ouis Katsura, premier and minister
of finance, after the assassination, SAID
in an interview:
1.-THE death of Prince Ito will not
change the policies of Japan. The
pacific motives of Prince Ito will ever
be maintained and traditions left by
him will always be followed"
The entire nation is mourning; the
flags on foreign embassies have been
placed at half mast, while all public
and many private functions have been
abandoned. The japanese and for
eign newspapers appear with black
borders. Only the death of the en-
peror could arouse similar demon
STATIONS of sympathy. Perhaps
Prince Ito's death causes more uni
versal sincerity and grief because he
was idolized by the masses as great
counsellor of the elder statesmen. the
creator of the cabinet and a friend
of the emperor himself
The boy crown prince of Korea is
reported to have been inconsolable
when the news of the assassination
of his aged grand tutor by Koreans
was broken to him.

First Use Of Iron.

As result of his interesting investt.
cations, Dr. Ridgeway concludes that
the smelling Of iron originated In
central Europe. and especially in the
region known as NoricumA equivalent
to modern Austria and Bavaria.
In Egypt it can be traced back to the
ninth century b. c.. and in Ldbya to
about $50 B: G. First mention Of its
use in China goes back to 400 B. c.,
while in Uganda It is said to have
been in use only some five or six
centuries. .1&z..,.,e.. ~ =
The above date for the first use Of
iron in Egypt refers to the metal OBJ.
tanned by smelling. The use. OF ma.
tive iron in the form of meteorites
dates back to remote antiquity. The
weapons made, from these were OBJ.
tained, like fint implements, by chip.
ping. And it IL interesting to remem-
ber that recent investigations have
shown that the iron Of many meteor.
