American Pilgrims in Temple Cities.
 Many feet are now treading their way to the shrines in the temple cities of Japan" says the third of series of bull letins from the National Geographic socie- ty on the places which will be visited by members of congress on their trip to the Orient.
 Eager Americans will stroll along the shady streets of Nikllo to the tombs of the Shoguns and drink in the indescrib- ably beautiful scenery, their lips all the while murmuring the Japanese word kekko (beautifuD, which the Japanese say one never learns to pronounce until he has seen the city of Nilzko. In Tokio, called the Flowery Great Yedo, the capi- tai of the empire. they will see the i'm perial palace and the remains of the former glory of the Shoguns, a family of military governors who were the virtual rulers fo Japan for several centuries, and in Kyoto they will probably get a con- fused, hay idea of one or two of the 500 Buddhist temples and 80 Shinto shrines
 Perhaps, too, in the temples of Tokio bit of American pocket money will go to priest for writing a pretty prayer on a slip of paper which the visitor in true pilgrim fashion, will press to his fore head and to his breast and then fasten to the temple wall in order that it may be a

Patent Medicines.

Patent Medicines much extol1ed and frequently maligned, usually are not patent" sometimes are not medicinal, and certainly are not new, according to John A. Foote. NJ. D.. who writes to the National Geographic Society as fol- lows.
 "The patent-medicine business in Eng land, viewed as distant monopoly, re- ally took definite form during the reign of Queen Elizabeth. Both Elizabeth and James I abused this assumed arbitrary powers of granting monopolies of vari- ous sorts, until great discontent was produced amongst the people. The Statute of Monopolies. passed in 1924, regulated all such grants. placing author ity in the hands of Parliament. The period of duration was likewise limited to If years. In the beginning, speci- fications of methods or formulas were not required to file these specified tions. As secrecy was an important element in the success of nostrums, this ruling tend ed to discourage the patenting of medi- cines until in 1900 medicinal compounds were patented but rarely.
 Of course, the term patent medicine nowadays is a misnorner, as few of these preparations are patented The property right is protected by copyrighting the

MEETING MODERN DEMANDS

One of the important railroads which has been linked with the development of New England for many years is embark ed upon a campaign of improvement to meet modern transportation conditions for the handling of freight This is the Boston and Maine which is to bring into service on it's lines the big Sante Fe type of freight locomotives which were devel- oped to handle the heavy loads and grades of western railroad systems.
 In line with this important develop rent, one of the ~thi1Es which the load has had to look out for is the strength Of it's bridges of which 56 have been rebuilt or strengthened, the latest to be so improved being the bridge at Scotia, \. Y, over the tracks of the New York Central road. With this bridge able to bear the weight of .Le new locomotives, the Berkshire division. between East Dc, rfield and Ro terdar1 Jur3:ion. x. Y. is now ready for the operation of the new freight moguls
 The Boston and Maines new Sante Fcs, of which five of the order of 20 have al- ready been delivered, have a weight of 556,00O pounds, or about 20,0o0 pounds more than the government locomotives of the same type on the Boston and AL bany road. Expressed in terms of freight service, their addition to the equipment of the road will mean the ability to operate trains of about 3oo0 tons as against ITS tons with the present locomotives. In order to obtain the largest capacity fr9I its line t1e Boston and Maine is following out the lesson of experience that the heavy units Of power are an essential.
 This introduction of western railroad ing types in locomotives to New Eng land road marks an important historical advance step in the career of a famous public servant of Massachusetts and New England generally.

perpetual petition. But then when there are 3o.o00 defties to whom devout Japan csc write, few American pleas will scarcely clog the celestial postal service.
 There will be many native pilgrims on the way to the shrines. During the sum mer months, when the crops have been taken care of, the village folk, though they have the temples of their own patron deity and the fox god feel that they must send out a pilgrim or two to the sacred mountains and holy places of Japan to worship in behalf of those who cannot go, and so they provide fund for his ex- penses. Nor does the emHsary travel in state. Life for him loses most of it's com plexities. He is equipped with cheap white cotton shirt that can be easily washed, tight-ftting trousers and loose white cotton jacket which he tueks in with a girdle. He wears an enormous broad, stiff straw hat, and on his back he carries a piece of mating which serves him as an umbrella by day and as bed by night. He carries his luggage in two bundles, one on his back and the other in front, usually labeled with the name of the shrine he is to visit and somewhere about his person there is hung little bell which tinkles as he stumps along over the weary road from noun tain to mountain.
 'In Nikko, though he does not come especially to visit the tombs of the Sho- guns, he 1oafs and invites his soul within the shadow of the two great mausolea of the founder of the line and his grandson, the merciless enemy of Christianity, which stand on the, side o1 the mountain. Up, up, up he climbs through courtyard and garden, past one splendor after another, until he reaches the beautiful temple and the actual buria place of a line of rulers who usurped the sovereignty of the empire and held it fol almost three centuries, making the few years covering the glory of Napoleon and Cromwell insignificant indeed. When the pilgrim reaches the top of the mountain he prays. Then he smokes a. pipe or two and leisurely takes up his journey to the next shrine.
 ''In August the pilgrim rolls off his mat and the visitor from foreign lands climbs out of bed at the crack of dawn to hear the lotus flower bloom, for the buds burst with pleasing characteristic sound
 ''If Nikko is the most beautiful city in Japan, Kyoto can be called the mos interesting. Here the feminine visitor finds herself bewildered by the most ex quisitly wroght of all the exquisite potte ry, cloisome1 bronzes, fans and velvets After she has bought more than she car comfortably get home with, she will wan to see a bit of the Mikado's palace whict covers over twenty-five acres of ground and is surrounded by a great wall witt six gates, or journey out to see the largest lake in Japan, Lake Biwa, ant
