Flushed with victory, triumphant in
administering crushing defeats to Rus
STA, Japan may be tempted TO be abus-
i've of her victory and may make de-
mands upon Russia which would make
peace impossible Should this be done.
the world should call a halt
Japan is ambitious What her de
signs are no one but the laps them
selves know. They are progressive and
are extremely DESTROYS for world power
and prominence as a nation.
The world admires Japan's progress
sive spirit. and reviews the Russian
Japanese war with a feeling of awe.
the victories OF the laps having been
startling in their deCisiveness.
But Japan will stand watching, espe-
Cially just now in the excitement of
victory. and if she does not tote fair
with Russia. then the world should do
q little guiding as well as watching.

Climate and Consumptives.

Some discussion has been created in
the east over the plan of Washington
physician of carrying a ship load of
consumptives to Greenland for the ben
eft of what is alleged 10 be an ideal
climate for the relief OF tuberculosis
That climate is paramount factor
in the cure of consumption is a theory
that is not supported by fact. 1t has
yet TO be proven that consumption is
more favorably affected by a dry at
mosphere than by a moist one, cold
climate than warm one. Arrest and
cure of pulmonary affections have been
and are being effected in all varieties
of climate.
Some conSUmptiveS are advised to so
to Denver which has an altitude of
5000 feet with a humidity of less than
~ per cent: others are sent TO San
Diego. which is only 80 feet above the
sea level and has an annual relative
humidity of - per cent. The tempera-
ture range of Denver is from los F. to
% +. below zero; of San Diego. lo1 to
. below the freezing point. That tenn
perature il not of the first importance
is shown by comparison of the stats
tics of recovery al Saranac lake. where
the cold is often exceedingly intense
with those obtained in the mild climate
of south Georgia and Florida.
That dry air is not essential. is es-
tablished by the fact that the favora-
BILE results secured by residence in the
rather moist regions of the south are
equal TO those in the dry. arid air of
the southwest and the western plateau.
That rarefaction. again. is not essen
.ial is shown by The cures effected at
San Diego which is practically at the
sea Ievc7 rs well as at Santa Re. with
an altitude of 7.oO0. or Asheville, 2.3o0
feet.
Agreeable occupation. rest, freedom
from anxiety. nutritious food, and out
door life 10 the widest sense, may win

their use while viewing the city.

for the purpose, and C. ]. Ferguson
was appointed to have them arranged
on the hill.

with the quality and condition OF
Umatilla county sheep. He declares
that nowhere else in the United States
is the same grade of range sheep to

of mutton, are hardy, easily kept and
make good mothers and produce a
large prcentage of increase.

May 1, the grass being very backward
in that state. The average clip of
Montana sheep will not be over seven

is wild hay and timothy, but farther
west in Gallatin valley they grow i'm

testing now to see If alfalfa will not
grow in the dry sections farther east.
