and India Anticipated by Everett.

realize the significance OF the Indo-
Japanese association.
Japan has given the signal to the
other Oriental peoples to advance,
and they are meekly following her
example Gradually, Japan is becom-
ing the Mecca of the Indian students.
1t is no secret that they prefer to go
to Toxic rather than to London. me
young Indians in Japan are engaged
in the study of industrial arts. and
yearly the number of students who go
to that country is increasing. In To-
kio, three houses have been rented
for the Indian students, where score
or more of them are to be found.
One may we'll ask if these young
students will not return to their coun-
try, after a stay of four or five years
in Japan, with new ideas of govern
ment and life generally. The Indo-
Japanese association does not con-
Germ itself with politics at all, as
Count Okuma explains in the journal
Of that body. But it is amusing to
read in the same article:
Men are crested equal Asiatics
and so it would appear that there is
no reason why we should befriend
| one country before another
| The reformer of Japan reiterates an
old and Admirable doctrine, but, at
the present juncture, when the color
line theory prevails in all its force in
the British Colonies, it acquires pc
culiar force.
! The association may taboo politics
! but it can never prevent the young
students from imbibing political ideas.
| What the result of this contact be-
tween India and Japan will be for
both the countries, time alone will
show

Peter, a Hungarian, and Kalma Etri-
onne Albrecht Frenchman, had
| formed a copartnership for the pur-
pose of adding to the worlds supply
of money and incidently enriching
themselves by making false Austro-
| Hungarian bills.
Everything went we'll until the two
partners fell in love with the same

better educated and Peter retaliated
| by throwing some acid belonging to
the firm in his partners and rivals
| face, and in turn received a good
thrashing. He thereupon made a
complaint to the police and two detec-
tives arrested Albrecht, who told of
the acid throwing.
Il understand that there is some
thing more at the bottom of this af-
fair said the one detective. 'You
have told someone in the house that
a man who ran out this morning has
been making foreign bills. Where are
the plates?"
Albrecht silently pointed to a va
lise and in this the detectives found
| five negatives for making 100 and sc
, kroner Austro-Hungarian notes. -Four
of them were stuck together with an
adhesive substance, and they were all
damp with acid. There was also in
the portmanteau some plates which
appeared to have been recently used
for experimenting purposes, a press
four rollers, a palette knife, hydro
meter, brush, printing ink and mater
ials. some photo-plate developers, ar

In the room there was also kit
