— ’S
now an established part of our mili
tary educational system, and in the
.»pinion of the army it is one of the
greatest of all the great improvements
effected by the present secretary of
war, says a Washington report.
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.

SURE DEATH TO WOODCHUCKS.
&
In many parts of Canada a good deal
damage is annually done in grain,
nay and pasture fields by the common
woodchuck, or groundhog. 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.

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.

July 29 is the second anniversary of
the murder of King Humbert, of Italy,
the last of the 12 chiefs of state
who were assassinated in the last cen
tury. Tt i« a notewarthy sign of the
growing tendency to the«e crime* that,
while in the first half of the nineteenth
century Czar Paul was the only vic
tim. in the third quarter rulers of Par
ma. Montenegro, the United States and
Servia were «o “removed.” and in the

perished—ruler« of Turkey. Russia,
the United Rtates. France. Persia, Aus
tria and Italy. And this, be it ob
served. in «pite of the fact that th«
number of state« has diminished con
siderably. Further, the first year of

murder of President McKinley, as was
