 They were as well prepared for the late war as Bismarck was for the war of 1870. while Russia was as i'll prepared for it, if possible, as France was in 1870. Is she practicing like tactics with us? Nobody knows but the cabi- net at Tokio.
 But there IS another factor-Japan's ally. Whatever Japan may think of it, she must get England's opinion of it. and England's opinion will surely be adverse to a clash of arms between Japan and the United States. That will save us until we can make a navy and army, if necessary, that will tHke some big head out of Japan. If 1t should come to a punching of heads, we will lick her, all right; but it would be at a frightfui cost of blood and treasure. Heretofore we peaceful folk have been against this big stick busi- ness; but this California episode has changed all that. and men of as little patriotism as land ] have not a par ticle of the regulation kind--men of even less patriotism that I are will ing to put in the next naval bill all the Dreadnoughts you dan cram In

countered by the excavators in the Simplon tunnel occasionally appear. A hole less than two miles deep and large enough to admit a boiler, or sew eral boilers, one on top of another could certainly be constructed. oEavt- tation would bring water from the surface down to the heat. and the live ing stream could be automatically brought to & point high enough to permit men to live and work. There dynamos could transform the steam into electricity, and a wire would car ry the force to those eagerly awaiting
 It makes an attractive picture Free heat and cold, hot water and cold wa ter. fuel and ice, telephone and light. With the invention of light storage battery. man could run automobiles for half @ cent a day, yachts for two cents day, and private flying machines, whose cost is unknown at present wri- ting.
 The trouble comes In the fact that water would not boil at 10000 feet. The rule of one degree Increase for every sixty-nine feet holds good for great distance down. but when q milo is reached the rate gets much lower It is possible that it keeps on decreas- ing as the depth does. When 10000 feet Is reached 1t would be uncomfort- ably hot. to be sure, and labor there not cheap. Furthermore, for every degree of heat gained not sixty-nine feet, but more likely three hundred feet, would have to be gone through. So until coal becomes even more rare and costly than 1t is at present 1t will receive the preference. However. good dream is worth something for its own sake

should do this in Kentucky of all States win cause the outside world to wonder. But Beckham pitched his campaign squarely upon this issue. He went before the Democrats of Ken lucky with the claim that he was an advocate of temperance. He pointed to the fact that he had pushed the most extreme temperance Legislation through the Kentucky Legislature and made Louisville. the chief city of the State, shut its saloons tight on Sun day. And Kentucky, which has 253 distilleries and eighty-two dry coun- ties in paradoxical conjunction, has shown that 1t is a temperance State by sending Beckham to the United States Senate.
 In thls campaign Beckham met the bitter opposition of the whiskey in- terests He was beaten in the cities and the large towns, but the country districts, where temperance prevails, pulled him through. It has been charged by Beckham's friends that the whiskey interests spent S250,0OO in an effort to beat him as an object lesson. It Is beyond doubt that they exercised themselves to the utmost. Tn return Beckham is expected to call an extra session of the Legislature in Q short time to put through some decided tenn perance leg b,ation. Louisville, which rolled up 7.0J0 against him. Is expect ing very tlght-fitting Hid" as it's penalty.
 The Kentucky Legislature was dead locked in 1895 and race for United States Senator was on. 'Joe" Black
 burn was fighting to retain his seat in the Senate. It was the most deter mined struggle ever known in Ken lucky. When it was at its height Isaac Wilson, Democratic Representa- two from Beckham's county. died sud- denly, and Beckham was elected to succeed him on the last day 1t was possible. He had to reach Frankfort in time for the first ballot in the morning. It was a bitter cold midwtn- ter night, and as he could not make 1t by train, Beckham drove across the country in a buggy and reached Frank fort in time to save the day for Black burn.
 In his gratitude Blackburn said to Beckham, "Cripps, the day will never be too long, nor the night too cold, for me to do anything can for you" Finally Senator Blackburn had grown tired of Beckham's growing power and undertook to put him "out of busi- ness" When they met in final fray Beckham inflicted a most humiliating defeat on Blackburn and sent him back to private life, electing Judge Paynter to the Senate to succeed him.
 Beckham then became an avowed candidate for the United States Senate and Senator James B. McCreary, who had been in Congress almost contin- ually since 1869. entered the field to defend his political possessions. But Beckham again showed hmself a chld of destiny and beat McCreary easily at the polls.

 Another small hand that the Italian wears as a charm Is known as the Manus Panthea, a facsimile of which is to be found in the museum of Rome It is referred to in various Egyptian papyri. and, indeed. was worn by the ancients to prevent disease and witch craft and the evil eye from taking hold Of them and to induce love and ania'
 This hand has the thumb, the index and the middle fingers held out in straight line, while the other two are turned under toward the palm of the hand. Instead of being smooth on itt outer surface, as Is the evil eye hand it is covered with many mystical sym bols--a tooth, serpent, and so on. Each of these little signs has it's pe- culiar charm and is as we'll understood and needed among the Italians today as formerly among old Egyptian magi- clans.

 But Beckham has long since demon strated that 1t was not all good for tune for him. In the face of the most determined opposition, and strong disposition on the part of older politi- clans to oust him as a young upstarts he not only held his own. but won every political battle.

THE UNITED STATES AND LAPAh
BY SAVOYARD.

It looks to a downright man that in the United States of America 8 Chinaman has no rights that our Fed eral government cares to respect, while a Japanese can be guilty of no insolence that the powers that be will not tolerate and even pocket. It is rather humilating spectacle. The Chinaman is denied common justice; for the Jap the constitution of the United States is to be turned into a Chinese for years at the command of fellow of the name of Kearney, who ought to have been put on the rock pile for vagrancy-he and his sand iotters. We excluded the best domes- tic service and farm labor, that it is possible to find anywhere. from our shores at the order of walking dele sion in harsh, ruffianly and illegal
 The worm will turn. China is not cial nation. and the Chinese are the only people on the planet who have the true commercial instinct.

The did not appeal to the State Department; they have no big stick--they me ely passed the word along that American goous were not wanted in Chinese markets. That fetched us. In American com mercial and diplomatic ecincts all was agitation. We scurried all over the place, out at the front door, through the yard gate, the big gate, the garden gate, the pasture gate, the orchard gate, and all the other gates, and the outcome was a modification of our regulations touching our guests from China. It was not very edifying. In plain English we yielded to Nam mon what we had refused to Justice. That may be washing dirty linen in public, but that is the sort of washer woman Truth always is.

tell them the truth In blunt speech and send them about their business, and ask them what they are going to misunderstood? That is what it is go- ing to come to, and the longer we defer 1t the more danger there Is in b1.1H It YSSr S 5aR f Is msssTIslist ea sno His hs is not very particulars as to methods, He looks to results. Ills mission Is to grow rich and powerful.
 It is possible that the Jap would not submit to an exclusion law. But he will have to in time, and this country can get along better with 5000 Chinese than # can with i.O0o Japa- His only vice Is industry; his great sin is frugality. l would be. glad to open our doors to 100000 Chinese laborers tomorrow. A few thousands of them on the farms of Iowa would increase the yield of those farms enormously. But your Jap has got a chip on his shoulder He Is hunting trouble, and he will find 1t. I supposed his next customer would be Germany, that is located over in China somewhere, but it seems that he would have quarrel of giving it him. and accommodating him immediately.
 These Japs are insisting that the Constitution of the United States be suspended for their benefit. and I would rather the administration had met them in different temper The State of California has original and ex- elusive Jurisdiction over the public schools of that State. That is guar anteed to California in Article x Of the Federal Constitution, which reads:
 "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution. nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively. or to the people"
 Thus, under that article, California has the absolute right to determine who shall be admitted to the public schools of California. The Federal establishment cannot nullify that arti- cle of the supreme law of the land by act of Congress, because an act of Congress, to be of value, must be made in pursuance" of the Constitution, and an act oe the national legislature admitting Japanese to the common schools of California would be void for unconstitutionality.
 So 1t cannot be done directly, but it is insolently demanded that the
