WILD BOAR ON BANK NOTE.
How It Came to Be Used on Ten Yen
Bill of the Japan Bank.

Oaiy those well versed in the his
tory of Japan have any idea of THE
reason why the wild boar is used as
a decoration on the back of the ten
yen note of the Japan hank. The
story dates from the early dawn of
the country's history. from the begin
ming of the period which may be said
to be historical in contrast with that
part which is wholly NEUROLOGICAL.
and has to do with the era of the
Empress Shotoku, 169 A. d.
1t seems that after this empress had
deposed the Emperor Junnn in 765
that the man who had beer most use
full To hCI in her deposition was cer-
tain Dollyo. Dokyo became. with the
favor OF the empress, the most power
full man in the empire, and although
he was d monk there is no doubt but
that all the while he was III the SER
vice of the empress as her most trust
ed retainer he was planning to Seize
for himself the imperial throne.
Through a follower of his own he
had it suggested To the empress that
the God of war. Hachiman. had told
him in dream that if the empress
would secure the throne to him after
her deceaSe. that the empire would
enjoy forever after years of unbroken
peace. The empress, however. replied
that she was powerless to do this, but
agreed to consult the oracle of the
god before giving her answer.
Her majesty thereupon sent Wake to
kiyomaro, whose picture adorns ali
the old notes of the Bank of Japan
and instructed him to procure an an
swer from the god on this question.
Before setting out on his mission.
however Kiyomaro was approached
by Doyko, who told him that the en-
press was favorably inclined toward
the project of setting him on the
throne and that if he would see that
Il favorable answer was sent back he
should have many favors showered
upon him in the next reign.
The reply of Kiyomaro was not at
all to the liking of Dokye. who BAN
ished kiyomaro, after mu.ilating him
in horrible manner. During his
Punishment he was one day walking
in the mountains. when he found that
he had completely lost his way. He
was in 4 very difficult position, when
suddenly he saw herd of wild bo.ars
directly in front of him, seemih,
making off in straight path throuR
the mountains. He at once set out to
follow them, and after much hard
climbing Kiyomaro found himself on a
main road in front of a temple. But
looking for his guides. he found that
they had vanished. He at once fell on
his knees in prayer to the gods, and
went on his way rejoicing.
This great favor was vouchsafed to
Kiyomaro because he had refused to
be party to the crime of placing
upon the heavenly descended throne a
line of emperors who were in no way
capable of occupying the throne once
held by the celestia! spirits.-The jap.

a TIlTIN THE SENATE
Over Resolution for Election of Sem
ators By Direct Vote of People.

Washington. April 17.-The first tilt in
the Senate over the joint resolution pro-
viding for the election of senators by di-
rect vote of the people occurred today
when opponents of the measure which
was passed by the House tried to have it
referred to the committee on privileges
and elections instead of the judiciary
committee. a long debate resulted in
postponing the question of reference until
the next meeting of the Senate on Thurs
day
Proposals to amend the constitution
and provide for popular elections OF
senator's We're always referred until
the last session to the grave yard,
as the traditionally unfriendly COM
mittee on elections was called Reso-
Iutions on this subject last session
We're sent to the judiciary committee
and one was reported to the Senate in
form from which the pending House
measure was copied. 1t was amended
on the floor after tie vote had been
broken hy Vice President Sherman and
the change alienated the votes of some
Southern senators, resulting in the
loss eff the requisite two-thirds vote.
If The resolution should be sent to
the judiciary committee ii probably
would be reported back without
ame endment, while the action of the
committee on privileges and elections
would be open to doubt. The indi :
cations today were that the friends
of the resolution would be successful
in their efforts to send it to the jul
dietary committee.

What We Know About Electricity.

The fact that electricity Is no more
mysterious than gravitation is not
Very enlightening to most of us who
are perfect strangers to that great
natural law. Yet Charles Proteus
Steinmetz. the electrical wizard and
the genius of the General Electric
Company. makes this interesting state.
ment and backs it up with facts to.
show that we really do know a lot
about electricity
Electricity is IA form of energy, as
heat and light are" remarked Prof.
Steinmetz. as he putfed his cigar.
electrical energy can be converted
to any form of energy-made into heat
or light-or it can be produced from
any energy Electrical energy can be
produced from mechanical energy,
such as steam engines. We call cleo
trical energy mysterious. but in real
ity we know more about electrical
energy than we do about any other
sort Of energy. We think it more
mysterious on account of it's remote
ness..It is somewhat intangible. In
timacy kills the mystery about other
kinds of energy. Electrical energy can
be converted more easily into other
kinds of energy and by simpler oper-
ations than any other energy. 1t can
be transported over long distances.
Some sorts of energy cannot be trans.
ported. or else can be carried only a
short distance. Chemical energy can
be transported to an unlimited extent;
therefore as transportable energy it
is superior to electrical energy. Ener-
gy is seldom useful, directly where it
is found. Fer instance, water power
before electricity was discovered had
very limited value, as it's energy
could only be used where the power
was created. But as soon as electric
ity was discovered water power came
into prominence as one of natures
most important resources" - Daily

Pres. Taft Can
not Yet Intervene.

Washington. April 11-President Taft
replied tonight to message from Gov
ernor Richard F. Sloan of Arizona asking
protection for citizens of Douglas from
the fire of Federals and lnsurrectos. that
he was loath to endanger Americans in
Mexico by taking So radical a step as
sending American troops across the hor-
der to prevent further fighting.
The President said in his telegram
To the Governor that the situation
might justify him in ordering troops
to cross the border to attempt to stop
the fighting or fire upon both con-
testants from the American side. He
hestated to take such step, how
ever, because of the possibility OF
resistance and greater blondShed ana
the langer of having his motives mis-
construed and misrepresented and
arOusng MeXicans against many thou
sands of Americans now in Mexico
and jeopardizing their lives and prop
ertS.
In view of the conditions, therefore, the
President felt that he could not order the
troops at Douglas To cross the border, but
he again emphasized the advisability of
the people of Douglas avoiding exposing
themselves to flying bullets.
The message to the President was dat
ed Douglas, 1921 o'clock tonight. 1t was
as follows:
THE President, v ashingtOn:
"As a result of today's fighting across
the International line. but within gun
shot range of the heart OIL Douglas. five
Americans wounded on this side OF the
line. Everything points to repetition of
these casualties tomorrow, and while the
Federals seem disposed to keep their
agreement not to fire into Douglas. the
position of the insurrectionsts is such
that when fighting occurs on the cas- and
southeast of the entertainments people
| living in Douglas are put in danger of
| their lives.
In my judgment radical measures
are needed to protect our innocent peo-
pie and if anything can be done to
| stop TIE fighting at Aqua Prieta the
situation calls for such action. 1t is
! impossible to safeguard the people of
| Douglas unless the town can be va
Gated. can anything be done to relieve
| the situation. which is now acute?
