In this connection it is interesting to note that Japan, in spite of the fact that she entered the international arena in competition with the world’s great nations only within a decade or two, has possessed a staff college •luce 1882. It was modeled originally after the ¡Prussian staff college, and has had some prominent German officers on duty as instrii<u»rs. Three years after itg organization the great German au thority on tactics, Maj. (now Maj. Gen.) Meckel came in that capac- i»y and remained for four years, dur- inK which time he placed the institu tion on a firm foundation and intro duced Kriegsspiel and general staff gides of instruction, besides reorgan ising the entire Japanese army. He was followed by the two German offi- cers who afterward rose to the rank of major general. Its directors have also been prom- inent men in the Japanese army; among them, the present minister of war and governor general of Formosa, the late Chief of the General Staff Kawakami, the present commanders of the Eighth and Ninth divisions, and the present assistant chief of the gen eral staff. The course is three year® and orig inally only 15 lieutenants were admit ted in a class, but this number has been gradually increased, until to-day 50 are admitted annually. One of the important features is the return of staff officers and students to line duty. The course each year begins on December 1 and ends early in June, but from August till the end of Octo ber the students are sent to the va rious arms of the service to learn the dntie® of branches other than their own and to take part in the fall ma neuvers, besides doing duty at forti fications and artillery target practice and on battleships. At the end of the three years’ course all the students take part in the general staff rides of jlmtruction, and nre then ordered back to their own arm of the service. ‘ The graduates receive a medal worn, like an order, on the uniform, and the first five or six are presented by the emperor with a sword of honor. Even the military instructors are or dered to serve for a time with the va rious arms of the service. After a year’s service with troop® the best of the graduate« are ordered to duty in the general staff, and after one or two year® are permanently aa- aigned to the general Ftaff corps. The subject« of study are tactic® (in cluding naval tactics), military his- tury. general s-taff duty (organization, maneuver®, mobilization, supply of armies, transportation of troops, etc.), military geography, artillery and ■mall arms, fortification«, attack and defense of fortification«, administra tion, military hygiene, law. riding, languages, general history, general geography, mathematics and topog raphy. and «ketching. The general staff rides cover 40 or 50 miles. \The interest taken in this school is evidenced by the fact that, although only officers of at least two years’ serv ice with their regiments are eligible, and then only upon the recommenda tion of their immediate superiors, at least 100 come up annually for the en trance examinations, although only 15 can enter.

They re alize that he has the advantage over them. for he is a practicing attor y, and when the marriage does not rn out well he is ready to help in e divorce court.

Not only is a considerable amount of grain or fodder consumed by these animals, but much mure is trampled upon and destroyed, while the open burrows are occasionally responsible for accidents to horses employed in harvesting. Many ways of destroying these ani mals have been devised, but ordinary methods frequently fail to keep them in check. Probably the simplest and most satisfactory method is that of the use of bisulphide of carbon, an in flammable liquid which, on exposure to air. volatilizes into a vapor that is very destructive to animal life. A bul letin has been issued by the depart ment of agriculture, telling how to ap ply the remedy, reports the Toronto Star. One special advantage of carbon bisulphide is that its vapor is more than twice as heavy as air, so that in a woodchuck burrow it will follow along the hole until it reaches the bot tom, crowding the air above it to the top. As the animal is’likely to be in the lower part of the burrow, it is al most certain to inhale the poisonous vapor and be killed. The equipment necessary for this sort of woodchuck hunt consists of a bottle of carbon bisulphide, a bundle of old cotton or other cloth, a pail and a spade. The pail is filled with dirt and set near the hole ready to turn in; then a piece of cloth is held between thumb and finger, saturated with about an ounce of the liquid, and immediately thrown as far into the burrow as possible. The pail of dirt is quickly thrown into the hole, and the entrance carefully closed. ' If there is more than one entrance, all but one should be filled in before the treatment. This method not only kills the old wood chuck, but destroys in a humane man ner the young in the burrow. It has, too, the additional advantage that the animal is not only killed but is buried, and the bole is filled, so that consider able time is thus saved. Tt should be distinctly understood by everyone who uses carbon bisul phide for any purpose that it iR high ly volatile, inflammable and poisonous, and it is also highly explosive. With any reasonable care in its use. how ever, out of doors, no ill results can follow. THIS SKULL WILL BE FAMOUS. Oar Foaod tn Linalnf, K rrbri , 8e»ma to Prove Eihtenee of Prehistoric Man. M. C. Long, curator of the Kansas City public museum, has photographed the “Lansing skull’’ from different view points. The prehistoric skull is now in the possession of Mr. Long. After a thorough investigation, Mr. Long is satisfied the skull is that of a prehistoric man, who in all probability lived during the glacial period, 35.000 years ago, and this opinion is fully shared by Prof. S. W. Williston, of the Kansas university, reports the Kansas City Star. On March 23 of this year workmen found t^ie skull while digging a tunnel deep into the side of a hill on a farm near Lansing, Kan. Mr. Long chanced to hear r.f the finding of the skull and went to Lansing. If the opinion of Curator Long and Prof. Williston is correct, as they feel assured it is, the “Lansing skull’’ for the first time of fers tangible proof of the existence of prehistoric man in North America. Tn Europe several prehistoric skulls have been found, but this is thp first to be found in America. The ‘ Lansing skull” was found deep under well de fined strata of earth and rock, and was imbedded in what is called river I opbr . This prehistoric man was probably a contemporary of the mastodon and giant sloth. The photograph doe« not give an ade quate idea of the peculiarities of the prehistoric skull. It slope® back imme diately from the eyes, and there is practically no forehead. Over the eyes, however, are well developed ridges, which are taken to denote that the per ceptible faculties were considerable. The hack of the skull, as seen in the illustration, is almost abnormally de veloped. and there the skull is very thick. Pieces of stone are attached tn and imbedded in the skull, and these pieces of stone arc identical with those found attached to the bones of mas todons. The cracks seen in the skull were caused by the workmen who found it. for they attached no impor tance to the find and’allowed several heavy boxes to fall upon it, breaking it into half a dozen pieces.
