THE CARS ARMY

In the shape OF It's army and navy
but there Is no other military force
OF which the world knows so little. so
reticent are the soldiers Of the car

do IN any way with their profession
Even the numerical strength OF the
army is largely matter OF oonjec'
ture. AS nearly az can be reckoned'
the force available for carrying ON the
earlier stages OF a war amounts 70
nearly 100000, But In case OF ma
tional emergency this force could be
swelled 20 about 100000 hghtlsg
men by the calling out Of the terri
torlal reserve and the militia.
In many respects the Russian army
and navy differ materially from the
forces OF other powers, and some OF
the points Of difference arc decidedly
interesting; but. as already stated.

CLOCKS OF TOXIC

The Japanese divide tho twenty-four
hours into twelve periods. Of which
six belong TO the night and six TO the
day their day beginning at sunrise
and ending at sunset Whether the
day or night be long, OF short, thorc
are always six periods In each.
TO attain this, the characters or
numerals on the Scale on their time
pieces are adjustable, Two OF them
are set. one TO agree with the sunrise,
the other with sunset, and the four
characters between them divide tho
space into equal portions. Thus, when
tho period OF daylight is longer than
the night. the day hours viii be pro-
portionately longer than those AZ
night. Another popularity In their
scale is that they use only six char
acters, those from four TO nine, and
these read backwards instead OF for
wards.
