,Japan's Cour$e in Korea
The fiction of indepencicnce was not
saulsgactory or profitable to the Kor-
eans.. At the same time it greatly
hampered the Japanese in their -efe
forts to bring the country abreast
of modern times. The-I•bief point of
concern to foreign nations in the
formal annexation is the malice of
ex -territoriality. lIerrafti•r Japan
will control the Korean courts. She
will guarantee that justice will he
done in them, and will probably re-
quire the •Westrrn power to surrender
the eights they have held for years,
to have their nationals tried in.
Korea by their own consuls. .11.1 -
though the net of anexation has
been criticized by the press of Russia
and other continental European coun-
tries, ft is diffieult to •see boa- Jap-
an, placed as she is, could pursue
any different course. The govern-
mcnt at Toyko Lited in Korea much
the' same problem as that which fac-
ed the government of the United
States after our occupation of the
Philippines. She might have abandon-
ed Korea with the certainty of chaos
following. She might have surrender -
td it to another power. Ori might
extend over Korea her complete rule.
She took this way as. did our own
government in the Philippinos. Japan

ORDER OF "WAR CHIEF"
„-
CANADA HAS KNIGHTHOOD
THAT 10 UNIQUE.
Many Notable Men Have Proudly
Worn the Distinction ot 'Having
Been Made Chiefs of the Six Na-
tions Indians, Inclu..ing King Ed-
ward, King Gorge, the Duke of
Connaught and Others.
A few weeks ago Sir Henry Pellatt
was made a chief of the Six Nations:
at the Q.O.R. reunio0 and pageant.
More recently the honor Was con -
on Count de Lesseps, the der-
ing French aviator.
Apart from the picturesqueness nI
the ceremony it is one that by reason
of its associations that makes it an
honor comparable to the decorations
of Eueopean countries.
The Indians de not choose careless-
ly, and among, their honorary ehief-
tains are men in the list of whose
names no man need be ashamedto
find himself enrolled.
It may not be eenerally known that
His Majesty King George V. is en-
titled' to wear the buckskin coat; the
moccasins, and the flowing plumes cf
an Indian chief. At the Couneil of
the Six Nations of Indians at Brant-
ford, Ontario. about a ,year ago, a
letter was read from King George,
then Prince of Wales, acknowledging,
the receipt of an address appointing
him one of the, vier chiefs of the Mo-
hawk nation. " The tetter ran as
follows:
em glad to learn that the Six
Nations are just as loyol to the Brit-
ish cause end. British institutions as
their forefathers wore in the past,
and that they are just os willing to
take up arms in slefence of the British
Empire as their forefuthers were. I

A 20111 CENTURY TRIUMPR
Bier'iot May Not Have Been the First
Man to Fly the Channel.
Illeriet may hove been the first to
fly the channel, but w. very
excellent renson to question it. The
archly os of the city of Bereamo. in
northern Itnly, contain n 'otter writ.
ten in London. October 19, 1751, tell-
ing of an Italian named llrimaldoi
who seems to have been en nth cen-
tury (whiten. A translation of the
letter follows:
"There is here a man of the most
surprising talent flint ever was seen
in the world. • He says he is an
Italian monk, a native of Civitavee-
(Olio. named Andrea Grimoldo, and
lie is about 50 years old. He spent
20 years in traveling in eastern lands,
where he devoted himself for a period
of 14 years to construeting the most
marvelous machine that high me-
chanics and mathematics could de-
vise.
• "This is a box of the most curious
workmanship and build, which, by
means of certain, clock springs, rises
in the air with such lightness and
rapidity of force that in its flight it
can melte a voyuge of seven leagues
an hour. It is made on the model
of a bird. The wings have a spread
of 22 feet from tip to tip, The body
is made of pieces of cane connected
with parchment and feathers. The
.wings are . of catgut and whalebone.
In the body of the machine are 30
wheels with two balls of . brass and
little chains, which niternately wind
up a Weight, and with the help of
six brass vessels filled with utereory,
which run in -channels, the machine
is maintained in the desired equili-
brium. •
"By means of the friction of a steel
wheel and n heavy piece of loaristoner
the whole is kept in very regular mo-
tion, which lasts during an even and
gentle wind, bemuse the machine
connot fiy either in a total calm or
in a high wind..
"This prodigious machine is steered
by a tail, seven hands wide, which is
attached to the knees and ankles of
an • operetor; and by stretching. or
drawing in his legs to the right 'or
the left he moves the machine in
whichever direction lie pleases,
"But he cannot remain .in the •air
more than three hours and a break
in the mechanism would cause a
-fatal fall. Therefore he does not soar
mor1 than the height of a tree or two;
so also he has only once ventured
over the sea-, find this was from Dover
tosColaie, end the sarrie morning he
arrived in ,Lonclon."
Aeroplanists will notice some simr-
lathy between theone deeeribed and
our. 1010 constructions,except that
the motive power does not seem to
bear out even like ideas. It is likely
that thimbl() mode some short
flights, but it Will be difficult to 'get
any one trielay to believe he flew

FOILING SIR WILLIAM.

A new' and amusing s'oery of Sir.
William Van Horne is told by Nor-
man Rankin in the July issue of Can,
ada Monthly. It seems that when
Sir William was constructing. the
Cuba Railroad he decided to install
a typical railroad hotel in Camaguey,
midway of the island, and with hie
keezi eye for detail he had an idea as
to its decoration.
"Why not fit up one of the parlors,"
said he, "with panellings of the beau-
tiful native woods of the island? It
seems to me that such a room would
interest visitors greatly, and give a
handsome effect."
• "Tine," said everybody, and his
suggestion was carried out to the
letter.
Next time he arrived.in Camaguey,
the hotel was practically complete.
and Sir William recollected his hard-
wood room.
"Yes, it was there," said every-
body, but with a singular lack of
enthusiasm.
"I should like to see it," suggested
• Sir William mildly.
"Certainly,, oh certainly," said
everybody, and hastily changed the
subject. •
,
Sir William was deaf, dumb and
blind to the beauty of the weather,
the excellence of the service, and the
sudden death of everybody's grand-
mother. He wanted to see that hard-
wood room, and with drooping ears
everybody, checkmated, led him to it.
• It had been panelled in all the
different, varieties of beautiful native
hardwoods, according to schedtile,
from ceiling to floor. It had given a
beautiful effect, as Sir 'William had
foreseen.. And then a. gang of paint-
ers, putting finishing touch's:a h 1:s
and creridors, had warnieeed in, �b..
served its paiotlessness, and given it
two heavy coats of ivory white.
Like the black on the darky, it.
wouldn't wash off, and ivory -white
that parlor is to this day.

Land Ttirtle.
. .
There is one little' denizen ef •the
marsh world that makes his slow way
.quite unmolested amongst the prowl-
ing food -seekers of the drowned lands.
Science has fastened a slong ' Latin
name to this fearless little chap, . but
the barefoot, freckled boy calls him'
.6mnd-turtle."
He is found along the causeways
and waterways.of the warm, dark wat-
er and muck bottoms. At the slight-
est sound be -pitches forward and
bides himself with lightning -like con-
tortionsin the friendly water weeds
and, if youstand quietly by and
watch, Youwill; ere long, see him
swim to the surface, protude his little
snakeslike head on its leathery, wrin-
kled neck and., watch ' yrem from bright,:
yellow -rimmed .eyes:
He •/..:1 a curious, good-natured, even
a.friendly little creature.
His shell house, Which be carries on
his back, is beautifully marked with •
Varying shades of -grey and ,browns
slashed •with flecks ofkleep vermilion.
- Should hungry mink or gliding
niarelg snake • appear, he has simply
to draw 'in.hie head, legs and short,•
spiky-like"lail and be immune from
danger. •• That shell, with its sharp,
corrugated edges, makes the turtle too
indigestible a meal for 'hungry worn -
per, mink or dnarsh-coon to relish.
And so the harmless, little lend -
turtle, Who is first -cousin to the
ferocious- snapping turtle, commonly
called "moss-back"•by the boy of the
freekles;•fives out his days. He grows .
very -sloWly end outlives almost:any
other denizen of the marsh or water.
Through • the long summer days be
stuis himself on 'bog or log rind' when
the cold weather comes be burrows
deep in the • muck and sleeps out the
long winter.
A Story of D. McNich011. •

of anecdotes arid personelle. He has
lateiy.heen in the West and according .
to The Vancouver Sups. has been
telling the, following stories of Mr.
D. 'AlcNieholl, vice-president of the
C,P,R.:• •
"Here is the first. A welb*knOwn
general manager of a big Canadian
bank tried to ealleet a bill from the
C.P.R.*Whether the bill was a just one •
or not matters -little for the purposes•
of this story. Anyway the .general -
manager became exasperated with the
C.P,R, and wrote a caustic letter to
Mr. MeNiehell •in which he said if
Use bill were not paid instanter be
would instruct every branch of his
bank not to ,use the C.P.R. passe.nger
trains when avoidable, not to use
C.P.R.-telegraphs, nor C.P.R. express
lines,' not anything with a C.P.R. la-
bel on it.
"Mr. MeNicholl'e reply was brief
and to the point. He said if the gen-
eral -manager carried otit his threat he
would instruct every employe of the
C.P.R. to refuse any bank bills bear-
ing elle label of that.particular bank.
When the general -manager got that
letter he coneluded he had played 'the
wrong MIA with Mr, McNicholl. What •
would happen to any bank whose bills
were systematically refused by the
C.P.R. ean be easily imagined, Any.
way the bank never boycotted the
