Electric venti1atorssFor India.

According to French official reports
which have reached the state depart
ment at Washington through Consul
General Guenther, the demand for cleo
trfc, ventilators in British India ex-
ceeds the supply. American manufac-
turers are handicapped somewhat by
the fact that the people of British In
dia prefer ventilators with blades from
a. to 6 inches long, while those OF
American make are only about 3 inches
long. Theaestablishment Of a depot foz

Henri Fourier, the winner of the
terrible automobile ace from Paris to
Berlin, who was never passed from

French capital, is no doubt the most
daring Of all the automobiles in the
world. He has been called reckless.
When in this country in 1899, he was
named the Red Demon" He has
had numerous narrow escapes from
death and has been seriously injured
several times.
Fournier BECAME familiar to- lovers
of bicycle racing in America in 1899,
when he came over to pace the noted
bicycle riders Edouard Tayiore, Harry
Elkes and major" Taylor, says the
New York World. He was Taylore's
chief pacemaker in the Madison Square
Garden races of 1se9-19oO,. when he
rode his cycle motor called the Gin
fernal machine" and also appeared in
Boston, Baltimore and other cities.
He established several motor records
while in the United States He is the

JAPAN TO HONOR PERRY.

Monument to Be Unveiled Where the

The Bef-yu Kyu-Kai, Or American as

Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry's
memorable visit to Japan, to unveil a
monument to his memory upon the
very spot where his foot first trod jap
anese soil, says a Washington dispatch
to the New York Sun. The reasons for
the memorial given by the associations
circular tell in brief how the Japanese
today regard Perry's work. Baron Ken
taro Kaneko says:
"The visit of Perry was, in q word,
the turning of the key which opened
the doors of the japanese empire to
friendly intercourse with the United
States and subsequently to the rest Of
the natives Of Europe on similar terms
and may in truth be regarded as the
most memorable event in III annals
an event which paved the way and &C.
tolerated the Introduction Of q new or
der of things, an event that enabled the
country,to enter upon the u~nprecedent-
ed era of national ascendency in which
we are now living.
FThere is a reason, then-a strong rea-
son-why this visit of Commodore Per-

Of the Japanese people. She

be carried up to sufficient height it
would reach a strata that would take
it over Staten Island or any other con-

copper works at Laurel Hill, on Long

was found, complained. Consequently
a stack even higher than hat at Laurel
Hill was decided upon, which has cost
something over $4,000.
The construction Of such a stack on
the marshy ground at Constable HOOK
was a very difficult undertaking. and
involved great engineering problems.

In actions requiring only one hand

ance with Schley's request. The opin-
ion of Admiral Dewey, submitted with
the court findings, is the subject OF
much diversity of opinion. 1t is sup
posed by some thathe meant TO agree
with the majoriy's findings IN all
points except those that he qualities
and especially excerpts over his own
signature. Others aver that he dis
agrees entirely with the majority, and
that his signing their report, as well as
his own, was merely matter of form.
By giving Schley the credit for the vic
tory, Dewey evidently concludes that,
whatever shortcomings he was guilty
of, they did not influence the happy re-
suit and were not serious enough to
rob him of the glory. Many will dis
sent from this view of the matter,
holding that Schley should be held to
strict accountability for all his acts,
notwithstanding the outcome, and
should be judged for just what he did
or failed to do that affected the cam
paign. 1t is conceded that Dewey
committed a bad indiscretion in pro-

Of the president are disciplinary, and |
