THE OBEDIENT FISH.

cord.
The ballast in the fish must be regu-
lated in such way that the fish can
swim on the surface of the water, but
at the slightest pressure of the hand
against the paper cover sink to the
bottom of the Jar. BY pressing slight
ly on the paper cover little water
will enter the fish through the small
opening; the fish, getting heavier,
will sink to the bottom. BY releasing
the pressure the compressed air
in the shell forces the water out, the
fish gets lighter and rises in the wa
ter. Don't let the spectators see the
little motions of the hand pressing
out the cover, and the fish will APP
pear as if obeying your command to
rise or sink.-Chicago Tribune.

In a certain company of grown-up

Now, there is no particular advan-

there is satisfaction in knowing

MAKEUP SONG FOR SUMNER.

Wake up! wake up!" chirps the sparrow
Don't you know 1t is Tomorrow"
Il see you'll" pipes robin bright,
Sleeping in the morning lightw
Up! all lazy boys and girls,
Stratghten out your tumbled curls!
Open eyes and brighten faces,
Don your smiles and pretty graces!
All the birds are long awake,
All the flowers an airing take,
And before they see your eyes,
They have calls from butterflies!
While the fairy-winged sweet peas
Invite the golden-belted bees
To their breakfast In the shade.
Playing pretty waiter-maid!
The cows are eating clover tops,
The farmer tending to his crops;
Cocks are Growing, hens are feeding,
Flocks of fluffy chickens leading.
Listen! how the brooklet babbles,
Washing smooth its shining pebbles,
Taking pictures of the sky.
Talking with the dragon-hy!
Everything is wide awake
Hear the crickets in the brake!
Grasshoppers, down in the grass.
Say: Has 1t come to such a pass
That the children sleep so late.
AS We heard the robin state?"
Oh, who would be sleepy-head
Lying in stuffy bed?

JAPAN A STRONG NATION.
The FIowery Kingdom Is Fast De-
coming nm Important Factor in
the Affairs of the World.

In view of the agreement entered
into between Great Britain and
Japan, the fighting strength" of our
oriental ally becomes factor of con-
siderable Importance, says the Lon
don Chronicle. A new naval pro-
gramme will probably be announced
some time this year, but at present the
japanese navy consists of battle
ships, armored cruisers, 8 second
class cruisers, third-class cruisers,
torpedo gunboats, about 100 tor
pedo craft, and 1 torpedo depot
ship. This list, according to the
latest returns, does not include some
small cruisers that are being built in
Japan. The japanese navy was or
ganized entirely on the lines of the
British navy. The following are the
chief characteristics of the larger
class of vessels: Length, 400 feet,
with breadth of 10 feet inches, and
main draught of rs feet inches; nor
NAL displacement, 1920 tons; arma-
ment, four 12-inch Acton guns placed
in pairs on two barbettes situated for
ward and aft; IA quick-firing 6-inch
guns carried on the broadside, and 20
12-pounder quick-fring guns. There
are in these vessels four submerged
torpedo discharges. The Harveyized
arnor-belt 226 feet long by s feet 6
inches deep, the thickness of armor
being inches. On the barbettes the
main deck, and inches below in front.
The ships are propelled by twin
screws, the engines being of $4,000 in
dicated horsepower, supplied by
Bellevue boilers, the contract speed
is 1875 knots. The coal capacity at
normal draught is 700 tons, but the
bunkers are capable of holding 1,4Oo
tons. The complement is TAI officers
and men. Among the battleships is
the Chen-Yuen, captured from China,
which has a displacement of 7,400
tons, indicated horsepower 6,20o; ar
mament, four 12-inch (Krupp), four
6-inch quick-firing and eight light
guns, as we'll as eight other guns and
three torpedo tubes. Her speed is IA
knots.
OF the armored cruisers the largest
is the Asama. with displacement of
9,750 tons, an indicated horse power
of 10000; armament, 4 S-inch quick
fling, IA 6-inch (Amstrong), torpedo
tubes -four submergeO, and speed
22.1 knots. Some of the cruisers.
have a greater speed, like the Tokiwa,
with 23 knots, others less, like the
Yakumo, with 20 knots. Other cruis-
ers and destroyers vary in displace-
ment between 1850 and 5,416 tons.
They all carry quick-firing guns and
the destroyers are said to have a
maximum trial speed of 80 knots or
more. Some were built on the Thames,
others on the Clyde and some at Bar
row and Elswick.
Although Japan took England for a
model in the building and manning of
her navy, she went to Germany for the
organization of her army. The mill
tary budget of 1901-2 provides for 13
divisions of the army, including the di-
vision of the guard, 26 infantry bri-
gades, each of 3-battalion regiments,
II regiments of cavalry (51 squad
rons), 10 regiments of artillery Ola
field and muntain batteries), 13 bat

VOTING MACHINES CAN BE USED

ALBANY. Oct. 23.-The voting machines

for seven columns only, while independent
nominations in the district necessitafe
the Use Of eight columns. II has bee
thought the machines could not be used
at the coming election on this account
and that printed Official ballots would
have to be resorted TO. Seven separa'e
party or independent nominations have
been made for State officers. There have
also been made independent nominations
Of Justice Of the Supreme Court for the

column, but in the Fifth Judicial districl
that party has no candidates except for
State officers.
The question was asked by the Rochestar
voting machine manufacturers whether
the names of the other independent candi-
dates can be placed in the seventh column
The Attorney General to-day decided thai
they could be and that the voting machines
can be used al the coming election. The
voting machines are now so arranged
that the straight voting device in each
column will register vote for all the names
contained in that column. but il is proposed
to adjust the voting machines 20 that the
straight voting device in the seventh column
will register vote for the nominees Of the
Greater New York Democracy only and
without Affecting the other independent
nominees, whose names may thereafter
appear in the seventh column.

4 Mistake in Policy.

The policy of trying to get away from
the national ownership and operation "
plank of the Democratic platform which
both Mr.. HILL and his candidate for
Governor are now pursuing is bad poll
tics. The time to get rid Of that So
calistic declaration was when its intro
duction into the platform was proposed.
Now that it is in, the only thing for Mr..
HILL to do is To stand on it or else fall
into public ridiculc.
The worst policy in politics is a policy
of cowardice. Courage even in a bad
cause inspires respect. Playing fast and
loose invites contempt. Moreover, the
mischief was already done when the
Democratic convention went into the So-
ciallstic business, and it is irreparable, II
classified that party AT once gave il the
sole distinction it has in this State. II
has nothing else TO bank on. Its criti-
cisms of the present State Government
are puerie and fly in the face Of the
popular intelligence. The assault Mr..
HILL made on its personal honesty, in
his speech at Tammany Hall on Wednes
day evening, was not only petty i'm spirit
but showed also a surprising inability
to discriminate a. To evidence in "a man
who aspires To the national leadership
of his party. II was low both morally
and intellect uaily, and exhibited Mr..
HILL to the people of the country in a
light which was very unfortunate for
the reputation for elevated statesman-
ship he Is counting so scdulouslv. He
has been easily rcfuted.
Undoubtedly, the Socialistic expert
ment has seemed to fail, though Mr.. HILL
must have gone into it with hopeful
elaboration. He must have expected
that it would set the woods afire and
give to him flaming distinction which
none of his rivals for the Democratic
leadership in 1904 could hope TO dispute.
