No matter what may be the outcome.
this will prove not only wonderfully inter-

advantage to more than one as an edu-

only care, it IL safe to say that, In a

Dtevens and His r Rail and Cunard's
Clipper Ship Model.
Robert Livingston Stevens sailed
from New York to Liverpool before
the advent of the ocean steamer. In
those days the passage took two
months, and Stevens passed many an
hour, jackkpife in one hand and
piece of wood in the other, brooding
over problem that had often worried
him-how to run a railroad without
stone stringers for tracks. He wanted
to get an iron rail that would hold"
and would take. the place of the thin
strips fastened to the chair of the
roadbed. Just before he reached Eng
land his whiting revealed to him the
solution of his problem, and that so
luton took the form Of rail with
a broad base that could be applied di.
rect to solid wood support. That
7 rail is still In use ON all railways
Of the world.
The elder Cunard, who was appren-
t1ced as lad to Scotch shipbuilder.
u said to have amused himself in
whiting the hulls of vessels. Occa.
sionally he would fit one of these with
masts, sails and rigging complete.
Tired of familiar types, he would ex.

these it was that attracted the atten-
ton of his master. because it would
not maintain it's upright position In

to ballast it In order to give it the

THE BIRTH OF JAPAN.
Curious Legend of the Creation
Handed Down by the Japanese.

Handed Down by the Japanese.
The following is the curious legend
of the creation as it is told in Japan:
once god Yzanagh and his spouse
Yzanuma stood bordering on the rid
die of existence, whether the oegin-
nings of worlds and the beginnings of
life lay slumbering in that sea "
chaos. Yzanaghi. apparently more en-
terprising than philosophically in
clined, seized bis shimmering spear
and plunged it into the black and
seethng flood. Pulling it up again, he
discovered seven salt drops on its dia-
mond point, which. dropping, con-
densed and formed the island Of Cuso-
kOrosima.
Thereupon YZanaghi and his spouse
selected the spot of earth which had
thus been created as their permanent
dwelling place and peopled it with in
life and spirits of the elements. And
around this palace of immortality"
rose eight other islands-Awadsi, the
island Of foam; the mountainous Che,
Yamato, blessed with fruit; YyO, I'M
surpassed in its beauty; the quinquan-
gular Tsikousi, Sado, rich in copper
and gold; Yki one of the pillars of
heaven. and Oko, surrounded by three
satellites.
Such was the birth Of Japan, Of that
curious land Of Fusiyama, with its
amiable population of artist artisans.
Its graceful teahouses, it's glistening
silks, its grotesque dwarf trees. its
white cranes and dreamy lotus ponds.
