The foliage is well covered if the nozzle 
is handled intelligently This giant 
outht usually requires four horses, and 
is capable of spraying fourteen to six¬ 
teen acres a day, much depending upon 
conditions. The cost ot treatment in 
this manner is reduced to about ^10.20 
per acre where the woodland is fairly 
clear ol underbrush. An interesting 
modification ol this apparatus has been 
employed lor spraying strips along the 
roadside. It consists simply of a giant 
extension nozzle mounted on a universal 
joint so that the tip may be elevated forty 
or fifty feet Irom the ground. This last 
named apparatus, with a favorable wind 
can cover a strip 400 feet wide. — Land¬

PRIMITIVE JAPANESE ARMOR 
^ I 'HE Imperial Museum at Uyeno 
^ Park, Tokyo, has recently sent 
to the Metropolitan Museum in an ex¬ 
change an important collection of primi¬ 
tive Japanese arms and armor. It in¬ 
cludes the best of the duplicates gathered 
by the authorities of Japanese archae¬ 
ology during a period ol many years and 
is therelore an acquisition of uncommon 
value. And especially is it timely since 
the Museum’s newly developed exhibit 
of Japanese armor is inadequately rep¬ 
resented in “primitives.” The ob¬ 
jects now received include, best of all, 
one ol the very large two-edged copper 
spear-heads {tsukushi-boko) character¬ 
istic of the region ol Tsushima. They 
are exceedingly rare and ol great antiq¬ 
uity, dating probably earlier than the 
Christian era, and prior to the period of 
burial mounds. The remaining objects 
are later, but antedate the year 700 A. D. 
They include armor and spear points of 
bronze and iron, early sword blades, 
three important sword guards, one ol 
which is encrusted with gold, Iragments 
of early scale armor, and of a corselet: 
there is also a primitive helmet. Among 
horse trappings are a stirrup, bit and 
cross-shaped (bronze) ornaments. 
At the present time, then, the Mu¬ 
seum’s materials for illustrating early 
stages in the evolution of Japanese 
armor are reasonably complete; for, 
in addition to the foregoing objects, 
there are represented:—-a well-preserved 
corselet of the “JimmuTenno style,” 
several models of burial mound images 
(which came to be placed in the barrow 
in lieu ol the attendants, horses, etc. of
