New Military Step for Japan.

The Japanese army has decided t.
discontinue the German system in
the march step and adopt new sys.
TEN in connection with revision o:
the infantry drill book. According tc
the old system infantry on the march
ought to raise the feet high and step
heavily, swaying the hands fore ann
aft. The step under the new system
is very light and the march may be
permanently continued. as the feet
are not required to be raised so high
and the hands are to be freely OK
ercised. Each infantry regiment is
to send representative to the Mil
tary Model College to study the new
step systcm-Iapan Cn7e+te.

The scIentiac Immortality.

Sir Oliver Lodge, the noted British
scientist, has delivered another pro-
nouncement on the subject of the inn
mortality of the soul He says first that
the simple important truth to be kept in
sight is the commonplace fact that there
is nothing immortal or persistent about
the body except the material atoms Of
which it is composed. He dismisses ut
terly the notion, still taught by part Of
the Christian church, that these atoms
will some day be gathered and reunited
so as to constitute a complete man as he
appeared on the earth, and who there
after will last forever. This he regards
as merely clumsy expedient to make
pleasing the idea of the homeless, wan
dering spirit or ghost of the departed i'm
dividual. Sir Oliver says that nobody
knows what the soul is, but that COM
mon sense rebels against its being moth
ing, and that no genuine science had as
sumed to declare it a purely imaginary
nonentity. He holds it must be acIsnowl-
edged by science that no really existing
thing perishes, Il only changes form. As
this has been shown clearly in the case
of matter and energy, it must also be
true Of mind, consciousness, will, mem
DRY, love and other activities which in
teract with matter and appeal to the
bodily senses. These facts of the indi-
vidual human consciousness, he says, can
not be regarded as nothing. and they will
never vanish into nothingness. They did
arise with us. They never sprang sud-
denly into being from previous non-exist-
ence. They are as eternal as the Cod
head itself, and will in eternal being en-
dure forever.

DEFECTIVE CHILDREN.
One-Third of ALI School Pupils + :
Something Wrong with Them.

According to the report of committee
of prominent educators, headed by Charles
@. Birmingham, former president of the
board of education of New York City,
one-third of all the school pupils in the
United States are behind in their grades
because of some physical defect, such
as impaired hearing and vision, enlarged
glands or malnutrition. The committee
I. reports that in the vast T4jority of cases
these defects could be cured II taken in
hand at once. That many millions of the
children of the United States have ply
steal defects which are retarding their
progress, that in most cases these defects
are removable, but that in the vast ma
jority they viii not be because of ignor-
ance or careieA ,ss are statements start
ling enough to merit wide attention. If
the average throughout the United States
is the same as that in New York, there
are in our country 100000 ill-nourished
children, 5,615,0O0 with enlarged glands
and 6,925,000 with defective breathing.
Comprehensive plans for dealing with
the physical defects of school children
are outlined in the report. These include
a thorough physical examination of all
children, notification to parents and the
enforcement of existing laws. Where
proper authority is now lacking it is plan
ned to compel parents to take necessary
steps in behalf of their children's health.
Enforcement of health, tenement house
and child labor laws and the establish
ment, in Connection with boards of edu-
cation, Of departments of school hygiene,
the duties Of which shall be to see that
school buildings are so constructed and
SO conducted that they cannot themselves
produce or aggravate physical defects, are
also recommended.

WILL ADD TO MISERY
OF A HARD WINTER.
European Labor Leaders Alarmed
Over Increase in Homecoming
Contingent.
STEAMSHIPS ARE LOADED DOWN
Hundreds of Destitute Aliens Wan
dering Streets of Paris on
Verge of Destitution.

The increasing coatingents of home
coming Italians, LithHanians and Other
Mediterranean steerage passengers are
disconcerting not only to the steamship
companies, who have inadequate facili-
ties for dealing with such sudden and
unexpected traffic, but to the labor
leaders of Europe. who deny that these
newcomers have sufficient money to
pass the winter without working. and
declare that they will thus add to the
misery of what is sure to be a hard win
ter among the European working
classes
The figures given by the French la
Dor bureau as to the retnrhing emf
grants are corroborated by Nicholas
Martin, agent of the American Ene,
who says that all the steerage capacity
of every vessel has been taken until
Feb. a., while thousands more will be
unable to return to Europe before
spring. If this keeps up, a Paris CORE
spotdent says, some special measures
must be taken TO repatriate the hordes
of disappointed adventurers, for the
ordinary means are insufficient.
1.To my knowledge several hundred
of more or less destitute aliens are wan
dering in the streets of Paris on the
verge of starvation, and the prefecture
police books will probably multiply this
figure by three" said one of the officials
at the ministry of works to the CORE
spondent. THE best we can do is to
expedite their return to their native
countries. Something like half of them
have no more money than is barely
sufficient to pay their fare"
Turn of Immigration Tide.
Never since the first ship sailed out
of New York harbor has there been any
thing like the present exodus of emil
grants from that port. Day by day the
crowds clamoring for transportation
abroad grow greater, with no prospect
of their reduction in numbers. Last
week 10000 steerage passengers were
carried from New York; this week
steamship men say the total will reach
$4,000 The steerage rate was raised
from S21 TO S31 in hope of staying the
exodus, but without avail.

Diner About saturn,s Rings.

The view advanced by Prof. Percival
Lowell that the knots recently discov-
cred in the rings of Saturn Indicate that
the rings are falling is not accepted by
Prof. Simon Newcomb of Washington,
who says that Strive more than half
century ago propounded the theory of the
falling rings of Saturn, based upon early
drawings compared with late ones. New
comb says the rings are now viewed al
most edgewise, so that it is impossible to
distinguish one from another. lie prefers
the theory put forth by Clerke- Maxwell
sixty years ago, that the small satellites
which compose the rings sometimes crowd
together. Prof. Brashear of Pittssurg
agrees with Newcomb.

President Rooosevelt's annual mes
sage to Congress opens with a broad
end confident expression of belief in
the resources of America and an APP
peal to the citizens to keep their money
in circulation. The message attempts
to reassure the business man, the
railroad man, the working man, the
farmer and the labor leader.
The President is in favor Of curren-
cy legislation. He would have provi-
sion made for the issuance by the
banks of an emergency currency safely
secured by bonds which should be tax
ed enough to make il Improbable to
continue its use after the emergency
had passed.
He would nave the Sherman anti
trust law amended, so as to permit GER
tain proper combinations, necessary to
Industrial progress, and also made to
prevent other combinations that are op-
posed to the public interest.
Railroads, for instance, If his plans
are carried out, could combine under
restrictions safeguarded by the Inter
state Commerce Commission, while If
they did it now their officials would
face the penitentiary Railroads, he
says, should be permitted to increase
their capital stock, but under scrutiny
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion or other bOdy, whereas when it is
done now there is a suspicion that
there are improper profits in some Sc
cret syndicate. Railroads, he urges,
should have the right to make rate
the scrutiny of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, whereas now this
is Illegal.
In return for this permission the
President would have Congress devise
some scheme which would compel rail-
roads and great corporations doing an
interstate business to get federal IL
cense or charter.
While the President commends con-
sideration by the people of an Inherit
ance tax and an income tax, he does
not suggest their immediate considera-
ton. He would have consideration
given to the subject when Congress
comes to revise the revenue laws
Mr.. Roosevelt thinks the tariff should
be revised at proper periods, but not
until after the next Presidential cleo
ton. He looks with favor on the pro-
posal to remove the tax on print paper
min htfrf .t11r Oh Ho
Canadian government permitting its
pulp wood to enter the United States
free of an export tax.
The President wants the condition
of women and children who work in
factories improved. He wants more
investigation of the subject SO, too,
the President wants technical training
extended to the farm. He does not ex-
pect Congress viii enact any of his rec
concentrations at this session, except,
perhaps, currency reform and railroad
relief. If his present plans are carried
out he will have no fights on his hands
with Congress.
President Roosevelt is in favor of a
fixed sum being provided for payment
to employees for certain injuries or
death in case of accident, while in the
discharge of their duties. In the end,
it is held. this would not be tax ON
the manufacturer and other employer,
but would be against the cost of the
product and the general public would
pay. The President also hopes to see
that the use of the injunction against
labor unions can be mitigated.
