an evidence of Japanese intention Is
noted that her cruisers arc patrolling

that she il not landing artillery at

Queer Japanese Histories.

The histories of japan have been
potent factors in molding the
thought of the people, and to an
alien this is. remarkable, as many of
these annals scarcely rise above the
dignity of chronological tables. The
Nibon Gwaishu, before the fall of
Shogunate, which it did much to
brng about was read diligently by
every japanese with any pretense
to education, and many of its inter
minable pages of births, marriages,
wars and deaths were committed,
faithfully to memory. This huge
historic Japanese catalogue, SO ex-
asperatingly uninteresting to a
Western reader, who expects a his
tory to be more than chronological
tabulation succeeded in arousing the
millions Of the Mikado's empire to
enthusiastic, tumultuous, revolution,
airy patriotism.
