WBY OKIO, capital Of the land of the
cherry blossom and the chrys-
anthemum, Is not an ancient
city. Up to the year 1000 it
consisted of a small castle and
a scattered village.
Since then, however, 1t has in
creased and now extends over an area
of about one hundred square miles. In
16O4 lyeyasu, the first shotgun of the
powerful Tokugawa family, made 1t
his capital.
The government Of Japan was, un-
til lately, hereditary absolute
monarchy. vested In the mikado or
emperor. This was the ancient
form, but in 1855 the emperors com.
mander-in-chief, called the shogun,
usurped the governing power. In
1868. however, revolution over
threw the power and Office OF the
shogunate, the mikado was restored to
his ancient supremacy, and Toxic be-
came the capital of the empire.
Today Toxic is the home of about
two millions Of people, with brilliant
iy lighted avenues, university that
would do credit to any European
capital, scores of libraries, with up
wards Of million volumes, an un-
excelled system of primary schools,
n network Of street car lines, belt
line, and an elevated road passing
through the heart of the city to a great
central station. The fare on these
cars is four sen, which means that 1t
Is possible to travel some ten miles for
two cents. For is sen, or nine cents,
one can travel for almost day the
length and breadth of Toxic, and into
It's remotest corners.
