The immigration-of Japanese f,q this
country has become great and constants There is ng bay £o \\. except %he
alien ppntrapt law fthd the usual quarantine regulations. The Japanese government itself is not friendly to this
immigration and has done what it
could to discourage it. Some years
ago it enacted a law requiring each
emigrant to secure a passport, which
is granted only on condition that he
provide two sureties that he will not
become a public charge or fall into
distress for three years. But the
Japanese quickly "worked" this as our
politicians "work" registration laws in.
large cities. They soon organised
twelve companies to provide sureties
ROd transportation. They hav£ agents
throughout Japan and everyone who
wants' to emigrate can get his pass-
pprt within a few days. These companies have furnished great stimulus
to the outflow. Last April- more than
8,000 Asiatics, chiefly Japanese, landed
at Victoria alone.. The. official estimates are tbat 90 per cent of the
Japanese landed in Canada eventually
come to this country. Many Chinese,
of course, evade the exclusion law and
come in- through the same channel.
British Columbia has no alien immigration laws. But the Chinese immigration has been so burdensome that
the country has imposed an enormous
poll tax and to some extent has succeeded in checking it. Tlie Japanese,
like the Chinese, are industrious and
tractable and large railroads find
their services valuable. The Great
Northern road, for example, has a
close traffic with the subsidized Jap-
ansese steamers,at Seattle, and consequently Japanese labor is profitable,
both to the railroad and the Japanese
steamship companies. Thus far we
have never felt that the Chinese and
Japanese were in the same social scale,
but undoubtedly an Asiatic population is not desirable.

Btystorlons   Torpedo-Boat   in   Course    ot
Construction at  Stamford.
For nineteen months a submarine
torpedo-boat has been in process of
construction at "Ware Island, off Stamford, Conn. Great secrecy has heen
maintained hy the builder and comparatively little is known of the plan
of the boat or what she is expected
to accomplish. To a casual observer
the boat looks like a great cigar painted bottle green. Its length is given as
fifty feet over all. The how is sharp,
the stern rounded. The hoat is fitted
with a heavy ram made of maple and
tapers from six , inches to perhaps
twenty-five in diameter. It is lour feet
six inches long and fitted on the end
is a steel plug which tapers to a point.
The shell of the boat is-of yellow
pine, bound with iron hoops, covered
with coatings of ship felt and pitch.
Galvanized iron covers the coatings
of pitch and felt. On the top of the
craft is a decJk conforming to the shape
of the boat. There is alsCa. conning
tower, with two torpedo loops. ,The
machinery is connected with the conning tower. Electricity is the motive
power used. It is said that three men
will compose the crew. The torpedo
loops are made water tight by a preparation of rubber and copper. A rubber cap also screws down over the top
of the tower outside and encircling the
deck are several exhaust pipes. The
craft will be propelled "by water taken,
in through openings, one on each side,
about four feet from the stern of the
craft and well down toward the principal keel. These openings are connected with pumps which, are operated by
two engines of 1,000 Jhorse power each
From ths pumps run four seven-inch
-copper pipes, two in each side of the
boat. Th» water forced through these
pipes passes out through two openings
in the blunt stern of the hoat and,
coming in contact with the body of
water in which the boat rests, forces
it ahead. It is not calculated that a
very great speed will be attained. To
the stern is fitted a cap of iron bolted
with wood to make it tight. This cap
is connected with a lever on the inside
of the boat and when it is desired to
back the vessel the cap is "placed
partly over the vetts in tlfe stern.
This gives the water emerging through
the opening a backward movement and
causes the boat to go back. There are
two dynamos, "Which are operated by
the two engines mentioned. Kerosene
is used as fuel. There are fourteen
tanks in the bottom of the boat, capable of holding fifty-five barrels of oil.
This 2,700 gallons of kerosene also answers the purpose of a balance. When
a tank has been exhausted provision
is made to take in sea water to Tefill it.
The interior of the boat is divided into
three sections, fn the rear is the engine-room, in the center are the lockers and apartments for the crew and
in the bow is a store-room. TJhq.-in-
terior is braced by" an octagonal frame
of wood and iron. The craft will be
lighted throughout by electricity. So
far as can be,learned there is no provision made for leaving the boat when
it is under water.
Many have lost confidence and hope
I as well as health, because they thought
their kidney disease was incurable.

for the discouraged and disconsolate.

800 pounds of Plymouth Sisal, qi* Stan4ai*4 Twine, which rans §Qfj Jeef
to the pound, ....
Three hundred pounds of Plymouth Standard or Sisal will gire* _ipj

We have recently tested twine sent us for examination, that averaged
a little less than 430 feet to the pound. ■ .'
The PLYMOUTH Twines are the only ones of those grades that '.run
505 feet to the pound. You save by buying them, over the lbwesfc
grade,lS7.33on 300 pounds, or S2.44 per 100; or 2 44-100 cents per
pound. Therefore, if Plymouth sells for 14 cents per pound, the other
should sell for II 66-100 cents, to be as cheap, and others iii proportion
The Moral is. buy PLYMOUTH Twine, and save money,  and the
annoyance of lbose bundles, caused by poor twine.
