noblemen In honor OF the sleeping god
Iyeyasu. Kept In stable near by Is
a snow-white pony sacred to the use
Of the god. This building is orna'
mented by the carvings Of three mon
keys, supposed to represent the unique
trinity Of San-goku no saru, the trio
that neither see, hear, nor speak any
evil. This fact is symbolized by the
attitudes of the monkeys, one having
his paws over his eyes, the second
covering his mouth, and the third his
ears. Wherever one goes In Japan he
will see these images of blind, dumb
and deaf monkeys. In this same court
Is a cistern fashioned out Of solid
rock, and holding holy water, which
comes from a stream on the mountain
side, known as the White Thread Cas-
cade, as the water flows over the
brink of the precipice in such a dell
cate layer of the silvery fluid as to
look to be a part of the glistening
stone.
In the midst of his admiration Of
this scene the tourist hears the soft
ting-a-ling Of golden wind bells under
the caves of the buildings as they are
gently swayed to and fro by the
breeze.
At the head of another fight Of
steps the visitor comes upon a second
court, filled with wonder-works oi
Japanese skill, and gifts from other
countries. Among these last are a

along the Alaska Coast, the islands in Boring
Sea, Siberia, and the Arctic Ocean, during
which he took thousands of feet of moving
picture films, showed about 1000 feet of the

rookeries with the great, uDgainly sea ani-
mails in thousands, wonderful Alaskan wster-
falls, and seals and sea lions on shore and iii
the water.
With the pictures Capt. Kleinschmidt de-
livered a lecture on the subject of Alaska,
the scenery of which he declared to b
grander than anything in Switzerland, while
its resources, he said, are practically limit
less.-I6id.
