of the mayor
and Zimmerman by repeating the race.
The first time there was large number
of contestants in the field, but the race
really lay between Zimmerman, Sharpe,
of Northampton, and Glazebrook, of
Ashton. On the fifth lap the American
shot ahead and won by II yards IN min
utes 46 AS seconds. In the second race
Zimmerman forged to the front in the
fourth lap, beating Glazebrook by two
yards, Sharpe being third. Time, 5
minutes IS As seconds. The mayor then
presented the trophy to Zimmerman,
while the crowd gave hearty cheers in
honor of the American champion.

TAM O'SHANTER WON.
Bath Ship Shenandoah Beaten by Only
Three Hours.

New YORK, July ia despatch to
the sun says: "The long ocean race be-
tween the American ships Tam O'Shan-
ter and Shenandoah, from New York to
San francisco, was ended this morning,
when the Tam O'Shanter won, coming in
three hours ahead Of the Shenandoah.
Both were Ill days in making the run,
and when the result became known there
was great excitement among shipping
men,, Last fall the Shenandoah, S. d.
Carlton and two British ships raced
from San Francisco to Liverpool for
$1,000 a side. The Shenandoah won, and
the S. D. Carlton was second. When the
Shenandoah began sto load in New York,
and the Carlton in Philadelphia for San
Francisco, Captain Amesbury OF the
Carlton challenged Captain Murphy Of
the Shenandoah to another trial of speed
for the same stakes. The Tam OShan-
ter was loading at Baltimore, and Cap
tain Peabody put up $1,000 against the
$1,000 each put up by the others that he
would beat them into San Francisco. In
actual time Captain Peabody wins, as far
as the Shenandoah is concerned, by
about three hours, but old sailors say
GfldU TWO Gays rs u0dfSl ClC MAJ N WiiOh
the long run down Chesapeake Bay is
taken into consideration.
Both ships carried all their canvas.
After rounding the Horn, the Tam
O'Shanter and Shenandoah were week
in company, and during light winds the
latter would forge ahead, but when it be-
gan to blow the Tam O'Shanter would
make up lost ground. The crews of both
vessels knew it was a race, and took as
much interest in the result as the cap
tains. In talking about the race. Cap
tain Peabody said SIN light wind the
Shenandoah can run away from us, but
with good stiff breeze my ship can sail
around her"
The S. D. Carlton did not sail until two
DAYS after the Shenandoah and Tam
O'Shanter, and may yet win the. race.

worms THAT Raise Tons Of Sand.

Mr.. G. Dawson has examined the
sands between Holyland and the coast
of Northumberland, a large fiat stretch
of beach familiar to most persons who
travel by the east coast route to Scot
land. The observer found that the
number Of castings of sand thrown up
by the lobworms gave an average of
100000 to the square mile. A por-
ton of the castings was weighed, and
the total weight thrown up annually
was thus shown to be, in some places.
about 9O1 tons per acre; at other points
it was good deal less than this; but in
still other parts it amounted to no less
than 8, 146 tons per acre.
If all the sand thus passed through
the bodies of those animals in the course
of twelve months were spread out it
would give an average thickness of not
Less than thirteen inches. How many
and various are the changes produced in
the, sand by the wonderful activity of
these industrious worms it is impossible
to say. But it is easy to see how the
presence Of such creatures in large num-
bers operates with other forces to pro-
duce kind Of order on the surface of
the earth, and to replace crudeness by
beauty.
The thing that strikes one most, how
ever, is the magnitude Of the results
which can be produced in short time
when large number of separate indi
viduals work in cooperation by the
same methods toward the same end

HARRY HoDaK1Ns.

Hodgkins during his six years Of active
work as an athlete, has won no less than
fifty three prizes, most of them firsts.3
His forte is distance running, but at the
same time he has been very successful in
swimming and walking contests. On
June 10, 1891, he won the five-m mile cham
oionship of New England at Worcester,
Mass, and in the fall of the same year he
surprised his friends by coming in second
in the Boston Athletic Associations
rross-country run. Hodgkins is well
built fellow, weighing about 100 pounds,
and despite his numerous victories and
his comparatively long athletic career, is
but twenty one years of age.
