The caves in the Mendip hills in Eng
land are Of vast extent, perforating
two masses Of limestone lying on Ell
ther side of a core of old red sandstone
forming the center of the Mendips.
Some are "swallet holes" absorbing
rivers, others stalactite caverns. One,
called Wookey hole, marks the emer-
gence in the form Of the river Axe Of
two streams SWALLOWED" some miles
away. One of these swallets is 500 feet
deep. Another cave, called Swildon' S

What 1t Is and Where 1t Finds Its
Highest Development In japan.

Highest Development In Japan.
The ancestor worship Of the Japa-
nese is no superstition. 1t is the great
people easily make fun of it, says one
of their writer's, ''but therein lies the
philosophy of our patriotism" 1t was
of this feeling that Lafcadio Hearn
wrote: "It is probably the most pro-
found and powerful Of the emotions of
the race, that which especially directs
national life and shapes national char
acter. Patriotism belongs to it. Loyal
ty is based upon it. The soldier who to
make path for his comrades through
the battle deliberately filings away his
life obeys the will and hears the APP
prevail of invisible witnesses"
This is Yamato Damashii (the soul Of
JAPAN. 1t found it's highest develop
ment in the lives of the military
knights, the samurai of feudal days,
whose code Of precepts formed the Blu
shido, SO cleverly expounded by DR. Nj
trobe. Since the beginning of the pres
ent war there have been many eXpla-
nations of the remarkable Japanese
successes, but more than ever before it
has been shown to be 1.-The spirit that
Quickeneth" which has 'won the bat
ties on the Yalu, in Korea and Manchu-
ria" 1.-The spirit that quickeneth" which
made the wonderful, long sustained at
tack on the superbly defended fortress
of Port Arthur.
There is a widespread notion that
the Japanese soldiers are fatalists be-
cause when they join the colors in war
times they call themselves kesshitai
determined to die. But only i'll q re-
stricted sense can they be called fatal
lists They count their lives as forfeit,
it is true, but only in the sense that
each man is quite willing to die and
expects when his crisis comes to give
his life if necessary for the success of
his task. He hopes to come back, but
only as a victor. Better far his bones
bleach in a foreign land than that he
should return to his home defeated or
with his work unaccomplished. This
is the real meaning of kesshitai. 1t is
not that the soldier Is bound at any
event to throw his life away, but that
in any event where success may be ac-
complished by his effort he will win
even at the cost of his life-he will sue

Importance of VIII Power.

Force of character comes from a
strong will. Characters that are not
dominated by a powerful will must
prove weak and unavailing in mo-
ments of emergency and temptation.
If such q one attempts to achieve any
thing in life, he or she will fail at the
first disappointment and discourage
ment. Force Of character carries one
through physical sufferings and grief
in a way that makes another ashamed
Of himself or wonder at the secret Of
the heroism. In our whole health cur
riculum there Is nothing SO important
as the cultivation of a strong WILL
which gives perfect faith in ones abili-
ties and powers, and in our moral and
spiritual world there is no factor great
er for good results than that force Of
character which is often the direct
outcome Of a good physical condition
In a clean, healthy body there are apt
to be a clean soul and mind, especially
If a will that has been properly train
ed and educated dominates the whole
life. People should be as ashamed Of
being sick lest death should overtake
them as they are Of being caught in
crime or wickedness Of any kind. Let
the two go together, and we will have
less sickness In the world Or at least
less Of the imaginative sickness

The Lower Eocene Horse

We may imagine the earliest herds
Of horses in the lower Eocene (Eohip-

Older Than the Chinese.

Older even than China, the oldest ex-
listing nation, are the cliff dwellings OF
southwestern United States, homes OF
a race whose very name has persisted
from the earth. Explorers, puzzllng
through the Mancos and Casa Verde
canyons Of Arizona and New Mexico,
found the houses of this strange peo-
pIe in the widest and most inaccessl-
bile of the mountain sides. Did the cliff
jewellers antedate the pyramids OF
Egypt? Were they of blood relation to
the early inhabitants of the land where
the Nile is god? Some students are
prepared to answer both questions
aff1rmatively and to give what is to
them abundant proof. The pottery from
their long wrecked homes suggests
Egypt, and the few inscriptions found
have similar suggestions. Mumm1es,
bodies wrapped in cloth, feathers from
the breast Of the turkey, have been dug
from burial places among the cliffs, and
In bone and hair much unlike the In
dian of today there is hint OF resem-
blance to a more oriental type. If the
cliff jewellers left any descendants,
however remote, they are doubtless the
Mok1 and Zuni Indians, who, resem-
bling them in habits and appearance,
are their closest kinsmen. - Chicago

HOW Patent Leather Is Made.

Japanned leather, generally called
patent leather, was first made in Amer
lea. A smooth, glazed finish is first
given to calfskin in France. The leath-
er is curried expressly for this purpose,
and particular care is taken to keep it
as free as possible from grease. The
skins are then tackled on frames and
coated with a composition of linseed
oil and lumber in the proportion of
eighteen gallons of oil to five of UNI
Der, boiled until nearly solid and then
mixed with spirits of turpentine to the
proper consistency. Lampblack is al
so added when the composition is APP
piled in order to give color and body.
From three to four coats of this are
necessary to form a substance to re-
ceive the varnish. They are laid on
with q knife or scraper. To render
the goods soft and plant each coat
must be very light and thoroughly
dried after each application. A thin
coat is afterward applied of the same
composition of proper consistency to
be put on with a brush and with suffi-
cient lampblack boiled in it to make
perfect black. When thoroughly
dry it is cut down with a scraper hav-
ing turned edges, when it is ready to
varnish. The principal varnish used is
made of linseed oil and russian blue,
boiled to the thickness Of printers ink.
1t is reduced with spirits of turpentine
to suitable consistency to WORK with
brush and then applied in two or
three separate coats, which are scrap
ed and pumiced until the leather is per-
fectly filled and smooth

Commissioner Thomas Issues Instruc-
tons About Licenses.

Stove, Sept. 2i.-H. G. Thomas, state
commissioner of fish and game, is send
ing to town clerks and county wardens
application blanks for license to hunt
deer, together with the following let
ter:
The law enacted by the legislature
in 1904, requiring nonresident hunters
to pay a license OF SIS to hunt aud take
enc deer in Vermont during the open
season, was approved October 21st, one
day before the open season commenced.
In the necessary haste to formulate Ii
censes, instructions to wardens, and dis
tribnting throughout the state that
hunters might not be deprived of the
privilege granted under this law, errors
were made in the form of license. Con-
ditions and circumstances observed ne
cessitated new forms throughout for
1905. If you have in your possession
any blank applications for licenses left
from last year, you will destroy the
same. Licenses issued last year were
printed on white paper and most Of
them are probably in possession of the
licensee. There are those who might
attempt to use them the coming open
season, therefore, the licenses for 1905
are printed ON red paper. The dates are
all printed in both application and IL
cense, except the date when the license
was taken out
The season being shortened to six
days | enclose applications and licenses
signed, the same 10 be filed out and
signed BIZ either the town clerk or
county warden and delivered to appli-
cant upon receipt Of SIS, which you
will forward with the application inn
mediately, and not wait until Saturday
when the season closes. See that no
blanks are lost or destroyed as they
win be charged to your Office, and those
not used must be returned to the com-
missioner October 30th."
Applications are already coming in
for licenses from non-residents The
open season this year is from October
% to IS, both inclusive.
