LAND OF LACQUER
AND BAMBOO.

Small as Is the empire Of Japan,
covering an area considerably less
than that Of the State Of California,
forests are by no means scarce, and
the length and varied attitudes of the
islands comprising the empire make
possible the abundant variety Of
woods found in many Of it's provinces.
Although wood entered largely into
the construction Of the buildings for
centuries, there was extraordinary de-
mand upon the forests by reason of
increasing industries and therefore no
object obtained for an imprudent de-
struction Of the timber lands. Since
the opening Of the country to COM
merce an efficient system Of cOnserva-
ton has been in vogue, which has and
will continue to perpetuate the timber,
thus furnishing material for construc-
ton and the arts, as we'll as maintain
ing a source Of revenue from expOr-
tatiOn for time to come. The intense
love Of the Japanese for the pictur
esque and the beautiful in nature has
also been large factor in the preser-
walton Of the riches which the country
possesses in it's forests. 49,

foreign countries to the Field Column

position none was more complete that

Nerves and skyscraper..

A nervous condition bordering on
prostration, to which the doctors have
not as yet given a name, has lately
been observed to affect persons who
work many hours day high up in the
modern skyscrapers. The ailment re-
sembles nervous prostration. except in
the principal symptom, which is con-
dition of intense restlessness and, as one
of the victims to the new complaint ex-
pressed it, "a singular desire 10 scream

nephew. During the absence of the parents
the nephew took the boy to the river near
the w~ater-works gallery" and went in
swimming. He took the boy on his back
with the intention Of crossing the river and
while in the middle of the channel was at
tackled with ramps. The Dolby boy was
drowned and the nephew was rescued with
great difficulty.
Coroner Castor notified Whitsett Of the
accident and the undertaken sent his men 10
the river to recover the body. The parents
of the lad were not apprised of his death
until after the recovery of the body. Mr..
Dolby went at once to the unorgue and de-
manded the body, but the undertaken, acting,
as he claims, under instructions, refused to
give 1t up until he could communicate with
the coroner. The body lay at the morgue
about an hour before it was given to the
parents. The plaintiff demands $4,000 dam

SHE SHOT HER SISTER
TEN-YEAR-OLD EssIE MHAFFEY
FIRES AT LITTLE BELvA.
The Younger Child Was Resting mt
Her Mothers Breast-Dfdn't "Know
1t Was Loaded

An accidental shooting yesterday morning
about 8 o'clock at the home of Israel Nc
Hafey. No. 81 Foundry street. Brightwood.
for z time caused considerable excitement
in that neighborhood. His little ten-year-old
daughter Essie fired a revolver at her sister
Belva, aged six years. the ball taking effect
In her face. Little Belva had just arisen
from bed and was standing beside her
mothers chair with her head resting against
her mothers breast and with the mothers
arm around her when the shooting occurred.
Essie. who had been IN the kitchen washing
the breakfast dishes, in som way secured
her fathers revolver. which was lying upon
the top Of q cupboard. and. unheard. had
moved into the room close beside her mother
and sister before they were aware OF her
presence. The mothers first warning of
sanger was the words. "Belva. I am going
to shoot you." and the report OF the re-
volver instantly followed. The injured girl
had been standing with her face inclined
slightly forward gazing at a picture card
that she held In her hand. and this posture
IS probably the only thing that saved her
life and also ner mothers. The bullet from
q thirsy-two caliber revolver entered the
side OF her nose at the bridge and ranging
bone and two teeth. After several neigh
bors had hurried in the child mumbled that
she wished 10 spit, and when told to do so,
spat out the fiattened bullet and loosened
teeth into the hand Of a neighbor. DIR.
Brown. who attended the little sufferer,
does not believe the wound will prove dan
Eerous. but her nose was so scorched and
hackened by the powder that it will al

The father said hat he could not under
stand how the child had secured the re-
volver from the cupboard or how she man
aged 10 fire IL afterward as IL was an old
fashioned single action WeaD0n. A npiChh0r
claims that the father unloaded the gun
last Saturday and allowed Essie to play
with IL and he reloaded ii yesterday morning
to shoot a cat that had been carrying away
chickens. and when the child found the
revolver she did not know that the weapon
had undergone a dangerous change.

LEGAL POINT SETTLED.
Character Of an Investment Cuts No
Figure with the Obligation.

The suit Of Zachariah Phelps, administra-
tor, against William ~. Durbin, to collect
the balance alleged to be due on a note ex-
ecuted by Durbin in May. 1888, Is on trial
before a jury in the United States Court.
Durbin bought an interest In a concern in
New York, giving his note for $1,000. The
sum of $4,000 is yet due on the note. The
defense Is that the enterprise into which
Durbin bought an interest was a bucket
shop" and this being an illegal business. the
note was invalidated. This point was raised
yesterday evening by the defense, Judge
Baker holding that the character of the in
vestment has nothing TO do with the de-
fendant'S obligations.
