JAPANESE CRITIC
ON JOHN BULL

Never have there been so many
visitors to Japan as we have had this
year. Perhaps the war has been an
advertisement for our country, while
the renewal of the Anglo-Japanese
alliance is probably the reason for
the majority of these being English.
But what Is 1t that makes the travel
ing English so different to the Eng
lish at home? The buying of a
Cooks ticket appears to effect a
transmigration of their souls. A
Cooked" Englishman is a trans
formed being. When he leaves Eng
land he instinctively regards all
other countries as uncivilized, and
regards Japan in particular as only
Just emerging from savage barbar-
ism.
The other day l heard a member
of parliament say patronizingly: 1T
is wonderful what your people have
done during only 40 years of civiliza-
ton" Civilization to the European
mind seems to be synonymous with
the requirement of the knowledge
and use of man-killing machinery.
English people at home are not over
burdened with politness Or courtesy,
and when they travel in barbarous
lands they seem to prefer to travel
light as far as there qualities are
concerned.
l was travelling in a train the other
day when big Lancashire man and
his wife got into the carriage. The
lady looked around and gave a little
sniff or snort and said: "I am sur
prised that they allow the natives to
travel in the first class carriages" "

The PhiIinnines Again.

One effect of Secretary Tafts trip
around the world, which will include
a visit to the Philippine Islands, has
been the renewal of the discussion con-
corning the ultimate fate of the is
lands. Are we to retain control In
definitely, shah we turn the archipela-
go over to its native inhabitants or
shall we sell the islands to a foreign
power? In the latter connection Japan
is frequently named, and 1t has been
suggested that an exchange with Great
Britain for certain West Indian IS
lands would be profitable to all parties
to the transaction.
The New York Herald has gathered
in many parts of the country the views
Of senators and representatives on this
question. The result is somewhat dis
appointing, since there is no decided
preponderance of opinion either in ia
vor of American retention of the is
lands or of their sale or transfer in
any other manner TO any foreign pow
or. Many of the Legislators interviewed
by the Herald are of the opinion that
we should never have acquired the is
lands, but, having them, we are now
bound in honor to hold them until the
natives are able to take up and carry
on successfully the business of self
government The element of pride is
involved, since there is a general agree
ment that surrender of the islands now
would be equal to a confession that
American methods of government as
applied to the islanders have failed.
1t is asserted that Japan, after her
experience in putting down the insur-
rection in Form osa, has no desire to
take the responsibility and burden of
governing the Philippines Whether
in the event of war between the Unit
ed States and Japan the mikado's
forces would seize or attempt to seize
the islands as a military measure is
another question. No European power
has evinced a desire to take the Is
lands from our hands
There is little doubt that many
Americans agree with Secretary Taft
In the opinion that the turning over of
the islands to the natives is not at
present a matter for practical discus
sion They are unquestionably untitled
now and will be for long time for
the business Of government The with
drawal of our forces from the Islands
would mean the Inauguration of a pc
riod of anarchy which would continue
until our government or some other
power again assumed control In the
interim all the benefits of American
rule, gained at an enormous expense
of lives, time and money since 1898,
would be lost.
An interesting suggestion is the one
made by the London Spectator, which
asks why President Roosevelt at the
expiration of his present term should
not be appointed governor or procon-
sui of the Philippines.

The congestion at the Great North

makeshift frame building, l6x32, is
being erected some two hundred feet
west OF the building which is now
called the depot by courtesy. In this
will be housed all the yard clerks and
telegraph operators. The agent and
the cashier, with their assistants, will
remain in the old building. This is a
bit of relief that is hailed with delight
by the overcrowded employees.

LIGHTING BY WIRELESS.

That the principles ofswireless tie
lcgraphy may be applied in transmit,
ting through the air, as medium,
electricity sufficient to light an cleo
trio lamp or series of lamps has been
practically demonstrated by r. B.
Garland of Ansonia, Conn, former
superintendent of the fire alarm sys.
tenn. He has been employing his
period of recuperation from an acci.
dent which happened to him several
weeks ago to carry out experiments
along this line.
Mr.. Garland's recent dcmonstra-
ton of the Importance to the discov-
cry Of wireless telegraphy is a result
OF recent experiments along this line
carried on by some eminent French
electricians. Although his apparat-
us was somewhat crude, which affect
ed his results, the experiment, he be-
lieves, proved beyond reasonable
doubt that he could produce electri-
cal waves of high voltage and trans
nit power through the air without
any direct communications.

WOnan's Trials.

The bitter trail in woman's life is to
BE- ch!ldloss. Who can tell how hard the
struggle may have been ere she learnt to
resign herself to her lonely lot? The ab-
sence Of this link to bind marital life
together, the absence of this one pledge
to mutual affection Is q common disap-
pointment. Many unfortunate couples
become estranged thereby. Evep II they
DO not drift apart, one may read the whole
extent OF their disappointment In the eyes
OF such childless couple when they rest

LIME AS FERTILIZER AND FIRE
QUENCY OF APPLICATION.

Lime seems to act as direct fertil-
izer with such plants as Spinach, Let
tuce, all kinds of Bcets, Cumbo, Sal
sify, Celery, Onions, Parsnip, Cau'i-
flower, Cucumber, Egg Plant, Canta-
loupe, Asparagus, Tobacco, Alfalfa,
Clover, especially red clover, Barley,
Wheat, Oats, Timothy and Kentucky
Blue Grass. 1t also assists in clut
root funge, earth worms and the lar
vac of some insects.
With this knowledge the frequency
Of lining depends; first upon the
character of the soil. If the soil be
sandy it may usually be concluded
it is deficient in lime, and if any OF
the above crops are to be grown sue
cessfully an application of lime will
be needed. If the soil is granite or
Of granite origin it will usually need
lime. The same Is true OF mlcaccOus
soils OF which there are many in the
south eastern section of this State.
Lime stone soils would seem to con-
tain sufficient amount Of Lime and
yet in those the application OF Lime
acts with such activity that no one can
safely say that there are any soils that
do not need lining.
Second: The kinds of crops raised
on a soil will also determine the fire.
