JAPAN LEADS ENTIRE
WORLD IN DIVORCES

Toxic, Dec. 5.-In proportion to its
population Japan leads the world IN
divorce, according to statistics Just
compiled by government officials. A
great number of separations come
about Immediately after marriage
Where as in England the proportion
OF divorce is only two to every 10000
marriages and in the United States, it
is 50, in Japan there are no fewer than
173 divorces to every 10000 marri-
ages. Most of the divorces recorded
have been brought about by mutual
consent and through the efforts of
the go-betweens responsible for the
original union. They were accomplish
ed without submission to court or
law Out of the $4,000 divorces which
were affected between 1888 and 1902
only 400 cases were obtained by law
suits.
The divorce report says: This re-
markable state of affairs is attribut-
able to the fact that ideas of individual
rights and obligations as well as
knowledge and experience of the law
are but scantily developed in the
minds of the Japanese people. But
since the Japanese women are now
growing in the consciousness of their
dignity and rights we hear row and
then of cases of women fighting for
divorces in the courts of law"
In conclusion the report urges
strlcter regulations, pointing out that
the general tendency in the civilized
world is toward gradual diminution
of divorce and that the proportion in
Japan is becoming alarming.

GAME RESERVATIONS MAIN
TANNED BY GOVERNMENT

Washington, D. c., Dec. 5.-Five big
tons are maintained by the biologi-
cal survey, U. S. department of agri-
culture The mammal reservations in
clude the Montana bison range, the
Wind Cave game preserve in South
Dakota, the Niobrara reservation in
Nebraska, the Elk Refuge in Wyo-
ming, and the Sullys Hill game pre-
serve in North Dakota The Niobrara
reservation was intended as a bird
reserve, but has been stocked with
big game and is at present maintain
ed chiefly for buffalo and elk, ac-
cording to the annual report of the
chief of the biological survey, just is
sued. In the first three reservations
mentioned the herds of buffalo have
shown notable increase since their
establishment a few years ago, says
the report. and now include POT head,
or more than a third of all the buff
falo which now belong to the govern
ment The. elk number about $50 and
the antelope 40, making total of
about 400 head of big game.
The number of bird reservations
was increased during the year by the
addition of the Big Lake reservation
in Arkansas. SiXty-seVen reservations
are now maintained primarily for
birds. The report urges the import
ance and necessity of retaining as
brnodino Grounds for wafer fowl and
other birds, tracts of land which are
not especially valuable for agricul-
tural purposes. The area of march
land necessary for breeding grounds
is insignificant. it is said, inco mpar-
ison with the benefits which will ac-
crue to the public through the in
crease in our supply of game birds.
