JAPAN'S USEFUL PAPERS.
House Walls, Rain Coats, Grain Sacks
and Tobacco Pouches.

From the bark Of trees and shrubs the
japanese make scores OF papers, which
are far ahead of ours.
The walls Of the japanese houses are
wooden frames covered with thin paper,
which keeps out the wind but let's in the
paper-walled "doll houses with the
gloomy bamboo cabins of the inhabitants
of the island of Java or the small
windowed huts of our forefathers, one
realizes that. without glass and in a
rainy climate these ingenious people
have solved in remarkable way the
problem of lighting their dwellings, and,
at least in measure, of keeping out the
cold.
AS a cover for his load Of tea, when a
rain storm overtakes him, the japanese
farmer spreads over it a tough, pliable
cover of oiled paper, which is almost as
lmperviOuS as tarpaulin and as light as
gossamer. He has doubtless carried this
cover for years neatly packed away
somewhere about his cart.
The ''rikisha" coolies in the large cities
wear rain mantles of this oiled paper,
which cost less than IS cents, and last
for q year or more with constant use
An oiled tissue paper, which is as tough
as writing paper, can be had at the sta
TONERS for wrapping up delicate articles.
Grain and meal sacks are almost al
ways made OF bark paper in Japan, for
it is not easily penetrated by weevils and
other insects.
But perhaps the most remarkable of
all the papers which find common use
in the japanese household are the leather
papers of which the tobacco pouches and
pipe cases are made
They are almost as tough as French
kid, so translucent that one can nearly
see through them. and as pliabie and
soft as calfskin. The material of which
they are made is as thick as cardboard,

Rritain's Depressing Winds.

In an article IN the Temperature of
the Air by William Marriott. secretary
of the Royal Meteorological society, is a
summary of the effects of the prevailing
winds of Great Britain on the tempera-
ture:
North winds depress the temperature
throughout the year.
Northeast winds do the same, except
in summer, when their effect is small.
East winds lower the temperature very
much in winter, and generally raise it in
summer.
southeast winds do nearly the same,
but less markedly in winter.
South winds raise the temperature
much in winter, but scarcely affect it in
summer.
Southwest winds do nearly the same
West winds decidedly raise the tom
perature in winter and lower it in sum-
mer.
Northwest winds lower the temporal
ture generally, but most in summer
knowledge.

The two braves were at the brink, and
one had his hand upon my shoulder.
The quick wrench L gave precipitated
the toboggan forward, and we began to
move faster. A couple of shots rang
through the startled air, one of them
striking the rear end of the now swiftly
moving sled.
The speed with which we were de-
scending the mountain side was mo-
mentarily increasing.
On and on-faster and faster-Gke the
whirlwind, like the mountain tornado,
we sped.
1t was with difficulty we could
breathe. Our hearts throbbed like the
pulsations of a steam engine.
About two-thirds of the way down
was the jagged rock, against which the
toboggan was wildly speeding.
Just before we reached the rock the
scout struck the snowy crust with the
butt of his rifle, and the toboggan
swerved safely around the obstacle. The
impetus of our motion tore the weapon
from his grasp and it went, spinning
down the incline.
At last we reached the foot of the de-
scent, and were gliding, at a greatly re-
duced speed, upon the frozen surface
of the Huerfano.
We were safe.-New York Daily News.

Degrees in Descent.

The late Phil May spent several years,
when a very young man, in Australia.
Here he met his first success as u comic
artist, but not until he had experienced
his share of ups and downs.
Six months after he left England, a
London friend, who has since achieved
fame as dramatic critic, also went out
to Australia to seek his fortune.
He, too, soon encountered ups and
downs, and during one of the latter hap
pened upon a cheap restaurant in an OBJ
scure street OF Sydney to order Il frugal
meal. After studying the bill-of- fare
earnestly he looked up at the waiter and
was startled to recognize in this person
his friend May.

WEBSTER GOT HIS BRANDY.
4 Story That an Old-Time Innkeeper
Was Fond of Telling

Olive Warner was born in Northamp-
ton, Mass, in 1880 and removed to the
center in 1921, purchasing an old tavern
built in 1893 by Asabel Pomeroy. He re-
manned there until 1881, when he sold
out to j. 3. Vinton, but bought back the
house in 1910, and remained in it until
his death in 1888. The tavern was a
stopover place on the old Boston and Al
bany stage line and gained a wide repu-
tatlOn as a summer resort for southern
men Of means. Oliver Warner was one
of the best known men in this part Of
the state. He was also q man of inhu-
ence, serving seven years as representa-
as state senator. Mr.. Warner used to
relate the following story of Daniel
Webster:
Zone night Mr.. Webster came here
very late by the stage, and after taking
his room, to which | had conducted him,
he said Mr.. Warner, | am an old man.,
and | am quite wearied from by long ride.
| need some stimulant and should like to
have you bring me some old brandy /
reminded him that | was then keeping a
temperance hotel, and that | had nothing
of the kind on hand. Mr.. Webster then
said: We'll, you must get me some at
the stores, then. Perhaps you have con-
sclentlous scruples against serving me
with liquor. You need not hand it to me,
but bring it and leave it outside my
chamber door, within the next ten min
utes, and when you are gone, | will take
and put it where no mortal eye can ever
see it again. The instruction were fol-
lowed and Mr.. Webster undoubtedly OBJ
tanned the brandy.
Oliver Warmers son, bearing the same
name, was secretary of the common
wealth Of massachusetts for fourteen
successive years. He fitted himself for
the ministry and became q settled preach
er in Chesterfield in 1874 In 1854 and
1888 he served in the House of Represen-
tatives, and in 1856 and 1857 in the
state Senate. He then became secretary
of the commonwealth.
1t is related that John =. Andrew, war
governor of Massachusetts, delegated to
Secretary Warner upon one occasion the
writing of the Thanksgiving proclama-
ton. Gov. Andrew was a Unitarian.
Secretary Warner was a strict orthodox
and he wrote q proclamation that was
freely interspersed with quotations from
the Scriptures. Curiously enough, the
opponents of Gov. Andrew, and especially
those who differed from him in religion,
seized upon this proclamation as mate
rial for an issue against him, and proved
to their own satisfaction that the instru-
ment was infused with the rankest sort
of heresy-Springfeld (MasS.l Union.

Decide What You Will Do.

An engineer who starts to build q
bridge and then keeps finding better
places to put his piers, and wondering
whether he has selected the best loca-
ton or not, will never get the bridge
across the river. He must decide, then
go ahead and build the bridge, no matter
what obstacle he may strike. So it is
with the builder of character, he must
decide finally what he will do, and then
make for his goal, refusing to look back
or be moved from his course. Tens OF
thousands Of young people with good
health, good education and good ability
are standing on the end of a bridge, at
lifes crossing. They hope they are on
the right way, they think they are doing
the right thing. and yet they do not dare
to burn the bridge they have just crossed.
They want chance for retreat in case
they have made a mistake. They cannot
bear the thought of cutting off all posi-
bility of turning back. They lack the
power to decide conclusively what course
they will take-SucceSS

Night Scene in London.

A few nights ago a characteristic and
highly interesting scene to those who
know and understand that least is east
and west is west occurred at a well
known and fashionable London restau-
rant. One Of our many distinguished
Oriental visitors, man who, to the ordi-
nary Englishman appears absolutely An
glicized, was supping there alone. Pres
emily he was observed to rise, walk
across the room, approach beautiful
woman, who, gorgeously dressed, was
seated at a table with a young man.
The Oriental seized splendid diamond
necklace she wore, tore it from her neck,
flung it upon the ground, trod upon it
with his foot, and then, without a word,
left the dining room before the aston
ished witnesses of this scene could in
terfere. His action is easily to be under
stood by those who know and admire
certain traits in the highly civilized

Electric Currents.

Scientific American: NJ. S. Leduc re-
Gently explained before the Academy Of
Science in Paris his method Of inducing
sleep and ~anesthesia by electrical cur
rents. He employees an interrupted cur
rent in a low-resistance circuit, and sleep
is induced by gradually augmenting the
e. NJ. f. in the circuit. From further in
formation we have received 1t seems that
the frequency Of the current used is from
$50 to 200 periods per second. Besides the
tnterrupter there Is also placed in the
circuit a milliampere meter, the period Of
oscillation of which is much longer han
the duration Of the Interruption Of the
current. Under these conditions when
the instrument is traversed by an inter-
mittent current the needle undergoes q
permane' t deviation. which enables the
intensity Of the currents having the same
intermittence and the same duration to
be compared. Leduc has experimental
with currents of varying degrees Of In
tensity, but those which gave the best re-
suits had from 15o to 200 intermittences in
the second. with a tension of from IL to
30 volts. The cathoae is mad Of hy-
drophilous cotton i~mpregnated with q So
luton OF sodium chloride of the strength
of o.6O per cent. and covered with a plate
OF metal. This is placed on the shaven
head OF the animal to be experimental on.
While the anode Is placed in the hinder
part Of the back, which is also shaved.
The E. NJ. F. Is increased till commissions
take place. and the animal falls on Its
side and respiration ceases. The handle
of the regulator is then brought back
ward till respiration returns, and with
a certain strength of current tranquil, or
binary sleep is Induced. The duration Of
the sleep Is variable. in many instances
lasting for two hours or more without any
i'll effects upon the subject. The returns
ing Of consciousness is effected by he
removal of he current, and no Injurious
consequences are said to follow.
