ENTERPRISE OF JAPAN.
Wonderful Work in Extending Her
Merchant Marine.

1t is interesting, and instructive as
well, to keep an eye on news from the
far East concerning the doing of ia
pan. That wonderful country is ad-
vancing SO rapidly that the reports of
it's development six months ago are
out of date to-day. Two years ago 1t
astonished the world by its military
and naval prowess, and since the close
of the conflict with Russia 1t has APP
piled itself to the arts of peace in a
way that foreshadows future surprises
equally as great.
Just now Japan is working actively
to extend it's merchant marine, with
the evident purpose of making its flag
supreme in Oriental waters. In re-
cent report Consul General Rodgers of
Shanghai, tells what has been done in
this direction. The Nippon Yusen
Kaisha Japanese Steamship Com
pany) acquired the splendid water
front formerly owned by the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company for frac-
tion of it's real value, and is now doing
tremendous business between the
Chinese city and Japanese ports. 1t is
semi-ofiicially announced that every
port touched by Pacific waters will
soon be reached by regular Japanese
steamship lines.
Meanwhile the ship-building compa-
MES of Japan are building new vessels,
renoirng old ones, altering captured
craft, and in every way preparing to
adapt everything they have afloat to
the new field of Japanese endeavor.
Says Mr.. Rodgers: "If the half that is
told of Japanese intentions as to mer-
chant marine is true, then an activity
will ensue on the Pacific ocean which
will astonish the world"

HANDMADE HOUSES
WHAT THEY WOULD NOW COST
Amazing Changes Made by Modern
Machinery-Contrast With
Colonial DAYS.

Suppose, now, every house must be
built, as in colonial days, by hand,
says Charles Barnard in the The
Reader for March. What would be the
effect on marriage, the home, the
state? Simply disastrous, more dis
astrous than could be expressed in
terms Of money. There would be
houses, of course, some of them beau
tiful. There would be homes, some of
them admirable, considering the roof
trees over them-but the people-ah!
The People. What of them? Not one
pair of lovers in one hundred could
ever expect to have the home they de-
sire and deserve. The cost of proper
houses would check marriage or check
the making of good homes, and either
one of these things would be a serious
injury to the state.
Not one per cent. of the young peo-
pie contemplating marriage to-day
could afford to pay the rent of even the
smallest house that would pass the in
spection of any board of health, If it
must be made by hand, without the aid
of machinery.
Suppose every shingle had to be
riven out of a log by hand. Suppose
shingle nails cost 6 cents each, be-
cause made at a hand-blown forge with
hammer and anvil. Fancy every beam
shaped from log with an adj, every
board sawed out in saw pit. Suppose
such hand-sawed lumber in Michigan
woods had to be teamed in handmade
wagons to New England. Suppose ev-
cry foot. of gas or water pipe were
made by hand. 1t could not be SO made.
but we may imagine it. What would
bath room cost? We might suppose
hundred things about a house
doors, sash, furniture, stoves-made
by hand, and the search for the total
cost of a house would end in amaze
ment.

The evil effects that follow many dis.
