A foreigner can not own land in Jap
an, although a number of foreigners
may organize themselves into a COM
pany, to be known and registered as =
''juridical person." and this company
has all the property rights of a native
citizen. Without the organization of a
company as a juridical person, foreign
ers may lease land and own buildings
OF trees thereon, and may take MORT
cages on a private railway, providing
the permission of the Government is
previously obtained. But in case of
foreclosure and sale the MORTGAGE, If
a foreign person or company, would
be at the mercy of the railroad com
pany, since he could not bid in the
properly himself; furthermore, at any
time after twenty-five years from the
late at which the railroad company OBJ
tanned official sanction to operate the
road, the Government could buy up the
road and announce it's intention to sue
coed to the rights of the MORTGAGE. In
the words of a prominent japanese
lawyer, Things may be arranged in
such a way that the Government may
purchase the road at it's own price
Under these circumstances the mort
gage right does not furnish satisfactory
security, and the formation and regis
tration of a juridicial person is attend
ed by difficulties and subject to contin-
gencies which make it an undesirable
prerequisite to investment. There has
been some talk of making changes in
the law concerning the right of for
eigner to hold land, but this has not
yet been done.

1t is curious how in British India the
same surnames keep recurring. Col.
Younghusband has just been leading
an expedition into Thibet which is call
ing forth a good deal of criticism at
the present moment. At the time of
the Indian Mutiny there was Colonel
Younghusband in charge of one of the
mutinous regiments which were for
tunately disarmed when the present
Lord Roberts was a lieutenant of Bonn
bay artillery. The name of Young
husband is as well known in the Indian
army as that of Battye, at least seven
of whom have been connected with the
Guides and have been killed in COM
mand. The first scion of the race was
killed before Delhi at the time of the
mutiny, and others have fallen in
Afghanistan and in border wars, all
ways leading the same battalion. Miss
Purvis, who was for many years resi-
dent on the Islands married a Captain
Younghusband, a very clever engineer
officer. The Col. Younghusband in
Thibet is a cousin.

1t seems that with the high buildings
which have been erected in the city,
that it would be a wise thing for the
fire department chief to exercise his
men in climbing great heights, with the
ordinary apparatus of fire men. The
New York, Chicago, San Francisco all
exercise their men in meeting such
difficulties, and the men become very
expert. Given a short hooked lad
der. and a rope and some of these men
would ascent the face of the Young
building, or the Stangenwald building
with ease. Whether any of our fire
men would do 1t is problematical. In
New York and other cities the fire
brigades give exhibition drills of their
proficiency. 1t might be well to es-
tablish something of the kind here.

Venezuela is once more coming to
the front a news way. President
Castro has closed the Orinoco to foreign
trade and Great Britain has undertaken
to reason with him. Her reasoning it
is said is to be backed up by a squa-
dron of war ships. Castro will even
tually get into trouble with the United
States, for United States merchants
are suffering in their trade as well as
others.

SURE DEATH TO wooDcHucKs.
CAAadA's Department of Agriculture
Tells How to Do Away with
the PeSaH.

In many parts Of Canada good deal
of damage is annually done in grain,
hay and pasture fields by the common
woodchuck, or grounding. Not only
is considerable amount of grain or
.odder consumed by these animals,
out much more is trampled upon and
destroyed, while the open burrows are
occasionally responsible for accidents
TO horses employed in harvesting
Many ways of destroying these ami
mails have been devised, but ordinary
methods frequently fail to keep them
. in check. Probably the simplest and
most satisfactory method is that OF
the use of bisulphide OF carbon, an in
fammable liquid which, on exposure
to air, volatilizes into a vapor that is
very destructive to animal life. A bull
letin has been issued by the depart
ment of agriculture. telling how to APP
ply the remedy, reports the Toronto
Star. One special advantage of carbon
bisulphide is that its vapor is more
than twice as heavy as air, so that in
a woodchuck burrow it will follow
tom, crowding the air above it to the
top. AS the animal is likely to be in
the lower part of the burrow, it is al
most certain to inhale the poisonous
vapor and be killed.
The equipment necessary for this
sort of woodchuck hunt consists Of a
bottle of carbon bisulphide, a bundle
of old cotton or other cloth, pail and
spade. The pail is filled with dirt and
set near the hole ready to turn in; then
a piece of cloth is held between thumb
and finger, saturated with about an
ounce Of the liquid, and Immediately
thrown as far into the burrow as
possible. The pail of dirt is quickly
thrown into the hole, and the entrance
carefully closed. II there is more
than one entrance, all but one should
be filed in before the treatment This
method not only kills the old wood
chuck, but destroys In a humane man
ner the young in the burrow. 1t has,
too, the additional advantage that the
animal is not only killed but is buried,
and the hole is filed, so that consider
able time is thus saved.
1t should be distinctly understood
by everyone who uses carbon bisul-
phide for any purpose that it is high
ly volatile, inflammable and poisonous,
and 1t is also highly explosive. With
any reasonable care in it's use, how
ever, out of doors, no i'll results can
follow.

The number of people who volun-
tarily shuffled off this mortal coil in
American and other cities during last
year has been investigated by some
deliver in statistics and the following
ngures indicate the results: San Fran
cisco leads with the largest ratio, 39.l
per 100000 of population. Next comes
another Pacific coast city, Los Angeles,
with ratio of 1913. The reader has
naturally been looking for Chicago,
and that city does, in fact, come next
with a ratio of 24.O, followed by the
neighboring city of Milwaukee, whose
ratio is 22.2. New Orleans was the
scene of the self-destruction of 21.s
persons per 100000 of population, and
Cincinnati followed close with gig.
New Haven is next with 900, and then
comes the borough of Manhattan with
200, though greater New York as a
whole is well down the fist with ratio
OF only 1876. This is less than Roches-
ter, Indianapolis, Philadelphia, Pitts
burg, Baltimore, Boston, Detroit.
Omaha and Louisville, besides all Of
those specifically enumerated above.
AS to the foreign cities, Paris leads the
list with ratio of AZ followed by
Berlin 36, Vienna 90 and London %.

presence of large Chinese Formulation

RUNG UP HUSBANDS WAGES.
The Conductors Wife Makes Fine
Tissue Paper Lamp shade with
Hia Punch,

Mackenzie Is a conductor on an owl
train on the a." consequently he does
his sleeping in the daytime, says the
Chicago Record-Herald.
Now, as everyone knows who has
had occasion to use the elevated after
IL o'clock, the fares, after passing GER
tain points on the line, are collected
by the conductors, who for the pur-
pose Of registration, carry the little
bell punches once so familiar on the
surface lines.
One afternoon lately he was reused
from his diurnal slumber by his indus
trious little wife, who brought out for
his admiration lamp shade made of
colored tissue paper. She made it
with her own pretty hands, and it's
scalloped border was perforated with
innumerable little holes, through
which the light of the parlor lamp
would fall on the table.
"Tell me If you think it pretty" de-
manded Mrs. Mackenzie, holding the
shade out for her husband to In
spect 1t.
"It looks lovely" began Mackenzie:
but as he scrutinized it more closely
he turned pale and said, hoarsely:
"You made those holes with my bell
punch"
Eyes, dear" said his dear little wife,
blithely, while you were asleep. It
was so convenient to punch holes with.
But what makes you speak that way p
demanded the little woman, greatly
alarmed at the sudden change which
had come over the unfortunate Mac
kenzie.
"Oh, nothing," he replied, "only
you've rung up enough fares on that
lamp shade to use up six months sal
airy. Every one of those holes will cost
me five cents, that's all"
And the unhappy Mackenzie. In the
agony of his spirit, groaned aloud.

M. C. Long, curator Of the Kansas
City public museum, has photographed
the Lansing skull' from different
view points. The prehistoric skull is
now in the possession of Mr.. Long.
After thorough investigation, Mr..
Long is satisfied the skull is that of a
prehistoric man, who in all probability
lived during the glacial period, $4,000
years ago, and This opinion is fully
shared by Prof. S. w. Williston, of the
Kansas university, reports the Kansas
City Star.
On March 20 Of this year workmen
found the skull while digging a tunnel
deep into the side of hill on a farm
near Lansing, Kan. Mr.. Long CHANGED

went to Lansing. If the opinion of

This prehistoric man was probably a

The photograph does not give an ade-
quate idea of the peculiarities of the
prehistoric skull. 1t slopes back imme-

practically no forehead. Over the eyes,
however, are we'll developed ridges,

thick. Pieces of stone are attached to
and imbedded in the skull. and these
pieces of stone are identical with those
found attached to the bones of mas
todons. The cracks seen in the skull
were caused by the workmen who
found it, for they attached no impor-
lance to the find and allowed several
heavy boxes to fall upon it, breaking II
