populated, beautiful and odorous-
Very. Yokohama is similar to an
American city, but Tokyo has but few
foreign residents. We had about a
week in Japan and took in the follow

the bronze Diabutsu, or image of
Buddha, the largest in Japan; Fiji
yama, the SACRED mountain (which ap-

to the snow line, trip that took two
days walking and horseback among
natives who couldn't speak a word Of
English, and Kyoto the art center Of
Japan. While the ships went from
Yokohama to Kobe most of the pass
engers made the trip overland, 375
miles by the Tokaido, the Imperial
japanese Railway, first class tickets
furnished by the Pacific Mail Co. Two
days through the Inland Sea, and
then Nagasani, fortified post, where
no Kodaks could be taken ashore, and
about twenty japanese soldiers were
aboard all the time to see that the
order was enforced. As soon as the
whistle blew for departure, and the
little brown soldiers got aboard the
seam launches, more kodaks were Wis
IDLE than ever before, and nearly ev-

At Frisco we were at the Saint Fran

There's nothing imaginary abont sea

HOW MAUREL LEARNED TO ACT
Friend Of Great Barrytone Told Him
of His shortcomins. to Very
Good Effect.

LOndon.-The secret OF Chaliapfne
(the Russian singer who has been SO
successful in London) seems to be tha
same as that of Maurel, one OF the
first Of the great modern operate
barrytones.
Maurel began as star singer In the
old style. One day when he was prac-
ticing In his hotel he received a visit
from a painter who lived in stdio at
the top of the hotel The painter
came to say how much he had enjoyed
the singing of the great barrytone.
Your voice enters my room like a
ray of sunshine. l have bought seat
for tomorrow to hear you in William
Tell"
Ma1rel did not see the painter again
for some time and when he met him
in the street some weeks afterward
he asked him if he had been to will
liam Tell" The painter seemed very
cold about it. He complained that
Maurel had not given the impression
of the character Of the fearless hunt
err" Maurel took this to. heart and
from that time studied the art of act
ing until it was said of him that he
was IAN artist who could act and paint
with his voice"
Verdi said of Maurel, after the first
performance of "Otello," When he
sings his best he makes one forget he
is singing" 1t seems to be the same
with Chapiapine.

his preference to summer capitol ir

ish with her attractions and where
the climate is SO perfect" said Secre'
tary Lane. The matter of summer
capitol for our government has been
long discussed and to my mind it is a
serious question. When President
Washington selected the site for the
national capitol he had many reasons
therefor, most of them political. Ger
tainly the matter of clin 'te did not
enter into the calculation.
"A summer session in Washington
involves a tremendous amount of suf
fering on account of the heat. This
applies every summer to the vast
army of department employees who
carry on the routine work of the gov
ernment.
/ am convinced that if we are tc

cure the maximum results from min

necessity that part of our time be
