BEAUTIFUL JAPANESE CATHEDRAL.
And Its Unique Way of Protection From
Fire by Fountains.

And Its Unique Way of Protection From
Fire by Fountains.
When foreign architects visit Japan
and see the cathedral of Buddhism for
the first time, they are generally aston
ished at the magnificent structure. 1t is
executed in pure oriental style and Is
richly ornamented with carvings. b..
Ito, famous builder of Nagoya City,
designed it. The structure was COM
menced in 1878 and was completed III
1895 The cost has been estimated at
SIT, 900, 900. 1t would have greatly eX-
ceeded this amount had not numbers OF
Buddhists worked without any recon-
pense.
As the structure neared completion
the committee having the work III
charge was much perplexed as to fire
insurance. They found that no company
would assume the risk on such a valu-
able wooden structure, the danger OF de-
struction by fire being very great, ana
thus the premiums would amount to an
enormous sum of money. At last the
committee decided on design devised
by DIR. Tanabe. Numbers Of powerful
fountains were constructed, both exterior
and interior, which can be made to play
on all parts of the structure at the same
time.
Usually only one great ornamental
fountain is playing, rising to the great
height Of 157 feet. This is probably the
largest artificial fountain in existence,
emitting S2,OS0 gallons per hour. In
case of fire all the water pressure is di-
rected through the numbers of exterior
and interior fountains. Thus every part
of the structure, both inside and out,
could soon be drenched and any confia-
grafton soon extinguished.-St. Louis

What sGNIalicious" Means.

A prospective juror, wearing long
hair and a wealth of whiskers, caused
much laughter in Judge DUNES court.
"Do you understand the meaning OF
the word 'malicious!' - asked the attOr-
ney for the defense.
"Of course l dc" promptly replied
the man i'll the jury box.
"Well, now, hat does it mean?
"Soldiers, answered the bewhisker-
ed juror. Then he looked surprised
while the court told him he was excused
from further service.
He afterward said he thought that
the lawyer asked him the meaning Of
the word militia. Exchange.

The Mascot Worked.

Otto Feudner has been buying lottery
tickets for years and has never won SO
much as an approximation prize. He
concluded that he would have to get a
mascot, so ON the advice of a colored
friend he set box trap out in the ceme-
terry to catch a graveyard rabbit.
Feudner caught great big fellow the
first night and put him in a big dry
goods box. 1t was the day before the
drawing, so to make sure that the mas
cot would work all right Feudner put
$50 worth of tickets in the box with the
rabbit. After the drawing he went to
see what he had won.
The mascot had worked. 1t had eaten
up all the lottery tickets. San Fran

Unidentified Rivers.

The first rivers mentioned in authentic
history are alluded to in Genesis. They
are the Pison, the Gihon, the Hiddekel

Various attempts have been made to
identify these streams, but no agreement
has been reached among the authorities
