manufacture are in daily use in Ja-
pan, where the entire number of all
kinds is not far above 1900. Consid-
ering the great advantage which Eng
land had at the start, this is very
good showing indeed, and it is es-
pecially creditable in view of the
pre- iudices American manufacturers
have had to overcome.
Of the private lines, the Kiushu and
the Sanyo railways are next in i'm
portance to the Nippon, and these
were the first after the Hokkaido to
order locomotives from America. A
representative of the Sanyo railway
stated that the principal reasons for
preferring American engines are the
lower price and shorter time re-
quired for filling orders. He added
that, at first, the engineers being ac-
customed to the English locomotives,
and not understanding the manage
ment of the American engine, found
that the latter consumed more coal;
but since the drivers have become
accustomed to the use and treatment
of the American locomotive, they
find no material difference in this
respect. The tire of the American
locomotive has proved more durable,
and they recognize advantages in the
sight-feeding lubricator, the air
valves for the cylinders, and the
more comfortable drivers cabin. On
the other hand, the boilers are more
ant TO leak than in the English en-
gine.
= On Kiushu island, about so German
locomotives were supplied at first,
but the use of the German engine in
Japan practically stopped there, as
very few have been brought from
that country since, and the small
volume of business they still hold in

captain, Weeks, Michigan;. halfbacks,
Heston, Michigan. and Sheldon, Chi
cago; fullback, Vanderboom, Wis
consin.
To briefly sum up the merits of
these selections: Johnny" Flynn,
captain of the Gophers, is in a class
by himself, the critics think. His
general help to the runner and his
ability to break through made him
brilliant member of DR.. Williams
eleven. Ahlswede, of the Maroons,
fills gaps in defense as if he were the
human cork" and no guard has out
played this valuable veteran OF
Stages squad this season. Lerum,
of Wisconsin, possesses in a remark
able degree all of the distinctively
valuable attributes of Ahlswede, and
it is hard to choose between these
two good men,!
No follower of football who, has
tackle this season. with. the Maroons
would hesitate for moment about
giving him one tackle position. He
is the best defensive tackle the west
has seen in years. He was quick lin
getting downs the, field on punts, and
his record is almost as many, men
as the ends. His defensive work in
the attack against his side of THE
line has been little less than mar
velous. Maddox, of Michigan, gets
the other tackle, as he has gained
distinction carrying the ball, as we'll
as iH4powerful defense work He, is
FoneS 6f the best third DOWN men
Mic&socn ever had.
Abbott, of Wisconsin, made, nine
tenths of the tackles on kicks for his
team, broke up interferenee' that
looked impregnable for one mar and
| rarely had a gain around his end.
| Everybody mas selected this square
iawed Massachusetts, boy for an enc
position Jimmy Cook, of Illinois

an All-American team. He is the
fastest end this year, is always dowr
the field like lightning, is sure ane
hard tackler, has never been really
oatplayed, and has considerable abil
: ity as drop-kicker.

on an opposing team, and you have
Heston-make him the most valua-
BILE back of the season.
Little Jimmy Sheldon, the Ma
room leader, gets the other halfback
position, because he is the most val
liable man in all the list of halfbacks,
except Heston. Sheldon knows the
game thoroughly, is always keenly
alive to the Importance of shifting
plays, knows when to mix up the Of
fense to the best advantage, follows
his interference with the tenacity of
leech, picks more holes for his
1.-THE, muscular body when interfer
ence is stopped than any back since
the days of Gordon Clarke, and in
general reflects the acumen of his
tutor, Alonzo \. Stagg. On defense
Sheldon seems to be the best player
to keep track of the ball the Ma
rooms ever had. He is a good punt
catcher, and invariably runs them
back further than big, strong n en- on
opposing teams, and despite his light
ness is a sure tackler.
For the position of fullback the
choice varies with the work demand
ed of the star. If you wanted a line
bucking fullback who was to go into
play with his last ounce of strength,
Jones-the inimitable Paul Jones, of
Michigan-would be the man. If a
kicker and an all around valuable
man, who has been power in adj
vancing the ball, sure tackler,
great defense player and such
heady punter that he has had only
one kick blocked in two years, is de-
sired, Sweeley, of Michigan, must be
considered. But with Ellsworth in
the team to do the punting it will be
well done. Vanderboom, human
catapult," and the destined successor
to the "only Norsky Larson" at Wis
consin, seems to fit in as the ideal
conception of the hard line bucker
and ball advancer. His crossbucks
for the Badgers against Michigan
and Chicago were a revelation to
western critics.
The aforementioned all-western,

of many of the expert officials and
authorities appeared, combines all of

Picking the Best Men from
Western Football Elevens

4-4.sssassssEi@Asl HE selection of an all
.EEA western football eleven
u dEh amounts to little more
SWAyX than the nomination of II
~ ~ of the best players of the
college teams, with no
claim that the stars might play, if
all brought together on one team, a
very high-class article of football.
No one has been able to discourage
the critics each season. They viii!
insist on naming their ''stars." And
consequently the all-western this
year, as in other seasons, must be
matter of individual opinion.
After seeing the big Nine" elevens
play, l was induced to make an all
western. l prefaced my remarks
about the stars selected with the
usual excuse that "anybody's opinion
on an all-western was as good as that
of anybody else" But in conversa-
tlon with the representatives of the
Big Nine, coaches, football experts.
ETC., at ''gridironfest" which news
paper men rendered to the college
men, l was struck with the general
trend of the opinion in favor of the
eleven l had selected. 1t is matter
of fact that, compared to all the all
star teams published since Thanks
giving day, the one / named Novem-
ber 2S seems to have been most liked
by the largest number of critics.
This does not mean that any consd-
cradle amount of credit was due for
its selection, as the men themselves
did the work of the season that en-
titled them to places. With very few
exceptions all critics agree on Els
worth, of Chicago, for center rush.
Ellsworth has clearly demonstrated
his ability to outplay his opponents
in every game this season, although
Sllow, of the Badgers, gave him very
hard tussle for the premier honors.
So, with Ellsworth as a basis,
named the following team: Center,
Ellsworth, Chicago; guards, Flynn,
Minnesota, and Ahlswede. Chicago;
tackles, Farr, Chicago, and Maddox,
Michigan; ends, Abbott, Wisconsin,

The Smallest State in Europe

The Smallest State in Europe.
The Italian republic of San Ma
rino, situated on Monte Titano
among the Apennines, took its rise in
the sixth century of our era. The
founder was Dalmatian soldier
named Marinus, who in the reign of
tired with several companions to
Monte Titano, where they carried on
the trade of stonecutters. At the
accession of Constantine, Marinus
was ordained q priest. and his re-
iigious zeal led to his being styled
saint during his life, and to his can
onization after death. The birthday
of Marinus is celebrated every year
on September j. The independence
of the little state dates from the
tenth century. The government OF
the republic consists of a grand coun-
ell of 90 members, of whom 20 are
mobiles, 20 are burghers and 20 are
rural proprietors. The center OF
government is in the palace, which,
with the cathedral and the ancient
citadel, is situated on the top of a
mountain. On lower spur rests the
town of San Marino itself. Through
out the little territory, which is well
cultivated. are several smaller bor-
oughs. The supreme Office is vested
in two captains-regent, who hold the
presidency of the senate and the adj
ministration of the country; one
takes charge of the city, the other
of the rural districts. In former
times they were called consuls or
gonfaloniers. The artillery of the
state consists of two small mortars,
which are used at elections and on
holidays. From the six candidates
for the supreme magistracy who OBJ
tain the highest vote, the captains

connection will be made with through
trains to the orient. The same ar
rangement will be made for the daily
service between Southampton and
Paris.
1t was also decided at the recent
meeting to form a combination with
the trans7American and transpacifc
lines, so that round-trip tickets from
New York to Peking could be sold al
the former city, with the privilege OF
going by the Pacific and returning by
the transsiberian route, or vice verse

Ja.Danese Railway.

In 1870, when the government of
Japan decided to construct railroad
connecting the old and the new capi-
tal-Kyoto and Tokyo-it accepted
British assistance for the Inaugural
ton of the work. Although the pro-
iect was devised to connect the capi-
tails, the necessity for having rail-
way communication between the
present capital and it's seaport, 1o-
kohama, and also between the for
mer capital and its seaport, Kobe,
caused these two lines to be built
before carrying out the plan for the
main trunk line. The Satsuma rebel
lion, which broke out in 1876, caused
a suspension of activity in railway
construction, and it was not until
1890, 20 years after the inception of
the plan, that the railway connecting
the former and the present capital
was opened for traffic.
These first lines were constructed
and equipped by the British, and of
course followed British standards
throughout, and on the main island,
where these roads are, no other type
than that of the English engine was
even thought of for many years. In
Kiushu, the large island at the south,
the first railroads were built about
1881. and in the Hokkaido, at the
north, at nearly the same time, the
Germans constructing and equipping
the former, while the latter were in
charge of American engineers, who
procured all their supplies from the
United States Three standards of
railway equipment were thus intro.
,duced into the empire, the British
having the advantage of being first
in the field and of being established
in the island, which, both from its
size and from it's excluding nearly
all the important commercial cities
of the empire, would require much
the greatest mileage.
There was no marked change IL
-fhe conditions thus introduced int
Japanese railway affairs, the stand
ards OF each nation continuing t.
predominate in the island where the,
were introduced until 1897. when 12
locomotives were ordered from Amer
lea for the imperial And Nippon rail
ways in the main island, the Nippol
being the most important of the pri
-vate railway companies. Since tha
time, the importation of English 10

Suicide and Civilization.

The prevalent belief that suicide is
a product of the higher civilization
is contradicted by the fact that in
India suicides by opium are COM
mitted by the natives. for the most
trivial reas ons, even children destroy
ing themselves after being scolded,
and wives because husbands complain
of their dinners. There are no regu-
lations for the sale of poison, and

up the line has been wonderful, and

Heston gets a halfback position
