Tokyo's Prolific SIums.

No tourist crosses the Sumida river
unless it is to visit the great amphi.

where the real secret Of Tokyos fu-
ture lies. 1t is the factory and slum
sections of the city, and the population
there has. increased in the last decade
ten times as fast as has the population
In the district of Kojimachi, which
surrounds the palace.
In the last generation the population
Of the FIVE greatest industrial and CON-
mercial cities in Japan has increased
by 314 per cent as against an increase
In the whole empire Of Is per cent.
The trend in Japan is cityward, and

Aluminium and Oxygen.

Aluminium Is in many ways q won
derful substance, albeit In the natural
world most Of it Is oxidized and turned
to clay. Its avidity for oxygen Is one
Of its most salient characteristics. II Is
said that one never sees the metal, d.
rectly, in air, but always and only
through a veil Of superficial oxide
which forms on its free surface with
marvellous rapidity. 1t is stated that II
fresh surface Of aluminium be pre-
pared by scraping with q knife the
oxygen Of the air runs In as fast as the
scale is peeled of and keeps close be-
hind the knife blade.
If it were not for this superficial
scale Of oxide, which acts as a barrier
to further action, the metal would burn
up or defagrate In air. The large
amount of heat developed by thermit,
a mixture Of powdered aluminium with
oxygen giving substances, bears wit
ness to the activity Of the oxidizing
process when completed.-Washington

WHY Breed Draft Horses ?

The danger of overproduction Of
horses 10 remote. 1t costs more to pro-
duce them than any other class OF live
stock. For that reason many farmers
sit back and proclaim that It doesn't pay
to raise horses; that there never was q
time when the horse market was 80 dull
az now; that the motor truck and tractor
have killed the horse business, and the
horse is q thing of the past. Some
people believe all OF this, even though
the truth of the matter is the opposite.
Those who have allowed such thought
to direct their operations for the past
five to 10 years, will soon see the error
of their ways.
II takes time to make much headway
In the horse business. Five years are
needed to grow Q horse. At best one
should not expect more than two colts
from three mares as an average per year.
Moreover, not more than 16 percent OF
our farmers are raising colts. Not long
hence the American farmer will wake up
only to learn that great opportunity
has passed. The next 10 years 10 bound
to see the greatest demand for horsefesh
the world has ever known. 1t can't be
met on short notice. The man who 10
breeding every mare old enough to the
best stallion available and ID taking
proper care Of the offspring 10 the man
who is sure to be rewarded. There are
plenty of men who have bought and paid
for farms within the past ten years BY
their pure-bred draft mares. In the
same community there are farmers
who are no better of financially than
thew were Q decade ago because they
failed to foresee the profits from using
the right kind Of horses In their farm
work. The men who have made money
and who are going to reap the fruits OF
their efforts In the future are those who
early saw the undeniable need for heavy
draft horses for farm work. who bred
that kind and who will continue to do 80
without halt.
Why is there Q general tendency
among farmers to buy their horses rath-
ar than to raise them? Farmers say:
81 don't want to be bothered with colt.
when get ready to plant corn or dig
potatoes I want horses ready to work.
don't want to have to pay $25 for .
little scrub colt and then have oil the
hother of raising Il, besides" Men with
snch ideas have to buy Q horse or two
nearly every spring at cost OF $50 to
so5O = head. Instead Of having horse
or two to buy, better have some to sell.
There Ia no unusual training necessary.
Anv farmer can raise good horsss II he
Iii only use common sense. He can
svsn succsed with pure-bred drafters II
he viii select good parent stock, take
rsasonsbly good care Of them and devel-
on the ofispring rightly. Therein lice
the secret Of success.
There 10 no danger OF an overproduc-
,,on Of heavy draft horses for our farm
and oitv uses. Almost . million horses
and mnles have bssn exported from this
country 10 thelast 81 month"; TOR uss Y z

perturbable captain and his aids had
taken refuge from the storm Of steel
He waited until the captain had with
drawn his eyes from a peephole. then
said:
"Your master-at-arms WIN not con-
fine me, captain"
"Are you still pondering on the eth
les of desertion2" asked the captain,
again gluing his eye to a peephole.
"The probable is unsolvable," said
Bronson. "By the laws Of honor and
Of Russia should be fighting against
you: by the laws Of nature and blood
/ should be with you. There are PEN
alties for violation Of law"
"what do you meanT" asked the
captain, without looking around.
II notice that your lighting top bat
teries are silent"
The captain paid no more attention
D him, and Bronson climbed the ladder
that led up the mast to the lower top.
Il is an. axiom In the worlds navies
that no man may live through an &C
tion in a fighting top, and Bronson,
aloft with the dead, could not but
have been impressed by the sight Of
the fall of the lower Russian ships
foremasts, tops. guns, dead men and
living, and the small signal yard to
which, even as the mast crashed down.
small flags were ascending. But the
ship went on, a man now exposed on
her forward bridge waving a wigwag
back and forth until abreast Of the
Argyll.
And now, though her heavy shells
still came toward the big, invulnerable
Englishman, 1t was noticeable that her
whole secondary battery Of quick fire
and machine guns was directed astern
at something which only Bronson.
high in air with a pair Of service
binoculars, could make out
"a submarinew he called. They're
running away from it! Now It has
divedw
Gunfre on the upper ships suddenly
ceased, and the Argylls captain and
aids came out Of their refuge to see
these two, with a furious turmoil Of
water at their sterns, backing and
turning in their lengths. The wigwag
had told the news.
There 1t is again. shouted Bron-
son excitedly. Its up for a peep
around. Now it's under again."
Professional excitement and enthusi-
asm are excusable, even when aroused
over the performances Of an enemy.
Bronson, who had gone aloft to die,
had new interest in life.
"The mother boat must have dropped
one somewhere" said the captain. "or
else it's the one they had hoisted when
she blew up. Just in time too" he
added calmly as a crash sounded and
a quiver went through the ship. while
q cloud Of smoke and splinters went
up from the stern.
A shell from the lower ship had
struck.
Steering gone, STRIP called a quar-
termaster from within the coming
tower.
Thought So" remarked the captain.
"We're hit in our weak spot. We're
helpless, but praise God for that sub
marine! Look ut them go!'
The two backing and turning Rus.
slams had Strengthened around. The
