GEN. KURoKI, MILITARY GENIUS
OF MIkADo's COUNTRY.
Something OF Representative Of Island
Empire Who Is Now Visiting This
country-Descendant of Pc.
Iish Nobleman.

New York,-In was in 1884 that
prince of Sweden, whose name history |
does not reveal, visited Japan as
guest of the nation. A graduate OF the
military schools of Europe, the visitor
was reputed to be one of the leading
princes of his time in skill as mill
tary strategist and tactician. There
was detailed as his escort quiet
spoken stan officer of the mikad0's
army, man with the teciturnity OF
Grant and the face of Sheridan. AS
he was completing his visit the prince
turned to his escort and said;
Il thought had learned all that
there was to know of tactics and
strategy, but yeu have shown me that
there was much more knowledge to be
obtained on military matters than can
be had in the schools of Europe. TAX
ing your schooling from us you have
greatly improved on everything that
we taught"
The staff officer to whom the prince
paid this high compliment was Gen.
Itel Kuroki, the now celebrated war
rior who commanded the First army
corps In the war with Russia, and who
rendered such conspicuous service
that Field Marshal Oyama referred to
him as his "tstrong right arm" Gen.
Kuroki is now in this country on
mission to the jamestown exposition.
Born 81 years ago in Satsuma, the
Sparta Of Japan" Kuroki at an early
age entered the military service of the
mikado, and rose grade by grade from
the lower ranks, attaining in 1894 the
rank of lieutenant general. That was
the year of Japans war with China,
and in that conflict Kuroki commend
ed the Sixth division of the invading
army. 1t is related that his divis
ion had been scheduled to be the last
one to be embarked for the invasion
of China, and that Kuroki chafed sc
much over the inaction that he fretted
himself into state of illness. But i'm
mediately the troops were landed and
the smoke of battle began to roll from
the front all of Kurokis Illness van
ished/ and he, joyously exsle.med:
~ All, this makes me we'll again"
From the very beginning of the wa
with Russia, Kurogi halted the world
attention by the display OF his mill
tary skill. Then 1t was that people be
gan to inquire more closely about thi
warrior whose military genius shon
SO resplendent. Efforts we're made I

quirers found little assistance fror

tanned that he was of Polish origin.

Brains.

Famous brains are of four sorts.
The lowest group contains the minds
that are stimulated greatly by alec.
hol, tea and other drugs by impress
sions derived from the senses; the
second group contains the infant prod
igies, whose intellectual powers wane
in middle age; the third group con-
tains the pathological cases usually
terminating in insanity: the fourth
and highest group is that of true
geniuses, whose powers remain unim-
paired until old age. This is Hause-
mann's classification.
Spitzka has come to the conclusion
that men eminent in exact sciences,
like astronomy and mathematics, have
the greatest average brain weight.
Next come the men OF action, lncIud-
ing statesmen and artists. after these
come the biologists, biologists and
other representatives Of the descrip-
tive sciences.

BETTER HIGHWAYS.
The Use Of Tar and Oil in Road I'm
provement.

In all parts of the civilized world
men are testing various materials
that can be used in road improve
ment. In most countries the matter
of road dust is something that e4cites
the concern of people. 1t Is one OF
the great inconvenience of living in
the country. In the United, States the
country roads are all wide and all
have more soil uncovered by verdure
than in perhaps any other country.
These wide roads give large surface
for dust production and in some local
ities the dust blows in clouds from the
roads, till the verdure is anything but
green. 1t gets into the houses and
permeates every nook. To get rad OF
this nuisance is task worthy of our
best thought.
Some road experiments have been
in progress in the neighborhood OF
Jackson, Tenn. Most of the tests were
made on roads in the city, but some
also on the neighboring country
roads. The tar was applied during
hot weather to the repaired, cleaned
and thoroughly dried surfaces of roads
in and near the city. The tar was
kept at temperature of 200 degrees
while being conveyed over the roads
in a tank wagon, from which it was
distributed over the road surface by a
hose with a special nozzle and spread
evenly in a thin layer by laborers
using stiff brooms. The tar was alb
sorbed by the road in eight or ter
hours, after which light coat of sane
or screenings was evenly spread ovel
the surface and the road rolled by {
steam roller. The average amount o
tar used per square yard was As hun
dredths of a gallon. The labor cos
less than one-tenth of cent pc
square yard. These roads stood wei
for at least seven months, says Farm
ers' Review. The tar surrounded tn,
stones and gravel and formed a hart
surface about one to two inches Il
thickness.
In other places some experiment
have been made with Oil and tar, bot
of which are fairly good under RICH
conditions. On the dusty countr
highway, however, the oil is too ligh
for permanent results, but tar prove
to be very effective wherever used.

day be able to take vengeance on the
Russians for their cruel treatment Of
unhappy Poland.
Kurol1i's genius for war was never
more conspicuous than in the great
turning movement at Liao-yang. When
Kuropatkin. tk=e%. the whole weight Of
hlS. army upon the angle held by Ku-
roki, he should, according to all mill
tary precedent, have destroyed his foe.
But Kuroh not only held the enemy
at bay, but held them long enough for
supporting column to turn their
flank.
Kuroki's part in the last great bat
tie, that of Mukden, was that Of q
fierce and vigorous attack upon the
very strong position that was held by
the Russian center, not with any hope
of carrying it. but In order to force
Kuropatkin to carry out the move
ment which ultimately led to his de-
struction.

BEANS AND CORN FEED.
II Makes an Excellent Combination
to Feed the Pigs.

II Makes an Excellent Combination
to Feed the Pigs.
This is an excellent combination In
pig feeding. Beans strong in protein
and corn in fat. Young hogs thrive
rapidly on such combination. Prof
Shaw has this suggestion as to the
preparation and feeding of beans. He
says:
Beans can be fed to swine only In
the cooked form. The pig seems to
be unable to utilize beans which are
at all hard or firm. even though they
have been boiled for some time, hence
1t is very essential that they be thor.
oughly cooked. To supply a single
feed of half-cooked beans to a pen of
hogs, robs them of their apetites and
relish for their food, II indeed it does
not put them on feed. The cooking
should be conducted in an even more
careful manner than 1t would be In
preparing them for human food. 1t
will materially shorten the cooking
period and give better results, If the
beans are soaked an hour or two, or
better, over night, before the cooking
proper is begun.
pals used should be rinsed after
each feeding and especial care should
be taken to clean the kettle or barrel
after each cooking and not allow sour
or moldy material to collect about the
food receptacle. More than one case
of supposed hog cholera has been
traced to ignorant or careless neglect
In allowing old swill to accumulate In
. barrel instead of emptying the bar
rel each time before the new mate
rial is dumped into It."
