JAPAN's BANK DEPOSITS.
Banks Of the Island Empire Hold
More Cash Now Than Ever
Before.

Seventy per cent Of the japanese
expenditures in the present war with
Russia remain In Japan. and, as . re-
suit, the deposits In the banks Of the
island kingdom are larger than they
have ever been before" said Franklin
B. Morse, son Of the first American
consul to Osaka, reports the Washing
ton Post.
The working Of this is simple and
accounts for present conditions in
Japan. The Japanese army lives on
rice and fish. The government has
given its orders for these provisions to
the farmers and fishermen Of Japan,
who. when they receive the money de-
posit It in banks mostly, and when q
national loan is called for, are pre-
pared to loan the government the very
money that they have been paid. Add
to this the fact that all the powder
used By the Japs in the field Is manu-
featured at home, and It II evident
why there Is but 30 per cent. left to 90
out Of the country"

DOG FINDS RICHES. M GEMS
Canine Gets Mixed Up in Rapids and
Is Disentangled with Pearls
Clinging to Him

Two French Canadians and a blue
nose" citizen Of New Brunswick, who
have been hunting along Lobster stream
In Maine for three weeks with span
success, returned to Bangor, carrying
half q pint Of pearls, all Of them taken
from Lobster rapids one rainy morn
ing In a manner described below. Up
to the present time these three have gil
been citizens of unimpeached veracity.
They had taken a setter dog to camp
TO help them in shooting partridges,
but they found so many fieas upon him
that he was compelled to stay outside
In disgrace. One morning about q
week ago they heard the dog yelping for
help from the stream. On going to his
assistance they discovered that he was
attached to some object under water
which threatened to drown him. It re-
Quired strong pull to free the dog
from the rocks. On taking him to camp
the party discovered that his long, red
hair was thickly spattered with the
shells Of mussels, which had closed upon
his coat so tightly that he could not get
free. On opening the shells in order to
free them from the hair, they uncovered
nearly so large pearls, all Of good color,
and fairly free from blemishes. At the
lowest estimate the citizens think that
the pearls they have secured will sell
for $500, enough to pay for hunting trips
for several years.
