PRE- EMITTING ASIA.

The partitioning of the world among
 the great powers proceeds apace. both in peace and in war. The Anglo French
 agreement is hailed as a great triumph
 of peace. Such it is. But it practically disposes of various territories almost as summarily as would a war of con- quest. That is to say. Morocco is as- signed to France, and the same power is to have a free hand in the furth7r absorption of Siam. A similar end is being attained in a different way by the diplomatico- military expedition which Great Britain has sent over the Hima= layan wall into the forbidden land of Tibet. It has already resulted in the outright declaration by the British gov ernment that Tibet belongs within the British "sphere of influence" and that no other power will be permitted to establish foothold there. The expedi- ton was largely provoked by Russian efforts to establish paramount dip,o- matic relations with with Lhassa, just as some British doings in Afghanistan

erlands. drawn from an immense East India nempire, about $150 per head; while those of Japan are only $3 per head, about one-fiftieth the imports or Holland.
 Japan is very densely populated Nearly 10000, ,0000 of her population are settled at from 400 to l475 to the square mile, nearly 30.OOO,0OO approaching the latter ,gure in density. This poulntion is largely agricultural, the averaga farm being about two acres in extent and having the character of the garden tiled wholly by hand labor than or farm in our sense. This prevalence of hand labor accounts for the extreme difficulty in finding horses for the Jap anese cavalry; the country people have no horses, because they are too poor to own them and have no room on their diminutive farms to use them. Another comparison: Japan has only eight towns of 100000 inhabitants and over, as against thirty-three for Germany, with about the same total population. Only two of these towns, Tokio and Osaka, have over 100000 inhabitants.

FIREPRooFINo WOOD.

Increased attention Is being paid to the problem of rendering wood and other easily inhammable substances fircprooof. From reports in the Ger man press ii would seem that the pro- cess of MT, Gautsch, of Munich, is very successful. The timber to be treated is placed in a vacuum. produced by pumping out the air. The cells are iherepy freed of air and the wood is then impregnated under pressure with a solution of sulphate of ammonia and borax ammonia. The color, texture, CT density of the wood is not affecte l thereby. The process renders 1t fire proof and proof against decay.

were provoked by Russian intrigues at Cabul. It may be that before this ex- petition recrosses the mountains Tibet will be put into much the same interna- tional relationship as Afghanistan.
 Nor does 1t seem unreasonable that this should be done; supposing always that the Chinese empire must be divided among the powers. Few will dispute the assignment of Mongolia, Sungaria and eastern Turkestan to Russia. But if that power thus takes the northern half of the Chinese empire she should surely acqudesce in the apportionment of the southern half to some one else. These northern provinces seem natur- ally to belong with Siberia and Kirghiz Tartary. Equally does Tibet seem to belong with India and Burmah. The great ridge of the Kuen-Lun and Allyn Tagh would then form a natural divid- ing line between the British and Rus slan empires in Asia. just as the Hima- layas do now between British India and Tibet. Such division would extend the southern boundary of Russian Asia eastward along about the same parallel of latitude it has now reached in the west, and similarly extend the British Indian boundary north of Bengal and Burmah to the latitude it has already reached north of the Punjaub.
 Such acquisition of Tibet would be ap preciated by the British, since it would give them possession of the headwaters of all the great rivers of southeastern Asia, the Brahmapootra. the Salween, the Mekong, the Yang-Tse and the | Hoang-Ho- It would also afford them overland access to and abutment upon the inland central provinces of China We cannot see that it would be any menace to Russia, or any obstacle in her marc'i toward the opeL sea. For we cannot suppose that Russia hopes to reach the sea by way of Tibet. That could be done only by conquering Brit ish India, or by pushing on through tn southern provinces of China, neither of which courses is to be regarded as practicable. Mir. Balfour's frank an- nouncement concerning Tibet means
 anyway that, Great Britain would stren- uously resist any such Russian advance
 Taken together with Lord Lansdowne's s recent declaration concerning the Per sian gulf. it means that England will | not, if she can prevent it, let Russia reach the Arabian sea, the Bay of Ben | gal or the China sea. Perhaps that will strengthen Russia's determination to reach the Yellow sea, or, rather, to maintain perpetually the foothold she has already secured upon it's shores Certainly such notice of British pre- emption of Tibet greatly lessens the area of Asia still open for partitioning, Yet in China proper there remain the greatest population and the greatest wealth of the whole continent.-New York Tribune.

When President Nicholas Murray Butler was at college certain freshmen of his time made no scruple of stealing a pail of milk which dairyman placed outside the door of Mir.

WHENCE THE SPOTS?

Although we are told that the leopard cannot change his spots, it is certain that the markings on the fur of some animals do change. Especially is this true where the animal has a distinctive winter coat. This change has been studied by Barrett Hamilton, a British naturalist, who is of opinion that whitening of the fur generally accom- panies development of fatty tissue. which is a manifestation of insufficient oxidation, and hence of atrophy which shows itself in whitening of the hair. m some animals-man, for instance this atrophy is manifested by bald ness. That fat men are often bald is thus something more than a coinCi- dence.

HOME LIFE IN APAN.
Its Perfection Due to . Getting Close
 to Nature.

The Japanese wife and mother pre- fers to spend her afternoons at home with her children. They all go out to- gether. If only into the tiny garden. Nothing in the house can compare with the outdoors. In spring and summer they are out nearly all day. The wo- men sew and embroider under some pretty tree-a cherry, camphor, or plum tree. Here. their hands employ cd sewing, their eyes and senses de- lighted by their surroundings, watch ing the children playing. is it any won der that the Japanese woman is calm of soul? Nature is the greatest dis traction from care. they believe. Live close to nature and you will forget the little bitternesses of life. How happy seem the little children--even the bare legged ragged rascals of the poor. They twist like natural acrobats about the bamboo poles; they climb to in- conceivable heights up the trees, and cling to swaying boughs with the agil- ity of monkeys. The child in the gar den, with the watching mother. flies his kite, while his sisters, play battle dore and shuttlecock. A favorite game for indoors is called sugoroku. On a large sheet of paper various little pie lures are printed-portraits of eminent warriors or views of noted places. It is played with a dice. It is a simple Same.an it teaches the little ones the names of historical characters and places.
 Every month in Japan has it's par ticular significance to the Japanese. January. the month of the New Year; February, the mari (fox festivaD |; March. the doll festival: April. the birthday of Buddha. the month when people stroll out for hanami (hower picnic), and fields and hills are tinted with clouds of cherry blossoms: May. when the azaleas are ablaze and the picnickers flock to the beautiful gar dens; June. the templefestival; July, the celebration of the Milky Way; August, moonlight banquets; Septem- ber the month of the kikuzuki (chrys- anthemum) shows; October is a deso- late month. for the gods are said to be absent. In November the parents eel ebrate the third. fifth. or seventh anni- rersary of their children. and enter tain their friends: December, a month of work in preparation for the New Year.-Harper's Weekly.

WORK THAT BEAuTiFiES.

Backing the stove. polishing silver and brasswork, scrubbing a floor or oiling one of hardwood, beating up eggs, squeezing lemons with the hands stirring cake-all these and a hundred other little daily, duties, are direct and rapid means to the attainment of beautiful arms and in these days of in- expensive cold creams one need not be afraid of coarsegrained hands, for this can be prevented with a very little at tention to the skin.
 Sweeping is another excellent exer- else for the arms, but this must be con- sidered under separate head, as it de- velops other muscles as well. Indeed. in almost all the little housework du ties mentioned not alone the arms are benefited. For instance, in scrubbing floor nearly all the muscles are used. and especially does it bring into play the shoulder and chest muscles.-Den- yer News.

be learned. It was stated in a New York paper this morning that it was the Bordeaux mixture" of chemicals, but this was officially denied this even ing.
 The department will say only that the solution is .n the hands of the gov ernment; that its nature will be made known within a short time; that it can be used in every city and town in the country. and that it will perform the work of which 1t is designed
 The departments preparation will, according 10 plans, be given to any one who may apply for it when it is decid- ed to make it public. Al cities and towns supplied with drinking wat ar from a common reservoir will be given the formula, so that it may be applied in a manner affecting the whole com- munity.
 In an official statement given out th;s evening the department says: "We want to emphasize that it is not a universal panacea. It ought to be applied under the direction of this de- partment or the local board of health; and the department is ready to furnish information to anybody who wants it. It must be used intelligently. You have to know what the organism is that you want to destroy, and the char acter of the water; the time of year | also makes some difference. But it is | a good thing. We have checked it up here every possible way. The solution is absolutely fatal to typhoid, though so greatly diluted that it would hurt | no one, and it would be impossible to | find it in the water, it being tasteless and odorless. You could not drink enough of the water to hurt you. It

will kill algae at 30 to 100 times weaker solution than this. And engineers have for years discussed the question of ex- terminating algae. They have recom- mended covering the reservoirs to keep out the light; and also pumping air into the reservoirs; but these remedies have been tried and failed. Boston has spent four million dollars on me thods to prevent water pollution by algae, and it still remains to be seen whether they are effective.
 Tt is unfortunate for us that this re- port about Bordeaux mixture should have been published, because 1t will give the public an erroneous impres. sion as to our methods. It is not Bordeaux mixture. In this article print ed in New York some of the board of health people say that Bordeaux mixture has been used many times and does not amount to anything. Of course they are right
 We began by trying to exterminate algae in the water, and the discovery that typhoid would also be exterrninat- ed was incidental. We found that the effect of the copper solution we were using, which is not Bordeaux mixture, also had the same effect on the ty- phoid. We are working on a bulletin and will probably have it out within the next two or three weeks.
 "Algae are blue green and grass green, scums in water supplies. They get in big open reservoirs and ponds and spread over the top and have the effect of peppermint oil or machine oil. They have given trouble all over the country. Our method is applicable where they have no filtration plants and it can be used in small towns"
