Ella Wheeler, the dreamy-eyed
Wisconsin poetess, in a poem
recently published, says if she
could be aught inanimate she
would like to be an engine. Ella
is a beautiful piece of machinery
as she is. All the trouble with her
is that she is disconnected. What
she should have is an engineer.

[Sctenttfic American. /

At y late meeting of the Phila-
delphia Numismatic and Antigua
rian Society, q member exhibited a
very rare and valuable Japanese
gold medal termed "Shinroku
Oban," 400 years old, which ex.
cited Interest not only from the
credentials accompanying it, but
also from the manner ia which 1t
comes to this country. A few
years ago the Japanese Ambassa.
dor ct Washington asked the al.
vice of Col. Thomas A. Scott in re.
lati0n to the selection of an Amer
lean engineer to superintend the
construction of certain important
works contemplated by the Japa.
nese Government. Col. Scott sug-
gested Mr.. Joseph U. Crawford,
Of Pennsylvania, then engaged
upon the Texas.Pacific Railroad.
Mr.. Crawford sailed for Japan, and
commenced the construction Of al
artillery road around the island of
ZessO, the northwest of the Japan
csc possessions, bordering on Rus.
Ella. This road, although prImari-
~ constructed for the transporta-
tion Of troops and cannon, was
graded so that rails may be laid at
any time.
Owig to the precipitous rocky
ellie, the climate, and other
causes, this undertaking WAS re-
garded as exceedingly difficult to
accomplish. The manner, cost
and celebrity with which this road
was completed proved SO accepla
BILE to the Japanese Government
that Mr.. Crawford was sent
to this country to purchase sup
plies, equipments and pro-
cure assistants to construct the
Polonai Railroad. The road was
completed and opened with formal
ceremonies last November, on
which occasion Mr.. Crawford was
decorated with the Order of the
Rising sun, and as particular
mark of favor this "Shinrokn
Obsn" was presented to him by the
Government through Gen. Koroda,
Colonial Secretary and member Of
the Prtvy Council of the Mikado.
