Japan Described by the Up nr rThrough the courtesy of Mr Sellchl
Tegima Commissioner General of Japan-to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition wehave received an interesting and Instruc-tive volume of permanent value Japan In
the Beginning of the Twentieth Centurywhich U published by the Imperial Japa-nese Commission It has been preparedfrom official sources by Mr Hnrukl Yamawakt Secretary of the Department ofAgriculture and Commerce and a member-of the commission and was printed inEnglish at Toklo While a quaint word
out here and there the English is verygood nnd tho statements are clear and com-
pactIn over BOO pages the present state of the
Mikados empire is put before us Firstwe meet a description of the land andnatural features of the administration ofthe land tenures and a statistical account-of tho population Then follow tho manyIndustries each with a brief history and ac-
count of how It la carried on agriculturesilk and tea raising stock breeding forestrymining the fisheries and the many manu-
factures There are recent statistics to befound here but tho articles are more thanabstracts of figures they intelligentgeneral descriptions of how each handiwork is carried on
In the same way in the succeeding arti-
cle on trade finance communicationseducation and so on the explanation of howmatters changed from the old to tho newmakes the figures attractive The account-of the army and navy is very brief At thoend is a supplement devoted to the island ofFormosa The book forms a convenientand authoritative handbook on Japan andthe author has contrived to elucidate as hegoes on a great many terms and miscellaneous matters that usually puzzle foreignreaders in things Japanese It is perhapscharacteristic that book should bebound In silk

If the reader does not take him too seri-
ously Mr Wolf von Schlerbrandsthe Welding of a World Power
Doubleday Page Co may prove In-
structive as well as entertaining It Is
made up In part at least of magazinearticles and what Is not might just as wellhave been There is a good deal aboutthe Kaiser and about various phases ofGerman lifo told from a superficial jour-nalistic point of view where the author Is
bound to mako a telling point even at con-
siderable sacrlflce fact There Is nodoubt however that his hook will provemore readable to many readers than a-
more accurate scientific statement wouldHasty generalizations are attractiveThe author has opportunities to ex-
amine recent German conditions so thathis statements will have a value for per-
sons who already know Germany and areable to supply the needful dose of salt Forothers there is no particular harm if theytake Mr von Schlerbrands views In prof
