From the Boston Herald.
Assuming that 10000 men form the
available strength Of the Russian
forces In the Far East-and If there are
more than that number there, the peril
Of insufficient supplies Is a most serious
one-the Japanese can probably put
into the field within a relatively short
time a decidedly superior force The
latter, obtaining their supplies through
water communications which they now
control win find little difficulty in COM

MODERN eUsINEss AND AEALTH
ey Professor &c eoepeI.

one OF the principal uses of wealth is
to secure devices for the saving of
personal effort, TO increase physical
comfort. to acquire luxuries which
pander TO the love of physical relaxa-
tion.
Perhaps the characteristic feature OF
present day civilization is the produce
ton of apparatus which does away
with personal labor or reduces it to
a minimum.
Hundreds of men are displaced by the
installation of one new machine. In
fact the improving and perfecting of
machinery is at the bottom of the
greatest sociological question OF the
dayr-thats Of the .laborer's livelihood.
Men feel that they are losing their in
dividuality by becoming a part Of a
great machine-a machine which pro-
duces, not they.
II seems as if men would soon be
able to live without need Of hands,
they need only to be able TO press but
tons, shift levers. tread pedals, all
without skill or special training.
The production OF machinery en-
ploys many, of course: but few when
compared with the numbers of those
displaced by the finished product
All this is working out the evolution
Of the man physical; where he labors
it is on specialized work requiring but
little variety Of muscular action; what
is 10 become OF him? He must surely
change the physical type of the race
unless he takes the time outside Of
business to consider his body's needs.
The old time conditions, which held the
great majority OF men in the country
and required them to accomplish every
thing with their own hands, is rapidly
passing away. Economic methods are
fast invading the farming system, and
even here physical effort Is lessening
TO such a degree that even the farmer
Will soon have to look for artificial ex-
ercise in order to keep healthy.
The telegraph and telephone have
done much to interfere with the ply
steal welfare of men; they sit down to
the desk and do business over the wire
instead OF going to the place TO get or
do what they wish.
Imagine these two great institutions
suddenly lost, 4 would paralyze the
business world, 80 thoroughly do these
great lasor annihilators underte our
present system. They are factors IN
our evolution Of immense Importance.
All this means that we have got TO
make a special feature OF exercise in
order 70 keep bodies 1T to live in. 20
say nothing about physical excellence.
Exercise and the gymnasium have
become the necessary concomitants OF
present day progress and VIII become
more SO as the century advances. Tho
future race depends on the way the
present race regards this cact. Look
yourself over, compare your condition
with that OF your father or other
strong healthy men. ana if you are not
up TO the standard see what the gym
nasium can do for YOU

An Easy Rosd For eIa cheata.

From the New York World.
There is news from Albany that power
ful influences arc at work 70 prevent a
legislative investigation OF the United
States Ehipbuilding scandal Since the
astounding disclosures OF organized ra-
paef.y and rascality made at the hearings
in this city a Legislative investigation is
not NEEDED TO show that somebody ought
TO go to jail for this gold-brlclx game
played as high finance" in Wall street
But the powers possessed by Committee
OF the Legislature would be so much
greater that IL could unquestionably bring
to light facts and fix tho responsibility far
more completely than the referee in this
case was able to do.
IL Is TO be hoped, therefore, in the in
terost Of justice that Governor Oden will
carry out his purpose Of causing a thor
ough investigation Of the shipbuilding
scandal
Meantime the apparent immunity Of
everybody connected with this promo
ion' Of robbery from even the fear Of
prosecution suggests the question whether
the District Attorney has discharged his
duty and Improved his opportunity in this
matter 81 he ought to have done. The
net Of Justice should not be for little
fishes only. In England Whitaker Wright
whose transactions were not unlike those
of various promoters IN This country,
was convicted and sentenced to penal
servitude though he had enjoyed the
confidence and perhaps had helped TO MI

CAUGHT AT RANDOM

The most curious motor race ever or
sanzed was held In Paris. The COM
petitors were taken TO the top Of the
Elffel tower, and a distant church spire
was pointed out TO them. Then they
had TO descend, get aboard their ma
chimes, and find their way through the
maze of streets to the church.
A large number of Sctch engineers
have gone to Japan to accept positions
on board OF war vessels. Those who
have given the matter closest attention
say the weak spot Of the Japanese navy
is It's engine rooms. It seems to be
conceded that Scotland raises more and
better engineers than any other land.

THEATRICAL NOTES

That happy satirical farce-comedy.
Hoyt's "A Texas Steer" will be given at
Grand Opera House tomorrow afternoon
and night by practically the original COM
pany that made the piece one Of the great
est theatrical successes of the past dec
ade. In a Texas Steer" the misery Of the
life Of office-seekers as told by co,ored
applicant from the newly elected con-
.gressman's district Is considered one Of
the cleverest hits that has graced the
stage in many years. Hoyts faculty or
going from the sublime to the ridiculous
in dialogue ana situations, is as amazing
as it is amusing and entertaining, and
more truisms are brought out in his pro-
ductons than in the works of any other
American playwright.
