Judging from the tone of the native
press in commenting upon the Masam-

gathering force and depth ever since

progress of her naval armament pro-
gram the consciousness of her growing
strength is affecting the nation, while
at the same time the conviction that
with completion Of the Siberian rail-
way the hour for successful revenge
will have passed makes Japan NOR
bidly sensitive at the news of any
fresh Entertainments of the Russians
in northeastern Asia, and especially in
Korea.
Very little doubt now exists that

SETTLEMENT AS TO SAMOA.
Solution Of the vexed Question II Ar
rived At.

London, Nov. Although the exact
terms Of the agreement are still care
fully guarded, the Associated Press is
able to say that the Samoan question
is practically settled, and that the
finalities will take place within few
days, unless some unexpected hitch
occurs.
1t can be said that American control
Of Tutuila Island confirmed and agreed
to, while the United States has, 1t is
understood, slgnified its approval OF
the projected arrangements between
Germany and Great Britain. Regard
ing the details of the latter, the British
foreign Office remains mute, except to
authorize the statement that none OF
the recent surmises of the German
press have correctly outlined the plan.
which now seems sure Of acceptance.
United States has been IL. any way
neglected in the negotiations. 1t is
pointed out that the United States,
having secured Tutuila Island, OBJ
tanned all she expected or desired, but
though thoroughly satisfied, she was
kept conversant with and always has
been consulted about the negotiations
which proceeded between Germany and
Great Britain.
Last week it was believed that an
impasse had been reached and the
diplomats were inclined to fear that
no settlement was attainable in the
near future. The sudden turn in the
negotiations and the overcoming Of the
apparently unsurmountable obstacles
created almost as much surprise as
qualification. OF course 1t Is still
within the limits of possibility that an
other and entirely unexpected contin-
gency may arise during the interim OF
the drawing up of the papers and sign
ing of them. But, there Is every rea-

EARTH-EATERS.
A Georgia Negro Woman Discovered Who
Eats Clay as Many savsges DO.

Eats Clay as Many savsges DO.
A negro woman employed In the
capitol at Atlanta has been arrested
for eating some extra fine specimens
OF kaolin that were on exhibition In
the rooms Of the State Geological Sur
vey. A number of the pieces Of clay
were missing and the imprint Of teeth
were found upon some Of the other
specimens. Detectives at last discov-
cred that the culprit who was feasting
on geological exhibits was the colored
scrubwoman, and II was evident that
she had been indulging her strange ap-
petite for quite while. The custom
Of eating earth is practiced In widely
separated regions, and Is particularly
In vogue among the negroes and Amer
lean Indians, and has even been OBJ
served in Europe The ahthropol-
ogist Lasch says that German quarry
men spread clay on slices Of bread and
eat 1t with evident relish. A certain
kind OF earth that is found in Persia
Is considered an epicurean dish. and in
the Malay archipelago there is an
earth known as "ampoh," which Is dug
by some natives who sell 1t to the peo-
pie as food. The practice Of earth
eating has spread to a considerable ex-
tent in China, New Caledonia and New
Guinea, and Humboldt observed 1t In
various parts Of South America. Some
anthropologists tell us that among
many savage peoples pregnant women
are particularly disposed to the habit
Of eating earth and clay. In Guate-
mala, during certain religious cere-
monies, the faithful are often seen to
devour statuettes made Of clay. and the
practice In that country therefore Is
allied to religious superstition. This
barbarous habit OF earth eating is most
injurious and is said to often result In
consumption. Inflammation Of the liver
and anemia.
