For several years the great Powers OF

such an unlocked for cause that. notwith-
standing the fact that European armies are
supposed to be kept practically on a war
footing, not one of them was ready to at

terests. Russia, which had a force only a
few days distant from the Chinese frontier,

The marvellous thing about the readiness
Of Japan to take her part in the general
movement of the world against China Is the
rapid development of her naval and military
resources IN the five years that have elapsed
since she thrashed China at home and on
the seas. Then she had an army of 25eoo
men that gave SO good an account OF Itself
that the unprepared world first gasped with
establishment and then applauded her heart

men were as good sailors as soldiers. The

TO AMUsE THE SHAH.

Many stories are told of the late Shah
of Persia in connection with his last visit
to England, relates the London Times.
One OF these tales, probably more anus
ing than true, Is that he advised the
Prince of Wales quietly to make away
with a certain extremely influential
duke, as the latter was growing too pow
erful to be safe.
But story which is vouched for is the
account Of the Shah's visit to Newgate
prison. While there he suddenly request
ed to see an execution. He was courte-
ously informed that at the present mo-
ment there was no ono under sentence.
