volunteer to lead the foriorn hope. He seemed to bear a charmed life. escaping without a scratch, while his comrades fell thickiy all around him.
 After the civil war was over, the new government sent him to Germany to study military matters. When he returned to Japan he took a leading part in organiz- ing the Japanese soldiery on the Euro pean model. Practically, he is the creator of the modern Japanese army.
 During the Chino-Japanese war he had the opportunity of leading his men to bat tie and discovering that the trouble he had taken to train them had not been thrown away. He marched his army through Korea to Manchuria, winning dozens of victories on the way. He was never once defeated. The Chinese called his army "the Victorious Army" as they had called Gordon's during the Taip- ing war. His name became a terror throughout Manchurfa.
 When he got back to Japan nothing was good enought for him. He was the idol. of the people and all kinds of honors and offices were showed upon him.
 General Katsura believes that the Japanese soldiers are the best in the world, and says that he would not fear the result if he had to lead them against any white troops. If Japan went to war with Russia which many people think is very likely to happen, he would almost certainly be given command of the Japa- nese armies in the field. There is little doubt that he would give e good account of himself.

The Sea of Sahara.

London Answers.
 French engineers have declared 1t is perfectly feasible to convert the Desert of Sahara into a vast lake, thus opening to commerce great regions of the inte- rior of Africa, which can now only be reached by long, tedious and dangerous caravan journeys. They say that a large portion of the desrt lies below the level of the Atlantic, and that by digging a canal to let in the waters of the ocean the great change could be effected easily, and at a cost which would be small com pared to the benefits which would &C., crue.
 If the whole desert lay below the level of the Atlantic, the flooding of 1t would create a sea more than four times as big as the Mediterranean; but, as the Sahara is composed of eleSated plateau. mountain ranges and depressions, only part would be covered with water when the waves of the ocean were let in. and the new sea thus formed would be an irregular body of water, probably about the same size as the Mediterranean. Great commercial cities would at once spring upon its shores, and trade and civilization strike at once to the heart of Africa. The sea of Sahara may never become a reality but. in any event, 1t Is a gigantic and pleasing dream.

 At Windsor Castle. special apartments last occupied by Emperor William in 1899, have been prepared for the use of King Victor Emmanuel and Queen Helene. State banquets and shooting in Windsor forest will compose the daily program for the visitors, except November 19, when they will visit London and pass in pro- cession through the streets to Guild Hall. where the Lord Mayor will give a lun- cheon in their honor.
 Many cabinet ministers and other prom inent persons will be present besides a large escort of British troops. the King and Queen of Italy in their progress through the metropolis, will be attended by a guard of honor of Garibaldian vet erans resident in London.

Diplomatic circles. however, do not attach significance to .4he visit which is regarded merely as a return for King Edwards visit to Rome.

Uncle sam,s Printing.

From "The Nations Print Shop and Its
 Methods" by J. D. Whelpley, in Amerl-
 can Monthly Review of Reviews for
 November.
 In 1899 the President of the United States sent to the government printing office, accompanied by a. short message the report of the naval court of inuAiry. upon the destruction of the Maine. When printed, that report contained 298 pages of text, 15x7 inches, twenty-four full page engravings. and four-color litho- graph. It was not until o'clock in the afternoon that the shop got the originals of the illustrations, and 1t was after 6 o'clock that night when the manuscript of the text reached the foreman's hands. Before congress assembled the next morning a complete copy of this bulky volume. bound in pamphlet form, was upon every desk in the Senate and House containing, as 1t did, the illustrations Autograph and text as perfect as if a job printer had been given a month in which to do it. That is to say, a thousand copies of a book of more than 300 pages were manufactured in sixteen hours from the time the manuscript reached the foreman's composing room.
 On another occasion, at o'clock on a Saturday afternoon. the office receiv- ed the manuscript report of the com mittee which investigated hazing at the Military Academy at West Point. By 9 o'clock Monday morning each member of Congress had on his desk volume con- taining 2.OOO pages or the committee re- port in full.
 Two years ago, the record was made in the printing of a bill which was no other than the revised statutes of the District of Columbia. This bill contained three hundred pages, and was ready for deliy- cry to the White House for the Fresi- dents signature ninety minutes after the copy reached the printing office.

Valuation of Human Fraotions

Various valuations that have been rlaced upon the loss of portions of the body by accident are of more than passing interest. Some time ago the courts de- cided case in the East where a man had lost his toe through the negligence of another person. Whether 1t was consid- cred a poor toe, or that the man had lit- tie use for toes, ne was indemnified to the amount of only S1. Soon afterwards the supreme court O fthe same State allowed S1, 25O for a similar injury. and young man who lost one toe and portion of another received double that amount. As high as $25,0OO has been paid for the loss of leg, and again claimants have been refused any award whatever for these usemul members. The lowest value set upon an arm, so far as known. is $l1. but the price has ranged to handsome figures. Amounts ranging from 5000 for the life of child to $1OO,OOO for full grown man have been realized. When a case of this kind goes to court it is impossible to tell

 Suddenly there was . movement in the bushes back of him. and then he felt, the log he was sitting on ,tremble. Instinct lively the conductor turned around. when. to his amazemerit, he gazed into the face of a black bear. The latter seemed to be sizing him up and estimating how much of meal the conductor would make. and waeth@" he would scrap" when 1t came to tie point. For the con ductor there seemdi no escape. The bear sat complacently da the shore end of the log, and 1t was nSt possible for Conduc- tor Houston to Jet past the monster. The bear held him there for several hours before hunter csene along and killed the animal. The bel 3r weighed 250 pounds when dressed.

 Conductor Dave Houston of the South- ern Pacific Railroad. who is taking ten days vacation at Seaside, had a thrilling experience with a big bear which he will not soon forget. He only told a few of tho incidents, and he desired to keep 1t quiet, but the story leaked out Conduc- tor Houston is a great fisherman and nev- CT lets an opportunity slip to cast the line. He had hardly got settled at the seaside when he went out on the Necanl- cum River to have a fish all by himself. He made his way through the brush until he came to a log, one end of which pro- jected out into the creek. That's the very place." thought the conductor, and adjusting his line and pole, he crept out on the log, where he found himself com

 settled were those endorsing the demands of postofiice clerks for the regulation of sala rfea and h0urn of Iaa,or. direetiur fI.a executive council to endeevor to have the asking the federation to make a special effort to organise al women wage work CTS in the country.
 After the afternoon session a resolution
 was adopted instructing the executive council of the federation to take the necessary steps to have all international unions affiliated with the American Federation of Labor insist upon their i! local unions to Canada aflliating with the | trades and labor congress of Canada with
 the least possible delay.
 The convention also went on record as | opposed to the wholesale immigration of
 foreign labor and the Executive Counsel was instructed to take up the matter
 with the Immigration Commission of the | United States and insist that the practice | be stopped.
 Several resolutions were then adopted.
 among them the following:
 Protesting against treaties which nu-
 thorixe the arrest and return to theiv vessels of seamen who have deserted.
 urging Congress to pass an act prohibit.
 ing the employment of inexperienced men
 as seamen on the ground that the nrac- tice has been causing c large loss of ufa l and property at sea.
