2arture every day. The latest venture
Of the enterprising authorities of the
Flowery Land is in the direction Of
architecture, matter in which up 70
the present Japan has been particularly
conservative
It will be remembered that the Grown
Prince Yoshihito was married a short
time ago and amid universal rejoicing
1t has been found that there is no place
sufficiently magnificent to accomme
date the royal couple, and it has, there
fore, been decided to build near Tokh
a dwelling which shall rival in splel
dor anything existing in the East and
possibly even surpass the royal palaces
of Europe and the magnificent strue
lures of America.
To achieve this object it was neces
sary that Japan's architects should SEE
some Of the buildings of the West, and
accordingly Prof Toro Iwamura and
Mr.. Sano, the former a member Of The
Toxic Academy of Fine Arts, and ts
later an architect in the employ of The
japanese Government, have started %
a tour with this purpose in view Aftt
visiting various cities in the Unita

unit rule prevented Clay's nomination in
stead of William Henry Harrison. In
1874 the Wings nominated him by accla-

dered by inducing him to favor the an

Y7 7 is the very essence of presidential
election that some candidate must get
left. Some one must be disappointed.
And in the history Of the republic many
great men have sought and lost this COW
eted prize. Three great names stand out
prominently in the list--Clay, Webster
and Blaine-each the idol Of his party,
each the victim of political scheming.
Aaron Burr, just hundred years ago,
missed the presidency by the narroWest
margin He was an adept in political
intrigue, with magnetic personality and
a brilliant mind that won him equal favor
in the eyes of the voters with Jefferson.
Each received seventy-three votes and
this threw the election into the House OF
Representatives. Thirty-6ve ballots were
taken without result.
\ The Federalists were anxious to defeat
jefferson and they gave their support to
Burr until the thirty-sixth ballot. Then,
Burr refused to give pledges required OF
him, their support was withdrawn and
Jefferson was chosen. In accordance
with the law of those days Burr became
Vice-President. But he was disap-
pointed man. Following his defeat for
the presidency came the fatal duel with
Hamilton, the Blennerhasset scandal, his
traitorous attempt to divide the country,
his temporary exile and social obscurity

The fact that the population of Ari-
iona has increased 104.9 per cent in ten
years in significant. It points to a
great future, under the growing system
of irrigation, which is turning much of
the territory into a garden of Eden.
Arizona produces oranges, figs, al
monds, pomegranates and other semi
tropical fruits. 1t has the largest fig
orchard in the United States, and in
every portion of the territory where
irrigation has been introduced the des-
ert has been made to blossom and bear
abundantly. This part of the great
Southwest, says the author of THE
Conquest of Arid America" bears a
striking resemblance to the land of
Egypt, except that the irrigation is not
natural, but must be forced With the
methods now known and which are con-
stantly being improved, Arizona will
doubtless become one of the most IA
vored spots in the United States, in
stead of being, as she once was, the
most dangerous part of the great
American desert"
