YOUNG CHINESE SEES
ONLY VAIN IMAGINING
IN JAPAN'S ATTITUDE
Student at University of
Pennsylvania Describes
De m a n d S of Mikado's
Government as Start
ling" in Their Scope.
BY LUENKING c. Y. KAO


why do our neighbors in Japan tu-
mutuously assemble and imagine vain
thing? From what can be cleaned from
the newspaper reports, the Japanese are
attempting an extraordinary undertake
ing-something similar to what had been
brought in Korea as her public men wish
us to believe. The mere scope as in
volyed in some OF the so-called demands
made by Japan is startling enough, the
contents of the real demands aside
Tho Japanese is Il wonderful race OF
people, no one who is more slow to
deny than we, thanks to their apparent
achievement in adopting the western
methods in various things. particularly
navy and army. In audtiOn the Japan
ese are endowed with the rare talent of
boosting" up things their own through
means legitimate as we'll as otherwise.
Undoubtedly it il within their natural
rights TO advertise fOr what their ma
tiOn Is worth. but as soon as in so doing
they interfere with others rights-nay,
personal honor--thcir action will be in
that proportion questionable. Take, for
instance in one of the recent issues of
the Harper's Weekly, in discussing Ques-
tions in ShantunE, China. our Japanese
friend deemed 1t advisable To make the
erroneous statement that our President.
Yuan Shi kai, had once been police
man" in that province, Policeman or no,
that is not the point; what is significant
and important is the underlying motive
under which our Japanese friends had
been so accustomed to slander our inn
portant public officials
AS to the so-called demands, herein
again we have good reasons to admire
Japan's startling ambition and arrogant
grccdness. IT a little child through

Observation-Disclosures led the states

quantity of output. This is shown in
a report of the department of the in
terror received here. The total sales
were 6,926,533 gallons, valued at
$872,51S, and nine-tenths of the output
was sold for table uce. The 1913 out
put represented an increase of per
cent in quantity and of less than L per
cent in value. The average price de-
creased about one-half cent a gallon.
In addition to the quantity reported
as sold, 100000 gallons were used in
the manufacture of soft drinks. Thirty
four active springs were being operat-
ed in the state during the year report
ed on.
The average price per gallon of Wis
consin spring water was IA cents. The
total value of medicinal water was
$50, 1892, and of table water S7SS, $50,
making total value of .$872,51S. The
state of New York leads in the num-
Der of commercial springs, quantity of
water sold and value of table water,
and nearly ties Wisconsin for first
place in total value, though the value
of medicinal water marketed from
New York is relatively low.
The sales of table water in New
York and Wisconsin are more than
twice as great as those in any other
state. These were the only states re-
porting sales of more than 100000
gallons of water.

perintendent, has retained Madison at
torneys to represent him. Mr.. Olbrich,
who is handling the case, declined to
discuss what moves are contemplated.
DR.. Brockway, the newly elected su-
perintendent of the state sanatorium,
is 46 years old. He has been in gen
eral practice in Oshkosh for seventeen
years and for ten years has served as
county physician for WinnebagO cOun-

After making a circuit twice about
the hall the procession stopped at Eye

important than the advantages al
ready named.
The greatest difference of all, how.
ever, between the American and Aus
tralian sheep industries is probably
to be found in the handling of the
wool after it has been shorn. In Aus
tralia and New Zealand the wool al
most invariably remains the property
OF the grower until it is sold to the
manufacturer. Under this system the
cost of actually shearing the sheep is
only about one-half of the amount
which the grower expends in prepar-
ing his wool for market He himself
divides the clip into various lots, and
the grading is done with uniformity
and exactness: Overclassing, however.
is avoided. In one Queensland shed
10000 two-year-old wethers were
shorn and the clip divided into IL
classes. In New South Wales flock
OF 1000 head composed of ewes, year
ling ewes and rams, % classes were
made, but this is probably an instance
of overclassing.
Despite the expense that this prac-
tice involves, the Australian is firm
ly convinced that he realizes more for
his wool by selling it in such a num-
Der of distinct lots that the manufac-
turer can find exactly the kind OF
wool he needs for particular fabric
and can buy that wool alone. An addi-
tional advantage is the opportunity
that this system allows of enabling the
grower to determine the profit that he
makes from each particular type OF
sheep and wool.

TO PURIFY DRINKING WATER
More or Less Danger from Typhoid
Fever and Dysentery in Using
Water From bitches.

By W. G. SOCKET. Colorado Expert
ment Station)
Wherever ditch water is used for
drinking purposes its use is always
attended with more or less danger
from typhoid fever and dysentery. This
risk can be considerably reduced by
treating the water with hypochlorite
of lime or bleaching powder, which
can be purchased in one-pound sealed
packages from any dug store for about
25 cents per pound. Water in cisterns
may be treated as follows:
For 5000 gallons place one ounce Of
the bleaching powder (so-called chic
ride of lime") in a vessel containing
approximately two gallons of water;
stir rapidly for about one minute; al
low it to stand for five minutes so
that the insoluble part of the lime will
settle to the bottom; pour the solution
into the cistern containing the ditch
water, and by means of long paddle
stir vigorously so as to mix the hypo-
chlorite of lime thoroughly with the
water. After 80 minutes the water may
be used.

LABOR LEADERS WILL LAUNCH
BIG HEALTH CAMPAIGN.
Union Men Will Cooperate With In

guard Workers.

M1lwaukee.-A campaign to improve
sanitary conditions in the metal and
wood polishing trades throughout the
state will be initiated within a short
time as result of a conference be-
tween Milwaukee labor leaders and
the Industrial commission.
Out of it probably will be evolved
suction system that will be a boon
to all workmen whose labor now re-
quires them to work in dust-ladan at
mospheres. 1t will mean a reduction
in the number of deaths from lung
troubles, particularly tuberculosis,
which is prevalent III the metal and
wood polishing trades.
Paul Gauer, representing the metal
polishers, declared that, of eighty-nine
deaths among metal polishers in Mil
waukee during the past two years, for
ty-one were from tuberculosis. He
declared that these deaths were due to
the imperfect system of protecting the
workmen from flying dust.
Following the conference, the indus
trial commission announced that a
special committee of labor men and
experienced employees of the commits
sion viii be appointed to make sur
Vey and recommended remedies.

der the leasing system employed in
Australia, the sheep owner secures
for long periods of time, at prices
VARYING with its value, absolute con-
troll of the land he uses. When the
government is ready to resume the
land in order to divide it into small
er allotments, the sheep owner is
recommended for whatever improve
ments he may have made, and is, in
addition, permitted to retain his own
central homestead. In the opinion
of the Australians the additional Sc
curitv and the permanence of the
business more than compensate for
the rent paid TO the state. In Amer
lea stockmen themselves are inclined
toward this point of view, as some
means of controlling and improving
the public grazing lands is believed
to be urgently needed.
In another important respect, sheep
raising in Australia differs from that
on the American range In Australia
the focks are not kept collected and
under the care of herders, but are
fenced into 'paddocks" which vary
from 5.OOO'to 10000 acres in size Here
thew are left to run at will under prac-
tically natural conditions. In many
cases they are only rounded up once
a year for shearing. Even at Landing
time there is little necessity for at
tantion This plan not only lessons
Iabor-a difficult problem in all parts
of Australia-but puts the sheep into
