1.-THE Boots of Isaiah. f"

Jacob BOehme, the mystic
shoemaker" once wrote a pam.
phlet which he called reflections
on the Treatise of Isaiah Stiefel."
One of BOehme's biographers had
never. heard of that theological.
But he knew enough German to be
aware that '"stiefel" meant
"bOot," and he was further mis-
led by the fact that .Boehme was
a cobbler as well as a philosopher.
So he made "a brilliant shot and
spoke of the pamphlet in question
as Boehme's Reflections on the
Boots of Isaiah" In this guise it
passed into several catalogues.

MODERN PIRATES PARADISE
Els Sea Robbery Flourishes Along
China Coast in the Vicinity
of Canton Delta.

Piracy ffourishes in the Canton
delta and along the China coast in
that vicinity. The last report OF
the British consul general at Can.
ton has an interesting story of
this modern piracy. During the
past year there were half a dozen
serious attacks on British steam
launches. Chinese passenger
launches and boats are frequent.
iy held up and plundered. Com
plants are made to the local au-
thofities, but nothing is really
done to protect trade. Even with,
in the precincts of the harbor pi.
rates and robbers plumber and
loot with impunity. The people
are left to protect themselves as
best they may and such is their
fear and dread of having anything
to do with Chinese authorities
that no man, whatever his griev.
ance or wrong, will readily ven.
ture to apply to the magistrate for
assistance or redress.
This insecurity of life and prop
erty tells seriously against all de-
velopment of trade. From the silk
districts come repeated CON-
plants of Matchmaking by local
bandits. Foreign goods sent into
the interior under transit passes
are pirated and only in one single
instance, after Is months of argu-
ing and battling with the officials,
has a foreign consul succeeded in
obtaining the recovery of a few
articles and the arrest OLA few
men, who the magistrates gravely
says are the culpIits.
In one case a HOngkong junk
was pirated and the cargo landed
in broad day light under the.eyes
of the local officials by the villag-
ers, yet nothing was done and no
redress could be obtained. The
kwangsi rebellion, which. has
taxed all the resources of the pro:
vincial government to suppress,
was the direct outcome of corrup-
tion and peculation. Left with
out food and pay, the sold o S.of
Marshal su took to the hills and
started an Instruction.

DIRECTS ARMY. BY PHONE.
Every Stroke Correctly Timed by
Field Marshal 0yama, Who Util-
ICES the Latest Methods.

Among many things which the
japanese have done during the
war which they are now waging,
and which have attracted the at
tention of the world, their use of
the telephone is one. AS each
advance was made or a trench
was dug connections were made
with headquarters by telephone,
says the Electrical Review. Thus,
not only was all important infor-
nation transmitted Immediately
to the commander, but fighting
was directed from the latter
point by the same means. The
commander was able to direct the
fire of the guns and to order ad.
vances when the proper time ar
rived. The telephone in this serv.
ice has taken the place of the
courier and does the work better
and more quickly. By its ability
to communicate instantly with
many and widely separated points
not only are the army's operations
directed more effectively, but one
commander is enabled to control
a larger force than was possible
under the old system. Could Field
Marshal Oyama have directed the
operations of 100000 men and
have timed his strokes so exactly
had he been forced to depend upon
orders carried by horse? How
could he have controlled fight.
ing line hundred miles long?
Without the telephone the opera
lions would have been carried on
by a number of generals, each act
ing according to a certain plan, but
depending largely upon his own
judgment for what to do and
when to do it. That the fight
would have been carried on az
bravely none can doubt, but the
telephone coOrdinated the actions
of each division and reduced the
armies to one vast machine.
Nothing was left to chance; every
stroke was correctly timed, and
the cOmmander-in-chief was at
once informed of its results. Even
the flying columns were followed
by the engineering corps, and the
result of every skirmish and the
taking of every village were
known within a short time al
headquarters.

there was one guard inside the room

Very. few people realize the vast

they took to suppress the grasping
