A BATTLE IN THE AIR.
Flies and Are Put to Ignomin-
fous Flight.

The Hochi Of Tokyo prints the follow
ing wonderful tale: "On the 23d ult., at
four p. M, that part Of airy space that
overcanopies slope commonly called
Notoyazaka, which forms part Of Uba-
gamimachi, in Yesashi, Hokkaido, be-
came the scene of sanguinary battle be-
tween hostile forces of winged creatures
The combatants were 100 swallows on
the one side and millions of dragon flies
on the other. If inferior In number, the
swallows were certainly superior In In
tellectual and physical powers to their
opponents on the occasion in question,
as one would believe, and everybody had
but one opinion as to the end OF the
mid-air contest.
But the unexpected happened, and
after charges and countercharges, and
other aeronautic movements ending in
at close quarter fighting OF some dura-
ton, the swallows beat hasty retreat,
or rather disgraced themselves by the
most confused flight ever INDUCED in by
a vanquished enemy Then the victori-
Gus dragon flies flew about that partic-
'ular portion Of the sky with the unmis-
taxable air of noble conquerors, per-
forming all sorts of 'assertive' antics,
which included airy curacoling, evolu-
tions, soarings, plunging, etc. all sutli-
GENTLY significant and all tending to pro-
claim the fact Of their undisputed occu-
patton of the atmospheric superticies
over the Notoyazaka."

ORIENTAL LUMBER TRADE BIG.
Commerce Gives Figures on
Chance Of Coasts Interests.

The lumber markets of the orient and
the share which the United States is like
lyto have in supplying tn EN-, is the subject
just now Of some attention by the depart
ment of commerce and labor, through its
bureau of statistics. The bureau recently
received and published statements Of
consuls In the orient, which announced
the arrival Of the first cargo OF lumber
In the Chinese market from Vladivo-
stock, by Russian vessel. This fact
opens the question Of future competition
for the oriental market between the
American lumber interests on the Pacific
coast, on the one hand, and those Of the
Russians in Siberia on the Yalu river on
the other.
The American industry of the Pacific
coast has the advantage of organization
on large scale, and of mechanical equip
ment This is evidenced by the rate Of
annual production. Unofficial estimates
put the annual cut of lumber and shingles
of the Pacific states at 4 1000 900 600 feet.
1t is calculated that, at this rate, the for
ests of the Pacific coast will be exhausted
in 40 years.
The Pacific lumbermen have been rap
idly charging their area and volume Of
commercial distribution. both In the for
eign and domestic markets. According
to figures gathered by the bureau Of sta
tistics, the redwood shipments from up
per California in 1902 amounted to $780,
597 COS feet.
In lumber has been expanding with cor
responding strides, Shipments by water
alone at Seattle were 64,472, sol feet Of
lumber in 1902, and 506,9 1854 TAG feet in
1901.

SENTENCED TO A BATH.
Had Religious Scruples Against
Water, hut In Vain.

Considerable trouble was aroused at
the county Jail at Denver few days
ago when Tong Fuyi, Chinese inmate,
was ordered by the court to take a
bath. Most of the sojourners there.
when outside, are not sticklers for
cleanliness, but the jurisdiction Of the
kangaroo court is necessarily limited.
and so they allow no opportunity to es-
cape of asserting their authority.
One of the most important dominions
over which 1t holds sway is the Jail
bathroom. Every inmate must take a
pilgrimage to its cleansing waters twice
a week. Now Tong Fuyi had seldom
experienced the polluting touch Of
water His ancestors had warned him
against it, and from his earliest recol-
lections he had daily prayed to his
Shinto god that he might never be de-
filed by it.
The kangaroo court, however did not
seem to grasp the force of his religious
arguments, and ordered that he be
ducked. 1t took four deputy sheriffs
of the court to strip Fuyi and drop him
into the tub. Fuyi called loudly for
the aid Of all the gods in the Shinto cal
endar. Both Buddha and Confucius de-
serted him in this hour Of need and
down under the water he went. He
sprayed the entire south wing Of the
building and gave his tormentors as
thorough a soaking as he got himself.
They soon had all the wetting they
cared for and left him to sink or swim
as best he could. Once out OF the tub,
Fuyi disregarded all stlvice to use
towel, but climbed into his clothes with
all haste and crawled off into a corner
to dry

CORSETS FOR MEN
Latest Fad That Is Attracting
the AttentI Of Swell
Uressers.

Latest in the worlds fads Is the cor
set for men. Partisan and other for
eign makers of corsets have decreed
that these once scorned articles shall
become a reality. Those who are brave
enough to wear them at the start claim
for the innovation boon to health
and comfort, but the great majority
still looks askance at the idea.
The makers who have set about
promoting the fad, and they claim tha
it is not that, are aware of the great
task before them. The masculine pub
lie hates anything effeminate and this
is what corsets have been considered.
There is no expectation or anticipation
of an immediate corset craze, but they
believe by earnest work that men can
be convinced of the good qualities of
this article of dress.
Mems corsets are not shaped to give
the wearers a ridiculous figure. They
may be either built to give a curve to
the back and sides or not, at the will
of the wearer. The makers aver thai
the same rule applies to mems cor
sets as to women's, who accept them
as ordinary articles of attire. They
sometimes make the mistake of tight
lacing.
AS yet few of this new departure
have appeared in this vicinity and un-
til they do the masculine population
will continue to look like men.

JURY MUST DECIDE
ART COMPETITION
Architects, Competing For Mckinley Memorial De-
sign, Insist that Code Rules be Applied
to the Contest

Although November Is is the date
fixed by the trustees of the National
Mckinley Memorial association as the
limit of time for the submission of
designs for the monument to be erect
ed in Westlawn cemetery, few plans
are expected by that date. About
month remains and as yet none have
been handed in to Assistant Secretary
Frederic s. Hartzell. Many well known
artists. architects and sculptors
throughout the country are at work
on designs but all claim that the time
allotted by the trustees is too short.
They have had about three months in
which to work but state that at least
six months time is needed.
The trustees will meet at the call
of the president, which has not been
sent out as yet, but the session will
probably be about November 15. Al
this meeting they will be asked to
take cognizance of the architects code,
adopted by the American Institute of
Architects, governing the awarding OF
prizes and contracts by competition
Nearly all the leading architects are
members OF this organization.
This code provides for the selection
Of an expert jury to pass on plans and
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1903-10-16

to make awards but 1t will be modified
In the present case SO that the jury
may only make recommendations to
the board. 1t also demands remuner-
alton for all unsuccessful applicants.
1t would be impossible for the trus-
tees to pay for all the designs which
will be submitted so 1t is said that
several of the best artists will be in
vited to compete and all will receive
pay for their work. This will change
the character of the competition from
an open to select one.
Additional information concerning
the monument is sought daily by those
who are In the contest. 1t is claimed
that not enough has been furnished
The competitors would like to know
whether the monument Is to be a
monolith or mausoleum, how much
sculpture is desired and similar infor-
nation. When the trustees met in
June they were not prepared nor did
they desire to restrict the plans in any
way, preferring that the artists, archl-
tects and seulptors prepare designs
wholly original. At the next meet
ing they will be better informed and
perhaps may take some action in this
matter.
