SAGHALIEN: A LONG TIME
POLITICAL PERPLEXITY

The island of Saghalien, recently
subject of diplomatic correspondence
between the United States and japan,
has been political perplexity both
to Russia and Japan for many years.
Soon after the Pilgrim Fathers landed
on the east coast of North America,
Japanese feudal baron dispatched an
agent to this far northern island Of
the group that swings south from ST.
IBERIA, at the mouth of the Amur, to
Formosa and Fukien on the China
coast. Within twenty years after that
the Russians had landed on Sagha-
lien.
The japanese subsequently made
several trips of inspection but a small
handful of Russian colonists remained
and today the majority of the perma-
nent inhabitants of Saghalien are Rus
sian, while to the japanese it is lit
tie more than a summer fishing re-
sort.
In 1853 Russia sent an ambassador
to Nagaski and a band of troops to
Saghalien. While the ambassador
conducted negotiations the troops built
fortress but, after repeated attempts,
the boundary question was still un-
settled.
gBy 1875 the sea-going japanese gave
up all rights in Saghalien to the Rus
slams in return for full rights in the
Kurile islands and this condition of
affairs continued until the Treaty OF
Portsmouth which gave southern Sag
halien, up to the fiftieth parallel, to
japan.
japanese Saghalien has little agri'
cultural land but has large forests OF
both deciduous and evergreen trees
amounting to more than S,000,00(
acres. Japanese paper mills are sit
uated in Otomari and elsewhere and
an effort is being made to develop the
| papermaking industry.
But it is on fishing that the ma
| jority of the Japanese inhabitants de
| pend for living. AS soon as the sum
mer season is over the fishermen mi
CRATE to the southern islands of Japar
for the winter. Mauka, on the wes
coast of Saghalien, is the center o.
the crab fisheries and much Of thu
crab flake consumed in the Far Eas
comes from this little town. A pos
road connects Mauka with Toyohara
which is the capital of Karafuto. th'
name which the japanese have giveI
to the southern part of Saghalien.
Saghalien has less than sixty mile
of railway and white, red or blue line
are painted across the windows of tn,
cars to prevent the people from tryin;
to stick their heads through the glass
The average annual temperature o
Saghalien is near the freezing poin
and if the japanese are ever t
colonize the island they will have t
change their methods of dressing an,
building.
Karafuto has much coal and ther
is considerable gold, but in the pas
the Russian residents have largely cor
fined their efforts to farming and tn
japanese to fishing.
Saghalien has not been developed t
any great extent, but what natural dc
velopment has taken place has bee
done more by the Russian exiles who's
permanent homes were there than b
the Japanese whose fishing camps an
trading centers have dotted the shore
line.

Emperor Frederick II. of Sicily, H.
124O or 1241, published the first pure
food and drugs act. He was about 700
years ahead of DR.. Wiley, for he speci-
fed strict regulations of the standard
Of drug purity, and provided for drug
inspectors, and fined all offenders.
"The practice of medicine was also
regulated, A physician was required
to have diploma from a university
before he could study medicine; then
he took q three-year course in the
school of medicine and one year prac-
tice under practicing physician. Spe-
cial post graduate work in anatomy
was required if he was to do surgery.
"All this was in the so-called dark
ages. Even the fees of physicians
and pharmacists were strictly regulat-
ed by law and were in purchasing val
ue about the same as the charges of
the present day. Physicians were not
allowed to own drug stores and drug
adulterators were severely dealt with.
"Mithradatium was the name of the
great antidote of Roman pharmacy.
1t had from 40 to 30 vegetable ingredi-
ents, few of which had any real me-
dicinal value except opium, and these
drugs were blended with honey.
1T remained for Nero's physician
Andromachus, to put the finishing
touches to this wonderful compound
Andromachus added viper's flesh to the
formula and called his new compound
Theriaca. He wrote some verses dedi.
Gated to Nero, describing this medicine
and claiming virtues for it which in
our day would subject him to prosecu-
ton. Evidently he believed he had
created in this one compound a veri

MADRID, July 12.-The former
Empress Eugenie OF France died
here yesterday. She was the widow
Of Napoleon III.
The former Empress was III only q
few hours before her death. She was
exceptionally well Saturday morning.
At midday she lunched heartily, eat
ing chicken and some ham.
A short time later she became III,
experiencing severe abdominal pain.
DR.. Grenda, physician TO King Al
fonso, was called and, finding her
condition serious, summoned DIR. Mo-
rena Zancudo. a specialist, and also
two other physicians. They were,
however, unable to relieve the pa
tient.
Empress Eugenia seemed conscious
that death was approaching, and
those who stood by the bedside say
she appeared glad to die in Spain, her
native country.
Saturday afternoon when the condi-
tion of Eugenie became worse, all her
relatives still in Spain were notified.
The Duchess Sahtona with her hus-
band arrived. and then the Duke of
Penerando, Dowager Duchess Tan
ames and the Count and Countess
Mora.
During the night the Empress lost
consciousness. but before doing so re-
.ceived the last sacraments of the
church from a clergyman. Eugenie
died shortly before 8 o'clock Sunday
morning, never having regained con-
sciousness.
The body will be embalmed Monday
in preparation for its transportation
to England, where Eugenie win be
buried at Marlborough. The funeral
party will probably depart for Spain
Wednesday.
