rency; the money of account is stin the tael which passes from one emporium to another and finally into the creditor bank in standardized lumbs of bullion which vary according to locality. And as the silver dollars are often melted down as fast as they are coined, and as the im- portation of the white metal has been re- stricted for years, we have the crowning anomaly today of the chief state bank the Bank of China-unable to meet it's note issue in the capital and with its notes at 50 per cent discount whilst its branches at the commercial ports manage to maintain their issues at parity because their balances are daily replenished by trade operation and are not periodically raided by the army leaders.

 To photograph a bird the size of an English sparrow, my camera--a 3Ax4A Premo film -pack-is seldom more than two and half feet from the subject. At so short a distance the depth of focus is not more than half an inch. The sub ject therefore must light within that half inch; otherwise it will be out of focus and the photograph will be indistinct and will lack detail
 During the nesting season, from May to July, at Owego, Tioga county, New York, my home, the bird photographer S time is fully occupied. In favorable weather, from 10 o'clock in the morning until 4:3O in the afternoon he is busy photographing. Before and after those hours and in rainy weather he is search ing for new nests, moving his dummy cameras nearer to others upon which he expects soon to work, building platforms in trees, or borrowing ladders from farmers and carrying them uphill and down dale, through woods and swamps, sometimes for more than a mile.

By A. S. BROWNE.

Much has been written in the past four years of the origin of the name sKiwanis."
 Tt was in January, of 1915, that I called the first meeting of the present Kiwanis club in Detroit. This meet ing was held in the office of a MT. Eyster, an attorney, and was attended by Messrs. Eyster, Robertson, France, Hammer and myself. I placed before these men the project that has since developed into "Kiwanis;" they liked the idea and agreed to become memv bers. At this time Mir. France had paid in a check to cover his memb ership, the others had not An agreement was made that I should organize the club and was authorized to select name.

Ainu Festival of the Bear

The most important object of the Atnu chase is the bear. At a certain season of the year it is the ambition of the hunters of every village to capture wee bear cub. It Is taken home and treated with af- lection If, as is often the case, the little creature is too young to have been proper fy taken from its mother, it is turned over to the young women of the village, who suckle it at their breasts. A special pen made of logs is erected for the cub, and here it is reared, the pet of the entire will lage, until fairly grown. When the day of the feast comes the invited guests as- semble from all quarters; food and drink in plenty have been prepared. The signal given, the bear is led out from its wooden pen; it is tethered by rope to a post and everyone leases and irritateS the un- fortunate creature; it is set upon, struck, prodded, beaten. When the scene has be- come one of wild excitement and the tor mented creature snarls and turns and runs In every way to escape from his tor mentors, young men come forward with two poles, one of which is placed upon the ground. They then throw themselves upon the stunned creature. and seizing him by the legs place his head upon the pole in such a way that the lower jaw rests on it. The second pole is now laid across the back of the head, above. A group of the young men now throw themselves with all their weight upon the upper pole. The head of the animal caught between the two poles is subjected to the pressure of the whole mass of struggling humans. Leaning over the dying creature one of the old men strokes both sides of his head and prays, at the same time catching and inhaling the creatures dying breath. When the bear has breathed his last gasp-and he must be killed withoutathe shedding of blood the corpse with the bead is skinned, and tEe rest of the body is taken inside and prepared for cooking. The skin and head are now carefully laid out upon a hand some mat When the flesh is cooked a bowl of soup is first broughts out. This is offered with prayer to the skin and head of the animal. He is begged to take portion of the soup; he is reminded of the kindness which the village has shown him; he is begged to carry their petitions and regards to his parents and to send Mvor and prosperity to them in return for their respect, attention and kind treat ment. Pieces of the flesh of the animal are then brought out and offered to him. After these acts of prayer, thanksgiving and worship, the people themselves begin to feast. Abundance of millet beer has been provided in addition to the food and the celebration ends in Q scene of wild intoxication.
 Tho bear feast is really an interesting communion service. To kill the god, to eat his flesh and drink his blood is com monplace in many religions of lower cul- ture. The bear feast is the most startling ceremonial of the Ainu, but it is only one of considerable number of similar celebrations. Thus they capture and rear hawks and other birds of prey. eagle with kindness All ultimately are sac rficed with prayer and offerings, to se- cure from the creatures of their kind blessings and favor for the people.

Afghanistan at a Buffer State

From Indian Borderlands," by Sir Valen-
 tine Chirol, in Asia" Magazine.
 Britain herself sought no territorial az grandizements beyond the natural boun- daries of India, and her chief purpose was to preserve intact the two states, Af- ghanistan and Persia, which covered them where they were most vulnerable against land attack. The most tragic of the many blunders committed, often with the best intentions, was unquestionahfy tho first Afghan war of 1SH42 The fanatical Mohammedan tribes of the wild Afghan highlands were ready enough to fly at each others threats, but they sank their differences to fly at the throats of the British infidels who ventured to interfere in their affairs. For many years after wards the British refrained from plung- ing their hand again into that hornets nest and Anglo-Afghan relations were gradually restored to such tolerable footing that in 1869 the Amir Shere Ali himself paid a friendly visit to the Vice roy of India, and in return for an annual subsidy, pledged himself to have no deal ings with any other European power. But nine years later his reception of a Rus sian embassy and his acceptance of Rus sian protection, when the Russo Turkish war had strained our relations with Rus sia, were more than British patience could stand. After vain attempt to secure satisfaction by diplomatic means, British forces moved up into Afghanistan. His tory seemed to be repeating itself, for a British convoy was again treacherously murdered by Kabul But a second expe- dition not only broke the resistance of the Afghans, but indirectly paved the way for the accession to power of a strong Afghan ruler. The Amir Abdurrahman knew how to curb his unruly tribesmen and, with the growing menace of Russia pressing steadily up to the very banks of the Oxus, he came to realize the su- preme value of British friendship He died in 1901 and his son, Habibullah, who succeeded him, showed an equal apprecia- tion of British friendship in far more critical circumstances. For. during the great war, German agents were busy magnifying al Through Central Asia the triumph of German arms. and nowhere did the story of the Kaisers conversion. to Islam find readier credence than amongst the bellicose ~mollahs'' of Af- ghanistan. whose fanaticism was stirred to white heat by the proclamation at Constantinople of a holy war against the British infidels. Habibullah played diff hcult hand with great skill and never swerved from his loyalty to the British, who wisely asked nothing of him but the maintenance of friendly neutrality.

Burton showed me a copy of Bishop Braga's Lexicon of Indian words, informed me that it was pub lished in Montreal late in the eight eenth century and was, so far as he could learn, the only existing copy.
 We, together. started to search the work and finally settled on the phrase T trade" which we found translated into the Chippewa Indian, Nun Kee- wan-nis,' but owing to the cumber- some form thereof We decided to e1imi- nate the personal pronoun nun. and retain only the word 'Kee-wan-nis, !,

Further consideration prompted the change of the ''ee'' in the first syllable the, m in the last, as well as the dropipng of the hyphen between the sy1lables. From this we made the pres ent word 'Kiwanis," which I reported at a subsequent meeting of the De- troit members and which was adopted as our name.
 At the same time a resolution was passed, at my suggestion thanking MT. Burton for his aid and I was instructed to write him to this effect.
 The present emblem, the only one ever used by Kiwanis, designed about one week later while in the office of H. K. Darling, an architect and an early member of Kiwanis of Detroit

 For depending directly on revenue con- trol and currency is the whole question of the credit of the Chinese people, which is today in as sorry a position as all the rest China has virtually accepted as her money standard the silver dollar of the same weight and fineness as the Mexican dollar and the people are becoming accus- toned to it.

New Way to Photograph Birds From 'Photographing Birds by Elec-
 tricity," by J. Alden Loring, in the
 Scrbner.
 Some years ago I devised an electrical attachment for camera shutter by means of which could take a photograp<l from position as far away from the camera as 200 feet, the distance depending entirely upon the number of batteries and the length of wire used.
 The camera is first focused on the nest or perch upon which the bird is expected to light, the wires are carried back some distance-to a place of concealment, if the subject proves to be a timid one-and when the bird is in position the photo graph is taken by simply pressing the electrical button.
 Besides the camera, batteries, wires and push button, the rest of my outfit con sists of dummy cameras, one of which is placed near a nest or perch and from day to day is moved nearer and nearer, until the birds have lost their fear; then the real camera is substituted.
