ENGLISHWOMEN LEARN
JAPANESE WRESTLING
Athletes Who Golf Skate and PLAY Hockey Take to New
Craze-Triumph of Feminine Skill.

LONDON. April lit is only to be
expected that at the present time Jap
anese fashions should spread I'm Eng
land; and the. latest craze among the
athletic women who golf. skate and play
hockey is the japanese system Of self
defense
japanese women have been lately tax
ing up the practice Of the art, though il
has been universal among the men Of
the fighting class for many years.
And now the japanese professors who
have invaded us are gathering large
numbers Of society women, who are anx-
ious to know how to graDple with a
brawny man and reduce him 10 help
less pulp.
1t requires no strength-only quickness
and sxill-and IN these qualities a woman
generally surpasses a man.
There is something surprising in the
way in which a fragile woman catches
a wiry Japanese by the coat lapels, in
serts dainty foot in his stomach, sits
down quietly. and pitches him over her
head. II is all a matter Of balance.

Prof. Wood, of Hopkins,
Secures Patent.
HAS NO COMMERCIAL VALUE
Can Be Made Only on Glass Slides, and
Special Viewing Apparatus
Is Required.

BALTIMORE. Nd. April u-Dr.
Robert w. Wood, professor OF expert
mental physics at Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, has announced that after five
years investigation by the Patent Of
fee he has received a patent covering
all rights 10 the fundamental invention
of the process Of color photography by
means of the Rowland spectrosoopic DIFF
fraction grating
DR. Wood says that no method of
color photography has any commercial
value. His patent upon the fundamental
theory will protect his rights upon the
derivative inventions. The process at
present is valuable purely for its academ-
&c significance. The photographs cannot
be mace on paper, but only on glass
slides, and a special viewing apparatus
or electric lantern upon a screen must
be used 20 get the optical results.
BY employing the diffractiOn grating
colOred screens and pigments neces-
sary in all other processes can be elimi-
mated from the finished picture. and
duplicates can be made as easily as blue
prints are struck off from an ordinary
negative.
