JAPANESE CADETS.

Military School Exercises Include Hana to Hand Conflicts.

In the Japanese military school, where I saw a Spartan system of edu­cation, the exercises of the cadets with pikes, rifles and broadswords were no-approached by anything of the kind that I had witnessed in Europe. It was fighting of the fiercest character.

At the end of the struggle there was a hand to hand combat, which lasted until the victors stood triumphant over the bodies of the vanquished and tore off their masks.

In these exercises, which were very severe, the cadets struck one another fiercely and with wild cries, but the moment a prearranged signal was giv­en. or the fight came to an end the combatants drew themselves up in a line, and their faces assumed an ex­pression of wooden composure.

In all the public schools prominence was given to military exercises, and the scholars took part in them with enthusiasm. Even in their walks they practiced running, flanking and sud­den, unexpected attacks.

The history of Japan was every­where made a means of strengthening the pupils' patriotism and their belief In Japan's invincibility. Particular stress was laid upon the country's suc­cessful wars, the heroes of them were extolled, and the children were taught that none of Japan's military enter­prises had failed.—McClure's Maga­zine.

WARSHIPS RAM.

The Huge Steel Beak Is Capable of In­flicting Terrible Injury.

A modern ram is nothing more than a huge steel beak, or sput, which is fitted to the prow of the battleship for the purpose of destroying an enemy's ship in time of war by the force of collision. Indeed, should a vessel suc­ceed* in driving her ram against an­other warship the blow, if delivered at full speed, would be sufficient to crush in the ship's side and sink her immediately.

A battleship's ram weighs about for­ty tons and is cast all in one piece. It is of solid steel and capable of strik­ing a tremendous blow. Shell proof a man-of-war may be made, but the skill of the naval architect is unequal io the task of designing a ship that .ian resist the ram.

Great care must be exercised in fix­ing such a heavy piece of steel. The r. let hod generally adopted Is as fol­lows: The ram is suspended from a strong derrick, the bottom end of vhich is attached to the extreme end of the vessel's keel plates. The gap between the ram and the uncompleted part, or hull, is walled tight compart­ments. The weapon is so fixed that i< strikes Just below the armored belt, where resistance is weakest, while it is so shaped that the ramming vessel can by reversing her engines easily disentangle herself from the ship 6he has struck.—Philadelphia Record.
