JAPAN NEEDS MONEY.


Tacoma, Wash. Aug. 3.-Japa-
nese papers announce that owing
to the increas Government ex-
penditures the reserve funds are
exhausted, and in case of any ex.
traodinary call through some sud-
den calamity increased taxation
will be unavoidable. The several
departments, moreover, all show
increased estimates for the next
financial year, and it is matter
of exceeding difficulty to frame
the next budget.
II is pointed out that this is the
natural result of Japan's tremen-
dous advance since the Chinese
war. Increased expenditures have
been necessary in every direction
and have not been fully met by
the taxes collected, though several
new money.raising schemes are
being worked, including the
collection Of very unpopulsr
income tax. AS the Chinese
var indemnity is be.ug used
to purchase new naval vessels
in Europe, no relief is obtained
from that source.

stands on a pier of solid masonry. six
teer feet in height, seven feet of
which is underground; the whole rests
on a solid bed of rotten stone and is
totally unconnected with the building
which surrounds and shelters it.
Near by the home of the equatorial
is the transit building containing the
mathematical instruments. In one
end of this is q fourinch zenith tee-
scope of superior finish and design,
which the director uses in carrying on
his observations for the determination
of the variations of the position of the
north pole. The latter does not remain
fixed at one definite spot on the surface
of the earth, but moves slightly accord
ing to a somewhat complicated law.
Its whole range of motion, however,
can be included within a circle of sixty
feet in radius, and, therefore, to de-
termine its path accurately, long
series of most accurate observations
extended over long period of time is
necessary. Such a series has been car
ried on by Prof Doolittle with most
accurate results at his former observ9-
tory at Lehigh university, and such a
series he is now carrying on with the
beautiful new instruments of his pres
ent charge.
In the same building are also four
inch meridian circle and three-inch
universal transit, both mounted so that
their telescopes swing in a north and
south vertical plane. For use in OBJ
| servations made with these latter there
is sidereal clock and a chromograph
The clock was on exhibition at the
Worlds Fair. One of its most distin-
guished features is that by means of
a little electric motor operated by a
battery of six Gordon cells. it winds
itself once every hour, and hence is
independent Of the forgetfulness of
man, requiring no attention but that
necessary to keep the battery in run

ingenuity could devise for the assist

country east of Washington, was made

Mr.. Brashear is the only man in the
world who has developed the art of
grinding glass to such a perfection
that he can produce an absolutely flat
surface. He can grind glass correct to
any given outline within one millionth

suppose that lens of his make would
