intellectual Life in Japan. "
North American Review

from the North American review.
The position of literary men in Japan
differs In many essential respects from
that which is accorded writer's of promi-
nence in the western world The indi-
viduality OF literary fame and literary
personality in its various aspects have
not been developed in the orient to nearly
the same extent as in the west. The great
books to which men return again and
again for guidance and inspiration have
been written thousands of years ago. and
those men who earned fame thereafter
won their iaurels by writing comment
aries upon the classics. No merit attached
TO originality. Moreover. most writings
were anonymous. Especially If they were
original was 1t advisable that the author
inent. While learning was always re-
spected authorship never had the posi-
tion in Japan and other ori ntal countries
that it has enjoyed in the west from the
Greeks down to the present.
The Japanese mind will excel in the fu-
ture in many directions, but the greatest
development may be expected in those ac-
tivities for which racial and social eX-
perience has best prepared the intellect.
4 strong but selectve realism In litera-
ture. delicate word-painting, the success
full search for mastery over the forces of
nature, a grasp of social and political re-
iations" ipS-these are among the things
We may expect from the Japan of the
future.

Cacti to Garry Wires.
the Arizona Republican,

From the Arizona Republican.
Sahuara cactus for telephone and tele-
graph poles is the latest idea and one
that is to be tried out. 1t sounds plaus-
ible and it is believed that 1t will be
more economical than the old style OF
poles. It's test Is to come from Tucson.
The government is to build telephone
system for the forestry service OF the
Coronado fores. reserve. The first OF
these lines TO be built out OF Tucson Is to
be used into the Cataliras. and II Is there
that the Sahuar experiment is to be tried
The giant cacti will no; be sawed off
and set up nor will they be transplanted.
but the growing plant will be used as a
pole where il is found practicable. Where
they can be found in what approaches
alignment. so that the line will not have
to zigzag too much, the Sahuara up in
the canyons through which the line will
pass are to be utilized for the purpose
of attaching brackets to which the wires
will be fastened. And SO the secret is
out.
Along the proposed line IL is difficult
TO set poles. owing to the rocky nature
of the country traversed. Not only iS
this the case but il is difficult to get the
poles up there in the hills to set. while
the Sahuaras are right there in many In
stances, and while not at uniform dis
lance. this Is not considered impor ant.
