THE ARMY CANTEEN.

L Is INTERESTING to note that the
fight for the restoration of the army
canteen has been taken up by at least
one society of women. 1t is the Woman's
Army and Navy leag que. Through its
president, Mrs. Josephine Kelton, this
organization recently presented to the
senate committee on military affairs A
petition asking that the law abolishing
the canteen be repealed. 1t is not
likely that any action on this matter
viii be taken at the present session of
congress. but there is little doubt that
within the next few years the canteen
viii be restored.
An experience of five or six years has
taught the country that it should never
have been abolished. Competent milf
tary authorities, with the exception Of
General Miles and perhaps one or two
others, are unanimously of the opinion
that more harm than good was done by
eliminating the canteen. It has been
pointed out time and again that the in
crease in the number of assertions. the
increase of drunkenness and other Of
fenses is directly attributable to the
canteen's absence.
Soldiers who, when they could get
beer and light wines to drink in their
canteens never drank TO excess, now
visit vile saloons and disorderly re-
sorts and drink themselves into IN
consciousness. We believe the police
records of Salt Lake City. and OF every
city near which there is an army post.
viii show an increase of IawIessness
among the soldiers. Only recently a
teamster shot and killed one soldier at
Fort Douglas and seriously wounded
another in a drunken brawI. The men
had become intoxicated in a down
town resort
That dead soldier would proba bly
been alive today. his slayer would not
be wearing the brand of Cain, if there
had been a canteen at Fort Douglas.
The idea of having the government in
a way, in the retail liquor business il
distasteful. All of us admit that. But
we must not be wilfuily blind TO an
evil which We know to exist. Many of
our soldiers VIII drink. If they cannot
drink in a canteen they will drink off

How much better it is to let them do

Japanese Gold Fish Farms.

From the Geographical Magazine,
Although the goldfish occurs in a wild
state in Japan. it is probable that China
some 400 years ago furnished the stock
from which the wonderful varieties of Japa-
nese goldfish have been bred. 1t is re-
ported that in feudal days, even when
famine was abroad in the land. and many
people We're starving, the trade in goldfish
was tlourishing
The demand at present appears 10 be
without limit. and the output shows 4 Sub
stantiaI increase each year. Many tiiou-
sand people make a living By growing gold
fish for market, and hundreds of peddlers
carry the fish through the stree.s and along
the country roads in wooden tubs sus-
pended from a shoulder bar
The leading goldfish center is koriyama
near The ancient capital city of Nara. Here
are $50 independent breeding establish

the millions. One farm which / visited was

RUINS OF SOUTH AFRICA.
Relics Found of the Finest Nature
Worshiping Shrine Known to Man.

From the Geographical Journal.
Richard N. Hall. who has given eight
wears to the study of the ancient monu-
ments In southern Rhodesia, says that none
of the hundreds of ruins has been more
than partially explored. Many important
ruins have been seen only by casual trav-
elers, and the work of unearthing only a
part of the great Zimbabwe area would be
more than the labor of lifetime. Still,
researches have made great progress In the
past few years. There are in Rhodesia no
less than 300 distinct ruins and groups OF
ruins. Only a few scores of these are en-
titled to rank as ancient" The larger
part of them probably do not date back of
the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth CEN
turtles.
There IS overwhelming evidence at the
Great Zimbabwe of the ancient civilization
and arts possessed by the builders of the
earliest period. The Zimbabwe temple is
the finest and most intact example of a
nature-worshiping shrine known to the
world. Its construction points unmistak-
ably to some knowledge of geometry and
astronomy on the part of the builders. 1t Is
quite certain that even the cruder methods
at Zimbabwe of applying this knowledge
which was common to the ancient Semitic
peoples, were imported from the near east
and did not originate in southeast Africa.
The right of ascension of the sun, the
Eelacal rising and the meridian passages
of stars are believed to have been noted at
Zimbabwe These ancient builders were
also past masters in the science Of military
defense the walls showing that the builders
were military strateglsts of the highest or
der. Their gold ornaments, finely designed
dengTaved, could not have been the work
of an uncivlized people, and the hundreds
of ancient gold mines show that they were
skilled in metallurgy and picked out rich
shoots patches and pockets with marvellous
cIeverness. 1t is estimated that from these
widespread mines they extracted $50. 900 900
of gold.

sun enough and If no miracle occurred the
light would kill them finally burning off
the skin first and afterward attacking the
raw flesh.
But a miracle does occur The skin

when it suddenly came on thick. We were
clcse-hauled and had just about wind

shipping, and you know how vessels drift

Well, we hadn't heard a peep all day and

when 1 heard the man at the wheel give q
little cry, and. looking astern, there, not
a cables length away, was dingy, raw
eled-out Portuguese brig slipping right
across our wake.
They hadn't made a sound and they
didn't even then. though our old man got
black in the face with cursing them Tor
their sins. There was black whiskered
old fellow, with his coat collar turned Up
about his ears, at the wheel, but he scarce
ly looked our direction; only once he wag-
ged his beard at and threw one arm
over his head in a funny way, and then
squinted aloft again. paying no more at

The stones of the Rock creek bridge at
