chinch bugs, the statement being
made that the bugs will kill out these
grasses to an extent that nothing else
will It is clear that the acquisition
of wings is not the signal for the
adults to abandon the companionship
of the larvae and pupae, yet they do
gradually disappear from among them.
1t is possible that the disposition to
pair does not exist until the individ-
ual has reached a certain age be-
yond seeming maturity, and that it is
not until the passion for mating has
overcome their gregarious inclination
that they are disposed to migrate. Or
it may be that the phenomenon may
be explained on the supposition that
when the pairing season approaches
the males scatter out in order to find
females with which they are not akin,
thus following out natural selection
and preventing continual interbreed-
ing. Over the northern United States,
at least, the injury in cultivated fields
is done almost entirely by the young
bugs, but in the timothy meadows the
damage is due as much, if not more,
to the depredations of the adults.

the tendency of the bugs is to con-
gregate upon their food plants until
these are literally covered with indi-
viduals varying in color from the
black and white of the adults to the
bright vermilion of the more adj

there Is exhibited toward wider
diffusion is confined to the adults,
the others remaining and leaving in
a body only when the plant on which
they have congregated has been drain
ed of it's juices and has begun to
wither, when they simply crawl to the
nearest plants and again congregate
upon these as before. In case the
migration has been to a field of
corn, if this is badly overgrown with
either of the two grasses previously
named, the bugs will collect upon the
latter, and unless the corn plants are
very small they will not as rule at

SOMEWHAT OF A REFLECTION.
Naive Comment Of Debutante That
Amused Hostess.

A charming hostess Of one of the
"big houses" as they are called by
those who are welcomed into them,
has the added beauty of premature
white hair. That which seems to her
contemporaries an added charm may
appear to the crudely young a mark
of decline, at least so it appears in
one instance of which the hostess her.

The lady is connoisseur of an
tiques. At one of her teas a debutante
rich with the glow of youth, but sadly
constrained with her sense of novelty,
was handed a cup of tea: the cup
was beautifully blue and wonderfully
old. The hostess desiring to light
en- the strain on her youthful guest
by pleasant diverting remark, said:
THAT little cup is a hundred and fif-
ty years old"
"Oh,' came the debutante's high
strained tones: How careful you
must be to have kept it so long!"

Her Aim.

A man who runs a truck farm in
Virginia tells of the sad predicament
in which a colored man named Sam
Moore, who is in his employ, recently
found himself. Sam had had consid-
cradle difficulty in evading the on
slaughts of dog from neighboring
farm. Finally the dog got him, as
Sam kicked at him.
Sans wife, hearing q tremendous
yell, rushed to the rescue of her hus-
band. When she came up the dog had
fastened his teeth in the calf Of Sans
leg and was holding en- for dear life.
Selling a stone in the road, Sans
wife was about to hurl it when Sam,
with wonderful presence of mind,
shouted:
Mandy! Mandy! Don't frow dat
stone at de dawg! Frow it at me.

say that it has spread as moral
philosophy, rather than as religion
1t may continue to grow, and be
widely accepted, but it will never be-
come a national religion. Had Christ
ianity been our ancient faith, the
situation would have been different.
Moreover Christianity would have
been greater in Japan were it not for
the UNCONVENTIONAL divisions and
strife, which have hindered Christian
growth here. I am glad to notice
a decrease Of this, both in Japan and
America. Mission boards should take
into account the importance Of this
matter.
What of the missionaries them
selves? They have done only good
and not evil. Their educational work
especially has been great-too much
cannot be said in favor of it. But
not all missionaries have been sue
cessful; there are some who are fall
ures. My own opinion is that there
is still a place in Japan for the best
type of missionary. Especially do we
want able teachers and great think

How Ambassador Wright Sizes Up

Count Okuma's words have caused a
depression from the first point of this
article. Before returning to it, and
while still on the subject of mission

pressed to me by the American am
bassador to Japan, Hon. Luke E.
Wright: when I came to the orient
l was disappointed in the missionaries
-agreeably disappointed. l expected

ShiminoseN, Japan.-As I leave
Japan for Korea, it is necessary to
summarize the results of three
months investigation into religious
conditions and missionary work in
japan. l find that some of the state
ments now to be set down are rather
sensational; this is due to the facts,
and not to their reporting. Indeed,
unimportant news could scarcely be
expected from the country which EN-.
bodies the worlds greatest political
problems, the far eastern question.
That much-discussed question, one
learns who painstakingly studies it on
the ground, is really commingling
of racial, religious, economical and
political questions. The reader of
these articles who has not seen in
them more than treatment of mis-
sions and religion has not grasped
all the meaning that the writer in
tended to convey.
Playing to the Western Gallery.
The Japanese government, which
has ever before its eyes the import
ohNO VI NColSIh
has been playing politics with Chris
t1anity. Like any other nation in SIM
liar circumstances, it has employed
every agency at hand that would
serve it's own purpose; since the west
ern world is nominally Christian,
Japan has, throughout the present era,
displayed a favorable attitude toward
Christianity. Indeed, that shrewd old
statesman, Marquis Ito (whom many
Americans have been led to look
upon as a sort of main prop of the
church in Japan, although, judged by
even the loose Japanese standards, he
is "a most immoral man") proposed
that Japan make Christianity it's state
religion. l have the personal testi-
mony OF educated Japanese that they
themselve, became Christians 90 years

because Japan wanted to appear in
a pro-Christian light Undoubtedly
there has been a measure of this
same sort of statecraft in the govern
ment's recent gifts to the Young
Mems Christian association army work.
In the government Offices of Toxic
came upon the program with re-
changed. My authority is $50 high
that it cannot be questioned. The in
tention Of the men who shape the
nations policy (and this is paternal,
not popular, form of government
was that the Crown Prince of Japan
should become a baptized Christian,
so that the next emperor should be
counted among the Christian rulers of
the earth. The personal convictions
of the crown. prince did not figure in
the matter at all; the rulers look
upon Christianity without any regard
to the beliefs of individuals, which is
a serious oversight as l shall show.
Even yet 1t is possible that the pro-
gram may be overturned by the sin
cerc conversion of the crown prince
to Christianity, an event, however,
which is quite improbable.
For the second part Of the gov
eminent program reverses the first.
The plan has been changed. 1t has
now been decided that it is unneces-
sary for Japan to become Christian
nauon. The next emperor will not be
a Christian. independence and toler-
alton in religious matters will con-
tinue to be the national policy, but
the same official whose views l have
beet expressing declares it to be his
belief that Japan will never become
a Christian nation, although there will
remain, alongside of Buddhism and
Shintoism, a Japanese Christian
church.

ual in Japan. had long interview
with him in his beautiful home, upon
many phases of the Japanese problem,
including this one. Japan has the
most perfect religious liberty in the
world. So great il the spirit of toler.
stion here that a conference on mu.
kual relations was recently held in
Toxic by the Christians. Buddhists
and Shintoists. But this very confer.

part of each for its own faith. This

my mind the impression that he un-

work and at play. have sought out
the criticism against them and their
work that could be heard Wherever
have learned of critic or antagonist

the worst he had to say. From scores
OF Japanese, Christian and non-Chris-
tan, | have CLEANED opinions of the
missionary force. Summing all up
l am bound to say that the mission
aries as a whole grade higher than
even the ministry at home. Their
devotion to their work, and to the
welfare Of the Japanese is unuues-
toned. The results of their labor
are beyond doubt really great. To
say that their converts are not genu-
inc and their work superficial is
simply to betray a lack of knowledge
of conditions that are apparent to any
unbiased observer. OF course there
are individual missionaries not a few
who are insists and should be re-
called, and Of course there are minor
points on which the missionaries are
undoubtedly open to criticism. Never.
theless, these cannot affect the gen.
eral verdict, that the missionaries are
creditable representatives of the best
life of the Christian nations, and that
their efforts are bearing fruit which
justify the cost.
The Opinion of the optimists.
This leads right back to the main
question, will Japan become a Chris
tian nation?" AS opposed to the mega
tive view of nearly all the government
officials with whom I have talked, I
find every Christian, foreigner and
Japanese, taking confidently affirma-
tive view. In no case has a Christian
betrayed the slightest note of uncer-
tainty on this point. They ridicule
all idea Of an amaigamation of Chris
tianity, Buddhism and Shintoism, say
ing that this is Buddhist talk, Budd-
hism feels its weakness and forsees
