JAPAN'S FASCINATION.
MONG the returning
friends at The Carolina
is Mr. James Todd of
Pittsburg, who is back
with Mrs. Todd for his
annual sojourn and quail
shooting, to which he is a devotee.
After leaving here last spring Mr.
Todd spent several months in Japan and
he talks entertainingly of the trip.
" Japan is not by any means as repre
sented," says Mr. Todd, " but, neverthe
less, there is no denying its great fascina
tion for tourists.
" They call it the ' Flowery Kingdom,'
for instance, but there are comparatively
few flowers except those under cultiva
tion. They do wonderful work in the
greenhouses to be sure, but it is not far in
advance of the work we are today doing
in America. Japan has, nevertheless,
been doing this work for a great many
hundred years and the people are flower
crazy.
"Everyone has heard of the chrysan
themums and one hears a great deal
about wistaria, but the wistaria of Japan,
cultivated or uncultivated, does not com
pare with wistaria as I have seen it in
Richmond, or right here in Pinehurst on
The Holly Inn veranda, for example.
"Then, again, Japan has originated
little and copied much, often improving
on the original idea. Japan's real attrac
tion is its reputation, and the average
tourist comes away more impressed with
this reputation than with reality, f oV he
hears about a great many things which
he does not see, and which if he did
see, would not impress him so forcibly.
"One of the most interesting sights we
saw was the collection of captured Rus
sian ai ms assembled in the park at Tokio,
of which the central attraction is a big
eight-inch gun, in perfect condition,
which was taken from Port Aythur. It
makes a most impressive memorial of that
great strife, and attracts a great deal of
attention from the Japanese, as well as
from the foreign-born residents and visi
tors to the city. At present the memorial
is surrounded by a light wire fence of a
temporary character.
"There are other big steel cannon,
many of them scored with shot marks,
some of them with twenty-five or thirty
gouges, many of them three inches deep,
and there are forests of muskets, lines
upon lines of them extending away down
either side of the main drive.
"Taken altogether, the collection con
stitutes as striking and impressive a re
minder of the prowess of the 'little men'
as one could conceive. It's alone worth
crossing the ocean to see.
"Another thing that interested me very
much was watching fishermen taking fish
with cormorants or ducks, in the rivers.
Two of these fishermen go out together,
at night, in a long boat with torches at
both ends, and with them some fifty of
the cormorants which are on leashes.
When a school of the fish, little trout
which gather in the 'riffles,' are found
the birds are turned loose, and it's fun to
watch them gather the fish up. When a
bird finds difficulty in swallowing or gets
a particularly good trout, he is yanked in
and made to disgorge his catch into a tub,
and it doesn't take long to get a good
sized tubfull of these really delicious
pan fish.
"Japanese art and handicraft is always
fascinating, and it is astonishing what
remarkable bargains the shrewd buyer
may pick up. Ia this particular the Ja
panese excel and are, without doubt,
originators to a great degree, generation
after generation of artists and artisans
having been responsible for results which
no other race has ever or will ever
surpass.
"As a country Japan impresses one as
being all rice fields and all people. Every
where the fields stretch away and every
where one wonders where so many people
live."

interesting history. Two 32-pounder
