SEE NEED OF CITY PLANNING
Japanese Municipal Authorities Awake
to Dangers Connected With Con-
uested centers of Population.

The remarkable expansion OF Jap
anese cities during the last few years
has accumulated the urgent necessity
of city planning. With this end in
view a conference of the mayors of
the leading japanese cities las oc-
Cured at Tokyo. Among those present
were the mayors of Osaka, Yokohama,
Nagoya, Kyoto and Kobe, while Tokyo
municipality was represented by
Messrs. Kabashima and Ogino.
sIn Tokyo, city planning was set on
foot twenty years ago, about the same
time the question of city planning was
receiving attention in Europe and
America" said Doctor Seki, mayor of
Osaka, il an interview with a Tokyo
Yomiuri representative. "In Osaka,
however, it is only a few years since
the problem began to claim serious at
tention, although the necessity of city
planning in Osaka is perhaps more ur-
gent than in other cities. The density
of population in Osaka is certainly
greater than in other places and i'm
provement in sanitary and other mat
tiers is urgently needed. 1t is esti-
mated that the population of Osaka
twenty years hence will be 2,650,OOO
and that of the two neighboring dis
tricts 100000, making total of o.
100000. This estimate is based on the
present rate of increase, but it is pos
sible the rate of increase may be
larger. Herein lies the urgent nature
of city planning for Osaka"

TAJIRI GRADUATE OF YALE
New Mayor Of Tokyo, Japan, Finished
His Education In Great Ameri-
can University.

Viscount Inajiro Tajiri, newly elect
ed mayor of the city Of Tokyo, Japan,
is a graduate Of the class of TO of
Yale university, where he specialized
in economics, finance, politics and his
tory, says Christian Science Monitor.
Returning to Japan. he was appointed
secretary In the department of
finance and also to a chair in the i'm
perial university at Tokyo. Suisse
quently he was director of the bureau
Of the national debt, banks and reve-
nue..
In the course of time he was admit
ted to the house of peers, and was vice
minister Of finance, first in 1S92-1s97,
and again In 189S-1904. He was made
baron in 1895 and a viscount in 1907.
More recently he has been chief of
the board of audit. To knowledge of
the technique of banking, national
finance and international credit the
viscount adds interest in and mastery
Of natural science, and in both fields
he is an authority.
His selection as mayor comes after
long and futile effort of the munich
pal assembly to agree upon a candi-
date chosen from the ranks of poll
ticians or ordinary civilians.

MADE FRANCE GREAT POWER
History Has Accorded Cardinal Richie
lieu High Place Among Eminent
Statesmen of the World.

Passing SthrOugh many vicissitudes,
afterward chief minister of state. the
real head of France in everything but
name, retained that position until his
death, September 5, 1912. The king
trusted him implicitly, though he never
liked him personally, and was always
FESTIVE under the mastery of the
great mind. Richelieu's policy was d.
rected toward a unified system of adj
ministratiOn in France, and In foreign
affairs his chief aim was to humble
the power of the Austrian and Span
ish Hapsburgs. He was instrumental
in bringing Gustayus Adolphus into
Germany, and during the last of the
Thirty Years. war France was an ac-
tive ally of the Protestant cause in
the field. A conspiracy headed by the
queen mother reached crisis in 1880,
when Richelieu almost gave up the
struggle. The king refused him an
audience, but the cardinal finally sue
ceeded in seeing him and convincing
the king that he (the cardinal) was
necessary to France, and irrevocably
fixing his ascendancy. The day be-
came known, from the discontinue of
the conspirators, as the day of Dupes.
BY succession of vigorous and effec-
tive measures, he succeeded in break
ing down the political power of the
great families of France and making
the king the absolute ruler.

FISH AFFECTED BY WARFARE
Explosion of Mines Off British Coast
Has Resulted in Great Diminution
of Catches, Is Report.

Wilfred Buzley, who is on the way
to his tea plantation in Assam, India,
said on his arrival in this city that the
frequent explosions of mines off the
British coast had caused a great search
ty of fish, according to New York
Times. This was especially the case
along the east coast of England and
Scotland, and had also affected the
coast of Holland. Herring, which for
merly were plentiful at this season of
the year off the coast of Scotland sell
ing at cent apiece retail, now bring
10 cents, he said, and were scarce.
Founders and cod, formerly eight to
ten cents pound, are now worth so
cents at retail. 1t was only at rare
intervals. Mr.. Buzley said, that the
poor were able to purchase fish.
''The only fish in British waters that
appeared to defy the mines and tor
pedoes," Mr.. Buzley continued, 'is
the hardy halibut. Just before 1 sailed
from England one of the steam trawl-
ers off the coast was about to haul
in the lines when the captain noticed
a giant halibut following close behind
a cod that was impaled on one Of the
hooks. The halibut made several at
tempts to swallow the cod and was
eventually hauled up onto the deck of
the trawler. The skipper told me that
the big fish weighed 1873 pounds. and
was sold in the market for $60."

1t by giving her two quarters. "Now

smiling.
A few minutes later her grandmoth-
er came into the room. The uncle,
eager to display the effect Of his ora
tory, ordered: 'Mary Ellen, show
grandma what you have"
Obediently Mary Ellen displayed her
two quarters. "Now, tell grandma
what you're going to buy with Them"
he smiled In anticipation Of the
answer. ~ "
But his smile didn't hold. In Mary
Ellen's sweetest tones came the in

TWO Ex-PREMIERs IN CABINET
Never Before Occurred Is Among
the Possibilities.

Herbert H. Asquith, former premier.
Is often mentioned as possible addif
ton TO the present cabinet. The Man
chester Guardian points out that if this
happens Lloyd George will have two
former prime ministers among his sub
ordinates. There is no former instance
of this state of things in modern his
tory, and 1t is long time now since an
English government contained in a
secondary place even one former pre-
mier.
The Il ssical case occurred about the
middle of last century, and is furnish
ed by the game of see-saw which was
played by Lord John Russell and Lord
Palmerston. In the government of
1862 Lord John Russell was prime
minister and Lord palmerston foreign
secretary, and in the government of
1895 their two positions were ex-
actly reversed.
1t was Lord John Russell's excep-
tional fate to be prime minister from
the age Of fifty-four till that of sixty,
to be in and out of subordinate Office,
under Lord Aberdeen and then under
Lord Palmerston, from sixty to seven
ty-three, and at that age to be prime
minister again.
If Lloyd George gets Mr.. Asquith as
well as Mr.. Balfour he will have all the
living former premiers except one, the
exception being Lord Rosebery, whose
period of office-15 months-was SO
short as to compare with the mete-
oric premiership of the age Of Can
ming.

WAGE WAR ON GRAssHoPPERS
California Authorities Devising Ways
and Means to Protect Agricultur-
al Lands From Pest.

County horticultural commissioners
throughout California have been asked
to forward information on the grass
hopper pest reported prevalent in a
number of districts, particularly in
northern California, to George III.
Hecke, state horticultural commits
sioner.
Fragmentary reports received at
Hecke's office have indicated that
large swarms of grasshoppers have
infested agricultural districts in SUIT
ter, Modoc Lassen, Butte and other
counties and have caused considerable
damage to crops.
One of the best methods of EXTERN
ination, an official said, is the spread
ing of poisoned bran mash, which the
hoppers devour quickly. Burning OF
the grass also is an effective means
necessitates the exercise of greatest
caution.
Narrowing, by which means the
eggs of the hoppers are brought to the
surface to be eaten by ants or Other
insects and flooding the ground also
are advocated to prevent Matching.

LAND BEAUTIFUL IN SUMMER
Wild Luxury of Siberian Verdure
Cannot Be Surpassed Even
in the Tropics.

Political eXiles, the severe winter

Nothing is unfairer than that.
It is most beautiful place, the par

elsewhere. In winter the groves of
white birches on the wide stretch
of pure snow lit by moonlight is a
scene most holy and sublime. And the

feet, the severest of winters can never
deprive of warmth. The River Selenga
that flows out of it never freezes and

An army motorcyelist at one Of the
training camps recently averted the
death of a young lieutenant by most
extraordinary feat of heroism, says
Popular Mechanics Magazine. Racing
at high speed across rough ground, he
drove his machine into a runaway
parachute that was dragging the Off
Ger to his death. The latter had made
a practice parachute jump Of 1900
feet from an observation balloon. A
high wind had carried him consider
able distance, and in landing he be-
came hopelessly entangled in the cord
age. The parachute was caught by a
strong air current and blown at terrific
speed acress the field, pulling it's help
less prisoner with it. At the same in
slant the cyclist, passing along near
by motor road, saw the officers plight.
He swerved his machine into the field
and raced at top speed squarely into
the middle of the belliod parachute.
The ropes fouled the machine and the
weight of the latter anchored the dere.
1ict against further movement.

BEDOUlNS AND THEIR HORSES
Nomads of the Desert Ride the Most
Beautiful Animals Ever Sub

Charles Doughty describes a meet

desert. These came near; they ap-
preached his party and proved to be
three long-haired Bedouins, wh bid
them salaam (peace). Then he tells Of
how "a fourth shock-haired cyclops
of the desert, whom the fleetness Of
their mares had outstripped, trotted
in after them, uncouthly seated upon
the rawbone, narrow withers of his
dromedary, without saddle, without
bride, and only as Il herdsman driving
with his voice and the camel-stick. His
fellows rode with naked legs and I'M
shod upon their beautiful mares bare
backs, the halter in one hand, and the
long balanced lance, wavering upon
the shoulder, in the other. We should
think them sprawling riders; for u
boast or warlike exercise, in the pres
ence of our armed company, they let
US view how fairly they could ride &
career and turn; striking back heels,
and seated low with pressed thighs,
they parted at hand gallop, made a
tourney or two easily upon the plain
and now wheeling wide, they betook

FLASH LIGHTS IN UNISON
FIrefiIes Seem to Have an Understand
ing as to When to Begin
an illumination.

Various observers testify to the fact
that myriads of glow worms very oc-
casionally indulge In synchronous fash
ing with very beautiful effect. II is
thought by some that this phenom-
enon is accidental, although in this
light some cases would seem incred-
ible.
John V. Purcell of Washington,
d. c., records that in the town of Co
tabato. island of Mindanao, P. l., a few
years ago there were two trees about
the size of apple trees and perhaps q
hundred yards apart. and every eve
ming these were flied with frefies
which flashed in unison, first one tree
lighting up and then the other. There
must have been several thousand In
sects In each tree. yet the synchronism
was so perfect that rarely or never
did a single FREELY flash at the wrong
time.
'To the best of my recollection the
illumination period lasted about two
or three seconds and the dark periods
perhaps twice that long. can posi-
lively vouch for the accuracy Of the
foregoing, for 1t seemed so strange and

NOW FISH IN INLAND WATERS
German Submarines Have Driven
Hardy Dutch Sailors From Their
Occupation in the North Sea.

In this day of the lurking submarine
the waters of the North sea are a
marked danger zone for the fisherman
of the Netherlands, and consequently
the rivers and inner seas of Holland
are thronged with brown-sailed fishing
smacks, all eagerly pursuing the elu-
sive herring, salmon, pike and carp.
Until the boats tanks or barrels are
filled the determined fisherman sticks
at his job. If good haul is soon
made he may steer the craft up some
canal to an inland town to market
his catch. He gets out the sign,
Fish for Sale," and fastens it to the
mast, draws the boat up to the canals
edge. and is soon besieged by house
wives anxious to inspect his wares.
The fish, as if conscious of their pend
ing fate, swim uneasily about in the
tank, while thrifty Dutch matrons
follow certain ones excitedly with a
forefnger, and the seller endeavors to
locate the desired fish in the swarm
ing tub.
of the good ships has made port after
hard days work, fishing village is
one of the most picturesque sights in
Holland. Sails patched or torn and
Tapping rise and fall In the harbor
with the motion of the waves. The
brawny Dutch fisherman, revived by
supper and the evening pipe, is curing
fish and exchanging stories with neigh
bors on the dock, while his wife sits
before her cottage mending nets, or
perhaps adjoining torn sail with a
vivid red patch.
There is little rest for these hard
working seamen and their wives. Fish
have long been to Holland what rice
is to China or the potato to America
With its food supply ebbing danger
ously low. Holland looks more than
ever to her fisher folk to feed the
people.
