In the New East (Tokio), of which W. ' Robertson Scott editor, there is given an entertaining list of things 'the Japanese do differently" from ourselves, For example Ladies sit with their hands folded paims-upward. Every lady shaves. Ladies never brush their hair; they only comb it. it is polite to make a noise with' the mouth when eating certain food.' (1 shows one appreciates the food. Ladies, however, rarely do so, as they are supposed to suppress their feelings. A bride calls on her neighbors and friends, instead of the neighbors and friends calling on her.

Number three is always luck: x- cepting in takuwan (pickled rs To offer a person three pieces would be rude. 2 We speak of pitting a thing on the fire to cook. The Japanese speak of | puting the fire through it ("hi wo osu') : A man never wishes his wife "good morning' first. She greets him and he replies, A woman never speaks of her husband as such; she | speaks of "'the house." The Japanese Farm. No one but a Japanese -farmer could raise enough rice to go around in a country where there are 58.- 000,000 people and only 25.000 square miles of farm lands. The | Goyernment is helping by experi- ments which have increased the yield i by one-third during the past twenty years. But.where a "farm" is two and a half acres and where an addi- tional acre costs $600, every inch { and every minute must be used. Even then one-third of the farmers' fami- ties have to add to their incomes by { stlk-raising. No wonder there is a | drift toward the city factories, espe- ! cially since the old order which gave the farmer social prestige is being | replaced - by one founded upon a fin- janet basis.

At that moment anxious eyes watched the sky toward the west. Would the airmen come with their bombs to do the deed that would finish the war? Would tk be in time? At 2.15 there wit peck in 'the blue sky. It grew bigger and bigger and soon the watchers distinguished three flying-machines. In haste Alois communicated with his friends, Bare- iy had those who were warned taken shelte\ when the.first explosion was heard, Then for a few minutes the town of Thielt shuddered as bomb after bomb exploded. But it was all in vain. There had been a sudden change in the Kaiser's schedule apd the war-lord had left Thielt at two sharp : us ended the attempt by--Alois- Van deirabilk to do away with the Kaiser, but it marked the beginning of troubles for the unfor- tunate Belgian. The commander of the Fourth German Army raged and roared. Such things must not be per- mitied to go unpunished, and he set about discovering the guilty parties in a Teutonic and thorough manner: A contra-spy system was osganized at once and large sums were promis- ed for any bit of information. Slowly but surely Alois was drawn into the net woven by a most minute and com- pleté investigation. On February 2 he was summoned to the komman- datur and taken prisoner. Already three of his co-operators were there. It was then that Alois Van Keirs- bilk showed the courage which won for him the name of "The Silent Hero." His last word to his friends who were still free had been, "Do not let my absence or death scare you; but keep up the work that we have been doing." After his ar- rest nothing could induce him 10 speak evén a word. He was condemned to death, and them the Grermans created and applied as devil- ish a scheme of mental torture for a human being #v could be devised. Alois had two children, and a third was fo he born soon. "On the day that new life enters your home your life will end unless you speak," said the German inguisi- tor. On April 5 a little girl was born in the Keirsbilk home. His end came next morning at haif- past five in the court uf the prison. Four Belgians were"to fail that day. When Van Keirsbilk arrived dt the place of execution, three were already lying dead against the wall. For some unknown reason he was to face the muzzle of {welve Germans alone.

The edge of the cat- ract so far uncovered begins at the eastern abutment of {the new N gar Catharines and Toronto Railway Bridge and runs in a south- westerly direction for a distance of about 400 feet. This, being the end of the excavating, does not permit further exploration. The first fall is in the form of steps for a distance of 30 feet, with a total drop of 25 feet. The depth of the next fall cannot be determined as yet, but the excavating shows what is likely a perpendicular fall for an unknown distance. The fastern abutment has been built on the edge of the steps a depth of 15 feet, while the centre abutment, just 75 feet away, went 10 a depth of :75 before gtriking rock, which was found tb be in a sloping position, The discovery is about half a mile back from the Niagara escarpment, and is believed to have worn back as the Niagara did from Queenston. Below the escarpment, and now absorbed in the new waterway, was a deep valley known. as the Eight Mile -Creek, and running in an irre- gular direction to Lake Ontario. This may have been the outlet for the big waterfall. Altogether It gives the appearance of an immense river which connected Lake Erie and Lake | Ontayio some thousands of years ago; the exact age of which is unknown, but histories and geographies speak of only one, the Niagara. have of been a Niagara Thorold by _ Robert son, on 3 of has at and on some to St Piping Over the Side. When the Hun Admiral Meurer came aboard Admiral Beatty's flag- ship to arrange for handing over the German ships to be interned he was "piped 'over the side" by the Queen Elizabeth's boatswain. This curious custom is a survival of the old days of sailing ships when officers holding flag rank, instead of having to clamber up tha rickety rope ladder, dependent from the ves- vel's side, were hoisted on board in a '"'bosun"s chair." In those primitive times the boats- wain took up his position by the rail where he could see over the side, and by means of his "pipe" gave the sig- nal to the sailors to hayl away as soon as the great man was comfort- ably seated in his "chair." Nowadays, of course, gangways are fitted to all men-of-war. Nevertheless the old custom is still kept up, the various whisile signals "hoist away 'high enough," "lower away," and so forth, being played by' the boatswain upon his pipe. Saffragettes of Nippon.

Canals In Finlamd. Besides the. railways, the canals are very important for commiunica- tion in Finland, especially the Siama | Canal, which is equipped with 28 siuices and has a length of 8 kilo- meters. This canal connects the big lake system of Saima and the sea, The total value of the canals is esti. mated at 100,000.000 marks.
