F Russia and Japan do not finally come to blows it will be because each is afraid of the outcome of a war. Judging from the relative sizes of the two countries, the contest would seem an unequal.one, for Russia is far larger and has a greater population than the United States, while Japan is one of the smaller powers, but it is probable that the very size of Russia would prove an embarassment. A good, vigofous, business-like yellow-jacket can put a husky man to flight, notwithstanding the disparity in size, and Japan may -~»—-prove to be the wasp. Even with its trans-Siberian railroad, the transportation of troops and supplies to the seat of war would be a very serious and costly matter for Russia, and the necessity of guarding the road at danger points would be even more expensive and troublesome. Warlike operations are rapid in these days. “The nation that strikes the first effective blow gains a material advantage. If war should break out, the whole strength of the Japanese army and navy would be at the scene of hostilities and although Russia might and would ultimately crush the Japanese if the war were sufficiently prolonged, yet enormous damage would be inflicted on the Russians in the meantime. The situation would be very similar to that existing in South Africa during the Boer war where ultimate victory cost England dearly; but there would be this very important difference, that the Asian struggle would be a greater one and its final results less certain. ere iat os i ee ee ee ee ee FRAUD AT LAST TRIUMPHS .T last the faker has attacked pure food in its last ditch, AN so to speak, in the stronghold hitherto deemed impregnable to even the shrewest imitator.

And no. one would object, So if the life of our nation should be endangered. Indeed, even_in the average political campalgn it is not uncommon for the “political pot to boil,” while there is excitement enough on the floor of the stock exchange to fill the average citizen with wonder.

For certain it is that no bigh achieve ment is possible withoat enthusiasm. A dall, monotonous, dead level kind of an existence may be all right for a turnip, but it is mighty uninteresting for a man and will result in very little of consedtence to the world.

The bee is up against it, my honey, and so is the public, for the faker makes false honey comb as readily as tortoise shell combs are made from the horns of a Texas steer, There is no more beeswax in these base imitations, either, than there is virtue in a stewed prune. Not only has the trade declared itself free and independent of the bee in the making of honey, but it is equally independent in the matter of wax, This is enough to make the bees Swarm and buzz with a sense of outrage. It is giving beekeepers a bad attack of hives. It will probably give eatess of honey the cholera. When honeycomb proves to be a hollow mockery, it is time to ask whither are we drifting. To Experiment. i BERKELEY, January 7.—Professor O. W. Woodworth of the Department of Agricaltare at the University of California is preparing to condust a practeal course for agricultural students in ‘‘Bees and Honey-Making” during the coming term. In conjunction with this couree Professor Woodworth will conduct some important experiments with a have of bees that he installed in the garret of the Agricultural College today. This hive of bees has been placed apon a scale and carefully weighed and a record of the amount of food that goes in and the amount of honey prodaced will be kept. The bees will be fed mostly on suger, which fe cheeper than honey. The results of thie experiment, Professor: Woodworth , belteves, will be of benefit to the farmIn Excellent Order.
