Hob Cost Of Living In Japan.

According to an article in Osaka
Asahi, prices have gone up in Japan
over twofold in the last twenty years,
while the purchasing value of the cur
rency has sensibly declined. Taking
the average rate of prices in Janu-
ary, 1887, at 100 and the value Of the
currency at the same time at 100. the
rate of prices in 1910 would be 22S
and the value of currency 4S, accord
Ing to a table published by the Bank
of Japan.
Another table published by the
same banks shows that the advance
in the prices of imported goods has
been comparatively small, while the
rise in the price of goods produced
for the home market and for export
has been greater. Compared with
the advance in prices in other coun-
tries the Japanese rate Of advance
has been about per cent. greater
than that in London and New York.
This may be due to some special in
fuence, such as the enormous ex-
pansion in the amount of money in
circulation.

GRIZZLY BEAR AND BUFFALO

While It isn't likely that the grizzly
bear will ever become extinct, he has

Of a rarity in many OF his original
haunts, and the hunter seeking sport
with him now must journey into the
Businesses of the far Sierras ana
Coast Range mountains or into the
wilderness OF the British provinces oil

In former days. when the hunter
and the ranchman had only their
double barreled guns, the grizzly had
little fear OF them. But when the re-
peating guns and the rest Of the de-
stroyers began TO confront him he
gradually but reluctantly fell away
from the pleasant borderland and
sought safety in the deepest isolation.
When there were buffaloes on the
plains the grizzly bears were keen
and persistent hunters Of them. A
herd of buffaloes on its journey sell
dom escaped attack from grizzlies all
along the line. When a grizzly and a
buffalo came to battle there was sure
to be a savage test. although It never
lasted long, the buffalo being the van
quished.
Confronted by bear a buffalo bull
would invariably charge furiously
upon it's big and ugly foe. This was
as the bear expected. He waited,
erect on his launches, the onset of
the buffalo. As the latter rushed for
ward with lowered head and was al
most upon the bear the bear would
throw itself to one side with astonish-
ing quickness and at the same time

I facturers who sold them goods were
pressing for settlement.
This confidential information was
carried by secret agents TO a certain
Slav saloonkeeper in the poorer quar-
ters of the town. A glass or two OF
slivowitz was drunk, there was much
comforting and nodding together OF
heads in the back room of the bar, and
finally the saloonkeeper said:
Send Jacob to see Leopold Drey'
fus!"
Jacob was the pr8nomen Of this
go-between, who was believed by his
family and friends to be a solicitor
Of fire insurance. And who could
doubt the appearance borne out by
the policies and stacks of papers that
he carried, his familiarity with rates
and his glib line of talk that indicat.
ed long experience in the business
It was thus that he approached the
elder Dreyfus, remarking on the large
stock of goods and saying, Let me
write you an additional policy Of
$4,000"
I'm carrying every cent the COM
panies will allow me TO-" replied the
merchant.
But insurance is good. In these
times"-the visitor batted his left eye
Just a trihe-"you can never tell what
will happen-a fire, for instance, with
total loss. In that case the $4,000
you carry now would be too little"
Look here!" said the merchant
suddenly. Il don't believe you are an
insurance man at all. What do you
want?"
VERY well, Mr.. Dreyfus, very we'll.
Let's get down to business. If your
place should burn you would get tho
$28, 900, Ell? You owe more than that,
it is true, but you needn't go into
bankruptcy. When you have collect
ed the $4,000 all you need to do is to
make a compromise with your cred
itors and you can retain the larger
part of the money for yourself. Yes,
a fire would be quite timely just now,
and you know as well as l do that in
surance companies are in the business
to pay losses"
What! You come here and tell me
to set my place on fire." answered the
clothing dealer
Not a bit of it," said Jacob. 1T
isn't done that way. You can go out
of town while the job is being pulled
off. Mr.. Dreyfus," and he looked the
merchant squarely in the eye, Il will
take all the responsibility and do the
job for $4,000"
Jacob saved himself from being put
out of the office by hasty exit. He
Immediately reported lack of progress
to the saloonkeeper. The latter had
a mail order department as a branch
of his secret business. Among the
confidential letters mailed to mer-
chants by the chief of the arson indus
try went several to the head Of the
Dreyfus firm; and meanwhile the diff
ficulties Of that establishment were in
creasing. Creditors threatened suits
and unsatisfed judgments meant
bankruptcy. The arson crowd kept
tabs on every move, whether of the
brothers or of their angry creditors.
Finally, at the correct moment, Jacob
called Leopold Dreyfus on the tele-
phone and made an appointment to
renew the dicker. He met the mer-
chant in his office and made the fol-
lowing bargain offer:
"I'll burn the whole place-every
suit Of clothing, every article in it
no salvage--for $4,000 You must pay
me 5000 down and contract to pay the
balance of $1,70O as soon as the In
surance money is collected. Those are

"GREEN WATER" OF THE NILE

The green water" of the Nile is
quite different thing from the green
water of the ocean. About April Is,
the Nile begins its annual rise and a
month later the effect is felt at Khar-
toum. A very curious phenomenon
accompanies this increase in the ap-
peaTance of green water"
For a long time 1t was believed that
the color came from the swamps of
the upper Nile lying isolated and stag
nant under the tropical sun and pol
luting the waters with decaying vege-
table matter. With the spring rise this
fetid water was supposed to be swept
into the streams to make its appear
ance in Egypt.
Within recent times, however, this
theory has been abandoned. Now we
are advised tho green water is caused
by the presence of innumerable num-
bers Of microscopic algae, offensive to
the taste and SMELL They originate

The world famous St. Agnes light
house, the oldest lighthouse In exist
ence, the guardian of the Settles, was
finally shut down recently and the
light extinguished, after continuous
service since 1880, when the pres
ent tower was erected by Capt Hugh
Till and Capt. Symon Bayly. Previous
to this time an iron cresset burning
coal marked the approach to the dan
gerous channels amid the rocks sur
rounding the Settles, so the presence
Of lighthouse on this spot extends
back even to earlier times than 1880.
The Trinity board decided, however
that the old St. Agnes light was too ex-
travagant to work. in spite Of the fact
that its continuous and faithful serv-
Ice had probably saved many hun
dreds Of ships from getting too near
to the dreaded rocks which abound
around the island. They have, there
fore, erected a modern iron automatic
lighthouse on the neighboring island of
st. Mary's.

own petard" Is such 9
worn old phrase that one hesitates tC
use it now, but Frank Walsh, burglar
and incendiary must have felt just
that way when the can OF gasoline
which he brought with him to ignite
the Office of the Long Dock Milling
company suddenly exploded and
wrapped him in deadly flames. His
agonized yells brought help sufficient
to save the building but not to save
his life. He had been hired for $40 to
do the job in order to cover up
fraudulent entries in the cashiers
books, but he dropped his cigarette in
the gasoline can and thus dumped
the fat in the fire" with a vengeance.
But however dramatic the fate of
clumsy Walsh and the consequent ex-
posure of his accomplices may be by
themselves, they have a deeper signih-
canoe when viewed in the light of the
recent discovery that there exists a
countrywide arson trust, with head
quarters in Chicago and representa-
tives in nearly all the large cities, the
members of which make a business of
setting fire to buildings skillfully, in
order to enable the owners to collect
large sums Of insurance.
Murder as a fine art. the scientific
management Of arson, together with
the proper strategy and conduct Of
private warfare, are subjects perhaps
better understood in Chicago than any
where else in the world. Lest any of
her great sister cities should feel en-
Vious of Chicago, let it be admitted
that Berlin and Vienna also have their

On the fourth floor of No. 232 South
Market street, in the Windy City, was
situated the goodly clothing establish
ment of L. Dreyfus & Co., wholesalers.
1t was operated by the brothers Leo
pold and Lazard Dreyfus, who had APP
parently an extensive city trade. The
brothers were extremely liberal buy
ers of clothing stocks, and the store
was visited by swarms Of customers.
Gossip had it that more goods were
carted in than could ever be disposed
of, and that many of the customers,
so called, carried away fictitious bills
of sale
In the spring of this year set of
private investigators began to pry into
the affairs of Dreyfus & Co. Inquiry
at Dun's and Bradstreet's brought out
the fact that the firm owed it's cred
itors $4,000 An expert who visited
the store in the gu1se Of a retailer
judged that goods valued at $4,000
lay on it's shelves and counters. The
insurance carried totaled $28,000 di-
