20 minutes longer. and, as no phono-
graph record can be made longer than
for a four or five minute rendition, the
two monographs permit of one record
following another without break. The
opera 'Mikado'' has been produced with
slight condensation, each act containing
all its allotted musical numbers and the
requisite comedy dialogue to make 1t a
satisfying and complete presentation OF
the opera.
The most wonderful developments are
crowding each other in an educational
scope for motion photography and motion
picture projection. The United States
government has adopted the motion pic
ture for in stimulating enllstments in
the Army and Navy. In England and
America elaborate motion views have
been made by the score illustrative of
natural history studies; motion pictures Of
the fishes of the sea. the birds of the air,
of insect and microscopic life. Views of
surgical operations upon the human body.
All these studies, together with geogra-
ply, meteorology, sociology and other
sciences being taught with wonder
fully nluminative effect by the motion
picture.

This the beginning of the sending
of young men away from home to study
and to observe what other nations were
doing. That the Japanese did well goes
without saying. for il NOT many
years after that the little men from r5e

to remain for few months and would

that he the of wealthy dealer
in mineral water near Toxic and that he
and his comrades had been sent out by
their government to make trip around
the world ana that it was their intention
to become officers IN the royal navy. He
said that all of the 10 men spoke Eng
lish. having been taught by English in
structors. aud that they were also study
ing other languages.
In seeking his education the Jap has
demonstrated that no obstacle Will
thwart him. and the Idea of man who
is destined to become the commander OF
huge battieship and who perhaps at the
time ranked high, serving Il steward
IS an example of their determination.

Despite this disaster the college was

built.

Hendaye. Frontier Town.

Hendaye, the French frontier town
which has been forwarding much Of
the Spanish crisis news, and has been
the scene of embarrassing demonstra-
tions by Spanish refugees against
their own country's government, is the
Andaye of Wellington's passage Of the
Bidassoa. Gen. Hay crossed the chan
mel and a half mile of sands at low
tide from the Spanish bank on the
morning of October s, 1913. and cap
tured Hendaye. To-day the traveller
by the Sud express crosses the 'in-
ternational" railway bridge between
Irun and Hendaye without realizing
exactly when he passes the frontier.
But the little river is an effective
boundary still. One day early this
year a correspondent found himself
in the main square Of Irun asking for
the railway station, and only one Of
seven or eight prosperous-looking lrun
citizens had French enough to under
stand or answer the question-within
q few hundred yards of France!
