WHY JAp8 HAVE paooREssEo-

The ease with which scientists, en-
gineers, naval and military experts
have been produced in Japan proves
that often the most abstract training
Is the best preparation for practical
efficiency. The cherry-stone carvers
have been preparing to hold the lever
and the trigger; the pundits have
found the plotting of campaign upon
Port Arthur already accomplished in
their ancestors charting of the cos
mos and the soul of man. The Japa-
nese have not been taught to despise
anything as too small or too great.
No allusion of racial superiority has
fostered faith that they can blunder
luckily through all emergencies. No
superstitious respect for machinery
has betrayed them into soorning the
finest OF aii-dnstruments-the mind

DO MEN EAT TOO MucH2


Prof Chittenden has been reading
before the Natloral academy of sci
ences the much anticipated descrip-
ton of a series OF experiments recent
ly conducted by the Sheffield scientific
school of Yale to determine if the
average human being is not eating too
much.
His affirmation is very important in
these days OF food trusts. for he
still persists that the average healthy
man eats from two to three times as
much as he needs to keep him in per-
feet physical and mental health and
Viror. Prof Chttenden's expert
ments covered all classes of men from
the hardest worked toiler to the col
iege professor and lasted nearly a
year, 1t was certainly the most com
pIete test of the question ever under
pken.
There was gradual reduction OF
meat and proteid foods with little in
crease in starch and other foods in
nearly all the tests. and yet at the end
Of the experiments the entire lot of
men who had been experimental with
were in the best of health. In some
cases the weight and strength had ac-
tually increased, while the daily con
sumption of food had been only from
q half to third as much as the aver
age man eats

The real argument against war is
not the sentimental one of suffering,
hardship. loss of life, etc; it is the
moral one that war with its Vicious
consequences of national debt, bur-
densome taxation, disordered finances,
relaxed social morals, should never
he undertaken if it can possibly be
avoided. That men are killed
in war; that dreadful wounds are OBJ
tanned; that hardship is suffered and
domestic bereavement wrought, is
nothing. Such things are as insepa-
rable from war as prickly heat from
the climate OF the tropics. or as deadly
cold from the Arctic circle; but that
is not the true argument for or against
war. for or against peace. 1t is not a
question at all OF personal hardship
or domestic bereavement; it is ques-
ton OF public justice or injustice. A
wanton war. war of conquest for
mere brutal conquest's sake, war
waged in the spirit that Ahab took
Naboth's vineyard or David obtained
gJriah's wife, is a great crime; but a

al preservation. for the defense or en-
largement OF human liberty, is more
glorious than a thousand years of ig-
noble Chinese peace. There are vices
colncident with war; but they are not
more deplorable nor more ineffacable
than the cankers of a calm world and
long peace The march of civiliza'
ton has proceeded at charging step
following every great war, The bat
ties of Marathon and Salamis were
the turning points in the civilization
OF mankind. The greatest forced
marches of mankind since Marathon
on the path to enlarged civil liberty
and law have been wrought BY greai
wars. Gigantic social and civil abuses
have persisted beneath the sword
