POSSIBLE TRIPARTITE ALLIANCE.

The new Anglo Japanese treaty of
alliance, which takes the place of the
old one having year yet to run, is the
japanese answer to the mutterings in
Russia of resuming the contest when
she is rested. The new treaty is
stronger than the old, inasmuch as 1t
leaves out the option of one ally not
coming to the aid of the other unless
attacked by more than one power.
This was one of the provisions of the
treaty between Russia and France
also, and its Importance in confirming
the war to the far east and to the
original contestants was not less i'm
portant than the treaty between Eng
land and Japan. In fact it may be

PAYMENTS TO INDIANS.
Ruling Of the Department is Changed
Once More.

Muskogee |. r.. March 15.-The In
dian agent will issue an order tomor-
row again changing the ruling under
which the lands o. the Indians must
now be sold through the agency. The
rule now Is that the purchaser must
pay the money to the Indian in month
ly payments of $40 each. The purch-
'.' puts the entire amount of money
into the bank but the Indian can only
draw $40 of it each month. The ord.
er has been changed by the secretary
Il the interior so that the Indian can
w $50 per month, and, if, in the
judgment ot the Indian agent, the
Indian has sufficient business ability
to handle his funds, he may be allow
ed all his money in one payment, or
he may be allowed to draw as much OF
it as the agent thinks he can handle
FivantSgeou'yt .f'lJe original ptS
was to pay the Indian $40 per month
to keep him from squandering it. Men
who have had dealings and years of
experience with Indians say that the
best way to get an Indian TO squan-
der money is to pay IT to him in month
ly installments, and these men believe
that the new plan will be a failu,a.
It will not be of such 0reat proper
tions, however.as the monthly payment
rule has practically stopped all LAM

All this, however, belongs to the fu-

In what way is the growth of plants
affected by electricity? Plants trans
form the energy of the suns rays into
chemical energy Though the heat pro
duced by the electric current may have
some direct effect, especially in ger
mination the electrical energy supplied
cannot, in general, replace or even
greatly reinforce the energy Of sun
shine. 1t is rather to be regarded as
a stimulus to metabolism and all the
vital processes. One of these is the
capillary elevation of water, which is
promoted by positive electric current
flowing upward. This is one possible
explanation Of the promotion of growth
by electricity, and though in some
cases the best effect is obtained by di-
recting the positive current downward,
or in the opposite direction to the as
sumed principal flow of sap these ex-
'ceptions may mean that more food is
supplied by the leaves than is common
ly supposed. Another possibility is an
increase in activity in both leaves and
roots. The electrical influence on the
flow of sap, however, appears to be
proved by the fact that electroculture
is beneficial only in connection with an

easily reduce the cost by using rustic

Ocean Yachting.

Ocean yachting is one sport that is
absolutely in the hands Of amateurs.
Polo is another. and perhaps there is a
third Some yachtsmen may be over
eager to win races, and yacht races
furnish pretty nearly their share of
disputes, but it can at least be said of
the men who race the big yachts that
amusement and glory are the only re-
wards they strive for No yachtsman
pursues yachting for the money there
is in it. There is no shadow of profess
sionalism upon it. The sailors and
shippers are frankly and honorably
hired men, and the owners are indis-
putably amateurs. And it is a rare
distinction in any sport nowadays to
be free from professionalism The col
lege games and contests of one kind or
another are now the chief stronghold
of amateur sport in this country and
the price of keeping them clear Of men
who follow athletics for the dollars Tor
their equivalent that is in them is a
vigilance at least as untiring as is ira

takes a little stricter vigilance than is
