An effort is being made In Japan, backed
up by certain newspapers, to persuade the
Emperor tO visit Europe and America with
a large suite, including a military staff.
The Emperor has never been outside of
Japan, and there are those among his SUBJ
Jets who feel that q little giobe-trotting on
his part would be of advantage to his coun-
try and himself. 1t is not probable, how
ever, that he will leave japan at present.
The expenditure of England for drinks Is

THE TIMES STILL LEADS.
The Circulation of the Star Is Falling

The Circulation of the Star Is Falling
Off-The Public Knows Its Friend.
The aggregate circulation of the Star last
week was 40, AT. That of The Times was
213,165, which shows circulation OF
42,6sS more than the Star. Whether or not
this increase is due to the snarlins OF fiste
dog weekly publications which ''some one"
has set at the heels of The Times would be
difficult 10 determine, but that isquite nat
raj inference.
The Times is decidedly the best daily in
Washington, and the more advertising ii
secures the greater will be its circulation.
II is possible to fool the public occasionally
by insinuations and monkey paw abuse, but
when the object of such attacks is really
deserving there can be but one result-an
increase OF popularity.

Finding Earth's Secrets.

Scientists may some day find rich field
for research in the realm of color, in trying
to discover what emotions are called forth
by special hues. A recent writer claims
that the rich, deep blue of pansy always
has peculiarly poteSt force over him and
he gravely announces that were he ever to
try hypnotizing himself he owuld do it
by the blue of that flower.
1t has been estimated that the tempera-
ture of the sun does not need to exceed that in
one of the ne W electric arc lights in order to
shine as brilliantly and radiate the OBJ
served amount of energy.
The death has recent been announced Of
NJ. Sauria, who invented matches, made of
chlorate of potassium, phosphorus and
sulphur. The veteran scientist who was

government ten years ago for some reward
for his useful discovery, and was granted
the small privilege Of a license to sell to-

GRADE CROSSINGS CRIME.

OF the various electric roads of the
District, the Chevy Chase line is probably
the most substantially built and the best
equipped, and no other one is more care
fully operated. But the doubtless fatal
accident of yesterday, which mangled
Edw ard Means and injured Means COM
paniOn and also the motorInan, shows that
the road is burdened by the same evil
which obtains with all steam ard electric
roads of the District-the grade cross
ing.
1t is too much to expect that Congress
will be SO considerate of the wishes of the
people of the District as to abolish grade
crossings already established, but it may
be prevailed upon TO prohibit them in
granting charters for new roads or exten-
sions. The expense of placing a bridge
either for the railroad or the " agon road
at the crossings where Means received his
apparent fatal injuries, would have been
slight and by it all possibility of such ac
cidents would have been avoided
Killing at grade crossings can hardly
be called accidental 1t is invited by
criminal parsimony of corporations on the
one hand and criminal legislation in favor
of stingy corporations on the other, and
therefore should be placed properly in the
category of crime. The people should mar
Yowly watch the construction of future
charters and see to it that they contain an
absolute prohibition of the grade crossing
within the District limits.

COTTON PODS.

A Southern Woman Making Money
Out of an English Florists Idea.
A young woman from South Carolina
has been paying long holiday visit
to New York, all the expenses Of which
have been betrayed from the outcome
of trihing incident which occurred to
her two years ago. At that time her
sister was at school in England, and,
thinking that the absent sister might
like to see something Of home, she
sent her a cardboard box containing
couple Of twigs Of half-Opened cotton
pods. These were seen by a London
florist Of ideas who found out what
they were and where they came from,
and then commissioned the schoolgirl
to write to her sister, making the offer
of a very nice price for any number
of such sprays delivered to him in good
condition, to be used for decorative
purposes.
The proposition was accepted. and
for two seasons now the young woman
has sent over each year three big
packing-boxes Of prime pods, bought
cheap from her fathers plantation. 1t
rather dashed her good spirits when
she learned that the decorative pur-
poses" for which the half-opened pods
were to be used should really have
read mortuary purposes. the shrewd
florist having conceived the idea that,
tied up in white or pale mauve ribbon,
they would form very pretty emblem
for departed buds and other young
persons. But the draft that aecompan-
led the revelation was so handsome
that It considerably modified the shock,

suits has been long pleasure visit to

When this tube gets infamed you have a

when 1t Is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
