is no question now that the honor
belongs to neither country, since both
have unconsciously copied the idea
from Egypt. Until few years ago
boat builders had never constructed
a boat with line of prov equal to
that seen on the little model just I'M

years ago had no such lines.
In some respects. at least, we have
improved on the boats of 1000 years
ago. The stern of the model is not
so good as would be the stern of a
model of a modern racing yacht. Con-
siderable Improvements have also
been made in steering gear. However,
to all intents and purposes the boats

terprises. They have brought her ma
terial progress to a stage of substan-
tial Importance, and last year her
trade with the United States alone
amounted to $20,00000O of imports,
and $35,000,000 of exports. BY the
treaties, which went into effect in
1899, an oriental nation, for the first
time in the history of the international
relations of eastern and western coun-
tries, was received upon footing of
equality BY Christian powers.
The progress of the new Japan, it
is considered by the Japanese, was
evolved from her ancient institutions,
but foreigners like to claim some
share of the credit for work which
they have done, and especially Ameri-
cans, since it was the coming of Com
modore Perry, in the name of the
American people, that began the awak-
ening which is now developed into this
season of prosperity.
Yokohama owes its growth quite dts
tinctively to the foreigners who have
settled in Japan, and the town has
grown with quite the rapidity of some
American cities on the prairies. Pre-
vious to the visit of Commodore Perry
in 1854 Yokohama was but tiny fish
ing village. The town of Kanagawa,
across the bay, was the spot first
chosen as the treaty port for this part
oil Japan, but here the armed retainers
of the daimyos, passing to and from
the capital, were liable to fall into
difficulties with the foreigners, SO facil-
tiles were granted for leasing ground
at Yokohama
Thither the merchants repaired in
1859, and the history of Yokohama as
a foreign settlement dates from that
time. The foreigners made their resi-.
dence along the sea wall, and within
the district apportioned to them by the
old treaties, and outside this a large
and rapidly growing native town has
grown up.
The foreign quarters in Japanese
city are known as the bund This is
the word for sea wall, where the quar-
ters are located. Fronting the anchor
age at Yokohama is the new club
house. but the best bungalows of the
foreign residents were formerly mixed
among the old wooden custom house
and other native buildings. These
have now been replaced with substan-
tial structures in keeping with the Inn
portance of the port.
For time the life and property OF
the foreigners were protected by for
eign soldiers, but the last of these left
in 1875. Water works were opened in
