TAKE JAPANver oaBIES HOME.
Officials Have .a4lIed 5000 From
q. S. to Be Educated in Orient.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
TOXIC, August 10.-Attention Is being
called here to the growing success of
what is known as the baby carrier"
business between the United States and
Japan. The essence of the idea is the
bringing to Japan Of Japanese babies
born in the United States in order that
they may be brought up in this country
and receive their education here.
Over 5000 babies, 1t Ia estimated. are
born every year to Japanese families In
California. Many families are anxious
to have their children reared in Japan.
but are financially unable to bring the
babies home. Consequently hundreds
Of babies are brought here by carriers.
On each trip the carrfer-a Japanese
man, or a Japanese man with his wife
brings from five to fifteen babies and
distributes them in all parts of the
empire. usually at the home of the
Grandparents Masumi Yoshimi, one of
those who conceived the carrier prof.
ect, says he does not find the work
troublesome. On arrival at Yokohama
he engages q sufficient number of
nurses to look after the babies in the
train, and follows carefully prepared
itinerary THE only danger" he said.
| "is mixing up the babies. but I have
solved that by keeping an Identified

THE SEARCHLIGHT
Electric Bait for Night Fishing.

An inventive fisherman noticed that the
stomachs Of such game fish as bass often
contain glow worms and other phosphor-
escent insects.
He devised q tiny celluloid minnow
which contains a miniature electric light,
having its current supplied from fine
copper wire attached to the fish line.
A contact button on the fishing rod
flashes the lamp internationally just as the
glow worms light is frightened and
diminished by the creatures movements.
1t is said that the invention IL thor
oughly practical and has made some fine
catches of fish for its owner.

The HAWAIIAN INVASION.

seems to have invaded the United

Despite the wide advertising which

the islands are really almost unknown to

The royal families lived in rich idle

One Of these was shooting mice with

the islands. and the royal sport of

But In 1878 Capt Cook came to the
islands, had fight with the natives

From that time on the history Of the

During her reign a steady agitation
was started for annexation to the
United States. This was refused at first
by our Congress on the ground that
the agitation was carried on by few
Americans whose interests were al

in which she saw the end of the old
resolution providing for annexation of

the American flag was raised over the
islands to remain there. Queen Lili-
