An. Amazing AIpiabet.

.,t, An. Amazing Alphabet.
The editor OF the Japanesc" Daily
News has attowert himself to ,ba iptra1
viewed on newspapers and other mat
tefs. S~peaking IN p6rest English, he
explained that the settiAG in typs OF ..
Japanese newspaper is a vastly differ
ent matter from the like operation In
America. ""To begin with" said he.
for the printing of literary Japanese
about 5000 type characters ARE Ase-'
quir II. though Of these not more than
about 5000 are in daily use. With
these 90, 1000 Chinese characters are
used ninety four Japanese syllabics.
This. then. is the Japanese alphabet.
Imagine an alphabet Of over $4,000
characters! II will readily be believed
that the fitting OF the composing room
OF a Japanese newspaper is a costly
affair, and a'so that a very large estab-
lishment is required, and II numerous
stan to deal with the operation OF Sc
ting up the paper for the press. As a
matter OF fact, in the case OF the
Japan Daily News. the type is stored
round the walls of a very spacious
room. every available inch OF wall
space being occupied with cases OF
type. The process OF composing Is
divided into two operations. First
OF all the manuscript Is given out
among a stan OF some fifty boys, who
are specially expert In the art OF find
ing the necessary types among the co.
/ nan k..x, x.lf.h .La,. hapn o.. ,hnpGo
Copy in hand. the boys run round the
room picking out the types with great
skill. A glance at a Japanese news
paper with its thousand OF Chinese
hieroglyphics. many of which to the
Impractical eye appear exactly SINH
lar. will convince one of the keenness
OF vision required for performing this
work.
When all the necessary characters
have been found the boys take them tc
the oompositor proper. who, with the
manuscript before him, inserts the
necessary 'syllabics' and sets up the
copy. From this point the process ID
very much the same as that in any
other newspaper Office, the stereotyp-
ing. casting. and printing being don,
with English or American appliances
Naturally a much longer time is re.
quired for converting japanese manu-
script into print than is the case wher
dealing with an ordinary language
ip which with the present day type

script can be turned into so many

Beliefs About the Rainbow.

In many countries the rainbow is spoken of as being great bent pump or sphon tube, drawing water from the earth by mechanical means. In parts of Russia, in the Don country, and also in Moscow and vicinity 1t is known by name which Is equivalent to 'the bent water pipe" In nearly all the Slavonic dialects 1t is known by terms signifying "the cloud siphon," and in Hungary it is "the pump" "Noah's pump and Gods pump" The Malayan natives call it by the same name that they do their banded water cobra necheta), only that they add "bobo" meaning double headed), the equivalent in our language being the double headed watersnake." They tell you that the bow is real thing of life, that 1t drinks with Its two mouths and that the water is transferred to the clouds through an opening in the upper side of the center of the great arch.
 In the province of Charkoy, Russia, the rainbow is said to drain the wells and to prevent this many are provided with heavy. tight fitting stone plat. forms. In the province of Saratoy the bow Is said to be under control of three angels, one of whom pumps the water. the second feeds" the clouds and the third sends the rain.

When Moore Sang.

Tn singing his own songs Moore ai- tered the arrangement of the airs and sang the first part of each verse twice over ct tEa beginning instead of as refrain at the end. In that glorious cong of his, "Oh, the Light Entranc- ingv' Moores own singing of 1t was a matchless treat With head upraised, he seemed almost to revel in the fresh morning light as he gazed on the sight entrancing," and his eye spar kled as files arrayed with helm and blade" seemed to pass before him, while a deeper feeling awoke as the passion of the song came upon him.
 His voice. enc of infinite modula tion, but of small compass, rose clear and thrilling to its highest pitch as he gang:
 Go ask yon despot whether
 His armed bands could bring such
 hands
 And hearts as ours together.
 His song was an inspired recitative, and he seemed to improvise as he ran his fingers over the notes, and as the tide of thought came over him 1t was poured forth in harmonious cadences of exquisite variety. Had he been tied to chair, with the added doom of prosy companion, he would have ex- ploded and gone off like rocket or a bottle of sparkling champagne

President Escapes Death

The President of the United States escaped..:a tragic death by only few feet, in collision between his carriage and an electric street car in Pittsield last Wednesday, while one of his most trusted guards, Secret Service Agent William Craig, was instantly killed,
Holbrook argus., 1902-09-13

and David J. Pratt of Dalton, who was guiding the horses attached to the
 vehicle, was most seriously injured. The President himself, was badly shaken up, but received only slight
 facial bruise.
 Secretary Cortelyou, who occupied a seat directly opposite the President in the carriage, sustained minor wound in the back of the head, and Gov. Crane, who sat beside the President, escaped without scratch. The car riage was demolished by the impact of the rapidly-moving car, and the wheel horse on the side nearest the car was killed. The crew and passengers of the car escaped injury.
 The President and party were driv- ing from Pittsfield to Lenox, through South street, one of the principal thoroughfares, which was lined with cheering people, and the catastrophe happened in plain view of hundreds, whose happiness at the advent of the nations chief was suddenly turned to grief.
 On each side of the Chief Executive carriage rode two mounted troopers of the local cavalry company, and the horsemen on the sleft of the landau had turned onto the track with the trolley car immediately behind them. Alarmed by the changing gong they both turned in their saddles and waved vigorously to the motorman to stop his car. Almost at the same instant, Gov. Crane, who quickly perceived the danger, rose to his feet and likewise motioned to the motorman.
 The latter in great excitement des- perately tried to stop his car, but it was too late. It crashed into the car riage as loud moan went up from the frenzied onlookers, who thronged the roadside and who but a moment before were cheering the President The horsemen managed to get the fright ened animals out of the way just in time, and the ear struck the rear wheel of the carriage on the left side and plowed through to the front wheel of the vehicle, which received the full force of the blow. The carriage was upset and one horse fell dead on the tracks. The other three powerful grays attached to the vehicle started to run, and dragged by them and pushed by | the force of the car, the wrecked car riage was moved thirty or forty feet.
 Craig fell from his seat immediately in front of the car, and it passed over his body. Driver Pratt, in falling, struck the dead horse immediately in front of him, and rolled off clear of the car, thus escaping similar fate. The Presi- dent, Gov. Crane and Secretary Cortel- you were thrown together in the bot tom of their carriage. Almost instantly a score of men jumped to the heads of the frightened horses and stopped thair furt her prouracc

him.
