4 MIR IN POLAND,

War isn't Russia's only trouble. Since the outbreak of the war the Rus sian government has deemed it advis- able to strengthen the police force in many revolutionary cities. In Warsaw and other Polish towns the house por- ters have been organized as an auxil- iary police. This vexatious measure was prompted by the public protests that followed the patriotic" demon- stration which the authorities attempt ed to organize on February 21. About two thousand workmen collected in the streets with the evident purpose of checking any demonstration in favor of the war. The police had to abandon their purpose, and the crowd began singing revolutionary songs and cheer ing for the independence Of Poland. It is generally admitted that the war and especially the Russian reverses have inspired the Polish patriots with new hope. The Russian government was, therefore, obliged to order general in crease of the police force throughout Poland, including even small villages. The Polish contingent in the Russian army is limited to fifteen per cent. of the whole. Latterly, however, so many Poles have been sent to the Far East that this limit has been greatly exceed ed in Manchuria, where more than dou- ble the usual number of Poles are in the ranks. Last October, when the an- nual batch of recruits drew lots for ac- tive service, the number of exemptions was much reduced. At Lodz many ar rests have taken place. On February 29 nearly four hundred persons were arrested in the twenty-four hours. The police told them that they were sus- pected of being Socialists, but that if they would volunteer as soldiers they would not be prosecuted.

SIGNIFICANT FIG URi iS.

The figures Of our trade with Japan and Russia are interesting. It appears that in 1865. about the beginning of genuine trade relations with Japan, she bought from the United States goods os the value of 41.913. and sold to the United States goods of the value of $2S5.176. Tn 1869, her purchases rose to $1, ,291,936, and her sales to sS,245,S17 In 1908, her purchases footed up in value $20 s3S, 1892, and her sales $44,143,72S In 1865, Russia purchased from the Urated States goods of the value of soS2, ,2l9, land sold to the United States goods of the value of s1,332, POP In 1869, her purchases footed up $4,S2O, 495, and her sales s1,1S1,f54. In 1903. she bought from the United States goods of the value of s16,971 ,690, or less than the purchases of Japan by sS,962. 002. and she sold to the United States goods of the value of s9.262,96s, or less than the sales of Japan by the comfortable sum of ss4.ssO,75s.
 This doesn't necessarily indicate that where the treasure is the heart is, but it does show that Japan's trade is well worth having.

The Japanese gre not new to the sea. In the eleventh or twelfth century they were the most dashing pirates of the East. They used junks-small ships with scrap of sail, but quite seawor- thy. With these junks the Japanese roamed the seas, going everywhere along the Chinese main, ravaging the coasts. trading and bringing home priceless works of art from China. It was not until long afterward that the ruling authorities of Japan, under the great Emperor Hideyoshi, decided that it suited their purpose to shut off com munication with the outside world and to live to themselves. trading merely among their own islands. The old Jap anese vikings were reduced to simple fishermen. and the period of internal feudatory wars began.

Ida Tarbell, who has had some expe- rience in journalism" doesn't seem to like it. Says she: When woman en- ters the office of great daily she is painfully conscious that she is wo- man-just woman. She receives her first assignment, does her best on it, and next morning finds that not a word of it Is used. She takes her next as- signment, and perhaps two of the ten inches she wrote is used. Finally she goes to the busy man with the glasses at the night desk and asks why She is coldly informed that her first articles were rot" She thinks it is brutal and does not understand why the men ig- nore the fact that she is a woman. Then she wants to quit. In lots of cases she does quit. Anyway she mustn't cry. Tears may be forceful weapon in. matrimony, but never in an editorial room.

The other day a Maine travelling man. got into trouble in an unexpected way. His parents celebrated their gold en wedding. and the drummer had long planned to spend the day with them. But when the day arrived he found that he was too far from his old home to get back to it, so he sent telegram to his father. He thought that it was good time to get off a joke on the old man, so he merely sent the message, Is marriage a failure?" He was somewhat taken aback when he got the reply. Marriage is not, but the results some times are.''

Other races of Asia, notably the Arabs, have dis played high capacity for certain forms of architecture more especially.

The investigations of the geological survey have brought to light facts about the enormous quantity of under ground water contained in the crust of the globe which are calculated to as tonish the ordinary reader. Below a depth of about six miles it is believed that no water can exist in the rocks, because the tremendous pressure prob ably closes all pores; but above that level the amount of underground water is estimated to be equal in quantity to one-third of all the water contained in all the oceans. If poured over the land surface of the globe the underground water would be sufficient to cover it to uniform depth of from 5000 to $500 feet.

A story of an old crofter who appear ed before the commission to apply for a reduction of rent was recently told at a meeting in Glaegow. The number of cattle on the farm led Sheriff Brand to observe that surely the croft could not be in such a bad way as it's owner would seek to show. 'Och, replied the old fellow. you should see the bit beas- ties.'' ''What like are they?" queried the sheriff. They're as lean, sir, as Pharaoh's kine.'' How lean was that?" asked the sheriff, doubtless thinking that he had cornered the applicant. Like flash came back the answer: "so lean, sir, that they could only be eaten in vision
