Royalty to Coolie Including The Diplomatic Corps Has Splen did Record in the Japanese Army. TOKIO, Oct, 23.-The funeral of General Count Mitchnura Nodzu, who died last Saturday, was held to day most impressive scenes marking the last rites which conducted un der the Shinto religious belief. Full military services were carried out on Aoyama parade grounds. The mili tary escort which followed the body to the grave consisted of four battali ons and a guard of honor which marched beside the coffin, reposing on a flag draped gun carriage, was headed by Admiral Togo, fleet ad miral of Japan, Marquis Ito and twelve other admirals and generals. The procession was fully two miles in length, testifying to the great re spect in which the dead soldier was held by his countrymen. Admiral Sperry commander of the American fleet, personally attended the funeral and followed the coffin, accompanied by his staff. Three of the favorite horses of the dead general walked behind the body with heads lowered as if they too shared the deep sor row the the mourners about them. A1I grades of society were repre? sented among the mourners and the diplomatic orps was present in its full strength giving the funeral- a semi international tone.

Unless there is a rainfall soon in the southern part of Illinois, the coal mines will have to shut down for want of water for making steam and for operating their coal washing machinery, according to' coal traffic officials of the Bur lington, Chicago and Eastern , Illi nois and Illinois. Centra roads.r Scarcely any fain has fallen in Franklin and "Williamson , counties, where most of the coal mines 'are lo cated, since last May, they say, and many of the mines already have been forced to shut down. Others are hauling water to the mines from long distances and borrowing from the supplies kept by the railroads in res ervoirs all along their lines for their engine tanks. The supply is now becoming ex tremely low and if the drought con tinues the mines, many of which have been obliged to curtail their produc tion, will be obliged to suspend op eration entirely. The railroad is willing to share its water with the mine owners as long as possible," said V. A. Holley, in charge of the coal traffic of the Bur lington yesterday," because in that region the coal business is about all we have' to handle, and if there is no coal we will have no use for the wa ter."

Put the whole In a long, slender bottle closed at the tap with a piece of bladder containing a pinhole to admit the air.

If high winds are ap proaching the liquid will become thick. as If fermenting, while a film of solid particles forms on tho surface. During fair weather the liquid will remniu clear and the solid partlclp will rest at the bottom. . -? i ii .I . ,'' s .
