Weakness Of English Colonies

The new commonwealth OF Aus
tralia does not seem to be getting on
very we'll The population in the ten
years ending with 1901 was 3,7T1.715,
the increase being 597,462. The whole
Island continent has less popula ton
than the city OF Greater New York.
Long dependent upon England, IL
has not developed internally. "Were
Australian ports" says the Sydney
Bulletin, shut by hostile warships
tomorrow, the commonwealth would
be without guns or cartridges for its
troops, without ships or the means OF
making them. without fabrics for
clothing, without machinery for mine
or railway, without even paper on
which TO print its journals. Australia
would have TO beseech the grace OF
some master, crawl to the hand Of
Whatever power was for the time most
strong, or lapse into savagery."

In the first half OF the Sixteenth
Century the Spanish Conquistadores
seeking new fields Of conquest for the
glory OF Spain, swept up the Rio
Grande Valley. They found pastoral
settlements of Pueblo Indians prac-
Gcing agriculture through the aid of
Irrigation, carrying the precious waters
OF the Rio Grande out upon the desert
and reaping harvests from fields which
had been in cultivation beyond the
traditions of the oldest members Of the

THE IyTELLICENCEOF ANIMALS.
An English Naturalist Believes That

Than Imagined.

Sir John Lubbock has brought more
popular attention 10 the subject Of the
mental capacity Of animals than any
other writer. He has conducted many
careful investigations on the senses, in
stincts and intelligence Of animals and
insects. An interesting query pro
pounded by the English scientist re-
lates to the existence Of other organs
Of sense than ours.
''We find" he says, 'in animals com

with nerves, but the function Of which
we are as yet powerless TO explain.

THE MEERSCHAUM PIPE.
Almost Impossible TO Select q
Genuine One.

A story is told Of 5:cotcr who spent
eight Of the best years OF his life trying
10 color meersChaum pipe keeping IL
enclosed most of the time in q case sOas
70 prevent it getting scratched and its
finish being dulled by the oil and moist
ure from his hands. only to find at the
end Of that period that he had been
tendcrly nursing an imitation instead
OF the genuine "ecume de mer." The
best imitation is composed Of the par
ings Of genuine meerschaum, combined
with a mineral clay. These compost
tons can usually be determined from
the genuine mecrschaum by their
greater weight, but there Is no abso-
lutely certain test for distinguishing
the counterfeit. One method Of test is
to look for slight imperfections. Com
position bowls never exhibit these
slight blemishes. which result from the
presence Of foreign bodies in the natur-
al meerschaum however, as the blem-
ishes do not usually manifest them
selves until after the bowl has been
used for some time, the test Is not OF
much value in buying new pipes.
Meerschaum is n silicate of magnesia.
and preparatory 10 carving 1t Is soaked
in a composition Of wax and oil. The
wax and oil absorbed by the meer-
schaum are the cause of the coloring
or the pipe due to smoking, and in con-
nectiOn with the further absorption of
nicotine. Where meerschaums have
been smoked for some time without
having acquired a good color, they can
frequently be improved by rubbing,
when warm, with beeswax.

COMMERCIAL DISHONESTY.
AN ACKNOWLEDGED TRAIT or
JAPANESE MERCHANTS.
They Have No Regard For Con-
tract - Striking Contrast With
Chinese Traders.

with the treaty of peace, Japan has
seen the accomplishment of a tasI
that has been the ambition of the EN-
| pire-to hold front rank in the fam
/ lily OF nations. This has been brought
! about through such military achieve
ments as have evoked the admiration
of the civilized powers. but now 1t
seems that Japan has still before her
problem which means harder work
and greater task than that which
she had before the commencement OF
the Russian-Japanese war.
That task. is to redeem the CONNER
cial reputation OF her traders, q repu-
tation which is not enviable. Joseph
Walton, a member of the English par
Lament, a man who has spent much
time in travel and knows the people Of
the East thoroughly, says in his book
on the orient:
japanese traders are not special
ly distinguished for honesty particu-
larly In their business relations with
foreigners. We have in this a most
striking proof that the character OF
the people is largely formed by the
nature of their surroundings. For hun
ireds OF years the trading class in
Japan has occupied a very low place
IN the social scale. In the last thirty
years, since the feudal system has
been abolished. the position OF the
raiders has greatly changed. and now
some Of those who were mobiles are en-
,aged in trade; and / am told there |
S reason 20 hope that shortly bust |
less affairs In Japan will be conducted
N more honest lines"

To Build a Huge Dam.

1t was the passage Of the National
/ irrigation act which wrought won
drous change in the conditions and
4 knit together in one brotherhood all the
citizens of the lower valley, imbuing
| them with a spirit of cooperation and
enthusiasm. The Reclamation Service
took hold of the project and worked
out plan to store the vast Rio Grande
floods which were annually a source
Of much loss &c the valley and which
were wholly unutilized. This plan the
people have accepted as q salvation.
one hundred miles above FL Paso the
Rio Grande flows through a deep mar
row canyon. A dam 255 feet high
across its lower end will create the
largest artificial reservoir in this coun-
try. II will make a lake 20 miles long.
IL miles wide and from 100 to 175
feet deep. 1t will contain water enough
to cover 1000 600 acres a foot deep.
Into this vast reservoir the greatest
food the Rio Grande has ever known |
will quickly disappear and later when |
needed by 200 600 thirsty acres in the /
valley below will be released and led |
through a net work of canals and .
bitches through New Mexico into Tex .
Is, clear down into Old Mexico.
The Settlers Pay the Cost.
II will cost milliors TO do this work.
3 .000,O 900 is the figure, but what Of
hat? The settlers will gladly pay for
t. Under the magic Of irrigation Ne
lila, La Palomas and El Paso val
eys, now only dotted here and there
With green yerdure, will spring into
ull fruitage, producing harvests unri-
allied in quality and quantity. Ten
thousand new homes will cover the
Iesert plain, and Fl Paso, the central
'oint for transportation and the great
st market in the valley, will wax into
city OF 100 900 souls. Twenty thou
and acres of irrigated land support a
plendid city now. What shall II be

Peculiar Business Dishonesty.

The progress which the japanese
have made in the past fifty years
shows them to be people self
reliant and determined 10 keep on ad-
vancing towards the highest plane at
tainable, yet travellers in the East
have been surprised that the traders
OF the Occidcnt are so VIGOROUSLY dis
honest. for while the japanese are far
superior 10 the Chinese as regards
achievement OF national strength and
perseverance. yet the reverse is true
in the matter Of commercial honesty.
Il appears that the Japanese mer-
chants have no regard for a contract.
II is said that the most prosp porous
commercial houses OF Japan are man
aged not by japanese but by Chinese
The average Chinese merchant Is high
" esteemed the world over for his hon
esty; in fact a president Of one OF the
.argest corporations OF the United
States once said that he would not be
afraid TO ship a barrel OF gold coin 70
a Chinese merchant with instructions
to make use Of it In trade. but at the
end OF the year he would receive a de-
tail statement OF where every coin
went, but II this were done TO a Jap
anese merchant, he would consider
himself lucky to get back the empty
barrel.
1t is believed that the hard task
accomplished by the japanese IN the
war just happily brought TO an end
viii be a beginning 10 bring out the
genius for which the japanese have
been noted In war 10 a utilization OF
peace and commercialism.
