THE TRANQUIL JAPANESE.
rbey Are So Different From Us That They
Pique Our Curiosity.

The japanese are so different from us In
every way they pique our curiosity. Is
their wonderful tranquility the result OF
long ages OF education to suppress their
emotions, or have they fewer emotions to
expressf Students OF the country take
sides on this question and wage wordy
wars over it. One man told me that they
were OF the Tartar race, and suppose he
thought was frivolous when l replied
that IL they were they must be the cream
Of Tartar. Another will not allow that
they have any souls, yet we find them ca
pable of self sacrifice, even to death, in
obedience to the sentiment of loyalty to
duty, and every day witness spectacles
of devotion which vividly recall the Cath
olic peasantry of Europe. Men, women
and children go to the temples to pray, and
when in the attitude OF prayer are obilv-
ious to the movements OF careless "globe
trotters" about them. We see much child
lshness, trivolity and even evidences OF
barbarism, IN connection with some OF the
temples put others nave pure symbol

The Boston journal gives various
theories as to the meaning Of the word
"dingbats. +" One writer who spent his
boyhood in Maine thinks it means to
spank, because his mother when getting
ready to use the slipper threatened to
put the "dingbats" on him. From Will
barham academy comes the explanation
that it means the breakfast biscuit,
which the students dispose of by stick
ing it to the under side of the table,
throwing il at the heads of other stu
dents or eating it. A Connecticut pupil
states that to receive punishment at the
hands of the teacher is known as get
ting the dingbats." Two Philadel-
phians agreed that it means money, as
in the sentence, I've got the dingbats
for it. But New Hampshire agrees
with Maine that it means spanking,
and SO the majority appears to side with
the maternal slipper. 1t is from such
"little acorns" that tho tall tree of our
almost cosmopolitan language has
grown. We got blizzard" from the
west, "kuklux" from the south, boom"
from the ambitious cities, 'crank"
from the eccentric minds in every part
of the country, 'pantata" from Italy,

An ingenious invention is des-
cribed in French scientific review
which should be useful to ships
officers and others. In one of the
barrels of a binocular glass a small
compass is placed fiat and so ar
ranged that by mirror swung in
the line of sight the compass can
be seen and bearings taken of dis
tant objects. Thus, fused at sea the
bearings of known objects on shore
could be taken almost simultaneous
ly and the observers position
located on the chart. 1t will be
useful, too, in picking up a mark or
a beacon to know its bearing at
once.

PROTECTION OF IRON COLUMNS.
Bricks In Portland Cement Successfully
Withstand Fire.

Bricks In Portland Cement Successfully
Withstand Fire.
Some experiments were recently made
by the building inspection department,
Vienna, on the protection of iron from
fire by casing it with brick A wrought
iron column IL feet long and built of
two channels connected by lattice bars
was used. This was set up i'll IA small
chamber constructed of brick, and the
column was loaded by levers This
done, it was surrounded by 4 = inch
brick wall laid i'll fire clay mortar. The
wall did not fit closely around tho col
umn, and advantage was taken of this
to fix there samples of fusible metals,
which should serve as gauge of the
temperature attained.
Various samples of stone concrete and
other materials were also placed i'll the
chamber within the column. This cham
ber was then filled with split firewood,
which was lighted, and the doors i'm.
mediately walled up with slabs of plas-
ter of paris. After the fire had broken
out the doors were broken in and a
stream of water turned into the room
from Ia horsepower Ilre engine All
examination of the room next showed
that the walls of brick, laid i'll portland
cement, retained their strength, while
most of the material stone left in the
chamber had been destroyed. The cell.
| ing had been lined partly with plaster
of paris and partly with terra Gotta
tiles Both were damaged The inclo.
sure around the iron pillars was still
standing firm, though corners of the
brickwork were clipped one inch or so,
and the fire clay mortar was largely
washed out of the joints. On removing
the casing, however, the pillar was
found to be uninjured, even the paint
being unscorched, and the fusible plugs
only showed n temperature of l49 de.
