face. TO achieve that felicity one would have to be provided with a forty inch telescope, and instruments of such ad- mirable farsightedness are not yet a drug in the market. When 1t is rleces- sary to know where she is and what she is doing photograph is taken, and to the experienced and farseeing special ist she then appears on the plate with all the well defined certainty of a pin point.
 Accurately described. Phoebe is a small moon, forever in tremendous hurry, travelling at a speed of 100000 miles a day. or rather more than sixty
 miles minute. She was discovered by accident. If was while examining some photographic plates at the Harvard ob- servatory annex at Arequipa, Peru, that Professor Pickering first came upon her. After that, batch after batch of photographs of Saturn failed to contain the newcomer and no data could be se- cured. Later he obtained evidence suf- ficient to convince him that he had not been dreaming. Last summer Phoebe was not so chary of her favors. Be- tween April 16 and June 9 Professor Frost secured no less than eleven pho- tographie plates showing the satellite distinctly. All of the successful photo- graphs of the little moon have been taken by the great Bruce photographic telescope at the Harvard Arequipa ob- servatory.
 Active measures for the establishment of an observatory ct Harvard were tak- en as early as 1915. In that year committee was appointed to consider the subject, and director was exr1pow- cred to visit Europe and examine into the matter of instruments and the con- structton Of observatorles He made a report, but nothing was done until a33e. when the government turned over some instruments which had come Into it's possession 70 the Harvard trustees.

Sometimes it takes several days to play a single game. and it is conducted In absolute silence. with an occasional break for explanation or suggestion. At the War college the campaigns of the civil war will be fought over again in detail. For example. the conditions existing week before the battle of Shiloh will be given as a problem, and the students will be expected to answer the question. What then2
 The War college existed on paper as far back as 1901. It was not until the summer of 1908 that the college took definite shape. It then became. as it were, a part Of the body of the third di- vision of the general staff. This third division meets from time to time as the War college. and it has on such occa- sions General Taslker 1T. Bliss for pres ident and Major Samuel Reber for sec- retary. The precise relations between the general staff and the War college are reported to be a puzzle to nine out of every ten officers ingthe army. TO civilians the purpose of the War college seems to be clearly defined. It is the business of the college to study the larger problems of military science, to devise war plans and to train ofacars in the practical duties of their pgofes- sion. The United States does not find l 1t expedient to maintain a large stand ing army. and in. ease of war it must
 depend largely upon volunteer troops 1 It is not enough. therefore. to train 2 lcaptain to be a good captain; it is nec- essary to prepare him for the increased

It must also be remen1- bered that as. final necessity Japan could effect S& large mobilization that a corresponding increase in her war ex- penses would be natural conscQuRncA. It is aIN indisputable evidence of the wisdom which dominates Japanese af- fairs that there has thus far arisen no necessity to establish any considerable portion of this reserve on a war foot- irg. making possible further economy. As the wise financiers of Tokyo have arranged if there is in reserve a great host Of men who are soldiers in every respect except the important item Of national maintenance. Anotlaers enor- nous saving has been brought about in the heretofore costly problem of trans portatior. One of the most efficient systems oE transport ever devised by the ingenuity of man is the practically volunteer human corps Of burden bear CTS organized by the Japanese war de- pertinent, It costs nothing beyond it's rations, for it's wages are absurdly in finitesirnal.
 Every cooly employed by Russia tn Manchuria demands pay, and war pay at that. When an army depends largely I upon the good will of the native p0pu- lation of neutral country 1t cannot re- l sort to compulsory labor, and lt cannot afford to minimize the cost of the labor which it must obtain. For this reason l Russia's expense account will be vastly larger than that of her economical ele- i my. It is true that the Transsiberian railway is q government undertaking, but it is none the less expensive on that account. As matters have arranged l themselves, it has thus far proved to be the most costly and burdensome means Of Transportation ever employed by any government. The mobilization of the Baltic squadron was effected at an un& iprecedented expense. To expedite the work vast bonuses were paid. and workInen were offered double wages for l increased effort.

 The War college represents 60 novel a departure in military practice that even military men have rather hazy notion nf it's character and purpose. i Strictly speaking, of course. 1t is not 3 collage at all, especially in the academic sense.A It is designed to afford a certain class cf military men an opportunity to study war problems, The object is not 50 much to irnpart instruction as it is to apply ife knowledge already gained at west Point and other military schools to practical use. Hypothetical campaigns will be fought and much at tention will be given to the game of war. which affoEds an excellent oppor- tunity to work out strategic and tacti- cal pciDks.
 It will be the most important duty of the War college to prepare plans For the national defense, Tn this age of scien- tific warfare the lighting branch, of the goverpinent must be prepared at all times for any possible contingency.

 Tn the case of Japan considerations of finance have from the first been ac- corded as close attention as was the mobiIiEaticn Of the army or any sof the other essential prelininaries of the can1pais1. Tn military activity iron without gold is inert and falls power aIesa Sf It's own weight It requires the potent stimulation of the precious met ai to give 1t life and the power to- act. It is beginning to be understood how well Japan has prepared hereeh to en- dure a pfotracted struggle not only by an intelligent disposition of her army and navy. but also by tho most clever manipulation of financial resources ever known to tae treasury experts of any country.
 Tne Iass war oG Japan with China cost the former nation $150 GOO day.

Pickering of Harvard university and named Phoebe. Phoebe began. to manifest signs of waywardness atka very tender age. Her initial performance was sudden and total disappearauce. That was during her early infancy, and so lev persons had made her acquaintance that her prolonged absence was ex-. kremely embarrassing to her discover sr. who had celebrated her arrival with q good deal of ceremony.
 The unrllly satellite was absent for two years. quite long enough for certain envious astronomers to insinuate that Professor Pickering must have seen stars other than those which, gid the Armament. It was feared that Phoebe was mistake, a speck of dust perhaps upon the professors photographic plate. Tor several weary months Professor Pickering was the only unquestionfng believer In Phoebe. According to the accepted creed of the astronomers, Sat- urn was stilt provided with only the original eight satellitea and Phoebe was myth.
