out, and the discoveries made are not
always of the most reassuring kind.
\ prominent writer in a Berlin pa
per has Just called attention TO the
peculiar position in which Lu1embnrg

between Germany and France. The
writer says that the whole French side
of the Luxembourg frontier is closely

is the fortress of Longway.

Outwardly the vessel looks like a
Zeppelin, except that the wooden cabin,
with bows like those of an old East
Indiaman, runs the whole length of the
vessel; also that there are no bo1-like
rudders, and the vessel has six screws,
two on each side, and one each at the
bow and the stern. Inside the vessel
shows q complete difference, the frame,
work being a series Of steel tubes car
ried from stern to bow, the lowest form
ing the keel of the cabin. The tubes
are brought together periodically at
the stern and the bow, and end in nickel
sheet steel caps

sets Of seven tubes lying parallel to
the length Of the ship instead Of trans
versely, as in the Zeppelins, in addition
to two globular gas-ballonets inserted
in the stern and the bow. Each bal
| lonet is contained in a series of circular
rings of sheet steel connected with
each other by a network of steel cables
supported by steel tubing running fore
and aft and fastened also to sheet-steel
bands, running round the whole body
Of the ship. A transverse section thus
looks something like honeycomb, with
circular cells.

Realize Disadvantages.

"Everything comes to Toxic"
Mayor Sakatani says, "but seldom is
anything sent from Toxic elsewhere.
The disadvantages to be overcome are
the high cost of fuel and labor. If
Toxic is to secure the Chinese field for
her manufactures we viii have to i'm
prove our system of water communica-
ton and settle various phases Of the
local labor question:
Since the revolution in China the de-
mand for foreign manufactures has
grown enormously, and Japan should
be in a position to take her share,
according to Mayor Sakatani. An i'm
portant step to that end is the making
of Toxic a greater commercial and
industrial center, and the cultivation
of the friendship of China by promot-
ing mutual understanding between the
merchants of both countries.

Birth Rate Falling.

l wonder if our intimacy with France
has affected US and caused us to initiate
our allies, for ever since we entered
the entente cordiale our birth rate has
been going down and official statistics
recently published show that in 1912 it
was the lowest ever recorded, falling
below last years record by 06 per
1000 and being 30 per 1000 below the
average for the preceding ten years.
The death rate was also the lowest ever
recorded, and SO was the mortality of
infants. The infantile death rate was
90 per 1000 births, or 35 per 1000 less
than the rate in 1911 and 80 per 1000
below the previous ten years average.
In London there were 42,227 mar
riages or 1876 per 1000 Of the popula-
ton. This rate is the highest since
1899. The birth rate again fell and
was only 24.5 per 1000, the lowest since

New Naval Maneuvers.

An interesting feature Of the present
great naval maneuvers will be an at
tempt on the part Of Vice Admiral Sir
John Jellicoe, commanding the "Blue"
Of the enemy's feet, to land raiding
forces on the east coast in face of a
strong feet-in-being.
The war Office is not only co-operat-
ing in the scheme to the extent of lead
ing considerable body Of troops, who
will be embarked in transports, but it
is taking measures in the threatened
area to test the arrangements for the
concentration Of troops in order to re-
sist the raiders wherever they may
land.
At likely points on the portion of
the east coast which is threatened,
groups Of scouts, with motorcycles,
will be on duty, charged to keep a look
out. These groups Of scouts will be
kept in constant communication with
each other. At convenient points bod
les of troops both mounted and afoot
will be held in readiness to resist the
enemy, and they will be provided with
light guns. These scouts and small
bodies Of soldiers will serve as the
front Of the defense scheme, while be-
hind them, at suitable centers. larger
bodies will be held IN readiness to CO.
operate at any point Of special peril.

Boosts for Toxic.

A bigger and buster industrial Toxic
is the dream OF Baron Sakatani, mayor
Of the capital of the Japanese empire.
Osaka, great Industrial city to the
south, has made giant strides as a
world port, and Mayor Sakatani is
anxious that Toxic should show more
rivalry to Osaka, which he calls. the
Manchester OF Japan.
The baron is convinced that China
offers a great field for japanese enter
prise. and that the commercial de-
velopment of TOXIC is necessary so
that Japan may take advantage of this
field Manchuria and Korea also loom
up as possibilities for increased
japanese commerce, but in order to get
this trade Toxic must devise some
more convenient means of Transports
tion than by Kobe or Tsuruga. The
first step, the mayor thinks, should be
the opening Of a new port at Naoyetsu,
In Echigo, north of Toxic. In its
commercial development Toxic suffers
from the disadvantage of higher wages
and more eXtravagant habits of Gv-
ing. Toxic has been a city of consump-
tion rather than of production, and it
is the national center of ease and
pleasure
