Latest adyices from San Francisco
concerning the sale of the former Pa.

to the japanese steamship company
are that they will return to the Pa

The Korea and Siberia are now un-

The Korea,s charter expires in five
months, the Siberia's in six months.
Immediately after the expiration of
the charters they will come TO San
Francisco via the canal They will
take on Japanese and Chinese crews;

commanded by japanese captains and
quite certain that the officers will be
Japanese. They will then go into the
regular run with the Shinyo Maru,
the Tenyo Maru and the other liners

The purchase by the Japanese line
was unexpected. although Ii was
known that It was badly in need Of
at least one liner to take the place
of the Chiyo Maru. recently wrecked
near the entrance to Hongkong har-
Dor.
A significant feature of the pur-
chase is that the Japanese have
bought the only two possibilities for
Pacific trade. The China Mail Com
pany sent representative back East
in an effort to buy these two steam

porting that the price was too high
But the Japanese, although no fig

price They had to have the ships
and they bought them at price re-

MOTIONS.


HOW ANGER AND FEAR AFFLcr THE SOLDIER.
Professor Sherriugton recently gave a fa5-
chatting lecture on the psycho-physiolo9y
Of the battlefield at the Royal Iustitu ion.
Tae emotions of anger and fear which the
fighting mau experiences produce, he ex-
planned, the most widespread temporary
changes in the body. Mature sets the
body, as it were, on u war footing, mobllis-
ing its resources for Il crisis which will involve,
III all probability, extreme effort"
1t il "a curious fuct that fear and anger
seem to produce practically Identical effects.
First comes the nerve storm, which causes
an extraordinary rise in the blood pressure
in the voluntary muscles, heart, and brain,
and withdraws blood from the skin, stomach,
liver (Which normally contains about a quar-
ter Of the blood of the whole bcdy), aud . h.
er organs. The heart beats much more vio-
lently than usual. The brain gets an extra
supply Of blood to enable ii to increase its
power and resources.
But the most striking phenomenon of all
Is the discharge into the blood from tho
tiny core of the adronal capsule (near the
kidneysl of what Professor Sherrlngton
called chat marvellous stimulant' adreuine.
Adrenine accentuates in every particular
the effects of the anger or fear nerve storm.
The voluntary muscles are then rendered ex-
traordinarily powerful and, for the time be-
ing, almost immune from fatigue; the ylscera
is thrown out Of action and the skin deprived
of blood so that there may be less bleeding,

After the body of q Brahman has been
amounted with sesNmum oil, the big toes are
bound together and the two thumbs. 1t is
then dashed to Il litter made of two long
parallel poles, TO which are fastened seven
transverse pieces Of wood. The shroud is
very snnpIe,-a large piece of cloth wrapped
round the body vud bound with ropes of
straw. If the dead Brahman leaves a will.
his face is not covered; otherwise, the shroul
is brought up oven the head.
The burning ground, or CHAT, is usually
near a river that those who have taken part
in the ceremony may purify themselves as
quickly and as easily as possible. Before
erecting the funeral pyre, a shallow pit is
dug and partially filed with dry wood; the
body is covered with s~plinters of dry wood
and sprinkled with panchagaria,- An infam-
mable liquid,-and placed on the pyre and
covered with branches and roots, like a hut.

banana. This fact, and alI that it implies,
dominated an extremely Interesting paper ON
the Island, which was read ny a former Gov
ernor, Sir Sydney Olivier, before the Royal
Society of Arts in London The stoIy of The
development OF the banana industry is large
ly the story of the enterprise of the United
Fruit Company. jamaica is only one Of
many countries commanding the attention
of that remarkable COZ p%oration, which practl-
cally controls the whole trade and shipping
facilities round the coast Of Central America,
and is, i'll the districts where it cuitivates as
well as trades, TO all intents and purposes,
the government of the country. But Jamai-
cas- interest in this business is not confined
to it's own shores. Outside the Island, ia
maican labour has been clos " associated
with American capital IN building up what is
one of the most powerful trust OF modern
times. When Sir Sydney Olivier visited Costa
Rlca III 1911, he found working on the Com.
pany's plantations there forty thousand Ia
maicans, forming what lie described as "a
most efficiently organised industrial republic
under the absolute, though very enlightened
and benevolent, despotjsm Of tho United
Fruit Company" One of The most |instruc-
tive things in Sir Sydney's piper was the
story he uufoldcd Of ihe way ia VIII ch this
corporation gradually obtained control Of
the banana service established b tween ia
maica and Great Britain by the late Sir
Alfred Jones with Governments support, un-
til to-day the Company controls 81 very fine
fleet Of fruit steamers bringing the United
Fruit Compauy's fruit to England, principnl-
ly from Costa Rica and Santa Marie and
Columbia" whereas nine-tentbs of Jamalca's
fruit goes to the United States. That, how
ever, is a question Ieading into commercial
and political regions which canDot be ex-
plored here.
Sir Sydney Olivier mentioned a curious
change III the pastoral economy oi jamaica ia
recent years. Jamaica used t. be q horse
breeding country, tut the development of the
banana industry crested d very brisk ana
remunera5lve demand for mules which has
almost entirely stopped the breeding Of good
horses. At tho same time, OWING 10 the con
seQuent reduction in the number Of GOOD
sized mares, the production Of large mules
is becoming more aud more difficult. On
