DIFFICULTY OF INVASION.

Whenever war is discussed invasion
is sure to be treated as a matter to
be considered anxiously. Yet sue
cessful invasion has always been the
exception, rather than the rule. Eng
land has had fit of the shivers every
few years for centuries at the thought
OF invasion, and yet it has actually been
centuries since she has suffered from
an invasion, says Manchester Union.
in the last war with England there
was a great deal of talk about inva-
sion, both of this country and of Can
ada, yet nothing came of it all except
the taking of York, now Toronto, by
Pike, and the capture of Washington
by Ross, neither of which had any
permanent results or even any impor-
tant influence on the course of the
war. Now and then something is
said in the newspapers and in military
circles about the invasion Of the
United States by the army of some
hostile nation. 1t is we'll enough to
provide suitable coast defenses, for 1t
would be disagreeable and expensive
for some one of our seacoast towns
to be levied upon for heavy tribute
by hostile fleet, but as to an inva-
sion which would reach anywhere into
the interior, It is not for a moment to
be seriously entertained.

The latest public school develol

The latest public school develop
ment is the proposed establishment
of classes at Montclair, N. j., for in
struction in the prevention of tuber-
culosis. A census of the Montclair
schools shows that there are about So
pupils who are predisposed to tuber-
culosis, and to save these children
and others the authorities propose
to establish outdoor classes in each of
the schools. 1t would be good policy
to make instruction in warfare against
tuberculosis general SO that the pu-
pills may guard themselves against in
fection, and avoid inclusion in the
outdoor classes. The open air school
is becoming quite general. New
York has opened one and the school
authorities of Chicago are preparing
to do likewise

ROCK ISLAND AND BURLINGTON
PASSENGERS COLLIDE HEAD.
ON NEAR HOLT.
MEET ON HIGH TRESTLE
Local Rebounds Into Ditch Demolish.
Ing the Smoker-operator Makes
Futile Attempt to Avert
the Disaster.

Holt, Mo.-One man was killed and
lS persons injured when two passen-
ger trains met in head-on collision
on the Chicago, Burlington and Quin-
cy railroad one mile north of Holt.
A misunderstanding of orders is
said to have been the cause, and there
is to be joint investigation to find
who is to blame in misinterpreting
or overlooking orders.
II. L. Howard, Brookfield, Mo-,
brakeman on No, G, was killed.
The trains which collided were the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy No G
and the Chicago Rock Island and Pa
cific No. 201. The latter train headed
in on the Burlington tracks at Gamer
on junction on its way to Kansas
City.
Burlington Had Right of Way.
1t is said the original orders were
for the Burlington local to meet the
Rock Island at Holt, but it is supposed
later the orders were changed SO as
to give the Burlington local right OF
way into Lathrop. The Rock Island
conductor had the original orders to
meet the Burlington at Holt.
The train was 80 minutes late and
the engineer was trying to make up
time when the two trains met. Where
the wreck occurred there is a sharp
curve and an embankment on both
sides of the track 35 feet deep.
Not one person on the heavy Rock
Island train was injured, though the
engine was badly damaged.
When Luther e. Wilbert, the agent,
realized wreck might take place he
called farmers along the line by tele-
phone and pleaded with them to stop
the train, but it was too late.

FARMING IN JAPAN.

Those who despise the power Of the,
Japanese people should correct their
Estimates by study OF the agricul-f
tural prodigies of this most capable
race, says New York American. In
war the first victory rests with the.
commissary, and the last objective of
all military operations Is the COM
mand of the wheat fields-or the rice
fields. Nations are strong not in pro-,
portion to their natural resources, but
in proportion to their ability to make
much of what they have. Now
Japan does its farming in way that
Us. from military point of view, sim
ply formidable. 1t supports a popula-I
tion Of 51,000,000 on an area of ara
bile land that could be contained in
"a circle with a radius of rs miles-con-
siderably less than the distance from
New York to Philadelphia. There are
more farms that are called worn
out" in New England and the middle
states than would equal the whole Of
the tillable surface of the Japanese
Islands. Our lands are worn out"
of course, merely because our scant
skill and tickle patience are exhaust
ed, and not because they do not con-
tain under their hidebound sods the
making of the food of millions. The
teeming little farms of present day
Japan were cropped thousand years
before the Pilgrims landed on the Ply
mouth sands.

A woman in New York obtained
$4,000 damages from a railroad com
pany because she was so badly burned
in collision with her automobile
that the scars preclude her from ever
wearing decollete gowns. The fa-
nous decision is yet remembered OF
a New Jersey judge who decided that
parents of children killed in an acct
dent could not recover any but nom
inal damages. as the children had no
money value. The vagaries of the law
are certainly hard for the lay mind
to understand.
