JAPAN's FIRST IRoNcLAD.
Hsr Crew Made a Brave Start, But Couldn't Stop. Her Till Fires
 Went Out.

That the role of Japan as a mar. itime power is a new one is brought strongly to our notice by recalling the quite we'll authen. ticated story of the first adven. ture of the first Japanese iron clad, says Country Life.
 She was built in England. While she was building her crew were also in England practicing, in other ironclads how to drive her. When she was finished the Japanese seamen took possession of her, bravely maintaining that they were fully equal to the task of starting her.
 And that, to be sure, they were, for she steamed out finely. The trouble only began when she came back to port again. Then, when they wanted to slow her down and stop her, they were unable to do so.
 They had to put her out to sea again and go on steaming her about till her fires went out, her engines stopped for want of steam, and she could be lowed in..
 From this to having the best mentally-equipped crews, perhaps. of any nation seems . long step, but it hes been . very rapid one.

Insect Senses.

Naturalists have decided that many insects have senses which human beings lack. That of loca. tion, shown by the wasp, for in. stance, is remarkable. One spe- cies builds it's nest in a sandbank that is only part ofseveral acres of such soil, and when it leaves in search of food it covers the nest so carefully that no ordinary eye could discover it's location. That is to say it is just like all the sur rounding location, and yet the wasp flies back to it without he's itation and finds it without mak- ing a mistake. There is another wasp tfat unerringly locates the eggs of the mason bee under a thick layer of sun-baked clay, and deposits her eggs in the same cells that her young may have food when they are matched.

A New Orleans dispatch to Chicago
paper says that the Japanese are nego-
tiating for large number of creole
ponies and Texas bronchos for use in
the war. The dispatch further stat es
that on account Of their staying qualities
and the ease with which they are fed,
these animals make ideal mounts for the
Japanese saber men. II the Texas bron-
cho or the creole pony has any staying
qualities or any other qualities that COM
mend him for war horse that are not
possessed by the Oregon range horses,
it is something new in the equine world.
The Oregon cayuse by environment and
breeding long before the advent OF the
white settlers developed into the tough
est known specimen of the horse world,
and the introduction of better blood has
intensified his merits and removed his
defects, until today the ideal cavalry
horse is found in this state. The Boer
war and the strife in the Philippines cre-
ated demand for large number of
these animals, but there are still quite
number which the Japanese would do
we'll to examine before placing their or
ders elsewhere.

European and American military ex-
perts who have witnessed artillery name
uvers in the Japanese army have been
loud in their praise Of the rapidity and
precision with which the little brown
gunners handle themselves. In modern
warfare the tendency is to fight at long
er range than formerly, SO that the artil.
lery is constantly becoming more i'm
portant arm of the service. One difficult
ty with securing good gunners among
the Japs is said to be the poor eyesight
that is a national characteristic. This
obstacle has been overcome in measure
by choosing for artillerymen only those
with the keenest vision. The japanese
fieldpiece is the Arisaka twelve FOUNDER,
invented by General Arisaka, the master
OF ordnance.

Secretary Hitchcock, Of the interior

the recent big republican majority in
Oregon may be taken as an endorsement
Of his policy regarding public lands.
The Condor Globe thinks the secretary
is either talking to make noise or else
he is as ignorant as Hottentot as re-
CARDS the real status of his famous land
policy in the minds of the people in the
state. Oregonians most enphatically do
not endorse his policy and he has no oc-
casion to plume himself in pride as be.

cent election. Had the present admin
istration been obliged to rest its case on
Mr.. Hitchcock's popularity in Oregon it
could have expected to come out of the
recent election looking like thirty cents
Undoubtedly it was the intention Of the
farmers Of the original homestead law
to make it possible for the rank and file

possible things and also to safeguard
the public domain, SO far as possible,
against the raids of grafters, spectators
