JAPAN'S ENTERPRISE.
Money Appropriated to Teach
Americans How 70 Make Tea.

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. D. Several months
ago th" Japanese Tea Guild sent to this
country special commission to investigate
the condition Of the Japanese tea trade in
the United States and Canada. and to coop
crate with its American representatives, in
giving publicity to the merits OF Japanese
teas and the best methods Of preparing
them. Tea baZaars ar" to ue opened in
many Of the principal cities in the United
States and Canada where ladies' cun enjoy
cup of fine Japanese tea mad" by experts, and
AT the same time receive instructions which
will enable them to make II equally well at
home More than half the tea consumed in
the nited States and Canada is Of Japanese
growth, Vet most Americans apparently do
not understand how to prepare it SO as to
develop its delicious qualities. The Japan
e,e government has appropriated large
fund to aid in prosecuting this educational
work. The Japanese Tea Guild has issued
this official recipe for making japanese tea.

When using Japanese teas. pour on the
required quantity Of fresh boiled water and
let stand with closed lid from two to three

WASHINGTON, d. G., oct. a preli-
lninary estimate rs to the cost of an armor
plate plant will he submitted to Secretary
Long the latter part of this week 10y the
armor factory board. This estimate will.
from present indications. state that more
than $4,000, 900 will be necessary To-
defray the cost of buildings aud the
purchase and fitting of tools. The
board will estimate that at least 50
acres of ground will be necessary. so that
the total cost OF the plant will be about -
900. 600. Sucha plant as the board will suggest
will be capable of turning out G0O0 tons Of
armor each year. or sufficient for two battle
ships. No statement will be submitted as to
the cost of operating the plant, but member
of the board says the government would he
fortunate if it did not pay 500 or $500 ON an
average for each ton Of HrmOr. Carnegie
and others are willing to make the plate at
about une-half that figure.

The well-known British statistician,
Mr.. Mulhall, points out i'll paper on
the subject that, relatively to popula-
ton, no European country can vie with
New England in the matter Of manu-
features, the fact being stated that, in
the case of the latter, the value of the
annual output represents 1919 per in
habitant. while i'll the case OF Great
Britain it is but $115, Belgium $88
and France $74. The rate, moreover,
at which manufactures have advanced
in New England he finds to be incom-
parably in excess of the rate IN Great
Britain; thus, the annual value OF
manufactures per inhabitant OF Great
Britain was $111 in 1850, and but $4
more in 1890, while during the same
period in New England it rose from
$1O4 to $319. In other words, British
manufactures in general, during the
last forty years, have done little more
than keep pace with the population,
while those of New England show
ratio per inhabitant three times greater
than that of 1850.

Ir"t of land at No. Is Spring lane, which
she left To her children fer life. and after
them To their children. That was Gi

sold since until last week. when ii was
bought 10y kiddcr Peabody q CO. The
estate is assessed for sac. 500 of which
$4,000 is on the land. In 1880 land and
building were assessed for $500. This
building is the only frame building left
IN the vicinity of the pustutlice. There
are here and there LIS and additions that
are of wood, but this rs the only COM
plete frame building nearer than Dock

the east, Avery street on the south and
Province street On the west. The prop
orty has not been a dead asset, like va
cant land held for the citys growth to
reach it. On the contrary, il now rents
for more than the entire valuation in

Lieutenant Peary did not bring back
the North Pole with him, but the gigan-
tic meteorite which he did bring back
to this city from the polar regions is
really an object of greater mystery and
more abiding interest than the North
Pole will probably be, after once it has
been discovered and made accessible 10
ordinary travellers. That is merely an
invisible geographical expression, ike
the equator or the tropics, or the meri-
dian of Greenwich. But the mOnstrOus
lump of planetary metal which, in some
unknown time, near or remote, dropped
upon our globe from out of the UNI
measured depths of space, is an object
fitted to excite in very sensitive mind
profound emotions, and to stir far
reaching trains of imagination and Of
thought. BY the way, the deep mystery
that Lieutenant Peary throws about has
discovery of relics of the Greedy party
arouses much curiosity. If he found
something concerning which the public
should know nothing he should have
made no mention of the fact of his dis
cOyery. Under the circumstances there
is an immediate revival of the old and
grewsome story that the Greedy party in
it's dash for the pole reSorted to canni-
balism to maintain life. 1t is difficult to
understand how any relics found after
all these years could afford any further
evidence of such an episode, but having
excited public curiosity the lieutenant
is responsible for the popular inference.

The suggestion that the name of the
new Hotel TOuraine DE changed to Ire
mont House comes late. 1t should have
been considered earlier, if at all. There
is very little about the Hotel TOuraine
to make the name of the earlier edltice
appropriate to it unless it be its locality,
and this is a good way from the site of
the original fremont House. The IRE
ment House was at one time the most
important hotel in Boston, but 1t had
ceased to be this before it was raZed to
the ground. Ii would be difficult to re-
call its traditions in the new ediilce 50
radically different in its appointments.
The fremont House belonged to the past.
1t had been most distinguished in its
way, but it is better left memory than
attempted to be continued in an edifce
planned on 50 widely different a scale.
The fremont House represented old Bos-
ton; the Hotel Touraine is a manifesto
ton of cur city in different era. The
two cannot be united and an attempt to
do this would only result in confusing
effects.
