back to the time when horses had

'when men had begun to shed side
wh'is'pers and before ladles had even
thought of eliminating petticoats.

.Saturday, September 1. 1925 seis-
nlograplrs all over the earth traced
out the message of another great
disaster in Japan in which probably
200,000 people were killed, and To-
kio and Yokohama were almost wip-
ed out,
Terrifying days followed the groat
shock of September 1; 1926. At 11.
hours 58 Mieutas 44 seconds, a rum-
bling sound was heard ns from a
distance, followed immediately by a
sharp, vertical earthquake «hock,
which lifted up the ground and teen
dropped it.
A11 this happened In a few seconds
as the Japanese housewives were
preparing the midday mealon the
little charcoal fire, or Mhoeh), as it
is known. wh Ieh proei(' ,. 11,E 1'"^es
of cooking In every Japanese house.
Then the earth started to settee clown
again, and more than 1,300 eheelrs
were recorded in the next three
weeks.
The Fates were, however, against
Japan. Scattered by the violemrte of
the first shock, the burning charcoal
of the hibachi set fire to many of the
houses. Then the winds rose arrt
spread the flames. Yokohama, the
great city that had arisen 003 of the
insignificant little fishing village of
Commodore Perry's day, was razed to
the ground, Three-quarter, of 'ro-
kio, a city of over 2,000.000 people,
disappeared too.
In the great Yeshiwara, or licens-
ed quarter, of Tokio, 2,000 girls who
had taken refuge from the heat of
the flames in the orn:llnent111 10110 of
the walled quarter, were boiled to
death. A thriving trade was done
later in photographs, of the ghastly
sight.
But tragedy had its culminating
point on the vacant ground of the
Mllitary Clothing Dej)ot at Honks),
Tokio, where 34.000 people, carrying
the most cherished of their 110000 -
]told goods, sought to escape from
the heat of their burning homes. A.11
but 200 were roasted to death,
And the Japanese people: What
was their attitod.e in the face of dis-
aster? They shrugged their shoul-
ders. "It can't be helped," they arid,
in the words of a famous Japanese
phrase. At a great memorial service
at Ilmajo, I watched thousands of
them pay their respects to the bones
and ashes of their dead, collected at
the depot.
There was no weeping; Japanese
do not weep In public, Aly reeella'c-

American lines. Viucolntt Coto, the

Gigantic Teeth bound.
Much interest was created a few
months ago by the news of the dis-
covery of the remains of monstrous
animals in the State of Sonora in
Mexico. These remains have now
been examined. Ono was the tooth,
of an alosaurus, an animal in sonic ,
respects like a crocodile, but of co-
lossal size. This tooth, of which only ,
the Lop is complete, 18 twelve inches
long and four inches wide, and in i
its incomplete state it weighs over
six pounds. It belonged to a eros-'.
tura sixteen feet high.
Another tooth waa twelve. Accord -
leg to calculations by veterinary sur-
geons
urgeons and dentists the complete set

huge beasts must have weighed near-

this monster must have been score. 1

In 1920, Canada led with 52 per
cent., , tt'he United States.
and Australia followed with 16, 14
and 10 per cent. respectively, while
Ilungary, Jugo-Slavia, India, Algers
and Rumania contributed small
amounts. Russia was again a negli-
gible factor, it will be noted, and
that in spite of some boasting at
hone and abroad, early in the year,
that it would! be a real factor.
Other details given by the same
authority showed that three-fifths
of 111 world's barley - came from
Canada, and that Canada and Ar-
gentina each supplied a third of the
wo'rld's oats and Idle United States
one fourth. While Britain remains
the chief buyer of all grains, Japan
has entered the market. The latter
development has previously been
mentioned by The Expositor as in-
dicating a new and molt important
export market for Canadian wheat,
with Vancouver and Prince Rupert
as the Pacific ports from; which car-
goes are shipped direct to the ori-
ent.
