The only structures in Japan which
seem to be earthquake proof are the
pagodas. which are erected before the
temples. There are many which are
TOO or 800 years old and as solid rs
when first built
There is a reason for this and 1t lies
IN their construction. A pagoda is prac-
tically framework of heavy timbers,
which starts from a wide base, and is
In itself substantial structure, but is
rendered still more stable by a peculiar
device. Inside the framework and sus.
pended from the apex is a long. heavy
beam OF timber two feet thick or more
This hangs from one end OF the foui
sides: four more heavy timbers. and II
the pagoda be very lofty still more tim
bers. are added to these. The whole
forms an enormous pendulum, which
reaches within six inches Of the
ground.
When the shock of an earthquake
rocks the pagoda. the pendulum swings
In unison and keeps the center of grav
ity always at the base OF the frame
work. Consequently the equilibrium Of
the pagoda is never disturbed, and thii
Is the explanation OF the great age Of
many OF them. when from their heigh
one would suppose them to be peculiar
Iy susceptible to the effects Of tn,
earthquake.

A Mexican Gambler.

Don Felipe Martel, the famous gam
bling house proprietor OF the City of
Mexico. had made q fortune In the
business before the government decid-
ed to abolish gambling houses by levy
ing on them a license tax of 81 600 u
day. One by one the gambling houses
closed. and when the field was clear
Don Felipe Martel approached the au-
thorities with $1,000 In cash and de-
manded a days license. In n few
hours his place was thronged. At a
single stroke he had won the patronage
of Mexico, and his doors have never
been closed since. The daily outlay of
$1,000 Is not missed from the daily
revenue of thousands. His strong re-
ligious tendencies are so well known
that nobody was surprised when ne
built in the village OF San Angel 4
church that cost more than $4,000.
The poor people Of the vicinity, and
many OF the rich as we'll, have come to
regard him as n sort of fairy prince.
His own style of living encourages this
belief. The Martel mansion in the
City of Mexico Is a magnificent affair,
constantly filled with guests. A curl
Gus feature is that 1t contains 40 win
dows-the number Of cards in the Mex.

Ebony.


Ebony was known and highly es-
teemed by the ancients as an article Of
luxury and was used by them for
variety of purposes
In India 1t Is said that 1t was en-
ployed by kings for scepters and also
for images. On account Of its sup
posed antagonism to poisons, it was
used largely for drinking cups.
The name ebony Is given to the wood
Of several varieties of trees. All kinds
Of ebony are distinguished for their
great density and dark color. The
wood In all varieties is heavier than
water. The heaviest varieties are the
darkest. The other grades require q
considerable amount of staining to
make them black.
Ebony Is OF a uniform color through
out and will not show any deteriora-
ton even from long continued use.
There are three varieties of ebony
well known In commerce. The ebony
from the Gaboon coast of Africa Is the
darkest. The Madagascar ebony is the
densest. The Macassar ebony furnish
es the largest pieces. 1t is sold by
weight.
limitations of ebony can always be
distinguished by their lighter weight,
and the cheaper limitations can be de-
tected by merely scratching the sur
face.-Jewelers' Weekly.

Grace Church and Its saloon.

Grace Church, New York, has
bought bit of property on Fourth
avenue, which contains a saloon.
Rev. DIR. Huntington says the OBJ
ject is to extend the church build
lngs when need is, and not prima-
rily to expel the saloon, which Ii
held under lease that continues
for two years, and which, he adds,
has never been q nuisance. For
the present the saloonkeeper is ten
ant Of Grace Church. but that body
will not, as Trinity has done, main
tain such leases when the time
comes that it can get rid Of them.
DIR. Huntington does not even be-
iieve IN the regulated church saloon,
which DIR. Rainsford has advocat-
ed.

Knew His TIA-,c.

"a ragged boy about 10 years old"
says n correspondent of the Detroit
Free Press, "sat on the fence in front
of an Arkansas cabin, and just as l
came up his mother came to the door
and called 'Mosesr in a loud voice.
The boy did not look around, and after
a minute she called Abraham He
made no move. and | was asking him
how far it was to Greenville when she
put out her head and called Luke! lie
did not appear to hear and had an
swered me that 1t was seven miles
when the mother raised her voice still
higher and shouted Mark"
"'Your mother is calling you,' I said
as he paid no attention.
"'No, not me- he replied.
"'But who, then?
"'My brothers over in the woods
She's called for Moses. Abraham, Luke
and Mark. She'll call for Philetus
jeremiah. Judas and Abel, and IL they
don't come she'll yell out for Ananias
and thatll mean me, and I'll Jump"

War They Lost Independence.
London. Nov. 9.-The absence of
stirring war news and the rehabilita-
ton in the estimation OF the British
public of General White, who since
his reverse at Nicholson's Mex, GER
tainly appears to have used his CEN
trail position to successfullysstrike at
different points of the circle of in
vestment, thus restoring confidence
in his ability to hold the Beers in
check, has permitted public atten-
ton to momentarily revert to the
political features OF South Africa,
and conflict is confidently predicted
in some quarters. Lord Salisbury at
the lord mayors banquet, tonight
will outline the governments policy
in regard to the future government
of the TrarsvaaI and Orange Free
State and explain that the reference
in the queens speech to military
operations" not "war" and restor-
ing peace and good government to
THAT portion of my empire," meant
nothing moro nor less than that,
in the opinion of the government,
President Kruger, by making war
on the queen, destroyed all claims
to independence granted by the con-
ventions of 1881 and 1884 and conse-
quently the country has reverted to
it's previous status and is theoreti-
cally part of the queens domains. AS
the Associated Press pointed out at
the time, the phraseology of the
81 GEMS speech could not be other
wise explained than at the time of
the speech the republics of South
Africa had already ceased to exist
as separate nations; but if Lord
Salisbury is prepared, at this early
stage of the operations, to definitely
announce his policy of the future,
when apparently so many problems
remain to be solved, both during and
after the war, he must have already
reached more definite understand
1ngs with several of the powers than
the public is aware of. The pre-
mier's speech is therefore, awaited
with unusual interest and it seems
certain that he will at least be able
to announce that the talk of Euro
pean Intervention is groundless.

Carnegie Talks.

New York, Nov, 9.-Andrew Car
negie and Mrs. Carnegie were pas
sengers on the White Star line stea-
mer Oceanic, which arrived at her
pier today from Liverpool. Mr.. Car
negie appears IN good health. He
said the report that he intended to
become subject of Great Britain
was without foundation, for, he said,
"where q mans treasure is, there his
heart is also."
The war against the Beers, is
most infamous and Unjust and it was
brought about by. .England's lust for
domain and is on a par with our at
tack on the poor Filipinos. These
two attacks are disgrace to both
branches of our race"

TO BE A CLARK RALLY.
Taik I'm Oklahoma of BoycottIne the
Statehood Convention.

Guthrie, Okla, Nov. 8.-The op-
ponents of Councillor Sidney Clarke
in the race for the democratic con-
gressional nomination accuse him of
an effort to use the statehood execu-
tive committee, of which he is chair
man as q means for furthering his
own political ambition. More than
one of the men mentioned in con-
nection with the nomination have
expressed the belief that the state
hood meeting called for November
II, will be nothing more nor less
that Sidney Clarke rally, and they
propose to show their dislike for the
Oklahoma county councillor and his
method of boycotting it.
In support of their claim that
Clarke himself does not expect the
statehood movement to gain any ad-
vantage as a result of the coming
gathering, they call attention to the
fact that the secretary of the terri
torial organization has received no
word regarding the purpose of the
meeting; that his signature does not
appear on the call, and that it was
issued without his knowledge.
II the claims of Clark's opponents
are to be given weight, it is fair to
consider the Oklahoma Cityan's ac-
tion as casting light on the plan of
campaign he purposes pursuing in
his fight for the nomination. 1t is
expected that Clarke will show his
hand at the coming meeting, reveal
ing an evident intention to secure
the nomination by posing for the
benefit of the advocates of statehood
in Oklahoma. Of course, everybody
in Oklahoma wants statehood, either
single or double, and by declaring it
to be his special hobby Clarke hopes
to be carried to congress on the
wings of a popular demand.
