Pay of Parliament

There is a strong feeling in Eng
land against the payment of mem
bers, on the ground that it would
tend to create the class Of profess
sional politicians seen in foreign
countries and our colonies. Its alb
sence obviously tends to restrict
membership of parliament to the
well-to-dO classes, and, as a matter
OF fact, these enjoy an overwheIm.
ing representation in the house Of
commons, the labor members
whose expenses and modest sal.
airy are provided from some organ.
ization of the classes they renre.
sent, being at present a small but
happily an increasing group. To
compel a candidate to pay the cost
OF counting the votes which send
him to serve the nation in parlia.
ment is preposterous, and. after
taking safeguard against a super.
iuity of candidates, the system
will probably soon be abolished

FOOD OF THE JAPANESE.
A Diet That Is Extremely Simple
with Fish as the Staple
Article.

The. Jap at home in time of
peace, or the Jap in the field i'll
time of war would scarcely be ac-
counted an epicure from the wes-
ern point of view. His diet is sim
pie in the extreme. Fish is the
staple article Of food in Japan.
Raw fish is a luxury. When the
Jap stays away from his native is
lands for a few years, however, he
usually acquires a taste for
cooked foods. A writer in the
Sunday Magazine recalls the case
of a Japanese friend who returned
home after long absence abroad.
He tried several times to regale
himself on uncOoked fish Each
time he was made sick. Civiliza-
ton had cured him Of the habit.
AT the date of the revolution i'm
1S6Sl69, there was not a pound of
meat or flesh food of any kind in
Japan, no milk, butter or cheese.
Potatoes, cabbage and tomatoes
were unknown; there were only
few favOrless and acrid fruits and
a few common vegetables. There
was time, before Buddhism wSs
introduced into Japan, when, ac-
cOrding TO the Sunday Magazine,
the Japanese were both hunters
and fishermen, when they lived to
"a large extent on the products of
tthe chase-wild boars, deer, mon
keys, hares and pheasants. But
interdicted killing and
the Jap gave up the chase and also
the rearing Of domestic animals
for food. He learned, however,
from the Buddhist missionaries
how to grow rice, wheat and other
cereals and certain vegetables
turnips, onions and Gu

x-Rays to Test raintinrn.

The genuineness of paintings at
tributed to the old masters is now
tested 10y the application of the
X-ray. A gentleman of Munich
who has ln his collection a Christ
Crowned with Thorns," said to be
the work of Albrecht Durer, was
anxious to set at rest the doubts
expressed by connOisseurs as to
the authenticity of this painting.
He accordingly had the picture
photographed by means of the X
rays, with the result that Durer's
monogram, surmOunted by the
date, 1921, was apparent, as was
also a two line Latin inscription,
the very existence of which was
unsuspected.-Science.

ON HOLDING THE BREATH.
Tests Have Shown That One Minute
and a Half Is the Extreme
Limit.

For divers engaged in certain
classes of submarine work a long
stay under the water is made pos
sible by wearing a peculiar helmet,
into which a steady supply of air
is forced downward from a boat
through a rubber tube, A man
can thus stay below the surface
for an hour or two without serious
discomfort. Submergence with
out any such help means holding
ones breath, and that is a very
different matter. According to
the American Inventor, no one can
remain under water more than
two minutes without becoming
unconscious, Notwithstanding the
claims Of exhibition divers. AT
NavariDO, where the sponge. div.
ers are reported to be able to re.
main under water three and four
minutes, tests were made recent.
gy and resulted in oOnclusively
proving that none of them re.
manned down as long as a minute
and a half. At CeylOn, where
some tests were made among the
famous pearl divers. it was ascer-
tanned that few Of them remained
below the surf@oe as long as a min
ute, and other tests made on the
Red sea among the Arabs proved
that a minute and a quarter was
the longest they could endure
without fresh breath.
DrOwningis a quick death. Even
though the water is kept out of
the lungs, insensibility will ensue
in two minutes, and complete un-
consciousness in three.
