It Js. an art that has been laivo in Japan for more than two hundred enol fifty years, but that is now crystallized In the small theatre 111Osaka palled the Bun- rakti-za. Access to the, doll. theatre is through a big stone arch, or torn, guarded on either side by large atone lions and lanterns, The fence that surrounds the compound shows a line of green latticed windows, bordered with black, set at lAtervals in a white wail that is decorated with crossbeams of vermili- on. The interior of the doll theatre is ar- ranged like that of an ordinary Japan- ese playhouse, with its square com- partments, or boxes; and there are gal- leries on three sides of the house, The stage Itself is slntila0 t0 that on which the real player's act and is fully equip- ped with settings,' but it differs in one respect; for there is a deep space In which the dell handlers stand while they are manipulating their charac- ters. The figures are largo and take from three to four men to move them. To call them dohs is hardly fair, for they are so full of dignity and grace, Viten movements so suggestive of the whole .gamut of human emotiena, that they are far removed from the trivia) and banal with which the nine of puppet Is so widely associated in the West. The doll handlers, who have con - tittered themselves to such a degree that they lose themselves In their creation, wear gay costumes, and their tacos are uncovered, but the minor perfortuers are garbed in black, with black hoods and face curtains to hide all traces of their individuality— grouped like shadows behind the radi- ant moving figures. The minstrel sits on a rostrum to the right of the stage, watt a musician to accompany him. He sings the des- oriptlons and recites the cenvetsa- ttons, changing suddenly from the high treble of a youthful princess to the gruff tones of a villain, imitating a feudal lord or a mereh'1nt, a priest or a beggar, interpreting the drama, by tato ever-changing rhythms cf his saml- 500. For the ancestors of the dolls the hest pfaywrlgbto have evi•itten, and the dramas produced in the dolt theatre have become masterpiecoa of Japanese literature, the names ot the characters household words. Other countries have their doll theatres in more or less flourishing condition, but few' have reached such a state of perfection as the Bunraku- za of Osaka. For here is a rare Com- bination—inanimate figures instead of actors of flesh and blood; doll mon trained from childhood to acquire the technique to manage the cold and life- less forms through which flows the creative.genlus of the handlers; min- strels and musicians who have de- voted their Iives to the Interpretation of the plays; and the best brains ot the dramatist employed In order that the dolls might be triumphant and their use fully Justified. Yoshida Bungoro, one of the chief doll handlers of the Bunraku-za, may believe that lila gileat art ought to be- long to his native land; perhaps he thinks It 0ould be appreciated only in Osaka.Butthat le ubttree.

Annual Agricultural Stocktaking. For the fourth successive year the Dominion Bureau of Agricultural Sta- •!stics is engaged in making an enum- eration throughout Canada of the areas sown to field crops and of farm live stock, This enumeration is being effected by means of schedules dis- trnbuted to individual farmers. When filled up and returned, the cods will be transmitted to the Burena at Ot- tawa for compilation into totals, ex- cept as regards Ontario and British Columbia, where the provincial de- partments will undertake the compila- tion. The collection of these statis- tics represents a national agricultural ;sbocktaking of much value to the farmers as well as to the country generally, Owing to these annual sta- . tistics, it is posaibie to show that the area in Canada under field crops in- creased from about 89,000,000 .acres in 1915 to nearly 53,000,000 scree in 1920 and their natio from $825,370,0.00 in 191$ to ,$1,485,244,000 in 1920 or nearly 75 per cent. ere The Efllclency Englneer.

Homan, a Sun Francisco inventor, a "sixth. sense" seems to have been created. At a distance of 600 feet, in total darkness, Homan Asserts that with the aid of a delicate instrument for the detection of heat waves he can tell whether one two of several per- sons aro present. His invention, which was started during the war f:r de- tecting enemy forces in front of the American trenches, is a combination of thermopiles, a reflector and a gal- vanometer. The instrument, which acts much as a sound detector, is sen- sitive to beat waves and can be de- veloped to the point where a complete silhouette of an object can be given, showing the cutllne5 from which Beat waves emanate, It can also be used for the detection of airplanes thous ands of feet in the air. U. S. Government olfieiuis are said to be considering use of the Instru- ment for guarding valuable goods, such as large coal piles, warehouses and automobile fleets not in use. In- stead of a large dumber of guards, who can be avoided, it is expected to set up one or two of Hoffman's instru- ments, which will immediately show the presence cf people in the vicinity.
