prisons of the Empire directly under the Department of Justice and by in augurating the separate-caI system. The new mems prison at Tokio, which was built by prisoners last year, is re- garded as a model institution. There are two classes of cells, 0xae for old of lenders, and one. less prison-Eke, for first offenders.
 The ordinary department has plastered walls and plank floors and sleeping rooms to accommodate eight persons, each room having six cleo trie bulbs. MT. Yamashita says: ''The prisoners are well provided for in the way of library and bathing facilities, and have netting on the windows to keep out mosquitoes in summer. There is an amphitheatre seating 360 where the prisoners may be gathered for moral or religious instruct on. There is a prison hospital with attend ant physicians, as well as factories of all kinds and facilities for teaching prisoners to become useful members of society after being set >free.''

ARGENTINE RAILROADS
 TAX EMPLOYES so THEY
 MAY RECEIVE PENSIONS

Buenos Aires, Dec. s.-The -Argen- tine Congress has advanced to a, new stage the so-ca11ed Project Law, es- tablishing pensions for railroad em- p1oyes. The law, as framed, is re- tractive, which means that if it is passed new and severe strain will be brought upon the Argentine rail way companies. No funds have been appropriated to meet this initial strain and it is said there cannot be, so the expense will be met, it is declared, by subjecting the employees to a. three per cent discount on wages, which sums will be turned into a pension fund This phase of the scheme makes it ob- jectionab1e to the employees generally, and the railway companies themselves are not professing sympathy with the scheme. Incidentally, however, the companies have anticipated further burdens by increasing certain freight rates as much as ten per cent.
 The pension~1aw aims to secure pen sions for the full support of all en- ployes after 30 years service on any or several lines.

Japanese American friendship. All of the speakers who included Viscount Kanecko; Admiral Baron .Uriu, Baron kanda, Dr. Soyeda and others dweIt fmpressingly. upon the desire of Japan to continue and develop her amicable relations with the United States.
 Dr. Soyeda, who is president of the Japanese railways, went further than Vo1c1ng the usual expression of friend ship. After saying that Japan could never forget that the United States had led her into the paths of right eousness he dec1ared: ''I want to say this: in case of danger arising to the American Republic, I am confident that our compatriots who reside with in the borders of the United States would be ready to spend their last penny and give up their lives to help save that Republic if 1t were in dan ger"
 Dr. Surge was grateful for the warmth of the reception accorded him. He said he felt somewhat, ashamed to come to Japan after the disagreeable things that had occurred in Ca1ifor- mia but he was delighted to find that people were showing him even greater kindness than during his visit several years ago.

PARIS SHORT OF
 COPPER; PATRONS TAKE
 POSTAGE FOR CHANGE

Paris, Dec. B. Notices have been posted in many of the Parisian cafes that patrons who do not have the right change to pay fof refreshments will have to accept postage stamps or checks for change for any sum less than ten sous This is another indi- cation of the scarcity of coppers, which numerous collections for char table purposes have withdrawn tenn porarf1y from circulation. and the fact that since small money became scarce there has been a tendency on the part of the people to cling to what they have. Some people are said to be hoarding coppers because they are afraid they will get entirely out of them, and others, it is charged, are collecting them with the less worthy motive of making five franc premium on every hundred francs in copper coins delivered at certain confidential points. It is the old story of the Ger mans trying to drain France of it's copper The real reason is thought in official circles to be simply that the absence of gold overworks all the mi nor denominat tions. copper and nickel as well as silver.
 The mint is handicapped by the mobiIizing of some ofN it's machines for other urgent work for the national defense and the copper coinage fell last month to 100000 francs.

JAPANESE HARD
 AT WORK BUILDING
 MANY STEEL SHIPS
Forty-Four Vessels Aggregat- ing 188,OOO Tons Each Will
 Soon be AfIOat.

Kobe, Japan, Dec. 3.-No visitor who enters Kobe by sea can fail to ob- serve the great activity in ship-buiId- capitalized ship7yard in Japan is To- cated here. and all it's docks are filled with work. Three large ships and many smaller ones are in course of construction. Electrical steel riveters keep up a constant din which can be heard far out at sea.
 In June there were forty-four ships, aggregating 188,OO0 tons in the hands of Japanese builders and the tonnage has increased considerably since that time, although the exact figures are not available. All Japanese ship yards have orders which will keep them at high pressure for over a year. The scarcity of cargo space which the entire world is feeling, has thrown much business into the Japanese ship yards.
 The ship-yard at Osaka is reported to have nearly 100, 900 tons of steel ships in course of construction. It is estimated that there is a tonnage of 75 GOO in course of construction here in Kobe and small yards in various ports probably have a tonnage of /25,- 900 under way.
 Prices for ships have risen at amaz- ing rates. Freight is congested at practically every important port in the Far East. In giving orders, the ship ping concerns inquire about the speed with which a comrnission can be exc cuted rather than the charge. It is rumored that the right of placing or ders is now being sold and bought at a high premium by those interested in shipbuilding transactions.

0SBORNE'S IDEAS
 GET ATTENTION IN
 JAPANESE ISLANDS
Brown Men Used Prison Re- forms He Has As Far Back
 As. 17th Century.

Tokio. Dec. 3.-The experiments in
 prison reform conducted by Thomas Mott Osborne, warden of Sing Sing
 prison. New York, have attracted at tent1on in Japan, not only because the Japanese are always keen1y interested in the social movements of the west
 but for the special reason that sys- lem for self-government similar to that which is being tried at Sing Sing
 was followed in the prisons of Tokio
 as far back as the year 1850.
 It is intimated that if Warden Os-
 borne's Sing Sing experiments suc- ceed, there is possibility that the
 elf-government scheme may be inau-
 gurated, or rather revived, in Japan ese prisons.
 Ke1Jiro Yamashita, who is chief en-
 gineer in the present department of
 Justice, has found that in 1850 the in mates of Tokio prisons chose their own officials for the maintenance of order, and great deal of authority
 was vested in those officials, even the power to impose the sentence of death. So far as the records show the Tokio system worked out satisfa ctoriIy, but for some reason it dropped out of vo- gue. Japan has always watched the
 course of prison reform in the United States, and when a movement was started to improve the Japanese pris- ons in 1881, commissions were sent to
 the United States. as we'll as Europe,
 to make a study of prison conditions.
 Owing to the difference in life and
 customs, Western smethods, could not
 be wholly introduced into the Japan
 ese prisons, but in 1908 a great step forward was made by placing all the

CRUISER BRISBANE IS
 LARGEST UNDER UNION
 JACK IN SOUTHERN SEAS

Sydney, Australia Dec. 3.-The cr1i- ser Brisbane, the latest unit in the Australian navy, which was launched successfully at the Cockatoo' Island naval yard here this month, is the largest vessel of any type yet launch ed under the Union Jack in the South ern Hemisphere. The Brisbane is of 5,4oOS tons, and is the first cruiser to be constructed completely by any of the oversea British DoIninions. At the launching she was christened by Mrs. Fisher, the\ wife of the prime minister, who is, from Queensland. It is after the capital of that state that the cruiser is named.
 It is hoped to place the Brisbane in commission next August. She is to be followed on the stocks by another vessel of the same type to be called the Adelaide, in honor of the capital of South Australia.

JAPANESE EMPEROR RECEIVES A BIBLE
 AT TOKYO BANQUET
Friendship Between Nippon and America Highly
 Expressed.

Tokio, Dec. 3. - When we think that the Bible, which was presented to the Emperor to-day by Dr. Surge, is book whose teaching was inter dicted within this realm less than 50 years ago we have some idea of the great development of the Japanese Empire" That was one of the most striking remarks made during a not able dinner of 300 representative Jap anese who assembled last night to ex- press their gratitude to Dr. E. A. Surge of San Francisco, who has done much in the interest of the Japanese residents on the Pacific coast and much to develop the relations of friendship between Japan and the United States.
 The function of last night was in a sense a coronation festivity for it fol- lowed the presentation to the Ennpe- TOT by I0r. Surge of a beautiful Bi- ble, contributed as a coronation gift the United States. It had been in tended to present the Bible at Kioto during the coronation week, but the program of the Emperor is so filled that it was deemed best to present it immediately. The Bible is bound in pure white leather, has the rising sun'' embossed on tHe outside in red while on the inside of the covers is represented the Empire of Japan in gold side by side with the coast line of the United States. The idea of the engravings, which include also the na- tiona1 flags, is that Japan and Aneri- ca are bound together in lasting friendship.
 Beside being an expression of gratf- tude to Dr. Surge, the meeting of last night was a striking manifestation of
