With the object of making the public
libraries in Iowa more popular among
the people, and more serviceable to
them, the recently created State
Library Commission has mapped out a
number of new lines which it purposes
to develop. Most notable among the
plans is the one which contemplates
the establishment of sort of maya
zine clearing house, by which periodical
publications are to be collected from
sources disposed to contribute and dis
tributed to the smaller libraries and
schools throughout the State. This IS
not alone in recognition OF the tact
that the department of periodicals IS
one Of the most generally patronlzed
branches of public library, and keeps
the library in close touch with the peo-

The emperor of Japan has done
much for the advancement of women
in his dominion. He not only abol-
ished the custom of women staining
their teeth and shaving their eyebrows.
but he recognizes them as being intel
lectually fitted to be the helpmeets and
companions of men. His wife not only
shares his throne but is consulted by
him on matters of national Importance.
Moreover, she sits at his table, an
honor given to none of her predecessors.
The empress is a highly educated wo-
man and keen admirer and a CORE
Epondent of the Empress Frederick of
Germany. She is an excellent horse
woman and takes advantage of the
gymnasium in the palace, which was
fitted up for her special benefit. The
Tokyo Womans hospital conducted on
the latest scientific principles, is an in
stitution of which the empress is
patroness and in which she takes a
lively interest.

An old ecclesiastical dignity, that of
1nitred abbot, will soon be revived in
England. Mitres will be conferred upon
the abbots in the new Westminster Ca
thedral shortly after the opening, and
the ceremonial Is expected to be Of a
most impressive kind. DR.. Gasquet
will be among the recipients. There is
already one mitred abbot In England
the Right Rev. Wilfrid Hipwood, of the
Cistercian Abbey at Coalville, near
Leicester. The jurisdiction of these
dignitaries is purely monastic, as is in
dictated symbolically by the fact that
the crook of the crosier, which is made
of carved wood, is turned inward. They
have the right to confer the tonsure and
minor orders on their own monks

F. Larraque has recently made some
interesting observations of the mechan-
ism of hearing. He studies the action
upon the ear of sounds produced by
the bowling of string stretched by a
vessel containing water which slowly
flows away and thus releases the ten
sion very gradually. He finds that
when the sound is conveyed to the two
ears through hearing tubes two dis
tinct impressions are created and there
is no interference whatever by the
phase of the two sound waves. This,
he concludes, shows that the auditory
apparatus of any one ear acts indie
pendently of the other.

General MacArthur's recent order. The news
that nine Of the insurgent leaders had taken the
oath Of allegiance to the United States was re-
ceived with extreme qualification by the Pres
ident and his advisers, who are hopeful that the
example OF these influential leaders viii be
speedily followed by the insurgents generally.
At the same time it is keenIy realized that the

In reply to inquiry to-day. Adjutant-Gen-
eral Corbtn said that the average effective
strength Of the Regular regiments in the Philip
pines is great that OF the 9th Infantry
which sailed for China yesterday with thirty
nine officers and 1, 271 enlisted men. making an
aggregate strength of 1910. II II should be
found necessary to send two more regiments OF
infantry to Northern China within the next ten
days the effective American strength there. in
Guiding marines, would amount to five thousand
men or more, fully equipped and thoroughly
seasoned by active field service Each battalion
IS well supplied with machine guns, which would
be of great service in operations either against
Chinese rioters or disciplined troops. The num-
Der Of men mentioned would form two strong
brigades-strong. indeed, compared with the

sources TO the effect that the future of the open
door policy may largely depend on whether
firm attitude, accompanied by a suThclent eXhl-

in the presence of the representatives Of the
other Powers in Northern China, some of which
