ItaIy's experience with emigration should

With a higher standard. Many Of the things
which he relates of italy would doubtless prove
true Of Japan If a heavy tide Of emigration
10 this country were permitted 10 set IN. The
great economic advantage which Japan enjoys
to-day is the relative cheapness Of fairly intel
Ngent labor. The cheap standard Of living
which prevails II the island empire is one of
the things which make her cheap labor pos
sible. Heavy emigration would lessen her sup
ply OF labor and returning emigrants from this
country would raise the standard Of living
Emigration from Italy 10 this country and
South America Is extremely heavy. Professor
Tillari says 1t has increased from 100000 in
1876 10 100000 in 1905 The emigrants drain
the country of its best ufeblood, for. IN gen

Twenty thousand dollars VIII be paid this

the states bounty of 81 30 an acre for land
planted with trees. Forty-two counties have
adopted the bounty system. which has been in
operation since 1877 They in the prairie
districts OF the state. and from the fact that the
plan has been in operation for thirty years It
would seem to be measurably successful The
bounty is paid for six years. and one owner may
receive it for only ten acres. All trees must be
planted from eight to twelve feet apart and all
that die must be replaced.

Calling Back Stage Art.

The spectacle Of the Russian play
actors now performing in the chief
cities of the country should teach
Americans to refuse to regard the ex-
plotting of personality as the art Of
acting. 1t is the A B C of the stage,
but this generation has yet to learn it.
A very large class Of intelligent people
no longer attend the theater, not only
because the average play is silly or I'M
interesting, but because the acting no
longer creates the illusion Of reality.
More than any other art, the art of act
ing must hold the mirror up to ma
ture." Our popular stars hold the
miro up to themselves.
With these Russian players the
drama and the art to interpret it are
the real thing. Beside their earnest
effort to place the dramatist and his
message above the actor, our exploita-
ton of vain and physically attractive
STARS becomes hollow sham. Ma
tive managers and native playwrights
ceal in personalities: the Russians offer
characters with something to say.

How the Blood Moves In the Veins,

The principal cause of the movement
Of the blood in the veins is what the
Psychologists refer to as 1.-The pressure
from behind" By this is meant the
capillary circulation, or a movement Of
the blood caused by the constant pump
ing action Of the heart, which forces
the current into and through the veins
To prevent the engagement of the
veins-that Is, to prevent their becom-
ing so filled with blood that their re-
sistance would counterbalance the pres
sure from the arteries-each pulsatiOn
Of the heart by emptying the right ven
tricle allows a part Of the blood accu-
mulated in the veins to be removed. In
this way the backward resistance in
the veins is kept inferior to the pres
venous circulation is also greatly aided
by the action Of the voluntary muscles.
1t is well known fact that when a
muscle contracts it thickens and be-
comes diminished in length. The eff
feet Of this lateral swelling is to COM
press the veins lying between the mus
cles, thus forcing the blood forward
Another popularity is the half moon
shaped valves with which the veins are

valves open only toward the heart,
