Activity of the Island Empire in Con-
struction Work.
That the modern Japanese are de-
termned to keep abreast of the peo-
plies of the Western world is shown
not only by their quick mastery of the
art of war, but also by their readiness
to appropriate all the results of mod
ern scientific discovery. According to
the London Electrical Engineer, they
are now displaying much activity in
the utilization Of electricity for light
Ing, power and traction purposes. The
Toxic electric light works have been
In operation for a considerable time
and it has become necessary to greatly
extend the power house. The plant at
present has capacity of $3.50 horse
power, and this is being increased by
an additional 5000 horse power. This
new plant will so into operation dur
Ing the present month, and work will
then be commenced on a further ex-
tension, which will ultimately increase
the output of the station by 10000
horse power. Fresh demands for cleo

The prevailing rate is $1.0O per person

New Ways to Wnlten Teeth.

Up-to-date dentists have several
new wrinkles for whitening and pol
fishing the teeth.
One of these is to first dip the brush
into salty water and then apply the
powder, which should be of the finest
quality. After three or four minutes
brushing rub a little dry salt over the
teeth, and in time they will become
perceptibly whittier. If you want to
have teeth like polished ivory, take
piece of changes skin, dip it in lemon
Juice and rub the teeth until they are
hot to the touch.
