OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

The coast of Japan, Notwithstanding
its long shore line and numerous har-
bors. offers scant allurement to an in
vading army. There is very little
beach. The bold crags and bluffs over
looking every spot where modern
war vessel can ride ut anchor are pro-
tected by strong Notifications defended
by the most modern guns.
Yeddo bay, the most feasible blight
for invading purposes, needs careful
navigation even by steamers of moder-
ate draft. When torpedOes are planted.
it is simply impregnable. says writer
in Golfers Weekly. When the war
with China broke out, small steamer

ers up and down the bay. 1 remember
perfectly the unexpected curves made

countless dangers besetting a hostile

TransIator.' stumbling Blocks.

Some amusing instances of trans
lators' MISUNDERSTANDING are mention
ed by the London Daily News. An
Italian paper not long ago turned Mr..
Rudyard KipIing's "Absentminded Beg
gar" into a DISTRACTED Mendicant''
A footnote to the same version explain
cd ''son Of n Lambeth publican as a
reference to Mr.. Kruger! The trans
lator who explains is often lost.
Another Italian editor who translat-
ed a passage from an English paper
about n man who had killed his wife
with a poker added an ingenious foot
note to say, I'VE do not know with GER
tainty whether this thing 'pokero' be a
domestic or surgical instrument"
In the French version of one of
Scott's novels Welsh rabbit has TO be
dealt with. The translator, never hav-
ing met with that article of food. nat
urally turned it into "un lapin dc
GALES" Unfortunately he had some
doubt whether his countrymen would
understand this and added lengthy
footnote describing how the peculiarly
delicious flavor of the rabbits of Wales
created a large demand for them in
Scotland. whittier they were exported
in bulk that would compare with the
trade OF Ostcnd.

An impartial woman.

"This is the grave of The most Impair
tial woman on record" said the guide
in Cave Hill cemetery to party who
visited the beautiful cemetery the 9th
er day. Away over that second knoll
there is a lot containing only two
graves, and the headstone of each is
marked Father
1.-THE woman who is buried here was
married twice, and the two graves in
that lot are the graves of her two hus-
bands She tried her best to treat her
second husband as she did the first,
and even when he died she had no idea
of showing any preference. But she
was sick when the funeral service of
her second husband was held. She di-
rected that the partner of her second
matrimonial venture be laid by the
side of the first, but that enough space
be left to bury her between the two.
by some hook or crook a mistake
was made. and when she visited the
cemetery she found that they were
buried side by side, with no space be-
tween.
"Well, sir, she didn't know what to
do. She argued that If she should be
buried by the side of her first husband
ii would not be fair to the memory of
her last spouse, and vice versa. What
did she do? Why, when she died she
left n request that she be buried in an
other lot, away from both of them, and
Ii was needed" - Louisville Courier
