of the dwellings of its people are still
filled with the debris of their building

continually discovering objects of the
greatest interest and value. Not long
since the peasants unearthed splen-
did ancient Greek statue, but being ig
nOrant Of its value, destroyed it. Some
formed large numismaric collections
of the Scythian and later periods. In
a tumulous near the BorystheneS was
found a vault-like chamber containing
a skeleton Of a chief, supposed to be
of the Scythian period. 1t lay on a
stone slab, with extended arms. About
the neck were four finely worked gold
and amber necklaces and about the
wrist bracelet of pure gold. AT
tire hip bone was a knife, or sword,
Near the skull was found a bow case,
with thirty bone arrows in a quiver.
Many ancient sites were discovered,
their number and extent indicating
that this region was at one time pop
ulous and flOurishing one and intimate
ly connected commercially with the
Greek world. These sites Of old cities
have this in common-that they are all
on the steep bank of the river, which
forms a natural defense against sur
prise or attacks on one side and on
the other three sides are surrounded by
in n good state of preserya-
ton. Various ages are represented.
In some cases the ruins belong TO 4
period already ancient in Herodotus'
day. Others are Of the time of the
Greek emperors, who had Constantine
pie for their capital, and others still be-
long to the period when the GenoeSe
had flouriShing colonies on the shores
Of the Black sea. In the coming year
the Russian government will, it is said
have the various ancient sites in the
Provinces of Kherson and Taurfda
more fully examined, and it is hoped
that some solid facts will be obtained

THAT KIOTO COYOTE.

If 'free trade were not already
dead and liberal tariff beyond i'm.
mediate resurrection Japan would
stand a menace TO every industrial
article Of America. That ''free trade
would bankrupt the United States al
| the present juncture and liberal
| tariff" at least paperize it, few can be
found TO deny. The great Kioto ex-
position in Japan still may serve as a
| good object lesson TO Americans.
Travellers tell US of the wonderful
multitude and variety of the manu-
| factures in which Japan has begun 10
compete with the United States and
Europe. And this in a country just
emerging from a great war. Wonder
full progress in almost every practical
art is evidenced in the exhibits In
the production Of chemicals Japan is
well advanced. Nearly every requi-
site of the manufacture of drugs and
medicinal preparations is obtainable
in the Mikado's realms. Matches are
made on an enormous scale and they
are wonderfully cheap. Already the
Japanese match holds the markets of
the East, to the exclusion of the cheap
er kinds from Europe. With remark
able success avaSt number of articles
formerly from Europe, are now made
in Japan. Among these may be men-
toned finely-finished sets of surgical
instruments, dentists chairs. fine tools,
lenses made of crystal, Photographic
apparatus, anatomical preparations,
cutlery, agricultural machinery, musi-
cal instruments. umbrellas, buttons,
toilet articles, jewelry, enameled kitch-
en- utensils lamps, scales, watches.
toys, printing presses, leather work of
all sorts, etc. These articles are made
doubtless, in part with improved ma
chinery, but the Japanese are rapidly
producing the machinery for making
everything. They assimilate ideas
and methods appropriate with Oriental
nenchalence devices protected with
patents in other countries. And what
they make they make we'll and at pric-
es that enable them to undersell the
west. They occupy unique industrial
position. Possessing the most modern
machinery and all of the science of the
west, with the cheap labor of the east,
and paying no royalties, they are with
in easy reach of the vast populations
Of China and India, TO say nothing of
the more distant markets of America
and Europe. Every large city of the
United States has already its Japan
eSe store" where Japanese wares are
sold in competition with the wares of
the rest Of the world. To a large eX-
tent the competition is now in articles
of kinds which the Japs have been
manufacturing for hundreds of years,
but there are not few of kinds not
used at all in Japan and made ex-
pressly for the American market
