A notable percentage - about one
third. I think-of the power of steam
engine is used up in overcoming the
friction of its own parts. Hence in
ventors are constantly testing devices
to reduce friction. Yet they can never
overcome it; and the resistance ere
ated by it represents power (and hence
expense also) absolutely lost.
Now the human body is machine
propelled by heat, exactly as an engine
is; and anything that retards it may
be considered as friction. Very good,
then.
You have noticed great differences
in your own vigor. Some days you

Guilty. This is so whether you are
chiefly a muscle-worker or a brain
worker; or a mixture of both-as most
people are Occasionally you are able
to do more work in a day than at other
times you can do in three. It is the
odds between walking on smooth, hard
level grounds and dragging yourself
uphill through wet clay. What
wouldn't lawyers, authors, clergymen,
and all other brain-workers give for
something having the power to keep
their minds clear and strong? Or
for something that would
prevent aching, weakness and fatigue?

the royalty are allowed to pass. Other
bridges near by are reserved for the
common people.
"The japanese have a story, which
has gone into their history, of the time
when Grant visited Nikko. He was
with a party OF friends, and had come
10 the sacred bridge. The japanese
keeper. knowing who Grant was,
opened the gate, allowed him to step
upon the bridge, and then closed the
gate again. Grant turned and asked:
Are my friends not allowed in here?'
No came the reply; only youH Like
an American. Grant answered: Well,
what's good enough for my friends is
good enough for me- With this he
turned. was allowed to go out, and, re-
joining his friends, crossed over on the
bridge for common folks.
7 must say that We liked NikkO so
well that we returned three times. The
houses in that place, as well as all
over Japan. are not built upon founda-
tions in the ground. They simply rest
with their corner posts on huge rocks,
so that when the earthquakes come the
houses simply sway with the ground.
After one week in Nikko we took a
sampan. put all our luggage aboard.
and crossed over Chuzenzi Lake. The
other side reached. we dressed in BIZ
cycle costume, tied japanese sandals
over our other shoes. and walked 10
miles through the Chuzenzi pass, a
rough. tiresome journey, to Akakura,
the great copper mining country, where
white women before us were never
seen. Gangs of a hundred or more
japanese never ceased to follow us
around, gazing at US and making re
marks. Of which was unable to catch
the drift
From this place We went in jinriki-
shas TO a tea house in Ashio, where
we remained 10 days. To give you some
idea OF the cheapness of living in Jap
an. would say that, counting the four
girls and the guide. it cost US II yen
lSS-5Gl for rooms and the finest of
board for 10 days. Kane. our japanese
guide. a homely, but faithful fellow,
was simply Indispensable
at Ashio we donned Japanese
clothes and proceeded on a rough so
mile trip on foot to the figured rocks
at Chosinjin. Half Of the distance was
mp and the other half down hill. l do
not think that I shall attempt the trip
again. The rocks We went to see are
shaped naturally into heads of ami
mails and people. In the valley is a
natural bridge, TO fall from which
would mean TO be dashed TO pieces a
thousand feet below.
We called on the Japanese priest in
the Shinto temple in this forlorn place
he explained that japanese women
were never seen there, and that it had
been so years since a white woman
had crossed his patch. Upon examin-
ing the register we found that in IL
years but seven white men had visited
Chosinjin When we got back to oul

200 japanese awaiting US. Our carriers

THE PHILATELISTS.

in United States revenues. For some
unknown reason Canadian collectors
are very anxious to secure these stamps.
4 number of stamp collectors now

poleon, which are imperforate- These
stamps can be traced originally to the
sheets obtained by Baron Arthur de
Rothschild from the French govern
ment some years ago

weeks ago the stamp was offered at

price has since been raised.
