decorating the graves with flow

ceremonies in the cemeteries,
and the following story given by
a veteran will prove interesting:

18th of last April, said he.
"Two little girls-children of a
Michigan army chaplain-were
the first to lay spring flowers on
soldiers grave dug in Virgin

of childish impulse grew up the

woman who followed him to

Alexandria and then to a point

known as Camp Michigan. She

daughters, Josephine, aged thir-

noticed and soon others began to
do the same. There was oppor-

went by graves were multiplying
faster then ever before in history

the custom had spread quite
widely.

TEND BAR AND TEACH SCHOOL
Combination OF EmploymentS Making
Trouble In Indiana.

INDIANAPOLIS, Int S.-The Department
Of Public Education in indiana is having
trouble in its effort to prevent drinking men
from being associated with the common
schools. Some peculiar conditions nave
been found TO exist.
Among these is the employment Of saloon
keepers as teachers. In Perry county two
men vino own and run saloons during the
period between the closing Of the public
schools in the spring and their opening in
the fall have teachers licenses and are
regularly employed.
When the schools are not in session they
are behind their bars, and when they enter
the schools as teachers in the fall they hire
men to tend bar for them, 1t appears
that these teacher-saloon keepers can hire
men to tend bar at from 81 to Sl.50 a day,
while as school teachers they get from 50
to s2.5 a day and work only about six
hours. Their saloons are open from 5 A. NJ.

Then the question was suggested as to

what the other man, drinks and the State
Board of Education was a unit on the
proposition that the two classes were one.
But could the board rule that a man who
sells liquor can not teach in the public
schools? Here was the rub.
IL the applicant passed the required
examination what ground could there
be for denying him a license TO teach school?
The fact that he had a license as a saloon
keeper would be prima facie evidence

Down from the north comes another OF

was rot a doctor anywhere in the remote camp

Two Pools

Germans Propose TO Turn IL Into Powef
Gas, Including the Water II Contains.
Germany has vast fields Of peat, contain
ing a large proportion OF combustible ma
terial and it has worried the economists
and scientists Of the empire for years that
the Use Of turf as fuel was steadily declining.
This has been due, of course, to the superior
qualities Of coal, and especially to the trou-
blesome process of drying the peat TO fit it
for fuel after it had been cut.
Now, il is believed all the drawbacks have
been overcome and there is going to be a
serious boom in the use of turf for fuel for
industrial purposes. Prof. A. Frank of
Charlottenburg made the first step.
He proposed to utilize the peat by con-
verting it into gas, and he demonstrated
that for this purpose it was entirely unneces-
sary 10 dry It, water being in fact a princi-
pie ingredient in the up to date manu
facture Of gas for Illuminating and heating
purposes. =.
Next came DR.. n. Caro-. a colleague OF
Prof. Frank. He greatly improved the type
Of generator by which the gas is produced. +
He brought these TO such perfection that in
some experiments made with his apparatus
at Stockton, England, coaldust, sawdust
and peat containing so to S. per cent. In
weight of water was turned into CONNER
cial gas, While valuable byproducts, includ-
ing a large percentage of sulphate Of am
monia, were secured from the peat.
The experiments to date indicate that
from about 2 200 pounds of turf as cut bou
81, 500 feet of gas can be distilled, capable of
developing 6~OOtheoretical horsepower hours
when used for mechanical purposes through
the medium of a gas engine. The cost OF
cutting the turf is, of course, small, and IL
power plants are SGT up near the peat boys
the cost of moving the weight of water it
contains is negligible. The ammonia by
rOduc can be utilized in the manufacture
Of fertilizers.
Several considerable plants are said to
be contemplated in various parts of the
country. 'rs

S4,S4S JAPANESE KILLED.
Japan's Leases In the War Made known by
Ceremony In Honor OF the Dead.

Japan's Losses In the war Made KNOW by
Ceremony In Honor OF the Dead.
One of the charges brought against the
Japanese by the correspondents serving
in the Geld with the Japanese armies during
the late war with Russia was that the com-
manders of the Mikado's forces never
allowed a correct list of the men lost by
land and sea to go forth. Until recently
outside nations have not known what wal
the loss to the island empire in terms OF
men slain in the land and naval engage
ments of the war, and now the true figures
come out through a peculiar circumstance.
On May | there was celebrated at the
Yasukuni brine in Toxic the third and
last great ceremony in honor Of the souls
of the dead Patriots OF the war. Because
the Emperor had decided that no mans
soul shall be slighted because of polite
pairing down OF the list Of casualties the
ceremony which took place on May / was
all inclusive. 1t took in those to whom
former honors were done, those that died
OF their wounds after the, termination of
the war and. by imperative order of the
Emperor, those non-combatants who lost
their lives in the discharge of their duties
in both branches of the service.
A total Of the souls worshipped at the
three ceremonies gives the complete toll
of the war as far as the Japanese wal and
naval officers have been able to verify the
records. 1t is as follows:
Souls
Woryhipped.
FIRST ceremonial. .. ,..,.,. $3.50
Second ceremonial ....... 30.S77
Ihiro ceremonial. 24,42l
Total ......,... 64.e4s
The worship in honor Of the souls OF the
dead soldiers and sailors in Japan partakes
somewhat Of the. nature Of our Memorial
Day save that the religious element in the
ceremonies is stronger. Shinto and Bud
dhist priests both conduct services Of an
impressive character, and usually high
officers of the army and navy stand forth
in turn before the multitude Of worshippers
and read eulo gistio addresses to the spirits
of the dead heroes, addressing them as If
they were present INT participators in
the rites. At the last services Admiral
Togo and the Emperor himself conducted
one of the services, and the. Empress and
Prince Imperial lent the dignity of the
imperial presence TO the second
