Outside the Royal Clan No Man Has
Ever Spoken to Him Directly.
The mikado. earth born son of
heaven. and his court of demigods
dwell in forest solitude in the midst
Of the great city Of Tokyo. The palace
world is separated from the world of
the people by a triple moat of dead
water and a double wall of granite
crowned by twisted pine trees and
notified with the moss of ages. Ex-
cept upon stated occasions the mikado
is as invisible and we'll nigh as inacces-
sible as the sun goddess amid the
hereditary treasures of the Ise shrine
In his august person the holly disputed
origin of his race finds its reflection.
for he has the eyes of the Mongol. the
coloring and facial structure of the
Malay.
To his people. despite all the other
changes which the last decade has
seen, the mikado still remains the
vague mystic figure of the feudal days
Outside of the imperial clan no man
has ever spoken to him directly. not
even Prince Ito or General Yamagata.

China. Population.

According to the latest official re.
turns. the number of inhabitants of
China proper. Manchuria and the new
dominion is 312.423O25. And as we
have pointed out before. observes the
National Review ,China). the esti-
mates of C.lina's population have al
ways had a tendency to exaggeration.
and even If 100000 be added on for
Mongolia and Tibet the total is far
below that usually quoted. In 1904
Mr.. Rockhill. then United States min
lister in Pekin. after careful inquiry
came to the conclusion that the num-
Der of inhabitants Of China proper
was probably less than 21OOOO,OOO.
That would make the total population
of the empire something slightly under
300,OOO.OOO. II something be allowed
for natural increase since that time it
does not seem as If the 312,OOO.OOO of
the latest census erred on the side of

SPEED IN BASEBALL.
What an infieId Double Play Means In
Time and Action.

What an infield Double Play Means In
Time and Action.
In an article on baseball in Every
body's Magazine the writer shows the
wonderful speed that is used In making
some Of the plays. He says:
Making first base, though more dra-
matte to watch, is an uneventful ex-
peditiop compared with the trip to Sec
ond. 1t takes a fast man to negotiate
the journey in 3 3-5 seconds. No thrown
ball goes over 300 feet. and If batted
ball travels beyond the safe limits Of a
single throw it must be relayed by the
fielders. While you are watching the
outfelder scamper after the ball the
relay line is being swiftly formed in
the infeld. There could be no such
quick and accurate fielding of deep
outfield hits if the outfielder taking the
ball did not know that behind him was
ranged his line of relays ready to take
the ball the instant he could turn and
throw it. The relay line in profess
sional team forms almost automatical
~.
To make a double play in the infield
the shortstop. for example, must field
a ball that has been batted about 1876
feet He passes the ball from ten to
twenty five feet to the second base
man. who must then throw it ninety
feet to first. All this while the batter
Is running ninety feet, trick that, as
we have seen. it takes a snappy run
ner to turn in 3-5 seconds. It's a
close call and case Of utilizing the
fraction of second, but with sharp
fielding the margin is all on the side
Of the fielders. The double play is the
menace ever threatening the runner OH
first.

Soap and Water In German Schools

Soap and Water In German Schools.
The latest feature Ct the German
city school system is the introduction
of soap. towels and water basins into
children's day schools. The purpose
is not only to diminish the danger that
may arise from dirt. but also to wake
in the children the sense Of cleanli
ness. mental as well as physical. The
city authorities. besides laying down
times and occasions for hand washing.
go on to explain how it is done. The
great majority of mankind regard the
process of washing ones hands as q
comparatively simple matter. That ia
not the view Of the German authori-
ties. They recognize a perfunctory
and thorough way Of doing things.
and with this view they have included
q nail brush in the equipment about to
be issued to the schools.
