LAND OF INFINITE DETAIL.
Japanese Farmers Produce SeVerai
Crops In Small Space.

SaR0HSoU FMFU1GF0 TFO66SS
Crops In Small Space.
Japan might well be called the lano
Of infinite detail Perhaps nowhere Oh
earth may one see detail carried u
such extremes as in that land, Wnere
every available square foot OF sol
must be made to yield every possible
return. Farms of one or two acres
producing six, eight, ten or oozen
different crops are common slgnts, tne
soil being fortified and ha@dled In
such a manner as to bring results III
every month of the year.
One peasant who obtained some over
Aowed land turned what in this coun-
trv would be waste ground to profit
Converting the marshy overflow into
ponds. he bred and raised swapping
turtles, which in Japan are considered
as much of delicacy as diamond back
terrapin here. The farm now produces
tens Of thousands of the swapping tur
ties annually, these being shipped tG
Tokyo and Yokohama markets by the
ton.
Japan has also a pearl oyster farm
In the bay Of Argo there has been es
tablished plantation from which
harvest is obtained.
In May or June stones weighing
from six to eight pounds are sunk IL
shallow water, and in August the tiny
shells begin to appear on them. The
stones remain for two months, bu
since the young oysters cannot endure
cold in November all rocks In less thar
i've feet of water are moved farther
out, where the temperature is more
even. At the end of three years, wheI
the shells are about two inches across
they are taken from the water, nucle
for pearls inserted In them and re
placed In the water, thirty Of them t.
every six square feet Of bottom.
There they are left for four years
Then, being seven and half year
old, they are removed and searched
for pearls.-Washingt Star.

GUARDING A NAVAL SECRET.
How England CleaEsd the Building Of
q Mavr TvA~ az Crtfaae

Hew England cIeaksd the Building Of
q New Type Of cruissr.
In Europe extraordinary precautions
ere taken by all the great powers to
mask their military plans, and con-
slant efforts are made to ferret out the
military designs Of opposing govern
ments. Admiral William 8. Sims Of
the United States navy threw an inter
esting sidelight on this phase Of pre-
paredness when testifying before the
house committee.
TO show the extreme importance of
this matter Of a new type" said Ad-
miral Sims, when Great Britain first
built these vessels swift and powerful
battle cruisers extraordinary precau-
tons were taken to prevent her posi-
BILE enemies learning their characters
ties Great Britain had a number of
armored cruisers, and Germany had a
number Of them. Great Britain knew
that II she could build number Of
these battle cruisers that had battle
ship guns and twenty eight knot speed
i'm o.her words, more speed than any
other cruisers In the world and guns
stronger than those Of any other cruis-
ers-she would thus be away ahead for
long time.
"she laid down three Of those yes
sels. In the estimates they were called
armored cruisers, and everybody In the
world supposed that simply three more
armored cruisers would come out. with
ordinary guns, which are 90 inch, etc.
They were going to mount on these
vessels eight twelve-inch guns apiece,
and they were going to give them q
higher speed.
"You can conceal the speed, of course,
while the vessel is building, but 1t was
wholly impossible to conceal the fact
that they were building twenty-four
twelve-inch guns that could not other
wise be accounted for. Great Britain
did not want other nations to know
that these were going to be carried by
these three cruisers. So they induced
Turkey to sign contract for those
guns, and a certain foreign attache In
London paid not less than 1000, or
$4,000, to officials of the companies to
get to look at their books and assure
himself that the guns were being built
for Turkey. OF course they pestered
Turkey to find out what she wanted
with twenty-four twelve inch guns, but
IN the meantime the vessels were COM
pleted and the guns mounted before
foreign nations knew that a radically
new type Of vessel was In existence.
'sThe British wanted to get that type
ont because In any conflict with an
other navy that did not have similar
vessels the British would have a great
advantage. Their scouting power was
20 great and their powers of destruc-
taon so great that anything except q
battleship was practically helpless be-
fore them."-Spokane Spokesman-Re-

A Stump Jump PIoM.

In western Australia they use a spe-
cial type Of pillow called the stump
jump on account Of the fact that near
" all the areas susceptible Of cultiva-
ton IN that region are heavily wooded,
and the land cannot be cleared Of
stumps and roots because Of the dearth
and high cost of labor. The stump
Jump plow, which is the invention of
an Australian, is so made that it will
roll over stumps and other obstruc-
lions lying on the ground.

Grows and crop..

The biological survey Of the depart-
ment OF agriculture has investigated
the relation Of crows to man. The es-
sential conclusions are that crows are
about equally beneficial and injurious
and that they are not so wary and sa-
gacious as not to need legal protection.
Lack Of this, while not endangering
the species, win permit farmers to pro-
tect their crops or other property when

Thu Pocket STAGE.

It may fairly be claimed that human
ity has within the past hundred years
found a way of carrying a theater in
its pocket, and so long as humanity re-
mains what it is it will delight In TAX
ing out its pocket stage and watching
the antics of the actors, who are so
Ike itself andsyet so much more inter
esting Perhaps that is, after all, the
best answer to the question, What Is
a novel?" 1t is. or ought to be, a pocket
stage. Scenery, light, shade, the actors
themselves, are made Of words and
nothing but words, more or less clev-
arly put together.-F. Marion Craw-

FLAG PRESENTATION
COSTLY FLAG GIVEN To THE
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES EN-
ERCISES PLANNED.

AT s o'clock Wednesday evening
on the Normal campus, the flag pur-
chased for them will be presented ia
Company f. A program of speaking
and music is being prepared, and II
is expected to be something of an
occasion.
1t has been arranged that DR.. j.
w. Heston will preside. Prof. S. T.
MAY will deliver an address on an
appropriate subject. Capt. JAS. Rob
ertson will make the presentation Of
the emblem. There will be music by
a male quartet and others.
This flag is bought as a result of
a suggestion offered at the chautau-
qua auditorium on July 4. when a
collection of voluntary cash contri-
buttons was taken. The collection
amounted TO sac. when but S25 was
suggested. The flag bought is Of the
finest silk material used in such EN-
blems. complete with an eagle top
piece. jointed staff. holster and belt.
1t is furnished with a case Of water
proof material. The cost of this
beautiful example of workmanship
was $45.

played except on purely company oc-
casions. The regiment has its own
colors, and are displayed at the regi-
mental headquarters. No flags OF
any description are carried into bat

know that they are remembered
