Japanese CompetitInn.

Mr.. George G. Perkins is uneasy be-
cause Of the competition of japan and
gives his reasons in The Overland
Monthly:
Japan has an unlimited supply of
cheap coal and cheap labor. It has al.
ready demonstrated its ability to com.
pete with Europe and America by in.
vading the home markets of those coun.
tries. II has the best machinery which
the world has up to this time produced
and can manufacture as much more as
it needs. The initiative faculty of the
race Is unquestioned and unrivaled, and
its originality is becoming acknowl-
edged. 1t recognizes such educational
defects as 1t possesses and with charao-
teristic energy and conscientiousnes is
setting about to gain such knowledge as
is necessary to bring its people to the
highest state of industrial efficiency.
Chemistry was formerly practically an
unknown science in Japan. Now the
Japanese export chemicals to America.
Physics and mathematics will be studied
with similar practical results, and most
Americans now living will undoubtedly
see a.Japan with a modern civilization,
as far sits industries are concerned.
but with people still Japanese in char
acter and tastes, who manufacture goods
for foreign markets, as do the English,
and who no more desire to supply their
needs with English, French or American
productions than we do to supply ours
with those Of China, Japan or India.

TRADES THAT KILL.
Occupations That Gradually Destroy the
Lives of the Men Engaged In Them.

Occupations That Gradually Destroy the
Lives of the Men Engaged In Them.
People are afraid to travel by land or
sea and take out all sorts of accident
policies, but there are many legitimate
occupations or trades that kill as GER
tainly and steadily as the most i'll reg
ulated steam engine. An old writer
said that human life was the cheapest
thing on earth. Strange to say, says an
English trade journal, you cannot
frighten the wOrkmen who know how
dangerous is their trade, and not even
higher wages will tempt them from
such death traps. Lead, in the form of
bullets and shot, is a deadly, dangerous
thing, but it is also death dealing to all
who use it in their work, as house
painters, gilders, calico printers, type
founders, potters and braziers.
Mercury is a foe to life. Those who
make mirrors, barometers or thermom-
eters, who etch or color wool OF felt,
will soon feel the effect of the nitrate
of mercury in teeth, gums and the It's
sues Of the body. Silver kills those who
handle it. and photographers, makers Of
hair dyes and ink and other prepara-
tions ere long turn gray, while a dead
ly WEAKNESS subdues them, and soon
they suCcumb. Copper enters into the
composition Of many articles of every
day life, and too soon those who work
in bronzing and similar decorative proc
esses lose teeth and eyesight and final
ly life. Makers of wall paper grow pale
and sick from the arsenic in its color
ing, and matchmakers lose strength
and vitality from the excess of phOs-
phorus used in their business.
Nitric acid is used by engravers, by
etchers in copper, by makers of gun cot
ton and those who supply our homes
with lovely picture frames. Its fumes
are poison to the human lungs and soor
destroy them completely. Ammonia
kills the soapmakers; workers in guanC
grow deaf; hydrocyanic acid deals
death to gilders, photographers and pic
ture finishers, while zinc is a fatal foC
to calico printers, makers Of optica
glasses and meerschaum pipes.
Mankind is by nature brave, anC
very few are deferred from action be-
cause Of supposed danger. If the great
builders and engineers Of the worlC
would stop and ask, "How many livel
will this undertaking cost?" it is prob
able that the world would be withou
some of the greatest triumphs of mod
ern thought. Everyday life and com
mon occupations are full of silent cour
age, and all around are workers VIII,

The first thermometer was made in
1921 by Dutch physicist named Cor
nelius Van Drebbell and consisted of a
tube filled with air, closed at its upper
end. and dipping at its other extremity,
which was open, in bottle of nitric
acid diluted with water As the tenn
perature rose or fell the air in the tube
increased or grew less in volume, and
consequently the liquid descended or
rose. This instrument is now known as
an air thermometer, but as its measure
ments were based ON no fixed principle
it was of little use.

RACE TROUBLE IN TEXAS.
Whites Order All the Negroes TO Leave or
War Is Probable.

Dallas, Tex. Aug 21.-Earl Meadows,
a young white man, was killed by ne
gro under peculiar circumstances at
Leonard, Tex, several days ago. The
whites held a meeting and warned all
the negroes to leave. All left but one
and Thursday night he was severely
whipped by a mob of white men. 1t
appears that the negroes had not gone
very far, and the whipping Of the only
remaining member Of their race in the
town infuriated them to such an eX-
tent that they procured arms and are
now said to be marching upon the town.
The town is composed so far as out
ward appearances go, but there is ter
rible internal concern in the situation.
Reports have reached the town that two
wagon loads of negroes have left TiIr.-
ton en- route TO Leonard. and that
squads have left Ladonia and Bonhan
to join the Clinton party. Tn night
watch of the town has been doubled
arms have been gathered and ammuni-
tion collected.

oUTwITTED THE DEPUTIES.
Marchers succeed in Getting to the Oak
Hill Mine.

Pittsburg, Aug. 21.-Friday morning
the striking miners encamped at Turtle
Greek stole a march on the sheriff's dep
uties guarding the Oak Hill mine. While
the deputies were waiting for the detach-
ment Of campers TO appear on the roads
leading to the mines and wondering why
they did not come the strikers were
making a long detCur so as TO approach
the mouth of the pit from the other side
and they succeeded in getting there
without being observed. Their appear
ance was startling to the few men who
were ready to so To work, and the dep
uties were hurriedly sent for. While
they were coming the strikers told the
men that there would be a concert In
their camp at night and invited them
to attend when a posse Cf deputies,
by Deputy Sheriff David
Hanna. appeared. copy Of the inJunc-
tion was read to John Large, the Lead
er of the strikers and they left the place.
Another party Of strikers went to Mon
roeville. but so far as they could learn
no new men were taken into the en-
frances there.
The strikers express the belief that
one of the mines TO be operated by the
mine owners in their effort to break the
strike will be the Plum Creek mine and
that the miners now at work at OAK
Hill and Sandy Creek will be taken TO
Plum Creek and the two mines closed
down. BY centralizing their forces the
company would have PSI men, which
would be enough to operate the Plum
Creek mine in full. To offset this move
the strikers will abandon their camps
al Turtle and Sandy Creeks and all the
men will go into camp at Plum Creek
Edward Mckay, who is in charge OF the
campers at Turtle Creek, said Friday
that the miners had no fear of labor be-
ing imported. 1t would be too expen-
sive and would benefit the strikers more
than the operators. as many mines now
working would surely close down. EV-
erything was quiet about Plum creek

out the programme outlined by captain
rockingham and sent out men singly
and in pairs to patrol the roads. Ihe
denuties did not interfere with them. III

a point of desperation, but the horses
were whipped up and they plowed
through the crowd, which held to both
sides Of the wagon until they fell off.
Mayor Thacher managed to get in the
wagon and held Blake with one hand
while he held a revolver with the other.
At the police station some blocks away
an enormous crowd had gathered, but
the prisoner was landed in the chief Of
