GIVING AWAY THEIR BRAINS.

In the employ of the United States
government are several hundred pro-
fessional men of the highest rank
who are literally giving their brains
and life work to the people.
They are under salary while per-
forming their work, but the priceless
discoveries they make, the high re-
suits they achieve in science, are all
the property of the people.
Other scientists sacredly guard their
discoveries, and sell them at enormous
prices; other professional men are
selfish and mercenary in all their ex-
periments. But the services of these
men belong to the people-the find

WHY JAPAN WILL TRIUMPH.

In the Outlook for October s.
George Kennan. the famous American
traveller. draws a comparative sketch
of Korea and Japan, which gives a
keen insight into the vast difference
in the national life of those two Ori-
entail countries.
After reading of the virile activity
of Japan as compared to the sluggish
slothfulness and almost national i'm
becility of Korea. it is not difficult to
understand the repeated triumphs of
Japan. Mr. Kenna says:
Although the strait that separates
Japan from Korea is only about a
hundred miles in width, the countries
that it divides are surprisingly differ
ent in appearance and topography, as
well as in the character of their in
habitants.
Both are mountainous and both are
fringed with islands, but in almost
every other respect they are unlike.
The mountains i'm Japan are extreme
ly irregular and picturesque in form.
and are either wooded with forests
of maple, cedar and pine. or cut into
narrow. step-like terraces of cultiva-
ton
In Korea the coast mountains stand
in long. wavily serrated ranges, are
almost invariably treeless, and show
no signs of cultivation whatever.
The whole coast of Japan is sprink-
led with neat and thriving villages
while the coast of Korea, so far as
one can see it from the deck of a
passing steamer. is apparently unin'
habited.
In Japan every picturesque island
headland or promontory is crowded
with the white tower of a lighthouse
while in Korea 1 did not see light
house between Quelpart Island an'
Chemulpo.
Along the coast of Japan the sea
fairly whitened with the sails of en-
terprising fishermen, but off the west
ern coast of Korea one sees only, no,
and then, a big two-masted junk,
type that is at least three centurie
old.
SO far as climate and fertility G

present public school course of study
and reduce the branches taught in
each grade by fully one-third. From

them to digest this number of studies
They are crippled in an attempt to

ed in thrilling manner this broad
self-sacrifice of the public servant.
He recently discovered and patent
ed a system of soil inoculatlon by
which plants gather nitrogen from the
air and deposit 1t i'm the ground.
Thus certain kinds of plants, that
have a tendency to supply nutriment
to the soil. are grated with nitrogen
nodules. which attach themselves to
the roots, draw nitrogen from the
air and distribute it in the ground.
This is a priceless discovery, and
one which might have made a fortune
for its discoverer, but after having
patented the system. Mr. Moore
decided it to the United States gov
ernment without cost to be enjoyed
perpetually by the people
The department of agriculture is
now prepared to ship these nitrogen
gathering nodules to farmers in every
part of the country The poorest
land may be inoculated with them
sunshine will be drawn down into the
roots of the plants-such as clover,
peas, beans, vetch and alfalfa. and
soil energy for future crops will thus
be stored.
Fertility can be increased by inoc-
ulation. The barren and wornout
lands can be revived and impregnated
with nitrogen. The government gets

this class of scientists is one of the
refreshing oases in the history of an

In connection with the suit for
damages against Pendleton because of
the delivery of the city sewage on a
certain tract of land near town. it
might be interesting to note that a
tract of land in Lombardy, Italy. on
which the sewage of a large city is
discharged, has been fertilized by the
sewage to such an extent that the in
come from the meadows is $500 per
acre, the land rents at $l25 per acre
annually. and supports population
of 500 to the square mile. The same
meadows have been i'm cultivation for
700 years and are 100 per cent more
productive now than before the sew
age was used as a fertilizer. The city
of Pendleton should be paid well for
its sewage. instead of paying damages

Tactically. therefore, the advantage
lies with the Japanese, though not
overwhelmingly. They captured a
considerably larger number OF guns
than they lost and ut the end Of the
lighting they occupied the battlefield
from which they pushed their enemy.
Why Is IL that the japanese. neither
