Although in most of the mines in
japan the various operations are car
ried out by the ordinary labor of men
and cattle, it seems from a report on
the mining industry in HOkkaido that
at three coal mines and at one gold
and silver mine, electrical machinery
is employed. In all, nine Electrical
engines" are employed in the coal
mines, and one electrical engine" in
a gold and silver mine. The nature of
their work is not stated, but it would
appear to partake mainly of the trans
port of ore.
A standing puzzle is the almost
universal tendency Of men and women
of all races to use the right hand in
preference to the left. Examination
of skeletons has shown, by the differ
ences of bone development, that this
tendency is Of very ancient origin. 1t
is often aScribed to the fact that the
left hemisphere of the brain-Which
controls the right side of the body
possesses, in normal persons, SUI
perior development. But those who
think that the preference for the
right hand is an acquired habit, al
though one of immensely long stand
ing. suggest that perhaps the left
cerebral hemisphere has become bet
ter developed as the result of the
overuse of the right limbs. At any
rate, a society has been founded in
London for the cultivation of ambi-
dexterity, and it will be for the physi-
ologists of the future to determine
whether education in the use of the
left hand can affect the development
of the right side Of the brain.

THE USE OF MILKING MACHINES.

THE USE OF MILKING MACHINES.
1t depends on the man as well as
upon the machine. Some men do not
have the correct idea in using milk
ing machines, as will be seen in the
following: A Wisconsin dairyman
who finds it great success, relates
this instance to show that some men
do not know how to use the machine.
He writes:
while the machine was doing well
on my herd. he tmy neighbor) was
of the opinion that his herd was not
adapted to it. and yet he wanted to
find out just why one herd could be
miIked with the machine successful
ly and another could not When
visited him he wanted me to start
right in and do the work alone. but
| told him that l would expect him
to do the milking the first time, so
as to give me an opportunity to see
where his methods were defective.
He started three machines and then
left the COW stable to do some chores
in another building. When he came
back some of the COWS were milked
dry, and others were not; but at any
rate, he got about as much milk by
hand as he did with the machine. He
then put it on six more cows and Off
he went again to do some work. and
when he came back he found about
the same results as he had in the first
six. The next morning l took mat
tore in hand and 7 stayed right with
the cows while they were being
MIXED. When l was through with
the herd do not believe that he got
q quart of milk by hand from the
twenty-six COWS"
The man behind the machine as
the man behind the hoe is chief
factor, it will be seen.

BOSTON'S MAN OF MYSTERY.

Even in our own country secret
passage is now and then come upon.
There was such a tunnel in Boston,
Mass, which led from the water front
back toward Copps Hill. No one ever
had the courage to investigate it but
once. Then two young men accom-
panied by their dog ventured in some
hundred feet. But their candle was
snuffed out and they retreated. AS
they hurried out they called their
dog with them. 1t refused to come,
but stood with bristling back, snarl-
ing into the dark, finally running
straight into the tunnel, and that
was the last ever heard from it.
Later the tunnel was closed, but be-
fore that the weird history of its
maker was brought to light. His
name was Gruchy-bold, inscrutable
and with his pockets full of Spanish
doubloons.
The little that is known of him
even now is that one day he appeared
in Boston. He seemed to have no
particular business; he finally set up
a store as a merchant, and offered
many strange and valuable things
for sale at an extremely low rate.
And where they came from was no.
body's business. Gruchy had a way
one hand akimbo on his hip and
within easy reach of his old horse
pistol, of looking at man who ques-
toned him as to where he secured
his goods that was a quick bar to
such free and easy questions. He
soon bought the famous house owned
by Sir William Phips, and soon after
constructed wharf, which rested on
the hulks of two sunken ships lying
at right angles near the shore. But
there was one odd thing about this
wharf-no vessels were ever seen to
approach it. There were rumors, to
be sure, of strange craft afioat in the
harbor at nightfall and the sound of
muffled oars still later in the even
ing. Gruchy was a lavish entertain
er. His house was the scene of many
a good dinner, where he had as his
guests not only Colonials but English
army officers. No one in all Boston
offered such choice wines or such del
icate viands. Practically nothing
more is known of him or his end.

debted to this man for candelabra and
various other things of solid gold and
silver-not purchased in the Colonies.

A GOOD WHITEWASH.

A whitewash needs to be well
made to do the work, as it too often
falls off in flakes after the wood is
dry. Slacken your lime in hot water,
make it as thick as possible, as soft
soap, then thin with kerosene oil
Now you have whitewash that will
both stick to the houses and kill the
lice.
Apply the whitewash while hot and
be sure that all cracks and corners
get plenty of it. Do your whitewash-
ing in the morning, so that by night
the houses will be dry and comfort

LABOR DECISIONS.

Commenting on the recent decisions
in Washington on Gompers, Mitchell
and Morrison, The Chicago Record
Herald says:
All intelligent and impartial citizens
will agree with the court OF appeals of
the District Of Columbia that the mere
prominence of defendants cannot be
permitted to control judicial decision.
The boycott and contempt cases in
which Messrs. GoTnpers, Mitchell and
Morrison, known leaders Of labor, are
involved have challenged worldwide
attention, however, and IL is essential
that the issues In them shall be fully
understood.
The contempt proceedings are, Of
course, wholly distinct from the in
junction proceedings. The defendants
secured a substantial modification of
the original anti-boycott injunction
and claimed a victory for freedom of
speech and publication. In the pres
ent form of this injunction they can
write and talk on any phase Of the
question OF the propriety Of the order
against them, or on their fight against
the company they attempted to boy
colt so long as their talk or writings
are not, in any fair sense, Fin further
ance Of the boycott"
But the contempt proceedings were
instituted under the original and more
sweeping injunction, and it is now con-
tended that the defendants violated
only that part Of the injunction which
was unsound and has been eliminated
by the higher courts. The chief justice
of the court Of appeals, in dissenting
from the Judgment affirming the con-
| tempt decree, distinctly says that the
lower court was without authority tc
make the only order which the defend.
ants can be charged with having dis.
obeyed. The majority of the court does
not. however, regard this as relevant.
Thus the issue is this: Should am
order of court having jurisdiction o.
a case be obeyed pending an appeal
notwithstanding any alleged errors il
ii, or should defendants, without risl
OF punishment for contempt, be al
lowed to violate orders or part o
orders which they hold to be ultr;
wires and which appellate proceeding
subsequently show to have been er
roneous and unsound? In other words
it is contempt to obey parts of an in
junction and disobey other parts Of
constitutional grounds" as Messr:
Gompers and Mitchell confessedly did
or are they justified in their violatio
by the subsequent modification OF tn
part to which they objected as void

Studied in England and Returned Home
to Prevent Foolish War.
Prince Ito, the famous japanese
statesman, VINO was assassinated by a
Korean, first served his country when
he eluded the vigilance Of the Yedo
spies and escaped to England, with
several companions who followed his
leadership, landed in England, where
they spent two years as students,
learning the art Of modern govern
ment and something of the relations
maintained between civilized nations.
Then Ito hurried home to persuade
the Choshiu officers from engaging in
a war with the combined forces OF the
United States, Great Britain, Holland
and France. He was unable to prevent
one naval fight at Shimonoseki, In
which his countrymen were badly
beaten, as he knew they would be. But
he had proved the wisdom OF his coun-
sci, and he was given a place on the
commission which conducted the sub
sequent negotiations, and not only
prevented further hostiliries, but open
ed the eyes of his clansmen to the
necessity of a united and progressive
Japan, with new forms Of government
and civilization patterned after west
ern models. The real progress Of Jap
an dates from that event.
In 1871 he studied the coinage sys-
tenn OF the United States, and his re-
port resulted in the adoption Of the
decimal system of money and the es-
tablishment OF the mint at Osaka. The
next year, in 1872, he was one OF the
commissioners which obtained from
other nations a modification of their
treaty with Japan, and in that same
year he took the leading part in build
ing railroad from Yokohama TO To-
kio.
He entered the home office in 1878,
and visited Germany. After this, be-
cause Of his admiration for things
German, he was called the japanese
Bismarck
In 1885 Ito became a member of the
cabinet, as minister president Of state,
and while in this Office he inaugurared
many reforms. From this time on his
progress was rapid He studied west
ern constitutions, and the result was
constitution for Japan, Of which he
Is known as "the father" IT is classed
as magnificent instrument, much
more liberal in many respects than
most European constitutions.
AS premier, Prince Ito carried Japan
through the Russian war, and has
since had much to do with the admin
istration of Korea. In fact, he has
not only directed most of the govern
mental reforms in that country, but
upon his shoulders was laid the bur.
den of placating the Koreans.
Prince Ito visited the United state;
in 1901, on his way to Europe, anC
received the degree of LII. %. from
Yale.

Hartford Times: Just two years ago
the country was experiencing a finan-
cial whirlwind. The panic was in full

booker Trust Co, OF New York, went
into the hands OF a receiver and public
confidence was shaken. On Oct. %,

seeking to allay the tension, announc-
ed that $25,000,000 of government
money would be deposited in New
York banks, and on That date the
Westinghouse concerns failed and the
run on the Trust Company of America
assumed prodigious proportions. On
Oct. "a call money rose to 100 per
cent, but J. Pierpont Morgan organized
bankers pool to loan $25,000,000 at
10 per cent
The events OF the following days
grated on the nerves. 1t was time
that tried mems souls Values crum-
bled; financial and industrial concerns
went into hands of receivers; mill
wheels stopped turning credit was
strained; anxiety and distrust and un-
certainty prevailed. Then came months
of industrial paralysis. Production was
reduced to it's lowest terms.
The change watch has been wrought
since the upheaval Of two years ago is
| remarkable. The recovery from the
disaster has been striking. On the
bedrock barred by the crisis and de-
preston has been erected, steadily and
not systematically, a great structure
Of prosperity. Activity has taken the
place of dullness. Two jobs now grow
where only one grew before. genera
spirit of confidence obtains. Tne finan.
ciaI outlook is not wholly satisfactory
but conditions generally are altogether
encouraging.
The revolution which has been ac'
complished in two years is character
istic OF the American people. No coun

ton as the United States.

BIGGEST SHARK or ALL.
Jaws of an Eighty Footsr Restored
in American Museum.

New York Sun: The jaws from a
great shark from the Tertiary OF south
Carolina have just been placed on ex-
hibition In the Hall Of Fossil Fishes
at the American Museum OF Natural
History. The jaws are models, but the
teeth are from the actual specimen.
They were found many years ago by
Joseph Cohen of Charleston.
Scientists consider this specimen the
largest and most formidable fish of
which they have any record. IT'S jaws
must have measured about nine feet
across and when widely opened CAPPED
from five to six feet, large enough to
close on the body of man or huge
fish.
The teeth average about six inches
in height in the middle OF the jaw
seven inches being the maximum and
two inches Ia the minimum. In the
restoration the teeth are arranged in
the same manner as in the living
species OF Carcharondon, the great
white shark or maneater
1t Is estimated that the length OF
this Carolina shark was approximately
eighty feet. 1t Is stated that the larg-
est living shark. the Rhinodens prob
ably does not exceed fifty feet.

RACIAL CONFUSION.

There is a growing disposition to
drop the squeamish attitude that has
always been Characteristic of the
American people in discussing the
blending of Caucasian and African
blood. Public men realize the great
Importance of the question and are
commencing to calmly and sanely dis
cuss it's serious phases.
This seems the only way. If the evil
exists-if the integrity Of the white
race is threatened--if seeds are being
sown in reckless passion from which
future harvests of destruction are to
be reaped-why endeavor to muzzle
the protests which give a timely note
of warning?
Distinct signs of miscagenation are
to be seen daily in the variations of
color which the negro presents-some
of it far removed from the ebony hue
Of the native African. There is an old
saying that one drop of negro blood
means racial ostracism. But how is
this always to be detected?
II the radical changes that have oc-
CURED during the last century are to
be viewed seriously-how long will II
be till the nation reaches a point
where amalgamation will be an actua
reality?
There are two aspects in which thi!
question may be viewed - either o.
which is repellant.
