The Japanese Policeman.

Japan has a police force modelled
after the French system. In various
places throughout Toxic there are
small "kabaDcho," which resemble
sentry-boxes. but are larger.
Three men are attached to each box
daily. One remains inside resting,
while another stands at the door, and
the third patrols a beat, returning.
at regular intervals to the box. After
twenty-four hours work the three Of
ficers are given the same time to rest,
and three other men are sent to the
box.
During their of" days the men are
employed taking census returns, ma
king reports regarding the condition
of streets. bridges. entertainments.
drains and cemeteries. They also re-
port weddings. births. deaths, theat-
rical performances and the presence
of suspicious persons.

lNsuLAR AUDITOR HIT AT.

He is Suspended by President for
Row With General Forbes.
Manila-Insular Auditor Clarke has
been suspended by Secretary of War
Dickinson for alleged insu bordination
to Governor General Forbes. MIR.
Clarke was engaged in the investiga-
tion Of alleged graft at Baguio, the
charge being made that his deputies
were intimidating and otherwise mis-
conducting themselves.
Governor General Forbes ordered an
investigation of their methods. Mr..
Clarke protested, denied the authority
Of the governor general and instructed
his deputies to give the Investigator
sent by General Forbes no informa-
ton. 1t is understood that Mr.. Clarke
alleged that there had been no improp-
er expenditures Of money at Baguio.

Number Of Animal Species.

In 1880 Bunther made a Inst Of all
the known animal species. In 1881
another list was made and the two
lists were compared. In 1880 there
we're about 1883 species; in 1881 the
number had increased to 311.653. And
as the minimum yearly increase since
then has been 10000, about 100000
are known at the present time. This
is large figure, but 1t is probable
that it is Insignificant compared with
figures of the species as yet undis-
covered.
The world of the lower animals is
teeming. In 1905 the naturalist Shar-
per listed quarter of a million In
sects and expressed the belief that
quarter of million was only a tenth
part of the number of the species of
insects on earth.

CHEAPER FOOD SOON DUE.
Armour Predicts Early Decline Of
High Prices.

4
Kansaz City - Charles W. Armour,
head Of the Armour interests here,
said that ne believed food prices had
reached their climax and were now on
the down grade.
General food prices are WORKING
towards lower basis, he said. "The
cereals are getting down. People are
going to take advantage Of lower
prices and that will have tendency to
relieve the stringency in meat prices,
especially pork.
Just how soon the lower prices are
to come, Mr.. Armour said be did not
know.
but we welcome the time, :" be
said, FOR no dealer likes to sell stuff
At such high prices as pork has been
bringing Tor several weeks. But when
the packer has to pay 8, 8, 10, and II
cents for live hogs, what has he to say
about prices7"
Mr.. Armour said that II the farmers
would raise better hogs the pork prob
lem in this country would soon be
solved. Suppose. be argued, that
two pounds extra weight were put on
every hog sent to the markets. The
aggregate increase in weight would be
enormous.
"lf farmers were to work harder for
healthy hogs, much less pork would be
condemned by the United States in
spectors, he said.
