political economy have during late
years given careful consideration to
commercial development and material

attendant advantages and disadvan-

commercialism, appropriate its salient
features and avoid the dangers threat

course, Japan proposes to get in on
the ground floor when it comes to
furnishing her neighbors with food
stuffs and other commodities. AS be-

will try to profit from this situation OF
affairs. japan has recently passed
through the crisis of great war, must
repair her losses caused by this con-

time, it behoovss her to be diplomatic

world, We Asiatics can stand alone !;
We can do our manufacturing and

ODD CUSTOM IN MOROCCO.
Estates Of Fallen Favorltes Invariably
Confiscated


II is a custom in Morocco that all
the property OF an official reverts at
his death to the crown. The logic
(which leads to such results is simple
for the government argues that all
fortunes thus accumulated consist OF
moneys illegally retained by the au.
thorities. A governor when appoint.
ed is probably possessed of no con-
siderable fortune. When he dies he
may be a millionaire. Whence came
this wealth? Squeezed most certain
ly from the tribes under his authority.
and therefore amassed only by the
prerogatives OF the position in which
the Sultan had placed him.
II has never struck the Moorish
government that these great fortunes
might more honorably be returned to
the people from whom they were stol.
en-. The result is entire confiscation
to the crown, including often such pri.
vate property as the governor may
have been possessor OF before his APP
pointment.
When the mighty fall in Morocco
the crash brings down with them
their families. even uncles and cous.
dns, and all connected with them, and
IL is not seldom that the sons OF great
governors, who have been brought up
in the luxury of slaves and horses and
retinues OF mounted men, have to go

LUNAR RAINBOW IN GEORGIA.
Unusual Phenomenon Reported to the
Scientific American.


Scientific American.
A curions and unusual phenomenon,
in the form OF rainbow for which the
moon instead of the sun furnished the
light, was observed here on the night
of June 10.
heavy rainstorm, accompanied by
considerable thunder, occurred Just
before moonrise. AS the clouds re.
tired to the west the luminary rose
and the bow was first observed, only
the extremlties for about 25 degrees
being visible, the moon at that time
being concealed behind a small cloud
For about twenty minutes the bow in.
creased In brightness, and at the end
OF that time could be clearly traced
Throughout its entire length. At each
end the red and blue colors could be
plainly distinguished, but the re.
mainder of the arc showed only as a
light streak across the clouds.
The conditions for the phenomenon
were almost ideal, the moon being but
a few days past full, the cloud screen
occupying the proper position, and. as
IL occurred just at moonrise, the bow
was seen well up in the heavens.
After the clouds had almost entirely
melted away, leaving only a slight
haze through which the stars shone,
portions of the bow could still be
clearly discerned.-Poulan correspon.

was In financial straits and wished to
borrow money on his niece's estate.
To compensate for such a loan he
would have to insure her life for its
value, but could not afford TO have
this insurance become known. as II

and ruin his credit The company.
therefore, agreed to write the insur-

usual, the young woman went into
commissions and died. Before her
