 American and European visitors to Japan speak with admiration of the public baths of that country. In the City of Tokio there are between 800 and 900 public bathing establishments, each Irequented daily by at least 300 people, who pay for the privilege so small Q sum that no one is too poor to afford it. Outside of these baths the Japanese are much given to bathing in their own homes. They are one of the cleanest races in the world.

 There still appears to be considerable opposition to Monsignor Satolli in the Roman Catholic church in this country. The Catholic Review says: The monsignor must be recalled. There never was any need of him here. The American bishops never had any use for him; they did not ask for him, and when he came they did not know what without untruth that they do not know who sent him.

 The Providence Journal would like to zee strikes of railroad employees put on the same footing before the law as mu- tiny at sea. It argues that the reason Ing which justities stern suppression of mutiny applies equally in the other Dase, since the nature of the offense is the same, ill that disobedience to orders or abandonment of work endangers lives, imperils the ship or the train, and interferes with transportation service which is for the common good. The Journal suggests that railroad men be engaged under requirement. to give 8 certain sufficient notice of intention to leave the service. this to be made bind ng by penalties like those now provided for mutiny at sea, and conspiracy to hamper the operation of the road being open to similar punishment.
 The British royal commission on ooa- dust in mines has agreed upon its re- port. The principal recommendation are that blasting with gunpowder be prohibited, and that additional precau- tions be insisted upon with respect to watering, and the removal of dust where there is an accumulation of dry dust in any mine.
