This model republic is no experi
ment no colony scheme born of the
brain of a social reformer but has ex
isted for over 300 years
Within a few hours ride of Tokyo
the Japanese capital there thrives a
little community who live and work
in indifference to wars and rumors of
war Happily unconscious of the
growing Importance of Japan in the
world or of the changes taking place
they live free from want or the fear
of want content to remain still while
the remainder of the race Is moving
on Hashlma off the coast of Atami
tan miles from the watering place of
that name is a very small island not
quite two miles long and one mile
wide The climate is warm and soft
and with the scenery is in harmony
with the conditions of the inhabitants
Even in the coldest winter hyacinths
and azaleas in bloom can be seen dot
ting the meadows and camelia blos
soms nod on the miniature hills Vis
itors to Hashima are rare but those
who enter the island are greeted cor
dially says the New York World The
islanders point reverently to an old
temple named Tenmyoji established
by Bishop Tenkaku to whom belongs
the honor of founding the republic
over three centuries ago The bishops
laws have withstood the wear and tear
of time They are based upon one fun
damental idea the common ownership
of property In Hashima there is no
private property in land or the instru
ments of labor No single person
owns property but all the members
of the community possess an equal
share Every one receives income and
is permitted to enjoy it All receive the
full results of their labortogether with
what nature gratuitously confers upon
them As a result Hashima has no
rich and there were never any poor
There is no competition and no strife
There is no hatred no enmity no
jealousy Liberty and fraternity are
not abstract theories but facts The
laws of Hashima are simple There
should not be more than forty one
houses no matter how the population
may increase There are eighty acres
of cultivated land divided into equal
portions of forty one pieces There is
no rice field but potatoes and rich veg
etables are raised with millet and
other grains that grow on dry land
The produce is divided equally accord
ing to the individual needs and the

Talking about bird dogs said the
man with the shifty eye in the rear
seat of the trolley car and nobody had
said a word about bird dogs or any
other kind of dogs I had the most
remarkable bird dog that ever happen
ed I guess when I was living out in
Santa Barbara Cal in 95 1 dont sup
pose there ever will be the likes of that
dog on this earth again I raised him
from a pup He was a pointer from
away back It was just as natural for
that dog to flop on to his haunches
and point at a bird as it is for us hu
mans to eat things that dont agree
with us
He began to point before he had
shed his milk teeth I took him out for
a walk one day when he was only
about two months old and it took us
about four hours to get over two miles
of ground for that dog would sit down
and point at a bird about every 10 feet
of our progrtss
In the course of time pointing got
to be a regular mania of that dogs
and I couldnt take him out for exer
cise very often on account of his hab
it of lagging behind and point at feath
ered things Took him out one after
noon when he was about a year old
and a furniture van with a lot of pil
lows piled on top of some beds came
along One of the pillows was broken
at the side and a lot of feathers es
cape That dog of mine saw the fly
ing feathers and blame me if he didnt
sit down and point at that furniture
van Fact
But that wasnt the cutest thing he
surplus Is exported in exchange for
rice The allotment of imported rice
is reserved for festal occasions such as
the first day of the new year or ths
15th of July which is the date of the
commemoration of the foundation of
the republic If necessary a marriage
birth death or some other celebration
is used for the allotment The rice
is stored in a common granary Farm
ing however is only incidental to the
more important industry of fishing
The men arc all fishermen and own
eleven boats in common From this
source products of the sea are secured
which are estimated to bring in 3000
yen every year This sum is divided
among the forty one homes without
discrimination agafrist any one When
one of the forty one homes meets mis
fortune or accident the sufferers are
taken care of by the republic A man
capable of doing so is in cases of mis
fortune sometimes charged by spe
cial authority with- the duty of taking
charge of a store out of which he is
permitted to make a good profit until
he has recovered Then he has to
make room for some other unfortun
ate There are two stores owned by
the people one for the sale of liquors
and the other for the sale of coarss
wares These are manufactured on the
island The people are temperate
drunkards are an unknown quantity
The children of the island are educat
ed at a grammar school which is
usually in charge of a teacher from
Amishiro the nearest village on the
opposite coast The teacher receives
his salary chiefly in rice from the com
mon granary and his clothes are wo
ven and made by the young women in
turn Hashima probably enjoys the
distinction of being the only place in
the world where communism is in op
eration although the Hashimians
probably could not explain what is
meant by communism or any other so
ciological term
Found In Rome
Another piece of the great plan of
the City of Rome in marble the
Forma Urbis of the time of Sulpi
cius Serverus has been discovered in
the Roman Forum where it was used
to stop a drain It has engraved on
it the plan of the greater part of the
Baths of Agrippa together with the
Pantheon

A Turkish Ban on Typewriters
The customs authorities have pro
hibited the entry of typewriters into
Turkey and 200 machines now in the
ordered returned
custom house have been
turned to the consignor The authori
ties have taken up the peculiarly char
acteristic attitude that there is no dis
tinct feature about typewriting by
which the authorship could be recog
nized or a person using a machine be
traced and that consequently any one
is able to put in type seditious writ
ings without fear of compromising
himself Hektographic paste and fluid
also are prohibited for similar reasons
The embassies are making representa
tions on the subject with the view of
inducing the Turkish government to
take up a more reasonable attitude
Gamble to Sacred Music
There is a gambling house in Phila
delphia which employs an automatic
church organ instead o a lookout man
The scheme says the Record has
worked beautifully and neither the
neighbors nor the fly cops of the dis
trict are onto the game When the
organ is started you might think in
- passing the house that a prayer meet
ing or a revival service was in prog

ever did The cutest thing he ever did
was one afternoon when I took him
down to the Santa Barbara beach for a
walk on the sand I hadnt any sooner
got him down to the beach than he sat
down and began to point out to sea I
couldnt for the life of me make out
what he was pointing at There wasnt
a bird not even a seagull in sight
But he kept right on squatting there at
the verge of the sea and pointing out
over the water and if ever a man was
puzzled then I was At first I calcu
lated that he might be mistaking the
crests of the waves for feathers but
no a little reflection convinced me
that he wasnt any such a fool as to
do a thing like that Then I noticed
trat he was pointing directly at a
white ship that lay out in the harbor
I pulled out my field glasses and took
a look ft the ship and then the mys
tery was clear The ship he was point
ing at was the United States
Petrel and then the man with
the shifty eye executed a sudden leap
and escaped from the car before his
wrathful listeners could hop on him
and macerate him
Odd Nesting Place
One day the gardener at the North
Creake rectory Norfolk Eg hung
up his jacket in the rectory green
house On taking it down he found
that a wren had built her nest in one
of the sleeves The intruder seemed
quite at home in her odd nesting place
and has been left in undisturbed pos

then to From Greenlands Icy Moun
