One of the first things to impress
itself upon a foreigner in Japan is the
popularity and the excellence of the
physical training given to Japanese
youth. They are race Of miniature
SEartans. and they have become so
through such patient painstaking toll
and endurance as would appall the av-
eragc American youth, Injured to soft
ncsses. The Japanese schools are
nearly all modelled after American In.
stltutions, or, as the people Ike to be-
liove, after a composite OF all that Is
best In the schools Of America, Eng
land, France and Germany. The stu
dents are not, OF course, trained in
modern athletics, and could hold their
own at nothing of this kind with our
magnificent college boys, but In sim
pie physical training, making the very
best OF what nature has provided, the

Astrologers Were WRONG.

According to the astrologers, the
world was to have come to an end on
Sept. 16, 1856. They had observed
with awe that at sunrise on that day
there would be conjunction OF all
the planets in Libra and no doubt the
argument was that such collection
would be altogether too much for the
balance of the universe. When It ar
rived, Sept. 16 proved to be a very
ordinary twelfth-century day. In 1924
astrology plucked up courage to try
again. This time there was to be
universal deluge, on the strength Of
the meeting of three planets in tho
sign of Pisces. and a private Noah's
ark was actually built for the occs
sion by devout believer at Toulouse.
The year 1924 proved to be a period

The Crate Booke," which was print
ed in England more than three cen
turtles ago, was exhibited to the des
cendants of John Cory and his BROTH
erS at the family reunion held in the
Cory grove, near Oaklandon, Thurs
day. The book, which is a priceless
heirloom in the family, has passed
down through nine generations, is now
the property of James E. Cory of
Pennsylvania, who at the recent re.
union was reelected president of the
Cory organization.
The history of the Crate Boole"
has been traced back as far as 1911,
when the family records show that
John Cory's mother gave the Bible to
her son as she wished him God.speed
when he left his home in Scotland to
try his fortune in America. John Cory
landed at or near Boston soon after
the coming of the Mayflower.
For a while he lived at New Lon.
don, Conn.,, where he was married. He
afterward crossed Long Island sound
and for a short time lived at South
ampton. where the records show that
on March Z, 1914 he was made whale
commissioner for the district of
Southampton. He died at Hasham-
omack, l.. l., in 1855, leaving four sons
and two daughters.
When John Cory died he willed the
Bible to his son Elnathan. Thus the
book has been handed down through
nine generations, and the time-worn
Bible that was exhibited in the grove
near Oaklandon Thursday bids fair to
remain a family heirloom for many
years to come. 1t has about 500
leaves of English parchment of pages
by IL, and 1t is printed in old Eng
fish type in the spelling Of that age.
It was published in 1903.
About 300 descendants of the young
man who first received the book with
his mothers blessing as he left to
set sail for an unknown land gathered
on Thursday in the old Cory grove,
where the old volume was an object
of reverence. They came from vari-
Gus parts of the United States, repre-
sentatives being present from Penn
sylvania. Alabama, California, Ohio
and Indiana.-Indianapo News.
