partments are all replete with interest
to those who find delight in Modern
Culture.
For the first time in the history of
OF the world a camera has found it's
way within the sacred precincts of
China's famous forbidden city at Pc
king, and it was an American camera.
The audacious artist who handled the
instrument was Sydney Adamson, who
is with the American army in China as
as the special artist and representative
of Leslie's Weekly. In the current is
sue of that publication, among other
photographs of the forbidden city is
one of remarkable interest. It is the
first and only photograph ever taken
of the Chinese Emperor's throne,
known as the "dragon throne" This
isa magnificent piece of ornamental
sculpture in marble, and until the in
trusion of the allied forces into the
forbidden city none but the eyes of the
imperial family had aver rested
on this work of art. Other pictures
of interest in the current number of
Leslie's Weekly, which is known as the
sportsman's edition, include two which
tell "The Happy Hunters Story" (pho-
tographs that will delight the heart of
every sportsman.) Everyone should
read the sportsman's edition of Leslie,s
Weekly.

n suit for damages of much pubic in
terest is pending in the courts OF Chi
cago. 1t involves the right of persons
whose property is injured by smoke
and SCOT to recover damages from the
owner Of the smoking chimney which
is responsible for the injury. So far as
a jury in the original court of entry a
do 1t, the question was decided by the
rendering of a verdict for $1,000
against the n of the New York
Life building in Chicago in favor of n
firm occupying offices in an adjacent
building. The plaintiffs in this case
showed that the dense clouds of smoke
and SCOT pouring from the chimneys Of
the New York Life building had great
ly damaged the furniture and equip
ments of their offices. had actually
driven away clients and had made the
occupancy OF their present quarters al
most an impossibility. The ease goes
on appeal, and If the higher court shall
approve the judgment it may greatly
hasten the solution of the smoke prob
lem in Chicago and furnish a precedent
for legal action elsewhere. If real es-
tate owners are made to realize that
they will be held responsible for DAM
ages done to adjacent property through
the negligence of their agents or en-
ployees, they will be likely in self pres
ervation to see that proper precautions
are taken against the damages result
ant from the smoke nuisance.

one OF the men serving under Ian
Hamilton in South Africa has sent to n
friend in this country a long letter in
which he gives many interesting de-
tails Of war as seen by a highlander in
the ranks. In n passage which shows
that human nature is pretty much the
same the world rel he tells how after
hard and hungry marches over the
veldt he at last found himself stationed
as guard in the house of q mine mana.
ger near Johannesburg. Rations Just
then had fallen from halves to quar-
tiers, but the mine manager had a cook.
Il made the best possible use of my
time" he writes. "She had never seen
a highlander before. but we were soon
the best of friends. and l had the first
good stomachful since l came into the
land Of gold, and l gave the managers
whisky a tidy shake before I came off
guard. The cook was an American girl
and game to the heel. She wanted a
cap badge to make a brooch, and l
stole as many as would make brooches
for ali the cooks in the town. OF course
everything is fair in love and war;
and If your grub depends on your love-
making there is nothing like putting it
on thick. l hung on like a brick for the
four days we were in Johannesburg
and had a splendid time of it. She was
a bit sorry when i was going away,
but not half so sorry as I was" How
often have we seen episodes like this
on the stage, but while we have smiled
or even laughed at the soldiers swift
success with the fair have been wisely
credulous as to the possibility of such
things in real life and actual war. But
evidently they do happen, and thus are
the dramatists justified of their comic
sergeants.

Pan-Amcrican Propositions.

There Is something almost pathetic
in the call which Spain sent out to
the Sc called Latin countries for a con-
gress to be held in Madrid to consider
their commercial and political inter-
ests. South and Central American
countries, with Mexico, are expected
to be represented, while Italy, Portu-
gal and France show their sympathy
with the movement.
1t appears to be an effort on the part
Of Spain to relabilitate herself in
South and Contra! America and to re-
tain something of the prestige and
power which have Slipped away from
her. measurably through her w AFRO
gancc and misgovernment.. While the
peoples Of Latin origin OH this hemi-
sphere may have some lingering fond
ness for the mother country, it will be
exceedingly difficult to convince them
that they have anything to hope for
from a coalition, either commercial or
political, with the efrete. decaying An
dalusian monarchy.
The Latin American states fully rec
ognize that their highest interests lie
in c%ultivating amicable and reciprocal
relations with the countries of their
own hemisphere. The Pan-American
exposition to be held next year in Buff
falo and the Pan-American congress
in the City of Mexico the following
year will be international occasions of
the first Importance dedicated to inter-
continental friendship, peace and pros
perity, and will no doubt accomplish
great good in these directions. MI.
Mariscal, the minister of foreign af-
fairs of Mexico. has aptly said, in
reference to the proposed congress:
Not forgetting that civilization came
TO us from Europe, aud that the great
interests of humanity are one, we
must confess that in America there are
special interests and closer bonds be-
tween her inhabitants, with fewer i'll
ternational complications to secure the
welfare of her peoples"
