SEEDS FROM JAPAN.
Selected for Experiment In This

The Agricultural Department Seek

Plant 10 Common Use
Here.

Prof. S. A. Knapp. the special COM
missioner of Secretary Wilson to the
orient &c investigate the availability Of
eastern plants and seeds for common
use in this country and secure speci-
mems of those that are valuable. has
submitted his preliminary report sum
ming up the work.
There are a number Of seeds and
plants selected for experiment with u
view TO common usage here, and they
include persimmons. the eastern prod
uct of which is a far more edible fruit
than ours; bamboo, Japan plums, pears,
camphor trees and hagi. All the per-
simmon and pear seedlings have
reached here and have been distributed
to experiment stations.
As to the persimmons. Prof. Knapp
found very few varieties sufficiently
tested TO be worthy Of Introduction.
A few, however. were secured. The
persimmon, the report shows, Is the
most universally used Of the fruits in
Japan. This makes the first importa-
ton of the seedless variety Of the per-
simmon. which is dried and preserved
like a fig. Some plums were purchased
in Japan for h~ybridizing our native
plums-
The bamboo is used in japan for m
infinite variety of purposes, and it is
even a table delicacy. Whether the
American taste will be trained to use
the bamboo as a food is not ycntured,
but the report says IL will thrive in
many OF the southern states and be OF
great value in many ways. Among

The japanese pear brought here is
very hardy and is largely used to graft

vantage il has over the American pear
is that it is said 10 he proof ngainst

because this variety will stand the frost

IRISH INDE.CENCY.
The Amazing Assertion Ii Made That
Gaelic Is Unft to lie 4
Taught. |

The modern movement for promoting
the study of the Irish language is not
universally approved, even in Ireland.
On one side are arrayed the forces of
the Gaelic league, while prominent
among those on the other side are two
eminent Irish educationalists, Drs. Ma
haffy and Atkinson, both Of Dublin
university. The evidence of DIR. Ma
haffy is perhaps somewhat discounted
by his admission that he knows moth
ing of the Irish language. The attitude
of DIR. Atkinson, however, is looked
upon as a more serious matter, as he Is
probably the greatest living authority
on the Irish language. His opinion is
that the mass of cxtant Irish literature,
in which he includes modern folklore,
is too indecent to be taught indiscrim-
inatcly. This is n somewhat new OBJ
lection, and the Gaelic league are up in
arms against the distinguished profess
sor. Meanwhile another weekly paper
in Gaelic, to be called The Sword Of
Light, is about 10 be started.
DIR. Atkinson's statement has aroused
Mr.. Alfred Mutt, the well-knOwn pub
Usher, and a member of the council of
the Irish Text society, TO a fine pitch
of Indignation. Mr.. Mutt, who will not
even admit that DR.. Atkinson is the
greatest living authority on the Irish
.anguage-although he includes him
within the first three or four-declares
hat no one wants 10 put uneXpurgated
IRISH literature before boys and girls,

indecent" is infinitely less than in the
classical languages and in many Euro
pean tongues-which seems rather a
begging OF the question.
Moreover, he declares that what OF IL

may be called indecent is so because il
is primitive, and not because il is cor
rupt-which, again, seems to be a not
wholly satisfactory explanation. How
ever, every one will agree with Mr..
Mutt that nothing should be easier than
TO make a characteristic selection of
what is most remarkable in Erse and
at the same time quite suitable for the
use OF the young men and maidcns who
are prepared TO devote themselves to
the study of ancient Irish. Again, as
Mr.. Mutt very naturally points out, if
all folklore were to be ruled out of
modern use when, in its primitive form,
il could be hardly used as a school text
book, what would become of the Ara
bian Nights" and other delights Of the
Observation-Disclosures Chronicle.
