OAkEY HALL FOUND HIMSELF.
woke Up Months After Leaving New
York In London Lodgings.


York In London Lodgings.
Oakley Hall was once connected with
an American paper in London. His
aim here was to achieve a high name
at the English bar, says Julian Ralph,
writing from London to the Provi-
dence Journal He was the son of an
Englishman and therefore he was in
English law an Englishman whenever
he chose to declare himself He made
no success because he lived wholly
in the past and his mental inclina-
tions were solely reminiscent. From
the day of his mysterious disappear
ance from New York he lost the power
to utilize mis- brain in any way that
could earn him a living. When he
returned from Europe after that dis
appearance he and ! We're closeted for
months together in the Office of Mr..
Hulbert's New York World Then it
was that he told me the truth about
his disappearance, and without know
ing whether or not it has been pub
lished in America, l will repeat 1t
briefly. He said that one morning he
woke up in a hall bed room in May
fair, in the heart of London, and as
lay in bed looking with wonder at his
surroundings, a woman knocked and
entered the room. She asked him II
he would have his usual breakfast.
He inquired what his usual break
fast was, and she, astonished in her
turn. told him that he always had a
pennyworth Of tea, a penny roll, a
penny pot of butter and an egg which
cost a penny He asked her to sit
down and then, by examining
her, he found that he had lived
whole season in that house under a
name he never knew; that he APP
peared to be city man English for
a man in business; that he went out
every morning, came back every even
ing, went very frequently to the
theater and was the quietest, most ir-
reproachable of all her dodgers. "In
a word" he said, Il had lived the life
of another man for months, uncon-
scious OF my own identity, unreeog
nized by any one and fulfilling the
we'll rounded half of dual existence"

Weston to take my watches and share

We were now clear of the Channel;
and. after hard battle with the wind
and sea, we left the long roll of the
mighty Atlantic.
On the third night after my rescue

JAPANESE WRESTLERS.
Their Physical Development In the Light
of Some Statistics.

o
Although the American Is willing to
concede to the Japanese the possession
of a mental activity almost, II not
quite, eQualing that of the majority OF
white races, he is apt to form some
what sighting opinion of him as
viewed from a physical standpoint.
The specimens met with in this coun-
try do not convey favorable i'm
preston OF their athletic powers.
After, however reading an account OF
the physical measurements of some Of
the most prominent japanese wres-
tiers, a more respectful attitude re-
garding the muscular development OF
these little men will probably be taken.
The Jill Shimpo has recently published
a table giving the measurements OF six
of the foremost japanese fighters.
From this table it is gathered that the
most bulky OF these modern gladiators
weighs, at the age of % years, about
800 pounds, height, 515 feet; girth OF
chest, IS inches; lung capacity. 1850
cubic centimeters; upper arm, IS
inches. Another one weighs over ESQ
pounds; height, 6 feet inches; girth
of chest. 48 inches; lung capacity,
5000 cubic centimeters; upper arm, 16
inches. The smallest of these fighting
men weighs more than 200 pounds,
measures in height feet inches
while in lung capacity he exceeds them
all. There are few wrestlers or pugi-
lists in this or any other country who
attain to these dimensions, and those
who have seen some Of the best ex-
ponents of Japanese wrestling are
willing to back them when pitted
against the pick of the European or
American experts, as 1t is said that
they are as skillRul as they are power
