Boots for Russian Troops.

By the end of October. the Jill re-
ports, 1000, 900 pairs Of boots had been
exported from Japan to Russia, and it
further reports that a contract has
been signed calling for the delivery of
from $4,000 to 1905 pairs a month
until the cessation of hostilities. The
contract price was not made public.
but it is generally assumed to be s425,-
900 for 100, 900 pairs. Japan's capacity
for the manufacture of boots is such
that it will probably have no difficulty
in filling the order.
The same paper is authority for the
statement that ar order for munitions
of war worth IS, 500, 900 has been
placed with an Osaka merchant, but
no details of the nature Of the supplies
are given.
Another Japanese paper reports a
war order for $500, 900 yards of wooden
cloth valued at 5000, 900. 1t remarks
that a result of this order will be a ire
mendous rise in the price If wooden
cloth because Of the domestic require
ments. This is the second large wool
en- cloth order from Russia.

Transportation Problem.
In the meantime may L make this sug-
gestion? The transportation problem Ia
an exceedingly serious and pressing one
In this country. There has from time to
time of late been reason to fear that our
railroads would not much longer be able
to cope with 1t successfully, as at present
equipped and coordinated. l suggest that
it would be wise to provide for a commits
sion of inquiry to ascertain by a thorough
canvass of the whole question whether
our laws as at present framed and adj
miniStered are as Serviceable as thew
might be in the solution of the problem.
very foundation of our efficiency as a
people. Such an inquiry ought to draw
out every circumstance and opinion
worth considering and we need to know
all sides of the matter If we mean to do
anything in the field of federal legisla-
ClOn.
No one. 1 am sure, would wish to take
any backward step. The regulation of
the railways. of the country by federal
commission has had admirable results
and has fully justified the hopes and ex-
pectations of those by whom the policy
of regulation was originally proposed.
The question is not what should we I'M
do? 1t is, whether there is anything else
we can do that would supply us with eff
fective means. in the very process of reg
ulat.on, for lettering the conditions I'M
der which the railroads are operated and
for making them more useful servants of
the country as a whole. 1t seems to me
that 1t might be the part of wisdom,
therefore, before further legislation in
this field is attempted, to look at the
whole problem of coordination and eff
cheney in the full light of a fresh assess
ment of circumstance and opinion, as q
guide to dealing with the several parts
of it.
For what we are seeking now, what In
mind is the single thought of this
message, Is national efficiency and secur-
ity. We serve q great nation. We should
serve it in the spirit of it's peculiar genius.
1t is the genius of common men for self
government, industry, justice, liberty and
peace. We should see to it that it lacks
no instrument. no facility or vigor of aw,
to make 1t sufficient to play its part with
energy. safety and assured success. In
this we are no partisans but heraids and
prophetS of a new age.

the people of Boston and Charlestown
and Brookline, of Quincy and Wey-

cruisers and battle cruisers were

"a OSTON harbor should have been
* impregnable to attack from the
sea. Had nature been a mod
ern army engineer she could
not have constructed an oceanic gate
more perfectly designed for modern
defense against modern ships. =
One might picture Boston as being
protected by two great claws that
curve seward and wait there on
guard, pointing to each other. The
northern claw would be Winthrop pen
insula, with its beach and summer
cottages. The southern one would be
the long. narrow arm of lard that has
famous Nantasket beach on 1t and
ends northward at Point AlIertons
Between these two claws a prodigal
hand has scattered islands. From Deer
island, lying in the north close under
Winthrop, to Georges island in the
south. they form a stone wall with gaps
that are the channels. Far out, group
ed around the portal, the sea is sown
with lodges and rocks whose kelp
boards stream In an ever hesving sea.

es of leo melt and leave tho holes. The trees in the track hundreds of years old are torn away and swept into tho sea. These breaks occur at unknown intervals About twelve years ago Captain Martin was in the inlet when one occurred and he gave an account of it in the Juneau papers. Two years ago last spring one must have occurred, for in June masses of ice as large as an average building of Juneau were lying half buried in the gravel, although evidently they had been melting for some months under the sun and wind In January of this year a report was published in the papers that "the Dead Glac- fer had moved" Q kind of O galvan- ized convulsion, presumably. It was another of these lakes that had burst out lust above where the one of two years ago had left a gorge in the front Blocks of ice still remained in June that were half mile from the glacier and were stiil twenty to twenty-five feet in height and of pro- portionate size in other ways, al- though the unusually warm summer had been attacking them for months. The gorge from which the gdsh of water came was over half mile in length from the front of the ice and at the deepest part was nearly five hundred feet deep A clump of trees on the moraine, six or seven in num- ber and some of them two feet in diameter, had been swept away. and the knoll on which they stood, about IS feet above the level of the rest of the moraine, had been leveled to the same as the surrounding surface. This clump of trees was about O mile from where the water burst out, and they were swept out Into the inlet.
 There arc several glaciers along the Alaskan coast that have this hab- 1t. like some other habits common to existence in Alaska. The Valdez Glacier is one of these, but or a small Ter scale, for with such a burst of water as came from the Norris last January there would have been noth- ing left of the town of Valdez. The Miles Glacier creates vast lakes and at one time an outbreak covered the Copper River Railway with water, for miles and left ice strewn along the track that took the company several days to remove.
 The Norris Glacier is as alive as any of the ice streams of the Swiss Alps and is just as worthy of study as was the Med de Glac when Tydall spent SO many seasons Investigating 1t and Agassiz made his researches on the flow of ice and discovered that glaciers had motion.

On funiHu a Piano.

Many people think it is an easy matter to tune a piano, but this is not the case. A. celebrated Q must. elan as Hans von Bulow got into trouble in New York owing to this fallaciOus iGea. He would not permit the instrument to be tuned in the wareroom, one of his whims being that even short removal of a piano knocks it out of tune. There is, of course, modicum of truth in the theory. So 1t was tuned upon the platform where he was to perform He stood over the tuner all the time. at intervals emitting groans and strong German language. When the task was almost completed he gave a shout and, seiZing the wrench, began doing it all oyer again. In three min. utes he had the piano so hopelessly out of gear that it took three hours to get it right again. Herr von Bu. low had to pay dearly for this exhibi. ton of ignorance.

When Actor Made an Enemy.

Willie Edouin once told of an actor in certain company who one day lH- cautiously disclosed the secret that ha was actually saving s2 a week. The rest of the company were dumfounded ht it. Then they enjoyed "the joke" immensely He was chaffed unnerci' fully. There was only one person present who did not join in the fun against him. He remained silent and when the money saver left he took an opportunity of slipping out after him hud congratulated him on his common sense in providing for rainy day Then he informed him thaE he himself haG often thought Of doing the sane thing, hut circumstances had always Jeen against him, and just then he was at his wits ends. Would the saver mind lending him, say, ten. spot till Sunday? He did not get il and became from that time one of tha mos. bitter ridjculers of saving as tending to make a man think Of no one but himself. It really requires courage in many circles to own to sne's qualities.
