AT SEA July 81. 1904.
In Japan one hears a good deal about a
revival of Buddhism. and reforms in the
priesthood of that faith which. We are told,
have been excited by the aggressiveness Of
the Christian missionaries and the waning
influence of the Buddhists with the govern
ment and the people Old Protestant resi-
dents who have had an opportunity to OBJ
serve notice "a marked Improvement in the
character and conduct OF the native clergy
during the last ten fifteen years. and
there has been a considerable decrease in
their numbers.
According to the official statistics the
Shnto priesthood has been reduced from
100. $50 in 1896 to S4.G3S in 1902. and the
number of students preparing for the Shin
to priesthood has dropped from lab to
11Go during the same period. In 1899 the
number of Shinto students throughout the
entire empire was only 80, and in 1900 only
6So. This is accounted for by the conditions
and requirements which the government
has placed upon the Shinto priesthood since
that form of worship taken under the
charge of the bureau of temples ana
shrnes. Formerly anybody could become
a Shinto priest by entering a monastery
and taking the vows or securing place
in one of the temples, but that easy method
has been abolished and since 1898 a GER
tain degree of education and morality has
been required. that a much better class
of men are now taking charge of the Shinto
temples.

is a falling off in the number of theological
students The following table will show a
comparison in numbers between the years

The demands Of fashion and of sport and
the innate love OF destruction threaten the

Many years before the. settlement OF Cali

the purpose of securing the pelts OF these

Work on Panama Canal.

Admiral John G.. Walker, chairman
OF the Panama canal commission, an
nounced in Washington last week that
actual work on the canal would be be-
gun after the commission has been a
few weeks on the isthmus, for which
1t sailed on Tuesday last A large
number OF inspectors will be employed
by the commission. Admiral Walker
is opposed TO the selection OF these In
spectors through the civil service
commission. He is thorough beliey-
CIR In the civil service, but does not
think II would be satisfactory on the
Isthmus OF Panama. Admiral Walker
explains that the estimated cost OF
Tn canal made by the last commission
did not include the expense OF govern
Ing the canals zone. Intense interest

Pleasantly Surprised

The Rebekahs were pleasantly sur
prised at their last meeting by the
presentation Of letter from Anchor
Lodge OF Iron Mountain containing a
money order for ten dollars which the
Iron Mountain ladies had earned by
serving lunch on election day in their
city. The money was donated TO the
Crystal Falls lodge to assist IL In re-
plenishing It's wardrobe, burned In
the recent fire. The Iron Mountain
ladies instituted the local lodge and
have always held motherly interest
In IL for that reason.
When they learned OF the FIRE and
the heavy loss sustained by Armenia
lodge they determined to assist In the
re-furnishing.

Is being taken in the construction OF
the canal by prospective contractors.
On the steamer on which the com.
mission is TO sail for the isthmus,
practically every stateroom has been
engaged by agents Of contractors who
want TO look the ground over. Ad-
miral Walker has advised congress
that no law be enacted requiring the
work TO be done by contract. 1t is
the intention OF the commission TO
continue actual work on the canal
as now being carried on by the French
company In order TO demonstrate the
exact cost OF such work. He explain
ed TO the interstate and foreign COM
mittee OF the house OF representatives
that the greatest engineering feat OF
the whole enterprise would be the con-
struction OF the Bohio dam. 1t will
be necessary TO go about 20 feet below
the sea level to get the proper founda-
tion for this dam. Although borings
have been made for rock bottom, AID
miral Walker says that many more
would be necessary because it was
essential that the engineers should be
absolutely certain of the proper foun-
dation before beginning the work.
Concerning the construction OF this
dam the admiral believes that 1t is an
engineering certainty. He does not
think that it will ever be necessary To
construct a sea level canal, maintain
ing that a lock canal will do all the
work required at much less cost

The Pythlans OF Ishpemlng are talk
ing Of inviting the upper peninsula
lodges TO meet In that city for their
second annual reunion the coming
summer. 1t was decided some time
ago that the session would take place
at Sault Ste Marie, but the 500
lodge has been burned out and the
Ishpeming lodge has been advised
that the society is not in position TO
entertain its upper peninsula brethren
this year. The entertainment Of the
visiting Knights would, be no small
task. 1t Is expected that no less than
three hundred, and possibly five humid
red would attend the session. A com
mittee named TO consider the question
Is unanimous i'm favor Of holding the
meeting I'm Hematite City and the
matter is now up TO the lodge In case
the meeting is held in lshpeming the
local team will not enter the contest.
Last year the 500 team captured the
cup offered by the Hancock and
Houghton lodges, but the IShpeming
team made a very good showing. Had
the meeting been held at the 500, as
originally intented, the Ishpeming
organization would have been entered.
