Toxic, Japan.-Prince Ito was as
s~assinated by a Korean at Harden,
Manchuria.
Admiral Count Yuko Ito, chief OF
Japan's Naval Generals staff, was
born in Satsuma Province in May,
1843. He vas educated at the Toxic
College, which was the naval college
at that time. He entered the Imperial
Japanese navy in 1868, and attained
the rank of acknowledgements in
1872. He took part in the Wal of
1887 in command of the Misshin, and
with the Hiyei went to the Persian
Gulf in 1880.
In 1882 he was promoted to cap
tain. From that time his rise was
rapid.
Count 1to's fame became world
wide in 1894, when he fought the
Battle of the Yalu with all the COM
bined %squadrons of Japan under his
command. The year after he was
made Chief of the Naval Generals
staff, and was created a viscount. His
Imperial master invested him with
the first order of the Rising Sun, the
second order of the Golden Kite and
many other decorations and dignities
for his services in the war with Rus
STA.
Ito's life had been frequently
threatened, and several attempts had
been made to assassinate him.. A
Japanese student was arrested some
years ago in the garden of the former
Prime Minister'S house with a dagger
concealed under his kimono. The
student admitted that his purpose
was to assassinate Ito.
He became intensely unpopular for
a time following the peace with Rus
sia, and a mob attacked him in the
streets of Toxic.
Ito took a leading part in achiev-
ing Japan's control of Korea. He be-
came Resident General at Seoul after
negotiations extending over a long
period and in the face of determined
opposition and much rioting.
Ito had been called the Bismarck
of Japan, a man not of blood and
iron, but rather of silk and STEEL
An admirer described him as having
the patriotism of William Pitt, the
tenacity of George Washington and
the diplomacy of Richelieu.

Professor Charles Richet, of Paris,
has devised a means for purifying

an air filter which mechanically steril-

are scattered along the walls of d

One of the latest Photographic in
ventions is a lens by means of which
a complete view all around the OBJ!
server can be taken at once. 1t Is
known as a periscope lens, and en-.
ables the observerto see all around the
horizon without moving. Such a lens
should prove useful on board ship, in
a~eroplanes and in all cases where a
view all around is essential. The re-
suit is attained by means of a circular
ring of glass curved on the outer sur
face, and fiat inside. BY this the light
from all sides is reelected down the
tube which carries the lens. The peri
scope lens enables the photographer
to take a circular picture of the view
all around him. The new lens is a
British invention.

AS between Summing and the So
called missionary work there has long
been a marked similarity of sentiment
among a certain kind OF religionlsts IN
their belief that they are led into
doing these things for the good OF
the general cause of religion. 1om--
myrotl l don't believe in the good
that comes from these moral 1nva-
sions of the East Side.
1.-The highest task of life is to overcome
hatred with love, fear with faith and eVil with
good
If it were not for false pride there
would be no difficulty in living up to
the tenets of the faith as set forth
in this little text False pride Is the
curse of Adam, and has been the
ruling spirit within the breast OF man
since the flood A man takes 1t upon
himself to be a bully; he runs over
everybody; he questions every ones
motives; he does not hesitate to lie
TO carry his supposed points, and IS
generally at odds with the world. lie
goes through life a menace to the
peace of the community. He has no
love for the good, the true or the
beautiful. He goes about with chip
on his shoulder. He nags at every
body and at every thing. He has no
patience for nor faith in what IS right
He antagonizes his friends. He loves
applause. He loves to be known as
fighter when at heart he IS a moral
coward. Ii is easy to forgive such
man his foibles. yet sometimes he ere
ates hatreds which last a lifetime.
There is no force behind this type OF
man. He plunges the line only to be
hurled back by the stronger front OF
truth. Of himself he is the type hard
est to forgive. Yet he should not
prove the exception He is as worthy
of forgiveness with all OF his wrong
deeds as the humblest trespasser upon
our rights or feelings.
