PATRIOTISM OF JAPANESE.
From Empress Down to Peasant Girl
All Make sacsidces to Help
Relief Fund. s..ss. ....

Societies and associations have been
organized in Japan 10 relieve the fam
lilies of the fighting men, and every one
makes certain contributions to the relief
fund. Some men contribute money or
goods, some their labor, and most of the
lint and bandage used for the wounded
are the works of women, from the en-
press down to the peasant girl, writes
Nobushige Amenomori, in Atlantic.
Little boys and girls willingly forego
their daily sweetmeats, and give the
small moneys thus saved to the relief
societies. A boy II years old in a country
school made one day a contribution Of
two yen. It was thought too much for q
country boys gift. The school-taacher
and the alderman of the village suspect
ed the money might have been Civ en- the
lad by his parents to satisfy his vlnity:
in which case it should be admouished
against. An inquiry was accordingly
made, and brought out the fact that the
boy had actually earned the money for
the purpose by devoting his play hours
to the making of straw sandals. Even
some criminals working in prisons have,
made several applications to contribute
their earnings to the funds, though.
their wishes have not been complied

MEANING OF HORSE POWER
The Term Refers to the AveraRe Work
One Horse Can Perform
in q Minute.

What Is the relative amount OF work
that . man can do in comparison with
horse or machinery? At his very best
the strongest man stands In pretty poor
comparison. even with 4 horse, for hard.
continuous labor. He might perform for
. few minutes one-half horsepower Of
work. but to keep this up for any great
length Of time would be impossible.
Thus the gain in forcing horses to do
. part Of the worlds work was enor-
nous. One horse could exhaust q dozen
men in q single day, and still be ready
for the next days work. .-..-
According to st. Nicholas the meas
urement Of q horses power for work
was first ascertained by Watt, the father
OF the modern steam engine, and he ex-
pressed this in terms that hold to-day.
He experimental with q great number
OF heavy brewery horses to satisfy HIM
self that his unit of measurement for
work was correct. After many trials
he ascertained that the average brewery
horse was doing work equal to that re-
Quired to raise $50 pounds of weight 100
feet high in one minute, or 80 900 pounds
one foot in one minute. So he called this
one horsepower.
This work, however, Is not continuous,
for the horse would have to back up after
each pull to lower the line Of the pulley,
and thns he would work four hours q
day in pulling $50 pounds in the air at
the rate Of 100 feet, q minute. and four
hours in Stacking up the rope. Conse-
quently no horse can actually perform
continuously what is generally called
one horsepower. The horse wa1 never
born that could tug at q rope for eight
hours day. pulling $50 pounds 100 feet
each minute without rest or change.
Consequently, when we speak of horse
power We refer only to the average work
horse can do in one minute. that is to
say, the rate at which he can work.
A strong man might pull half that
weight 100 feet in the air in two min
utes, but he could not repeat the opera
ton many times without being ex-
hausted.
For all needful purposes the expires.
sion of one horsepower Is accurate
enough, and practically shows the meas
urement of an average horses abilities
for working. AS rule strong man
can in eight hours work at the rate of
about one-tenth Of one horsepower:
that is, it would require ten men to pull
800 pounds 100 feet in the air in q min
ute, and then slack up and repeat the
operation throughout the eight hours of
a working day. The worlds gain in labor
when horses were first employed to help
man in his work was thus tenfold.

offered him a place with a larger OPP
portunity. Without hesitation the
stone rolled from the secure little Of

an opportunity to show what he could
