merit of her sail and spar plan.
The most plausible-sounding definition OF
her above-deck arrangement was the ulti-
matum of a Gloucester fishing schooner
captain, who, after preliminary and we'll
aimed expectoration. announced that
"Bgosh. she's a double maphrOdite brig,
an nuthin' elsei" That appears to be
about as near as anyone has yet been
known to come to the rank of the vessel
Certainly she is not a four -masted ship;
nor yet four masted bark or barkentine
though surely she has four huge masts
This lime juice perplexity is named Olym-
pic, and the oddity in her rig Is that the
two forward masts are square rigged, while
the two after masts are arranged for fo-e
and aft sails, with the customary schooner
single spar topmasts mounted above the
hounds
A very salty-looking bucko seaman
aboard the Olympic, being asked what he
would call her rig, squinted aloft several
times, and then hesitaungly answered.:

The Olympic was the first vessel in the
world TO be rigged as she is, although one
English bark since has been altered into a
similar style. Captain Gibbs says that he
has found many advantages in the arrange

Conscription and universal liability to
military service has existed in Japan since
1877. The service is three years with the
colors. four more on permanent furlougb

years in the landwehr Of mobile militia,
and the remaining eight years in the land
strum Of sedentary militia. The young
japanese who passed a certain educational
standard and engaged 20 feed and clothe
himself during his service is required TO
serve for one year only. These young men
furnish a class Of officers for the militia.
Japan's system is also strictly terrific

bers serving with the colors in 1898 were
in round figures. 5000 officers and 81. 600
non on-commissioned officers and men But
the japanese army is undergoing a con-
tinuous and steady increase. At the end
Of 1894 the numbers we're 800 officers and
90 600 men; so that the strength was in
creased by more than 200 men within
three years. This increase has been ef-
fected by gradually adding to the number
Of conscripts enrolled in each year.

be completed by 1901, by which time the
