with these extras. Since the opening Of
the war there has been scarcely night
that the enterprising newsboys have not
made the nights htdeous with their cries
OF startling war news extras. Before the
close Of the first week of the war the
writer's OF these fake cablegrams had
killed off the entire armies and navies
OF both Russia and Japan, and had
drawn all Europe into the conflict.

Will permit the issuing of these extras,
and the product is limited to one or two
papers. Virtually all the papers give
prominence to startling rumors. but
they do not permit the manufacture OF
these rumors in their own editorial
rooms.
This kind of journalism is popular
with the newsboys of the city. They
haunt the doors of the theaters and the
restaurants with great bundles of such
papers, and the public, eager to secure
the latest from the seat of war, though
knowing that in all probability the So
called news is a fake, buy them eagerly
at the price asked, five cents, profit of
Az cents to the newsboy. Others of the
street urchins invade the residence dis
tricts at all hours of the night, and their
shrill cries of double war extra" bring
the populace to doors and windows in
negligee attire in their eagerness to Sc
cure the news(?).
The grapevine extra" is product of
modern journalism, intended to satisfy
the appetite of the sensation lover.

money could not tempt him to serve
food to Jap. Now the old sores are
all healed, and the Jap is the most well
come visitor at the Chinese restau-
rants. He is even urged to attend the
joss house on Clark street, where pray
ers are offered daily for the success of
Japanese arms.
Chicago has very limited population
of Japs. At the breaking out of the war
there were not more than 100 of them
in the city, and within a week several
of these had started on their return to
the fatherland to take up arms against
Russia.
Unlike the 1900 Chinese of Chicago,
the Japs are well-to-do. The majority
are engaged in mercantile pursuits, such
as the selling of Japan teas and other
products of the empire, and when not ia
business for themselves are the repre-
sentatives of big exporting concerns of
Nagasaki, Yokohama or Toxic. Among
the merchants of the city they have the
reputation of being shrewd, but strict
ly honest, business men. They are
easily assimilated, are never seen in ma
tive dress, but wear stylish American
clothing. and their trade is much sought
after by the fashionable tailors. Though
at the present time they are consort-
| ing with the Chinese to a considerable
extent, as rule they have not cultivated
acquaintance in this direction, and
have given such of their less progress
sive neighbors as they meet in this
country wide berth Just now senti-
ment has made them regular patrons
of the better class of Chinese restaurants
where they are the heroes of the day.

NEW HYDRAULIC PRESS.
Unique Apparatus Used I'm England
for Removing Screws from
Steamship Shafts.

In English machine shops greater
variety of hydraulic presses is used
than in America. In this country, per-
haps the most notable service performed
by such apparatus is the forming of
armor plates for battleships. A mass
of soft steel is forged thereby with al
most the facility displayed by cook
In kneading dough for pie crust. One
of the kinds of work done abroad by
hydraulic power is setting wheels on
axles and removing them. A duty
which is somewhat akin to this is
loosening a screw propeller from the
shaft of a steamship, if repairs of either
shaft or screw become desirable.
When a propeller is originally put On
shaft it is fastened with pins running
inward radially, or with keys wedged
in between the shaft and the hub of the
screw. Additional security is obtained
sometimes by shrinking the hub on.
The diameter of the hole through this
latter is made a f1airbreadth less than
that of the shaft, but is temporarily en-
larged by heating. When the hub cools
1t shrinks, and thus takes firm hold.
The need Of fastening screw well is
apparent when one remembers that it
is expected to rotate with the shaft;
and that this latter is often made to
turn by an engine of 10000 or $4,000
horse power.
In taking screw off from the shaft,
then. the first step would be to put the
vessel to which it belonged in dry

business in it.
Something of the increase of inter-
est may be gathered from the fact that
the sales of machines at this exposi-
ton netted the manufacturers more
than $1,O00,OO0, a greater sales record
than was reached at the New York
show
Fashions in automobiles change as
in everything else. Last years fash
ionable touring car was without top
and the entrance, except for the chat
feur, was from the back This yea,
the canopy top machine is the correct
thing. and the entrance is from the
side. Practically none of the new cars
of elaborate pretensions but what have
the side entrance. Another feature in
this years cars is the increase in mo-
tive power Now the 24-horse power
touring car is more the rule than the
exception. Various mechanical details
are being changed also. For instance
the gasoline cars are dispensing wish
the use of water for cooling purposes,
and instead are using fans operated
by the running of the machines. The
electric vehicles show wonderful inl-
provement both in point of practical
bility and popularity.

center of the track while In such swift
motion, and to the necessity Of stop
ping the wheel quickly after complet-
ing the loop. In the apparatus here
illustrated the trouble in stopping the
wheels seems to have been eliminated,
though possibly not to the complete
satisfaction of the rider, who has to
dive head foremost into bag suspend

But that is not the worst of it. He is
compelled to enter the bag with his
head down and feet in the air and his
wheel bottom side up above him, the
latter portion o: the trip being taken
in that position. A. soon as the per-
former enters the bag it is released
from the hangings and swings outward
on the suspending rope, the counterbal-
ancing weight on the opposite end OF
the rope aiding in overcoming the mo-

the services Of the ''hello" girls are dis
pensed with. The rates charged by the
Bell system for an unlimited service,

company proposes a maximum charge

DIV that has become irksome. it is a
tempting bait that is offered, but the
question the public would like to be able
to answer satisfactorily is ARE the two

the death, the public are willing TO side

WOMEN'S GOOD WORK
WHAT THE FAIR SEX HAS DONE FOR
 AN ILLINOIS TOWN.

Trees Planted. Streets Cared For ana
 New Buildings Erected by an In.-
 provement Ciub-Tbe Founder of'
 the Organization.
 Among the wide variety of wemen's' organizations of the present day form. ed for use or entertainment there isI none that for immediate practical ben eft to the community and reciprocal, good to the members surpasses the vii iage improvement association.
 Its object is plainly defincd in the tt tie and presents q growing ideal of civ ic order and beauty. There is ne forIoi of social aspiration or endeavor thatt may not come under the head of tIie improvement club. Whatever pertalnsI to the appearance. government and st cial culture of the community comes rightly within it's scope and Inrisdie- tion.
 An example of this form of organiza- ton is that of Geneva. Ill, fs1nde0 about twelve years ago by Mira Juilh Plato Harvey. says writer in the Pib- grim. Though several men joined ih the new movement. it was distinctly Q woman's movement. originating ia the mind of one woman and earried out by her and he- sister associates. The men helped with money and aPpiauded th}s work. but soon voted themselves ont of office. telling the women to 90 ahead and do what they wished.
 The object of the new association was at first very simple-to clear tile streets of an unsightly litter of old tih cans and other rubbish. which had been allowed to accumulate for years: to cut down some dead trees that had long defaced the landscape and plant new ones The appetite for fixing up things grew by what it fed upon: the work widened The Improvement club undertook one task after another unti. 1t numbered as many lines of helpful activity as modern department club.
 A library was started. a new station house built. an unkempt cemetery put In order. the schoolhouse repaired and a woman placed on the school board. The money for the care of the streets |. raised as far as possible by annual memberships of $1. the sum needed be ing helped out by the usual feminine devices-lawn suppers. private theatrie- als. lectures and oyster stews.
 The cluD here spoken of was siagu- larly fortunate in its founder. Mrs- Harvey is well known in club and phi- lanthropic circles in the west for her intelligent leadership in this kind ot, work. She iS a woman particularly fiti ted for her chosen task. whose gift off leadership iics in sterling qualities. uni marred by the least spirit of self seekf ing. love of office or personal dispIayf Mrs. Harvey is q woman whom othefi women delight 10 follow.
