It drew the load easily, and there seemed to be no great effort when _ the load was increased to eight cars and . 978 tons and afterward to nine cars and 308 tons. Then the motor car ballast was increased to five tons, and the car easily pulled ten carloads of freight weighing 835 tous. Twelve carloads ing 400 tons were also handled without difficulty, but with 14 cars weighing 470 tons the train moved slow- ‘ly, as it was exerting a power equal to that of a 42 ton locomotive.

Fe has a soft and unctuous way of talking, and if he is not a shrewd worker in the cause of Ja- pan there is no such person in existence. If the present government holds togeth- er, he will have still greater advance- ment, a seat in the cabinet lwing his when the opportunity comes. This young man's career is a fine example of the field which opens before the youths of Japan, where a baton is curried in every soldier's knapsack and un impe- rial councilor’s star is in every school- room. He was born in Nagasaki in 1857, ‘the son of a Samurai retainer of the To- kugana dynasty. He :iowed great pro- ficiency as a schoolboy, especially in the study of the English language. Inci- dentally he learned teicgraphy, and for awhile he was a government Operator. In 1878 he was appointed interpreter to the prefectnral office of Hiog»d, where his diligence and ability attracted the | attention of Mr. Kanda Kohei, the pre- fect.

Indeed, trainers assert that it has more intelli- gence than any other animal, and that it is the only one that can he taught to mind by word «f mouth, without other cues. That it is endowed to a limited extent with reasoning powers is certain.
