give her money to purchase clothing and
necessaries. and instructed merchants

AFFINITY OF METEoRITEs.
More Numerous in Noun
famous Areas.

A total of ga meteOrites was known up
to 1903, of which there were 1872 irons and
only "A stones in the western hem
fsphere, and 299 stones and only IS irons
in the eastern hemisphere. The records
show only the fall of $50 of these meteor
ties, dating back to the fifteenth CEN
fury. Prof. Berwerth, of Vienna, de-
spite this small number of known
specimens, calculates that 900 meteorites
must fall to the earth each year, not
counting shooting stars that disappear
in the atmosphere, and that So of these
at least should come under observation.
Prof. Berwerth finds that meteorites
have been chiefly recorded in civilized
countries, but that in many instances
they are more numerous in thinly set
tied districts. and that they have an espe-
cial affinity for mountainous areas.

Japs Buying Our Rice.

JapeneSe contractors, said to repre-
sent the Japanese Imperial Govern
ment, have been quietly at work in
the rice belt of Louisiana and Texas
securing options on large supplies of
rice grown in this district, to be
shipped to Japan to supplement the
war stores for the Mikado's invading
army.
A Japanese merchant was in Hous-
ton Monday comforting with General
Passenger Agent Anderson of the
Southern Pacific and that nighta,1le-
parted for San Francisco In an in
terview the merchant Stated that his
object in going TO San Francisco was
TO arrange for the sale among Japan
csc merchants and residents in Cali
fornia of ten carloads of rice week,
but it is believed that his transactions
really cover contracts for the Japan
csc government, which, it is pointed
out, would not buy outright, but
would handle such matter of contra
band supplies through agents. 1t is
considered significant that Mr.. An
derson declined to state whether the
supplies were for the J apanese gov
ernment or not. The first shipment is
expected to go forward about June 2.
There are hundred or more Jap
anese rice farmers settled in Texas
raising rice and recently two came
direct from Osaka with 800, 900 each
to invest in rice lands. Il is now be-
lieved that this is part of well.
laid plan of the Japanese government
to secure control of a large part Of
the Louisiana and Texas output Of
rice in view of the probable long du
ration of the war with Russia anG
with the view of having an inexhaust
ible supply of the native japanese
staple food stuffs upon which to draw
at will.
The first carload of sample rice
consisting of twenty tons, left Hous
