bronzes, screens and kakemono,
and last, but not by no means
least, in many of their delightful
Illustrated books.
Comic pictorial work probably
goes back in Japan to the first
immature sketches of her earlier
artists, and if the greater part Of
this work has been lost in the
serious religious art that followed,
there are still fragments that in

SECOND BIRTH FOR JAPANESE
Buri9 Of Nails, Teeth and Hair, and
Change of Name Made Official
Another Person.

The following item from the Japan
Advertiser reveals one of the inter
esting peculiarities of national ideas
and customs which continue to lend
variety and interest to world civiliza-
ton. "Burying themselves to escape
death. and then being born again by
the simple process of changing their
names. Baron and Baroness Ban held
full funeral services for themselves at
the Gyokurinsai temple in Nagoya
recently, erecting a fully engraved
tombstone over their nails, teeth and
hair. The baron now calls himself
Mr.. Kogogureno Otou.
"When Baron Ban was first born
he was far from healthy. and 40 years
was predicted as the extreme limit of
his life. However, he recently cele-
brated his sixty-sixth birthday, which
brought to his mind that his father
had died at that age. and that he
could probably best avoid his fate at
an early death by bowling to that date
and officially 'burying' as much of
himself as possible without interfer-
ing with any of the vital processes"

BANNER BLUE LAW CENTURY.
Seventeenth Saw Drastic Rules Made
for the Government of Manners
and Morals.

The Seventeenth century, according
TO historians, was the banner for blue
laws. Legislators We'd with one an
other 10 win either the pIaudlis of the
people or to provoke the wrath of
the mobs by thinking up new measures
Tor the statute books. One blue law

with some of the legislation rumored
to be contemplated in this country
Is interesting. This was In the form
of an ordinance In Swiss city, and
1t virtually put such stage folk as
jugglerss maskers, jumpers and such
like" out of business. They were pro-
hibited from plying their profession,
for the reason that they do things
which God did not intend the human
race to perform"
Gambling was frowned upon
throughout Europe during this pc
riod. but the blue laws did not seem
to make much of an impression. II
is to be also noted that prohibition
movement was alive in that period
Reformers were engaged at various
times in efforts to stop drinking at
taverns. In a little city In France
the dry wave did not gain much head
way, as the leaders turned to the al
tentative of reducing, or trying to re-
duce, drinking to a minimum on Sat
urday afternoons so that worshipers
might attend evening services with
full possession of their faculties.

He said further in the letter that

cured high values in platinum. AS
he selected the samples and made

NEVADA An OCEAN,;
PALMS IN alaska

Alaska was once a land of sun
shine and flowers. Ferns and palms,
such as now thrive in lands far to
the south, once fourished in the
sub-tropical climate of her valleys
and lowlands.
But that was millions of years
ago, before man existed, according
to the United States Geological Sur
vey, which has made a study of the
fossil fora. Deep down in the coal
beds have been found fossils of
plants which indicate that Alaska
was ages ago a land of luxurient
loneliness.
Dusky savages of remote past,
or perhaps members of that enlight-
ened race of cliff dwellers, once
looked across the waters of huge
lake in what is now northwestern
Nevada.
Rude fleets perhaps wended their
way in a primitive commerce across
the great inland sea, which once
spread over 8400 square miles, also
according to the survey.
Biologists have given the great
body of water, which was present in
Comparatively recent geologic
time" the name of Lake Lahontan,
in honor of Baron La Hontan, one
of the early explorers of the head
waters of the Mississippi river.
The deepest part of Lake Lahon-
tan, 500 feet, was the site OF the
present Pyramid lake, a small rem
nant, SO that its surface stood about
500 feet above the surface of Pyra-
mid lake.
A field of sand dunes, formed
since the inland sea disappeared
now cover a large area a few miles
north of Winnemucca. The dunes
are gradually moving eastward, and
their steady march has necessitated
number of changes in the roads in
recent years. In some places tele-
graph poles have been buried Sc
deep that they have had to be
spliced in order to keep the wires
above the crests of the sand dunes

WOULD CANCEL
ALL WAR DEBTS
WORD FROM LONDON ASSERTS
PREMIER HAS PLAN TO AID
ECONOMIC MATTERS

Some foreign diplomats in attend
ance at the arms conference have
received word which they interpret
as indicating that Premier Lloyd
George of Great Britain is preparing
to take the initiative in world eco
nomic matters, having become con-
vinced from the results of inquiries
made here that the American gov
eminent does not intend to call an
international economic meeting-at
least, not in the near future. His
plan, according to information, con-
templates cancellation Of all war
debts owing to Great Britain by
Italy, France, Belgium, Russia and
the smaller Balkan allies, amounting
with interest, to upward of two bill
lions sterling.
The premier, it is recalled, pro-
posed to President Wilson that all
interallied debts should be cancelled,
but his present design, according to
the understanding, does not include
renewal of that suggestion to the
United States. He was said to in
tend to annul the debts of the other
countries due Great Britain subject
to conditions, one, it is understood,
being that France by 1851 900, 900
francs. This is the amount France
borrowed of England during the
war, and is about as large a sum
as that loaned to France by the
United States, which was 1885,
100000 francs.
The idea of the British govern
ment acting independently of the
United States in the cancellation of
debts, according to foreign officials,
appears to have originated with
Austin Chamberlain when he was
chancellor of the exchequer. Mr..
Lloyd George is understood to have
been allowing the matter to rest
until the present, but the approach
ing crisis in the finance of several
countries, particularly Germany,
has led to the preparation of a
plan by Worthington Evans and
others which, it is expected by the
foreign diplomats, Lloyd George
would present to. an economic con-
ference, if one should be called on
his own initiative.

according to Kaeding. The build
