A lively controversy is on foot as to the real
merit of the meeting between a Russian wrestler
and an expert IN the Japanese game Of jiu-jitsu,
which took place last week. The master OF the
Oriental art was not thought to be the equal
Of the choicest Of the champions who had proved
their skill in London and elsewhere. Accom-
plishcd experts have repeatedly shown their
ability to do wonderful things with heavier and
stronger athletes, and it is by no means certain
that the japanese art is not worthy Of the most
careful study.

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

A process has been invented by Engshman
for giving artificial age wood He replaces the sap
of trees by beet sugar sacchaTine. Newly felled
wood is laid on a wagonette. which is rolled into
a huge cylinder provided with pipes The cylin-
der is supplied with sugar or saccharine. Hot
water is then forced through the pipes The heat
boils the sugar which penetrates the pores Of the
wood. The cooling is accomplished by cold water
forced through the pipes. The cylinder is emptied
and the wagonette with its burden Of wood, is
rolled into a special room, where it is dried by
currents OF hot air After being cooled again, the
wood properly seasoned by the sugar. is ready
for use. 1t is said not to spring or gather damp
ness. and to be proof against destruction by In
sects.
