To England tne payment of legislators and the separation of church from etato would seem revolutionary. Hut democrats have gone much farther. In Australia, Indeed, they have abol ished plural voting, nnd have freely given the suffrage to all women. They have established graduated in come and progressive land taxes. Their great land difliculty being met by such heroic means as the compul sory repurchase of large estates for closer settlement, and by state loans on larm mortgnes. The referendum has been used to decide the greatest question that has yet arisen in Aus tralian history. Laws have been pann ed for the minimum wage, the eight hour day, early closing of shops, day labor on government contracts, and the Inspection of factories, shops, nnd mines. Old-age pensions liav:; ben established in three of the colonies, and the commonwealth parliament li bent on a federal scheme. The exclu sion of alien and undesirable Immi grants Is enforced so rigidly that even" British workmen who coma under con tract are turned back; the S.mth h'.'.l Islanders who have been worlii'ig f.)r years In the Queensland sugar lid.

Some of these advanced measure! have been hastened; yet socialism here Is not merely an after-growth of democracy. From the beginning the Australian governments have owned md operated their railways, tele,- 1 ,1 aphs, and telephones. In some I ;ascs, also, they have kept In their j o'.vn hands the street railways and j electric lighting. All the colonies J have government savings banks. In New Zealand there Is government In surance against botli Are and death. And now the government has under taken to protect the community against strikes and lockouts, much as yen protect yourselves against murder and highway robbery. When, volun tary conciliation failed, as it has fail- j ed In Massachusetts and everywhere j else, the practical reformers of New ; Zealand and Australia did not fear to enforce compulsory arbitration. Asphalt Laid in Slabs. A new system of laying asphalt roads Is being adopted In Ixindon. In stead of paving the road with one homogeneous mass of the material, which means the closing of the thor oughfare for a prolonged period, the asphalt Is laid in slabs, in the same ! manner as paving stones, says the Scientific American. The asphalt slabs are previously hardened, so that all It Is necessary to do Is to lay them down on the prepared foundation and cement them into position with tar. By this system a road can be reopen ed for traffic as rapidly as it is pav ed, while a further distinct advantage Is obtained as, owing to the use of tar at the joints, the surface of the road way is less slippery than in the case of large, unbroken stretches of as phalt paving. The Tools of Genius. Some of the greatest discoveries in physics and chemistry have been made with the simplest forms of ap paratus and under the most modest conditions of laboratory equipment. One need only recall the achievements of the famous John Dalton, and In later time of Sir Gabriel Stokes, to il lustrate the point. As regards the latter, a comment of Lord Rayleigh Is of interest. Stokes's experimental work, he says, was executed with the most modest appliances. Many of his discoveries were made in a narrow passage behind the pantry of his house. Into the window of which he bad a shutter fixed with a slit In it and a bracket on which to place crystals and prisms. London Tele graph. Gentlewomen Economical. American wives of British peers are usually considered to be as extrava gant as they are rich. This Is far from being the case. Lady Curzon cannot tolerate needless waste. ,Tho young Duchess of Marlborough is an other careful housekeeper, and every morning goes through the state's ac counts and checks them. She is bald to have a thorough knowledge of bookkeeping. Czar's Relatives. The twenty-three noarest male rel atives of the czar each receive a sal ary of $400,000 a year from the gov ernment. They own together about 5,000 square miles of land and 325 palaces. They employ about 20,000 servants. FISHING THROUGH THE ICS Spearing Muscallonge on Chautauqua Lake Pleasant Sport. Up to and Including 1902 fishermen were permitted to spear muscallonge through the ice on Monday and Thurs day of each week for five consecutlvo weeks, beginning on the first Monday In February. During this Bcasoa the lake presented a busy appearance, as fiahermen came from not only the im mediate vicinity, but from Pennsyl vania and Ohio. For this method of fishing each man is supplied with a "tish coop" and a spear. The "coops" are huts about four feet pqnaro and from 3 to 44 feet in height with a pair of wide runners underneath, and built perfectly tight in order to ex clude every ray of light. Within la a small sheet iron stove, burning wood or charcoal, to furnish warmth for the fisherman. Opposite the stove Is a seat, with only a narrow margin of floor around the Inside of the hut for the feet to rest upon. The hole In the bottom of the "coop" Is about three feet across and, when the "crop" Is In place, Is Immediately nbovo a somewhat larger hole which has been cut In the Ice. The spear used in taking the fish has five or seven tines and a short handle, to which Is attached a stout cord, and hangs half Its length down Into the wnter, secured by a catch on the floor of the "coop." The fisherman sits down with one foot on either side of tho house and places a weighted wooden minnow about six or olgnt Inches below the Ice. Sometimes he does not have long to wait for a muscallonge to ap pear, but again there may be no signs of one during the whole day. When a fish does appear It generally ap proaches the decoy slowly and careful ly. The fisherman grasps the spear and quietly poises It directly over the fish, which, as there is no light in j tho hut, is unable to see its danger. ! Tt is Inhis endeavor to plant the spear a little bnck of the head, thus break ing the backbone and killing the flsh almost Instantly. He then carefully brings to the surface, secures it on the spear by means of a gaff hook, lifts it from the water, and throws it through tho door of the "coop" upon the ice outside. As soon as the day's fishing Is done, the "coop" must be re moved to the shore, to remain until the next legal day for spearing. Owing to the strenuous objections made by sportsmen and others, the legislature of 1003 amended the law so that the practice Is now permitted only on Thursday of each week during the month of February. Revival of the English Inn. While some reformers are bent on ending tho public house, others are busy at mending it. We need not de cide for both; in many places there are too many public houses, and of those that would in any case remain, many might well be bettered. T.io annual report of the Public House Trust shows that substantial progress ' Is being made In this direction. The ! principal aim of the trust is the reviv al of the inn as a place of all-round refreshment, and its extinction as a mere drinking bar. "The man who asks for bovrll gets the same smile as the man who asks for beer:" that is the advertisement nnd the motto. Lord Grey's movement Is a most hope ful one; it takes for granted that men will not be deprived of their beer; but It offers every inducement to the consumption of other cups than those which inebriate, and of eatables as well as drinkables, and it provides decent, wholesome, cheerful surround ings. The movement Is peculiarly opportune In rural districts. It comes at a time when there is a considerable revival In tho wayside inn as a place of necessary refreshment. Hostelrles which seemed to have been killed by the railways are coming to life, thanks to the bicycle and the motor. At a time when so many people are thus taking to the road again, It Is very appropriate that an effort should be made to Improve the roadside Inn. London Chronicle. California Salt Farm. One of the strangest of farms in the country, if not in the whole world, is situated in Southern California, 205 feet below the level of the sea. The place Is known as Salton. It is a salt farm of about 1,000 acres. Here the salt lies, as deposited by nature, from six Inches to sixteen inches In depth. The salt farmers are busy harvesting this crop the year round; and, though tho harvest has continued for twenty years, during which time more than 40,000 tons of salt have been harvested, only ten of the 1,000 acres of the farm have been touched. The salt Is first plowed up Into furrows; it Is then thrown Into con ical piles by men with barrows, after which it is taken to the reduction works near by and put into market able condition. The work is done by Mexicans and Chinamen, the Intense beat being more than the white man can endure. Chicago Journal. Leeward of a Ship. South End The leeward side of a ship is the opposite to that on which the wind blows when It crosses her course, and which Is termed the weather side. Leeward Is on the lee side; opposed to windward, on the weather side. A lee shore Is a shore on the lee side of the ship, or the shore on which the wind blows; and a ship Is said to be under the loo of the shore when the wind blows from the shore, or when she is In some measure sheltered by the shore. The nameB Leeward and Windward, as ap plied to the West India Islands, wero given to them from their situation In a voyage from the ports of Spain to Carthagena of Portobello. The Islands which lie to leeward extend from Porto Rico to Demarara. HIM IX Wire Entanglements, Man in Armor and the Star Shell. RUSS AND INGENIOUS JAPS Japanese Were Not Accustomed to the Searchlights and Were Confuted and Blinded by Them Realized Their Safety Lay In Getting Back to Camp. Among the many contrivances which contributed to make Port Ar thur what it was, nothing exceeded in importance the Russian use of wire entanglements, writes B. W. Norre gaard, war correspondent of the Lon don Dally Mail. The single or double rows of these entanglements were the strongest passive defenses of the forts, and tho Japanese tried many devices to cut their way through. At first they thought to succeed simply with shears, of vhich they had brought 50,000 with them, but the wire was too strong. The commonest way was for the soldiers to creep up after dark, lie on their backs, and then try to cut the wires with their shears. For a time another expedient was more successful. A man would crawl up during the night and fix ropes to the tops of some of the poles, and then wriggle back agnln with the ends of the ropes to the nearest trenches, where bis comrades would tug, with an "lchl, nl, san," till the whole ar rangement came down bodily. Hut the Russians soon found out what was happening, and the next time the Japanese tried tho same game they found that the poles had been wire-braced and withstood all their efforts. Of course, the shell fire destroyed much of the wire fences, but tho Jap anese had another way of destroying them by powder. They took long bamboo polos and filled them with black, strong, smoke-giving powder. Then a man crept up, placed the pole under the entanglements, lit a fuse, and so blasted part of tho wire. Sometimes the men would ,as a last desperate resort, walk up In broad daylight I have seen It myself before an attack protected by one of their big shields, and quietly set to work to cut the wire right In front of the de fenders. The shields are mado of two one-quarter inch Iron plates welded to gether, and weigh about forty pounds. One slit at the top Is for the eyes and the bottom slit it where the man works his shears. The shield renches to his knees and Is Blung from his shoulders. He can only walk very slowly, and I do not think he would have much of a chance in a race with a tortoise. The first man who was sent out was met by a number of rifle shots, which hit him right in the chest; the bul lets did not penetrate the shield, but the impact, which possessed the foreo of a sledgehammer blow, knocked hl:n clean over. He was not hurt ,but got on his feet again, and the Impact of the bullets made him stop and stag ger, before he reached tho entangle- , ments. ! Of the active means of defense tho Russian searciiiights and machine- j guns came in the front rank. They ut terly blinded and confused the Jap anese. ' At one moment the powerful light was glaring full in their faces, ' at the next it was suddenly turned off, . leaving them In complete and baffling ' darkness. I Then suddenly another light, cf ! which tho Russians had nine, threw j the Japanese Into the fullest relief. Instantly a tremendous fire was I opened up on them from rifles, and j especially, from machine guns, which, at this range, played havoc with them on the coverless plain. They could see nothing, they could do nothing; death was among them, and they knew nnt how tn pvndn It thev wpr tilind and helpless, and did not know where J they were or where the enemy was. Everything got mixed up for them. Even the bravest among them recog nized that. there was only one thing to do get away, away from the slaughter, away from the cruel light, back to their own camps, back to tho night and the darkness. A Japanese machine gun attempted Tftpnvor thft TAlrnnt A atai uhnll ! instantly detected it, whereupon a searchlight was turned upon it and the Russian qulckflrers went up and commenced their "pom-pom-pom" against It and put It out of action at once. It was no use; the attack was hopelessly broken. The Japanese fore the siege were not accustomed to the searchlights.' As one of their of. fleers said to me, gloomily, after the. reverse: "They are the most deadly weapons we have to face." At times we could hear a faint swish in the air when a star shell was fired. A thin, scarcely perceptible curved line of sparks mounting sky ward, a rain of white phosphorus stars sinking slowly, slowly through the dark, a glory of light, a dream of beauty, and an excellent means of illuminating, for a few moments, the underlying country, In a way that no ten searchlights can do It, bocausa the light, of an Immense Intensity, comes from right above, so that there are no deep shadows; everything la laid bare, not a man can move or live under tho circle of light without be ing discovered. . i The ink plant of New Granada Is a curiosity.

The continued fall In the birth and marriage rate in London, combined with the terribly high rate of Infant mortality, is viewed with the greatest concern In religious and scientific cir cles. The Rev. W. Carllle, head of the Church Army said that a declin ing birth rate was one of the surest signs of national decay. "Love of ease and luxury among the upper classes," he continued, "are mainly responsible for this terrible state of affairs. The refusal of moth ers to neeppt the responsibility of motherhood is, in my opinion, nothing less than child murder. Tho moral standard In this respect Is much higher among the lower than among the upper classes. For in stance, while the birth rate was 37.6 per 1,000 In Stepney, 35.7 in Bethnal Green and 34.5 In Poplar, all poor districts, in rich Kensington It was only 20, in wealthy Hampstead 17.1, and in Westminster lowest of all, 1C.9. "I weep to think of It. London is becoming another Herculaneum, an other Pompeii. If we do not mend our ways our fate will be none the less terible. "History has proved over and over again that when the birth-rate falls the whole prosperity of the country suffers. Take France, for instance. Her 'stagnant population has brought defeat in war, increased criminality, and n lessening of virtue and strength. In Italy, on the other hand, where the population is steadily Increasing, the country Is progressing by leaps and bounds." Sir James Crlchton Browne nlso blames the mothers of Britain for the declining birth-rate and the heavy in fant mortality. He has declared these facts to be due to an lucreased disin clination on the part of mothers to nurse their own offspring. "The extent to which mothers shirk their responsibilities is lamentable," he said. "Seduced by the siren calls of fashion and frivolity, these women evade their duty to the loss of their offspring." The Bishop of Ripon declares that much more terrible than those irreg ular alliances which the church had not sanctioned were "those terrible fashionable marriages where the du ties of life are shirked, and whore marriage Is made a mockery. This Is a question affecting society as a whole, for the birth-rate of almost every European nation Is declining." The Bishop of London expressed hlsij firm belief that married life properly lived is the happiest form of exist ence. The Man Who Rules Japan. The emperor of Japan is the sun of all authority. Everything in Dal Nip pon shines by his light. In the Jap anese conception of history he is the living representative of the gods who made Everlasting Great Japan. Whether It were court nobles of Im memorial lineage, beads of military clans, mediaeval governors who gov erned in the Mikado's name, or the all-powerful Shogun at Kamakura or Yedo, they did but shine by borrowed light. Even the constitution of 1889, which made government representa tive and progressive, was a whole the ory of administration Is that the son of heaven Is the source of all auth ority, and that prosperity to the na tion coir.es from his divine ancestors through him. The most serious ques tioi which Japanese patriots have to answer, and the most weighty prob lems they have to solve, center in this how to reconcile this ancient theory with the claims of civilization and of Christianity. Harper's Week ly. Cotton In England. American cotton ttiinkers, with memories still busy with the recent uproar in our cotton mart, will prob ably read with Interest of the discus sion in the bouse of commons recent ly on cotton-growing in the British empire, In which both sides showed a commendablo zeal. Mr. Emmott, speaking on behalf of the British Cot ton Growing association, thanked the government for the assistance they had given, and pointed out that the only barrier to making British Central African territories a great cotton producing region lay in the labor question. Mr. Lyttelton, in an Inter esting speech, summarized the F'eps which have been taken in this work throughout the empire. Egypt, thanks to Lord Cromer, sends a good supply, and there is every reason to believe that cotton growing may be established in the Soudan. Experi ments are being made in Rhodesia and other parts of South Africa, but the west coast of Africa Is the chief cen ter of promise. It has been arranged that the Cotton Growing association shall contribute 30,000 a year for the work, and that Southern Nigeria, Sier ra Leone, and Lagos shall provide 6.500 for three years. No better work in the cause of Imperialism could be undertaken, for on its suc cess dependB the future of some of Britain's chief tropical possessions.- Boston Transcript. An American Buddha? The Buddhists of Tibet and other outlandish places think that their god's second coming will be from Europe to America, says a Buddhist student. "They think this because, in all their old images of Buddha reincar nated, he Bits, not on the floor, but In our modern occidental way upon a chair. When they found that Euro peans sat on straight chairs they came to believe firmly that from America or Europe their reincarnated Buddha would come." HP Of Hi DilTerences in Products a Mat ter of Careful Preparation. FEW VARIETIES OF PLANT Utmost Skill Required In Conducting the Withering, Drying, Coloring and Perfuming Process No Ma chinery In This Industry Best Teas Prepared by Oldest Workers. Tea growing is one field of agri culture where modern machinery has no place. It is essentially an Indus- 1 try where everything must bo done by hand. The only place where im proved agricultural implements could bo used Is in the plowing, but as tea Is grown mostly on rough and rocky hillsides, nothing but the simplest implements can be used. The variety of tea depends on Its preparation, its age when gathered, or upon foreign plants and (lowers mix ed with It to give fragrance. Yorng Hyson, Hyson and Hyson skin teas all , grow on tho same plants, yet there I Is as much difference between Hyson and Hyson sklu as there Is between the finest silk and the coarsest hemp. ' Americans and most Europeans drink tea that would not be tolerated by people of wealth and rank In China j and Japan. The distinctive quality of a tea . comes largely from methods that are used to ierfiime It. In some teas, richly perfumed flowers are mixed with tea leaves all through the dry- , lng and fermenting process to give it a sweet fragrance. I'ouchong tea, which Is Immensely popular with many eplcfires. Is nothing but a scent ed Oolong. Four different varlctleo offlowers aro used in giving it the fragrant odor that has made It so pop ular. Every little tea leaf is gather ed by hand, the leaves are carefully assorted and much painstaking labor Is applied to every pound of tea that comes to the market. The plants at maturity reach a height of from 1 foot three Inches to 3 feet, according to variety. There are eight varieties cultivated in For mosa. In that Japanese Island tea culturo was unknown until about a century ago, when It wa introduced from China, Formosa then . being a Chinese possession. In appearance a tea plant is more like tho rosemary of our old-fashioned gardens than any other familiar plant. It is also much like the sage. Tho plants are consid ered old enough to yield leaves In the fourth year after transplanting. After they are thirteen years old they are pruned carefully for three years. The leaves are gathered during soven months of the year, from April until November. Only the young ter minal leaves are taken, nipped by hand, three or four at a time, with the greatest care. The tea is known as "winter tea," "autumn tea' "sum mer tea," or "spring tea," according to tho season in which the leaves- are gathered. Tea plantations vary in size from a very few square yards to 120 square miles. About 1,000 pounds of green leaves Is the usual yield per acre. These leaves when dried make about 250 pounds of tea ready for the pot. Oolong tea is placed on a canvas mat and exposed to dry In the sun direct ly after gathering. This is the first withering. After a short time in the sun they undergo another withering process In bamboo trays placed in a room. After this they are poured In to vessels called kamwo, the leaves are subjected to a third and last softening before being heated in pans. This softening is Intended to per fume the tea by the slight fermenta tion which is engendered. This seems a simple process, but it requires the greatest skill. Tea is made good or bad according to the skill used. There are two stages of the pan-heating which follows the last withering. Up on leaving the heated pans, the tea Is dried in three stages over a carefully regulated fire. The color of the tea depends upon the process used in withering and drying. The utmost skill has to be used in all the stages of preparation. Tea workers of tho fields are not necessarily skilled In their tasks, but In tho process of drying, coloring and perfuming it requires a man who has had yearB of experience. The best teas are prepared by men who have grown old at their work. Brains of Men and Apes. According to tho examinations of tho brains of Europeans that have been made by anatomists, one of tho mobt important physical differences between men and apes and monkeys has been the absence of the so-called simian fold in tho human brain. This simian fold, or sulcus, which occurs on the posterior portion of the main hemispheres, has recently been dis covered by Prof. G. Elliot Smith, of the Egyptian Government School of Medicine, In the course of an exam ination of a number of brains of Egyp thins and Soudanese. He has found that in certain examples of bralnB In bis collection the characteristic folds found in anthropoid apos are bo close ly reproduced that he Is able to and clearly establish the identity of every sulcus or assure. Prof. Smith has also succeeded in finding human brains where the occipital pattern corresponds closely with the brain of the gorilla. As these points of ldentltv imio.no. man and bis nearest relations have not previously been encountered by European scientists in their brain studies their lmnortanen rn h allzed, as they do away with one of me supposed and hitherto recognized structural distinctions. Harper's Weekly, ENGLAND AND OUR NAVY. Recognizes We Are Equipped to Pro tect Interest In Atlantlo and Paclflo No greater compliment has ever been paid to any nation than that which was conveyed by Groat Britain to the United States. With the tradi tions of three hundred years of naval power and the consciousness of hav ing been the world's police force for at least a hundred years, Great Brit ain made a public recognition of the fact that the navy of the United States has come to bo capable of car rying on the work in tho Western Hemisphere which Is tho function of naval power. This recognition came In tho form of a redlspositlon of the naval forces of the British empire, which will, when fully carried out, practically abandon the naval work in this hem isphere to the vessels of the Unltod States. The fleet which has been maintained In West-Indian nnd North Atlantic waters since the days of Eng lish colonization on this side of the Atlnntlc is to be withdrawn and mads a part of tho main defences of the British Isles. Tho real reason for the chango Is that with the additions which have been made to the navy of the United States since the Spanish-American war, this country Is, probably for the first timo In Its history, able effective ly to police Atlantic and Pacific wat ers adjacent to North and South America, nnd for the first time the presence of the warships of other na tions Is not necessary In any part of this wide flung commerce line to maintain tho international order for which the ships of Grcnt. Britain have stood fcr so ninny years. Harper's Weekly. Cremation In England. The slow progress that is being made by cremation in this country must be disappointing to Its advocates as wi ll as surprising to the student of human affairs. Twenty years aso the pioneers of cremation naturally met with a good deal of opposition, for we alter our ideas on the subject of "pomp of death" a good deal more slowly than on the mere question of how to live. Hut it was reasonable to expect that lit two decades sentiment would have capitulated to reason to a greater extent thaji has been the) case. I'nfortnnately, as we think, thai law courts early stepped In and btere otyped that sentiment before it had had time to steady Itself. Dr. Trist ram decided In 189-1 that unless ex plicit instructions had boon left In tho will an executor Is not compe tent to cremate bis testator. The) ground of his decision was ono that already reads strangely, viz., that ev ery one is entitled to Christian burial, and that cremation Is not Christian burial. Thus It Is that only those en thusiasts for hygiene who make the stipulation themselves come to he cre mated. London News. To Make Japanese Taller. Tho Japanese government has been greatly exercised In its mind over the low. stature of tho soldiers, and it ap pointed a commission to study the causes of this luck of heluht. and ta uuggest a remedy. The commission Has published it3 report, and it as cribes the shortness of the Japanese to the habit of sitting on tho heels in stead of on a chair. This attitude, It holds, had prevented the legs of the Japanese from growinc. and It sug gests that the children should for the future be made to sit in the European fashion. This Is a matter in which the query "Why can't you leave It alone?" applies with much force. The legs of the Japanese may be short, but they are uncommonly sturdy, and aro capable of great feats in march ing. Moreover, it should be remem bered that a short soldier hears many bullets whistle harmlessly overhead which would kill a taller man. In these days of magazine rifles there ia little advantage In height, so It la just as well for Japan that It will cer tainly take many generations of sit ting on chairs to make the Japanese a taller race. Camphor Wood as Road Paving. An experiment is to be made In London to ascertain the wearing and durability of camphor wood for road paving. A section of the Buckingham palace road for a distance of 450 feet Is to be paved with this wood. If within four years the new material proves unsatisfactory it Is to be re placed by creosoted deal blocks. The experiment Is entirely new, for cam phor wood has never been used before ( fore this purpose. The wood comei from East India and Is of a rich brown color and close grained. Trials aro nl.so being mado with various oth er woods for this selfsame purpose. Health in the Midst of Disease. So certain Is the victory of modem nclence thut, in spite of the fact that consumption ia contagious, when one knows jiist wherein lies the danger, and takes precautions, one may nurse consumptives year after year and still be safer than in any other employ. In a Chicago hospital, devoted to con sumptives, aftor two years of occu pancy by an average of 100 patients. It was impossible to collect from the dust of wards enough tuborcule germs to start a growth of them In the brotn or the Jelly in which they live and multiply outside the human organium. No question In the world that con sumptives living carelessly and sepa rately in the finest climate in the world will make that place a plague spot; no question in the world that regular sanatoria enormously dimin ish the death rate from consumption in the neighborhood around them. Why? Because they demonstrate how the disease can be avoided. They teach the lesson of bow to live everybody.
