Two mike out from Kemakura, and about twenty miles from Yokohama, in Japan. on a terrace near the temple of Karnakura, bits the most gigantic idol, or heathen sod, now known to exist. This immense brazen image of a diety was built or made during the rigu of Shoatu, who was forty -el ixth in the pres- ent hire of emperors, and who died in the year 'NI A. D. This idol, whk•h has Lean prayed to daily for more thou twelve hundred years by the crowd of devotees that hourly cloister about it, is still in perfect repair and justly reckoned as on. of the greatest 'wonders of the orient. Frank Dobbiue, who visited Dar Hubei, and has given the best doicriphuu of the gods that has yet beeu written, says. ••The dimensions of this idol are truly coloeraL Ills height from the base of the lotus flower upon which be sits to the top of his head is sixty-three and on. -half feet, and above this rise an aureate fourteen feet wile, above which again rises for several feet the flame -like glory which 'Heloses or arches in the whole figure. The face proper is 16 feet long : its width 9f feet. The eyes are i feet 9 inchte long from corner to cor- nor, the eyebrows 34 feet, and the ears 8i feet. The chest is 1O feet in depth, and the tuiddle finger is exactly 5 feet long. Around the aides, head and shoulders of the god, in front of the aureole, are sixteen figures, each in a utttng posture and each H feet in height. The leaves of the immense lotus upon which the god sins, are each 10 ferret long and 6 feet wide. there being fifty-six of them in the cluster. The casting must have been wonderfully well executed, although the fineness of the leaf edges and other parts which 1 was able to examine and the elaborate engraving, which eau be still traced upon the dower itself in the uninjured parte, leave no doubt that the founder's art was supplemented hers arts there by artiste with tile and graver.

Labor and CapltaL Writing in a German piper, E•.lward Von Hartmann argues that the success- ful development of industry depends on Use expansion of capital in, at least, an equal ratio with increase of laboring population. Literati is necessary to create this expansion of capital, and would have to be get aide for that pur- pose in a purely stx'ialistic state. It is further argued that the fair rate of interest is determined by a self-adjttstiug economic law: if capital increase, the amount of money snaking iuveetment result., in high wages, until the two are again iu equilibrium.

The expen- diture has already reached a total of maty thousands of poo ids, and, accord- ing to The Mit. Jamas' Gazette. it ie esti- mated that a further outlay of be- tween $100,000 and 5130,0* will be necessary before the works are c re- plete. Of this sum it is expected that 570,000 will be ezpentl.d during the coming year -545,000 on the eastern defences and 585,000 on Darland fort. In both of thew twee there has been a large increase in the amount a the origi- nal esttmatus. It was anticipated that the works in ounoectiou with the eastern defences would cost $400,000 but owing to the substitution of oiril for convict lsoor that sum has been raised W Pee, - 0110.
