BIGGEST STATUE IN THE WORLD,
We are now in the heart of Japan.
Kioto citv was for many cen tunes the
Mikado's'capital, ami until ten years
ngo, wheu the overthrow of the.Shoz
7i lett the capital of that ruler tie facto
open, its creatcr advantages led the
Mikado and his Cabinet to occupy it.
This old capital, at one time with a j
population said to have been 2,000,C0O, j
is now reduced to 150,000. I arose j
earlv, and was glad to fin! a clear j
morning. I walked out at a .side door j
of the inn, and found myself in one of j
the aturoache9 to a Shinto temple. I )
was almost under one of the granite
toiiii, or monuments. This one is
about sixty feet high, and four stone
lanterns at the coiners of the squaies
are of great size, and older than any I
have ylt seen. Just as the sun was
rising'abovc the eastern hill, I watched
the men and women as they came in
front of the open temple door ami pi;t
their offerings" in. Then clapping their
hands, they fold them, bow the head
in devotion, and go away to the duties
of the day. For a moment the temple
was deserted, and a man came out with
his face turned full to the rising sun
the temple faced the south; he went
through the sa;ne devotional exercises
that I had just seen, but he remained
longer, bowed with his head to the
ground, and exhibited more fervor.
We have visited several temples sit
uate 1 on the hilUides, on the east side
of the plain on which the city is spread
out. The oldest and largest is known
as the Chinin, and belongs to the Jo
ndo sect. It is very large, measuring
in its front over 200 feet. This sect
never paint their temples, and this one
preseuts a dieary aspect of weather
stained wood. Its age is given as 270
years only, ami it occupies the site of
nn older one destroyed by fire. Stone
eteps lead to the "hell tower, where
hangs the great bell, said to be the
largest in Japan. It is sounded only
on the 12th and 25th of each month.
It is suspended about seven feet above
the ground. The metal at its rim is
eleven inches in thickness. We saw
another bell in size little less near the
site of another temple, resting on
granite supports, on the ground, near
where it fell. The bridge leading to a
mountain temple is of great beauty.
It has two arches, and each arch
doubles one inverted under the other,
so that the passages form eiieles. The
whole, including the balustrade, is of
cut granite. In strong contrast with
their religious establishments is the
architeeluie cf the town. The streets
nre narrow- and unpavtd, the hou-es i
email and squalid, and poverty is
written everywhere.
We have just returned from a visit
to Naia, one of the old capitals of the
empire, distant about thirty-six miles
We drove at a biisk trot for an hour
before a break occurred in the line of
houses, when we crossed a branch of !
the Uji river, by a bridge about a j
thousand feet long. We entered a j
-T L. I I. J K II li'T '.v, . .iiuiio-
and years ago, a gi eat cit3. Away up
the slope ot the hill it is covered,
wherever we went, with walls and
pavements as indestructible as the hill j
Itself, (iranitc stairs lead into the
wild forest, which now covers the site
of vast tcmpksof wood broad avenues,
whose rock' pavement was worn
smooth by the feet of devout pilgrims
before Christ was born.
Here was erected, 1,200 years ago,
the largest bronze figure the world has
ever known. It weighs 450 tons, and
the third temple now covers it, with
out apparent injury to the immense
statue. We went around t, but could
form no estimate of its bizc. Our
Minister at Tokio told me that it was
sixty feet from the seat of lotus leaves
to the top ol its head, and that a man
could climb through the nostril. An
officer is said to have taken a chip of
the casting, and an analysis of it gave
500 poc.n Is of gold in tho alloy. A
great halo of gilded wood sets otf the
tlark featmes as they are revealed in
the shadows of the roof.
To-day we rode to Lake Ilcwa.
distant about seven miles, and our
route lay along the great Tokaido. j
The road is about twenty feet wide, i
well nncdamized, with the inevitable ',
walled ditch on either side. It is the j
givat th roughfare Irom Osaka to
Tnki , and fro.n the lake to Kioto it
was a continuous stream of travel, i
many cattl ', ami a few horse-, laden !
with cods ef every description. We
entered the town at the south end of j
the lake, and were taken to a flight of J
stone steps to climo to a temple that !
overlooked the lake. We ascended j
tluiii, found ourselves on the plateau j
excavated in the side of the mountain, j
mid turned to look upon the largest !
lake in Jap::n. It is sixty miles in j
length, but narrow Ht the south end. It
is surrounded by rich alluvial lands. I
Oiir.guldo next le'd us to sec a bell, !
whirh, he toll us, had not been rung;
in twelve hundred years, and pointed f
to a sni.11 woodm building at the j
head of a flight of wide stone steps, j
We looked in through wooden bars, j
well worn by curious visitors, and
saw suppoiti d cn a strong wooden j
table, a bell about four feet high, with !
a bad crack, which seemed to have i
been caused by fire. It had on it a :
few plain figures as ornaments. Our i
guide informc d us that it was seven-!
t en him lied years old. nd that it had i
hung in an ancient Shinto temple.that j
once stood w here it now lies. For
five hundred years its tones floated)
vei the placid lake, anil called the
people along its shores to worship. !
Then came a catastrophe, and twelve -centuries
have passed. Sun Francis- j

i measurable deserts of ocean, is the
! re f utre of myriads of sea-birds; every
I coast, from the poles to the equator,
j is covered with their legions, and far
from t lie land their swarms hover over
j the solitudes of the deep." The ptn
j gnins are perhaps, of ;.!1 others, the
j birds that most widely depart from
t he ordinary type of their class. Their
j wintrs are adapted exclusive for
j motion in water, and the' swim with
i such rapidity and perseverane-e, with
! the head alone out of water, that they
I frequently overtake fishes in fair pur-
suit. They live in the sea, and have
i been met with a thousand miles from
j the neare-st known land. The larger
i birds of this kind sometimes weitrh as
much as eighty pounds, and in their
stomachs have been found two pounds'
weight of pebbles and large stones,
swallowed, no doubt, to assist the
gizzard to pound up the food submittetl
to its action. The irigate bird, the
petrel, and the albatross, seem to range
through the air over the w hole extent
of ocean from coast to coast of the
Atlantic to the Pacific. The pelican,
also, and Cue cormorant, are far more
nearly dependent on water than land,
and strictly lelong to our present sub
ject. They arc all birds of powerful
j and rapid flight, feeding cn fishes, and
rarely seen far inland, though often
stretching to great distances across
wide expanses of sea. Thanks to
them, we have those accumulated
masses of guano which help to fertil
ize our lands. Some idea of the extent
of these masses may be obtained w hen
it is stated that, on the island of Iqui
que alone, upwards of six millions of
cubic feet of guano have been removed
within the last thirty years, while in
the year 154, not less than half a
million of tons were exported irom the
Chincha Islands.

Ortgin of the I'ayonf.t. The
bayonet is an arm peculiarly French.
It wa inveiiteil, it is eaiI, at IJayonne,
in 1C41, and em ployed in 1',70 in the
regiment of the King's Flickers. It
pensibly modified t he sjsteni of military-
an in Kumpc, as it made cavalry
les redunl dableto infantry, and caused
the fire of lines of battles to be regard
ed as tho principal means of action.
The bayonet has become the decisive
arm of combat. According to a local
tradition it was in a small hamlet in the
environs ot Bnyonne that this arm was
invented. What led to t he invention
ot it was. that, in a fierce combat
! between some IJasque peasants and
I some Spnni-di smugglers, the former
1 having exhausted their ammunition,
j fastened their lo:: knives to their
J muskets and by means of the weapon
! so formed put their enemies to flight,
j This arm rapidly came into general
j use in Europe. In 1C7S, at the time
I of the peace of.Nimegnen, ail the
i French grenadiers had the bayonet,
but the socket, which makes the u.se
of it so easy, was not invented until a
later period. Uayoneis at that time.
! were a sort of dagger, of which the I
j handle was placed in the muzzle of the
j musket, and of course prevented the
! musket from being fired. The first
. battle at which the bayonet was seri
; ouslv employed was that ot Turin, in
! Ifis2; but, it was m t until the battle
I of Spire-, in 1 T-i, that the fust charge
j of tho bayonet was executed. After
j that epoch, up to 1T1'2, the bayonet
was often employed in combat, but
j the iral value of it was not revealed
I until thewars of national independence,
( Then the bayonet really became a
I rench arm. Army and Xary Chronicle.
