tunes living about In the middle OF the
room. lying on his elbow on the floor. was
q long. thin, saliow-faced man, with as re-
fined features as 1 have ever seen. He had
bright eyes. a very high forehead, large
ears, almond eyes and very long face.
His dress was the soul of simplicity. 1t
consisted of blue cotton kimono, which
was open almost to the waist, and was
about as near nothing as possible. This
was the great actor DonJuro. He rose TO
his knees we entered and bowed grace
fully in Japane Sc style We got down on
our knees and bowed our heads to the floor.
and then sat on the floor and chatted for
81 time about Japanese art and acting. Mr.
e. d. Weldon, the well-known American
artist was with me. and he and Donjuro
had quite discussion over art topics, and
the great actor was surprised to find how
we'll the art of Japan has become known
TO our famous artists and especially TO MI
Weldon, who is perhaps the best posted
foreigner on the art of Japan in the world
today. Donjuro is an artist as we'll as an
actor, and he makes me think OF Joe Jer-
ferson in his many accomplishments. He
is man of the highest culture. He stands
we'll in Japanese literature, and he writes
poetry. He made Some remarks as to the
difference between the Japanese and the
American stage, declaring in favor of the
former, and he said that he was really sor-
~ that he could not accept the generous
offer which he had to come to America
and act at Chicago during the worlds fair
He afterward sent me his photograph,
writing his autograph below 1t, and l found
that there was just much demand for
the pictures of actors in Japan as in Amer
ica and that the people had their favorltes.

pills, and who is, perhaps, the brightest
Of the younger Japanese comedians. He
received us in his dressing room. He had

and he made up for his part while he
chatted. His gown was pulled down to his
waist and he was absolutely naked as to
The upper part of his body. He squatted
on his knees before a little glass on the
floor painting and patching and turning
himself from modern japanese gentle
man into bridegroom of the olden time.
He had his servants to help him, but he
did the most of the work himself in the
most artistic way, painting his arms and
mis- eyes and his neck. and patching up
mis- head SO that he looked like an old
Daimio. He finally put on a gorgeous suit
of light blue silk, and stood before us as
the hero of the dual marriage, or, as it
might be called. of the play which Is
known in Japan as The knight of the One

20 remark that wished that could have
a picture Of him. Whereupon he replied:
why don't you take it? There Is my
camera" I looked, and 1 saw one Of the
finest of modern cameras, with tripod and
all conveniences. He directed his servant
to put 1t up for us. and Mr.. Weldon took
the picture while he posed. As the button
was pressed the call for the act came, and
he left the room for the stage. We took
out the plate holder and went back to our
seats. 1t was not minute after the pic
-ure was taken before we reached them,
and the house was in roars of laughter.
Shinzo was playing one of his great parts,
and 5000 people were doubling themselves
up in ecstacy over his acting.
How 1t Feels to De Blown Up.
1t was indirectly In connection with this
theater that I had my first experience
with a Japanese earthquake. The great
earthquake at Tokyo occurred about two
days later and I came within stones
throw of being killed in 1t, while was
getting the photograph Of Donjuro. of
which 1 spoke. I had long wanted to be
in an earthquake. just to see how 1t went,
you know. My longing is satisfied, and
laugh at earthquakes no longer. japan Is
at least five hundred shocks every year,
and there have been years when the shocks
have reached as high as three thousand.
The most Of these shocks are very light,
and I laughed at the terror which the
peel pie showed at the least vibration, and
could not understand 1t. This big earth
quake. however. opened my eyes. It ruin
people. 1t was one Of the greatest earth
luakes that Tokyo has ever had. It
caused great fires.
1t cracked the earth, and 1t came near

THE STOUT LADY'S GAIT.
A Young Woman Says Her Obese Sis
tiers Move Lightly.


Ibid you ever notice. said a young
woman of observation, that no matter
how heavy any of my obese sisters may
grow to be they can always move lghtlyf
The ARREST dancer that I ever knew was
a woman who weighed over 200 pounds.
and the boys used to tell me that it was
positively comfort to waltz with her, for
she seemed to float about like balloon.
Of course, there are plenty Of stout women
who come down like falling key every
time they stir a step, but that is because
they hold their shoulders bowed back and
their stomachs bowed out until they look
in profile like a bow window. They have
thrown themselves off their center Of grav-
ity and prance about with all the grace or
a walking beam.
But the stout woman who knows how
to hold herself, how to poise herself, L
should rather say, can move as lightly as
sylph, as everybody can testify who keeps
his eyes and ears open. I repeat. too. that
she can move much more lightly than a
man of corresponding bulk can. / don't
know why it is, but it's certainly so. l

ments were made, something in the nature
of comparative measurements Ii would be

how the earth moves at such times, and as
to it's effect upon all sorts of structures.
According to him, it makes great differ
ence to how the buildings are built and
the Japanese are now resting some Of their
founda lions on rollers and iron shot so that
they will move as though they were placed
on the ball-bearngS of bicycle, when an
earthquake occurs. He suggests that the
chmneys should be made CT sheet iron in
stead of bricks, and people living in earth
quake countries should have heavy tables
under which they can crawl In case of a
shock. They should have earthquake
lamps, and in some parts of South America
he says the people have earthquake coats
which are stocked with provisions, and
which lie beside their beds, and in which
they can skip out into the open air with
some kind of protection at the slightest
warning. The ordinary japanese house is
of wood, and instead of having laths and
plaster. it is lined inside and out with a
wattle-work Of bamboo and this is plaster
ed over with mud. 1t is more like a basket
than a house, and 1t is much safer than
brick and stone.
Earthquake Horrors.
Still, the damage that is done by earth
quakes in Japan Is terrible. All through
Japanese history you find records Of viii
lagos being swallowed up, and of thousands
of men being killed. have a list of jap
anese earthquakes before me. Almost the
whole Of the city of Tokyo was destroyed
between two and three centuries ago, and
at this time 1t Is said that 100000 people
lost their lives. At other times mountains
fell and lakes took their places. The last
great earthquake that Tokyo had was in
1855. There were eighty shocks felt within
a month, and the city was one blaze of
fire. One hundred and four thousand peo-
pie are said to have persisted, and 1900
houses were reduced to matchWoOd. The
earthquake in which I was was by no
means so serious. Still. 1t was not to be
sneered at, and my own Japanese servant
came to me in great trouble, saying that
wife and boy had been injured.
The Big Earthquake Mt Gifu.
One OF the biggest earthquakes that
Japan has ever had occurred about three
years ago. had a number of friends who
we're in it, and 1t was horrible beyond de-
scription. Thousands of buildings went
down. and thousands Of people were killed.
The railroad was twisted as though it had
been made Of sticks of half-melted taffy.
Great factories were thrown to the ground.
Some Of the most famous potteries of the
country were destroyed. Temples were
burned. The entertainments Ct rivers fell
reduced to ruins. This occurred near the
great city Of Nagoya, and it affected build
ings in Kobe. One man whom 1 know was
the French teacher in a school in Nagoya.
His house fell down. and his wife and him.
self had to flee in their night clothes. They
lost everything, and in this earthquake
600 people were rendered homeless, and
vast amount of property was destroyed.
The horrors Of the earthquake cannot be
described. People were cut all to pieces by
the ruins. The earth half swallowed some
Great cracks and assures existed every
where, and the earth was scanned and
wrinkled and torn.

until night. The shoes are all left outside
in the NALL and going in you pass by
three or four thousand wooden clogs which
are marked with checks. The Japanese wo-
men go bareheaded, and hence they have
not the trouble about theater hats that
we have in America.
A Call Jnpan's Greatest Actor.
I attended the theater in company with
Mr.. S. II. Tokioka, who is connected with
the household department of the palace,
and with him made call upon the famous
Donjuro. 1t was between the acts that We
made orr way down under the stage and
on through wheel after wheel until We
came into the dressing room. In some of
these there were actors half naked taking
their siestas. In others they were making
up for the rext act. and We had gone
through about twenty. l judge. when we
came into a little den looking out on a
beautiful garden. 1t was q room about
twelve feet square, and was carpeted with
mats. The walls We're filled with closets,
