Emieration from ItaIy.

Those who follow Italian affairs are
perfectly astonished at the statistics Of
emigration. In 1869, what was consid-
cred the immense number of $4,000 men
left their native country. the emigrants
osciIlating between that and $4,000 up
to 1881, until in 1887 those numbers were
215 900, rising to 290,0 900 the very next
year Arrived at this figure, ii seemed
as though the maximum must have
been reached and that the numbers
would decline; but instead. in 1891, there
was another rise to $4,000, maintained
for three consecutive seasons, the cen
tury closing with the enormous NUM-
Der of 352, emigrants; but even that
was not the consummatiOn. as, in 1901,
they were 533, 900. Thus, in the first
two years of this century Italy sent
ever 100000 souls to other countries
to enlarge there the already numerous
Italian colonies. The largest contingent
of permanent emigration comes from
the center and the south of the penin-
sula, while temporary emigrants US
ually go from the north, and are IN
the greater part agriculturists, peas
ants, stOnemasOns and bricklayers.
When one takes into consideration the
fact that Italy is obliged TO import
yearly from S.O00,0 900 to 10000 900 quin-
tails of grain to feed the nation while
her workers are leaving the country in
such numbers, the only conclusion is
that there is something seriously wrong
somewhere.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Valuable Discovery Accidental.

Cheap commerciaiacetyl gas was
discovered by accident. according to
Harper's Weekly. Wilson, scientific
eKperimenter, believed that nearly all
metallic oxides could be reduced TO a
metallic state by heating them to an
extremely high temperature by the
Voltaic arc in the presence of free car
bon Aluminium has been success
fully reduced in this way. Mr.. Will
son wished to obtain metallic calcium
He therefore mixed quantity of
quickNme with pulverized coke and
brought the mixture to a high tenn
persture by the action of the voItaic
arc. He expected to obtain a white
metal. but instead he appeared to pro-
duce nothing but Stag. This was
thrown into the yard and one day at
noon. while the boys were having their
luncheon. they picked up these bits
Of Stag and threw them at each other.
One piece fell into pail of water and
produced a bubbling effect and a
strong odor This attracted Mr.. Will
sons attention and upon investigation
he found that the strong smelling gas
was extremely infiammabIe. Further
investigation revealed that il was pure
acetylene gas.

Excavations AT YesnYius.

Tho most recent excavation shows
that Vesuvius began its work as a con-
servator of antiquity earlier than the
memorable year A. d. 20. During the
excavations in the valley of the SarnO,
near San Mariana. some most interest
ing antiquities have come to light.
These had been covered up by vol
canic deposit about six feet thick.
which points to an eruption of Vesu-
vius which must have taken place in
the seventh century before Christ. The
relics include a Greek bUrying place,
archaic Italian tombs and various
bronzes and terra cottas.-New York

King Edwards Many Toys.

King Edward of England has re-
markably large stock of clothes, and
II is seldom that the King when on
the Continent is seen wearing the same
suit twice. The King never assumes
fewer than three suits of clothes every
DAY. When he arises he puts on an
easy fitting lounge suit of black. navy
blue or dark mixture. Later, if he is
going to shoot, he dons a brown tweed
sporting costume, with his favorite Ty-
rolean hat and feather. If he has been
subjected to any great exertion during
an outing he undergoes on his return
system Of massage and then dresses
for dinner
II his Majesty made it a rule never
TO wear the same suit twice. a simple
calculation shows that he would re-
quire no fewer than 1895 suits in the
course of a year. whth would bring
up his tailor's bill to about s55,OOO a
year.
The King undoubtedly has the larg-
est wardrobe Of all the monarchs in
the world. At Windsor. Buckingham
Palace and Sandringham the King has
a total OF about 200 suits of all kinds.
besides nearly a hundred hats and caps
He has, moreover. a splendid collection
Of fur lined overcoats. For mornings
in the week the King at present favors
trousers of pattern with a thin YER
tical stripe and a white vest. The slip
which he lately made fashionable has
been discarded He also likes velvet
collars on Overcoats.
To sum up, the King orders about
thirty suits in the course of the YEAR

| ANCIENT JAPANESE LEGEND.
Foundation Of Belief That the Amer
lean Continent Was Discov-
cred by Them.

The history of Japan, like that
Of many other nations, shows that
America was known to the an
clients in all parts of the world.
AS soon as the art of marine nav
igation was revived among the
Japanese they crossed the Pacific
in order to test the truth of old ira
ditions, and landed in Mexico not
long after Columbus made his, dis
coYeries, says the Kansas City
Journal. These old traditions
have been from time immemorial
kept alive by series of ceremo.
nies unto this day, and it is unnec-
essary to say that no evidence of
ancient events is so strong as fes-
tivals and ceremonies instituted
to preserve their remembrance.
The traditional history of Japan
in this matter is a counterpart of
that of Greece and other Meditter-
ranean nations, and makes refer
ence to lost or sunken island.
In Kaempfer's great work on
Japan this story is given: "Mau-
rigasima was an island in the Pa.
cific ocean famous for porcelain
vessels. The inhabitants were
rich and luxurious and had con-
tempt for religion. The king was
named Peiroun. He himself was
religious. He had a dream of a
coming food. 1t was to happen
when the two faces of the idols in
the temple turned red. The two
idols were called InfOniwOO and
Awun-gOds of generation and
destruction. Some one, to play a
trick, one night painted the faces
Of these idols red. The king, hear
ing of the change of color, lost no
time in getting aboard Of ship.
Then the island sunk and all were
drowned except PeirOun. He got
safe to China"
But the enumeration of tradi-
tiOns found among the japanese
which point TO an early knowledge
il not colonization of America
does not rest upon this incident
alone. In one of the pagodas is
remarkable monument where the
bull of agriculture is represented
in the act of ripping up an egg.
Now, among mythOlogists North
America is called the egg of the
world, and so the japanese sa-
wants explain this monument as
the emblem of the ancient discOv-
cry and colonization of the con-
tinent by Jspan. The Japanese
Columbus and hero of the first
trip across the Pacfic was Jebis.
He has since been deified, made
the brother of god TenziO, and
called the Neptune of Japan.
