WOMEN WORKERS IN JAPAN.

The remarkable increase during
the last few years in the NUMBER ol
women employed in various branches
of commercial life in Japan must De
REGARDED as a very significant Sign
of the times. Not content with the
occupations which have almost eA'
ciusively belonged to females, they
have now invaded those fields "hlch
have hitherto been considered as pe-
LONGING 10 the male sex. Inc eA-
pertinent made in the employment OIL
women as clerks and b~ookkeepefs
has been found satisfactory, and we
now find girls employed by many OIL
the firms and stores in TOXIC ana
other large cities, The employment
of women in these various dlrectlohs
will do much toward emanclpatlnS
the Japanese women, who nave until
now been entirely dependent on men
for the shaping of their destlnles. IL
is only natural, under such clrcum-
stances, that female education shoula
engage serious public attention. Inc
number of girls receiving a school
education, it is stated, is now more
than eight times the number OF
at school ten years ago. More re-
markable are the figures given by the
Toxic Educational Society. Fifteen
years ago the percentage Of females
admitted to the training school for
teachers was less than twenty, as
compared with the men, but to-day
the rate has been completely re-
versed, the number of male appll-
cants being now about Is per cent.
OF the total. It is said that women,
as teachers, are proving themselves
superior to men, and that there IS
consequently more demand for the
former than the latter. There is no
doubt that the employment OF "o-
men in the various branches OF busl-
ness activity Will steadily increase
with the advance Of education among
them.-Japan Chronicle.

THE A DAY.

The Arabic day begins at sunset,
and the particular one which begins
any month is that on which the new
moon is first seen after sunset. Apart
from the cloudiness Of the sky, there
NAV be and generally is considerable
difficulty in seeing the crescent, lost
as it must always be in the radiance
of the set sun, and consequently there
is always uncertainty for some time
after sunset whether the day that has
lust begun is to be reckoned with the
last month or as the first of a new
month.

THE FACE OF AN ENGINE.

A writer in the London Saturday
Review comments upon the fact that
a railway engine has a face and that
the face has an expression. Look
at an engine" says the writer, and
you can see that n looks noble
simply noble in its strength; another,
gigantic in force, but not noble-an
expression Of mere brute strength.
Some engines have a lofty. almost
supercilious, expression; others al
most foolish. Some have an air Of
SNUG stoutness. Then there are en-
gines that distinctly look angry and
others comparatively gentle. What
is the key to this physiognomy?
Where is the seat of expression? On
the whole, it seems to be the funnel"

HIGH COMBS IN VOGUE AGAIN.

High combs are inevitable since
the Paris %autocrat have decreed the
return of the D%irectoire styles. Even
women whose rotund figures make
the fashion ridiculous, as far as they
are concerned, are showing signs OF
howing to the command. Directoire
it. is to be, and already the hair is
being piled up. High combs are be-
ING unearthed. In the street they
give the necessary tilt to the small
and lopsidedlooking hats. Some Of
+na new Directoire combs have Egyp-
tian symbols, and some women have
the idea carried out in ornaments on
the hat and the belt buckle. One

4 MONSTER CANNON.
BIGGEST GUN IN WORLD BUILT
: FOR OUR COAST DEFENSEs.
Weighs 100 Tons and Fires $500
Pound Projectile Over Thirty
Miles-Now Being Tested
at Sandy Hook.

AS In the case of good many other
things, the United States leads the
world in the building of big ordnance.
There is now at Sandy Hook proving
grounds the biggest cannon ever
turned out in the world. Not even the
Krupp gun works Of Germany have
ever dreamed of making such a gun.
The weapon referred to is 20 yards
long and weighs Ii tons. The projec-
tile discharged by this monster Is 16
inches in diameter and five feet long
and weighs ton and quarter.
The charge of smokeless powder is
of 1000 pounds weight, and when the
projectile' leaves the muzzle it is trav-
cling at the rate of 1900 feet second
The cost of each shot fired, at the low
est estimate. is $500. :
The gun has been discharged eight
times. 1t is calculated that it can be-

GUN.
fired 300 times before it will become SO
worn that it will be necessary to refine
the bore, after which it will be good
for 800 more rounds before another re-
lining.
In order to make these prodig.ous
guns strong enough to withstand the
powder pressure, which is as high as
10000 pounds to the square inch, they
are built of successive layers of hoops,
each shrunk on the layer underneath.
In this monarch there are four layers.
Special machinery had to be con-
structed for handling this great
amount of steel. From the beginning
of the work until the final inspection
was nearly three years, and the ap-
proximate cost was $4,000 The gun
was made at Watervliet arsenal, near
Albany. It's great length and weight
prevented the use of the railway il its
transportation, so great wrecking
lighter received it at the wharf of
Watervliet from specially construct
ed steel car, whence it was floated to
the proving grounds at Sandy Hook.
This piece of ordnance has not been
mounted, and because of it's unprece-
denied length and weight it will never
be possible to secure an elevation
greater than Is degrees. 1t is we'll
known that As degrees gives a projec-
tile its greatest range.
AS it is, however, this ton and a
quarter of solid metal, driven by full
charge of smokeless gunpowder, will
describe an arc 80 miles in length, the
highest point of which will be more
than three miles above the surface OF
the land or sea. Starting from Sandy
Hook in quest of a hostile battleship
it would not catch sight of the vessel
until it had climbed we'll up into the
sky.
1t is impossible, of course, for any
ship to carry and handle such colos-
sal gun. II and all similar cannon are
for harbor and coast defence.
Nor does it seem possible ever to
construct Q battleship powerful enough
to withstand the terrific impact OF one
of the solid shots. The strongest IRON
clad ever launched would be shattered
and sunk by single missile that went
home. and any ship approaching from
the sea would have to steam four-fifths
across the zone Of fatal danger to itself
before drawing nigh enough to give
effect to its own fire.

TREE-DEsTRoYING RIVER.
Western Stream That Chews Up Veg
etable Growths Along It's
Banks.

The ella river enters the Colorado
just west of Yuma, and we crossed its
angry waters through maze of eddies
and whirlpools through which immense
quantities of driftwood were whirling
in mad race. Escaping the worst of
the turmoil, we reached the town at
racing speed and made TRUMP Iant
landing, with half our journey &C.
complished, writes G. G.. Copp, in Har-
per's Magazine.
At most places along the shore the
river lad reached the line of older
growths and was 'leveling the larger
trees by hundreds wherever bend of
the river directed the force of the cur
rent against the far shore. Trees ten
inches in diameter and 20 to 80 feet
high were constantly topping into
the Unsuitable river
The fall of these larger trees was
always graceful. The first iatimation
OF 1t was distinct shiver that ran
through the entire tree, but was most
marked in the upper branches; a mo-
ment later the tree would bend grace
fully forward as if bowling to it's
enemy. An instants pause and it
would sink slowlX into the rushing
waters that had reacher to and loos-
ened the inshore roots.
Tree after tree Of this larger growth
would start down the river broadside
to the current. Slowly at first it would
roll over and over, tangling its
branches into q great skeleton wheel,
rolling faster and faster as the
branches became more impacted and
presented fewer projecting points to
catch and hold a momentum the shall
lower reaches. Eventually the
branches would be worn off in such
progress, leaving only the tougher
roots to retard it. Then the denuded
tree would give up the struggle, and
whirlins into the line of least resist
ance. would float head on down stream
until caught by the spreading roots in,
some shallow.
