Mr.. w. s. Gilbert was no doubt pri-

10 everywhere prevalent that the EN-.
peror Of Japan is always called the
mikado by his people. Ask nine men
out Of ten what is the official title Of
the ruler of the islands of the chrysan.
themum and they will probably think
they are being made fun Of Assure
them that the question is asked in all
sober seriousness and they will give
that of the title Of Mr.. Gilbert's i'm
perial opera. For all this, the nine
men out Of ten would be wrong. His
majesty is known as 'tenno hei-ka,"
which means This imperial majesty"
Thus the people of Japan address their
sovereign exactly as do the subjects
Of the imperious kaiser. Mikado used
at one time to be the title, for it is the
oldest form of address in use. 1t has,
however, fallen into allegiance for sew
er'al generations.

yapan's Mountains.

AL the mountains Of Japan are OF
unQuestioned volcanic origin, and Fujl
stands where Hondo, the main island,
is broadest. About twenty craters are
still active throughout the islands, but
Fuji-san belongs to the much greater
number which are now inactive. Its
last eruption occurred in 1907, contin-
uing more than a month. AS far away
as Tokyo, sixty miles northeast, the
ashes fell to depth Of seven or eight
inches, while on the Tokaido, twelve
or fifteen miles southeast, the accu-
mutation was six feet. At this time
was formed Ho-yei-san, a secondary,
or parasitic. cone on the southeast
slope.
No other mountains in Japan reach
within 5000 feet of the elevation Of
Fuji, and it is therefore in prominent
view from an immense area. including
thirteen provinces of the empire. Ger
tain avenues in Tokyo are called Full
mi. or Fuji viewing streets, and from
all Of them the famous peak is a giori-
Gus spectacle. All winter long the sum-
NIT of Fuji-san is unapproachable, and
from November to July SHOWS reign
supreme. In the latter month, how
ever, when the trails up the mountain
slopes are laid bare, the ascent be-
comes feasible and remains so through
out the summer and early autumn.
